Hesseltine Lectures on Regionalism
Modern schools are but instruments through which the dominant group of each region maintains its dominances in that region, ac-coiding to Dr. William Hesseltine, visiting professor of history from Wisconsin university, who delivered the last faculty lecture in the social science series yesterday.
Speaking on “Regions, Classes i and Sections in American History,” Dr. Hesseltine described the dom-I inant force in America as being the division of the nation into various regions and the struggle between various groups in the region to gain and maintain power. DEMOCRATIC CONTROL
“In a democracy control of political institutions cannot be maintained without the assistance of the intellectual institutions of the region.
“Unless the school teaches the' lessons of submission to the controlling group, unless the press and pulpit further the ideological concepts of the rulers in sermons and editorials and unless libraries, public forums, theaters, and lectures render assistance by suppressing opposing views and by advancing ‘constructive’ opinion, the dominant group in every region would lose its dominance and become subordinate to whatever other group that might obtain control of the complex agencies of mass education,” Dr. Hesseltine explained.
LOCAL MATTER
Because they are subversent to the interest of local groups, schools are locally financed and controlled —public schools are supported by (Continued on page four'

String Group Ends Chamber Series Monday in Bovard
Sturdy, individualistic music of contemporary composers who are reactionaries against the sentimental tendencies of the romanticists will comprise the final concert of the Roth String Quartet and Paul Pisk. pianist, in Bovard auditorium next Monday evening at 8:30 o’clock.
Feri Roth and his associates, who are fervent champions of the new forms, will play Malipiero’s “Rispetti e Strambotti,” or “Serenades and Love Songs,” Ernst Toch’s Serenade for String Trio, Bela Bartok’s First Rhapsody for Violin and Piano, and Roy Harris’ Four Preludes and Fugues for String Quartet.
ROTH COMMENTS
“Every 7-year-old child has the desire to hear music, and every 7-year-old is capable of enjoying chamber music, though his understanding will grow only after he has listened for awhile,” commented Feri Roth, first violinist and leader of the group.
This was in illustration of his contention that quartet music is the same in melody and content as any so-called “lighter stuff,” and mighty as easily be whistled by the layman. His friend Gabriel Fenyvos, European concert 1 ianist who was present at the informal interview, contributed further observation on the subject.
NEW MOVEMENT
“It’s just like swimming.” he said. “After you have negotiated the first cold plunge, the fun begins.”
Bela Bartok and his fellow Hungarian, Kodaly, Roth explained, started the new movement of writing rhapsodies that are harsh, dissonant, and primitive or elemental, as the peasant* food, mi^sic, and daily life itself is harsh and uncompromising.
“You know, when a village clarinetist is playing it is never in tune,” he reflected. Bartok and Kodaly have spent much time in collecting folk tunes, and their mu-(Continued on page four)

McSwain Stresses More Attention to Child's Needs
“The ‘discovery’ of the child may be classed as the most important achievements of tne first quarter of the 20th century by future historians,” declared Dr. Eldridge T. McSwain in his lecture on “What Secondary and Higher Education" Can Learn From the Elementary Schools.”
Research in biology, sociology, and psychology, is responsible for new consideration being given to each phase of life, Dr. McSwain said. Since personality is now looked upon as a continual process, constantly changing and being remade, each period of life becomes equally important. It is therefore necessary that the high schools and colleges become familiar with the child’s background in the elementary schools, he pointed out. Elementary schools are placing (Continued on Page Three)
