Town Discovers Way
To Turn Out Scientists
FLINT. Mich. (NEA) - This
Michigan town has found a way
to turn out scientists as fast as
the Russians do or faster.
It all begins in the second grade.
Teachers watch for boys and girls
whose hands are always up ask
ing questions. Then subtly they
give them science on the side.
In the fourth grade, the science-
talented youngsters are pulled
from their classrooms one morn
ing and an afternoon a week. They
work in pairs on whatever they
want ionic propulsion of rockets
space stations, what makes milk
go sour.
By the seventh grade they're In
special science experimental class-
A LADY AMHERST PHEASANT enjoys a roost on the arm

Death Claims
Opera Worker
GUELPH. Ont. (AP) Edward
Johnson, who overrode parental
objections to a musical career and
won world fame as a tenor and
as general manager of the Metro
politan Opera, died Monday nignt.
The 80-year-oia star oi siage
and management collapsed while
walking to his seat for the opening
performance of the Canadian Na
tional Ballet nere in nis nome
city. He died a half hour later of
coronary thrombosis.
Johnson will be bunco in tnis
southern Ontario city where he
started as a choir boy. Funeral
arrangements awaited the arrival
from London of his only oaugnter,
Mrs. George Drew, wife of Can
ada's high commissioner to Brit
ain.
A lvric tenor. Johnson won rec
ognition from such greats as Ca
ruso and John McuormacK as one
of the world's finest. His career
as an opera singer ran for
years and on three continents.
He became general manager
the Metropolitan two months after
his retirement from the stage in
1935, holding the post until his re
tirement in 1950. He kept the ven
erable house going through depres
sion and war. His championship
of American artists and of the
weekly broadcast performances,
and his revival of the company i
tours of the United States and
Canada helped make the Met
national institution.
From 1946 until last year he was
chairman of the board of the Roy
al Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
es a double period every other
day. In the 10th grade, the junior
scientists take a year of biology
the first semester, a year of chem
istry in the second. In the 11th
grade they push through two years
of history in one year.
These talented young men and
omen will finish high school half
ay in their senior year. Then
they'll begin junior college class
es in mathematics, science and
English.
In the next few years, young
sters of the "genius" class will
move ahead even faster in hurry-
up studies. They'll finish their high
school work in the 11th grade.
Then they'll, complete one year of
junior college before they grad
uate" from high school.
Plans are being made to en
able every one of these talented
youngsters to go to college,
matter how short of money he is.
If a boy or girl needs a scholar
ship, they 11 get one.
But this isn't the whole story
in this city whose "Community
Schools are open six days a week
and where the citizens and the
school board are not afraid of experimenting.
Anv bov or girl in Flint wheth
er classified as specially talented
or. not can get as much science
as he wants. And hundreds are
doing it on their own time, with
out credit. v-
In elementary school, there are
special science workshops one aft
ernoon a week or on Saturdays.
Anyone can join. These continue
through junior and senior high
school. There are special volun
tary science workshops 10 weeks
in the summer for students who
want them.
For high school young men and
women there s a special cnemis
try workshop two hours every Sat
urday morning 9:30 to 11:30 at
Central High, a chemistry and bi
ology workshop every Tuesday
evening at Northern High from
30 to 9:30 and an electronics
workshop every Wednesday eve
ning in the basement of the old
administration building. Cost: 10
weeks for $1.
Any student who shows an in
terest in science or in being a
technician can secure a scholar
ship in the night school and com
plete at least the first two years
of advanced training without cost.
It s too early yet to tell tne re
sults of the Flint experiment. The
first class of the specially talent
ed has now worked its way up
through junior high school, is
now in the 10th grade. But al
ready some strange things have
developed.
Hundreds ot students are stay
ing after school on their own time,
and are coming back on Satur
days and in the summer to study
science voluntarily and without
school credit. .
The special science students are
carrying their new Ideas back
to their own classes, stepping up
scientific interest in the whole
school.
But things dont always run
smoothly. The other day one of
the talented fifth graders of Selby
Community School almost didn t
get to his science class. He was
busy playing marbles and torgot.
