DOCKWEILER    Congressman John F. Dockweiler, Representative of the Sixteenth District of  California, is a Statesman with a National reputation. He is the fourth  ranking member of the Democratic Party in Congress, with advanced seniority  as a member of the Appropriations Committee.    Dockweiler is a native of California, well acquainted with its need. He was  born, educated, and practiced as an attorney in Los Angeles for 10 years  before going to Congress. He is a descendant of one of the State's pio-neer  famlies, and he is a worthy representative of that family, which for 50  years has been prominently identi-fied with the upbuilding of the State.    He is one of eleven children... eight sons and three daughters. Of the  eight sons, one is a Congressman, one a Lieutenant in the United States  Navy Construction Corps, one a Judge of the Superior Court, one is a  doc-tor, three are practicing attorneys, and the youngest a law student.  His three sisters are married and living in California. Here is the  brilliant son of a brilliant Cali-fornia family, headed by Isidore B.  Dockweiler, former National Democratic Committeeman and for 50 years  identified with local, State and National affairs.    Dockweiler comes from a family prominent in Cali-fornia since 1852 and in  that time there has never been one word of censure, one word of criticism  directed to ward a member of the Dockweiler family.    John Dockweiler is 43 years of age this year. He has been a representative  in the Congress of the United States for six years. He is able, qualified,  fearless and is a champion of the cause of business, as well as a friend of  the laboring man.

DOCKWEILER  16TH DIST. CALIFORNIA    MAY RONSAVILLE  SECRETARY  1741 HOUSE OFFICE BLDG.      Congress of the United States  House of Representatives  Washington, D.C.      MEMBER  COMMITTEE ON  APPROPRIATIONS    SUBCOMMITTEES:  WAR DEPARTMENT    CHAIRMAN:  LEGISLATIVE    CHIEF ASSISTANT  WHIP  DEMOCRATIC      Executive Committee  Dockweiler-for-Governor Club  Gentlemen:       The entire structure of democracy rests upon the foundation of public     education. In a democracy, illiteracy and ignorance are the enemies     ofjustice and prograss. Public education, adequately supported and free     from all politics, is the best guarantee of freedom and the surest hope of     future advancement. Education, therefore, is and must continue to be the     most important function of a democratic state.       In California the state constitution recognizes this basic principle.     It provides that money for public education shall be the first call upon     the state treasury. Because of this enlightened constitu-tional provision,     not a single school in California was forced to close its doors during the     depression.        The problems of the public school affect the welfare of society as a     whole. Academic freedom for teachers is essential to the success of     education and democracy. Academic freemom must be unrestricted and must be     protected against intimidation and control.  PROBLEMS AFFECTING DIRECTLY THE WELFARE OF SOCIETY AS A WHOLE       When the schools are efficient, sofiety is the direct and immediate     beneficiary. When the schools are inefficient, society is the loser. [bold]     An inefficient school is an economic waste, but worse still, it is a waste     of American youth. [/bold]       Adequate financial support for public ducation at all levels from     kindergarten through the state-owned institutions of higher learning, and     including adult education, is essential to the welfare of our society.     Equipment for students must be maintained on an up-to-date basis.       Funds for the support of the schools should be provided generously by     the community and by the state, in order to insure an equal opportunity for     all the children of the state.       The state of California has assumed the larger share of the financial     support of the schools. The state should continue its present contributions     and should retain the constitutional guarantees which require such     contributions. No tax revision scheme or budget limitation device should be     permitted in any way to imperil the financial support of the schools. The     question is, not how little money is needed to finance an inadequate     educational program, but rather, how much money is needed to finance an     effi-cient public school system and how the money needed may be raised most     fairly.            PROBLEMS AFFECTING DIRECTLY THE WELFARE OF THE PUPIL IN THE     SCHOOLS       The center of interest in the schools is inevitably the pupil. The     pupil's needs, interests, and potentialities should determine both     educational method and the school curriculum. The curriculum must recognize     the fact that the pupil lives in a modern world, but the expansion of the     curriculum should never result in the neglect of training in the     fundamentals.       The curriculum of the present-day school must not be so crowded with     subjects required by state law that efficient teaching is impossible.       Vocational guidance is a responsibility of the modern school program.     In the future the state of California may cooperate with the schools in     helping all graduates to find their proper places in society.            PROBLEMS AFFECTING DIRECTLY THE WELFARE OF THE TEACHER IN THE     SCHOOLS    The teaching personnel of the schools of the state should be carefully     selected and trained. Teachers should be paid salaries large enough to     enable them to maintain a comfortable standard of living and to continue     their own cultural improvement by travel and advanced study. Teachers'     salaries should be protected from extreme reductions in time of economic     depression, for teachers do not share pro-portionately in the nation's     income in time of economic prosperity.       Teachers merit and should continue to have, so long as they are     efficient, the fullest measure of tenure protection. The extension and     improvement of tenure is desirable.       The size and number of individual teacher's classes, or the teacher's     load, should by all means be maintained at a level commensurate with the     highest instructional efficiency. The standards of common school education     should not be lowered to provide amplification of higher learning, and     equal oppor-tunity should be extended to all shcool districts in order that     we may guarantee the educational rights of children in the elementary     grades.       A sound, adequate state retirement plan for teachers is essential to     the welfare of the public education, and must be maintained.       Employees of school districts who are not teachers should be paid     wages that are in general higher than those now paid and should be given     civil service protection, sick benefits, and retirement privilages     comparable with those now given employees of the federal government.       The welfare of the students in the schools is directly dependent upon     the welfare of the teachers and of other employees of school districts. Any     neglect of the welfare of the teachers or of other employees will result in     an impairment of the efficiency of the schools.  Yours very truly,  John F Dockweiler"},{"label":"Source","value":"Department of Archives & Special Collections, William H.
