Spineless Educators Berated By Chicago University Man
"Most educators are spineless," says a Chicago University professor, Dr. A. J. Carlson, who was quoted recently in an article in the Chicago Daily News. The complete article follows:
The average teacher today in America is a spineless creature afraid of his own shadow, and instead of taking pride in his profession he's apologetic about it, said A. J. Carlson, chairman of the physiology department of the University of Chicago and president of the Association of American University Professors. And he unloosed a salvo of verbal artillery at the schools and colleges of the nation. Dr. Carlson made these charges:
"Our secondary education system is too far removed from modern life.
is too far removed from modern life. "Teachers in our schools and universities need more freedom of expression.
Easy for Rabble-Rousers
"The jobs of the teachers must be made more secure.
"A natural consequence of this situation is seen in the hysterical frenzy of the followers of every rabble - rouser that crosses the American scene."
Too Much Attention to the Past
Too Much Attention to the Past Amplifying his reference to the secondary school system, he advanced the belief that some knowledge of the past was necessary in order to understand the present and get the proper perspective on the future.
"This overemphasis placed on the past takes up so much time that the average student knows little of what's going on around him until he leaves school; as a tragic result, since less than 5 per cent of the high school graduates go on to a university, they go out to take up the duties of citizenship without knowing how to think." D. Carlson said.
Exercise greater care in the selection of raw material for the teaching profession.
Assuming that all these counts in the indictment are true, what's to be done about it? Dr. Carlson offers this corrective program:
Instill in these people a pride in their vocation, pointing out to them the responsibilities of leadership, which the teaching profession entails.
The Parents Must See Problems Dr. Carlson would also bring the subject of education into the homes instead of letting it rest in the hands of educators; and he would like to see the parents realize that the schools and colleges are conducted for the benefit of their children, that the schools and colleges must be responsive to the needs of the the people.
He went on to say that education is now in the hands of professional educators, most of whom rotate among themselves, that they have acquired a patter all their own, a patter that is not understood by the layman at all; as a result, he said, the average parent throws up his hands, shakes his head and sadly confesses that he knows nothing about educational matters.
"And that attitude is all wrong."
Dr. Carlson exclaimed.
Public Opinion Will Do Much "What can be accomplished?" he questioned.
And right at this time, in his opinion, education is a live subject. It has been taken out of the archives of the universities and brought before the public for discussion.
Public Opinion Will Do Much
"Just this: An enlightened public opinion can improve our educational systems so badly in need of improvement, but I want to repeat that we must have educators who are not afraid to talk—educators who have the courage to face public ridicule in order to get results.
"Educators who are not clerks, who are not ashamed of their profession. Men who dre to face the issues now before the colleges of America.
T. H. Vaughn, Winfield, K. U. Alumnus, to Wed
The Neodesha Sun recently quoted the following article from an Oklahoma City newspaper, concerning a University graduate, T. H. Vaughn, who is well known in teaching circles throughout the state:
Mrs. Fred L. Bohme of Oklahoma City announces the engagement and approaching marriage of her sister, Miss Gladys I. Nelson, of Hastings, Neb., to Mr. T. H. Vaughn of Winfield. The wedding will be an event of late summer.
Both Miss Nelson and Mr. Vaughn are well known in Winfield, particularly by the many young people with whom they were associated as instructors in Winfield high school. More recently Miss Nelson has been teaching music in Hastings college, Hastings, Neb.
Miss Nelson is a graduate of Northwestern university at Evanston, III., and she had graduate work at Chicago Music college with Herbert Witherspoon. She has studied with Frank La Forge in New York City and spent the summer of 1935 studying in the musical centers of Europe. For several years she has been connected with the fine arts faculty of Hastings college as voice instructor and head of the musical education department. She will spend the summer at her home in Hastings.
Mr. Vaughn is a graduate of Southwestern college. He received his master's degree from the University of Kansas and at the present time is chemistry and physics instructor at Winfield high school. He is assistant principal at the high school, coach of boys' tennis and sponsor of the Hi-Y organizations. For many years he has been on the staff of directors of Cheley Camp for boys, near Estes Park, Colo., the past few years having been director of the older boys camp there.
He will leave the middle of June for Denver where he will meet a group of boys who have attended the camp in previous years. Together they will make a five weeks' trip through the Pacific Northwest and up the Pacific coast almost to the Alaskan border. They will tour Yellowstone and Glacier parks and spend several weeks camping on an island in Puget Sound, off the coast of Washington.
The University commencement committee met at 4 p.m. yesterday in the alumni office to check over commencement details. A meeting of this sort is held each year following commencement.
Committee Meets
The course in Introduction to Theater Arts will meet in room 103, Green hall, instead of in the Green hall Little Theater as previously announced.
