Edmonson of the School of Education, is contained in the February issue of the School of Education Bulletin. In this paper Dean Edmonson at- tempts to devise a system of educa- tion which is entirely consistent with modern economic and social trends. The first proposal for change calls for the development of a morework- able philosophy of education in the secondary schools, one comprehen- sible to both pupil and teacher. Dean Edmonson cites thecontention that educators fail to agree in regard to the fundamental philosophy of American secondary education, some rigid in their faith in the efficacy of education for the favored few, others demanding education for all of ado- lescent age. Universal Education Best Starting with the contention that universal education is the most prof- itable course to take, the article dis- cusses three characteristics that a course much possess before it can be considered valuable to the student: first, it must challenge the interest and effort of a large number of stu- dents, second, it must be made profit- able for students of differing abilities, and third, it must be valuable from the stand-point of the newer goals of education. Dean Edmonson deplores the fact that "the vast social and economic changes in American life have not brought about comparable changes in programs of instruction," proposing that there be brought about a de- crease in excessive emphasis on scho- larship marks, and an increase in the emphasis on those qualities hav- ing to do with citizenship in a democ- racy. Outlines Needed Character Elements According to Dean Edmonson, de-' mocracy implies certain elements of character which are not required in other forms of society, including qual- ities of self direction, self control, and self appraisal, the ability to in- vestigate and to maintain an open- mind, and finally a distinct pro-social attitude. The article severely criticizes pres- ent over-emphasis on the economic values of education, and proposes that a certain balance of emphasis be placed on the increased capacity for enjoyment that comes from education of the right kind. Dean Edmonson terms a "progres- sive tendency' 'the recent action of the five regional standardizing agencies in setting up a national committee to revise the requirements for ac- crediting secondary schools. President Asks For Little River Flood Policies Roosevelt Asks Congress To Define Principles Of Soil And Flood Control WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. - (P) - President Roosevelt recommended to- day that Congress define principles for federal-state cooperation in deal- ing with soil and flood problems or- ignating in "little rivers." In transmitting to the Capitol a report of the national resources com- mittee entitled "Little Waters: A study of headwater streams and other little waters; their use and relations to the land," Mr. Roosevelt said in a message: "The report points out that we can have no effective national policy in those matters, nor in the closely related matter of proper land uses, until we trace this running water back to its ultimate sources and find means of controlling it and using it. "Our disastrous floods, . . . our ma- jor problems of erosion . . . originate in a small way in a multitude of farms, ranches and pastures. .. we must have literally a plan which en- visages the problem as it is presented in every farm, every pasture, every wood lot, every acre of the public do- main. "The Congress could not formulate, nor could the executive carry out the details of such a plan, even though such a procedure were desirable and possible under our form of govern- ment. "We can, however, law down cer- tain simple principles and devise means by which the Federal govern- ment can cooperate in the common interest with the states and with such interstate agencies as may be established. "It is for Congress to decide upon the proper means. Our objective must be so to manage the physical use of the land that we will not only maintain soil fertility but will hand on to the next generation a country DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 4) salary $2,000; Inspector, Engineering Materials and Construction (Aero- nautical) and Inspector, Engineering Materials (Aeronautical), (for Aero- nautical Engineering Materials, Gen- eral, and Aeronautical Engineering Materials, Motors), salary $2,000.

Academic Notices The Department of Mathematics announces the following new course for the second semester: A survey of Elementary Mathematics (Math. 10). An introductory course designed to acquaint the student with the basic concepts, fundamental principles, aid 'general processes of the broad field of elementary mathematics. Lectures, collateral reading, and class discussions. Three hours cerdit. MWF, 2, 200 S.W., Kaltenborn. This is an orientation course de- signed to show the general character and significance of mathematics, to introduce the student to some of the delightful phases of higher mathe- matics, and to develop an apprecia- tion of the methods and applications of mathematics. It is to be a reading course rather than a problem course.

This course, The Development of American Journalism (Journalism 106), is being given by Mr. Haines this present semester. Journalism 104 will be given at theI announced hour the second semester.1 This course was erroneously an- nounced as an offering of the first semester. 1 Reading Requirement in German for Ph.D. Candidates: Candidates in all fields except those of the natural sciences and mathematics must ob- tain the official certification of an adequate reading knowledge of Ger- man by submitting to a written ex- amination given by the German De- partment.

Quimby, '36, a student in the department of an- thropology, in an effort to trace the makers of the ornaments and to de- termine the dates and place of their manufacture. The ornaments were , traded by White men to the Indians as early as 1780, and most of them were brought in before the War of 1812. Many of them were given to the Indians by the British, Quimby said, to keep the Indians on the side of the British. The ornaments in the collection include silver broches, crosses (sup- plied by traders), armbands and gor- gets. By taking off the patina cover of copper sulphate, Quimby can find the "touch-marks" or stamps which identify the maker. "When the maker is identified by means of historical research," he said, "one can tell where the silver came from and the approximate site." By means of this, he said, it may be possible to date or identify sites which are mentioned in early historic literature and to learn the names of the tribes which occupied those sites. The ornaments were made chiefly in England, Scotland, Montreal, Al- bany and Philadelphia, and were given to the Indians first by the French and then by the British and Americans. About 73 per cent of the silver in Michigan came from Mon- treal, Quimby said. After the War of 1812, the Indians began adopting the white man's methods of silversmithing, and made their own ornaments. C. J. Coe.
