Morgan and former assistant to the Attorney General William Me Govern In an informal discussion l.eld las: niyht in Morchoad Plane tarium. The discussion was the last event in the YW-YMCA forum on the topic: "Human 1 1 i ; 1 t s ; Their Challenge to America. Morgan expressed doubt, however, that all students should be given an education all the way through college and said that some sort of willingness and intellectual criteria should be set tip to ferret out those incapb.ile of college work. McGovern felt that such a system would create an intclloi(ial oli garchy and felt that a college educa tion should Ik guaranteed to all those wanting attain this goal. Citing the case of British concern for chit rights. Morgan expressed the feeling that education of the British school might be fundamental ly involved in the average Briton's concern fur the rights of others, lie thought that this might be one of the weaknesses in the American c (local ional sys'em. McGnvcni stressed the need ol paving teachers jnore money and trying 'o equalize their social status v it h other be'ter paid members of the community. He cited West Hartford's efforts to be'ter its educational system by bettering the teacher's wages so that they could be equal to the average wage level of the community. The question of whether it takes a sputnik or something milder was brought up by Morgan, who pointed out the lethargy of Americans in taking the problems of education seriously. Earlier in the day both men at tended several classes and Mc Govern spoke to a small seminar group on the relationship of the U. S. security system to civil rights. He said that the entire security system should be thrown out, and that the U .S. should have in its s'.ead an efficient counter-espionage force. idtDDfl.
