Study the editorial cartoon by Bill Mauldin. A dilapidated schoolhouse sits in darkness. Pieces of the schoolhouse are strewn about and the "public school" sign is hanging crookedly. How does the atmosphere around the school contribute to the effectiveness of the cartoon's message? The disarray in front shows that public schools have suffered harsh weather damages. The abandoned schoolhouse with an eerie background dramatizes the loss of public schools. The element of disrepair shows readers that this schoolhouse was not built well. The haunted theme makes the reader believe that public schools are ghostly places.

The abandoned schoolhouse with an eerie background dramatizes the loss of public schools.

Explanation:

The cartoon your question refers to is attached.

The cartoon features a public school completely destroyed and impossible to use. The environment around the school is empty, frosted with stules and pieces of the destroyed school. All this conveys a feeling that the public school is being lost, ignored and a victim of neglect. This all represents the lack of responsibility for education and the waste of public money used in the construction of the school.

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.
