Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - SO NOW THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT the Educational Explosion. We've had atomic- and hydrogen-bomb explosions. They tell us that the population explosion of the next fifty years is an even more deadly threat. And now comes the cry of the educational explosion. Absolutely nothing can be more important to you! The future welfare and even the existence of civilization is dependent on the EDUCATIONAL system. Very few people realize this. Candidly, DO YOU? Don't be too sure' When I was a boy, only 6% of l7-year-olds graduated from high school; only 4% entered college. Today, 71% finish high school, and 30% finish college. That is the educational explosion. This month I feel it is necessary that I tell our readers around the world the plain facts that exist - facts you need to know - yet few do. Education is something we are prone to take for granted - without question. Yet - and I have said it before - something is criminally WRONG with today's system of education. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
