The new Beaver Field is in the background. instructor Pitfalls of By AMY ROSENTHAL Three pitfalls faced by the educated person are exhibi tionism, scientism, and the tendency to make sweeping generalizations, Walter Ralls, instructor in history, said Wednesday night. Rails, speaking to Cwens, sophomore women's hat society, said when educated people take themselves too seriously they be come caught in one of these pit falls He termed exhibitionism the showing off of knowledge. This, he said, has led to the new educational literature which describes learning as "a chal lenge." Because of exhibitional ism, third grade arithmetic be comes described as living pre dicaments and biology is re named living museums. Begin ning teachers are told they must prepare themselves for the chal lenge of the parents," a new name for the PTA meeting.

He said that the professional and business world is being caught in scientism, they want to prove themselves scientific and so use charts, jargon and num bered lists of rules. As an example of scientism he cited the educators who use jargon, terming discipline "high yimness correction." Rail also mentioned as another example the brochure put out by the Pentagon listing IQ rules on how to walk up its ramps to avoid tripping. The third pitfall of sweeping generalization he described as the tendency of using basic knowl edge to solve complicated prob lems. He used as an example the curbstone psychologists whose diagnosis of an alchoholic is "He's got suppressed homosexual tend encies." Rails warned his audience about using the knowledge_ gained in basic courses to solving compli cated problems. "There are two characteristics that distinguish hurrlans from ani mals," Rails said. "One is their spirit of unpossessive love and the other is their struggle upward on the road of the mind." MIL BALL December 4 ly located across from Atherton Hall . : THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.
