TitOv and Glenn

The CBS-radio neWscaster Wells Church made a
good point when he stated Sunday night that Just look
ing at Russian spaceman, Gherman Titov, and our John
Glenn, side by side, on '"The Nations Future" gives
us a real clue as to the difference between the Com
munist way of life and that of the free world.
First of all, the Russians call their man a Cosmo-
naut which comes from the Greek word for world"
while our spacemen are called AStronauts - a deri-
vative of the word for "star." Even the labels used then
indicate that the Russians are earth-centered and we
tend look out from our own world.
Everything Titov says seems to be studied. He is
a handsome man with some charm, but his answers
parrot a policy line. John Glenn on the other hand,
is o~pen-faced and candid and although he must con-
form to certain restrictions regarding top-secret in
formation, in general it is so evident that our space
efforts are above-board for all the world to see.
Another interesting phenomenon is that Titov,
paradoxically like many of the s%everest American cri-
tics of the Reds, doesn't appear to like anything in
United States.
When asked what he thought of Glenn's Friend
ship 7 capsule, he said it was very small compared with
his spaceship.
AS to space suits, Titov said his was excellent and
adaptable for all conditions, but he wasn't so sure
about our product.
Earlier in talking about New York City, the Rus
sian said he didn't like it. He was not too impressed
with Washington either.
In desperation the interviewers asked him what
he thought of the American people, but even here he

1T Is precisely the enor-

showing trashy movies and catering to a lower ele-
ment, but that he would not do so because he is aware
of his responsibility to his patrons and his community
to instil in his place of business a wholesome atmoS-
phere.
U IN ALL THESE areas of entertainment it is
up to decent individuals to do something about the
level of entertainment. Movies are a wonderful med
ium and if we allow them to be perverted and film
making abused it is our own fault.
To repeat a basic truth here: Movie production,
distribution and exhibition is a BUSINESS. And as
with any business the customer will receive what ne
demands. If he will not patronize the cheap and the
shoddy and the immoral, he will get what he will pa
tronize. The customer is always right when it comes
to the kind of product provided for him.
Movie producers and theatre-owners do have a
real responsibility to their patrons, especially the
young, as we'll as to the community in which they live.
But it is up to the public to make them aware OF the
seriousness of the responsibility. cAF

JOSEPH BREIC
Large classes
aren't so bad

| have been noticing of
late that many parents
are troubled over the fact
that the growth in school
age population has push
eel upward the number of
children in most classes.
Parents, | have found, tend
to take for granted that 10th
er things being equal) a boy
or girl will learn more in a
small class than in a large
class, because of more indi-
vidual attention from the
teacher.
Personally, l have had my
doubts about this. In the
schools | attended many
years ago, classes were large:
and they seemed to turn out
youngsters whose educations
would compare favorably with
almost anybody's.
FURTHER l have
watched the schooling of my
five children. All of them, all
through grade school, were in
large classes. When they
came to take entrance exams
for high school and college,
they made remarkably good
grades.
1t did not seem to me that
all this could be explained on
the ground that my children
and |, and my classmates
back in the good old days,
were a pack of geniuses. So |
decided to see what ! could
find out on the question.
| made inquiries. were any
facts available? Had surveys
been made? Had children in
large and small classes been
examined, and their degrees
of learning compared? Ii so,
what were the results?
MY IMPRESSION that large
classes are nothing to fret
about was astonishingly con-
firmed by what l discovered.

On page 81, the author con-
siders the question of small
classes versus large classes.
He begins by observing
that it seems logical to as
sumo that children learn
more in small classes than in
large, and that a lot of effort
has gone into trying to prove
that this is so.
Mr.. FREEMAN then re-
ports that in the past half
century, more than 200 re.
search studies have been
made, comparing class sizes
with pupil achievements.
He says that the more i'm
portant of these 200 studies
were reviewed by the Ency.
clopedia of Educational Re-
search. Here is what the en-
cyclopedia reported about 70
of the surveys:
1874 per cent of the studies
resulted in findings "signifi-
cantly in favor of large class
es."
1913 per cent were in favor
of large classes, but not sig
nificantly so.
1874 per cent favored
neither large nor small class
es; that is, found no signifi-
cant difference.
Al per cent we're signifi-
cantly in favor of small class.
eS.
17.8 per cent were in favor
of small classes but not sig
nificantly so.
So MUCH FOR 70 of the
more important studies. The
encyclopedia then turned to
the results of "a controlled
studies"
OF these, 20.8 per cent
brought findings significantly
in favor of large classes.
29.2 per cent were in favor
of large classes but not sig
nificantly so.
The same percentage-29.2
favored neither large nor
small.
AZ per cent were signifi-
cantly in favor of small class
eS.
1866 per cent we're in favor
of small classes, but not sig
nificantly so.
Here is Mr.. Freeman's
comment:
ut appears then that 40
per cent of the research re-
ports favored large classes,
n per cent small classes.
"of the more recent, and
more scientifically controlled
studies, SO per cent favored
large classes, n per cent
small classes.
I'VE nofe then the amazing
fact that faetual research
studies found better than two
to one that pupil achievement
is higher in large than in
small classes" THE author
put that sentence in ~ifaIies.l
Mr.. Freeman observed that
the encyclopedia, summing up
(pages 214-215), said that "the
general trend of evidence
places the burden of proof
squarely upon the proponents
of small classes On the
whole, the statistical findings
definitely favor ..arge classes
at every level of instruction
except the kindergarten"
