Dear Editor:
The- erection of the broad¬
casting booth at Dade High
School points up one startling
fact: Education has become a
farce; simply a “worthy” back¬
ground on which to fasten an
overwhelming number of extra¬
curricular, worldy activities—a
big step away from honesty—a
aid to juvenile delin¬
quency. Kids know adults do
not care anymore. We are foul,
unholy vessels.
