The front page of the DeKalb County Express announced American Education Week in their November 6, 1952 issue. Schools would be hosting an open house during the week of November 9 - 15, 1952. The open house for the Browne school would take place on Thursday, November 13, 1952 between 1:00 - 3:45pm.
The political cartoon on the front page is interesting as it reflects the animus regarding political parties never changes, even 68 years later. There is a bit of irony to the cartoon placed next to the topic of Education Week and the supposed value we place upon education. In 2020, more than half the American population do not know the meanings of the various political ideologies. They fear what they do not know or understand and vote accordingly much to their own detriment. This is just another indicator that the educational system in America has been on a downward spiral for decades.
