Dr. Leo Jenkins made the pre diction when he spoke before a pit ifully small audience at Wakelon School Appreciation Supper last Thursday night. He characterized the future thusly: 1) there will be different forms of energy; 2) there will be a society based on electronic con trol; 3) greater distribution of the comforts of life; 4) relationships with neighbors will change; 5) relationship with God will change; 6) and degenerative diseases will be conquered providing longer life. “In 12 or 13 years,” Dr. Jenkins said, “we are going to see a new world.” This world began during the World War II, he said, and will materialize fully in the not too distant future. He prophesied that America is going to live through a second in dustrial revolution. The implications of the future of education were brought out by Dr. Jenkins. He said he foresees a much longer school year in the fu ture. Society, he said, is, going to demand it. He predicted that a 10 or 11 months school system will be nec essary. The world is demanding that the student finish his elemen tary and high school education as soon as possible. He said, too, that teacher pay in j the future will be higher. Now, teachers are classified as techni cians. Tomorrow they will be brought up to a professional state. Closed circuit television for teaching purposes will become the means of educating the masses in! the future, he predicted. In fact, it i is already being practiced experi mentally in some of the larger cities. Dr. Jenkins emphasized the fact that science is going to become more and more important in our living. Schools will play an im portant part in the training and educating of pupils for a world that has become and will become more dependent on scientific knowledge. “It is going to be a wonderful age and a baffling age,” Dr. Jenkins concluded. Parents and teachers must be gin to realize this fact and pre pare for it. The future is depend ent on them. Dr. Jenkins was introduced by Wakelon Principal John J. Hicks.
