LIMERICK, (AP)—Scott McLeod, U. S. Ambassador to Ireland, advised the Irish yesterday to stay in Ireland instead of emigrating to the United States.
"Ireland has a great future," he said in an informal talk to Irish school children, "if the energies of citizens are directed to improving Ireland, instead of other countries, like the United States through emigration."
The former State Department Security Chief told the parents they should be glad their children were being educated in Ireland, "away from the so-called 'pro- gressive' education at present sweeping America, where children are taught to be poised and well-adjusted, but are not taught to write or spell properly."
