Funding the Arts
Over the past few years there has been a steady erosion of available funds for arts programs within public schools. Music in particular has
been hit hard. Perhaps parents and school officials feel music programs are more of an accessory than anything else. However, these programs
provide valuable resources for students.
First, numerous studies have been done showing that prolonged enrollment in music programs improves grades for students. Other
studies show that playing an instrument improves critical thinking and socializing skills. Also, data is available that shows that students who play
a musical instrument for an extended period of time are twice as likely to attend and graduate from college as non-musical students. Critics
argue that music programs are overly expensive, but this is just not true. Although the cost of starting a music program from scratch can be
expensive, over time this cost drops dramatically. Also, if schools sell tickets for seasonal concerts, music programs can actually bring in a profit.
Therefore, because music programs improve student grades, enhance critical thinking skills, increase college graduation rates, and remain
relatively inexpensive, we should not cut music from our schools.

what do u need with

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
