Prof. Ros'enberg also discussed
several other contemporary draw-
ings and a woodcut.
"There are two objections to my
thesis," he stated.
"First, analysis is too narrow an
approach and we must also relate
to content. The second is that
abstract art can hardly be a great
work of art without great subject
matter."
"As for the first," Prof. Rosen-
berg said, "I did not suggest neg-
lect of all other considerations;
only that through formal organ-
ization can we comprehend the
artistic value of a work apart from
the subjective means of personal
likes."
Content Great
"Concerning the second," he
commented, "content in contem-
porary art is as real, as great,
and as, elevated as that of any
other period."
"If content is all-important we
must throw out many paintings
since the 17th century when the
movement to sublimate subject
matter first began."
"This is a philosophic question;
we only want to find workable
criteria for discerning quality in
modern art."
"Modern art likes to move in the
twilight of consciousness and in
content is somewhat intangible,"
he concluded.
PROF. JAKOB ROSENBERG
. . . discusses art
However, in comparison to a
contemporary, he complained of
"harsh hard outlines" and the
"lack of gradations."
Prof. Rosenberg also discussed
a Cezanne, which, though "not
strictly contemporary," has been
one of "the chief inspirations to
modern twentieth century art."
He cited the picture of a land-
scape with nudes for its "rhyth-
,cimal elements which play in all
directions" and the "easy inter-
play of forms and space,"
He pointed to a somewhat later
SUPER MAXIMUM PAY:
Teacher Merit System
Succeeds. In Connecticut.
.4i
Teachers can be paid like busi-
ness executives on merit as well
as seniority, the school board in
Canton, Conn. is proving, accord-
ing to Superintendent of Schools
H. B. Jestin.
Here in Ann Arbor the public
school system is considering a
similar plan for "supermaximum"
pay. A committee of teachers
working with the board of edu-
cation is developing an equitable
and sound means for compensat-
ing teachers who are considered to
be superior.
A merit system has been work-
ing successfully in Canton's schools
for four years.
The National Educational As-
sociation has for years resisted
proposals to introduce the merit
pay raise.
Two years ago, in Indianapolis,
teachers threatened to strike at
the mere suggestion of a merit
pay system. They said it would
produce all kinds of jealousies and
back-biting in the schools.
"It has not done that -in Can-
ton at all," Jestin declares. "It
simply has produced more educa-
tion for our money."
About 40 per cent of the teach-.
ers in the Canton school system
have qualified each year for the
'superior' rating in merit evalua-
tions by their principals. Conse-
quently they receive as much as

Code Hearing
Ferris Crawford, state assistant
superintendent of public educa-
tiori, will conduct the final local
hearing for the proposed Teacher
Certification Code at 8 p.m. to-
day in Aud, A.
The proposed changes to the
certification code provide for cer-
tification of school superintend-
ents and community college in-
structors, and increased require-
ments for provisional certificates
on the elementary and secondary
levels.
This hearing is sponsored by
the local Student National Edu-
cation Association Chapter.

organization.
The YAF's will also discuss plans

double the regular seniority salary
step-up in some years."
Jestin believes that the merit
pay plan can be used by any
school system, no matter how
large, if sufficient time and effort
is taken to adapt it carefully to
local conditions.
"School boards interested in the
merit pay should realize first that
it's not a way of pinching pennies
-it's pretty sure, to run the pay-
roll up instead of down, because!
every teacher has to be allowed to1
try for the merit raises," Jestin
says.
"But in the long run it will
be economical because it enables
the pupils to learn much faster."
League Phtns

The Women's League "Get To-,

League, said.
All the League officers, commit-
tee chairmen, and committee
members will be there to answer
any questions undergraduate wom-
en may have concerning the
League and the positions open to
them, Miss Hyatt said,
"The purpose of this 'Get To-

the League among the undergrad-
uate women. It will be informal
and everyone is welcome. Peti-

Shaw T o Lecture
On Lung Cancer
Lung cancer will be the topic
of a lecture to be given at 8 p.m.

