Abstract

The Lobby That Failed. Education Needs a Spokesman
Cox, D. W. | February 18, 1956 issue

The crisis in the country's public school system is primarily a money crisis that persistently outlives the hue and cry raised over it on radio and television and in the press. Succeeding White House conferences, including one held just a few months ago and National Citizens' Commission propaganda furnished plenty of weighty and alarming statistics, but no solutions. It is not enough to advise the public that it must take "greater interest" in local educational affairs. The public needs more than cliches upon which to operate.
