•Post-War Educational Problems Discussed Dr. Donald M. Erb, president of the University, has just returned from San Francisco where he attended the western regional of the council of state government on post war plan ning. Dr. Erb spoke to the group on post-war education. More young men and women should be in higher educa tional institutions than at present, Dr. Erb told the grouo. Ejvery student who could actual )y profit, both for himself and society, from higher education should get it. This will call for financial assistance for college students on a greatly expanded scale. . . Suffice it to say that |^iere must be more public schol arship funds to enable student with limited resources to have a free opportunity for college at tendance.” ABCs Important In view of the sharp wartime increase in birthrate Dr. Erb pointed out the acute need for new school buildings. “The back log of delayed new construction caused by the war will be ac companied by a need for capital improvements due to an impend ing physical increase in the size of the school age group. The size of the group will also aggravate the teacher-shortage problem, and I look for that problem to be serious after the war unless very positive and intelligent steps are taken to solve it,” he stated. After emphasizing the need for « reform in the curriculum of merican schools, Dr. Erb said, “Learning to spell, learning to read, learning to solve problems in arithmetic, learning the rudi ments of history and geography, have got to be part of the ele mentary school curriculum no matter what else suffers. Young sters at the most impressionable age must be compelled to master tasks, even difficult or unpleasant ones, or take the consequences.” In conclusion Dr. Erb summed CLASSIFIED ADS WANTED—Late model standard typewriter. Call Don Frisbie, 758. r up his ideas on the subject: “The improvement of education in the post war period ... is going to demand’ largely increased finan cial support—first, for better paid and better trained teachers, and more of them; second, for more and better buildings, better equipped; third for a strengthened and varied curriculum, including a considerable expansion of vo cational education; fourth, for a return to a system of selective education; and, fifth, for the sub sidy of students of demonstrated ability who cannot go on with education if they have to rely on their own funds. All of this is true if you agree with me that education is one of the strong est forces if not the indispensable prerequisite to, the effective func tioning of a democratic govern ment.” Governor Earl Warren of Cali fornia was general chairman of the conference and Governor Snell of Oregon presided at one of the sessions.
