Pleads for Culture. Referring pointedly to the coming hearings on the 1833 in the District, Miss Hale said ve hope this program may have an ence upon those pending issues in eat Capital City so that, from v(hl\‘ of all 1nspiration in our life, sh. g0 out strong arguments for culture. for the spiritual values of life and for those things ‘which give the peace of God that knows no understanding, and through hich alon we in this day find the solution of greatest civic problems Miss Hales' address was followed by speeches by Lorado Taft. famous sculp- tor of Chicago, whose subject was “Art in Education,” and John H. Finley, as- sociate editor of the New York Times, on “Literature in Education.” Walter Damrosch, orchestra conductor, Wwho Was to have spoken on music in educa- tion, was ill and his lecture was read by his understudy. In his address, Dr. Weaver contended that the unemployed man actually is a sick man. “That man who, because of economic changes or because of mergers or poor markets, or more commonly because of his own personal shortcomings, finds himself _continuously out of employ ment,”. Dr. Weaver declared, “is an ill man, He is suffering from a disease which, if unchecked, will destroy his social, cultural and economic worth to civiligation just as surely as a malignant disease will destroy his bedy. In such an emergency it is the obligation of sociely to diagnose this disease, pre- scribé the remedy and place the man on a pay roll as quickly as possible. Outlines Four Steps. An educational program which un- dertakes to rehabilitate the unemployed man must contain four steps, Dr. Wea- ver continued — diagnosis, training, placement and follow-up. Diagnosis, he said, is based on the assumption that behind each case of chronic unemployment there is a defi- nite and_discoverable reason. Training is carried on in separate classes limited to unemployed men. These classes would meet at the convenience of the men, usually in the evening, so the men may have their days free for the daily quest of work. Placement, de- scribed by Dr. Weaver as perhaps the most important of all the steps, in- volves the employment by the school ystem of a full-time co-ordinator to ieep in constant touch with the indus- tries of the city so that work demands may be met with greater facility. The follow-up step, the Williamsport educator explained, is designed to give the newly placed man an adequate op- portunity to demonstrate his worth. The co-ordinator, who interviews the foreman, seeks to arouse interest of the superiors in the employed men. Tribute Paid Jefferson. In the fifth general session last night at Constitution Hall, the super- intendents regarded the past, present and future American education. Dr. Francis G. Blair, State superin- tendent of public instruction in Ili- nois, who looked back to the infancy of education on this continent, paid tribute to Thomas Jefferson as the one man “who saw the matter more clearly and acted more directly and more ef- fectively to bring about the establish- ment of this wide-flung system of free schools than any other one man.” Dr. Blair reviewed Jefferson's efforts on behalf of education in the colonies, de- picting how that patriot foresaw & truly national education for the building of citizens who were, in fact, apparent to the American seat ment. g himself to Jeflerson's that education should be pro- ed y boy and girl” Blair said that present-day educators might well question education is that broadly app! “We found Blair asserted, “a scrap heap of humanity accumulating man progr They belonged category and the rred. what ob- and the sev- unfortunate the plind and f and dumb, most of our trying to e ducation of the adult the adult deaf.

