Allen Street, Logan States Campaign For Educational .Reform American education today lags far behind the pace being set by modern science, according to Harlan Logan, Editor of Look Magazine. In his article, "The Failure of American Edu cation," appearing in a recent issue, he launches- a campaign for the complete reform of eddcational administration and re vision of present curricula. He asserts that our schools and colleges, with a few notable exceptions, are habit-ridden and tradition-bound, and that they fail to prepare their stu dents to meet the widening com plications of modern civilization. Parents To Blame In his charges, Mr. Logan brings not only educators, Wit parents and citizens, within the range of his fire. Teachers, for the most part, are exonerated as being helpless in a system not of their own making; but he blasts' the administrators superinten dendents, principals, presidents, deans and depan'gnent heads who. could bring about many nec essary improvements, but who fail to act. he claims, through fear of upsetting the status guo and thereby endangering their own positions and salaries. Although he accuses State Leg islatures arid Congress of consis tent•failure to provide more ade quate funds for education, the bitlik of the blame falls upon par ents, citizens ,and taxpayers, in •Mr. Logan's opinion. In the last analysis, it is they who 'permit appropriations for war, roads, dams, post offices and pork bar, rels to take precedence over school budgets: Ignorant, indif ferent or bewildered, they have made too little use of their power as voters to demand educational reforms. Attacks Old Techniqubs In outlining the present weak nesses of American education. Mr. Logan attacks old-fashioned and inefficient teaching techni ques; outdated methods of grad ing; and classrooms sIoNV-~paced within an arbitrary framework of terms and semesters. He charges our educational leaders with laziness, stating that many of our teaching methods 'haven't chang ed in hundreds of years .. hav en't taken advantage of even so ancient a development as the printed drawing or the more re cent photograph, or moving plc- Primitive Red lipstick, a Dußarry lipstick brush, and a thirty-day supply of face powder. $1.50-plus tax. - .„-,.;::•:: • •',"•1',.7% , c Us • ;,. .. t I°ll. 11 U` 0 , I 1 ) Ail 1 (47 „ m e ll i L.— ae-------- ........„.......... 0,.... . ~ =2liM:=l State College TBX COLLEGIAN tures of phpnograph or radio:" The revolutionary improvements. developed by the Armed Forces in the teaching of languages, mathematics, and a dozen other subjects, could be•adopted by our schools and colleges, he believes, to the immediate advantage of their students. Teachers Get Low Pay The low pay of teachers and college instructors is scored as another great weakness of our educational system, causing re duced - efficiency, frustration and bitterness 'on the part of other.- wise able, sincere and hardwork ing men and women. In this con nection, Mr. Logan cites the na tional average salary for college instructors in 1942 as $1,8'72; for high school teachers as $1,902; for grade school teachers as $1,366; and for rural school teachers as $1;018. These, he points - out, are considerably below the incomes of shipbuilders; petroleum rein ers, printers, and cannot today be called a decent living wage. Mr. Logan, himself an educator and a farmer professor on the faculty of New York. University before his appointment as Editor of Look ? expresses the belief that our outmoded, inadequately fin anced educational system will gravely affect the future 'com petence of the nation. From thg ill-equipped and ill-taught chil dren of today, the community will reap a grim harvest of so cially maladjusted, bewildered and broken adults. Senior Coeds- (Continued from page four) coeds do agree that attending classes regularly is necessary. Sara Masurovsky, a home econo mics student minoring in chem istry, offered the following sug gestion: . ' Pay Attention! "Pay attention in class, and be sure you understand assignments. You'll not have nearly as much trouble with your• courses• if you do your assignments regulayly in- Stead of putting off all your work until the last minute." • Several of the coeds voiced the opinion that liking your professor and his method of teaching is a big help to better grades. -- --t-Wurally you like some pro fessors better, than others," says Jean Gedeon, who is graduating in the School of Education, "but they all have some virtues. I've• always found that even if you don't like a professor's teaching at first, by being cooperative you'll get to like him before the semester is half over." The honor students declined to set any hard and fast rules for being a perennial Dean's Lister. They did agree on one thing as being all-important. You have to be really interested in your field of study, whether its chemistry or ,men or English, to come out on 'op.

" Wright Gives Forum Talk "The architecture of a democ racy must be organic," emphasized Frank 'Lloyd Wright, internationz , ally known architect, who spoke in Schwab Auditorium recently for the State College Community Forum. "This organic architecture is a true architecture,': continued Mr. Wright. "It is one of the mind, he-art and brain and of the capac ity for work. That is what democ racy means." He continued iby explaining that upon looking around in - America, It is easy...to see 'that architecture has descended to the American people from tradition, especially the classical. , , The speaker stated that the ar chitecture of the mind is not just a blueprint, but it .is the life every one lives„ It creates certain atmos, pheres in !which future genera tions grow. "I might say that this M. which you are sitting, has no mind at all," • exclahned Mr. Wright, "and : I might go 4a step. fur ther and say that very. few build ings on your 'campus have any minds. "The great message democracy has for the world is to get inside and see :the natureof things," con tinued the anchitect. "See a brick as a brick and a 'board as aboard.
