Mortimer Smiths address
Monday on PLANNED Medi-
ocrity in Our Schools" at the
Perpetual auditorium in Be
theSda.
Smith, executive secretary of
the Council of Basic Education
and author of several books
criticiZing public education, ac-
cused the professional educa-
tors" of being responsible for the
ability to read and write becom-
ing a lost art"
The great crisis in education,
he said, was not the postwar
"crisis of numbers" with a need
for more buildings and teachers
but lack of a -liberal educa-
ton" in the fundamentals.
Smith was optimistic that in
"our rich country, building and
teacher shortages would not last
long" He advocated more con-
troll of the educational philosophy
by Liberal Arts experts.
Modern educational philosophy
stresses Life adjustment" pro-
grams over basic education in
language, literature, history, sci
ence, math, etc.
A widely held belief that "our
schools are better than ever be-
fore" Smith claimed. is highly
dubious" Textbooks and teach
ers are now dedicated to the idea
that go percent of American
youth are doomed to mediocrity
and cannot be educated, "oniy au.
iusted."
In the question and answer
period following his speech,
Smith said that none of his re-
marks were specifically aimed at
Montgomery schools as he didn't
know enough about them.

president of Sherwood Highs