Prof. Shaw is chief engineer of

Southwestern Medical Colloge he
is clinical professor of surgery.
The "brilliant failure" may be
the victim of mutiple aptitudes,
John~son O'Connor, head of theI
Johnson O'Connor Research Foun-l
dation, believes.
Despite the fact that his num-
erous aptitudes would appear to
insure his success in college and
in his career, the opposite is fre-
quently the case.- .
The student with multiple abil-
ities may perform brilliantly
through high schodl, but may in
fact became completely lost in
college. There he may frequently
change his major and is even
likely to drop without obtaining a
degree, O'Connor pointed out.
In a job for which he apparently
has every aptitude, this individual
,may be unsuccessful because his
unused aptitudes tend to "get in
the way.'
"These people with many apti-
tudes should be the most brilliant
people we have, and instead they
are completely lost," he said. "We

just do not know what to do with
them."
The aptitude tests administered
by O'Connor's organization are de-
scribed as "work samples" since
not all require writing. The tests
are presently used for eighteen
or nineteen separate aptitudes, in-
cluding tonal memory, structural
visualization, number memory and
foresight.
In studies conducted at the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology, the Johnson O'Connor Re-
search Foundation noted that suc-
cess increased as the number of
strong aptitudes went up, until a
maximum of four or five was
reached.
"The nine-aptitude man almost
never graduates," O'Connor said.
"I feel that it goes back to kin-
dergarten," he explains. "The child
who succeeds easily at everything
is highly praised and never learns
to work, while the person with one
aptitude learns to work almost
from the beginning. -,
"The person with many apti-
tudes works at something untilhe
hits a problem, and then it be-.
comes easier to change his field
of interest than to work odt the
problem."
If young people with many ap-
titudes could be discovered early
enough, O'Connor suggested, he
could be given a solid foundation
in each aptitude as it developed.-

By FRED KRAMER
East Hall, the brick home of the
engineering English department,,
will be demolished this spring to
makeroom for the new physics
and astronomy building.
A stone tablet reading "Tappan
School-1883" reminds us of the
building's origin as Tappan public
grammar school in Ann Arbor. It
ws sold to the University in
1922 for $76,000, re-named East
Hall and repaired. Shce then, it
has served as the home of the
old engineering language depart-
ment, the engineering English
department and the literary col-
lege's German department.

EAST HALL ' Built in 1883, the present home of the engineer-
ing English department, will soon be demolished to make way
for the new Physics .and Astronomy building. The buildinghas
been called a "fire trap" for twenty years.

Subject, to final approval by
the Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare, the Univer-
sity has acquired two government-
owned properties at Willow Run
Airport, Congressman ' George
Meader (R-Mich) announced yes-
terday.
The transfers, which were given
preliminary approval by the United
States General Services Adminis-
tration, are the 30th Air Division
installations, now vacant, and the
Packard hanger, which has been
leasedbby the. University since
November, 1959.
A spokesman of the Departnent
of Health, Education and Welfare
said in Chicago yesterday he could
"foresee no obstacles to the im-
mediate transfer of the property
to the University."
The spokesman said the land
would be deeded at a 100 per cent
public discount-with no cost to
the University.
A provision of the agreement
will require the University to use
all the property's facities for
twenty years.
The Air Division installation in-
cludes a total of 31 buildings with
approximately 115,000 square feet
of space on 133 acres of land while
the hanger has approximately
50,000 square feet of space and~ is
located on a 23-acre piece of land.
University officials indicated
the new areas would be used for
expanding the research activities
of Willow Run Laboratories, which
are a part of'the Institute of
Science and Technology.
Rep. Meader estimated the mar-
ket value of the Air Division in-
stallations at $425,000 with an
acquisition cost' of $615,465, and
the Packard. land's fair market
value at $400,000 with an acquisi.,
tion cost of $615,465.
ed with the building, but there are
many complaints," Prof. George
M. McEwen of the engineering
English department said. He.
pointed out that parts of' the
building have been used as storage
areas. He recalls the incident of
six years ago when someone dis-
ceovered a number of old howitzer
shells in the basement.
When asked if he felt any
nostalgia with the passing of the
old edifice, Prof. Ivan H. Walton"
of the engineering English depart-
ment, who has taught there since
it was purchased, said, "When
a building has been condemned as
a fire hazard for the last 20 years,
you can't be too nostalgic."
