Cannot Judge Own,
George V. Allen Says

United Nations cultural repre-
sentatives today agreed there
should be an international group
to pass on the accuracy of text
books.
A recommendation to that effect
was approved by the United Ma
tions Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organizations in session

judgment on the fairness and &C
curacy of their own textbooks.

ings-dealing with priority points
for commission action during 1850
were given at the morning ses-
sion. UNESCO will end its two

cipal that every country sits in
judgment Of its own books and
teaching materials" Mr.. Allen
stressed, 1T will become a milk
and-Water peace organization. 1t
will never enjoy a vital growth"
U. S. Will Accept Criticism.
He pointed out that the inter-
national committee has the power
to report back to UNESCO If text
books of certain nations are ag-
gressive. "We are perfectly will
ing to let other people look at our
books and tell us where we are
wrong" Mr.. Allen emphasized.
The present easy going"
UNESCO trend was stressed in the
report of the section on Improve
ment of Teaching Materials.

tary of the National Education

The trend regarding textbooks

Board Should Provide
Adequate Facilities For
West Side Schools

The Board of Education held
another meeting last Thursday.
The board once more ignored the
questions Of alternating the criti-
cal classroom shortage and the
dilapidated buildings which exist
on the west side. This is a situa-
ton which apparently most
people who were concerned at one
time have decided to forget.
Willard and Garfield, the two
ancient sub-standard structures
are the focus of the trouble. The
frigid days of winter make the
age and general rundown con-
dition Of these buildings stand
out like a sore thumb. Last win
ter the gripes must have been sa
great that the school board felt
obliged to at least talk about
what should be done. The board
took under advisement some re-
commentators of the superinten-
dent of schools. These recon-
mendations were compromised in
that they fell far short of the
needs. They simply did not con-
stitute a sensible solution.
The school board was on the
verge of acting when a west side
committee interviewed with strong
objections to the unrealistic ap-
proach. The board then postpon-

There probably has been no ma

to the development Of the Missis-

system of locks and dams on the

realized that when the government
spent approximately $l50.000, 1000 on
the canalization of the Mississippi
It made possible the utilization OF
a magnificent river which now is
contributing to a central states
prosperity that seems to have no
