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. 0j ?/fecdinq3 and 6qa ChC~~c- ^,cri~~o c~ac c~occ. onca * 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. Dr. 0. I. Frederick To Talk Here At 4:05 P.M. Today Orie I. Frederick, Specialist in Sec- ondary Education for National De- fense, United States Off.ice of Edu- cation, will present his views on "What Secondary Schools in the United States Are Doing," at 4:05 p.m. today in University High School Auditorium. Dr. Frederick received his doctor- ate from the University and has di- rected curriculum programs in Sagi- naw, Battle Creek and Lansing. For several years he was chairman of the State Committee on Community Re- lations of Curriculum. Dr. Freder- ick is a member of the bibliography committee of the Society for Cur- riculum Study. By PAUL CHRISTMAN 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. CLEA RANCE SALE of OD LOTS " 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.
