Excerpt from Interim Civil Defense Instructions for Schools and Colleges The United States is no longer free from danger of a devastating attack. The air-atomic age has changed our way of life which calls for a new way of planning, living, and cooperating. Civil defense is protection against disaster for each person, his community, and his nation. But it is more than that. It is a new concept of citizenship. It means self-discipline in the interest of the common welfare. It calls for universal education, devoted to self-preservation and mutual safety and welfare. In this the educator sees a new citizenship, a new com munity life, a new realization of democracy for our time. In order to be effective, the program of civil defense must be coordinated throughout the nation. As part of this unified plan, the civil defense program of any school or college must be consistent with over - all plans. It is the responsibility of the school administrator 'to build his program as part of the local civil defense plan.
