When yon think of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S, adv. iF <2)r. Dyson .Speaks Do Sl-JVWM ere "Keep your eyes wide open and if you don’t like what you see, plan to change it," advised Dr. J. D. Tyson, Visiting Professor of Special Education at Brevard Col lege, who spoke to the Bre vard Branch of the American Association of University Women on January 11 in the Brevard College Lounge. “Crisis and Challenge” in education was the evening’s top for study. A holder of degrees from DePau University, the State University in Iowa and the University of Denver and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Dr. Tyson defined the prob lems facing American public education and suggested solu tions. According to Dr. Tyson, in volvement of the public in schoolboard issues, teacher acceptance of responsibility mid accountibility for student success, and recruitment and selection of teachers who are enthusiastic about learning should be the concern of those who would better pub lic schools. Other suggestions included the hiring of teacher aides for teacher, elimination of tenure for teachers, adoption of student evaluation of teachers, use of discovery learning in the classroom, and adequate free lunch pro gram for depriced children, and a complete early child hood assessment for all chil dren. The results of a survey con ducted by Dr. Tyson showed that local educators and com munity leaders consider “finding a more adequate fiscal base for the financing of public education” and “finding better ways of deal ing with exceptional children, including the 'marginal1 stu dent” to be problems of de manding priority. Another demanding prob lem seemed to be “identify ing the specific areas in which public education may be failing our school chil dren.” The same survey revealed that those interviewed felt the best results in the short est amount of time could be achieved through teacher preparation programs and in volvement of students in their own learning and disci plining.
