EDUCATORS DISCUSS
NATIONAL ECONOMICS

National economics was discussed in
most of the educational meetings allied
with the National Education Associa-
tion's Department of Superintendent
Convention here yesterday.
Economic insecurity is 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 contended that system
Of economic life which has tended to
make the element of insecurity increas-
ingly prominent has been developed
during the past $50 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 hand in this
process"
DR.. Harold F. Clark, professor of edu-
cation at Teachers College, Columbia
University, contended that equal eco
nomic opportunity does not exist in the
United States and I'VE 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 equality or
even equal opportunity is desirable, but
asserted that either we should take
drastic steps to bring it about or else
We should change our American theory

nents Of such schools, with more en-
phasis being placed on the extra-cur-
ricular activities than on any other
major feature Of organization;
2. The typical junior high school or
ganiZation compared "favorably" with
that in corresponding grades in the old
type schools, with a superior guidance
program provided in the ninth year Of
the junior high school system than in
the traditional elementary-high school
system; and
3. The junior high school has re-
suited in a general movement for reor-
ganization of schools so that changes
made in the old elementary school-high
school set-up have made the two less
dissinilar.
DR.. Raymond Walters, dean of
Swarthmore College. told the National
Society for the Study Of Education last
night at the United States Chamber of
Commerce that American liberal arts
colleges are coming out of the fog
which had settled over than a decade
ago" by introducing new programs.
The basic principles Of these pro-
grams. he said are. l, 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 thor
ough knowledge of some one field, a
large subject. or group Of related sub
iects, and 4, the student should be
tested at the close of his course in ex-
aninations covering the whole field of
his concentrated study.

EDUCATOR URGES
TRAINING TO PLAN
Prof. fitzpatrick Tells Kappa
Delta Pi Need in Chang
ing Order.

Envisioning new generation able
and disposed to efficient social thinking,
Prof William H. fitzpatrick 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 delivered before the annual
meeting of Kappa Delta Pi, an honor
fraternity in education.
The current depression, bad as it is.
has disclosed even deeper-Seated evils" !"
Prof. Fitzpatrick said ITO bring about
their correction, it is for education to
help in a Nationwide 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. Mass
production means that the many are
now tied to the operating plant. We
live corporately. The old basis Of de-
mocracy has gone. A new one must be
found.
But even worse, perhaps. is the poi
sonouS effect to our civilization of a
ruthless rivalry for profits. Our
economic system If worked to capacity
would abolish all poverty, reduce sick
ness and give economic security to all
willing to work Our system does not
work because all the parts do not work
together, but rather are used to extort
profits from the rest.
Education must awake to its new
duties. We must devise a much more
thorough-going system of popular study
of social problems. There must be more
widespread social and economic intelli-
gence or We cannot cooperate wisely
We must bring up a new generation
able and willing to criticize our social
and political institutions. new type
cient social thinking. The American
way out Is for all to work intelligently
together for the common good"

done In America, as a continuous pro-
cess, now accelerated, now retarded,
continually reyalued and continually
redirected."
The education of the future DR.. SUI
zallo continued, must be concerned with
the whole personality Of little men
and women, each and every aspect, :"
and must neglect none. 1t 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 a still further multiplication 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.
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
standard whick asks, with respect
to the next step in teaching a child,
will it conduce to the pupils greater
personal CeNeIOpHeLIE II IHe answer
is yes" he said, the step is 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 1t dis
mally for a new course in modern life,
DR.. Suzzallo declared:
But the business of the school is
to educate as far as 1t can. And it IS
conceivably better to get more educa-
ton in lopsided way than very much
less in regulariZed way"
Finally, DR.. Suzzallo saw for the fu-
ture education "a new type Of teacher
and new kind of professional educa-
ton for his preparation
Hereafter" he said, the teachers
human interest, sympathy and under
standing Will be just as important a
part of his equipment as his academic
and technical training and probably
more fundamental In the best mod
ern and democratic sense the new
type teacher must be thoroughgo-
ing humaniSt, regardless of his special
field of scholarship He will not be SO
much a teacher Of subjects as a mold
er of men and women"
SO far as the future teachers train
ing Is concerned, DR.. SuZ2allo said he
believed he need not know 1t all"
but must appreciate all.

