Dr. Carroll
Continued from page one
founded largely in emotion and
sometimes devoid of reason, is a
representative product of our
educational system, there certain
ly is need for some overhauling
of the system. Many people have
succumbed to the distorted no
tion that European education is so
superior to ours that we should
change radically what we have.
It is truly good, however, that a
majority of our people refuse to
believe that the European system
is superior. These people know
the European brand of education
is geared to the concept that edu
cational opportunity is a luxury
to be enjoyed by the elite and not
the birthright of every child." '
Dr. Carroll followed this state
ment with a quotation from Dr.
Byron S. Hollinshead, eminent
American educator who recently
returned from an extended per
iod of service in Paris. Dr. Hol
linshead said that at the second
ary school level, approximately
70% of the American age group
is in school compared with 10%
of the age group in England and
France. At the college age 25%
of the American age group is at
tending, compared with 5.28% of
the European group ... We have
almost as many students in the
National Honor Societies in our
high schools, and in Phi Beta
Kappa, Sigma XI, and Phi Kappa
Phi in our colleges as Europe has
in its "entire student bodies.
? Dr. Carroll said that we Amer
icans cannot sit idle while there
are threats to our military, politi
cal, and cultural security. There
is no substitute for human surviv
al in a world fully capable of de
stroying itself. We must develop
and maintain military political,
and cultural strength commensu
rate with our ideals and poten
tialities and second to that of no
other nation. To this eqd we must
continue to change and adapt our
educational program in confor
mity with need and as often , as
reason dictates, but we must not
yield to a hysteria of fear and
.hope for miracles. We must bear
in mind constantly that American
culture cannot ape that of other
lands.
In hia conclusion, Dr. Carroll said
thai *w,?hall doubtlessly want to
remember John Stewart Hill's de
claration that "men are men be
fore they are educators, lawyers,
farmers, mechanics, merchants, or
physicians. We would remember
that man is at his best only if hte
is both compassionate and com
petent and in order to attain this
happy balance he must have food
for his soul as well as for his
mind and body. He must have an
inner resources those qualities of
mind and spirit which can serve
as reserve power when the going
is toughest. We as a nation of
men must have moral strength at
least equal to our military
strength or we can very easier
succumb to the weaknesses inher
ent in this disparity."
Dr. Carroll paid a compliment
to the work of Appalachian State
Teachers College. He said, "In
terms of the number of under
graduate degrees granted in the
year 1966-97, Appalachian ranked
first among the State-supported
white colleges in North Carolina
in the per cent of its graduates
who prepared to teach. We are
eternally grateful to you for thii
record of achievement and for
this contribution."
