COLLEGIAN CLASSIFIEDS
BRING RESULTS
Propaganda Ills
Cured by Study
Fascism should have taught us
the danger that lies in the use of
propaganda, especially in the
schools Dr. Willis E. Pratt, head
of the department of education
at the College told educators at
tending the workshop yesterday.
“Yet our schools still make the
mistake of not teaching our
children to be critical of what
they read in their textbooks and
newspapers,” he said.
In discussing “The Fascist Can
Teach Us a Thing or Two,” Dr.
Pratt, who helped to reorganize
and open schools and colleges in
Italy for the Allied Military Gov
ernment, stated that Mussolini
and his Fascists had done one of
the most effective jobs in educa
tion ever performed In processing
Italian youths to think as the
government desired.
Dr. Pratt listed centralization
of power, misuse of propaganda,
development of misunderstand
ings about the world’s people, ex
ploitation of any people, and
government control of education,
as dangers lying ahead of the
United States which Fascism
should have pointed out.
Ik:. Pratt warned that the fail
ure of the Allied governments in
Italy to provide the Italian
people with those things which
our. propaganda service had
promised them will lead to either
Fascist or Communist control oi
that country as toon as American
and British occupation troops
leave Italy,
Favors Equalisation
Although ha favors equaliza
tion of educational opportunities,
Dr. Pratt said that he did not
favor passage of proposed Fed
eral school aid bills because the
example of the Fascists in Italy
■?'“ Germany had shown him
that federal financing of public
schools led almost inevitably to
government control of education.

Harry B. Northrup to End
College Extension Work
The modern history of the Min* and writing and printing the text*
eral Industrie* extension services
is the story of the planning and
work of Harry B. Northrup, direc
tor of the Mineral Industries ex
tension services, who will retire
Julv 31.
Although the School of Mineral
Industries was established as a
department in 1893 and offered
the first organised extension in
struction in the field of mineral
industries in thi* country, the
work was not delegated to a dis
tinct staff until 1991 when
Northrup became the first direc
tor of the service. Upon him fell
the duty of organizing the staff,
planning the curricula, deciding
what areas were to b a served.

Turning to Industrial metal
lurgy for 11 years, Northrup
worked as chief metallurgist for
the Diamond Chain & Mfg. Co.,
and for the J. W. Kelly Co. as a
sale* and construction metallur
gist. In 1931 he returned to the
College.
Fishing is one of Northrup’s
favorite hobbies and he spent his
two-week* vacation in early July
at Stony Lake in Canada, where
he has fished yearly for the past
13 years. The late spring this
year kept his catch down. North
rup said, but he reports hauling
in a few choice specimens.