STRIKE OF AVIATORS THREATENS TO SPREAD ‘West Coast Pilots Said to Be Ready to Join Walk-Out at Chicago. Aviation's first major labor dispute, which already has resulted in the “lock- ing out” of 21 pilots, threatens to spread. Officials of the Air Line Pilots’ As- sociation, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, last night received t their offices here a telegram signed by members of the executive council at Los Angeles, stating that 25 Century Pacific pilots are ready to walk out n support of the striking fiyers. The West Coast pilots are unanimous in their decision to back up their Mid- western comrades, it was stated in the | telegram. _Since the Chicago lockout, the line affected has hired a number of | strike-breaking pilots, but has been un- | able to reopen all its Toutes. | | | lear —_——— done in America, as a continuous pro- ‘ cess, now accelerated, now retarded, continually revalued and continually | redirectes The education of the future, Dr. Suz- zallo continued, must be concerned with | the whole personality of “little men | and women, each and every aspect” and must neglect none. It is not going | to retreat to a narrower curriculum, | because_he said, the enriched curricu- lum is here to stay. The question of the enriched curriculum, however, he warned, should not imply that there | will be & still further multipiication of | studies. O the contrary, he explained, ! the curriculum with a wider reach over | contemporary civilization will consist of fewer and more inclusive units of | study. | Flexible Standard Required. i The new educational program, Dr Suzzalo contended. must be based on recognition of individual differences of human beings. In adjustments to in- | dividual differences, a flexible standard must be set up, and that, he said, is | a standard whick asks, with respect to the next step in teaching & child, “will it conduce to the pupil's greater personal development?” If the answer is “yes,” he said, the step 1s right, and if it is "no,” the reverse is true. Admitting that this philosophy may produce as typical situation the drop- ping of a study of ancient life by a boy who may have failed in it dis- mally for a new course in modern life, Dr. Suzzallo declared: “But the business of the school is to educate as far as it can. And it is conceivably better to get more educa- tion in lopsided way than very much less in a regularized way.” Finally, Dr. Suzzallo saw for the fu- ture education “a new type of teacher and a new kind of professional educa- tion for his preparation. “Hereafter,” he said, “the teacher’s human interest, sympathy and under- standing will be just as important s part of his equipment as his academi~ and technical training, and probably more fundamental In' the best mod- ern and democratic sense. the new type teacher must be a thoroughgo- ing humanist, of his special field of scholars| He will not be so much a teacher of subjects as & mold- | er of men and women.” So far as the future teacher's train- 15 concerned, Suzzallo he need not “know It all” appreciate all. Ten-Year Progress in Edu- cational Films Traced by N. E. A. Speaker. Ten years of progress in the develop- ment of educational motion pictures was traced and recommendations made for the future instructional cinemas in a report made today by Dr. F. Dean McClusky, president of the National demy of Visual Instructicn, at the oint session of that body with the epartment of Superintendence of the National Education Association One of the chief values of motion pictures in education, Dr. McClusky suggested in his 120-page report, is the fact that the films are, in effect, a counterpart of thought. Motion, he explained, makes it possible to relate | one idea to another and “in our normal thinking process, one never has an isolated idea, the counterpart of the still nicture.” Calls Newsreels “Treasures. Wholly aside from the motion pic tures designed especially for instruc- tional purposcs, Dr. McClusky con- tended that many current films pro- | duced for entertainment have unsur- passed educational value, | “Of all the source material to be| drawn on,” he said, “none appeals | more to the imagination than those actual recordings of human activity which the newsreel companies have been gathering from the four corners of the world over a period of 30 years.” Asice from these preserved pictures actual events, Dr. McClusky cited ny of the dramatic productions in which great epics of history have been udiously reincarnated as ‘“treasures of for the school room.” | Recalls Hays' Meet. | The first step in the co-operation of educators and motion picture producers | in the making of educational films, Dr. McClusky recalled, was in 1922 when ‘Will Hays, president of the Motion Pic- ture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., and virtual “czar” of the industry, pledged his industry to aid and support in the undertaking of supplying schools with excellent pic- tures. As a result of that meeting many forward steps were taken with the result that today the major film | producing companies are turning out acceptable educational films. .These in- clude pictures giving instruction in transportation, communication, national resources of the United States, develop- ment of agriculture, industrial de- | velopment, governmental problems and relations, desirable recreational activi- ties and the independence of modern life. “Modern education,” Dr. McClusky declared, “has become very complex. It is the fashion to criticize its methods | and practices. ‘Terrific pressure is being brought to bear on educators to train children in all phases of modern life. Present methods will not suffice | for that accomplishment. Only through | the greater efficiency of visual aids can the curriculum be expanded to accom- | plish the desired goal. The vital need | will be integration of the yaried subject matter, and that will increasingly be- come the function of the teacher. | EDUCATORS DISCUSS NATIONAL ECONOMICS National economics was discussed in most of the educational meetings allied | with the National Education Associa- | tion's Department of Superintendence | Convention here yesterda: ( “Economic insecurity i5 becoming the major problem of our times,” Dr. Lewis | L. Lorwin of the Brookings Institution told members of the department of supervisors and teachers of home | economics in Service Hall, District of | Columbia Chapter, American Red Cross. | Dr. Lorwin ccntended that a system | of economic life which has tended to make the element of insecurity increas- ingly prominent has been developed | during the past 150 years. | “If we are to reverse the present | system of economic insecurity in the direction of security.” he said, “we must apply the principle of long-range planning by the group for the common ends. As educators, we are called upon in a special way to take a hand in this process.” | Dr. Harcld P. Clark, professor of edu- cation at Teachers College, Columbia University, contended that equal eco- nomic opportunity does not exist in the United States and “we perhaps can | never reach equality under a system of private capitalism.” Speaking at the same meeting, Dr. Clark declared that he was not claiming that cquality or even equal opportunity is desirable, but asserted that “either we should take drastic steps to bring it about or e we should change our American theory STAR, W | economic system if worked to capacity HINGTON, \.E.A.Group Hea MILWAUKEE MAN BEING ELECTED TODAY.

