Aspirants For Credentials To Meet Dean
Summer school studonts wishing to qualify for thc university recommendation for a California teaching credential at the end of the session, or who wish information regarding applications for credentials, will meet today at 3:15 p.m. in room 206, Hoose hall. The meeting will be conducted by Dean Rogers with the aid of Miss Gertrude Jennings, credential secretary.
citizens of the United States are eu-gaged directly in the teaching profession, and thirty millions of our men, women, and children are giving time to formal studies in schools, colleges, and universities, it is only natural that we should be asking anxiously concerning the outlook for education. With the devastating forces which at the present time the operating to create such far-reaching changes in human affairs, it is hardly to be expected that education will go unaffected.
DEVELOP MANKIND
'What the outlook is depends upon what wre are looking for. If it is the duty of mankind to develop mankind, then the primary concern of education is to see to it that any forces favorable to this end are conserved, and that any activities unfavorable are destroyed. Education must give a new definition and a new value to culture. Books, music, painting, drama, mean little if we as a people have neither time nor means to become acquainted with them and learn to enjoy them.
SENSEO DUTY
“Already in the plans for adult education the educational profession appears to have sensed its duty, and its opjwrtunity. In California alone progress along this line is indicated by the expenditure of approximately $3,000,000 in a year. We observe at once, however, how futile this plan and this exjilmditure must be without leisure on the part of our citizens to take advantage of it.
Some new distribution of the tasks must be made that along with leisure may come the sense of security — not merely security against starvation, but reasonable security against the uncertainty of unemployment and remuneration.
“There is no help foi it — we must find a way. American citizens will not starve complacently, nor await indefinitely for ‘wisdom to find a way.’ What is done must be done quickly, and the leadership in education must do it. We have been too completely enthralled by tradition and convention. We have been cowardly under the fear that we might not be quite ‘respectable*.
Dean L. B. Rogers presided at the assembly aud Dr. Bruce Baxter delivered the invocation,
