Teachers' Reading

Pinko, idea-popping Professor Clyde R. Miller of Teachers' College, Columbia, who gives teachers as much advice per year as any man in the U. S., last week advised them what to read to see the news in clear focus. For the "intelligent teacher" he prescribed the New York American (Right Wing), New York Times or Herald Tribune (Centre), Daily Worker (Left Wing), World-Telegram, Post or Sun (school pages). To this he added magazines: New Masses (Extreme Left), Nation or New Republic (Left Centre), American Observer or TIME (facts), America, Commonweal, Christian Century (religion), Social Frontier (progressive education). Finally, for the "intelligent teacher" was prescribed one businessmen's "confidential news letter service," one Left Wing service. How any teacher, intelligent or otherwise, was to get through this mass of reading and still have time left for his classes, Dr. Miller did not explain.

In the World-Telegram Dr. Miller was quoted thus: "If ever a Pulitzer Prize should be awarded for variety and excellence of special writers, it should go to the World-Telegram." Simultaneously the Post happily quoted Dr. Miller: "If ever a newspaper deserved a Pulitzer Prize for trenchant editorials, it is the New York Evening Post."
