ENGLISH TEACHING
STANDARDS HIT.
Modernization Drive Fea-
lures Sessions of National
Council Here.

A drive for modernization of the
teaching of English marked the gen.
eraI session and series of luncheon
meetings of the National Council of
teachers of English at the Mayflower
Hotel today.
Most vigorous, perhaps. of the at
tacks upon present teaching standards
was that by DR.. A. H. Townsend of
New York University, who charged
the average professor of English is a
generation or two behind his students
in the focus of his interests" In sub
sanitation, Dr. Townsend said the
average publication date of the lead
ing 100 books on college reading lists
Is l840 while the corresponding average
of a list of favorites submitted by the
students is 1890
The average college list of recon-
mended reading, however" DR.. Town
send continued, lis radically modern
in comparison to the program of
courses in literature offered by the
average English department. The
average date of such courses is 1878.
leaving the focus Of PROFESSIONAL inter-
ests 251 years remote from that of
undergraduate literary preference"
Current Teaching Hit.
A similar attack upon current teach
ing was voiced by Alfred S. Dashiell,
editor of Scribner's Magazine.
1t is fallaciouS idea that the sole
business of the English course of
study is to acquaint students with
selected masterpieces of the literary
heritage of the race" Mr.. Dashiell
said. Let them first discover what
sort of world they have inherited be-
fore being forced to investigate the
literary heritage of the past"
William Chenery, editor of Golfers,
speaking on public tastes as reflected
in magazine requirements, declared
most of the Objectionable material
published in magazines is a product
of lazy editing or careless writing. At
the same time, he continued, stand
ards change, and the conversation and
fiction of today tolerates things un-
thought of 20 years ago.
Radio Sponsorship.
At a group meeting considering the
relation OF radio TO education, DR..
Tracy F. Tyler. secretary of the Ma
tional Committee on Radio Education,
assailed commercial sponsorship of
radio facilities Instead. he proposed
a Federal and State chain of broad
casting stations, operating as yard
stick similar to that of the T. V. A.
in the public utility field"
