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.

Social Security Law
Changes Reduce Amount
Of Work, Manager Says
'Changes in the social se
curity law have reduced the
amount of work needed to
qualify for benefits," accord
ing to Edward B. 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

Also, the survivors of work
ers who died after June, 1954,
and who were not eligible for
benefits previously, may now
qualify in many cases.
"Anyone who believe: they
may qualify for payments as
a result of this change in the
law should get in touch with
their local social security of
fice promptly," Jacobson said.

office is located at 1005 East
