But these walls are now break

no stake in q world that rested

He should use his intellectual
energies in formulating ideas
about a new world which is com
ing into existence rather than in
repeating meaningless platitudes.
To be able TO do this the fami-
lies should develop daily read

than personal looks, clothes and
sports.

Bobby into recording it.
They got together a girl trio
and a small band and made
the record in a commercial
studio. Bobby himself sang the

would use the record as a

The record was kicked of in

Then the officials at Atco
heard it and recognized the
voice OF Bobby Darin-who Is
under contract to them-on the
record. They went to Bruins

Placing Medal
On Satellite Hit

The rector of a leading EpiS-
copal church yesterday blasted
the attaching of a religious
medal to the Vanguard satel-
lite as sheer superstition.
He asserted many people
watching the television pro-
gram Wednesday showing a
Roman Catholic st. Chris
topher medal being attached to
Vanguard felt attaching a four
leaf clover to the missile would
serve as we'll.
Sees "Caricature"
THE fact that a symbol or a
word is associated with tradi-
tional Christianity doese not
prevent it being used in the
most blatantly superstitious
manner possible" DIR. Charles
D. Kean told worShipers in
Epiphany Episcopal Church,
1917 G street NV.
DR.. Kean further asserted,
THE fact that there are re-
ligious and moral ideals in our
Western heritage, which we be-
lieve our military establishment
helps to preserve does not pre-
vent these symbols from being
caricatured so that not only
is the symbol itself made ridic-
ulous, but the faith behind it
turned into children's trivial
ity."
Bullet-PrOO Books
The speaker then noted that
some people gave Testaments
and prayer books in the last
war to soldiers mot so much to
be read as to ward of bullets
II this is what the Chris
tan faith has turned out to be,
our Lords rejection of the three
temptations has been totally
misunderstood.
I'VE are seeing one more ex-
ample of the need for con-
cerned people to work with
ever more consecrated purpose
on behalf of the faith that
makes men free, including not
only freedom from political
tyranny but freedom from the
primitive mind"

advisor to the President. was
on hand to prevent any whole
sale destruction.
The three men feel some-
thing is wrong with secondary
education. Yesterday, speaking
to representatives of area
schools and area school boards,
they struck out at some of the
practices and PHILOSOPHERS
which. have a tight grip on
elementary, Junior and senior
high schools throughout the
country.
700 Attend
The meeting which had the
theme Science and Secondary
Education" was held at the
National Cathedral School for
Boys on Mount st. Alban. Close
to 700 persons attended.
Among the remarks which
have found their way back to
education circles by now, were
these:
Admiral Rickover: I'VE are
reaping the consequences of the
destruction of traditional edu-
cation by the Dewey-Kilpatrick
experimentalist philosophy"
Dr.. TIVE: IF we want more
end better scientific and tech
nical men, =. scall for a higher
level of overall student achieve
ment. not just better courses in
mathematics and science"
DR.. Killian: There needs to
be a greater interest in matters
of the mind, a wedding-out of
the trivial, peripheral. narrowly
vocational subjects but I
do not mean to suggest that
out great secondary school sys-
TEN should cease to provide eff
fectively for all the varying
needs Of your young people"
RickOver Most Critical
OF the three speakers, Ad-
miral Rickover turned out to be
the Severest critic of American
education.
His main target was the late
John Dewey, acknowledged
leader of the progressive"
education forces who held that
school is primarily a social
institution" and that "educa-
ton is a process of living and
not a preparation for future
living"
Admiral Rickover. chief Of
the Naval Reactors Branch,
Atomic Energy Commission,
said unlike all other Western
countries of similar civiliza-
tion," we lack national stand
ard for curricula, for school,
leaving examinations, for diplo-
mas, or for teacher qualif1ca-
ton"
There is a wide variety in
the school systems" he added,
of different States, even for
different cities in the same
state"
TwO-FOld Failure Cited
The admiral said elementary
and secondary education has
failed to provide for the aver
age and below-average student
"a sufficiently broad terminal
education to fit him into a
modern chronological society. y
For the talented student, it has
failed to provide a "solid under
pinning for subsequent profess
sional education"
Why?
According to Admiral Rick
over. :" the spirit of Dewey
permeateS our teacher colleges
and our State boards of educa-
ton. 1t makes its perniciouS

terioration Of secondary school
