Nebraska's Educators
Research Thesis Underwritten
By JANET STEFFEN
Steff Writer
A master's thesis study of out-
s tan ding citizenship education
programs throughout the nation,
being carried on by a University
student, will be underwritten by
the Nebraska Department of the
American Legion.
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.

the Nebraska Citizenship Educa
tion Project sponsored by Teach-

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

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."
