Knight Asserts Graduate Work
Standards Need Definition
Prof essor Writes
Magazine Article
"There has long been a need for the
elevation and better definition of
standards of graduate work," says
Dr. Edgar W. Knight, University pro
fessor of education, in an article in
School and Society, a well known
school magazine published in New
York. 1
"That need is more pressing now
because our universities are in keener
competition as diploma factories than
formerly," Dr. Knight says.
Not Capable 1
"Rearrangement and reclassifica
tion of data already known should not
be confused with real contributions to
learning," Dr. Knight writes. "Not
all of our graduate students in educa
tion are capable of really genuine re
search. "Knowledge, just as literature, is
produced, not by taking pains, but
having them. Moreover, it should be
disturbing to some of us that the dis
sertation generally' marks the end
rather than the beginning of produc
tive scholarship lor most ox our
Ph.D.'s, and our Ed.D.'s. We should
not deceive ourselves about what con
stitutes research."
Dr. Knight quotes President Gilman
of Johns Hopkins university, who, he
said, pointed out nearly 40 years ago
that "counting the threads of the car
pet, or the grains in a bushel of sand,
may add iotas of knowledge, but it
will be to the domain of useless
knowledge."
Dr. Knight recalls the story about

Former Student Dover
To Get Army Air Wings
Tomorrow in Texas
A former University of North Car
olina student will exchange an A.B.
degree for Army air wings tomorrow
when 330 flying cadets graduate from
the basic flying school at Randolph
Field, Texas, it was learned here yes
terday.
George L. Dover, of Shelby, is
among the representatives from 171
different colleges and universities who
are doing their "graduate work" in
flying and who will leave the "West
Point of the Air" to become a por
tion of the 30,000 flyers a year being
trained at the Army Air Corps cen
ters.
Spring Training
These pilots-to-be entered the South
Texas Basic Training School in late
March after having completed ten
weeks of primary training at mid-
western flying fields. At primary
schools they logged some 65 hours of
flying time in 200-horsepower train
ing planes and won their places in
the 450-horsepower trainers at Ran
dolph Field.
Now they have proved their mettle
again and will leave Randolph Field
this week for their final period of
training specialization during which
hey will master either fast single-
motored or multi-motored equipment.
In early August they will complete
he long trail and will be commission
ed as second lieutenants on active
duty with tactical units of the Army
Air Corps.
Invitations
This is the last day that the 33 Se
niors will have to receive the Com
mencement invitations that they have
bought but have not received. Al He

lic's fancy. "Parade of -the Milk
Caps" was another. Helen O'Connell's
vocal on "All of Me" made that tune
a best, seller, and when Dorsey re
corded his theme, "Contrasts," it sold
briskly everywhere. But "the Breeze
and I" and "Six Lessons from Ma
dame LaZonga" hit the jackpot.
Those two, issued early last summer,
broke all records, for Jimmy and his
band. The new sensation "Amapola"
is making a currently strong bid to
top all of the tunes.
"My Prayer" was a click, made so
by Toots Camarata's scoring which

flute obligato by Charlie Frazier, ace
men of the Dorsey organization. Mu
sicians seem to think "Major and Mi-,

year, so far, "Turn Right" and '"Turn
Left" are predicted by the band to be
the most successful.'
