The NEA Journal, January 1951

Alexander McFarlane supplied this copy of the NEA Journal from January 1951. The magazine was 80 pages long and contained no color pictures. Splashes of color were added in and around pictures and several pages were tinted green and blue. Citizenship was a central theme of this particular issue. The cover was black and white with a splash of orange at the top.

Not one of the articles mentioned classroom discipline. Nutrition/health was a secondary theme in this issue. Here are some of the titles to articles featured in this issue:

Those Citizenship Cliches!, by Stanley E. Dimond

Our Schools Have Kept Us Free, by Henry Steele Commager

Mind Control in the Soviet Union, by George S. Counts

Four Barriers to Higher Education, by Felton G. Clark

Rub Each Other the Right Way, by Louise Ireland and Glen Cree

When Students Become Trained Leaders, by Donald Nylen

I Love to Watch Them Grow, by Martha A. Shull

Mobilization and Education, by J. Kenneth Little

Three Rs for Health, by Arthur H. Steinhaus

The three Rs are refreshment, relaxation, and recreation. The article by Steinhaus says that one way to relieve tension is to "move your head in a large circle." Don't we wish it was this easy!

World War II was mentioned throughout this issue and the issue of atomic energy and weapons was a concern. One of the selected books on the the literary page was The Effects of Atomic Weapons, by the Superintendent of Documents in Washington D.C.
