new faith, the writers of the New
Testament were at times direct
ing their efforts at two major
groups: the Jews and the Ro-
mans. The Jews are addressed in
frequent p S S ag es, sometimes
pathetically artificial, designed to
show that the events in the life
of Jesus were fulfilments of Old
Testament predictions. This effort
rested on the mistaken notion that
the early prophets were primar-
lily foretellers and that what they
foretold was specifically n d
limitedly focused on Jesus. The
Romans were courted in other
passages. Thus, Pontius Plate, adj
mittedly the one who sentenced
Jesus to crucifiXion, is washed of
responsibility and guilt
One other fact that must be
borne in mind. and that is. that
the crucial events of the New
Testament are described only in
the New Testament: nothing is
known from excavations. or from
Graeco Roman historians. We
have no proof other than the New
Testament that Jesus ever lived.
no more than anything has been
discovered to authenticate the
existence of Moses. Doubts that
either lived are. however. not
justified. The problems of the
reliability and accuracy Of New
Testament accounts are acute. For
example. there is a brief passage
in book by the Jewish historian.
Josephus. which exalts Jesus;
Josephus wrote about s0-95 c. E.
Competent Christian &C h S
have maintained that the Jose
plus passage about Jesus is not
by Josephus at all. but a later
Interpolation. Again. Christian
scholars have noted that New
Testament writings provide both
variations in details and even con-
traditions.
The New Testament contains
twenty-seven books, constituting
documents assembled about IT'S
C. E. in which the rising Christian
church attests before the world to
its conviction that in Jesus (be-

PTA Praised by Nixon

Integration poses no particu-

at the Willard Hotel. He said
he is proud that his children at

Johnson, science department
head. Mr.. johnson recently
urged that high schools set up a
program to seek more potential
science students and encourage
them to carry their study
farther.
Several civic groups recently
have urged that Western High
School be made into a special
college preparatory high school.
DR.. Hansen said he is opposed
to limiting the suggested ad-
vanced college-prep course to
one school, however.
He outlined some of his pro-
posals at a recent citizens asso-
citation meeting and they already
have been Endorsed by the Con-
necticut Avenue Citizens Asso-
citation in a resolution.

law. medicine. teaching or SIM

2. A general college prepara-
tory course. similar to the pres
ent one. but without a specific
professional emphasis.
8. A nonacademic, noncollege
course for students of average
ability who intend to go to work
after graduation.
4. A new program for children
with slow learning ability or
backward educational achieve
ment, separate from regular
classes.
In connection with these
courses. DR.. Hansen also has
proposed replacing the present
uniform graduation diploma.
Students in each Of the first
three categories would get
diplomas for the specific course.
Graduates of the fourth pro-
gram would get a certificate in
dicating that while they did not
qualify for a diploma. they had
completed a course of high school
study.
Means Significant Changes
The proposed revamping would
mean significant changes in
present course content, accord
ing to DR.. Hansen. 1t also would
impose sitter study require
ments on students able to meet
them, and would mean a cutback
on electives.
Students wishing to enroll in
the proposed pre-professional
program would have to meet
high standards to get in, and
maintain them to stay. And they
would be expected to move
ahead faster and learn more
than in any courses now Of
fered, DR.. Hansen told The Star.
District high schools now re-
ruire courses totaling about half
of the necessary IS graduation
credits. The other half are elec-
tives left to the students own
choice.
Under the proposed pre-pro-
feSsional program, a student not
only would take the minimum
English, American history, gov
ernment, mathematics and sci
ence already required, but woulV
have to take additional years.
One or more foreign languages
would also be required.
No Plan for Slow Ones
AS for the opposite end of the
scale, DR.. Hansen said no sub
Jects tailored to the needs of
academically backward children
are now offered, and that the
curriculum for such students
must be rebuilt entirely. These
children also must continue to
get science. American history
and the other required subjects,
but they should be on a simpler
level than present offerings, he
said.
In addition, under the plan,
the schools would provide such
youngsters with trade-type
courses which would prepare
them to earn a living.
One OF the most important
reasons for creating the special
sloW-learner program is to keep
Evening star., 1955-05-11

pupils in every school to justify
at least one such class" lie told
The Star.
DR.. Hansen said he hopes to
start setting up the new program
by next September. 1t will not
be possible to start the pre-pro-
fessional course at every school
immediately, he said. but he
added that he is proposing to
allow eligible students to trans
fer to a school Offering it, if
their own school doesn't.
Four high schools now are
under considerable for the new
four-pronged course plan next
fall, he added. He declined to
name them, however.
DR.. Hansen's proposal for the
revamping stemmed in part from
a suggestion made by Keith C.
Evening star., 1955-05-11

the organization for supporting
the international PTA program.
He said the closer ties be-
tween different countries welded
by the movement aid the con-
tinuing effort toward peace.
More Language Courses Urged
Referring to his recent world
goodwill tour, Mr.. Nixon said
he was surprised at the number
of elementary age children in
foreign lands who speak English.
He suggested increased teaching
Evening star., 1955-05-11

many children from dropping out
before graduation. The school
system now loses many half
educated students every year, DR..
Hansen pointed out.
1t is equally important, he
added, for separate classes for
slow-learners to be set up be-
cause such pupils are now in
the same rooms with many chill
dren of normal and superior
ability. In these circumstances,
not only do the slow children
learn little but they are a drag
on the brighter ones.
Benefit to All Seen
THE aim of this program
would be to facilitate grouping
according to ability, goal and
achievement. This would be of
benefit to all pupils" DR.. Hansen
said.
DR.. HanSen's plan for a slow
learner program ties in closely
with a proposal made recently
by DR.. Harold A. Haynes, deputy
school superintendent, to de-
velop such a program at Arm
strong High School, now a tech
nical school.
Armstrong; technical program
is due to be supplanted next year
by Mckinley High School, but
Or. Haynes has urged using Arm
strong as an opportunity school"
where children unable to profit
from the academic-type pro-
gram of the general high school
could learn useful trades.
DR.. Hansen said he favors this
general idea. but he also wants
to set up special slow-learner
groups in other high schools.
There ought to be enough
