•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

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.”
