o Effort For Education
"The lag is from above," was what Princeton's Dean Gauss
said about modern college education a year ago in the col
umns of a leading weekly magazine. He stated his' belief
that the day; of' Joe College, the country, club student, was
past, and that today, with the man in college ready to roll
up his sleeves and go to work, the lag in education is with
the educators; teaching and what is taught is jammed up
with the musty, the dull, the vague, and the pointless, all
left over from fhe two earlier eras of learning, the "Classical"
and the "Playboy."
We agreed then, and still do, with the New Jersey Dean's
thesis. But there is more to-the problem of bridging institu
tional gaps than the mere wave of a hand, the simple act of
pointing them out. There is a great clutter of old methods,
old objectives, old ideas in the college system of today, which
must be cleared away and replaced with a new structure.
This removal and rebuilding will not be effected by the un
aided energy of the educators, spurred dnly by a vague stu
- dent "sentiment that the job be done; the educators are too
comfortably settled in their old habits, and will not change
it unless they have to.
Eather the student himself must first refashion his think
ing and his status. More than the simple feeling that he'd
like to work, he must, to make his education effective, decide
what he's working for whatever it is, a specialized mastery,
a solidly organized understanding of his cultural background,
a realistic analysis of his society, or all of them, these things
must be more than vaguely accepted. educational slogans in
his mind: they must be paths of study whose nature he
understands and which he would actively pursue.
And having thus answered for themselves the question of
why they are in college, the students must give potent ex
pression to their demands. Recognizing at once the childish
ness of traditional student scorn of studies, and the useless
ness of education that does not enlist student interest1 and
concern, they must demand of their schools the weeding out
of the dead, the inept, and the aimless material that fills to
day's curriculum.
If educational ideals are anything more than palaver, the
college student must be allowed a directing hand in shaping
the curriculum he must absorb. For only if the student is a
child is there justification for the ordering from above of his
learning ) and if he is a child twenty, he is not worth the in
vestment of America's higher educational plant.
To gather the scattered and disjointed expressions of in
dividual students and mold them into a central pattern of
practical student curricular demands is no more than an, ad
ministrative problem The agency for such a task must be
permanent representative student committees on educational
policies. If America's college students are really willing to
go to work intelligently, if their central object in coming to
college is really an education, then such committees would
not be Dead-Men-in-a-Dark-Corner movements, but rather
spear-heads of the most vigorous section of campus opinion.
As such, they would bring a new combination, prestige and
usefulness, to representative student organizations.
Or if they should fail under propitious circumstances, their
failure would be, a convincing symptom of the disease reac
tionary educators still think students have: high-sehool-itis,
a malady which renders the victim incapable of drawing in
Education, and leaves no alternative buC the Forced Feeding

By Adrian Spies
Edith Gutterman, Guest Columnist
(Note: As so many co-eds actively
support the motion pictures in this
town, we have asked one of them to
quest rith the feminine point -: of
view. A. S.) .
Social-Consciousness rears its

of bOys ' in danger of straying
off the straight-and-narrow, es

ences everywhere have acclaimed
this film as tender, human, and

in place in Boys Town, although
the triumph of good over evil in

cynic. Boys Town plays at the
Carolina theatre on Sunday and
Monday. '. -
Father Flanagan, the hero, sat
in person on the set watching
Norman Taurog direct Spencer
Tracy in an impersonation of
himself. Movie-goers already ac
quainted with Tracy's perform
ances in San Francisco (where
he also portrayed a priest) Cap
tains Courageous, and other
memorable films, know his vivid
and natural characterizations.
Mickey Rooney's emotional over
acting does not compare to
Tracy's calm portrayals but nev
ertheless, he turns in'a fine, con
vincing performance as the
tough little guy. Also in Boys
Town is Henry Hull, the original
Jeeter Lester of Tobacco Road,
an actor worthy of better roles.
Everybody is in love with
everybody else, but they aren't
the ones you think they are, so
please don't be confused because
nobody cares much. Another
screwball comedy, gay and care
less comes to town on Tuesday
and Four's a Crowd will be a Tot
of fun for everyone if you'll for
get that you've seen-dozens of
pictures just like this one and
don't try to reduce it to sense.
The continuity of the scenes are
confusing and the scenes, action,
and dialogue incongruent. Errol
Flynn is delightfully silly, and
Olivia de Haviland ravishingly
lovely. The remainder of the
quartet is the very. very English
gentlemanly Patric Knowles and
the womanly Rosalind Russell.
An apoplectic millionaire is the
cause of everything, with Walter
Connelly, as such, throwing per
fect fits. Don't let anyone tell you
that these comedies went out
with miniature golf. We're dumb
enough to like them.
If you have nothing else to do
on Wednesday, you might drop
in on Broadway Musketeers. If
you have nothing else to do.
Three orphan girls grow up and
have an awful lot of trouble.
There is romance, comedy, and
pathos. There is even a dramatic
climax. But outside of the three
beauteous damsels, Margaret
Lindsay, Ann Sheridan, and
Marie Wilson, the film offers
nothing. Broadway Musketeers
is a revival of another picture
which died many years ago. The
plot is unconvincing, and over
dramatic. Wednesday woujd be
a good day to catch up on your

Four Daughters is another of
