TUESDA ft JULY 17,1962 THE MICHIGAN DAILY WAEf Wu~w5 11 £5LZ .USDY JL 1,192 H MCIGNDA1 rA(in ints 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. ..., r....., . .,..r. ,.... . : .., ... ---. ..i_ _s i 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." Sponsor Talks On Humanities The School of Education is sponsoring the 33rd Summer Edu- cation Conference this week. The theme for the conference is "The Humanities in an Age of Science." Prof. Arnold Kaufman of the philosophy department will speak on "The Place of Philosophy in an Age of Science" at 9 a.m. today in Schorling Aud. in the University High School.

The theme is "The Administra- tive Process." Speeches and panel discussions by college administrators will be held daily through Friday. All ses- sions will take place at the Rack- ham Building. William G. Shannon, assistant executive director of the American Association of Junior Colleges will give a report on Junior College Presidency at 1 p.m. today. 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.
