IS perhaps one Of the greatest blessings to come to these
shores. It IS g program into which all ambitious and far

closely.
an Oh THE great problems with education locally IS
the fact that these Islands are a long way 400 niles from
the center Of educational activity on the mainland. To get to
college the high school graduate must give up everything
and head FOR the mainland. But that is not as simple as it
seems. Problems Of finance and the ike will no doubt play a
most important part

Just Inching Along

mately two parts per million shorter than
the present American inch and correspond
ingly larger than the British inch. The
International pound will equal 045SSo2S7
kilograms, which Is midway between the
British and American pounds.
Why didn't other major countries Of
the world-outside the Iron Curtain. Of
course-join in standardizing these weights
and measures?
Because the other countries do not use
inches. feet, yards, pounds, ounces, etc.
All the peoples Of the earth except the
English-speaking minority use the so-called
metric system Of measurement. This en-
measuring distance and the gram tor
kilogram) as the customary unit for weight.
And, Just as there was pressure to
standardize measurement units among the
English-speaking peoples, so there Is
pressure now to standardize units for the
world.
Scientists - and many governmental
leaders, led by Commerce Secretary Lewis
L. Strauss-are urging that the metric
system become universal because 1t is the
more accurate and easily adaptable in
technology.
There Is opposition, however, to this
metric movement. Many lovers Of tradi-
ton cry out against the prospect of
abandoning such an institution as the
inch. which once was merely equivalent to
the breadth of a thumb. and last was
standardized by Edward Of England, who
decreed 1t should be equal to three barley
corns dry and round laid end-to-end

comes shorter and the pound lighter.
You won't notice the differences right
away. however.
In fact, unless you use precision instru-
ments, you may never notice the differences.
They are that small.
The changes are coming about because
the National Bureau of Standards-the
custodian of our weights and measures
agreed with similar agencies In other
English-speaking nations to standardize
the inch, the pound and all the rest OF the
units of weight and measure, such as the
foot. the yard, the ounce, etc.
Although the differences are slight.
they are nonetheless upsetting to weights
and-measures experts. For example. the
British inch equals 25.399956 millimeters
and the American inch 2540O05O8 milli-
meters; the British pound equals 0.453592338
Kilograms and the American pound
0453592427 Kilograms.
All other measures and weights-feet
yards, ounces etc.-are similarly divergent
among the United States, Great Britain.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the
Union of South Africa.
In the best fair-play tradition, the
parties are meeting one another halfway.
