adjustments in human understand
ing will become unbearable if we
continue to stress science at the
expense of social behavior. In this
future there will be an abundance
of wealth, more leisure, a life of
joy instead of dread and extended
longevity. Modern inventions will
have such an impact upon the
world that shrinkage will make
states appear no larger than coun-
ties did to our fathers.
The second general session fea-
tured a symposium on the subject:
"The Forseeable Education of the
Future" One main idea that was
stressed was that Teaching is an
art and it is a great art" The
foreseeable future is what we
help to make it. The need for
study, experimentation and creative
research must be given serious
consideration in planning for edu-
cation for the future. 1t was point
ed out that the money available
for educational research was COM
pared with industry is pitifully
small and inadequate.
The closing address on Thursday
afternoon was given by DR.. Marie
E. Rascy, Professor of Education
al Psychology, Wayne University,
Detroit, Michigan. Her subject
was: "How Can the Schools Meet
the Challenge of Changer"
From the 40 study-discussion
groups that had been provided
for conference participants, Mrs
Thompson chose to work with a
section of the group on Develop
ing a Functional Teacher Educa-
ton Program for Modern Schools.
She attended the clinic for Pro-
fessors of Supervision and Curricu-
lum Development. The study
groups provided opportunities for
participants to work rather inten-
sively on problems of mutual con-
Germ over a period of several days;
and the clinics provided opportuni-
ties for those persons with similar
job responsibilities to come togeth-
err and talk about their problems.
share successful practices, and
evaluate future trends.
After having had the contact
and fellowship of working with
colleagues from all over the nation
and from several foreign countries,
Mrs. Thompson was of the opinion
that the program of Teacher Edu-
cation at Jackson State College
ranks with the best programs in
the nation.
Another highlight of going to
the conference" stated Mrs
Thompson, twas the opportunity
to see many of her former stu
dents following successful careers
in St. Louis; and meeting with
relatives, former schoolmates, for
mer university teachers, colleagues,
and making new friends"

Jackson College
Professor Attends
Educators Meet

Mrs. Cleopatra d. Thompson,
Associate Professor of Education,
Jackson State College, attended the
18th Annual Conference of the As
ISOLATION for Supervision and Cur
riculum Development, a depart
ment of the National Education
Association, recently. The meet
ings were held in Hotel Sheraton
Jefferson and Hotel Statler, st.
Louis. The conference theme was:
Education and the Future: APP
praisal and Planning"
The conference was rich in a
variety of experiences for the par
Elephants. These experiences in
cluded such activities as general
sessions. assemblies, clinics, study
discussion groups, and visits to
the st. Louis schools from the nur-
sery schools through the univer-
sites, both public and private;
meanwhile, opportunities were
provided for the delegates to
browse in the exhibit area where
one could see many of the recent
Institutional materials on display,
to examine the curriculum ma
terials which are being developed
in school systems and state de-
partments of education all over the
country.
More than 5000 educators rep
resenting every state in the United
States and Canada and many other
foreign countries were in attend
ance.
Gerald Wendt, science editor Of
UNESCO, New York, was speaker
for the opening general session.
The subject of his address was:
"The Foreseeable World of Tomor-
row." Basing his predictions on
past and present facts, the speaker
painted a voluminous picture of
optimism for the future! He stated
that the birth place of the future
rests in the laboratory, and the
major task of education is to help
people adjust to change and to new
adjustments. Forceful emphasis
was placed on the belief that our

World Output
At Peak Level
Despite Suez

Oil was found for the first time
in Nigeria, West Africa, and in
Costa RIGA, Central America, in
1856. These are only two of the
100 nations, territories, and pro-
tectorates engaged in petroleum
operations, reports THE PETRO-
LEUM ENGINEER, oil industry
publication, in it's 10th Annual
Worldwide Survey, published in
April
In Nigeria, Shell and British
Petroleum began searching for oil
in 1889. Eighteen years and $40
million later, it was discovered. 1t
is not yet certain whether oil re-
serves are sufficient to permit
building the production equipment,
pipelines, and tanker loading facili-
ties required to market the oil.
This will call for another $14 mil
lion expenditure.
The Costa RIGA discovery was
made by Union Oil Company of
California. 1t is near the Panama
line, where Union has another con-
cession and is drilling confirma-
ton tests. The discovery we'll is
promising. 1t produced 1000 bar
rels a day of 46 API gravity clean
oil on test from 1880 feet.
Despite the Suez closure and
damaged pipeline in Syria, the
survey shows 1856 world output
of 1876 million barrels of oil day.
Compared with 1866 Bureau of
Mines figures, crude oil production
rose 1O.7 percent, slightly
less than 1855 increase over 1854.
Although the Middle East muddle
distorted the production pattern
the last two months of 1856, gains

Plan Water-FlOOd
In Pembina Field

Prospect sare that Alberta's ire
mendous Pembina Field will dis
place venerable East Texas field
as the worlds biggest pressure
maintenance operation late this
year or next.
The Oil and Gas Journal re-
ports in its March rs issue, that
the Alberta Petroleum and Natural
Gas Conservation Board is now
cracking down in a drive to achieve
field-wide pressure maintenance.
Pembina generally is fast losing
valuable bottom-hole pressure, and
it'll be too late two years from
now to do anything about the prob
lem.
One full-scale warm water-flood
project is already under way. Sew
eral pilot floods have been ap-
proved. Operators in the field who
haven't already launched water or
gas-injection projects must file
plans to do so with the conserva-
ton board by April 1.
Operators and the conservation
board became alarmed in 1866 when
two-year-old wells began showing
disturbing drops in pressure and
climbs in gas-oil ratios. Some
couldn't make, the allowables.
The future looked black for the
347,200-acre Pembina Field which
contests West Texas Spraberry
Trend Area field as the biggest
oil pool on the North American
continent. the Journal says. Then
cheering news came in mid-1956
when an exhaustive reservoir
study showed the field could be
water-flooded very profitably.
The conservation board has been
applying increasing pressure on
operators for an all out program
Of flooding. It capped its drive

for field-wide pressure mainten-
ance with its ultimatum to oper-
ators for filing such plans by
April 1.
According to the reservoir study,
265, 900 acres Of the field could be
flooded to recover a staggering l.
100000, 900 barrels Of added oil.
And on top Of this must be added
secondary oil which will be taken
from at least part Of the field
(some $1,000 acres) thought feas-
IDLE for gas injection.
These are big figures. But early
reserve estimates in such cases in
the past generally have proved ul-
traconservative and, according to
the Journal, these for Pembina
may be, too.
