EDUCATION HIT

The Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement of Teaching
issued it's annual report last night,
minus a traditional blast against
collegiate football proSelyizing,
but sounded a note of warning
against a "Streamlined business of
education" that already is Turing
drum majors and tuba players with
the same bait for quarterbacks
and tackles.
Walter A. Jessup, president of
the Foundation. declared in the re-
port there is little doubt that many
potential college students are sub
jected to high-pressure methods Of
recruiting, but added I'VE may be
astonished by the fact that drum
majors and tuba players now find
themselves possessed Of special
talents with marketable value in
the college field"
Turning from its discourse on
what it considered the current
evils in the college system, the
Foundation report stated that Sc
lection of a suitable faculty and
careful and wise selection Of stu
dents were the two essentials In
insuring successful college.

Convention Here

Charges that the Administra

certainty, attacks on the undis
tributed profits tax and demands
that any future "pump-priming'
be done through PWA rather
than WPA. featured the opening
of the nineteenth annual conven
ton of the Associated General
Contractors Of America at the Will
lard Hotel this morning.
The keynote of the sentiment of
the convention, which will hold its
first general session tomorrow
was struck by Guy F.. Atkinson
widely known San Francisco con-
struction engineer, who is vice
president of the company which
built the Grand Coulee Dam.
GIVES RECESSION VIEWS
"The business recession is
largely due to two factors, gen.
eral buSineS uncertainty and
timidity because of AdminiStra-
ton policies, and the undiStrib-
uted profits tax and other
taxes" Atkinson said. "The un-
distributed profits tax and other
Federal taxes prevent a business
man from doing business and
making a profit at it. My COM
pany has only had two private
contracts in the last two years;
the rest has been government
business"
Atkinson also declared that fur
ther government spending should
be done through PWA because
there you have something to show
for it" in contrast to WPA leaf
raking projects"
