THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, THE MICHIGAN DAILY FR WAY, acehng about Communism Berle To View Economy In Cook Lecture Series AMBULATORY PATIENTS: Dickinson To Start Medical Care Stu system and the Evanston Town-9 ship school system in Evanston,1 Ill., among others. Argument For The argument for teaching com- parative government has been suc- cessfully expressed by Ernest S. Pisko who says: "only by studying the Communist system and by comparing it with their own and other Western varieties of democ- racy will they (students) acquire strength through knowledge-the. moral strength needed in a politi- cal struggle of global dimensions." Certain advocates of teaching comparative studies note that teaching communism alone will give the students a biased view and it is necessary to instill the belief in them in their own, demo- cratic system. E. Merrill Root, in his book "Brainwashing in the High Schools," demands that the schools teach, through American history and c o m p a r a t i v e government' courses, that the democratic socie- ty is most advantageous and thus avoid the brainwashing which oc- curred in Korea. History Course Other advocates of teaching' communism to high school stu- dents-almost all persons agree' that the students should be on the senior high level at least and most prefer that they be seniors-see an American history course or study of European history as the vehicle for study. Prof. Frank Freidel of Harvard University and author of two American history textbooks of his own, writes "I feel strongly that any well-taught American history course should serve much more ef- fectively to conquer communism, than a rote indoctrination." He explains that a good history course would inculcate critical thinking and create flexibility of mind which would allow the stu- dent to "avoid making or swallow- ing pat answers." Michigan Bill Indicative of the interest shown in the field was a bill proposed in the state Legislature last year, asking for a statewide requirement of a comparative government course. The bill was passed by the House but killed by the Senate education committee. Sen. Thomas Schweigert (R-Pe- toskey), member of the committee who voted against the bill, noted that "the committee felt that the state should not invade the prerog- atives of the local school districts. "The district is the best judge of its own teaching facilities and textbooks and therefore is strictly a local matter." Government Course "I took a comparative govern- ment course in college which was fairly tough," the senator rem- inisced. "This course (in compara- tive government) was to be aimed at the high school level and the question must come up as to whether the youngsters at that lev- el are capable." However, Sen. Schweigert noted that if the school board felt that they could teach such a course with competent teachers and text- books, "they ought to offer it." Dipping into the future, he com- mented that the possibilities of reintroduction of the comparative government bill are high, although no such action has been taken yet., New Textbooks Similar interest has been shown, in the publishing world where new4 textbooks on communism or revis- ed texts dealing with communism are now coming out. In recent7 months, books on the history of, the Communist movement, the, philosophy of Karl Marx, Vladi- mir I. Lenin and Josef Stalin, the history of the Soviet Union and comparative government have ap-1 peared; both as texts and paper- back books. Last semester the Michigan re-, gion of the National Council of the Social Studies held a meeting, at the University to discuss the, topic. Although only approximately 100 persons were expected, about 500 teachers came, Prof. Stanley, Dimond of the education school noted. This, of course, shows the increasing interest in the field. The National Council of the So- cial Studies has yet to take a stand on the issue although in previous publications, it has supported ther student's right to learn about con- troversial issues. Major Block The major stumbling block to this type of course or even unit comes from the same public which in so many areas is pushing for such teaching. As Sen. Schweigert pointed out, often students go home and discuss what they are bein gtaught in school. "If they are learning communism it often puts the teacher in a bad spot." More and more, however, the schools are looking for ways to teach about communism to stu- dents. In more schools than not, the systems are initiating or thinking of initiating some sort of instruction in the field. New text- books in world history are dealing more with Russia and the 1918 revolution and the effect of com- munism on Asia and Africa than older books did. The University course, Philoso- phy 263, dealing with the philos- ophies of communism, fascism and democracy, is both a reflection and a leader of the trend. It doesn't appear that the high school student will gradute for much longer without a course or in- struction in communism. By BARBARA LAZARUS 4> The 12th series of William W. Cook Lectures on American Insti- tutions will feature Prof. Adolf A. Berle of Columbia University, speaking on "The American Eco- nomic Republic." The lecture series will be held at 4:15 p.m. each day on Feb. 11- 14 in Rackham Aud. Prof. Berle will speak on the emergence of a twentieth century political-economical ideology, the change conception of property, the "free market," t capital and pri- vate enterprise in his first lecture on Feb.11. His next two lectures will deal with an outline of the constitu- tional and legal bases of current organization. He will discuss fed- eral assumption of responsibility, the President and the Council of Economic Advisers, the functions of the Federal Reserve Board and the fiscal policy function of the President. On Feb. 13 Prof. Berle will in- clude discussion of the economic republic and the "so-called free market sector," corporation pro- duction concentration, the system of "oligopoly" and assumption of responsibility by the federal gov- ernment in fields still uninstitu- tionalized. The concluding lecture will offer a review of institutionalizing a minimum standard of lIi v i n g through welfare legislation.. Prof. Berle's career has includ- ed serving as United States dele- gate to the Inter-American Con- ference for the Maintenance of Peace in 1936-37, assistant secre- tary of state 1938-44 and, ambassa- dor to Brazil 1945-46. Prof. Berle continues to serve as a special consultant to the secretary of. state. The William Cook Lectures were established by William Wilson Cook so that the University could make a major contribution to study, teaching and dissemination of precepts concerning the Ameri- can way of life. He also donated the William W. Cook Law Quad- rangle and the Martha Cook Bldg. We of MARILYN MARK'S welcome y7u to use the facilities of our BEAUTY SALON Prof. David G. Dickenson of the Medical School will direct a two-j year study on the best methods of developing and using a maximal care facility for ambulatory pa- tients to be built at the Medical Center, Dean William N. Hubbard of the Medical School announced yesterday. The unit which will contain some of the most comprehensive outpatient treatment facilities will be planned by Prof. Dickenson under a $58,000 W. K. Kellogg Foundation grant given to the University last December. It will house approximately 200 patients who are capable of help- ing themselves and who do not need hospitalization. Varied Rooms Facilities will include physi- cians' consulting rooms, examining rooms and special treatment rooms as well as "pleasant rooms for patients and relatives," he noted. "Recreational facilities will be provided and patients will have a high degree of personal freedom. Prescribed routines will be held to the minimum required to meet the patients' treatment needs," he added. The new facility, Prof. Dicken- son declared, "will provide a tran- sition period between hospital and home for the convalescent patient, during which he can be encourag- ed to assume increasing respon- s.,ility for his own care and still receive expert assistance when he needs it." Outpatient Housing It will also provide housing for outpatients whose entire diagnosis and treatment can be accomplish- ed without hospitalization. The facility will thus .release beds in the general hospital for seriously ill patients. Citing the. facilities' teaChing potential, Prof. Dickenson assert- ed that he "expects this kind unit to become the pattern progressive medical care in cc munities; therefore, medical dents, physicians in train therapists, nurses and others the health care team should corporate in their training exj ience in such a setting. They t ,should be able to apply it in tl own communities with gre skill and understanding." No specific site has been sel ed for the facility. Save 20%T on Book~ with S..X. Basement of S.A.B.
