Educational
Shift Shown
By Survey
A survey of Chicago-area bus-
iness leaders, educators and gov-
ernment officials indicates mid-
western universities have shifted
the center of U. S. education from
the eastern seaboard to the mid-
west.
The University was cited as be-
ing a national leader in liberal
arts, law, medicine and dentistry.
. * *
THE SURVEY concluded that a
composite institution welded of
the best features of colleges and
universities in Michigan, Ilinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin a n d Iowa
would be of All-American calibre,
ranking with the greatest world
universities of all time.
The University law school was
given an uncontested first among
midwestern universities and
ranked with Harvard's law school
on the national level, according to
a report of the survey published in
the Chicago Tribune.
The stamp of the law school
provides a great impetus to a
lawyer's career, the survey indi-
cated.
The medical school also ranked
high, sharing honors with the Uni-
versity of Illinois and Northwest-
ern.
Northwestern's dental s c h o o 1
was cited with the University's as
the midwest's best n the opinion
of the group surveyed.
Iowa, Wisconsin and Northwest-
ern were all lauded for their lib-
eral arts colleges along with the
University.

ALTHOUGH PURDUE was held
to be an international leader in
engineering, the University was
mentioned with the University of
Illinois as having engineering col-
leges that stand among the best
in the country.
Special mention was also given
to the University of Chicago for
nuclear physics and atomic re-
search, the University of Iowa for
education and child psychology
and the University of Missouri for
news and communications.
Michigan State College was
mentioned for its work in agricul-
ture.
Death of Ross
Mourned Here
Prof.-Emeritus Edward A. Ross,
84 years old, of the University of
Wisconsin, father of Prof. Gilbert
Ross of the School of Music, was
buried Thursday at Madison, Wis-
consin, following his death there
Sunday.
One of the founders of sociology,
Prof. Ross established the sociolo-
gy department at Wisconsin and
remained its chairman until his
retirement in 1937 at the age of
70.
A noted author of numerous
books, articles, sociological studies,
Prof. Ross was at one time presi-
dent of the American Sociological
Society and chairman of the
American Civil Liberties union na-
tional committee.
Prof. Robert C. Angell, chair-
man of the University sociology
department, and present president
of the American Sociological So-
ciety, says of Prof. Ross: "Sociolo-
gists will all mourn the death of
Dr.. Ross who was the last of the
pioneer group of sociologists in

this country. He not only made
great contributions of his own to
sociological theory, but he always
fought for the discipline of so-
ciology and its place in the uni-
versity curriculum."

Education
Di fficulties
Discussed
The challenge of mass education
took the spotlight yesterday at the
University's first Classroom Con-
ference designed to explore com-
mon goals of university and high
school teachers.
Setting the general tone of the
all-day meeting, Eugene Thomas,
president of the Michigan Second-
ary School Association and prin-
cipal of Central High School in
Kalamazoo, pointed to the univer-
sality of modern American educa-
tion as the major problem of sec-
ondary schools.
* r *
"FOR THE first time in history
we are trying to educate all the
people," he said at the luncheon
session of the conference. "A cross-
section of America, with wide var-
iations in IQ's and in social and
economic backgrounds, is going
through our schools."
"We will have to forget about
norms and levels of achievements
in our high schools and take boys
and girls the way they are, if we
don't want to reject from our
school those who don't come up to
academic standards," he asserted.
Dean Hayward Keniston of the
literary college, told high school
teachers attending the luncheon
that they should be as concerned
about students who do not in-
tend to go on to college as about
those who do.
All education is preparatory, he
asserted, whether it is for univer-
sity or for work directly after high
school.
During the day, conference
members visited University classes
and held meetings to discuss in-
structional problems in individual
subjects.
The high school teacher's prob-
lem of teaching large classes with
students ranging widely in ability
again dominated the conference at
the evening panel session.
Panel members felt that some
method must be found to stimu-
late their abilities while keeping
the instruction simple enough for
the average and below average stu-
dents.
Prof. Bromage
Publishes Book
A new book entitled "A Council-
man Speaks," written by Prof.
Arthur W. Bromage of the political
science department, has been pub-
lished.
Prof. Bromage is Republican al-
derman from Ann Arbor's sixth
ward. The book is a sequel to "On
the City Council," which related
Prof. Brornage's experiences as a
freshman Council member.

By HADLEY OSBORN
Backing the soft peace treatyI
for Japan, Prof. Robert E. Wardl
of the political science department
said yesterday that harsher terms
would be disastrous to Japan's
faltering economy.
"Japan couldn't bear up under
the economic controls and repara-
tion payments the British propose.
It would be almost impossible for
her to survive economically," Prof.
Ward asserted.
* * *
THE UNITED STATES has
pumped over two billion dollars in-
to Japan since the war and will
have to continue to pour money
into the country if it is to remain
free from Communist domination,
according to Prof. Ward.
"We are in a dreadful interna-
tional position and need bases
and friends in the Far East,"
he said. "We want the Japanese
to provide this setup by their
own free will; we can't afford to
alienate them."
Prof. Ward, assistant director of
the University's Japanese Center,
said that most Japanese are an-
xiously looking forward to the
September signing of the long-
delayed treaty and are eagerly
awaiting removal of the United
Nations occupational forces.
The big stumbling block is Rus-
sia's absence from the treaty talks,
Prof. Ward noted. Russia and Ja-
pan will still legally be at war af-
ter the treaty is signed and Rus-

sia could legally attack and occupy
Japan sometime in the future.
Another hitch in the treaty is
Okinawa, he commented. He said
the United States wants to keep it
as a military base, while the Ja-
panese feel that it should be re-
turned to them.
"THE REARMAMENT problem
is an embarassing question," Prof.
Ward said. "Gen. MacArthur in-
serted a clause in the Japanese
constitution which made it illegal
for the Japanese to support a
standing army. However, the situ-
ation has changed since then and
now it's imperative that they be
able to defend themselves."
He said it was doubtful if the
constitution could be amended,
because it would be impossible
to get an assenting popular vote.
The people are definitely opposed
to rearming because of the tre-
mendous devastation they suf-
fered in the last war.
Serving as field director of the
University graduate training cen-
ter in Okayana last year, Prof.
Ward observed that "practically
all enlightened Japanese are pes-
simistic about the future of their
country. The problems of over-po-
pulation and a lack of trade seem
to be insoluble."
"It's impossible to predict Ja-
pan's future accurately," he con-
cluded, "but, with the aid of a soft
treaty and a favorable policy by
the United States, she may sur-
vive."
