Education Administration Needs Modernization—Jones
“We have a V-8 engine in a model T chassic,” was the declaration regarding the present day education set-up made Wednesday afternoon by Dr. Arthur J. Jones, professor of education from the University of Pennsylvania, speaking on "The Implications of 100 Per Cent Promotion.”

In the light of the present confusion in education, it ij important j that we know how our present system originated, he said.
Philbrick originally only recommended that the course of study be separated into 12 sections, Dr. Jones said. These sections were not meant to correspond necessarily with years, but this actuality soon developed. Then, later, standards were set, first of material to be covered in the section, and later of time periods.

CAMPUS ACOC AT PILOTS ANTICS
Students Watch Army Aviator Dive and Barrel-Roll
ADM. BUILDING POINT OF ATTACK
Something of a mild commotion on campus was caused by an unknown aviator last Tuesday afternoon. Flying what self-styled military observers described as a plane belonging to the local National Guard unit, Mr. X attracted a crowd of several hundred persons who watched him dive, circle, and
barrel roll above Administration |---
building.
Starting about 4 o'clock he slowly j circled over Doheny library park at an altitude of about 200 feet at- I tracting the attention of a few !
idlers.
After about 10 minutes of this crowds of students began to pour out of the various buildings and they all stopped to watch. With the incentive of playing to this increased audience, the unknown entertainer shot the works.
Flying off to the west and climbing to about 500 feet, he would turn and race back to the campus, diving down on the tower of Administration swooping past a mere
20 feet above its topmost tile.
Or for diversion, he would fly to the west and come back barrel-rolling at about 200 feet above 36th street. And once he swooped low just over the three-tops in Doheny Library park.
The onlookers were pretty puzzled by the performance and typical comments were:
"He must be drunk.”
“Boy, they can sure knock him out of the service for that.”
“It would be pretty funny if he kept it up until he crashed.”
And. “I wonder if it’s an SC graduate, or is it a recruiting gag?”
Rhumba Dancing Offered Students By La Tertulia
A rhumba dancing party to which all students attending the Summer Session are invited will be held this afternoon at the popular Earl Carroll theater restaurant starting at 3 o’clock under the sponsorship of La Tertulia, the SC Spanish club.

Carrascoso will illustrate his talk with phonograph records and selections on the piano Romulo Oliphant will sing several Mexican songs.
Final plans will be made at the Monday meeting for an all-day excursion to the Padua hills Little theater on August 3. There the group will eat dinner, see a Mexican play, and enjoy dancing. Any SC student interested in making the trip is asked to get in touch ^th Miss Borisoff.
War Declared Inevitable Under Social Structure
Taking the stand that wars are the inevitable result of our political, economic, and social structures, Dr. Ralph H. Gundlach, visiting professor in the department of Psychology, spoke on the subject “The Psychology of War” in a lecture
given yesterday.
“Our goal.” Dr. Gundlach declared. “must be a society in which exploitation of the individual is eliminated.”
The individual, he pointed out, is the primary source of war attitudes and therapeutic devices must be applied to him. Institutions, of course, are effective, but' institutions after all rise from an individual and are not separable from him.
The present reasons for war can disappear, however, if there is a I change in point of view—just as1 serfdom disappeared.
People become eager to fight for several reasons, Dr. Gundlach said. The first is bound up with the intellectual limitations of people and the limited span of their awareness. "People.” Dr. Gundlach said, “are easily distracted. Our habits of thinking are irrational and uncertain. We are brought up to believe what we are told. We are not trained to be rational.”
Another reason why people become eager to fight is bound up in emotional responses. Our reactions occur without conscious thought, yet emotions are the source of most of our actions. Hate, fear, and love cause us to act.
Nationalism is a source of war attitudes. All institutions bend towards patriotism. In the home, in textbooks, in the church this exists. And all nationalities always fight on the side of God. Men also identify themselves with the state or with its allies. He speaks of “our navy,” our defeat in Belgium,” and so on. He acts as a cog in a group, not as a person. Destructive action is frequently a result. Action often constitutes an escape from thinking.
Frequently war attitudes arise from over-simplification. We praise or condemn nations as a whole, considering all actions to have a sum. And of course rationalization grows out of this. “Our side is right, the other side wrong.” we say. Also, we project our sins on the enemy. The Continued on Page Three

Rodriguez Also To Be Guest of Honor.

