Fifteen per cent less recruiters, half the job Industrialist Says Nation Needs Individual Thinkers Only a nation of ''free men, : free to think for themselves, en couraged to think for themselves, and trained to think (or them selves" can win "the conflicts which promise to abound in the world of the future," Dr. David H. Dawson, a vice president and director of the Du Pont Company, told the annual meeting of the Na tional Congress of Parents and Teachers. "If our educational system does not develop such persons, we are in trouble," he declared, because "technological superiority alone will not determine the winner. ' The future demands not only much greater training in science and mathematics to man its tech nological growth but also the un derstanding that is wrought by the "more demanding" of the social sciences and humanities, Dr. Daw son said. "What Ave need is not a genera tion of conformists. Rather, we need a generation of men and women who are able to think in dependently, and who have the will to think independently," he declared. There is an apparent paradox between this and the de mand of modern institutions for more and more teamwork, but suc cessful teamwork itself calls for this independence, he said. Industrial Requirements "The whole spirit of the future will require that men and women resist anyone who tries to force them into a mold . . Industry will continue to have as its great est need men and women who can and do think for themselves, who can be depended upon to act with out instructions from another indi vidual or group." While stressing the need for edu cation in technical fields, Dawson called the social sciences and hu manities "essential in enabling the individual to adjust himself to a world capable of destroying itself, and short of that, with hosts of problems apart from those pre cipitated by our advancing tech nology." The industrial world is going to require more basic knowledge of the sciences and mathematics "be cause the world of the future, from the microcosm of the atom to future space travel, will need such basic knowledge in order that our people can understand it and properly control it," he said. This means "the incorporation in our school curricula 'of an in creasing proportion of subjects generally thought of as intellectu ally more demanding not onlv mathematics and the physical sciences, but languages and the more developed social sciences," Dr. Dawson said. "The growing complexities of our physical world are indeed difficult of understand ing, and will be controlled and mastered only if our schools pre sent at an early age comparable difficulties." Fast Training lie pointed out that there will be students who are unable to grasp the more difficult things and pro vision should be made to prepare them to the extent possible for living in a difficult world. How ever, he said: "A system must be devised to keep all individuals learning at close to their maximum speed, and to avoid, at all costs, any tendency to slow the faster minds, even to a minor extent. Our problems of today and of the future are such that we cannot afford to waste our available brainpower through any educational system which does not train it at the fastest rate which it is capable of maintaining." He suggested competition to ac complish these goals and urged that the educational system itself be more competitive. "The fastest rate of learning will not be devel oped without proper motivation and certainly one effective means of stimulation is to maintain com petition between individuals." Dr. Dawson pointed out the changing nature of- jobs in indus try, the greatly increased need for skills demanding knowledge of sci ence, and the decrease in physical ly hard, unskilled work. With rap idly increasing mechanization, far greater skills are needed to oper ate industrial equipment and keep it in repair. Demands Outlined With the emphasis which has been given to this need, he said, there is some danger that the ed ucational system may be put out of balance in meeting that need Increasingly, the industrial world "will need more people with June Graduate Faced Flagging Job Market New Deadline Established A deadline for business to be I placed ou the Roieburg School board agendas has been let for June graduates were faced with of movement for every stale in Friday preceding Uie board meet- a sadlv flacein? lob market ac cording to a recent survey of col lege placement and job recruit ment officers. The officers say: The number of interviewers visiting campuses has dropped IS per cent below last year's figures. Recruiters who came had only about one-half the number of jobs to offer. And start ing salaries, if they were higher at ill than last year's, were up only by about three percent. In personal terms, these hard facts mean that about half of the class of '5S the lower half were still looking for employment by mid-summer. This holds true es pecially for liberal arts majors. But even engineers, usually the royally of graduates, will have placement problems if their grades were not exemplary. ability to observe, to understand to analyze and solve problems and to report and make clear the results and consequences of their solutions," he said. "Our educa tional system should produce well rounded people, with a sufficient variety of interests to employ profitably their new leisure, and to adjust quickly to the growing com' plcxities of the world in which we live ... Our development in the future is going to demand a degree of understanding and support beyond anything previously known. With out such understanding, there can not exist the climate essential to the successful functioning of our free enterprise, democratic sys tem. And that understanding can hardly be achieved without more effective educational procedures capable of adaptability to the more mediocre as well as the more able minds it attempts to train."

