FOR THE CHILDREN ONLY
THERE Is nothing mo^e perma-
nent than differences between
human beings. This baa always
been since the beginning of time
and will always be until all hu-
mans are wiped from the face of
the earth. Men rise up against
each other due to these differences
and fights, wars, acts of violence,
hard wcrds und many other things
are the result.
In recent weeks all San Antonio
has been, and is stirred as never
before over the controversy raging
at Wheatley high school, and at
every turn that is the main topic
of discussion.
Far be It from me to attempt to
Judge the merits of the controversy
as put forward by any individual,
faction or factions taking an active
part in what might tie termed an
all-out fight. Rather, it It an ex-
pression of the thought as to
whether most of those taking part
are doing so merely In the attempt
to bettar things Xur those persons
for whom Wheatley high waa built
and is supposed to help, namely

are bad now they are not Just be-

And who do you think has suf-

than the CHILDREN who attend.
