Transcription

Federal aid for building schools, teacher salaries, scholarships, student loans, college housing. These objectives have made Senator Kennedy the nation's recognized leader for more aid to education. We need the best educated citizens in the world. The schools in your own state may be good and the teachers may be well compensated. And they may be in my own state of Massachusetts. But we are our brother's keeper. This is not 50 separate states. This is a national problem to make sure that whatever talent and ability any young man or woman may have, that they have a chance to develop it in good schools with competent and well compensated teachers. There are going to be twice as many students applying for college in 1970 in this and other states as do today. And therefore I think that it is, as well as a state responsibility, it is a federal responsibility. Kennedy leads the fight for federal aid to education. Without federal control. Vote for John F. Kennedy.
