Dr. Faust stated that the func tions of the educational system were that the 'elementary school furnsih the tools and foundation and the trade school give the spe cialized training. Midway between there should be the liberal arts col lege or the college in a large uni versity teaching all who have the reading techniques to reflect on what they read. “Knowledge is not memorization but a knowledge of principles which lead to concepts.” The elective system was criti ' eized by Dr. Faust as a “vast cafe teria of courses” which has gone to the exti "me in allowing the stu dent complete freedom in deciding what is best for his or her “General Education.” “The sound philosophy of gen eral education would be to take the theories of the conventional, student-centered, practical and cul tural theories which are inter-re For dependable, enjoyable day-to-day radio entertain ment . , .

One of the main goals in life of this couple has been the desire to direct a community meeting place that is' entirely non-denominational and non-political and where all people can air their views on topics of current interest. “We want this to be just what the name implies, a friendly place for everyone to meet," is the way Mrs. Bryant stated their purpose. The Bryants especially stressed that the program to be carried out is not one that will be set down ar bitrarily right away, but will de velop according to the needs and wishes of those who participate.
