No Radical Changes Declared Necessary In High Schools
San Francisco - (LTD - Dr.
James E. Conant, president of
Harvard university, made a
report on a two-year study
of American high schools to
day at the closing session of
the National School Boards
Association convention.
A summary of the results
was distributed to the 5,000
delegates Tuesday night. It
Highlights of
Eisenhower's
News Conference
Washington - (UPD - Follow,
ing are highlights from Presi
dent Eisenhower s news con
ference today:
-Responding to demands by
key Republicans that he take
a more decisive role in out
lining the aims of the GOP,
he said that if Republican
leaders did not know what
he stood for they had simply
failed to read, as carefully as
they should, six State -of the
Union messages and two plat
forms which the Republicans
themselves drafted.
-He would like to go to
Mexico in the near future, but
definite plans have not been
made.
Source of Pride
-He said American produa
tion and development of in
tercontinental ballistic mis
siles was showing remarkable
progress and should be a con
stant source of American
pride, not any reason for
hang-dog humiliation.
-As for the claim Tuesday
that Russia is now mass-producing
ICBMs, Eisenhower
doubted whether 100 per cent
credence in such statements
was justified.
-Eisenhower said he would
welcome conferences at any
time with Democrats, as well
as Republicans, in Congress
on pending legislation. He
said the same held for gov
ernors from both parties.
May Meet Truman
-He said he might meet
former President Truman for
the first time since the 1953
inauguration at a dinner here
next month celebrating the
150th birthday of President
Lincoln.

said that no radical changes
were required to improve
secondary education.
Must Support Schools
However, Conant said this
would only be true "if the
citizens in many localities
display sufficient interest in
their schools and are willing
to support them."

major speakers Tuesday. They
were California industrialist

CLASSROOM SHORTAGE
Washington- (UPD -Adequate
classroom space was lacking
for 1,843,000 elementary and
high school students at the
start of the current school
year, the Office of Education
reports.
Driver Given Doublecross
Chicago -(UPD- Edward
Meier, president of the 45th
Ward Democratic Organiza
tion, said a constituent came
to him with this complaint:
He got a ticket Tuesday for
driving the wrong way on a
one-way street.
About an hour and a half
later he got a ticket for driv
ing the opposite direction on
the same street - for the
same violation.
Me i e r investigated and
found that in the interval,
street crews had discovered
they put the one-way signs
up wrong and turned them
around. The unidentified driv
er will probably have to pay
both fines anyway, Meier
said.
ation; and Lawrence G. Der
thick, U. S. Commissioner of
Education.
Kaiser said more federal
money may be needed by the
nation's schools. He pointed
out that long with exploding
enrollments and shortages of
teachers, many districts are
faced with growing public re
sistance against tax increases.
Opposes Federal Support
He said he believed schools
could accept federal aid with
out losing local control.
Shuman disagreed. He said
federal support would mean
more education instead of
better, and urged the dele
gates to fight "creeping social
ism that is about to destroy
this country."
Derthick said the govern
ment will spend approximate
ly SI billion in the next four
years under the National Edu
cation Act. He indicated a re
luctance to push for addition
al federal aid.
"Our schools and the Amer
ican way of life call for sacri
fice and hard work at the
grass roots level," he said.
In his speech before the con
vention, Conant said he was
advocating abolishment of the
practice of ranking the grad
uating class according to the
DENY TROOP CHARGES
Mexico City - (UPD -The De

troops and heavy weapons in

Meaning of Degrees
Conant said there is a mis
understanding about the
meaning of a high school
diploma which has led some
people to urge that the re
quirements be "stiffened up."
He said he believed this
line of approach to the cur
rent problem was a mistake.
"To be sure, a high school
diploma does not mean what
it did 60 years ago," Conant
said, "but neither does a
bachelor's degree from a col
lege. "We must accept these
facts. The requirements for a
diploma, I think, should not
exceed those I earlier outlined
