Friday, August 1, 1941 Emergency Education Topics' discussed at the Superintendents' and Principals' Conference the last three days furnish an index to what are major problems of the day in education. • Glance at a few of them. For example: "Public Education .in the Present Emergency," "Educa tion for Defense," "New Developments in the National Defense Training Program," "Organiz ing the Schools and Community for National De fense," "Implications for Physical Education in the Present Emergency," and "Teachers and Their Organization in the Present Emergancy." Yes, education, in common with everything else, faces an emergency.

Good Work! Keep 11 UP There is good news for Penn State in what Pierre Henrotte, who has been on the campus for the past three weeks, has to say about the Band, Orchestra and Chorus School. He calls it the only school of its kind in the East and of these words the College should. be proud. Mr. Henrotte knows what he is talking about, too. For 15 years he was conductor of the Metro ; politan Opera House Orchestra. He spends much of his time acting as guest conductor at music schools for young 136'yi and girls. It is not idle praise, when he says, as he did, that the Band, Orchestra and Chorus School should soon rival the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Mich., for recognition as the nation's foremost summer music school. • - The College should do more than just be proud of Mr. Henrotte's praise He foreseems a brilliant future for the school and it should be made cer tain that this future is realized. • • Market Report for Apron Strings Dr. Moses R. Lovell, last Sunday's vesper serv ice speaker, said that 95 per Cent of all school teachers are women. Some. of. them were in his audience and we suspect he made a host of friends when he predicted that women will be civiliza tion's leaders in future years. - We disagree with Dr. Lovell and think that women have just about found their -proper•laveL Ask any housewife how often she - can get her husband to wash the dishes while she relaxes in an easy chair and reads the evening paper. May we ask when, and in what' female Utopia, will women become generals and admirals? Or won't there be war? When. will they become explorers? Or • won't there be anything left to explore? When will they become engineers? Or won't there be any more industry? When• will they become bank president's? Or won't' there be any :inonek? When will they beconie newspapermen?

But inter session and the last five weeks passed so fast that before we know it we'll have to stop cutting the lawns with our, irons on the golf course and getting down to the serious business of telling Bob Higgins what's wrong with our football team. And speaking of the gridiron; the venerable Hig will find himself with the tough job, of filling the biggest hole. in intercollegiate football and We don't mean our All-American Leon Gajecki.
