A JL From time to time, we at the College hear comments made by our graduates of years past that refer usually to the College as they think it is today. Some are enthusiastic 'Changes »and congratulatory beyond, perhaps, the point which seems vto us to be justified. Many times, however, the opinions expressed indicate grave misgivings about the program at ^he College, and the direction some graduates feel that ^t is taking. That there have been many changes is true, Are ,and that there will be many more is most likely. However, there are some misgivings that have no justification, and 'which are quite at variance with the facts. V Consider, for example, the often expressed concern Inevitable’ that Western has lost, in some way, its concern for the ‘jDreparation of teachers for the public schools — that the ♦new emphasis on arts and sciences has replaced it. What ^do we find if we look carefully at the situation? We will note. In the first place, that of the students taking courses In the arts and sciences the substantial majority are, in fact, by Dr. Harold Chatland, booking forward to becoming teachers. It is also true that Academic Dean in these courses it Is not possible to distinguish them from *those who will not be teachers, and this leads some grad- ujates to think that none are destined for the teaching jDrofession. The total student body of 1963 was appreciably larger than that of four or five years ago, and yet the ♦percentage of prospective teachers enrolled has remained iairly constant at about 67 per cent. If there has been a significant change in teacher preparation, it has been in the direction of treating all students alike in academic preparation. By this I do not jnean that all students must take the same course of study. 1 do mean that the preparation of all students, whether in ^teacher education or arts and sciences, has been strength ened substantially. Let us take, for example, that part of ^the program of the prospective elementary teacher dealing \vlth mathematics. During the last five years the teaching 'of arithmetic has changed In its emphasis and scope. vArlthmetIc was formerly taught to provide a manipulative skill. Today the objective is to teach the pupil in the grade '^school the meaning of arithmetic, as well as to acquire skill sn its practices. Consequently, the student preparing to ^be an elementary teacher takes courses in the Department of Mathematics designed to enable him to understand the 'basic concepts of arithmetic and their significance in the itotal field of mathematics. There are few courses in the liberal arts with more content and which require so much V the students, and it is encouraging to note that those ^who have taken the course are generous in their praise of it, particularly after they have begun their teaching duties In the schools. i. As for the very important program of student teaching, changes are inevitable. It is clear that we cannot continue ’To hope that the immediate environs of the College can intends to afford the same opportunities for close contact ■♦^supply the number of cooperating teachers needed.

11-year olds in the Campus School find themselves enjoying—and understanding—the Greek classics in a new experiment in the humanities.

The first time an outsider hears a"^ 5th grader reading and discussing* the Greek classics, he is liable to. scratch his head and wonder what ever happened to Dick and Jane. Such is the case in the CampuSi School where an experimental pro Mrs, Leila McCog^ Campus 1 gram in the humanities for 5th and School Librarian^ shams | 6th graders is under way. sixth graders a picture^ Fourteen youngsters were selected depicting the Colosseum of for the experiment last Spring on thej ancient Rome, basis of their reading ability and' creative interest to tackle The Dia-j logues of Plato, Sophocles' Antigone, Homer's Iliad, Herodotus and other' classics. The number is reduced ta- eight this year, a few books have, been changed, and the approach is broader. But the basic principles re-^ main the same. 2 Many Campus School faculty mem-, bers, as well as those in the depart-"" ments, were skeptical at first, poinM ing out that kids of that age simply^ aren't up to it. But they quickly changed their'^ minds. ^ After reading and discussing "The Allegory of the Caves" from The Republic by Plato, one 5th grader'^ wrote: "I enjoyed the discussion very much because it was interesting." The story told me that maybe whatj I see isn't real. Also if you see some thing for a certain length of time you*^ may believe it is real, for example,^' the shadows on the wall of the dun geon when they may not be real at all. "The men in the cave could not see anything else 'but the shadows" on the wall because they could only^ see with their eyes." ^ Another wrote: "The story was confusing. How-~^ ever, the discussion straightened me ; out. I found that if you believe something that is not true for a cer-^ tain period of time, and no one has^ told you otherwise, it becomes hard to believe the truth." J After another class discussion, one youngster was asked to describe "perfection." His answer: "A circle." When the students were discussing The Age of Fable, a text on Greek mythology by Thomas Bulfinch, sev eral of them noted meticulously the opening sentence: "The religions of ancient Greece and Rome are extinct/' The first thing they wanted to w • know was whether or not the reli gions we have today won't be ex tinct in 2,000 years. All books assigned for reading have been taken from the reading lists used in the humanities program for college freshmen and sopho mores. The youngsters take them home, read them—in many cases with their parents—and discuss them in class with a faculty member. The program is designed to acquaint elementary students with the history and development of our own society and the inheritance from the Greek culture. Art, history, drama, philosophy, and literature are included. Faculty members who have led discussions with the kids are President James L. Jarrett; Robin Mayor, Art Depart ment; Paul R. Waldo, Speech Depart ment, Mrs. Leila McCoy, Campus School Librarian, and Leslie W. Craw ford, Campus School faculty.

"We could get Moscow and Peiping radio and until I listened to them, I never knew what a 'terrible' country I was born in. "But I would say that only about 5 per cent, almost all of them the intelligentsia, had any concept of the Soviet Union and communism. The 95 per cent in the villages didn't know what Marxism was. They cared about feeding their families." He doesn't believe even the intelligentsia is falling for the communist line. "In the major Pakistani cities, the people are aware of the Soviets but they don't like their doctrine. They don't want anything to do with it.
