Many Officials Claim Lack Of Motivation Contributes To Dropouts, Unemployment (Second of three dispatches.) y By RAY CROMLEY Ntmniiier Enterprise Ann. : WASHINGTON (NEA)-An un employment counselor in nearby Alexandria. Va.. savs. "Em ployers I meet complain that the youths we send them can t oe hired because they don't have proper grounding in elementary school mathematics, reading ana .writing. '"We could train them ourselves : In the specialized skills we need." one employer said, "but they . don't know simple math well enough and can't understand what they read." Tn Boston.

Some hands are mighty easy to play when J-ou are looking at all the cards and very hard to play when all you see are your own hand and dummy's. North was one of those players who refuse ever to open a four ' card major suit, so he selected one diamond for his opening bid. ' South jumped to three diamonds ' bi1, after North tried three ' spades. South gambled it out at ' three no-trump. " West decided the best chance to beat the hand would be a club opening end he placed the deuce of clubs on the table. East's Jack lost to Smith's king and it was up to South to take it from there As you can plainly sec, South can run off four spades and four hearts and leave the last four tricks for the defense, but South was only looking at his own ' hand rind North's. No one had told South that the hearts were ' going to break and that clubs would not. ', He cashed two hearts Just tn see what would happen. There was a chance to drop the jack but that it tailed, South was right back to his original problem He f i n a 1 1 y concluded that West's deuce of clubs had been fourth best and that he could af ford to lead a diamond instead of a third heart. Needless to say, .he was wrong. West grabbed his ;ace of diamonds and played are ;and another club to let his part ner bring in the rest of the suit. ting the Ice" for 25 to 35 per cent ol the students. Two examples of the trend; In a North Philadelphia delin quency target area, the school dropout rate is 65 to 70 per cent. The citywide average is 37 per cent. Of the children entering first grade in West Virginia in 1048, 41 per cent graduated in I960: 59 per cent dropped out along tne way. Cities spotted through the U.S. are re-evaluating their school pro grams along a broad front. There is widespread feel ing among workers with unem ployed and delinquent youth that something is wrong with the schools and also agreement that they don t know the solution. Schools are turning to expert mental programs. One charge made by many educators themselves is that they are tailing to motivate a good portion of their youth. In hear ings before the Senate committee, city officials and citizens working with delinquent young peoplei nave been concerned that schools are not "instilling a sense of values in children, or the recog nition of duly, responsibility, ob ligation, pride and patriotism." Jn a good many schools, voca tional education isn't available. A government survey showed that of 3,733 public high schools in six states canvassed, only 5 per cent offered commercial courses; only 9 per cent offered trade and industrial courses. Much vocational emphasis is on jobs that are disappearing or: aireaay overcrowded. The Virgin ia Mate Division of Industrial Development and Planning re- porst: "In 1961-62 some 42 per cent of the (Virginia) vocation al educational budget exclud ing home economics and teacher training was spent for vocational agriculture. Approximately 13.000 Virginia youth were enrolled. .Most of Uie farm youth, if they are to realize a decent standard of living, will have to move away irom tne rural community into employment that is not closely connected to agriculture." Testimony given by representa tives from 14 cities before the Senate committee brought out these two points: Vocational training even for open occupations is not, as giv en, suited to the automated in dustries of the present. Courses are not taught in such way that many of the stu dents see a relationship between the subject math, English history, literature, science and work and life after graduation. Here then are some of the ex pcriments: In Washington, D.C.,' 10 return ing Peace Corps teachers will teach in Cardozo High School this fall. The goal: to see if the "imaginative approaches used by Peace Corps members overseas can be effective in urban schools here." The Boston Youth Opportunities Project is developing prckinder- garten classes to prepare chil dren from "culturally disadvan taged families" for the first grade. In Minneapolis, women church volunteers are working in a test project with the first, second and third grades in reading after school. This fall, in Philadelphia, 15, teachers from a delinquency "tar get area junior high school will be trained to increase their abil ity to work with the unusual problem of pupils from under privileged homes. Syracuse, N.Y., is putting into operation a combination school- in-the-morning, work-in-the-after- noon program for potential Junior high dropouts. In Rural Lane County, Oregon, they're cutting back on some traditional academic and voca tional courses, running surveys of what occupations are open, and revising their curriculum to meet the needs. In Fairfax, County, Va., and in Flint, Mich., are offered a varie ty of volunteer summer school courses and enrollment is higher than expected. All over the country there is a growing support for two-year technical community colleges to train young people as technicians and technical assistants in many occupations. The Detroit Youth Commission has recommended that required courses in high schools should inform young people of their competitive position. The commis sion says a course should be offered which affords! the oppor tunity for group discussion of occupations, a systematic com parison of one job with another and an understanding of the dif ferent ways to earn a living -kUkf?

In honor of the occasion, a group of us got together and gave old Univac a little retirement party. Some party! Socially speaking, we were breaking new ground. Not even Peile Mcsta, the hostest with the mostest, ever threw a party for an electronic computer. The pioneering spirit that ev eryone felt was expressed very nicely by Commerce Secretary Luther H. Hodges, who was called upon to say a few words. 'All of us have attended re tirement parties for old and faith ful servants of the department or the company," Hodges said.

For that mat-: ter, how can you give a machine a gold watch with an appropri ate inscription engraved on the back? In lieu of these traditional re tirement party rites, old Univac was presented to the Smithsonian Institution. Which is the easy way out. If ever you have something that you want to get rid of but are reluctant to throw away, you can always solve the problem by presenting it to the Smithsonian. Dr. Leonard Carmichael. Smithsonian secretary, who al ready has custody of 57 million other musucm pieces, said o 1 d Univac would be placed on pub lic exhibit as an inspiration to "generations yet unborn." Since retired computers aren't entitled to social security, it is nice to know that old Univac will have a good home. N Hodges noted that two new "generations" of computers have come into being since the origin al model was installed at the census bureau on March 30. 1951. "So here is Univac a grand father at age 12 and ready for honorable retirement," he said. I don't know the name of the second generation computer, but I assume it is called son of Uni vac." At any rate, the new ones can tabulate about three million items per minute, whereas the best old Univac could do was about 30.000. So it is easy to understand why old Univac had to be put out to pasture. Clearly, it was over the hill.
