Sl2 Million Library
Urged for Downtown

The National Capital Down.
town Committee has unani-
mouSly indorsed a report
which recommends construc-
ton of a new $12 million
downtown library.
The recommendation was
contained in a study of library
facilities conducted by the con-
sultant firm of Booz, Allen &
Hamilton.
The recommendation now
goes to the District Commits
sioners.

Downtown Progress, Inc, calls
for the replacement of the lob

non Square, Eighth and K

ture containing at least 400, 900

ing the proposal, should be &C

of downtown Washington. The

specific needs are to be studied
in the course of an overall
plan for the area.
Approval by District officials
of the plan would mean in
cluSion of planning and site
money for the structure in the
fiscal 1868 budget.
The firms study pointed out
that new central library has
been a matter of public con-
sideration in the District for
more than 80 years. There is
little to be said for putting
it off any longer.
1t added:
%. the present public por-
tion of the Mount Vernon
Square library is poorly located
from the standpoint of con-
venience, atmosphere and
safety.
AS a result, parents are re-
luctant to send their children
to the library; even adults are
afraid to come after dark"
The study also pointed out
that the present library was
built to serve 100000 people in
an area containing millions
and that expanded services will
be even more necessary in the
next 20 years.

Yale Broodens Moth
For Better Students

placed by a three e-category
program designed to meet the
background of the entering
students.
The first category, which has
the largest enrolment, is a
sequence of three one semester
courses. The freshman starts
on the step for which he is
prepared by his high school
background.
For students with strong in
terest and talent in math but
without advanced training in
high school, Yale has created
the second category. They are
about 80 in number, and Mr.,
Rickart described them as an
"elite" group, many of whom
may major in the subject.
The third category is not new
at Yale. 1t consists of a hand
full of men with exceptional
ability and background. Some
of them are probably of genius
or near-genius rating in math-
ematics, Mr.. Rickart said, and
are given a free run of the
university. theoretically, they
could take graduate Level
courses as freshmen.
There has been a sharp in
crease in the number of better
students with better training
in mathematics entering COL
lege these past years." Mr.
Rickart said.
THE better high schools are
now doing what the leading
prep schools have done for
years, giving advanced math
training to their seniors headed
for college"

EDUCATION FORUM
By BENJAMIN FINE ;
BY BENJAMIN FINE

have often mentioned in these
columns, I am opposed to our
entire system of grading. Too
much emphasis is placed on
grades. Grades have become
the be-all and end-all of edu-
cation. Actually, they should
be symbols Of achievement,
nothing more.
Return to the old methods
of grading? No. if anything,
abolish grades completely! I'd
like to hear from parents and
teachers. What do you think?
Shall grades be abolished? And
what would you put in their
place?
Question: I am a high school
graduate with a c average. I
went to night school, took one
subject and failed. I am SO
broken up I don't know where
to go from here. I had planned
to 60 to a campus college,
and be with students my own
age. 1 know I could do better
if given the chance. I want to
go to college more than any
thing else in the world. Who
will give me a chance? What
do do now? Please help me.
Answer: Sometimes I get
heart-rendering letters that are
difficult to answer. Evidently
you are eager to go TO college,
and would do anything in the
world to get IN, but unfor-
tunately you may not be col
lege material. With a low E
average in high school, and a
failure in college. the chances
of your succeeding in a four
year college seem dim. How
ever, if you are as determined
as you sound, try again. Take
another evening course -
doubt if you can get into an
accredited four year college
with your present record-and
see if you can get a decent
mark. Take a subject that you
think you can do well in, and
stick with it. If you pile up
a good record of three or four
courses this way, you'll have
little difficulty in transferring
to a four-year college. Many
colleges will give you a chance.
The main thing: Keep your
chm up. Don't set discouraged.
Cliches? Sure, But worthwhile
ones.
