Brooks Stresses Teachers' Role
Teachers play a vital role in the execution of America's mission in the world — "to point to justice, peace and decency" — a high-ranking State Department official said here yesterday.
Brooks Hays, assistant secretary of state for congressional affairs, was speaking at the Lawrence section of the 98th annual meeting of the Kansas State Teachers Association. He gave the talk to an audience which filled the main floor of Hoch Auditorium.
"THE COMPLETE and generous education is one that fits the individual to perform all the offices of life — public or private — justly, skillfully and magnanimously," he said.
He listed three ways in which teachers can prepare American youth for their "mission in the world."
- They should make each student "aware of the basic qualities of compassion and justice."
- They should "help young people find their place in governmental life."
- They should teach their students more than merely how to "attain the physical and material aspects of life"
Speaking on his first point, Mr Hays emphasized that men of all nations must learn to live together in an increasingly inter-dependent world. American schools, he said, must prepare students for this role by stressing the elements of "simple justice."
"THE CLASSROOM which fails in the instruction of simple justice is a failure to both the school and the community," he said.
Humphrey Urges Adenauer Meet
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Senate Democratic whip Hubert H. Humphrey has urged President Kennedy to arrange an early meeting with Chancellor Konrad Adenauer as the first step toward a Berlin solution and ultimate U.S. association in an Atlantic economic community.
The Minnesota Democrat, who returns tonight from a month-long European tour, recommended stepped-up American support of the European common market in a lengthy report to the President.
Humphrey, it was learned today, voiced confidence in the West over the "long pull" of a "generation of struggle" with the communists. But he predicated this feeling on vigorous U.S. leadership to initiate a "unified allied position on Berlin" and to move toward economic and political integration of the entire Atlantic community.
Humphrey said "close agreement" between the two heads of state is the key to allied unity in any negotiations with the Soviet Union on Berlin.
THE SENATOR'S REPORT was submitted to Kennedy last week. Humphrey advised Kennedy that he should meet with Adenauer as soon as the Chancellor has overcome his problems in forming a new government.
He felt an American-British-French-West German position could be quickly forged and be followed by agreement in the full 15-nation NATO alliance once Kennedy and Adenauer have a meeting of minds.
IN HIS 60-ODD PAGE MEMO to Kennedy, Humphrey emphasized that Europe's economic development is aiming a major strategic blow at Soviet plans for world domination.
He urged that the U.S. capitalize on this by pressing for eventual association in an Atlantic economic community. Such a successful operation, he said, would provide a decisive "pull from the West" on Soviet satellite countries.

"The world's greatest need is improved implementation of the basic qualities of compassion.
"Attaining this feeling of compassion involves balancing the interests of the individual and the society of which he is a part."
MR. HAYS, who served as a congressman from Arkansas for 17 years before being appointed to his State Department post under the Kennedy administration, told the convention that teachers should encourage interested students to enter political life.
"You can help young people find their place in governmental life as either a citizen or a politician," he said.
"You can make them aware of the challenge in our political life today."
IN HIS TALK, Mr. Hays contrasted education in America and the Soviet Union.
America should not try to imitate the Soviet educational system, he said, because the Soviet system places too much stress upon the material aspects of life.
"We must not make the same mistake Russia made—endowing science with all the authority deprived from religion," he said.
"Congress will continue to place great emphasis upon the physical sciences," he continued, "because of the great necessity for them in today's world. But we must not exclude the social sciences from our curriculum.
"Brotherhood has requirements that can't be met by physical science alone." he concluded.

It's the Law
OLYMPIA, Wash. — (UPI) — The state of Washington must believe it's more seemly to drink beer than to drink hard liquor.
Taverns, which are limited to the sale of beer, must be open to the street so passersby can see in, but cocktail bars, which may serve mixed drinks, must be shielded from the street so nobody can view the proceedings.
