If : we are to achieve this objec tive, we as individual mem . bers of the profession must constantly strive to improve . and increase our professional skills . . . Equally important is the climate in the school '. system . . .

He added, we must develop a society that can see change and put such into ac tive channels of use; educa tion will be changed drasti cally In the next ten years if we want to survive, and real civil defense is in the child's mind. The nation that can so gear Itself to the acceptance of new ideas in the child's mind and education, and in the least time formulate the most productive uses of its ideas, will prevail in control of the world . . . Anyone is a scien tist who had a natural birth and managed to keep his birthright, his natural curios ity, initiative, and interest in observation, the supervisor said. An optimistic picture of the universe seems to be that it is programmed by the Cre ator to keep creating life. We are lucky ones on such a planet, he said in closing.

(UPI photo) Nothing New in Styles, Says Fashion By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York (DTD There's nothing new in fashion, only new adaptations of the old, says a fabulous fashion his torian. The mink coat can be traced to the first bearskin worn by a cave woman. As for the new spring hats, they're old hat, says Charles Lederman. Even the pillbox which Mrs. John F. Kennedy has made her personal trade mark is ancient Lederman traces it back to the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti's headdress 3,500 years ago. Ancient Fashions More than a dozen of the hats in the Lederman collec tion of ancient fashions are on display this week at the nineteenth annual National Antiques Show at Madison Square Garden. They include: A pillbox dating to the Renaissance of the 16th cen tury a red velvet number with rich, silver-metallic em broidery. A gold brocade turban 400 years old, examples of which have shown through the centuries including during the reign of Napoleon, when the Empress Josephine adopt ed it. The turban is a hit hat fashion again for spring 1963. A beret from the reign of Queen Mary Stuart of Scot land. The beret has been in vogue for centuries. An original lace hat of Martha Washington, dating about 1785. Lederman said the wife of the first President admired the laces worn by the Cardinal Richelieu's court and introduced them as trim ming on women's apparel. Bonnet Hat A biege silk bonnet with MEDFOHD models an original "pillbox" Historian flower trimming dating from 1800. Queen Luisa of Prussia liked the bonnet hat. And, an other straw bonnet of the Civ il War period, 1860. An original automobile hat, used to keep milady from being windblown in the early, open cars. Lederman said Queen Vic toria produced the "little hat," flower-trimmed, and the style was favored during her reign. Flowered hats are perennials on the spring scene. Men s hats are just as old hat. Lederman said the Puri tan hat, which Benjamin Franklin introduced to the French when he was an am bassador, was the forerunner of the Lincoln-type stovepipe and today s top hat. Fashion History Lederman, 66, educated in history at the University of Berlin, has been interested in fashion's history since and has been collecting almost since his student days. European royalty, presi dents of countries, have pre sented him with some of the items in his collection. Others he gathered himself while liv ing in Germany and since he and his wife migrated to America in 1939. Today, his collection In cludes 10,000 items from 45 nations. "Fashion above any thing else betrays the wishes, dreams and ideas moving a certain time," he writes in his "You and Fashion," a his tory. "Dress just as much as art and literature reflect a coun try's culture," said Lederman, whose collection probably classes as the most extensive one of fashion in the world. It includes 2,000 years of handbags, gloves, hosiery and hat styles; 4,000 years of fab rics, needlecraft, art needle work, cosmetics, jewelry and table settings. Men's fashions, corsetry, lingerie, beachwear, and children's fashions also are included. Spanish Gloves Lederman called the collec tion priceless "How can you replace a Spanish glove from the 15th century?" he asked. It is Lederman's greatest dream that one day his collec tion can be put on display in total in a fashion museum where millions could study apparel through the centuries. Lederman said the Ameri cans contributed the sewing machine, clothes sizing, pat terns, mass production and most of the new synthetics to fashion. But he added that the French grabbed, and have held on as the most influen tial internationally, because during the reign of Louis XIV they "were the first peo ple to realize what a powerful force fashion was to become." It was then that he men tioned the influence of Mrs. Kennedy on what American women wear. I asked Lederman why she, as one woman, could set off such a multitude of copyists. "Because," he said, "she has knowledge." The inference was that some of the rest of us do not.
