"Can the teaching profession co-
operate effectively with lay groups?'
If so, what are some of the more use-
ful techniques for such cooperation?"
questioned Dean Edmonson Tuesday
in an address before theoSummer
Education Conference held at Illi-
nois State Normal University in
Bloomington.
"In any consideration of the ques-
tion of cooperation it seems desir-
able to review the conditions that
favor as well as the conditions that
tend to impair such cooperation.
"Those who believe that the teach-
ing profession can cooperate effec-
tively with lay groups emphasize such
conditions as: The school cannot be
set apart from its community and
this fact should pave the way for
effective cooperation between teach-
ers' organizations and lay groups;
teachers are drawn from all classes
of American society and hence should
be able to understand the viewpoint
of many groups; the teaching pro-
fession represents an interest of soci-
ety which is of such great importance
to lay grqups that cooperation is im-
perative; there is a large amount of
unused talent in the teaching profes-
sion that could be helpful in study-
ing common problems of communi-
ties; teachers, more than the mem-
bers of most groups, have received in-
struction in techniques of coopera-
tion."
The Dean then went on to show
the conditions unfavorable to co-
operation. Among this group he
named: there is some suspicion among
fession in seeking cooperation is con-
cerned with selfish interests rather
,han with the larger problems of edu-
cation; part of the teaching profes-
sion exhibits little interest in the solu-
tion of problems that are of concern
to other lay groups, such as taxation
public health, governmental reform,
and juvenile delinquency; too few
members of the teaching profession,
understand the psychology of non-
teaching groups and many are there-
fore inclined to carry over the tra-
ditional teacher attitude into confer-
ences with laymen; too few have the
ability to win, and hold the confi-
dence of the less educated members
of some lay groups; and lastly the
teaching profession has so many or-
ganizations that there is no one uni-
fied agency with which lay groups
can cooperate.
In concluding his remarks Dean
Edmonson gave some constructive
suggestions. He urged that education
is not a drain on national income.
but rather a prudent investment in
terms of preparation for successful
participation in the social, political,
and economic life of American dem-
ocracy; help citizens to recognize
that the public school is a necessary
unifying influence in our commun-
ity, state, and national life, and an
essential factor in the struggle to
preserve our democratic way of life;
stress the needs of children in con-
tacts with lay groups; expect every
teacher to take an active interest in
the program of one or more lay
groups, such as a church or a club,
This crude oil storage tank caught fire on a tank farm owned by
the Buckeye Pipe Line Company south of Lima, Ohio. Buckeye has
been busy transferring crude oil from pipe lines to tank cars for ship=
ment to the Atlantic seaboard and company/ officials declined to say
how much, if any, oil was consumed by the four-hour blaze. Dense
smoke clouds like this could be seen for 25 miles. There was no immedi-
ate indication what caused the fire.

Loggers Lend
A tmosphere'
To Camp Roth'
(Special to The Daily)
CAMP FILIBERT ROTH, July 26.
-Memories of early days, when;
Michigan white pine was king of the
lumber industry, were , recaptured
"his week at Camp Filibert Roth, as
the University of Michigan forestry
summer camp was invaded by two
salty old loggers-"Si" Lawson and
Paul "Bunyan" Criss. Dropping in
:o demonstrate the merits of their
'ompanies' saws and axes, respect-
ively, they succeeded, in addition, in
arousing a hearty interest in the arts
of sawing and chopping.
Closest shave of the week occurred
when a student blue-beard had his
live-weeks' growth of whiskers re-
moved with a razor-sharp axe. Cam-
era supplies were at a premium, as
nearly every fellow in camp had a
hand in photographing the "opera-
ion."
Paul "Bunyan," a 235-pound giant
in red flannels, stagged pants, and
logger boots, perspiringly acted as
master of ceremonies and barber.
World's champion axeman and log-
burling expert, he proved just as pro-
ficient as a ,tonsorial artist, remov-
ing the dense shrubby growth without
bloodshed.
Rousing the. sleeping camp each
morning with his throaty "Hi
Yo-o-o-h," "Si" kept everyone awake
from then on with risque stories.
These ribald tales were employed as
effective teaching tools in driving
home important points in the intri-
cacies of saws and saw-filing. Infi-
nitely patient, he soon had the boys
familiar with the difference between
cutter's and raker's functions and
the method of sharpening these teeth
correctly.
With the departure of these two
colorful characters, camp settled back
into comparative routine work again.

In his lecture, "The Nursery School
Points the Way," Dr. William E.
Blatz asserted that a child must have
learned cooperation, compromise and
tolerance by the time he is five years
old since after that it is almost im-
possible to do so.
About 200 people heard this lecture
yesterday afternoon in the Univer.-
sity High School Auditorium as one
of a series of lectures sponsored by
the School of Education.
Dr. Blatz defined cooperation as
being the acceptance of a sense of
responsibility to keep the rules that
have been made. The nursery school
has few rules, but all of these rules
must be kept. If a, child does not.
want to obey he simply is not a part
of the group. The object is to iiake
staying in the group more delightful
than getting out.
The rule of rules in nursery schools
is never to make a rule unless you
can administer it. The child will con-
foim if he knows the rule will be
fairly administered.

" Compromise, as Dr. Blatz sees it,
is being willing to give up something
now so that it can be enjoyed later.
In a nursery school there is never
enough of one particular thing to go
around. It follows that the children
must learn to take turns playing
with the various pieces of equipment.
It was pointed out that compromise
is much harder to learn than coop-
eration and takes longer to learn.
In Dr. Blatz's opinion the nursery
school is the only institution which
is tolerant. Every adult, church,
school is intolerant of something. In
the nursery school the child is ac-
cepted by the group for what he is,
does, and achieves. The status is
maintained by what the child does,
not what he is.
The prime purpose of the nursery
school is to learn to live with others
so that life can be enjoyed to its
fullest measure.

financing in April totaled $236,800,-
