AID TO EDUCATION:
Hook Cites National Efforts
By JOHN CONLEY
math, and foreign languages,
The United States Office of which all received federal funds in
Education is NOT interested in a the nost-Snutnik fervor to im-
national curriculum. It does NOT
want to control education. It
DOES want to cooperate in raising
school standards and urgently
hopes that Congress will make
more money available to strength-
en English studies.
That was the message that J. N.
Hook, coordinator of "Project
English" in the United States Of-
tlce of Education brought to yes-
terday's session of the Conference
Series for Teachers of English.
A winner of the Hatfield award
for long and distinguished service
to his profession, Hook was for-
merly a professor of English at
the University of Illinois and, from
1953-1960, executive secretary of
the National Council of the Teach-
ers of English. He has written The
Teaching of High School English
and texts on grammar and usage.
Pleas Answered
Hook described "Project Eng-
lish' as an outgrowth of repeated
pleas since 1958 by the Council of
English Teachers that their field
be supported, along with science,
Pollock To Speakr
On Con-Con Action
Prof. James A. Pollock, of the
political science department and
delegate to the constitutional con-
vention will speak on "An Analysis
of Convention Action" at 4:15 p.m.
today in Aud. A. The lecture is
one in a series on "The Michigan
Constitutional Convention" under
the auspices of the Summer Ses-
sion.

prove the nation's educational
product.
The pleas were heeded a year
ago to the tune of $500,000 to aid
English instruction in the U.S.
Hook became the project's coor-
dinator last February.
The veteran educator described
how the money is being spent: sev-
eral high-school-curriculum study
centers are in action; programs
are being planned for the cultur-
ally deprived; support is to go to
studies in structural linguistics;
research is under way for building
writing skills in secondary schools.
Special Projects
Hook also pointed to research
studies from Florida to Washing-
ton dealing with matters such as
teaching English to the deaf and
blind, improving the English of
those in backward or special-dia-
lect areas of the country, and as-
sessing procedures in teaching
composition.
Prof. Hook said that nothing
more dramatically illustrates the
vital need for better English than
the fact, as he asserted, that half,
of what you pay for every car
goes for words. Pay $3,000: $1,500
goes for words! Half of every tax
dollar also goes for words, he said.
Agency Sympathetic
Citing his agency as one sym-
pathetic to the goals of the teach-
ing of English, Hook says the so-
called "Quality Education" bill.
now pending in Congress may
pass. With it would go an imme-
diate $24,000,000 to give support
all across the country to such in-
stitutes in the teaching of English
as are being conducted at Ann Ar-
bor and elsewhere this summer but
under private auspices. Increased
annual support would follow, if
the bill is adopted.
In the question period Hook re-
asserted the opposition of the Of-
fice of Education to any kind of
national curriculum. "It's counter
to the whole American tradition,"
he said, "which stands firmly for
local control of schools."

YR's Motion
Hits Stahlin
For Attack~s
The Michigan Federation of
Young Republican Clubs rapped
lieutenant gubernatorial candi-
date Sen. John Stahlin (R-Beld-
ing) for his attack on 14th District
GOP Chairman William Durant
and mapped strategy for the fall
campaign at a meeting in St. Clair
Sunday.
A resolution attacked Stahlin's
charges about Durant's alleged
extreme right-wing views and his
attack on several conservative YR
members, federation president
Steven Stockmever, '63, said.
The resolution had first come up
at the board's June meeting, he
explained. However, it was delayed
at that time and a milder resolu-
tion was introduced and passed
Sunday, Stockmeyer said.
Cites Resolution
"The June resolution was a 'we
like Durant' resolution. The sec-
ond one said 'we don't like Stah-
lin's action'," he explained.
An expected motion in defense
of Stahlin by Albion YR chairman
Kinball Smith was never intro-
duced, Stockmeyer noted.
The meeting outlined three
plans for the fall campaign. It set
up a "first voter drive" in which
campus YR groups would encour-
age registration and supply forms
for students eligibleto vote.
The YR's also set up "task
forces" to work in areas "where
the Republican organization is
weak," Stockmeyer noted. The
forces, recruited from the various
YR clubs would canvas neighbor-
hoods on weekends to aid the Re-
publican organization.
Past Methods
He said that such forces had
been used in past campaigns, but
never as extensively as planned for
this fall.
The plan was a drive to estab-
lish a YR chapter at every univer-
sity, college and junior college in
the state. The club currently has
28 chapters in the state and
Stockmeyer estimated that, seven
or eight more could be established
if all the junior colleges were cov-
ered.
Creating a center of inner calm
is a major challenge to today's'
music teachers, Karl Haas, direc-
tor of fine arts, WJR, Detroit, said
yesterday at a general session of3
the 33rd annual Summer Educa-
tion Conference, "The Humanities
in the Age of Science."
"This isn't easy because in this1
technological age we are all bom-t
barded by stresses that take from
us that extra supply of adrenaline.
"We must face this challenget
first in our own lives before we1
transmit to those in our charge.1
Then it will be within our powert
to imbue young minds with the
ability to strike the right balancet
between the sciences and the hu-
manities," Haas said.,
Sees Growtht
Haas said he believes America
is growing on the creative musical
scene. "Across the country we are
employing composers in residence.
They don't have to worry where
their next meal is coming from.'
Haas deplored the increasing
use of music as background "while
r"Technological
Achievement
Hides Values
"The dazzling achievements of
science tend to blind us to the
other values of life," Prof. Carle-
ton Washburne of the Michigan
State University education school,
said here yesterday.
He spoke at the opening general
session at the 33rd annual Sum-
mer Education Conference on
"The Humanities in an Age of
Science."
"Applied science has given man
a technology for satisfying a mul-
titude of desires, bad and good,
trivial and sublime, lethal and hu-
mane. It has added immeasurably
to man's comfort and freedom
from drudgery," said Washburne.
"But it has given power to crim-
inals and degenerates as well as
to men of good will. It has given
man power to save lives, but also
to exterminate whole populations,"
he continued.
"Science does not determine
goals, ideals and values. It is ap-
plied to means, not ends. It is
limited to those aspects of knowl-
edge that can be found through
analysis, measurement, and con-
trolled experiment."
"The really great scientist is
aware of the limitations of sciene.
He knows how small a fraction of
man's aspirations can be satisfied
by science alone," he said.
we do the darnedest things. You
can walk through the aisles of a
supermarket today and listen to
Brahms' second Symphony. Per-
sonally I resent this," Haas said.
"And I think Mr. Brahms would
too. His music was meant to be
listened to with complete concen-
tration."
Too Accustomed
The danger as Haas sees it is
that we may become so accus-
tomed to this kind of subconscious
listening that we get bored going
to a concert.
"We're so spoiled that if we go
to a concert and hear the first
French horn 'fluff', we suffer as
if we had studied music since the
beginning of our thinking career.
"Personally I think one of the
finest freedoms we have is the
right to be wrong. How wonder-
ful it is to hear an artist make a
booboo! It proves we aren't ma-
chines!" Haas concluded.
