Thunderbird Market IOZIER LANE Woman Pays By Being a Stewardess New York - Marie Louise Hurley, a tiny coed from Baton Rouge, La., is working her way through college on a jet plane. Miss Hurley is an airlines stewardess who commutes to Europe between classes as casually as you or I start out for a Sunday drive. Educator Deplores "Momism" By BARRY LOCKE United Press International .Burlington, Vt.-IUPll-A Uni versity of Vermont official says mothers aren't necessar ily good educators. Dr. Raymond V. Phillips, director of the Summer Ses sion and the Evening Divi sion, said "the thing that qualifies a person least to have any notion on how to raise a child is the act of motherhood. "Yet, these are the 'experts' who would usurp the educa tional system at the public school level." Dr. Phillips, a popular speaker for PTA meetings, said the trouble with educa tion today is that "too many of us went to school and therefore consider ourselves experts." He said "everybody be comes an expert merely by at tending school, whether grad uating or merely completing first grade. Then they try to supercede the real experts, those trained in education." Phillips expressed deep dis satisfaction with "the Mom ism expert who tries to dic tate school policy, cither through PTA or by belabor ing harrassed school offi cials." "People don't tr to tell a contractor how to construct his building or a pilot to fly his plane," he said. "So why do they consider themselves more qualified to run' the educational system?" He also blasted "mother popular theory" that this generation is going to the dogs. - , "There is no way to check the student of today against one, say, of 20 years ago to prove that one is better or less educated than the other," he said. Phillips said lie's "all for Interest in the schools-but I want fewer experts, less Momism and less condemna tion of the present school sys tem and those connected with it." works in progress, a quantity of colored and textured pa pers, fabric and string, fea thers, beads and buttons, a handful or two of pipe clean ers were turning out Imagin ative art. For children of mechanical bent, or too impatient to wait for the paste to dry, the mu seum thoughtfully provided stapling machines as well as paste. ROSS LANE for College "Peggy," as she is known to friends and family, is a junior majoring in psychology at the City College of New York. She also holds- a full- time job as stewardess with Pan American . World Air ways, working on a flight which leaves New York each Friday morning, goes non-stop to London, and then on to Brussels and Ducsseldorf , where it lands at midnight, Duesseldorf time. She has Saturday free to sight-see and study or visit a sister teach ing in a language school at Essen, Germany. Sunday morning, Peggy boards the jet to work her way home via Amsterdam and London, arriving in New York -with the time gain flying west-by early afternoon, giv ing her the rest of the day to prepare for her 11 hours of classes Monday through Thursday. Luck of the Irish "Lots of people wonder how I do it," she said, in an inter view at her apartment. "But this is the jet age, and with the luck of the Irish I haven't missed a class yet." The stewardess has been with the airlines since 1954 and said she had worked in every division, which means she has traveled Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific. "You can ask for a transfer to a new division after one year," she explained. "Some girls don't like to move around that much. But this is a good way to see the world and with the airlines paying transpor tation, hotel and food . . . well I often wonder how I'll get back to the routine." By attending summer class es, she hopes to finish college in January, 1962, and then teach handicapped children. Peggy Hurley is a little girl for such a lot of going. She's brown-haired, brown-eyed, 's five feet five inches tall, but weighs a mere 99 pounds. "All, of us Hurleys have good teeth, small bones and tiny waists," she laughed. "Mine's 21 inch es," she replied when asked about waistline. . The stewardess is 32, the third from the youngest In a family of 11 children. Her mother is Mrs. Daniel Hurley, 72, a widow living m Baton Rouge. "1 first thought Id be a nurse," she said, "and I had two years of training. But I'm either blessed or cursed with a good I.Q., and decided may be I should become a doctor." Long Look at Herself She studied at the Universi ty of Tennessee medical branch at Memphis, then transferred as a pre-medical student to Louisiana State university. But in 1954 I took a long look at myself," she said, "and found I wanted to see what the world was like, before tying myself down to a perm anent career." When she decided in 1959 to finish her college training, vocational guidance experts suggested a field where "I could use that I.Q. and do something for others." That is why her chosen field is the handicapped. The stewardess - coed lives in a small Manhattan apart ment whose furnishings in clude an ancient upright piano painted a bright lacquer red. She Is taking piano and ballet lessons, is studying Chinese painting, is a mem ber of the college's modern dance society, and makes all her clothes. How does she find the time for all these interests? "Oh," 'she laughed, "I'm the neat and organized type. l m abominably efficient.
