Questions for Teacher. From Kyoto, headquarters for the Occupation Army's First Corps, the Americans have also launched a program to educate adults-a 19-lesson course, with films, lectures and discussion groups. It meets for two hours twice a week, covers every field of postwar reform from taxes and public health to trade unionism and the new constitution. Given in seventh-grade language, it is designed to teach 30 million adults, in the next five years, "the principles of democracy which everyone can understand...

If Senate 5, or any one of its ilk, passes the legislature, Cambridge and other Plan E cities will have to return to old methods of voting, ward system and all. Plan E, an effective means for achieving municipal reform, will be emasculated; the politicians who would like a return to old times, as well as those who want no change in present city government, would have what they've been after all along...
