be turning in his graye! Comâ€" munism is to be taught as a subâ€" ject in the American High Schools. The first text books are already on hand. They have been written by scholars in the fields of history, and social and politiâ€" cal science. They range from brief and easy primers to comâ€" gl:hensive 400 page volumes. ree of these books were reâ€" cently reviewed in the Christian Science Monitor by staff writer Earnest S. Pisko. Mr. Pisko claims the shortest he has seen is "What You Should Know About Communism and Why." (McGrawâ€"Hillâ€"Whittlesey House. 128pp. Illustrated. $2.50) Adapted by Dr. Mathew Mesâ€" trovie, in consultation with exâ€" perts on Soviet affairs, the book is intended to provide basic information for boys and girls at the senior public school level." The longest is Professor Wilâ€" liam Ebenstein‘s Two Ways of Life: The Communist Challenge to Democracy. (New York: Holt, Rineheart & Winston. 414pp. Ilâ€" lustrated. $3.60. Paper â€" back $248). . In between these two, as to length, stands Dr. Rodger Swearâ€" ingen‘s "The World of Communâ€" ism: Answers to 100 Questions Most Often Asked by American High School Students." (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company 278pp. Illustrated. $3.25). Dr. Swearingen quotes in his introduction the opinion of two high school students on whether they "should" study about comâ€" munism. One answered with an emphatic "Yes". The other, who answered with an equally emâ€" phatic "No" mentions among the reasons why she is against it that few teachers have sufficient knowledge of Soviet affairs and that the subject could not be preâ€" sented "without undue emotion entering in." ‘‘Neither objection", says Mr Pisko, "can be shrugged off. Unâ€" like arithmetic communism is a controversial subject. All ariâ€" thmetic teachers agree that two times two is four. But among historians and political and ecoâ€" nomic seientists there are few who agree on the hundredâ€"andâ€" one aspects of communism and the best means to counter it." He also agreed that a scholar‘s conclusions would inevitably be colored to some degree by his emotions. "Yet it is hardly too much to expect that with the overwhelming majority of Amerâ€" jcan high school teachers the emotions are firmly on the side The 1963 executive of the Hillâ€" view Presbyterian Women‘s Aid was installed by Reverend David C. McLelland during the mornâ€" ing service Sunday, January 20. The officers are as follows: Honorary Presidentâ€"Mrs. Daâ€" vid McLelland: Pastâ€"Presidentâ€" Mrs. T. Penman; Presidentâ€"Mrs. H.

The three books ‘ mentioned deal with their topic in what ap» pears the only correet way to handle.it. They constantly comâ€" pare communism â€" its dogmas, laws and mahnifestations â€" with the tenets, laws and manifesta> tions of American democracy They see that the most important purpose of teaching about comâ€" munism is to educate a generaâ€" tion of unfaltering democrats rather tham of violent antiâ€"comâ€" munists. But Mr. Pisko doubts whether the senior public sehool is the place to start this education by comparison. There is not enough room in the curriculum, he claims, and few of the pupils are mature enough. He points out that the material in Dr. Mestroâ€" vic‘s book is too big and too comâ€" plex for a brief treatment and, although nothing that the editor has put down is incorrect, too much is missing. Dr. Swearinâ€" gen‘s question and answer comâ€" pendium, he believes, is much more complete and avoids the smaller book‘s "talking down" to the student: In Mr. Pisko‘s opinion; the| most powerful one is Professor Ebensgin‘s book. In its four parts â€" Democracy as a Way of Life, Communism as a Way of Life, Economic Systems under} Democracy and Communism, lndi The Challenge of Communism| Today â€" there is hardly any perâ€"| tinent feature of the two worlds| that is not dealt with adequaâ€"| tely, he said. | ‘This is undoubtedly true since both the World of Communism and Two Ways of Life contain glossaries of Communist jargon and suggestions for further readâ€" ings along with some 40 pages of selected readings ranging on the democratic side from John Locke to J. Edgar Hoover and on the Communist side from Karl Marx to Cuba‘s Ernesto ‘Che‘ Guevara. GIFT CERTIFICATES Abominable Snowman A Myth Sir Edmund Hillary, the conâ€" queror of Everest, and leader of an expensively equipped expediâ€" tion to discover th> "Abominable Snowman," no longer has the slightest belief in the creature‘s existence. > Sir Edmund contends that he found a simple but logical exâ€" plantion for all reports of the Snowman‘s activities investigatâ€" ed by his team. "As far as I‘m concerned," he said in Montreal recently, "the Snowman is "just a myth. In the area supposed to shelter him he exists only in the minds of the natives." & "We figured,""he said, "that the tracks were just tracks made by small animals enlarged by the sun melting the snow around them." Sir Edmund also doubts whethâ€" er the Chinese really climbed Everest. According to their claims, their mountaineers reachâ€" ed the summit at 2 a.m., when it was impossible to take pictures. And instead of planting a flag there, they left a bust. of Mao Tseâ€"Tung. More proof is needed, in Sir Edmund‘s view, before the Chinâ€" ese claim can be accepted.

Maybe you are carâ€" rying a chip on your shoulder, and cannot la ugh things off. Maybe if you start looking at things from this angle perhaps you will come up with a soluâ€" tion. You say your husband loves you and the children. You have a lot to be thankful for because there are many who do not even try to provide, and that makes life very miserable. Most people do not seem to like me, and I don‘t know why. How can I make and keep friends? I hope you come up with a cure, but if not, laugh it off, and life will be much pleasanter. Sally Scott. Dear Sally Scott: Dear Friendless Try to find some adults you know and ask them this quesâ€" tion, There may be some very| good reason that you are not! aware of. | Friendship stems from genuâ€" ine, warmâ€"hearted interest in other people. Selfâ€"centred and selfish people seldom have many friends. Try to keep a smile on your face and say only pleaâ€" sant things about others. Develop hobbies and interests and broaden your reading, so that you will have something to talk about. I cannot give much advice on this question as I have no hanâ€" kering to smoke, but a great many people have the hankerâ€" ing, and seem to enjoy a smoke. So, if you feel better about givâ€" ing up smoking, just do it all at once, and perhaps you will sucâ€" ceed. Best of luck to you. Sally Scott.
