Boost for Trade Center

Inc proposal 1or permanent trade
and chronological exposition here has
received a substantial boost from Presi-
dent Kennedy. His timely interest In
the plan is most welcome, for it tends
to give the undertaking national
prestige and thus stimulate participa-
tion by large industrial firms. Industry,s
cooperation In the multi-million dollar
project Is, Of course, essential to It's
success.
Originally the idea Of q permanent
trade center where American industry
could display its products was in
corporated in the plans for q worlds
fair here. When New York City won the
nod in the worlds fair contest, Board Of
Trade and other interests decided to
continue with plans for an industrial
exposition, permanently housed in the
Nations Capital A number OF leading
industrialists have evidenced their
interest In such q center, largely
financed from private sources.
The question Of where the proposed
exposition would be placed remains un-
settled, although Commerce Secretary
Hodges, in announcing the Presidents
support Of the general proposal, men
toned Boiling Air Force Base as under
consideration. However, military au-
thorities in the past have indicated their
reluctance to relinquish their hold on
that property, even after all flying
operations there are ended. Another
site, in the heart of downtown Wash
ington, is favored by another group on
the ground that the center should be
convenient to bus, rail and air terminals.
Whatever the final decision as to
location, there can be no question as to
the desirability Of establishing such
great showcase of industry" in our
CITY, The project would benefit not
only Washington but the Nation as
whole.

Kennedy Defeat

s3s The President, who has been win
ming the close ones in his bouts with
Congress, went down to defeat by one
vote margin in the minimum wage fight.
We do not profess to know what this
may foreshadow for other hotly con-
tested items on Mr.. Kennedy'S legisla-
tive program. But 1t is a good thing, in
our Judgment, that the administration
lost this one.
The real objection runs not so much
to the amount Of the minimum wage as
to the formula which the administration
advocated. At the outset, 1t wanted to
establish the dollar amount of business
done as the key factor in determining
which businesses should be covered. In
short, it wanted to get away from the
established concept Of interstate COM
n1erce in favor of a dollar formula
which, through progressive reductions,
could have brought the smallest intra-
state concern within the reach of the
Federal legislation.
It was on this point that the main
fight centered, and the bill finally
adopted adhereS to the formula of past
minimum wage laws by making its new
coverage provisions applicable only to
enterprises engaged in commerce or
the production Of goods for commerce"
which have five or more retail estab-
AshmentS operating in two or more
States. In a word, it maintains the
distinction between interstate and in
trastate commerce, and this is as it
should be.

sQuockery' in Education

Coming. from such an authority as
DR.. Louis B. Wright, the caustic criticism
OF quackery" in American education
which the erudite director Of the Folger
Shakespeare Library has voiced ought
to. jolt some Of our professional educa-
tors into re-examining their doctrines.
Previous criticisms along similar lines
from less authoritative sources have not
seemed to faze these professionals,
enamored as they are with what DR..
Wright aptly calls windy theory
couched in pedagogical dialect"
~, As DR.. Wright is former professor
OF English, historian of note and
holder Of many university degrees,
including D. Lift, Phi. D. and L. D., his
views regarding modern education are
deserving Of reSpect-even by the
pedagogical theorists. The library
director, guest speaker at Founders Day
ceremonies at Georgetown University,
charged that "quackery has been one Of
the plaques Of American education- and
the voice Of the charlatan is still loud
IN the land" Referring to complaints
that Johnny can neither read nor
spell, he said that correcting these
defects requires "exact knowledge" not
Hquackery, smugness, arrogance, neglect,
Mdiherence" and the aforementioned
.Windy theory"
=. However, DR.. Wright was not without
hope that things would change for the
Better. He pointed out that recent
revolutionary scientific achievements
have shocked us into diagnosing our
intellectual ailments" Getting rid Of
"quackery" and getting down to basic
concepts Of education are the next
steps, he declared. In Washington a
good beginning already has been made in
this direction, thanks to School Super
trtendent Carl Hansen'S insistence on
q return to the "three Rs" in the elemen-
tary schools. We have had enough
Of pedagogical experimentation with
windy theory" here-it Just did not
work. The Johnnys and Marys who
czlnot read, write, spell or master
arithmetic are proof Of that.
