Lawrence not only won his
fourth game of the season as

night, but he finished his fourth
game to boost the Redlegs back
into a tie with Milwaukee for the
league lead. The 32-year-old
Highlander permitted only five

Wilson was even more effec-

From the statements above, we

reviewer feels that this is possible
because the students entering uni

have a much better background
than comparable students entering
American universities.
In a system in which all educa-
ton is free or nearly free, one
might wonder how the USSR gets
students to enter essential fields.
This is done in a variety of ways.
Two of these devices are the sizes
of the salary and the enrolment
quotas in various fields.

quality of students entering uni

''The emphasis on science in the
Soviet schools contrasts sharply
the situation in the United States.
Whereas the Soviet students grad

June, 1855, had taken courses in
physics tor years, astronomy for
year, chemistry for years,
biology for 5 years and mathe-
matics for 10 years, less than
a third of American high school
graduates had taken a year of
chemistry, about a fourth a year of
physics, and less than a seventh
had taken advanced mathematics.
advanced mathematics means trig-
onometry and an introduction to
the calculus. There are no electives
in the primary schools"
Every American university pro-
fessor in a field which uses mathe-
matics knows that many of his stu
or even problems in simple pro-
portion. This is partly due to the
fact that some students study no
mathematics beyond the tenth
grade. Perhaps a requirement that
all students in high school must
take mathematics land a science
course each year would help this
problem.
Mention should be made of the
study of foreign languages in sec
)ndary schools. In the USSR ''the
study of one foreign language be-
gins, in grade and continues
through grade TO-" The u. S. Office
Of Education reports that 40 per

and 65 per cent of Soviet university
students are studying English. Ac-
cording to the Modern Language
Association of America, only IL
secondary schools in the United
States offer Russian and only
hout 300 students take the courses,
while at the university level fewer
than 5000 students are learning
Russian. While Russians can keep
abreast of American developments
in science and other fields, our

size of the stipends offered in vari-

effect. This reviewer would like to
suggest that one means for getting
more high school graduates to be-

offer larger scholarships and more

summary. it is the opinion of
this reviewer that We will never
catch up with the USSR unless
we increase our number of quail

make our secondary schooling
briefer and more rigorous by cutt-

uniform statewide or national
examinations for all graduates. An
