Take Leadership America must accept the leadership of the free world for a long time to come, Dr. Robert Kazmayer told the Institute audience last Friday in Woodstock. Dr. Kazmayer, noted world traveler and intimate observer of people and governments throughout the world, said the American public school system has the responsibility of developing an informed leadership for the years directly a- Jjead. . , -nHe^said young and old alike must ^understand world crises and international flareups against the backdrop of history. , "Today's struggle is between two» concepts of life--the Russian material -based worjd where man is mere animal arid ^• belief that man has a soul and there life beyond this life," he averted. rX>Vw Kazmayer warned this nation must undergo a religious resurgence, adding, "We can't fight bad faith of Russia with np faith at all. We need the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man instilled wiihiC^ ll of us. -In the morning session, Dr. j Gfiorge Bereday, Columbia uni- i versity professor, said the Unit-' ed States educational philoso- j pt&jQf trying to educate every-! one does, in fact, exist. ! ""I hope we continue to carry 1 out this idea. Other nations study our educational system : and copy some of our ideas. We j realize the value of human life ; :--every life here is important,' he declared. The annual Teachers' Institute is sponsored by Richard L. Tazewell, county superintendent of .schools, and the Mc- Henry County Education association. Dr. Kazmayer threw considerable light on the present world flareups or wars in . Viet Nam, Cuba, Africa, and Cypress. Musin' iderin' (Continued From Fage 1) in order to forcast the weather next Jan. 23. Last fall pheasants made wide tracks, which is supposed to indicate lots of snow. Snowfall had totalled little more than 10 inches by late January compared to twenty-six inches by that time last winter. It was a good winter for those of us who had to stay at our desk and work--bad for the usually fortunate folks who winter in the South, for many parts experienced less pleasant weather than here in the north. With Easter only a week arid a half in the future, we can look for even better things to come. Speaking of politics--and everybody is--we still have some fears for our two-party system. It is generally recognized that the verdict of New Hampshire primary voters could well snowball into support which might win a nomination for Republican Henry Cabot Lodge, presently serving under another Administration. In spite of very sound reasoning of any political party for giving an appointment to the opposition, only the naive really believe this can happen where views represent different types of thinking on major issues. It still seems to us that we, as voters should be given a choice, not of men but. of viewpoints, and in our opinion this can't result from an incumbent from one party and his appointee representing the opposition. •. This stand holds good regardless of the party in power! Who has ever questioned that advertising doesn't pay? A lady callcd our office last week to say she had received thirtytwo calls on the sale of her house trailer. K. A. F. THREE-CAR CRASH No one was injured in a three-car crash which occurred last Saturday, just east of McHenry on Rt. 120. Andrew Davidson of Island Lake, driving east, stopped to make a left turn.

The vote, which authorizes the PTA unit to support actively a referendum being organized by a citizens' committee, came at meeting at which the four candidates for the Harrison district 36 school board also appeared to state their qualifications. The PTA motion noted that the school district is in a serious deficit position, and that this could effect the education of children, which is a primary objective of the PTA. Harrison school board candidates appeared in , the order that their names will appear on the ballot for the April 11 election. They are James Blume, a telephone company supervisor; Henry Setzler, an electrician and currently a member of the board completing his second term; George Street, mail route carrier, and James Gianola, airplane pilot. None addressed himself to the question of the referendum. Privately, after the meeting, each indicated he would support efforts to increase funds to the school. State Views Blume and Giai)pla are on the citizens' referendum committee. Setzler, (as well as other school board members), has not been invited to serve on the committee in his official school board capacity, but he indicated he favors a referendum although not at this time, and after other steps have be&n taken to balance the budget.

Illinois, he noted ranks among the top three or four states using the services of psychologists in the public schools, and providing special instructional services and facilities.
