ADVICE FOR THE EXPERTS
BY p. g. James Fleming

a New York Times correspondent recently put his fin
ger on one Of the problems facing the United States as ~
carries American 9know-howa osthe world. It is the pro
blern of meeting other peoples and counties where they hap
ben to Be III their cultural and economic. development. It
IS the problem Of knowing that different situations call for
varying solutions and for varying methods Of approach.
Quite often, American technicans sent to small countries
have drawn blueprints and made plans that only fit a large
country; sometimes, they have started operations in poor
countries which operations could be successful only IN wealthy
areas; sometimes, they have forgotten that the plans Tor 2
country with diversified natural resources cannot be st
perimposed on country which has no major natural
resources.
Most modern-day Americans are just not good, if seems,
at APPLYING their technical skill to modest operations. We
have forgotten how to improyise, to make bricks without
straw. We are inclined to become helpless # we do not find
everywhere all the latest tools, gadgets, gimmicks and CON
veniences. We forget that most of the people OF the world
are living without benefit Of tools Of the highest precision
without automatic refrigeratorss flush toilets, running hot and
cold water. and television. If we are to help these peoples to
build on what they have, we must start with what they have
and where we find them,
The New York Times writer was using Haiti as an ex-
ample, He wrote npart:

Conrad Spills
Milford, 1870

On November 5th, the Milford
"Bucs" travelled upstate to meet
the Conrad Redskins. The grid
iron was covered with a mixture
of snow and mud, in which both
teams flOundered Conrad scored in
the second and third quarters to
come out on top.
Early in the second quarter Ford
scampered for 80 yards and the
first score of the game after one
of COnrad's tOuchdOwns had been
called back in the first frame Co
vert intercepted a Milford pass on
the "Bucs" 20-yard line and went
over for the score. Felix made the
conversion and the score stood at
1870 for the rest Of the game.
The condition of the field pre-
vented both teams from doing their
best. There is much speculation as
to how the score would have been
if the ground were dry. The snow
that fell on Friday and Saturday,
November. 5th and 9Th, was of the
right texture to be called snow and
yet wet enough to endanger the
welfare of anyone walking over it..
By the end of the game the field
was charmed into a muddy frOth.
Milford made a few sizeable gains
but their Offense was mostly Cruel
ing line play, but Jared better as
they cOnsecutivly made three and
four yard gains to exc out the first
downs.

Administrative Voice

Discipline is the self-directiOn of
social behavior. Discipline in
school grows out of an understand
ing of the belief and tradition of
school 1t is good when students
and teachers agree to abide by the
policies of the school because they
are right.
Every year there is a relaxation
of past standards. It takes several
weeks to orient new students 10 the
traditions of this school Each new
student brings with him a set Of
rules, traditions, aud policies which
he observed in the school from
which he came. Tn CifeIenct must
be resolved.
During the first few weeks nf
scnoOl there are no problems OF
discipline. Everyone is tCV busy
discussing su,nmee experiences,
getting acquainted with the new
courses. adjusting to new teachers,
getting started in new activities,
and organizing for the new school
year.
After the school program settles
down to a routine, the problems
that have gone unsOlved develop
into discipline problems. These
problems result from the natural
friction between people trying 70
work together.
Discipline has been thought of
as rule by force, and it has also
been thought Of as rule by under
standing.
Rule by force requires set of
carefully worded rules, a 'gr1up Of
people to catch persons breaking
the rules, provisions for trials, and
defnite puniShments. Evasion of
the rules becomes the chief activi-
ty of the students. Getting caught
break ng the rules is the only re-
gret pupil suffers.
Rule by understanding requires
general policies of behavior, the
right of everyone to correct people
who co not observe the policies,
provisions for conferences when
people do not follow policies, and
an adjustment period in which
ViOlatOrs are given an opportunity
to change their behavior patterns
1t has been the policy of the
school to rule by understanding.
Violations of policy are. recorded
on social adjustment forms. Each
violation is a subject for adjust
ment. We spend our time trying
to get pupils to behave correctly
rather than punish them for
breaking rules.
The process of adjusting behavior
is a long and tdiOus one but far
more Tewarding than any other.
When the record shows gradual ad-
justment to correct social behavior,
the disciplinarian knows that his
battle is being won.

A QUOTE TO NOTE

LEO NJ. CIIERNE, distinguished

said on. June 1858: 81 should
have thought that the shrinking
of the world, the emergence of
America from its previous insuiari-
ty, the sharp increase in foreign
language fans. the presence of the
UN on U. S. soil, the experiences
of many servicemen overseas,
would have all increased the in
terest in foreign language study
It is so obvious that a know
ledge Of foreign languages is so
much more useful and necessary
today than it has ever been in
Oul history From the most sclhth,
individual level. satisfaction and

Man Gets Life Term
In Killing Of Soldier
By the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 10
Marcus Roy Nixon, the North
Carolinian convicted of killing
a Fort Meade soldier in fight
over an Odenton waitress, was
sentenced to life Imprisonment
today.
Circuit Court Judge Benjamin
Michaelson, who rejected a plea
for a new trial last week, i'm
posed the sentence. A jury had
recommended against hanging.
Nixon, 33, a former resident
of Edenton, N. c., was convicted
of shooting Corpl. Donald Las
sitter, 20, of Conway, N. c., last
month after the two had argued
over the waitress behind a res
taurant outside Fort Meade.
Nixon said he had a .22-cali-
ber pistol because he was carry
ing 5000 he received when he
was discharged from the Army
at Fort Bragg, N. C. He was on
his way to New Jersey, but
stopped off to see the waitress,
Mrs. Grace Hicks, %.
He and the red-haired waitress
had gone together for six months
until he was sent overseas in
1852. Recently she had dated
LaSSiter.
