Conant on Teacher Education
James B, Conant is one of this nation's most
distinguished citizens.
He has been an outstanding scientist, presi
dent of Harvard University, wartime science ad
visor to the government, ambassador to West
Germany, and has held dozens of lesser but still
important roles in the nation's behalf.
Since his "retirement," he has performed still
another function that of investigator and con
structive critic of the nation's elementary and
secondary gchools. It is entirely possible that this
latter role is the one he will be longest remem
bered for.
IN THIS day of committees to investigate and
survey and report, Conant's work is that of
an individual, and the findings are published in
his name, although he had a staff to assist him.
Two previous books have grown out of his
studies, one concerning high schools, the other
about junior highs. But his most recent book is
apt to be the most controversial of all, for he has
stepped into the long-simmering conflict between
"educationists" those who put the emphasis on
teaching methods in the training of teachers
and the "academicians" those who put the em
phasis on adequate preparation in subject matter
in training teachers.
He calls for greater cooperation between the
two camps. But it is obvious in reading his rec
ommendations that his heart is with the subject
matter people, not the methodologists.
e e
OIS book, "The Education of American Teach-
ers," hits hardest at present methods of teach
er certification. He would eliminate many of the
tradition-hallowed criteria for such certification
(calling the whole process "a nuisance" which
"ought to be simplified"). And he calls upon
the colleges and universities to use greater intel
ligence and initiative and
preparing iuture teachers.
Aside from academic preparation and the
backing of the institution
graduates, Conant would require only a period
of successful, supervised practice teaching. He
feels this is important far more important than
meeting certain arbitrary certification require
ments. ,
Space prohibits a detailed review of his find
ings and recommendations, but in essence he is
calling for a real revolution in the education and
preparation of teachers.
DUTTING his recommendations into effect
would require action at all levels in local
school districts, by legislatures and state educa
tion officials, and by colleges and universities.
In any long-entrenched group of profession
als, change comes slow and hard, and it is too
much to hope for that any significant degree of
change, along the lines he
overnight.
But his book is clear
It is bound to have a
though change comes slowly.
Change for change s

intelligent look at problems and possible solu
tions is not only desirable, it is inevitable.

ers and students. b.A.
Orchard Labor Problems
Medford district fruit growers, long confront
ed with a "public relations problem" of telling
local people about their problems, how they go
about solving them, and how important the indus
try is to the economy, are going at it more posi
tively than at any time in the recent past.
Some days ago they invited a representative
group of valley residents to visit the farm labor
camp near the airport, to have lunch, and to hear
discussions of the problems encountered in find
ing fruit pickers for the short and crucial harvest
season.
Those attending were impressed not only
with the magnitude of the problem, but with the
constructive manner in which is being handled.
State and federal officials were high in their
praise of local fruit men for the cooperative pro
gram that has been w-.ked out.
rpHE story is well-known to many valley people,
but it bears periodic repeating.
Local labor sources simply are not adequate,
in numbers, or willingness to do the hard work,
or in availability, particularly after school opens.
Migrant workers are often unavailable during
the period when fruit must be picked.
Itinerants arc cither unavailable, or unsatis
factory, or both.
The answer, in most cases, is to supplement I
what labor forces ate available with contract'
workers from the southwest, and with Mexican
nationals the braceros brought from Mexico for
farm work.
fpHli solution, as w ith many complicated prob
lems, boils down to a series of make-do's and
compromises, none of them wholly satisfactory,
but which, in combination, do the job.
It is expensive, it is inconvenient, it requires
a high degree of cooperation among the fruit
growers (who arc pretty individualistic cusses,
mostly), and it should have the understanding
and sympathy of the community.
We are pleased to see that, at long last, the
fruit men are going out of their way to seek that
understanding and sympathy from their friends,

