Portrait of Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam, the dignified old
gentleman with we'll trimmed
beard and hair, whose noble
face offsets his loud, fancy
dress costume, is unsatisfactory
as a symbol of the United
States, to the Southtown Econ
omist. This Chicago community
newspaper has recently an
nounced a national contest for
a new portrait of Uncle Sam.
with $4,000 to be awarded in
Is prizes.
The contest, open to all artists
in the continental United States.
was inspired by an essay in the
Kiwanis Magazine, written by
Paul Harvey, ABC news analyst.
His concept of Uncle Sam has
many appealing features. and
he wants the artists to paint
a man so true to these specifica-
tions that his heirs of today's
generation will see him as
he is :. a virile, vigorous, ver-
Satile, wonderful guy"
Each contestant must obtain
an official entry card from the
Contest Editor, SouthtoWn
Economist, 728 West Sixty fifth
street, Chicago 81. February %
next is the closing date for
paintings.
Whatever the outcome of the
contest, I suspect that the
time-honored cartoon symbol
we know, will continue to rep
resent the Nation, just as the
inappropriate predatory Amer
ican eagle is still the national
bird, Santa Claus continues to
travel by reindeer-dra sled in
an age of jet planes and other
familiar figures, some beloved,
some hated, lead apparently
immortal lives.

The assignment accepted by
DR.. Hollis and Miss Taylor to
study social work education in
the United States was a chal-
lenge that must have required
courage and fortitude as we'll as
skill. The impetus for the study
was derived from need to de-
fine more clearly the objectiveS
and content of social work edu-
cation on the graduate and
undergraduate levels as the
paucity of resources available
for training personnel in grad
uate schools had led to con-
fiicting opinions regarding the
amount of responsibility which
should be assumed by colleges
for professional training.
OF the 10000 to 100000 social
work positions classified by the
1850 Federal Census. two-thirds
were filled by persons with no
graduate professional educa-
ton. Previously. the recogni-
ton Of these problems had led
to the formation of the Ma
tional Council on Social Work
Education in 1916. 1t was this
Council which sponsored the
study by means of a grant from
the Carnegie Corporation, and
which concluded that the pur-
poses of the study could best be
fulfilled by obtaining the serv-
ices of an expert in education
from outside the field OF social
work.
Ernest v. Hollis, chief Of col
lege administration Once OF
Education, Federal Security
Agency, was selected to direct
the study, and a social work
practitioner and educator, Alice
L. Taylor, training consultant.
Bureau OF Public Assistance,
Federal Security Agency, was
chosen by him to serve as as
sistant director
Basic Principles.
One important objective OF
the study was to build frame
work of principles within which
existing programs of social work
education might be examined.
The study team held indi-
vidual and group consultations
with social work educators.
practitioners, interested lay
men, college and university
presidents, deans. professors and
educators in Government and
voluntary associations, and the
report reflects the thoughtful
views Of these leaders in social
work and in education. The
authors, however, do not merely
report the views Of these people,
but rather utilize them in
evaluating social work educa-
tion according to tested prin-
ciples.
After presenting an evaluation
of social work education, its
status, scope and probable ex-
panded role in the future, DR..
Hollis and Miss Taylor under
take to chart a course for social
work education by examining
the roles of undergraduate col
leges in social work education,
of graduate professional educa-
ton in social work, the organ
ization and administration of
schools of social work, the edu-
cational responsibilities of social
work organizations and accred-
itation in the field of social work
education. In this examination
the authors challenge some of
the current practices, specific
ally, the way in which field
work is used, and they confirm
other educational trends, such
as the utilization of basic cur
riculum for all social workers.

Mr.. Bundy concludes from the
record he has compiled that
"the most striking single phe-

tenure as Secretary of State
may be the extraordinary dis
parity between what he had ac-
complished and the opinion in
which he had been held by a

The Division of Graphic Arts,
United States National Museum,
is currently showing a collec-
ton Of prints by Sid Gotcliffe,
to remain through next Sunday.
The "a items include linoleum
cuts, woodcuts, color Autographs
and serigraphs, all of which
mirror the artists kaleidoscope
background.
Born in England, he spent
his boyhood in Wales. then
emigrated with his family to the
United States. He attended
public school for a while, but
economic necessity made him,
as he said, quit school early
to work" He has been a sea-
man. dock builder and house
painter, and now does occasional
carpentry and house painting to
put the stew in the pot" for
his family. Although mainly
self-taught as an artist. he has
constantly studied the works of
old and modern masters by visit
ing art galleries.
Jacob Kainen, director Of the
Division of Graphic Arts, said:
'Mr. Gotcliffe's work reflects
his background as an itinerant
laborer. His prints are concerned
with those who live in tene-
ments and cold water fats; with
seamen. fishermen and water
front workers. and with oc-
casional wistful glimpses of the
countryside. His style is rude
but expressive. and eminently
communicative of the life he
describes"
He is also a painter. and has
exhibited widely in exhibitions
in both media.
AS might be expected from
his meager formal training. his
work is very uneven in quality.
Several seem vague and form
less. But when his prints are
successful, they are decidedly
good. The color lithograph.
Fish Pier" is bright and vigor-
Gus, his serigraph. Central
Park" excellent, his Skyline"
gay and animated. Besides the
grim social comment in some of
his prints, such as "One Third
of a Nation" there is humor
and caricature in others. 1t is
definitely meaty show.

Pearl Buck Incident
Brings Criticism Of
Corning by Parents

School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
was criticized for his part in the
Pearl S. Buck incident by a group
of Cardozo High School parents
meeting at the school last night.
The parents. called to the spe-
cial meeting by Mrs. Hannah Har-
ris, Cardozo Parent Teacher AS
sociation president, devoted their
discussion to DR.. Corning's can
collation. of a speech the noted
writer had been asked to deliver
at the last Cardozo commence
ment and his subsequent repri-
mand of Cardozo faculty men,
berS.
DR.. Corning Cancelled Miss
Bucks speech because she had
not been approved by his office
before being invited. He based
the action on the fact that her
name appeared in the files of the
House Un-American Activities
Committee.
Subsequently, the ruling was
changed SO that references to a
person in the files would be evalu-
ated by school officials in consid-
ering that persons approval as a
school speaker. Previously, mere
appearance of the persons name
in the files, no matter what the
reference, was cause for a ban.
The parents voted to express
confidence to Robert N. Mattingly
Cardozo principal; Miss Jennie E.
Mustapha, assistant principal, and
a number of faculty members who
have been reprinanded by DR..
Corning for their part in the in
cident.
The parents voted to form a
committee to go before the Board
of Education at its next meeting,
to ask that DR.. Corning apologize
publicity to Mr.. Mattingly, Miss
MuStapha and other faculty men,
bers for his reprimand; to ask
personnel records of those con-
cerned not be affected by the Incl
dent and make it, clear to the
board that teachers must have the
right to protest school regulations
without fear of retaliation from
DR.. Corning.

application.
To continue such operations

It further contended that since
the bus routes will be non-existent
when the present permits expire,
the PSC no longer will have ju-

The company also argued that
the PSC, in ordering continual
tion of all eight lines until final
settlement, was going beyond its
authority. 1t has no right to or
der operation of parts of five lines
extending into the District, it
said.
The question of public con-

in some types of operation, cannot
be raised in this case of aban-
doning lines by refusing to renew
