COLLEGE PARK, Md.-The United
States is ITO years old, but as the Uni
versity of Maryland sees 1t, the Nation
has not yet donned long pants.
Getting the country, nationally and
internationally into grown-up attire is
the job of its colleges and universities.
says DR.. Harry Clifton Byrd, president
of the Maryland school.
This realization, DR.. Byrd says, is the
motive behind Maryland's new Amer
ican civilization" curriculum to give its
graduates more than cursory knowl-
edge of the Nation and its culture.
Marylands educator is not setting up
the university as concentration camp
for that culture, however Both the
immediate and ultimate objectives of
the program, effective in September, ex-
tend far beyond the Maryland campus
Americanizing Students
Full Americanization of the student
will be the first step.
The immediate objective as outlined
by DR.. Byrd is to give Marylanders a
fuller understanding and appreciation
of our own national background and the
evolution OF our present philosophy of
life"
Ultimately he says, an effective Job
In Maryland would form pattern that
other States may follow and which, in
little while should make the Amer
ican people as whole more conscious
of the advantages the American way of
life has given them"
Three Major Projects
DR.. Byrd divides the program into
three projects:
A complete major course leading to a
doctorate in American civilization.
Compulsory courses in American his
tory, government and literature
Organization of public forums to
spread knowledge of the background of
American life.
The forums, organized by State and
county lay committees, would be con-

other experiment in educational ma
larkey." DR.. Byrd submits need as argu-
ment No. /.
I'VE have" he says, attempted to
give our students training that could
make them excellent engineers, agricul-
turists, lawyers and scientists, but We
have assumed that they would, in some
mysterious way, acquire reasonable
knowledge Of the values of our own
national life.
We have gone too far away from the
study of our own people and their back
grounds. Many people in other nations
know more about American history and
the workings on our Government and
economic systems than many supposedly
educated Americans.
Other nations are doing their utmost
to subsidize and propagandize the best
they have for American consumption.
How can we as nation interpret what
We have to other nations without an
understanding Of ourselves?"
How will the program achieve its
purpose?
Byrd, whose administration is aimed
at keeping the ivy Of tradition from
choking his institution, says doctors,
teachers and other trained graduates.
regardless of occupation. will be better
citizens and exert a wide influence on
those not directly exposed to the pro-
gram.
The public forums will reach the adult
population which in turn should bring
pressure upon high schools to increase
emphasis upon American civilization in
their curricula, he adds

Bv Sarah Finn.

Sally is two years old. A few months
ago she stomped her foot when asked
to eat turnips, tossed her yellow braids
when asked to drink milk pouted when
told to pick up her toys, whined when
naptime came.
But what happened the other day is
typical of Sally now.
1t was lunchtime.
Sally swallowed the last bite of tur-
nips on her plate and turned her glass
up to let the last drop of milk slide
down. Then, biting her tongue in con-
centration, she picked up her glass and
plate, carried them carefully over to the
big table and stacked them neatly on
a tray.
With proud, saucy grin, she walked
over to her "locker"-a Sally-size cubby
by the wall, took off her clothes, hung
them up and arranged her shoes neatly.
There was little difficulty with a shoe
string and a few minutes later there
was trouble getting the buttons on her
pajamas in the right holes but with
few tugs she was dressed for bed.
She took her sheet, blanket and doll
baby into the other room, arranged her
bedclothes with little help of Danny.
age A., snuggled the doll near and closed
her eyes.
A few minutes later she was asleep.
All of this is nothing unusual for
Sally now. It's what all of the children
in her nursery school do-and Sally,
too.
Daytime Mothers
Yesterday several hundred of the
teachers of children like Sally ended a
three-day Children's Services Institute
at Wilson Teachers College, where they
studied the problem of helping Sally
learn to eat and sleep and play and per-
form her duties in happy but CO.
operative way
Sally is one of the 1,500 children of
working mothers in the Metropolitan
area, who, nine or ten hours day, play
and eat and sleep in one OF the almost
so children's service centers sponsored
by the Boards of Education in the
Metropolitan area.
The centers are of two types-nursery
schools for children from 2-5, and can
teens for elementary school pupils.
The center buildings themselves indi-
cate the two most outstanding things
about the program: Whatever materials
are at hand are utilized, and the. en-
phasis is on the child.
Quarters Well Planned
Although many of the centers are in
buildings built especially for them,
others are housed in makeshift rooms.
Many are in schools, others in housing
projects, taking over one or several OF
the small apartments One is housed
in centuries-old building in AIexan-

mean that he may not make an
adequate Secretary of the Treas
ury.
Many observers will say he is
bound to be an improvement over
Mr.. Morgenthau, who not only
knows little about Treasury prob
lens but would not bring into his
organization men who did. The
hope is that Mr.. Vinson, recogniz-
ing his own limitations, will equip
himself with a really able and ex-
perienced under secretary and a
group of really capable assistant
secretaries. This would seem to be
his only chance of making good in
his new job. In any event 1t is en-
couraging to think that both Mr..
Vinson and Mr.. Byrnes will not be
shifted again in a few months.
Some degree of stability is essen
tial to efficiency and helpful to the

The Aussies advanced 5 miles in

in which gains usually were regis

wells would be found sabotaged by
the retiring Japanese. The Balik-

This brought the enemy casualties
