Edmonson Discusses Schools
And Defense In Current Ar

1

ticle

By ROSEBUD SCOTT
Practical policies for preparation
of the nation's schools for an active
role in national defense measures
have been proposed by Dean James
B. Edmonson of the School of Edu-
cation as a member of the Educa-
tional Policies Commission sub-com-
mittee of the National Education
Association.
Character education, civic better-
nent of the community, health and
Yuidance and the strengthening of the
-orale of parents are major. fields
for improvement according to Dean
Edmonson, writing in the current
issue of "The Nation's Schools."
That democracy is or can be made
the best form of government and the
best way of living together is the pri-
mary objective of character educa-
tion for moral defense. More empha-
sis should be placed, he cites, on the
struggle to establish democracy and
upon the importance of seeking truth
in the study of current events. At-
titudes, ideals, skills, and technics of
learning should be the objectives of
social science instruction rather than
the acquisition of factual knowledge.
Celebration of national holidays,
more training and practice in group
criticism and discussion and the de-

velopment of skill in obtaining, or-
ganizing and presenting facts of de-
batable issues are other procedures
which schools throughout the country
should adopt, Dean Edmonson advo-
cated.
k Promotion of community projects,
such as higher standards of living,
adequate public health service and
generous recreational facilities are
problems, faced by all communities
in which democracy and its prin-
ciples may be demonstrated, he lists.
Solution of problems of minorities,
the hatred of dishonesty, corruption
and graft in industry will do much
to prove democracy's worth its pow-
er to meet the necessities of national
defense, Dean Edmonson stressed.
Recognition of the opportunities
for vocational training, more atten-
tion to agencies promoting the well-
being and mental hygiene of youth
and adults, and cooperation with ad-
justment services of the NYA, the
educational services of the WPA t
In the conviction Liat this pro-
gram can work through the coopera-
tion of parents he proposes strength-'
ening assurance that security for the
nation's youth may be had in free
education and democratic school sys-
tems.

According to British sources, an Italian submarin e is shown here as it surrendered to British ships after,
being blown to the surface by depth charges. After members of the crew were taken, the submarine sank.

Physicists Work To Improve
University 's Atom Smasher'

By A. P. BLAUSTEIN
Intensified atom-smashing is the
present goal of the physics depart-
ment as work is being rushed by
Prof. J. M. Cork and Dr. James L.
Lawson to make the University'Ft
huge cyclotron more powerful than
ever.
In order to accomplish this, water-
cooled copper plates are being pre-
pared for insertion between coils of
the instrument to keep the latter
from getting too hot when electric
power is sent into it. These plates,
they believe, will enable more power
to be dissipated in the magnet al-
lowing them to discover more things
about nuclear structure.
While this activity is going on a
number of other staff members are
undertaking the task of cleaning the
copper coils of the "atom smasher."
Each of these-there are 20 in all-
weighs 1,500 pounds and must be;
handled carefully with large cranes

while the oil and grime which has
accumulated on them is scrubbed
off.
The cyclotron itself, located in the
basement of the Physics Building, is
the second largest of the 15 which
are now in operation in the country.
Though the coils weigh 15 tons they
occupy only a relatively small pro-
portion of the instrument whose mag-
net alone tips the scales at 85 tons.
To give some idea of the amount
of metal in the cyclotron one of the
physicists working on it asserted that
it contained not only enough iron
to build a submarine but also 100,,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 at-
oms of copper.
By'means of the "atom smasher"
the scientists here are able to pro-
duce more than 50 elements artifici-
ally, such as platinum from gold,
phosphorus from sulphur and indium
from cadmium. It has also been
found useful by physicians in the
study of radiation effects on tissue.

Biggins Given Scholarship
Because of a treaty made in 1817
between the Michigan Indians and
white settlers, Arthur L. Biggins, '42,
has been reawarded a University
scholarship. This scholarship for
Indian students was made to com-
memorate a gift by Indians of three
sections of land for the Catholepsi-
ad, the school which was the fore-
runner of the University.
