    Need to Fight Communism

    But with even the most optimistic of out statesmen decrying the subtle inroads of Communism in the U. S., I realize more than ever the need to educate the whole child; the need for the giving spiritual stability to out children, having the, know what they believe and why.

    This is why I am leaving Culver, though I do so with genuine regret.
