Local, State and Federal gov eminent have shared responsibility to contribute appropriately to the pressing needs of our educational system. We urge that Federal contributions be made available to state and local units (which adhere to basic minimum standards.
The Federal government should not dictate or control educational policy.
We pledge immediate consideration for those school systems which need further legislation to provide Federal aid for new school construction, teachers’ salaries and school maintenance and repair.
We urge the adoption by appropriate legislative action of the proposals advocated by the President’s Commission on Higher Education, including Federal scholarships.
We will continue to encourage the further development of vocational training which helps people acquire skills and technical knowledge so essential to production techniques.
Child Welfare. The future of America depends on adequate provision by Government for the needs of those of our children who cannot be cared for by their parents or private social agencies. _ Maternity, Child Health and Welfare Services. The established national policy of aiding states and localities, through the Children’s Bureau and other agencies, to insure needed maternity, child health and welfare services, should be maintained and extended. Especially important are the detection and treatment of physical defects and diseases which, if untreated, are reflected in adult life in draft rejections and as handicapped workers. The Nation as a whole should provide maternity and health care for the wives, babies and pre-school children of those who serve in our arafed forces.