Why Send Two?
To the Editor: Yesterday my
husband and I received our Vot
er's Pamphlets. Since we are
both registered in the same po
litical party and reside at the
same residence, this is my
point:
Why send two?
I recall reading in a past
Tribune an article which told
of a bill to abolish this thing.
The saving was $150,000. This
bill was defeated. Why?
Why pay a publisher this
amount for something as un
necessary as this, when there
are much more worthwhile
things to spend it for, such as
education, welfare, etc.?
It states in the Voters Pam
phlet 450,000 school children
will be victimized by a no vote.
Now if that is true, and no
doubt it is, who would be guilty?
The legislators set the fore
going example.
Why threaten our children's
education for lack of funds and
make such foolish expenditures
as above?
Another thing that comes to
my mind is the furor over pris
oners working on construction
of women's I penal) quarters,
etc. The objection was, the
prisoners deprive organized la
bor. Why not let them earn
their keep, and at the same time
remove another financial burden
of the state and taxpayers?
Most homemakors soon learn
what is necessary and what is
not, when they must maintain
a budget based on a husband's
monthly income. Often times
the income is subjected lo lay
offs due to low market prices,
inclement weather and what not.
Furthermore, when they do
make a blunder, stupid or other
wise, they must make do, as
there arc no other funds from
which to draw. Most certainly
they cannot raise taxes to offset
a mistake.
So before all the threats to
education and welfare, etc., per
haps it might be well for our
state legislators to do some re
vamping along these lines. No
doubt there very well could be
more of these types of situa
tions. I believe most people don't
object to taxes, especially when
their money is wisely spent, but
when they are being threatened
with more taxes and the money
has been squandered In the past,
then I think they are entitled
to question and object to any
new tax issue.
I urge voters lo compare their
last year's income tax return
with the new rates and sched
ules in the Voter's Pamphlet.

Class Rule!
To the Editor: What is the
cause of teenage crime? Al
though this is a serious problem
in other countries as well as our
own, statistics show that the
United States leads in youth
crime.
Teenage terror is most ram
pant in slum areas, but it is sig
nificant that delinquency is
hardly less common in the sub
urbs and among sons and daugh
ters of the rich. Anti-social atti
tudes are certainly not class
limited. In fact, they may well
exist as commonly among peo
ple of adequate income who
commit more sophisticated and
subtle offenses and who are less
frequently arrested or convicted
for their infractions of the code.
While children of the working
class automatically acquire po
lice records when they get in
trouble, children from upper-income
groups have their delin
quencies, even crimes of vio
lence, treated as "pranks." All
thoughtful adults shudder in
wardly over the implications of
teenage crime. Although the
crimes are often shocking in
themselves, there is also the ut
ter absence of reason and hu
man feeling among many of the
perpetrators. Judges, social

grain-exporting nation to one

workers, psychiatrists, police,

explanations for this animalistic
behavior. Violence on television,
broken homes, parents too en

not enough police, etc., are some
of the "answers" given by those
supposed experts on teenage
crime.
The fact is that youth-crime
co-exists with class rule, and
there is, therefore, no solution
to the problem as long as class
rule exists. It is a monstrous re

ORE from Moscow: )
Priemier Khrushchev is out
vn one oi nis numerous trouoie-
-
His virgin lands project had
not been a s tccess and it an-
peared he now was abandoning
a previous belief that the Soviet
Union's growing population
needs could be met simply by
expanding acreage.
Instead, the emphasis now
would be on irrigation and a
vastly expanded output of fer
tilizer. Contributing also to the dis
aster were the weaknesses
which annually plague the So
viet agricultural economy low
incentives, inadequate transpor
tation facilities and a shortage
of farm machinery.
At any rate, as the premier
said, the U.S.S.R. was in a "dif
ficult position."
For Canada and Australia, one
man's loss was another man's
gain.
From Canada alone, Soviet
buyers purchased nearly seven
million tons of wheat in a record
$500 million deal which scraped
the bottom of the bins of Can
ada's exportable surplus.
From Ottawa, where U.S.
wheat dealers were meeting
with a Soviet delegation, came
reports that the Soviets wanted
still more and would buy up to
200 million bushels from the
United States if the U.S. gov
ernment would authorize it.
Wheat has been on the U.S.
list of goods embargoed against
sale to Russia and such a sale
would require a major change in
U.S. policy.
There also was the virtual
certainty that if the United
States sold wheat to Russia
some of it would find its way
back to Cuba.
But the temptation also was
great. The U.S. government held
more than a billion bushels of
surplus wheat and another bil
lion was on the way.
Crop damage suffered by the
Soviet Union and by much of
the remainder of Europe al
ready had benefited U.S. farm
ers. Analysts already were predict

Senator Keating, the New

at the Right Wing for demand
ina a Congressional investiga
tion of folk songs. On the
grounds, says the Right Wing,
that these "Hootenannies have
been used to brainwash and sub
vert" us all.
The Senator is making speech
es about "Mine Enemy, the Folk
Singer." Which is very funny
and all that. But, personally, I
think the Right Wing's right. Do
you want to be brainwashed by
a hootennanny? It's enough to
give you nightmares.
Moreover, most authentic folk
songs are laments about love
and peace and that sort of thing.
Issues which definitely smack
of Left Wing tendencies these
days.
Is this fair? Of course not.
What our Nation needs, so that
we can be brainwashed equally
by both sides, are mort Right
