REMEMBER SECOND GRADE7

urass otaa Vurf,

What has happened to edu-
cation in 80 years? Is it better?
Do children learn more?
Basically, the same subjects still
are taught in our class rooms,
especially in the elementary
schools.
What, then, is the difference?
1t is in approach. In tone. in set
ting. Take a second grade class
in 1923, when you went TO school.
Take a second grade class IN 1868,
when your kids go to school. Let's
put them in the same Midwestern
town. population about 10000.
Let's assume in each case the
school and the teacher are con-
sidered good in their time.

@. DIR. Kaplan, are the Rus
SLAMS surprising us in produce
ing scientists?
A. Those of us who have met
with USSR scientists recognize
that they are moving ahead ex-
tremely rapidly. The forecast has
been made publicly that at this
rate they will build up a superior
scientific and technical structure.
Their technical education program
has been well-documented and is
now a matter of record.
One of the major problems is
how do we meet this challenge
in the context of society such
as ours which is different in back
ground, goals; politics and way of
life. At the present rate think
the forecasts are not very much
in our favor.
@. Will compulsory mathe-
mates or science in our high
schools give us more scientists?
A. Compulsory mathematics and
science will do something. but I
don't think it is going to give us
more scientists. don't like the
idea Of compulsory anything. To
make math and science attractive
to youngsters as part of their
general education is something
else.
It takes great skill to get UP
before an elementary or high
school class and make an hour
pass In teaching and, at the same
time. make the students feel happy
about the experience. That kind
of inspired teaching. the quality
of it. the real precious nature Of
1t is not understood ny many
people.
I think If such teaching is en-
ployed. math and science become
attractive and become a part of
the thinking and culture of the
people. I'd rather see that happen
than force lot of math and
science down peoples Threats on
the principle that a nation can't
survive without it. You just don't
create good scientists that way.
@. Do the scientists in the
ICY have anything to say about
the math and science curricula
in the schools and II not, don't
you think IL would be helpful II
they did?
A. Those of US prominent in the
ICY have the responsibility Of APP
pearing before large teachers
groups for consultation.
The National Science Founda-
ton has a program of summer in
stitutes for school teachers. In
terestingly enough. it grew out Of
the fact that member of the
physics panel Of the academy, a

physicist, was appalled, at how

To Resign

Editor, Filipino Forum:
1t is strongly evident and freely
admitted by our Community Off
GERS and our Clubhouse Directors
that there is no concrete plan as
yet submitted regarding the build
ing of a community clubhouse.
If fact, they are still blaming
one another. One side says, "our
hands are tied and we couldn't do
a thing" Another group retorts,
you are a do-nothing group. You
ask for money to spend but you
have not done a thing which you
are supposed to do, nor are you
able to present a plan for consider
alton"
And some of the officers even
brazenly say, I'VE are not serv-
ants. We are not paid for the job
or position we were elected to.
What do you expect us to do?"
With these comments 1 have
heard and the personal observation
have made, as a member of the
Filipino Community of Seattle,
Inc, would rather have this or
ganization dissolved. These leaders
have already reached the ceiling of
their leadership. It should have
been discarded long ago. Their
leadership is obsolete. It is no
longer workable nor wanted.
1 request these leaders to resign
or let us dissolve the organization
now.
Sincerely,