EDUCATOR URGES TRAINING TO PLAN Prof. Kilpatrick Tells Kappa Delta Pi Need in Chang- ing Order. e In Envisioning & new generation able and disposed to efficlent social thinking, Prof. William H. Kiipatrick of Teachers' College, Columbia University, last night outlined the duty of the professional educator in meeting economic depres- sion and a changed social order. His address was delivercd before the annual meeting of Kappa Delta Pi, an honor fraternity in education “The current depression, bad as it is, has disclosed even deepe: ¢ Prof. Kilpatrick said. “To bring about their correction, it is for education to help in a Nation-wide program of social planning if our economic and social situation is to be properly cared for. “Individual action, once possible when any one could ‘go West,' is now re- stricted to the few at the top.

The junior high school has re- sulted in a general movement for reor- ganization of schools so that changes made in the old elementary school-high scheol set-up have made the two less dissimilar. Dr. Raymond Walters, dean of Swarthmore College, told the National Society for the Study of Education last Efforts of educators to cope With | problems arising from their recognition of the varying needs of individual pupils were outlined in the meetings today and last night of four separate educa- tional organizations which are conduct- ing their conventions here now in con- junction with the National Edueation Association’s department of superin- tendance conclave ‘The homogeneous grouping or seg- regation of pupils according to mental ability was Teported as making strides in securing the favor of. educators throughout the country. Speaking be- fore the American Educe jonal Re- search Association at the United States Chamber of Commerce Building, Dr. Pred C. Ayer, professor of educa- tional administration at the University of Texas, declared. however, that it is too early to draw any final conclusions on the value of this practice. While the results of experimental research are “somewhat favorable” toward tee | homogeneous grouping, he declared there exists some severe criticism. ’ Says Studies Incomplete. majority he said, “The studies,” of “have been made with little or no independent control of | the separate factors of subject matter, methods and time specifically gdapted to the different needs of thedgroups. Until this is done more effectively ne just_verdict can be rendered concerning ability grouping and no proper answer can be made to those who assert that the results of homogeneous classifica- tion are inferior to those which come from ‘individual progress’ or to unclas- sified ‘activity programs. " Dr. F. T. Spalding, associate pro- fessor of education, Harvagd University, compared the merits of the junior high school system with the traditional plan of eight clementary grades and four high school grades, in an address to the N. E. A. department of secondary school principals, in session at the Wardman Park Hotel. Dr. Spaulding declared that a study of large numbers of the two systems reveals: Compares Systems, 1.

The basic principles of these pro. grams, he said, are, 1, the college stu- dent should learn to educate himself; 2, the student should receive stimulus from his instructors, but he must have ample time to himself to accomplish his self-education; 3, the objective for the college student should be a thor- | ough knowledge of some one fleld, a large subject, or group of related sub- jects, and 4, the student should be | tested at the close of his course in ex- aminations covering the whole field of — wl hlcl: d MN? “hdeg— manner in wl an ‘what of fairness, prudence and economy, the E:esldem. and trustees of the university ve administered and expended the public funds of the University, and the exact details of the case of alleged pay- HOWARD U.
