La 0EA Y Ell P~|aneam;ento de Ia Education

en- 1855, destacaron la necesidad de apllcar a IA
educaci6n las tecnicas modernas del planeamiento.
Sc trata de un acto de reflexi6n: mediante ell
planeamiento, los g~obiernos y los pueblos van a
determinar las dimensiones del arrollador profile
ma educativo y a precisar los recursos de que
disponen para resolverlo. FL planeamiento pro-
cura aprovechar las Ciencias de la Educacion y
la tecnica administrative para orientar Ia accion
del Estado y. para darle continuidad.
Por este, ell planeamiento implica un conceptc
dinamico. No basta elaborar TN plan; es precise
ejecutarlo y ~revisarlo pe~ri6dicamente.
Este ~prop6sito de s~ustituir Ia provision q Ia
improvisation; la Ncontinuidad a la accion espo-
radica, ha inspirado medidas recientes q varios
gobiernos atinoamericanos como los del Brasil,
Colombia, Chile, Mexico y Ell Peru.
Con ell fin de analizar y valorar estas exps-
riencias de America, la OEA ha convocado un
Seminario Interamericano, Ell cual Sc reunira en-
Washington, en- Ell mes de JUNO.
Ell Seminario ha sido materia de esnerada pre-
p~araci6n por parte de la OEA, con la colabora-
cion de la UNESCO y de asociaciones interna-
cionales, universidades, instituciones y enninentes
educadores.
Sc espera que concurran al Seminario los
dirigentes de la educaci6n de America, ash como
expertos en- Administration Publica y en- Finanzas,
a fin de que, sobre La base de las realizaciones
logradas en- America y de la Recommendation allesa-
da por la oEA, formulen sugestiones a los 60
biernos acerca de la forma mas aconsejable de
llevar a cabo ell planeamiento de la educacion
publica.
Esta reunion no puede ser mas o%portuna.

La tension de esta epoca desconcertante en-
que vivimos ha desembocado logicamente en- una
crisis de la education. Cuando una generation
atraviesa una epoca de c~onflicto, aspira a que la
nueva generation Sc capacite mejor para afrontar
SUI destino.
En- nuestra epoca, 81 choque de valores y de
intereses entire Ell Oriente y ell Occidente, el in
comensurable desarrollo tecnologico y la inte-
gracion cada vez mas estrecha de Ia vida interna-
cional, han creado en- Ell espiritu humane Ell
desconcierto que inspira un mundo nuevo pleno
de sorpresas y de posibilidades.
Las dos ~naciones mas p~oderosas de la historic
buscan ahora en- la educacion la llave del por-
venir. Tanto los Estados Unidos como la Union
S~ovietica, han iniciado una, revision visceral de
sus instituciones educativas.
Los pueblos latinoamericanos Sc encuentran
en- ell p6rtico de la Era At6mica, con millones de
analfabetos, millones de ninos sin escuela y defi-
~ciencias notorias en- todos los niveles del sistema
educativo.
Esto coincide con un proceso inferno de trans

En- esta intensidad en- los cambios sociales,
a~gravada por Ell %crecimiento demografico, formula
demands, cada vez mas ~intensas y complejas,
a la educaci6n.

No. 4849 Equity In the Circuit
Court for Garrett County,
Maryland
The object of this suit is to pro-
cure decree for a divorce a
vinculo matrimonii by the plain
tiff from the defendant and the
guardianship and custody of the
infant child born of said marriage,
viz, Mary Ellen Nair, about four
years of age.
The bill states that on the 10th
day of October, in the year 1852,
the plaintiff and defendant we're
married and lived together as man
and wife at Friendsville, Garrett
County, Maryland, until the 18th
day of December. 1852. at which
time the defendant abandoned and
deserted the plaintiff
That although the conduct of
the plaintiff towards her husband
had always been kind, affectionate
and above reproach, the said de-
PENDANT without cause or reason
abandoned and deserted the plain
tiff and has not lived or cohabited
with her since said desertion.
That such abandonment has con-
tinued uninterruptedly for more
than three years and is deliberate
and final and the separation of the
parties is beyond all reasonable
hope or expectation of reconcile
alton.
That the said parties have one
child born to them as result of
said marriage, viz, Mary Ellen
Nair, about four years of age, and
that the plaintiff is advised after
making a diligent search for the
defendant that he resides some
where in the State of Ohio,
and that he is nonresident
of the State of Maryland The
bill then prays that the plain
tiff may be divorced a vinculo
matrimonii from the said defend
ant, that she may be awarded the
guardianship and custody of the
infant daughter born of said mar
riage, general relief and order
of publication against the said de-
PENDANT.
1t is thereupon this 10th day of
June, 1858, ordered by the Circuit
Court for Garrett County, Mary
land, in Equity that the plaintiff
by causing a copy of this order to
be inserted in some newspaper
published in said Garrett County
once in each of four successive
weeks before the 4th day of July,
1858, give notice to said absent de-
PENDANT of the object and sub
stance of this bill warning him to
appear in this Court in person or
by solicitor on or before the 18th
day of July, 1858, to show cause, if
any he has, why a decree ought
not to be passed as prayed.

EorIyHeorings Sought
On BiNboords Control

Senator Kuchel. Republican
Of California. will seek early
hearings on his bill to prevent
billboard blight along the Al. 1000
miles of superhighways being
built with Federal aid.
Recognizing that billboards
on private property adjacent to
the highways are subject to
State control, Senator Kuchel
has proposed an incentive sys-
tenn to encourage the States to
regulate such advertising. He
would give a State an extra /
per cent in Federal aid If it
makes an agreement to regulate
billboards. The Federal Gov
eminent already pays 80 per
cent of the cost Of the super
highways.
The Kuchel bill is more gen.
erous than the three-fourths
Of per cent bonus proposed
last year by Senator Neuberger,
Democrat Of Oregon. That plan
was beaten in the Public Works
Committee rs, with Senator
Kuchel voting against it. His
sponsorship Of q new bill has
led supporters Of billboard con-
troll to hope for its passage this
year.
Because some States have
constitutional provisions allow
ing Incorporated cities to con-
troll such matters. the new bill
would apply only outsiderof such
cities. But Senator Kuchel told
the Senate the scenic beauties
the bill seeks to protect are in
the open country.
Safety Is another basis for
passage Of the bill. The Sen
-ator pointed out that too often
caution signs are obscured by
