43 Years of Service

The presidential press conference
has gone through certain evolutionary
changes in the 43 years of its existence.
Very likely there will be others in the
years to come. But as an institution it
long ago proved its value, not to Presi-
dent or to the press alone, but to the
American people. 1t has, for example,
become a convenient channel by which
a President may inform the public of his
actions and his intentions. And, in re-
verse, it has become a means by which
the public, through the inquiries of the
press, may explore further the design
of administration policies. A President
requires public support; the public, in
turn, needs information and explanation
on which to base its evaluation Of pol
icies. And while there are other methods
for accomplishing these ends-messages
to Congress, -television reports to
the Nation, etc.--the press conference is
an effective supplement. The very fact
that it is question and-anSwer proce-
dure-not unlike the practice of parlia-
mentary questioning in Britain-permits
development of information and opin-
ion that might not occur otherwise in
our own system of government.
President Eisenhower has utilized the
press conference well, and to the advan-
tage of all who have a stake in the free
flow of information and discussion about
matters of public interest. The United
States is the only country where the
public press has direct and frequent con-
tact with the chief of state. And it Is
more than a coincidence that it is also
the country where the public is best in
formed of it's Governments actions and
detectives. The press, and the public,
should share Mr.. Eisenhower's hopes that
the press conferences will continue at
least another q years.

Let's Know the Facts

It is gratifying that the House APP
preparations Committee has voted to add
rs new teachers next year to the primary
grades In addition, the committee has
ordered transfer of so teaching positions
In the Junior and senior high schools to
the primary grades, making total in
crease of 1875.
It is this transfer of teaching posi-
tons that requires immediate study. The
Board of Education should direct the
school administration to report, first, on
where these so teaching positions will
come from; second, the effect of their
loss upon the junior and senior high
schools
We are not apt to get that informa-
ton unless it is ordered by the Board OF
Education. DR.. Corning has forbidden his
assistants in charge of junior and senior
high schools to discuss the effect with
newspaper reporters. He is sufficiently
vague about the business himself. We
think the people have every right to a
careful analysis of this transfer, and
candid statement as to the effect. If
there is no serious effect, we'll and good.
If, on the other hand, the transfers are
to cause injury in the upper grades that
will offset the gain OF. the lower grades.
that fact must be made plain now while
there still is time to avoid the mistake.
One hundred and twenty-five new
teaching positions in the primary grades
sounds encouraging Yet the enrolment
In these grades next year is expected to
increase by 1000 An increase of $500
new pupils is anticipated over the next
three years. For next year alone, Sc new
teachers will be required merely to handle
the increase in enrolment; SO additional
teachers are required to handle the in
crease and preserve the ratio of So pupils
per teacher throughout the primary
grades. So the addition of 125 new po-
sitions in the primary grades does not
provide much of net gain with which
to give greater emphasis to special classes,
so much needed because of the demon
strated disparity in student achievement
levels
Unless there is a willingness in Con-
gress to recognize and to correct the
serious condition in Washington schools
exposed by indignation, our experience
here is not apt to be the kind of example
that President Eisenhower was anxious
to show the rest of the country.

Atom in Asia

Although some would have preferred
Ceylon or Japan, a logical decision has
been made in choosing the Republic of
the Philippines as the site for the pro-
jected atomic research center for the free
nations of Asia. This is so particularly
because of it's geographical location in re-
lation to the dozen or more countries ex-
pected to participate in the undertaking.
The center, which probably will be
built in Manila, will receive large meas
ure of help from the United States, which
has committed itself to put up about
$40 million for laboratory facilities and a
reactor for training and research. AS a
cooperative enterprise, however, it will
be Supported-as we'll as utilized-in
numerous ways by all the nations aSso-
ciated with it. Japan and India, for
example, as the only free Asian countries
equipped with a substantial amount of
nuclear know-hoW, are capable of con-
tributing instructors to it, Instruction
will be its prime initial requirement.
After all, before they can begin to use
atomic power for economic progress and
other peaceful purposes, the underde-
veloped lands of the area must first train
and educate their own supply of tech
nicians and scientists
Nevertheless, although it cannot &C
complsh any overnight miracles, the
atomic center in the Philippines-as soon
as it becomes an operating reality-can
be counted upon to make highly valu-
able contribution to nonmilitary nuclear
development throughout non-Communist
Asia In that sense, it deserves to be
hailed as another fine step forward in the
international atoms for peace program.

Battle of the Bottle

If. as Bernice F. Carlton
suggests, Alcohol is an evil
within ITSELF" then it follows
that pistols and automobiles
are also evil within themselves.
for with little stretch of the
imagination. the same dire
ends can be assigned to either
Of these objects.
The point I make is that an
inanimate object which pos
sesses neither will nor intellect
cannot be said to be evil within
itself.
The bottle of whisky may sit
for years upon the shelf, caus-
ing no evil, doing no harm.
So with the car in the garage
and the pistol in the drawer.
When man, however, is
moved by appetite or a defect
in the will to go beyond
himself-for as many personal
reasons as there are alcoholics
we must look, not to the
whisky. but to the man. for the
evil done to himself and others.
