More on Progressive Schools

When your correspondent of March 6,
Evelyn Huffman Viehman, started her
letter by saying, Il am sick and tired"
knew in a flash what was the matter
with her. She is suffering from a COM
paratively new type of disease peculiar
to top-level educators and some teach
ers. First outbreaks of the disease were
confined to a relatively few persons in
some teachers colleges, but it has spread :
rapidly throughout the land.
1t is, for want of better name, a sort
of mental astigmatism, characterized by
an inability on the part of it's victims to
see how poorly prepared for adulthood
are children educated under many of
the progressive theories. For instance,
they do not realize that allowing a child
to grew up in the rosy world Of self
discipline, soft standards, self-indul-
gence and rewards with little effort, is
the worst possible training for adult life.
They think they can teach child that
competition is wrong: that learning must
always be a pleasant process; that rou-
tine, sometimes monotonous tasks are
not essential to learning; that unques-
tioning obedience to authority is never
necessary-and still have him develop
into well-adjusted adult.
One of the most characteristic symp-
toms of the malady is readiness on the
part of the victim to lapse into a babble
of professional gobbledygook whenever
his pet theories are challenged. A good
example of this is the following quota
ton from a publication of the National
Education Associations research division
for January 1851:
Children today have the benefit of
emphasis on meaningful approach in
every field, and as a result there is better
comprehension, sounder understanding,
less rote learning, more thinking, and
much broader and fuller social orienta-
ton in terms Of which they come at the
processes and distractions little later
but with fuller realization of the social
uses of arithmetic and the relation of
school learning in that field to other
fields, and to life"
Your correspondent accuses critics of
progressive" methods of believing that
children nowadays enjoy progressive
schooling ipso facto, they can't be learn
ing anything" By implication she is
saying. Children nowadays are enjoying
progressive schooling; ipso facto, they
must be learning something" Truly. it
is a deadly disease. Nurse Jane.

conferences with his unit commanders

the time which would have been re-
quired by surface transportation.
Much bigger, faster and more power
full helicopters are getting into produc-
ton now. including a twin-rotor job
for the Air Force. which can transport
IL litter cases or 20 passengers in seats.
The military presently is absorbing
the total output Of half dozen estab-
lished manufacturers, all of whom are
stepping up production. The total back
log of orders is around 5000 million.
Types range from giants capable of
lifting light tanks and other equipment
to two seaters whose rotors spin with
jet power.
Times have changed since a red
faced young copter pilot tried to slip
unnoticed into seat in the ward room
of carrier in the Pacific during the
Bikini bomb tests.
He was greeted with a shout:
who dunks the admiral in the
drink?" and responding chorus-"Our
windmill mani"
The windmill man had to pour ice
water and lime juice for the whole
wardroom for two weeks. Now, he
can hold his own in any company.

Silent Treatment
John Edward Acker.

1t has dawned upon me: A way to
solve the Capital Transit radio problem
to the satisfaction of all!
Here are my proposals. They are sim
pie. business-like. and respectful of the
time-honored principles of American free
enterprise.
A modern Capital Transit radio pro-
gram sure to win friends and influence
people might run like this: This is the
XYz Company. The quality of our pants.
bras. plums, carrots, pickles and laxa-
tives is beyond the power of words. Verse
and prose alike fail us in attempting to
indicate how low they are priced. This
therefore ends the vocal part of our
message. The rest is silence. After
quarter of an hour we will be back with
another installment of our exclusive
radio hush"
Under my plan, everybody will be
happy. Capital Transit will get the
revenue it demands; the public will get
the peace it Graves; the advertisers will
double their goodwill, because I shall
forthwith reverse my strategy which, as
a reaction to forced listening, consists
in carefully identifying and systematic
ally boycotting them all. And the Cap
ital Transit Riders Association could
drop the lawsuit they brought against
PUG. which would ease the burden of
bench. bar, and bureau, thereby releas-
ing lot of badly needed talent for
national defense.
There is. admit, fly in the oint-
ment. Every Is minutes, we would have
to put I'D with a few words warning
that for the subsequent fifteen we will
go undisturbed. But the inconvenience
is minor, and it serves us right-because
we were about to forget that in this
country of free speech nothing goes with
out saying, not even silence.
Ludwig Hamburger.

hardships upon them. and the only pos

Daylight Saving, Pro and Con

I'm for Daylight Saving Time. I'm for
it because I welcome the extra hour of
warm weather daylight it affords. 1t
means that when I'm through work I
can still play game of golf, or play
tennis, or take walk in the sun-or,
when feel like it, just sit restfully bask-
ing and tanning myself in the health
giving sunlight. I'm for daylight time
mostly, suppose, because it permits me
to enjoy the outdoors and outdoor ac-
tivity. Since the summer months have
longer days in them to begin with, the
additional hour means just that much
more time for recreation and relaxation.
It's my belief that most Washington
ans feel about the same as do on this
matter. At least. never personally
heard any one express serious concern
that daylight saving is bad.
About the only ones. in fact. who are
opposed to the Daylight Saving system
are certain congressman who make
point of defeating legislation which
would make Daylight Saving regular
annual feature with respect to the warm
seasons. Every year these men go
through the same routine.
Why, should like to know. can't this
city keep itself up to the level of most
metropolitan areas? Why not have an
effective bill passed once and for all
which would grant Daylight Saving
automatically with the spring season?
I believe that such a measure would be
welcomed by the vast majority Of the
people here.
Jack Oxfeld.
1t is indeed regrettable that you should
continually agitate this undesired ques-
ton of Daylight Saving. 1t is an abom-
ination to many, but in your selfish
attitude this proposal is again brought
forth, which it was hoped, with the close
of last summer, would forever be showed
into the shades of limbo.
This proposal is most disturbing to
those who do not want it. and surely
those who oppose it have as much right
to be heard as those who do. In view
of the fact that this Nation has been
going along for long time on Standard
Time, why not let the matter rest as it
is and make the Nation one in equality
of time for all?
Daylight Saving is disturbing ele-
ment to all methods of transportation;

Freight Rute Rise

Montana's railroad commits
sion has opposed again an in
trastate freight rate increase Of
at least 8 per cent claiming
that it could "Well endanger

Montana industries.
In a brief filed with the In

commissioners told the ICC it

The railroads are attempting
to invoke a special section of
federal law which permits
bringing interstate rates up to
the Interstate level when dis
