STATEMENT OF OPINION* Group planning fosters wholesome human relations by making all members of a group feel that they 'belong,' that they have something to contribute. Those who feel that they are valuable in the work of the entire group lose their feelings of insecurity and hence are not suspicious of others and on the defensive--traits which lead to conflict and unrest. * By Earl J. McGrath, U. S. Commissioner of Education, Federal Security Agency, Washington, D. C. which appeared in The Staff Reporter, Board of Education, Wilmington, Delaware, April 14, 1949