It is narrated by Raymond Massey. Sack Styles To Shine In Lower Grades CHICAGO li - The fall school bell swings the sack and the tra peze fashion into the classroom. Styles in children'svear are fol lowing the lead of grown-up fash ions. No less an authority than Carl Bauer, president of the Chil dren's Wear Assn., predicts that tne sack won't be sacked. Some children's wear manufaC' turers have gone as far as to show 75 to 80 per cent ot their lines in these new fashions, he says. But he thinks the average will hit about 60 per cent between the chemise and trapeze with 40 per cent in what he terms conventional styl ing. In the style trend for tots, plaids are important. There are kilts. There are knits and knit trims. There also is a change in color with russet brown and gold tones important, together with blue greens, shades of Burgundy, royal blue and green. So if Mother thinks she may es cape the sack by waiting out the trend, she may have a 'long wait. "It boils down to this." Bauer says. "The new fashions are a must in the fall wardrobe of the children of America. This is tre mendously exciting because for the first time in years there is some thing new and fresh." But opinions pro and con still persist. One observer comments: On most tots, the chemise and trapeze look better than on Moth er, who often resembles a flap per of the roaring Twenties. Takes First Offer "My colleagues on other cam puses." one middle western col lege placement director said, "are telling their students what I tell mine: Don't shop around. Take! what you can get at least for' the time being." in the case of top-nonor UDerai arts graduates, the figures show, this means taking the first or sec ond otter that comes along be cause there probably won't be any more. For technical people with the best qualifications and recommen dations, there will be about four offers. For everybody else, one offer or none. These figures are about half of what they were last year or in the past five years. t "Employers," most college offi cers agree, "are playing it cozy. They're in the driver's seat. They can afford to be selective, taking only the top students with the best 1 personalities." . - j Employers Disagree I Employers, however, disagree. ' "It's got nothing to do with the driver's seat," an engineer-recruit er said. "We just want to wait and see what happens with the economy." But the prospect of unemploy ment does not touch every de partment in the university. A graduate in any field with a doctor's degree will find employ ment this year. A mathematics major with only a bachelors' degree can have not only one job, but many. The de mand still outweighs the supply. Teachers are still in demand, es pecially those in chemistry, phys ics and physical education. There is still a need for retailing majors, salesmen (and women) and accountants. For the most part, starling sal aries are just about where they were a year ago: $475-500 per month for engineers; and $380-400 for non-technical personnel. Travel Necessery The by-products of this year's soft job majket, placement officers say, will be an unusual mobility and a new interest in government employment. "A UCLA student, never dream ing he might have to leave sunny California, may find himself mov ing to New Jersey because there's a job for him there." a dean said. "And you dan translate this kind the country Jobs with the government, usu ally the last to be filled, will prob ably have many more applicants than they've, had in the past 20 years, employment people predict. The placement problem for grad uates, however, has the seeds of hope for employers too small to recruit on college campuses. But if there is cause for con cern in college placement offices, there is also alarm in the admis sions department. College enrollments, off this year, will still be small next year. The expected crush of freshmen applications has now been put off for another two or three Septem bers, college recruiters say. And even with a decrease in job op portunities for graduates, gradu ate schools show no increase in applications. ing. This is a new policy. It has been made so that board members will have the opportunity to get ac quainted with items that will come up at the meeting. Board meetings are held the first Wednesday after the 10th of each month. All information, requests, peti tions and reports relative to school business must be submitted to Supt. M. C. Deller. The absolute deadline for business to be placed on the agenda will be .a.m. of the Monday preceding the board meeting, Deller said.
