Ellsworth Plans June Retirement
Bv Donna Engle
Maud Ellsworth, professor of art education, still radiates enthusiasm for her work after nearly three decades of teaching and advising Mt. Oread students.
In her tidy office, Prof. Ellsworth discussed her philosophy of teaching, her career in teaching and her plans for retirement in a Daily Kansan interview.
She will retire in June.
"Teaching is making a person want to know," said Prof. Elsworth, "but

I've learned 19 times as much from my students as I've been able to teach them."
Teaching Teaches
Teaching Teaches She said her 29 years of teaching on the Hill has taught her many lessons.
"For one thing, it is extremely
difficult to judge which of my students is the most successful.
"I don't count a person who is a college department head any more successful than one who teaches in high school and does a good job day after day.
"They are successful if they go out and teach well."
Prof. Ellsworth said she also has learned that money prizes are unimportant.
Contest is Personal
"Money prizes and blue ribbons are unimportant in art. We discourage children from entering contests because the only real contest is against oneself," she said.
"A child should work for the joy of learning, not for a visible reward."
A wide variety of curricular and extra curricular duties have filled Prof. Ellsworth's schedules for the past 29 years.
She teaches classes in methods of teaching elementary and high school art, she serves as adviser to all art education majors and she supervises the student teaching of art majors.
"I go out to see them (the student teachers) while they're teaching. It makes them feel that the University hasn't forgotten them," she said.
Art Programs Established
Art Programs Establish Prof. Ellsworth also teaches graduate courses in art education and helps schools establish art programs
She started the Children's Art Studio in Lawrence and directed it for 18 years.
She has given art lessons over the University radio station KUOK for the past 18 years. The lessons are meant primarily for children in rural schools who have no other form of art program.
Prof. Ellsworth is the author of
Professors Uncertain About Answers to World's Dilemma
Prof. Strassenburg said he does not believe the physical sciences hold an answer to the world's dilemma.
(Continued from page 1) certain that no solution to our world problem can be found without accepting the cardinal importance of human values, and that these cannot be treated mechanistically," he commented.
"In the long run the world cannot be helped by science. In the short run, more money rather than less must be put into research to enable
"I did not know there was just one dilemma, but if there is it is man's inability to get along with man, which is a social science problem," he said.
Bayles' Education Book Is Published
A new book by Ernest E. Bayles professor of education, has recently been published by Harper & Brothers.
The book, "Democratic Educational Theory," is a 266-page study of an educational program in terms of comprehensiveness, coherence and practicality.
Prof. Bayles is the author of a dozen books and monographs, including the widely used "Theory and Practice of Teaching." He is general editor of the Harper's Series on Teaching, educational consultant of Coronet Educational Films.
He is also editor of the Proceedings of the Philosophy of Education Society. He has written more than 65 articles for professional magazines.
us to avert a catastrophe with Russia.” Prof. Strassenburg commented.
He said science was the ability to describe simply what one has observed. He refused to identify science with the building of weapons of destruction.
"Science will not solve the world's problems. But it has been extremely useful in providing opportunities for improving the world in the past, and it will do so in the future."
"I agree that the problem of the world is a political and social one. I am abored at the political and social scientists inability to solve the problem." he said.
"I am willing to agree that there is a need for more money for social science research. However, you cannot withdraw support from the physical sciences because they are more successful and the social sciences are not," Prof. Strassenburg commented.
In a question and answer period which followed the debate, Prof. Laird said dollars for research are important, but that the attitude in a democracy toward the work of the people in the social sciences is more important.
Prof. Laird also said the biggest problem in the social sciences is the application of the scientific method to predict human behavior, which he said Prof. Strassenburg advocated.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has awarded $700 scholarships to two KU students. They are Robert R. Seacat, Emporia, and John H. Pap, Lawrence, both in the fourth year of a five-year architecture program here.

Seacat, who was given the Langley award, is a member of Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, Scarab, professional architectural society, and the student AIA.
Pap, who was awarded the Waid scholarship, is president of the KU student chapter of AIA and is regional director for the central states region. He is also a member of Scarab.
