"We can't have federal aid to
education without federal control,
and I fear federal control," James
Adams, county school superin-
tendent, told the Kiwanis Club
Friday in Hotel Sienhen*- . ..

of what and when to teach, is
bad, in fat, it is one of the worst
things that could happen,” he
Mid. ''Instead of bureaucratic
control of education, I favor our
48 systems, even though some
may not be all that would be
desired." “'=--
, Adams Mid the National Edu-
cation Association (NEA) is the
most active and the strongest
advocate of federal aid for educa-

port which said the American
capitalistic system "is decadent,
and should- be supplanted by a
collective system.”
And he said the 1955 White
House conference on education
was strongly suggestive of alien
