COLLEGE LIBRADETROIT.MICHIGAN  \n# Vital Issues\n\n\"A DISCUSSION GUIDE FOR  \nTHE COST OF EDUCATION-  \nBETTER INFORMED AMERICANS”  \nA service of the  \nCENTER FOR INFORMATION ON AMERICA  \nWASHINGTON,CONNECTICUT  \nVolume VII,Number 1  \n## HOW MUCH?CAN WE AFFORD IT?\n\n\"The whole problem of education is one of its cost in  \nmoney.”  \nThis puts it rather crudely.  \nYet the remark was made by no less a person than HenryAdams,brilliant historian and commentator on America,andmember of a family which has given the U.S.A.two Presi-dents.  \nOf course Adams didn't mean that all we have to do isfork out cash.He was well aware that education is a com-plicated process,a key to life and living that cash alone can’tbuy.  \nBut teachers,a basic ingredient in the educating process,have to eat,and paying them costs money.If we pay ourtwo million and a half teachers better,as many recent studiessuch as the Rockefeller Report on Education insist we must,the price of education is bound to rise.  \nThis increase must be added to the other mounting costs.  \n## Why are they mounting?\n\nIn the first place,we are educating far more people.Every-body knows about our rising birth rate and has seen calcula-tions that the student population is likely to double within avery few years.Furthermore,especially at the college level,courses undreamed of in the horse and buggy age need to betaught.Courses built around advances in science and tech-nology are apr to be more expensive in teaching equipment.And we'll need more and better guidance courses and advisorsif our young people are to make the most and best of them-selves in this complicated age.Good guidance programs—now woefully scarce—come high.  \nFurthermore,as a recent issue of Business Week points out,inflation has about doubled the price of everything..  \nMost states and communities that have taken the troubleto figure ahead on their educational needs anticipate a stag-gering rise in costs.  \nShould we and can we pay more?In this respect,it'sinteresting to note that only around 3.5 percent of our grossnational product(the value of what we produce)goes intoeducation,and that this percentage has just recently startedgoing up after a considerable period of actual decline.  \nA distinguished group of Americans,headed by Dr.EdwardLitchfield,Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh,recentlyreturned from taking a look at Russian education.This iswhat impressed them most:\"First,.·.an almost universalbelief...in the value of higher education.Second,:··willingness to pay the very high costs that are involved inmoney,in plant,in human effort.\"  \nFor many years we have practiced the principle of freeand universal education through high school,with continuingeducational opportunity beyond that point.  \nThe Russians have only just recently caught on to this idea.But what they already have been able to do with it comes  \nDrowings by C.P.Meier

cherished way of life and theambitions of the U.S S.R.,we need to pay special heed toDr.Litchfield's warning:Russian efforts,especially as tohigher education,must “give very serious pause to any nationwhich finds itself in a competitive position.”If we have notalready done so,we had better wake up to the fact that thesurvival and well-being of our nation depend no less on thestrength of our educational system than on that of our militarydefenses.  \nSticking to our own educational ideals,we must do be","cbCaiuOCl5PAcaol","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuOCl5PAcaol","pdf",368926,"English","#