HOWARD j. PROBE
ASKED IN HOUSE
Hall Charges Disruption of
Work by Turmoil and
Unrest.

Representative Hall of Mississippi
today introduced in the House a reso-
luton providing for an investigation
to determine the underlying cause of
the continuous state of educational tur-
mol. of unrest. at Howard University
during the last three years or more"
The resolution provides that this in
veStigation shall be made by the sub
committee of the Appropriations Com
mittee in charge of the Interior De-
partment appropriation bill. in view of
the fact that the Federal contributions
for maintenance, operation and devel-
opment of Howard University are han
died through this subcommittee.
Cites Unrest Reports.
Representative Halls resolution en-
phaSiZes that for a period of over
three years persistent reports from the
press and other sources indicate that
there exists harmful state of educa-
tional unrest and turmoil at Howard
University" 1t points out that "as an
apparent result of these continuous tu-
multuous conditions there have been
frequent designations and violent sep
arations from service of important
members of long standing of the edu-
cational personnel of the university"
says that sit has been persistently re-
ported that this continuous turmoil is
due in direct and large measure to the
arrogant and overbearing disposition of
the president of the university, and his
meager experience in executive and
educational matters, as is evidenced by
his frequent open breaks with the
trustees and other members of the uni
versity's educational and business or
ganiZation.''
Representative Hall in his resolution
further points out that according to
persistent reports. 'the president of the
university Is administering the public
funds in manner distinctly unfair to all
the university staff, except to those he
classes as his friends, and that the at
titude and position of the president of
the university in an alleged case of
pay roll padding at the institution. is
such as to place the president in the
position 81 protecting the person who
confessed such guilt"

VALUE OF MOVIES
IN SCHOOLS CITED
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
Academy of Visual instruction, at the
joint session of that body with the
Department of Superintendent OF the
National Education Association.
4 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 '1n our normal
thinking process, one never has an
isolated idea, the counterpart Of the
still picture"
Calls Newsreels Treasures"
Wholly aside from the motion pic
lures designed especially for instruc-
tional purposes, 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" p"
Aside from these preserved pictures
of actual events, DR.. McClusky cited
many of the dramatic productions in
which great epicS of history have been
studiously reincarnated as treasures
for the school room"
Recalls Hays Meet.
The first step in the cooperation Of
educators and motion picture producers
in the making of educational films, DR..
McCluSky recalled, was in 1922 when
VIII Hays, president of the Motion Pic
ture Producers and Distributors of
America, Inc, and virtual 'czar" of
aid and support in the undertaking of
supplying schools with excellent pic
lures. AS 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 recreatlonal actiW-
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 varied subject
matter, and that will increasingly be-
come the function of the teacher

INDIVIDUAL PUPILS.
Problem of Varying Needs
Studied by Visiting Su-
perintendents.

Efforts OF educators to cope with
prooIernS arising from their recognition
OF the varying needs of individual pupils
were outlined IN the meetings today
and last night Of four separate educa-
tlOnal organizations which are conduct
ing their conventions here now in con-
junction with the National Education
Associations department of superin-
tendance conclave.
The homogeneous grouping or seq
regation of pupils according to mental
ability was reported as making strides
In securing the favor of educators
throughout the country. Speaking be-
fore the American Educa yional Re-
search Association at the United
States Chamber of Commerce Building,
DR.. Fred c. Aver, professor of educa-
tlonal 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 the
homogeneous grouping, he declared
there exists some severe criticism.
Says Studies Incomplete.
1.-The majority of experimental
studies" he said. have been made
with little or no independent control of
the separate factors of subject matter,
methods and time specifically adapted
to the different needs of the @groups.
Until this is done more effectively no
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-
ton are inferior to those which come
from individual progress or to unclas-
sified activity programs
DR.. F. T. Spalding, associate pro-
fessor of education, Harvard University,
compared the merits of the Junior
high school system with the traditional
plan Of eight elementary 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

of the two systems reveals:
