Education Investment
Return Unsatisfactory
uarbondale. 111. (U.PJ Amer
ica is not getting a fair return
on its investment in education
because gifted high school stu
dents are not prepared for col
lege, Illinois educator says.
Douglas E. Lawson, dean of
the college of education of South
ern Illinois University, criticized
teachers who fail to encourage
competent students to take basic
courses in high school to prepare
them for college.
But he added that all high
school students should not be
encouraged to seek higher edu
cation until "colleges make more
adequate provision for technical
training substantially different
from typical present-day callege
piograms."
