SURVEY SHOWS
COLLEGE TREND

New England prep schools
may be losing some Of
their academic luster. In
fact. they might have lost
it.
Last year these institu-
tions sent 95 per cent Of
their graduates on to COL
lege. For the first time,
however, private schools in
the Pacific and South Gen.
trail States had a higher
percentage-97 per cent Of
their graduates gaining ad-
mission to college.
The information was re-
ported last week in the
1860 edition Of Porter Sar-
gents Handbook Of Private
schools, an annual volume
presenting a survey Of in
dependent boarding and
day schools throughout the
Nation.

cial problems. Many children
are unable to work to capacity
because of emotional problems.
AS one 13-year-old said to me
How can I concentrate on
my school work when all day
long I wonder why my mother
doesn't love me?"
AS a teacher you can help
your children by giving them
love. by giving them individual
attention, by making them feel
a sense Of pride and dignity.
QUESTION: We are plan
ming to move to the suburbs.
How can we find out which of
the public school systems are
the best? What yardstickS
shall we use?
ANSWER: You can judge a
school system by the salary it
pays its teachers; by the age of
the buildings and libraries; by
the interest Of the PTA or cit
izens committee on education,
and by the teacher turnover.
Also check on how the high
school graduates do outside the
community. How many are ac-
cepted in the major colleges
or universities? How many win
National Merit or other Schol-
arShip awards? You might
check with your State citizens
committee on public education.
Most States have associations
that serve as a central clearing
house for school information.

QUESTION: I am IT years
old, a senior, and am gradual
ing from high school this
month with an 88 average. I've
been accepted by a good COL
lege, but ! wonder whether
should go. I can get a job i'm
mediately in a hardware store
at SIS a week. Wouldn't be
better of at the end Of four
years than my classmates who
60 to college? My parents have
left the decision up to me.
ANSWER: II you can pos
sibly afford college, and ]
gather you can, by all means
go. Four years of work will
not give you the training OF
background that you'll get from
four years on a college campus
Besides. in actual dollars and
cents you'll be much better of
Over a lifetime, the average
high school graduate will earn
$165.000; the average college
grad can expect to earn $275,-
900. But money alone is not
the only reason for a college
career. You'll be a better per-
son and a better citizen if you
go to college. In these COM
plex times, college training is
more vital than ever. Don't
miss this opportunity.
QUESTION: Can you help a
puzzled mother? My 9-year-
old daughter is bright as a
whip. She's in the fourth grade,
and Is bored with school. She
says it's not challenging. Her
principal recommends that she
skip the fifth grade and go di-
rectly into the sixth. What do
you think?
Answer: 1t will depend a lot
on your child. If she is emo
tionally mature and can handle
herself with older children,
then I would agree with the
principal.
Until recently, educators
frowned on skipping. They
felt it was better to keep the
child in her own grade, but
with an enriched" program
more classwork and more
homework. New evidence, how
ever, suggests that skipping
isn't all bad. In many in
stances the child is better of
in a grade that will challenge
her mentality to the fullest. I'd
say. if your child wants to
skip a grade. and the school
officials approve, go ahead ard
leu ner 90 IL.
Question: My teachers tell
me there are many lesser
known but f1rst-rate colleges
worth applying to. How does
one determine which are first
rate?
Answer: AS you know, not
everyone can get into Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, Smith or
VasSar. But there are some
1000 colleges listed in the
United States Office of Educa-
ton directory. OF these about
half are accredited by their
regional associations. You can
get a list of the accredited COL
leges from the United State
IOfhce Of Education.

I would recommend almost
any one Of these accredited
colleges. After all, it's the
individual, not the college, that
counts in the long run.
QUESTION: I'd like to send
my son to college but I just
can't affort it. He's in the
upper quarter of his class. Are
scholarships available? How
much will it cost to send him to
college for four years?
ANSWER: Unfortunately
100000 bright young men every
year do not go to college be-
cause their parent can't afford
it. But scholarships are avail
able. Write directly to the
college and apply for them. Or
apply for a student loan, either
through the college or through
the Federal Government. A
college education is one thing
worth getting into debt for
if all other avenues are closed.
With a Federal loan, you start
paying it of a year after you
graduate. If you 60 into
teaching, so per cent of your
loan is written off.
QUESTION: I'm a teacher
OF special, low-I.Q. children.
Is there any way I can raise
their intelligence level?
ANSWER: The 10. fluctu-
ateS. You don't die with the
same 10. with which you were
born. In some people it goes
up, in others it goes down.
However, it is not likely that
you can take a class of low
achievers and suddenly make
them blossom into superior
talents.
On an individual basis,
though, the 10. can be in
creased. Children need chal-
longing work. They need SYM
pathetic attention to their spe-

