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. We hope that teach- the characterizations were excellent

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?

goodbye, Now

For, with these paragraphs your unpopular
campus columnist bids farewell to the intelli

awake till 10 p. m. every night wondering what
Campy would have to say, who have eagerly de

When you look. back on it, it has been a great
summer
We heard $o much about summers at Penn
State that we rather thought a vacation (you
didn't expect us to . kill ourselves putting out this
rag) here may prove disappointing. 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

the biggest hole. in intercollegiate football and

additions to the summer hall of feminine charm,

Dratnafic Plaudits
Of the many groups who have put in their
spare time toward making our leisure time more
pleasant, none is more deserving of plaudits than
the dramatic group . . Night of January *l6
held us spell-bound throughout and while Moor

experience last . week-end .. . she'' - accpyted, one -

from a fraternity brother here at State, and spend

The hundreds of people who- daily study the
Land Grant mural in Old Main prove that •it is
just as well-liked by people with only a laymari's
interest in fine art as it is by art authorities.
Which all leads us to wonder why the huge
