The Foundation is keenly aware of the tremendous molding and shaping power exerted on youth by America’s schools and colleges.

FEE also recognizes that for many years our institutions generally have been teaching the “liberal” philosophy—the notion that the traditional American ways are outmoded, and that the State must increasingly regulate business and provide for individual welfare.

We will never change the present course of America’s history, lead it away from statism and toward individualism, until more and more teachers and students begin to understand libertarian ideas.

With this goal in mind, FEE proceeds with its high school and college programs—its cooperation with the Intercollegiate Society of Individualists, the creation of Study Guides, the preparation of High School and College Debating Material, and the Foundation’s College-Business Exchange Program.

High School (Livingston, Mont.): If gift subscriptions are still available, I would like very much to receive THE FREEMAN magazine . . . . I am a high school senior who won’t swallow a lot of the bunk which so easily impresses so many youths and elders alike

Purdue University (W. Lafayette, Ind.): As a graduate teaching assistant helping with our debate squad, I hope to assist the negative team of the GAW which will be a strong (I hope) step for developing libertarian ideas with these students.

Tufts College (Medford, Mass.): In the meeting with Cambridge University, Tufts debated the negative on the topic, Resolved: That modern society enjoys the greatest benefits under a planned economy . . . . After pointing out that the countries in which economic planning has been carried to the extreme are the very countries in which political liberties have been ruthlessly suppressed, we went on to the obvious disadvantages of such a system: wants are not fulfilled . . . the individual is forced to consume what the planners determine he ought to consume . . . complete concentration of power in the hands of a few men . . . total economic control and probable direction of labor via decree . . . .