opinion. DR.. Smith cites a study
ne made of the graduating
classes of 1855 through 1859, to
see how many would have been
eliminated if they had to pass
admission tests. OF the 1855
graduating class of 1,006. some
208 would not have been ad-
mitted as freshmen. This same
proportion holds for the other
five years.
ImmeasurabIe Qualities
AS a result of this first-hand
experience, DR.. Smith COM
ments: mo one has yet devel-
oped a test to measure per-
sonal drive, and other Signifl-
cant qualities without which
high test scores may be mean
lngless and which often render
low test scores equally mis-
leading"
What is the answer? Pro-
fesSor j. w. Getzels of the Uni
verSity of Chicago suggests
greater emphasis on seeking out
talent not readily measured by
the commonly used tests. He
points out that the multiple
choice variety of test is biased
in favor of the "retentive and
docile" students, and against
those who are constructive
and creative"
Despite criticisms voiced by
concerned educators, colleges
and universities may be expect
ed to use admission tests in
growing numbers. AS the pres
sure for college entrance in
creaSes, admissions officers will
be hard put to find a cutoff
point for applicants. AS q re-
suit, thousands of students with

Cover Story
BY MARGARET McNfANUS
Special Writer for The star


NEW YORK.-Jim Mckay is Quiet-appear-
ing fellow who has probably done more talking
on teevison-without the help Of script
than anybody else in the medium.
He is the court reporter of The Verdict Is
Yours weekdays $3.50 pm, WTOP-s), still in
the top 10 daytime shows after two-and-a-half
years on the air.
As the anchor man and the one permanent
performer on this show of constantly changing
actors, actresses, lawyers and judges, 1t Is Nc
Kays complex chore to clarity what Is happen
ing in court, to summarize and to tie together
the facets and fragments of the drama as 1t
happens.
He must do this before the cameras full
glare and while he listens through his earphones
to the somewhat distracting flow of orders
from the shows director, Byron Paul, to the
cameramen.
This is McKays special talent, his ability
to concentrate in the midst OF babble and chaos
and to ad-lib without being dull or repetitive
He can keep his head when all about him are
losing theirs.
Evening star., 1960-01-17
The Real Mckay

since practcally everything ne mas done IN
television and radio has been ad-lib, or news
and sports shows which he has written himself,
Mckay has developed an extraordinary conf
dence in his ability to work independently, with
no help other than his own face mind and
quick wits
Essentially modest to fault, given never to
talking about himself, he admits in rare
moment of well-earned pride:
81 work pretty much out Of my own head,
and actually prefer 1t that way, although It's
a lot easier, and lot less strain to work from
a script. Who can't read copy? Who can't
learn lines?"
Mckay is a versatile man, with a vast
accumulation of information about many
diverse interests. He is an omniverous reader
with a retentive memory that reentlessly and
accurately holds facts to the smallest detail
Born in Philadelphia, he grew up in Balti-
more where he studied under the Jesuits at both
Loyola High School and Loyola College.
After his graduation from college, Mckay
entered the Navy. went to Mdshipmen School
at Columbia University, served during World
War II as captain of a mine-sweeper.
When he got out of the Navy, he worked
as q reporter on the Baltimore Evening Sun
and started in televsion in 1946 on WdAR-TV
there. His was the first voice heard on tele-
vision in Baltimore This is where he started
talking, and he did, among other things, daily
3-hour variety show, much of which was filled
with his comments and interviews
Mckay moved on to New York in 1s4S
Here he did more talking on a daily halfhour
variety show on WCBS-TV, called The Real
Mckay. He subsequently did two daily sports
shows which he wrote himself.
Jim Mckay has still another talent which
Is Unborn and almost impossible to acquire
Living and working among people who are
frequently afflicted with temperament, who are
made irritable by constant tensions and frus
trations he remains reasonable and even
tempered. His wit and good humor help his

I'm related to him by marriage The truth is

home again, and this is the
result. We haven't been so alive
since-well, maybe never. This
is everybody's way of showing
what homec ing really
means"
Mr.. BrotherSon, an articulate
sort has been everywhere in
My Fair Lady" for three years,
from Keokuk to Kiev.
He didn't want to be mis-
understood about the home
coming enthusiasm and the ex-
plosive energy it inspired.
1t implied no lack of JOY on
the part of any member of the
company in the eight-weeks
tour of Russia, from Moscow
to Leningrad to Kiev. Every
one loved the Russian audi
enceS. the Russian audiences
in turn loved My Fair Lady"
but this is the way it is when
anyone comes home, an Amer
lean or a Cambodian, or a
Ubangi.
But as Michael Evans, the
companyS male star. said in a
curtain speech at the National,
1T had been hard to play a
comedy in English before au-
diences that couldn't laugh,
save spottily, because even
those who speak English can
not understand it when spoken
at the My Fair Lady" tempo.
Eric agreed with this, as any
reader will agree who has ever
asked a Frenchman, German,
Italian, or Spaniard if he
would mind speaking more
slowly.
But" he went on sagely,
make the slightest change in
the tempo of the shows speech
and what have you got-cer-
tainly not My Fair Lady"
Between soup and sherbet,
a party table-hopper picked up
quite a standard impression
on the company members part
Of their Russian experience.
They are enormously i'm
pressed with the beaverlike
energy of the Russians. their
great and warm curiosity about
everything American, the coun-
try they are building and.
most of all, by the distance in
living standards between
there and here.
This one clearly was a viva
