tics courses and. finally, too few
teenagers want to take the
tough courses in place Of more
generalized electives.
One angry educator, Keith

science in District schools
sounded of on the subject here
last week. In a talk, Mr. John
son referred to the concentra-
ton by Washington teeuagers
on the prowess of the city's
championship root ball team at

No one expects such blunt
ness from the President when,
in Oklahoma City next Wednes-
day, he outlines his program
for scientific education reform.
This week, however, the Pres
ident called the lack of science
education "a great future dan
ger that no amount of money
or resources currently devoted
to it can meet" 1t is antici-
pated that he may propose to
meet it with Federal subsidies
to provide teachers and facili-
ties for those local school sys-

The missile expert who said
he expected to be called before
"a Congressional committee

held an unusual three-hour
seminar for a group of selected
newsmen. including Washing

science reporters and column
nists. Both men asked not to
be identified. The missile man
spoke. the scientist lectured
and each answered scores OF
questions.
Among other points the pain
made as to the capabilities Of
the Russians were these:
/. They are working hard on
development of a hypersoniC
bomber, an aircraft which
would streak across space al
$4,000 miles an hour and bomb
or spy with the best control
system in the world-a human
pilot.

Committee on Aeronautics has

They said there were two

Both Sputniks Slower
The last indication that
Laika was alive came in an
official Soviet announcement
on Sputnik II Thursday say
ing telemetric stations were
continuing to monitor physi-
illogical reports from the satel-
lite. That announcement did
not give the usual report on
the condition of the dog.
The absence of any word on
the dog made it seem here there
soon might be some develop
ment involving the animal.
Tass reported that both
Sputnik I. launched October 4,
and Sputnik II. which went up
last Sunday, were slowing down
slightly. Sputnik II is losing
about 2.3 seconds a day while
Sputnik I is losing 2.94 seconds

An end to the free ride Of
high school students through
pipe" courses in modern dance
and art, plus a Federal school
aid bill that will curl the hair
of its longtime opponents may
be the chief United States re-
suit of Moscow's earth-circling
sputniks.
Political signs to that effect
appeared Thursday night when
President Eisenhower, describ-
ing the Soviet-American science
race, said: According to my
scientific friends, one of the
greatest and most glazing de-
ficiencies is the failure of us
in this country to give high
enough priority to scientific
education and to the place Of
science in our national life"
Behind the Presidents state
ments are some harsh statistics
complied by the Federal Office
of Education. They show:
That nearly one-fourth Of the
public high schools in the
United States offer neither
chemistry nor physics;
That one-fourth of the pub
lie high schools do not offer
plane geometry, and,
That one-third of the high
schools offer neither trigonome-
try, solid geometry nor adj
vanced algebra.
These findings were based on
a Federal survey of the 1854
school year. Results Of a later
1856 study. still not published
in complete detail. show no
basic changes.
The 1856 figures, for exam
pie, show that only 34.4 per
cent of all high school students
take chemistry. Only 24.5 per
cent take physics. Only 1872
per cent go beyond elementary
algebra. Trigonometry is studied
by go per cent of the eligible
public high school pupils while
rs per cent take solid geome-
try.
Three explanations are given
for the lack of science train
ing; schools lack the money for
expensive laboratories; they

not be able to send a satellite

with it's 1858 budget last Thurs

it had no alternative but to ap-

The reason for the budget cut
is simple: next years estimated
income is almost $4,000 under
the village income council is an
ticipating for 1857.
The biggest income cut is in
funds the village receives from
inheritance taxes. This year
council expects the village to
receive over $4,000 in inheri-
tance tax money, while the es-
timated income in this field for
1858 was set at o My 81 1000.

the property owners will be bill
