German, U.S. Education
Compared by Speaker
Education of Germany has been
intellectual and academic while
American education has been in
strumental and progressive, said
Werner Richter, rector of the Uni
versity of Eonn, Germany, in a
Werner Richter will address a
University assembly at 1 p.m.
today in the Student Union ball
room. Richter will speak on an
other phase of “Re-educating
Germany.”
The educator will be presented
In a coffee hour forum this aft
ernoon at 3 in the Dad’s Lounge
of the SU.
University assembly Wednesday
night in the Student Union ball
room.
Richter called German education
rigid and absolute, a transmission
I of heritage, rather than the “life
in school'' of American education.
German life, according to Richter,
i is free for the higher pursuits.
Education is not for “fitting in
dividuals to the society,” he said.
“Ideal of community life of
| American society has never been
! realized in German society,” said
Richter. “In fact,” he added, “there
is no equivalent for the word ‘so
cial life' in the German language.”
Human relations must be
brought to th^ German people;
they must have social intercourse,
said Richter. Germans need col
j lege life and dormitories because
they “don't know what community
campus life is,” he declared. “The
ideal of freedom must be felt,”
he added.

Korrect Kount
“It was nothing, really/' said
Associate Editor A1 Karr, blow
ing the ashes off his cigar.
Karr, in an advance story on
yesterday’s election, made an
exact prediction of the number
of votes that would be cast. Giv
ing a hypothetical example to ex
plain the working of the prefer
ential voting system, he ex
plained how selection would be
made if 2,076 cast valid votes in
the election.
He hit the number right on the
nose. When the polls closed, ex
actly 2,076 valid votes had been
cast.
According to Algernon Integer,
math department numbers man,
odds against coming up with the
right number are 8,900,763,444 to
