MEDFOHP MAIL THIBUNS. MEDFORD ORJ SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 12. 1961 Education Reviewed By SOC Professor Ashland - "Though the con cept is not new, the need for comparative education is be coming more and more im perative," according to Dr. Anthony E. DeSoto, Southern Oregon college assistant pro fessor of foreign languages in reporting on the National Con ference on Comparative Edu cation, at the University of California, last week end. Approximately 600 profes sors representing Latin Amer ica, Western Europe, Asia, Africa, United States, and Canada attended the confer ence, which was sponsored by a number of nationally known educators and educational or ganizations. Among those representing the sponsoring organizations were Dr. Howard E. Wilson, dean of the school of educa tion, UCLA; Dr. Paul Hanna, Stanford university; Dr. Ger ald Reed, Kent State univer sity; Dr. Oliver J. Caldwell of the U.S. office of education who delivered the keynote ad dress, and officials from the Ford Foundation, UNESCO, U.S. office of education, Inter national Cooperation adminis tration and United Press In ternational. "By Comparative Educa tion," Dr. DeSoto explained it is to be understood as an at tempt to establish an integra tion of international knowl edge by a comparative study of methods and techniques across national boundaries on specific fields o endeavor. Dr. DeSoto said that pres ent day political international developments have made peo ple realize they have to be in creasingly dependent on other human beings, and, what is worse, that within a few years the whole of the human race will be within the range of the artillery fire of the rest of the human race. Because of this frightening development, isolation has be come obsolete and national policies must be reshaped, in ternational goals reviewed and relations at home and abroad with other human be ings, regardless of race, color or nationality must be re evaluated. The world can no longer ad here to the old concept of "Educate the best and shoot the rest." Nor can it cling to the goal of universal medio crity. Education is now and will have to be used as an in strument of U.S. national and international policies. "Through research across national' lines, joint studies with other peoples in the world, in short, through edu cation, we will achieve our democratic ideals," Dr. De Soto noted. "In this attempt at world wide communication be tween countries, the language factor is great. Languages must no longer be a barrier separating the various people, one from the other, where a basic togetherness must exist." Universal education by com parative means will become the foundation of a stable so ciety if the minds of the young people are strengthened. Dr. DeSoto pointed out that in many ways, the year 1961 would go down in history as an- important year in educa tion because of the advances in achieving comparative edu cation - an educational en terprise designed to reach be yond national frontiers. . iff s iLv . . :fV I if '8 rl "' B ft Jk: VOICE VIA MOON This is a diagram tralia.

Jncobson, district manager of the Med ford social security office. "For benefits to be paid to an individual or his family when he reaches retirement age, dies, or becomes dis abled, he must have worked under social security for a certain length of time," Jacob son said. Just how Ion? a person must work depends upon their date of birth, or when the payment of survivors or dis ability benefits is involved, upon the date of death, or onset of disability. Can Become Insured "Under the new law," he pointed out, "many people can become insured for the pay ment of retirement or sur vivors benefits more quickly." Many older people who did not work for the length of time required under the old law will now be eligible for payments. Anyone who was told in the past that they did not have enough work under so cial security to qualify should get in touch with the social security office to see if they are eligible under this change in the law, Jacobson said. 'As an example, anyone who roaches retirement age (65 for men and 62 for women) this year will need to have no more than 3.i years of work. Until the change in the law, a person of this age would BRAIDED OVA JUST ARRIVED!
