Abstract

The Power Trust in the Public Schools
Norris, George W. | September 18, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

In America there is the public school system. It is essential to the perpetuity of institutions. If public schools are perverted and defiled, governmental institutions and weakened and will eventually be destroyed. The author says that this is a property which belongs to everyone a source of human happiness. It has become a necessity of modern life. Therefore it should never become the subject of private profiteering. Its utilization in the homes of America and in the factories of commerce, for practical purposes, depends to a very great extent upon the elimination of private profit from its generation and distribution. Like water, it should be supplied to people at actual cost.