Profits
Economic System As Undemocratic Says Dr. Fairchild
That corporation profits and general prosperity are mutually opposed in a genuinely democratic society was the thesis of Prof. Henry Pratt Fairchild's address given last Tuesday in the all-university assembly.
Dr. Fairchild, regularly of New York university, prefaced his analysis of current ideas and practices by saying that people build up such emotional auras around words that the words not only lose intellectual content for the general reading or listening public, but frequently become sacrosanct; submitting them to dispassionate consideration on the basis of their meaning becomes a forbidden thing to do. Thia has been the case with democracy.
One of the easiest ways for a speaker to win the plaudits of his audience, said Dr. Fairchild, is to extol democracy in general without ever -bothering to define the term. On the other hand, one of the easiest ways for a speaker to alienate his audience is to suggest that perhaps democracy is not the basis for a new Utopia.
In any case, such a public attitude is not conducive to the healthful, progressive work of the scientist or scholar in the field of social theory and action who must by the very nature of his occupation divorce works from their emotional associations, find the ideas or concepts for which they are symbols, and submit thoee ideas to objective analysis, he 'continued.
“If one puts democracy on the dissecting table to discover its real nature, one finds it necessary to cut through a number of confusions before the real item is reached.’’ he declared. "The most confusion occurs in attempts to identify political I and economic structures and fune-i tions.
"Frequently the two become intertwined. but seldom identical. Consequently. it is necessary to appraise not a nation as a whole entity, but the various social departments of a Continued on Page Three
Erasmus' Life Characterized As Source for Guidance
Characterizing Erasmus as a man in whose life and works modern man can find much solace and guidance, Dr. Ger-hardus J. Holwerda. member of the faculty of the department of comparative literature, spoke on the subject “Erasmus, the First Modern Man” at a lecture Tuesday in Bowne hall. “Among great writers,” declared -
Large Group Will Attend Business Education Picnic
Students in the department erf business education will cast text books to one side tomorrow and motor to Manhattan Beach to enjoy an afternoon of recreation. The group will leave from the front of Old College at 2 p.m. and motor : to the beach together. .
Dr. Earl G. Blackstone, associate professor in Business Education, has announced that a group of well over 100 students plan to attend. Plans for the afternoon’s entertainment are being taken care of by committee appointed by Robert La Dow. president of Pi Omega PI.
Last year the beach picnic was the most popular function sponsored by the department of Business Education, and this year's party is expected to attract an even larger number of summer session students.
Tickets for the picnic can be secured at the Business Education ! offices, and must be purchased by noon today, as reservations will close at that time.
Dr. Holwerda, who was speaking in the fifth of a series of nine lectures on literature. "Eramus” is one of the least known and most diffi-sult to know.” He founded no party in an age when parties were being founded: unlike Calvin and Luther. he left no tangible tradition. Yet he exemplified many qualities that are of worth today, and thus his works and his personal life merit investigation.
First of all. Dr. Holwerda said, he lead a good life. Further, Erasmus “taught us the art of poking fun at our neighbors without hatred or malice.”
In an age of great men. Erasmus was among the greatest. Contemporary with him were such famous figures as Columbus, Aristotle, Cas-tiglione, Lorenzo the Magnificent, Leonardi da Vinot, Martin Luther,
Thomas More. Henry VIII, Machia-velli, Pope Alexander VII, and others. The Spanish Inquisition was at its height in Erasmus’ lifetime. , and Virgil. Homer, and Aristotle were printed for the first time.
These great men and events are reminiscent of modem times. The age in which Erasmus lived was an age of expansion, great scientific discoveries, war, dictators, and organized crime.
But though Erasmus was a famous figure in his age, little is known of him. The reason for our ignorance, Dr. Holwerda said, was that Erasmus was completely indifferent to chronology. Though we have 3000 of his letters — Erasmus wrote 40 each day and received 20 — he did not arrange them in any order, and we have no record of when Continued on Fare Three
