Historical Association
Study Defers Action on
Public School Issue

The controversial issue of
whether Americas public schools
have become northumberland and
anti-democratic" did not come up
for a showdown fight during the
business session of the 9th an
nual meeting of the American
Historical Association late yester-
day.
The question. which swiftly be-
came highlight of the conven-
ton, was sidestepped for further
study by committee, which is to
report back next year when the
group meets in Chicago. This
was decided on recommendation
by the council on grounds that
the four-page resolution pre-
sented by group of educators,
headed by DR.. Arthur E. Bestor,
Jr., OF the University of Illinois,
was premature.
Consultations Planned.
1t also was decided, in connec-
ton with the matter, that the
council will consult with other
learned societies and professional
educators, as we'll as carefully ex-
anime its own policy.
During Sundays session in the
Mayf1ower Hotel. DR.. Bestor had
stated that the association lis
alarmed at the growth of
antl-1ntellectual. conceptions of
education among important groups
OF school administrators and edu-
cational theorists"
Some conceptions" he said,
have led, in many instances, to
public-school curricula in which
intellectual training has been
pushed into the background, to
teacher certification laws and rul-
lngs that dangerously under
emphasize training in the subjects
to be taught, and to pronounce
ments to the effect that the intel
lectual criteria employed by
scholars and scientists are inappli-
cable to the public schools"
He called for the introduction
OF a permanent commission on
scientists and scholars to further
sound ideas in education.
Plan Satisfies Bestor.
During yesterdays session. DR..
Bestor, following an unsuccessful
parliamentary by-play to intro
duce the resolution at once, said
he was satisfied with the councils
decision to, study the matter fur
ther.
II am fully satisfied that their
action supports the end I had in
view," he told the group.
The motion aimed at getting an
immediate expression of opinion
was made by DR.. Manoel Cardozo.
associate professor of history at
Catholic University. 1t was Sec
onded, but the counsel of those
who then spoke in favor of the
delay prevailed.
