Spirited Discussion at Adult Education Meeting
Spirited discussion of the significance and purposes of education in American democracy marked the second annual Adult Education conference, which opened at the University this morning and will close at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Opening the meeting in a panel discussion led by Dr. W. E Sheffer, superintendent of the Manhattan schools, were Dr. C. E.
Opening the meeting in a p Sheffer, superintendent of the M Rarick, president of Fort Hays State College; Dr. P. B. Lawson, dean of the College, Dr. John Ise, professor of economics, and Mrs. Elizabeth Reigart, member of the Board of Regents.
"We still can build for ourselves the sort of society we desire and we can become for ourselves that which we most desire to be...but we must have a people who have the ability to govern their own lives with honesty, frugality, moral uprightness and the daily practice thereof," said Dr. Rarick in his talk on the objectives of self-realization.
Dr. Lawson, speaking on the objectives of human relationship, stressed respect for humanity, friendship, cooperation, and courtesy. He laid special emphasis on the "softness" which is becoming characteristic of American life, saying that "never before have we had so many people taking things so easily—the pride of being self-contained seems to have slipped over the country. . . We debase ourselves when we look on our country as a place to eat and sleep."
Citing the fact that America has the most efficient class of labor in the world and that most people who are idle all the time to show their respectability, Dr. John Ise declared that more than half the total wealth
of the United States has been wasted because they haven't worked together. He said that if America is to avoid becoming a totalitarian nation, its people must learn collective as well as individual efficiency.
Mrs. Reigart in her speech on the objectives of civic responsibility stated that the time has come for Americans to take stock of themselves to find out what is their skill and weakness in preparation for whatever eventualities lie ahead in the light of the fact that democracy will endure only so long as its people are fit to govern themselves.
Stimulated by the discussions of the four members of the panel, the representatives of the various educational organizations in the state in attendance at the Conference debated until noon the ways and means by which adult education as an organized force can meet and challenge the issues facing it with regard to citizenship responsibility.
Following the noon luncheon and afternoon discussion, the conference group will plan for an Adult Education Council in Kansas and elect a committee to organize and sponsor such a Council.
