Negative Response

In his letter to Shane MacCarthy,
the chairman of the citizens committee
which has warned of disgraceful disci-
plinary problems in the public schools,
District School superintendent Hansen
says, In part:
The Citizens Committee was asked to be
completely candid in assessing the causes Of
the stadium riots following the Thanksgiving
Day high school playoff football camel. The
chairman and committee were asked to spare
no punches. This they have done, and, despite
my personal conviction that the judgments
made are In some cases out of balance. even
perhaps, superficial. and, as to overall pupil
behavior. too highly generalzed. the report
has already been Of great value as stimulus
to an aggressive attack upon school problems.
This is a disappointing response
from public official of the stature and
abilities Of DR.. Hansen For while he says
the citizens report has great value"
his comment is essentially negative
one which damns that report with faint
praise.
No thinking person who read the
report had reason TO conclude that every
class In every District school is a jungle,
populated by young thugs over whom
the teachers have no control. Certainly
that is not the case But the implication
Of DR.. Hansen's remarks is that the
disciplinary problem in reality does not
amount to very much. And we suspect
that that is not the case, either.
AS the superintendent says, the
school administration is still preparing
an analysis of the MacCarthy report,
which will be presented when It is fin
ished TO the Board Of Education. This
report should deal with the disciplinary
situation not In generalities, but fully
and forthrightly. Whatever their dimen-
sions, the problems will never be success
fully attacked II they are avoided, or
covered up.

Omnibus School Bill

Not even its most ardent advocates
In Congress are able to work up much
enthusiasm over the prospects for enact
ing the new omnibus administration
education bill in its entirety. And indeed
one may wonder at the strategy of en-
comprising in a single package some
two dozen proposals for new and ex-
tended forms of Federal aid, covering
all levels of education, at cost (accord-
ing to one estimate) which might exceed
$4.5 billion over three-year period.
In his message accompanying the
bill, however, the President offers a
Succinct and, we think, a reasonable
explanation for this manner of presenta-
tion. "For education" he says, cannot
easily or wisely be divided into separate
parts. Each part is linked to the other.
The colleges depend on the work of the
schools; the schools depend on the col
leges for teachers; vocational and tech
nical education is not separate from
general education"
Consequently his proposals represent
an effort to deal with the most pressing
needs which exist on each of these levels.
For grade schools, as in the past, the
goal is the alienation of serious over
crowding in the classrooms, coupled with
an improvement in teaching quality. BY
1870 increased facilities of all kinds will
be required to accommodate so per cent
more students in the high schools. On
the college level enrolment will increase
on an average of 100000 annually, nearly
doubling the present number within the
next Is years, and requiring estimated
expenditures in that period of $23 billion
for additional facilities more than
three times the quantity provided over
the last decade.
These are SOLDERING statistics Even
If one questions the precise accuracy Of
such estimates, the problem of adapting
education to the greater and changing
demands of modern society remains one
of the most pressing and real challenges
of our times. As an illustration of the
change wrought by scientific advance
ment alone, and by the increased de-
mandS for highly-trained technologists,
Mr.. Kennedy cites the startling finding
that ninety per cent of all the scientists
that ever lived arc alive and working
today" The less dramatic demands for
superior training in other fields are
hardly less important.
Nor are selective and reasonably
controlled forms of Federal aid threat
to the freedom Of educators. AS the
President points out, the excellent ex-
perience with land-grant colleges and,
for that matter, with half dozen other
programs, amply demonstrates that fact.
The needs of which the President speaks
should receive early and earnest atten-
tion. We join in his hope that at least the
most urgent Of these needs will not again
be submerged by congressional indul-
gence in "the luxury of endless debate
over all the complicated and sensitive
questions raised by each new proposal
on Federal participation in education"
Evening star., 1963-01-31
Exercise in FutiIity'

Test votes will come and test votes
will go, but nothing will bring back the
nearly three weeks of time the Senate
has spent in its biennial Shadowboxing
about changing its anti-filibuster rule.
Thus far 1t has produced only fringe
benefits Of mildly amusing nature
such as something less than a learned
debate on whether the vice presidency is
hollow shell or great and vital office,
or, In more personal terms, whether Vice
President Johnson has become figure
head or dictator.
There are ironies in all this, of
course. One is that those who have been
pressing hardest for greater restrictions
against talking have been doing the
most talking. These restrictionists are
known generally as liberals" even
though Webster's New International
Dictionary defines liberal as zone who
favorS greater freedom in political j.
matters" Among these Senate liberals,
too, are some who have been very quick
to rise in filibustering freedom against
causes not to their liking.
But there are some liberals, also,
who are tired of this fitting at windmills.
Senator Aiken of Vermont, identified as
Republican liberal, has suggested that
1t is all a mistake while more vital issues
await attention. And Senator Pastore of
Rhode Island, Democratic liberal, sug-
gests that confusion is being compounded
upon confusion in this exercise in
futility."
We agree with this bipartisan as
sessment, and trust that the way will be
cleared very shortly for consideration of
more meaningful matters.
