Little Peek
By OSWALD JACOBY
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
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

In honor of the occasion, a

The pioneering spirit that ev

tiree is a machine?"
A good question. 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.
