Dear DR.. Mason:

(Cal LII ANAoOAis
I am a freshman at q uni
verSity majoring In math
with a desire to be a secon-
Diary school teacher. There
are two reasons why I want
to be a teacher. First, be-
cause I enjoy working with
and helping people and, Sec
ond, because l would like to
try to do something about
the grading system.
Have you some advice for
mep p-D. H., Amherst, Mass.
Entering teaching for the
avowed purpose of effecting
changes will lead you to dis
appointment. Not until you
have won the confidence of
your fellow teachers, the
school administration, and
the community would you
carry much weight.
A resolve to enter teaching
and grade honestly and fair
ly is one that you could car
ry out without having to
change other people.
Dear DR.. Mason:
Although my son was sue
cessful in a military flight
program and became a pilot,
he was unable to master me-
chanical engineering courses
and had to give up. I Rave
examined some of his text
books and even after 30 years
experience in process indus
try. I am overwhelmed by
the complexity of subject
matterl / am dismayed by
the presentation as we'll. I
think people in education
should take a good look at
this. j. j., Eugene, Greg.
So much has been added
to our knowledge in the SCI
ences and engineering that
an engineer out of school
would be dismayed if he tried
to read a modern textbook
I grant that the books are
difficult to read. Authors with
both science background and
