Start in with Hen Franklin and con tinuing through Henry Ford, they have gotten more output per ounce of sweat than any previous civili zation. In (act. ours is probably the first civiliition to make a profession out of efficiency. This ideal permeates American cu'ure. Politicians pledge effi ciuy in government, builders in corporate it into apartments and husbands seek it in wive::. The purpose of this essay is net to debunk the goddess. We too worship at her altar though with certain reservations in expecta tion of her rich rewards. Hut may we point out one area f American life that of American education where our goddess has been cst aside for other idcls. In truth, p.-e-college (ducatiuu i wasteful. Reforc high school, the bright student is kept back Py the mediocrity to his classmates. This tragedy often continues in high school with an added absurdity. Courses such as home economics, driver training and journalism compose much of the curriculum. The result, according to a two year study by the U. S. Office of Education is this: Of U. S. high school graduates. less than a third have studied chemistry for a year, v fourth studied physics and a seventh advanced mathematics. Of Soviet high school graduates, all liMve t ikeu live years of phy sics anil biology, four years of chemistry, on? year of astronomy and ten ycrs of mathematics. It is no wonder the Soviets have sputniks sputteri'ig about the uni verse. As .John Dunning. Dean of Columbia's Engineering S-iiooI. notes in the New York Times r'agazino. '"the point is that s: tidy ing mathematics and science does not prevent a youngster's becom ing a sociologist or an F.ivjlis'i tencher. Hut not studying math ematics will not only prevent him firm becoming ;: scientist: he wiil not be a very able sociologist or English teacher or minister either, because he will no! understand our culture, which is being shaped by technological forces that me still only half-comprehended." All will agree th;t Aineri-an high schools are at f;mlt. I'.ut how about the colleges? It is they who set the standards ad train the teachers. Are they doing their job? With high school curricula dis sipated by frill" courses that tickle the fancy rather than train the .mind. John Dewey's philoso phy of progressive education is being used to justify intellectual sloth. The product is a graduate well adjusted lo American mid dle class life, but largely ignorant of how science shapes that life. This is inevitable when teachers colleges, led by our step-brother across 120th Sueet, stress method over content, how to teach "over what to teach. These coddled high school grad uates are then accepted by our colleges, where they spend two out of lour years learning what they missed in high school. Is it unreasonable to demand that American youths, before gaining admittance to hallowed halls of ivy. write fluently the language they speak and speak adequately the languages of other nations: that they study at least a year of chemistry and physics: thU they be prepared to take advanced courses in mathematics? In this age of a grow ing demand for higher education, with the re sulting strain on physical facili ties, it is criminal to maintain col lege entrance requirements' less rigorous than these. Within the last few weeks, mem bers of the academic community have been outspoken in their analyses of why American science lags. Perhaps the answer is in their own backvard. by Al Capp ANOTHER FINE OLE AMERICAN INSTV-TOO-SHUN, NAMELV ME ROONED BV BIG BUSINESS" l Vi"l' VIADDirC V ( ft.!iJT' i 117 v.ir nr.; id i ' i.iirvv( , I rls9n 1 1 v rivjur-LU ?sr-s 1 ' V FOLKS Y AND WE.

BUNNr. ERIC THE RED: Missile U.S. Hits The Kremlin Harry Kirschner News , Item: It was announced today by reliable sources that the United States has successfully fired - an intercontinental ballistics . missile that landed 6n target in the center of Moscow's Rod Square. sv "" The missile is reported not to have been armed with the usual nuclear warhead. Instead it carried in its nose cone the most nuerotic individual that psychiatrists-were able to find living in the United States.- ' ' ( A selection board of psychiatrists worked con tinuousty fotfsix years to discover the most neu rotic AJntfrican. A spokesman said the job took them that long because they had to consider well oVei" 167 million case studies before they could make their ultimate decision. Harvey J. Muddlehead is the man who was chosen. He was found living in a mental institu tion 'in California where he had been placed when authorities1 discovered him to be the pyromaniac responsible for the great Pusan fire of 1954. He h dia'gnosed J as' 1 being a cleptomaniac as well as a pvromanlacf. and is best known in this country for his -sbopliftinf theft of the entire stock of a San Francisco department store in one day. Yesterday Muddlehead was wrapped in a red flag and nlaced in the nose cone and fired off for Moscow. The Air Force, with its missiles of pin point accuracy dropped Muddlehead directly down on top of the policeman directing traffic in the middle of Red Square. It was explained that this was done in order to soften the rocket's descent. When Russian authorities approached the mis sile and opened it they found Muddlehead crouched inside, wrapped in his flak. He immediately claimed that he was an American scientist defecting to the cast and offered falsified secret documents and the missile to prove himself. After their initial surprise he was accepted joyously by the Russians. When Muddlehead was first informed of the plan to fire him fof to Russia he readily agreed to it. He was released from the mental hospital and taken by special plane to Washington. After a five minute wait at the Washington Airport the Presi dent's limousine arrived to take Muddlehead and lr? escort to the White House for an interview. At ahout the time that Muddlehead reached there, the a;-po7-t reported that it was missing the propellors from six passenger, planes, and that fire had broken out in the airports main fuel storage tanks. At the White House interview the President greeted Muddlehead warmly and expressed hopes that his mission would be successful. He outlined Muddlehead's objective as being that of capturing the secrets of Sputniks I and II, and those involved in Russia's proposed rocket to the moon. He was to bring these documents back to the U. S. if pos sible, and to create a condition of general chaos within the Soviet Union. After Muddlehead left the White House the President reported that his wallet, seal of office, golf bag and clubs, and flag were missing. It wss later reported that a fite had been started in the west wing of the White House, but that it was un der control. The following day Muddlehead was taken to the r.., V"i launching site and waited an hour before preparations were completed and he could be dis patched. During that time it was noted that four tanks, two missiles, seven trucks and 38 walkie t were declared missing and firemen were ra'Ied to fight a fire that resulted from 3,000 gal lens of rocket fuel being ignited." Great hopes for Muddlehead's success have been expressed in top circles in Washington. He was de scribed as being perfectly capable for the job as signed to him. Late Report: Sources within the Soviet Union have disclosed that Muddlehead has been taken to the Russian's rocket lab and asked to help with their projects there. Last night he was seen being feted at a liquor party held in his honor by Soviet leaders in the Kremlin. Late Report: hTc Kremlin disclosed today that an unknown thief has Stolen its dining silver. Ii was also disclosed that plans for the proposed rocket to the modn are missing, and that the rocket base located near Moscow has been destroyed by exploding rocket fuel. Late Report: Moscow is in flames. Late Report: Leningrad is in flames. Late Report: Arcangel, Riga and Kaliningrad are in flames. Late Report: Moscow has reported that a loco motive was stolen this evening. It was last seen heading towards Leningrad. Various capitals throughout Europe have also reported locomotives and even entire freight trains as being stolen. The capitals are: Warsaw, Berlin and Amsterdam. They and various cities along what seems to be some sort of train stealing foute are reported to be in flames. Sources have it that Poland, Germany and the. Netherlands 'are asking for help in the form of fire-fighting equipment and volunteers from other countries in Europe, i An ocean going freighter has also been declared missing from the harbor of Amsterdam. Washington disclosed this evening that there is great hope that Muddlehead will make it back to this country safefy. Ni;hl Editor 1 U
