At a department executive committee meeting Monday, the Legion approved the proposal of its education committee, headed by Earle W. Wiltse, superintend ent of schools at Grand Island. The proposal provided for sup porting financially the graduate study of Ralph Kellogg, which wiu include a series of case studies of citizenship education projects. Dr. Royce Knapp, director of the Nebraska Citizenship Educa tion Project sponsored by Teach- The Legion action is discussed In an editorial on Page 2 of today's Daily Nebraskan. ers College, and professor of sec ondary education, will supervise the study. The Legion committee voted to LEGION RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED, by the Department Executive Commit tee of The American Legion, Department of Nebraska, in regular session convened this 9th day of March, 1953 1. That the Nebraska Depart ment of The American Legion reaffirms its faith in the effec tiveness of the citizenship edu cation carried on in Nebraska's schools, colleges and universi ties. We believe that training future citizens is one of the ma jor responsibilities of all educa tional institutions. The Legion commends the educational lead ership of Nebraska for the steady and continuing work in the schools and colleges which instills basic loyalties to Ameri can ideals by presenting chal lenging study of the Declaration of Independence and our state and national constitutions, by teaching American history and literature, by teaching our na tional anthem, by commemorat ing the lives of our national heroes, by recognizing our na tional holidays, by presenting the problems and issues of our state and nation by open dis cussion, and by sponsoring ac tivities that foster Individual responsibility, leadership and good sportsmanship. 2. That we condemn the auth ors of subversive attacks upon the schools, whether they be diffident individuals or groups In the local communities, or inspired by evil forces, financed, directed and operated by agents of subversion against our na tion and the American way of Ufe. 3. That we call cpon every member of The American Le gion to be on the alert In his community to know the schools, and to recognize these attacks when they occur, and to stand ready to support and defend against all enemies. 4. That we do hereby thank the members of the teaching professions and their organiza tions for the rreat assistance rendered to the Americanism program of The American Le gion. 5. That the Nebraska Depart ment of The American Legion commends the school boards, trustees and regents of our edu cational system in Nebraska for their careful selection of teach ers, faculties and administrators who are loyal to American premises of liberty. The Legion reaffirms its faith In the aca demic freedom necessary for stimulating and challenging teaching and research, but em phasizes that such freedom does not constitute license nor does it extend to the privilege of teaching precepts inimical to nlir American system in our y Nebraska schools. The Legion T . . m At t commends tnose eaucauonai in stitutions which are doing their best, by realistic American teaching, to reveal the truth about communism, socialism, and other undemocratic systems. DUSlrDDp 0V0D finance Kellogg's research up to $1,000. In addition, the committee passed a resolution reaffirming "its faith in the effectiveness oi the -citizenship education carried on in Nebraska's schools, colleges and universities." The resolution, also recom mended by the education commit tee, continued: "The Legion com mends the educational leadership of Nebraska for the steady and continuing work which instills basic loyalties to American ideals." Moreover, the resolution read. "we condemn the authors of sub versive attacks upon the schools, whether they be diffident indi viduals or groups in the local communities, or inspired by evil forces." "We call upon every member of the Legion to be on the alert to recognize these attacks . . . and stand ready to support and de fend against all enemies," the resolution continued. In conclusion, the resolution stated that the Legion "com mends the school boards, trus tees and regents of our educa tional system in Nebraska for their careful selection of teachers. faculties and administrators who are loyal to American premises of liberty." In financing the citizenship education study, the Legion hopes to "study and diffuse current de velopments in citizenship educa tion," according to the education committee's report. This report also states that "Th American Legion believes that good citizenship is the most im portant goal of education." Though the content of Kellogg's study will be entirely determined by himself and his advisor Dr. Knapp, the Legion education com mittee plans to prepare a bulletin describing "the best practices re vealed by the study." The bul letin would be made available to Legion posts and school officials of Nebraska, according to the education committee's report. Dr. Knapp said that one of the case studies which will probably be included in Kellogg's thesis is the Nebraska Citizenship Project. For four years this project has helped schools develop and im prove their programs of citizen ship education, Dr. Knapp pointed out. In working with schools and community groups, the Nebraska Citizenship Project work has co operated with the American Le gion and other agencies interested in citizenship, Dr. Knapp said. At Legion-sponsored Boys fatatt last spring, the Citizenship Proj ect introduced a "Nebraska Prob lem Study," which Dr. Knapp said "focused boys' attention on the real problems of Nebraska." An example of the type oi worn which Kellogg will study, Dr. Knapp said, is the Citizenship Project's pre-school workshop conducted in Grand Island. Dr. Knapp pointed out that Grand Is land's program instituted citizen ship education in every subject and activity from kindergarten to the twelfth grade. "Citizenship, as denned by tne Grand Island board of education, is based on seven goals coopera tion, tolerance, spiritual values, responsibility, knowledge, politi cal citizenship and self-development. Through "diffusing develop ments" of such programs, the Le gion said it hopes to "encourage schools to further improve their citizenship programs." Gibson Says 15 Vacancies For UN Trip' Registration for "Meet Your Government" and "United Na tions" seminars to be held in New York City and Washington, D. C, will end Wednesday.

They will spend three days in the nation's capital and four days in New York City. The total cost, between $90 and $110, exclusive of personal ex penses, will cover registration for the seminars, food, rooms and transportation. 1 f L & J.- I V ton and Paula bcnarman.
