erly with the Hancock ensemble, returns to Hancock hall again tomorrow night at 8:30 when she presents a recital that will fulfill partial requirements for her master of music degree.
Receiving her bachelor’s degree in 1944, Miss Robinson taught first at Bakersfield and during this last year at Dana junior high school in San Pedro.
Accompanied by Donald Carter, she will play Sonata, Paratini; Concert in G Major, Mozart; Sonata, Franck; Slavonic Dance, Dvor-ak-Kreisler; Nigun: Baal Shem. Bloch; and DeFalla’s Spanish Dance.
Miss Robinson is a member of the SC band and orchestra and studies under Anton Maaskoff. associate professor of music.
All offices of the University U be closed on Monday, Sept. 1947, for the purpose of oele-aUng Labor day, according to announcement from Dr. Ru-l B. von KleinSmid, chanter.
Offices will reopen Tuesday. j»t. 8 for business.
“Only 500 or 600 children are now eligible for immigration,” she reports, after a close check on conditions. "But,” she demands, “why in heaven’s name wait for quotas and red tape before this little band of youngsters Is given a chance to find security, education and happiness over here?”
Russia Aids Children Europe’s children, she claims, are her greatest concern. “What is done for them is recognized as constructive aid in the overall reconstruction picture.” “Delay,” she adds, “can be a most serious obstacle in this nation's untiring effort to bring about an international peace pattern.”
“Surveys show Russia Is doing all right for the displaced children in Its areas. Britain has won wide acclaim for its open door to refugees,” she explains. “Can the United States, admittedly a ‘have’ country, afford to delay its program at the possible cost of diminishing its opportunities to impress others with tlie excellence of a democracy.”
10,000 Wait for U.S.
“While there are approximately 10,000 displaced children in the U.S. occupied areas of Europe,” she continues, "lt should be understood that every effort possible is being made to keep those youngsters over there.”
“Don’t Imagine," she says, “Europeans are anxious to give up their most precious possessions, the children. To them they must look to carry on in the years to come.”
Tomorrow’s Leaders
Indicated willingness to give I immediate succor to Europe’s displaced young people, Dr. Branscombe believes to be the best possible augur for a world peace plan.
If American people could comprehend that 18 years from now they must deal internationally with leaders drawn from tlie youth generation of today, they would see why this country has a stake in conditioning European children, she observes.
Trillingham defends board of education
Dr. C. C. Trillingham, Los Angeles county superintendent of schools and member of the state curriculum commission, Friday scored news reports that the group had attempted to purge all social implications from two new textbooks designed for use in California schools, editorial in the
Replying to an Summer News which appeared last Thursday and was written off news reports of the board’s recent meeting, Dr. Trillingham said the editorial was written in good taste based on accounts hi newspapers.
“However,” he continued, “such accounts by metropolitan reporters play up a very small part of the proceedings and ignored the larger aspects of one of the board’s most significant meetings.”
Relaxation Dr. Trillingham emphasized that the board was in complete agreement that the textbooks in question should not be the dry, artificial drill work that characterizes many textbooks, but should be related to real life and real life problems.
He explained that the remarks quoted by local papers were made during a moment of relaxation in tlie board's consideration of the textbooks.
Mrs. E. K. Strong, member of the board, was quoted in local reports as saying social implications should be deleted as part of “my idea of not stirring up trouble.” What newspapers failed to report, Dr. Trillingham said, was that Mrs. Strong immediately declared “I hope you’ll realize I'm being facetious.”
Date* and Sources The books under consideration by tlie board, Dr. Trillingham said, would be in use for several years.
During that time, the facts quoted in them would become obsolete, and the board merely wished to make certain that dates and sources for the figures were included in the books.
He referred to sections of the two textbooks, “Arithmetic We Use” and “Making Sure of Arithmetic,” which showed that 50 per cent of the nation's families had annual incomes of less than $2000 and that one third of the nation is poorly housed.
Dr. Trillingham cited a state senate hearing, held six months ago In which the board was accused of being "subversive” for its efforts to include the “Building America” series In California school curricula.
Embarra.v»mt n t
‘ The board has done a good job,” he said. ’They had an embarrassing experience once before, and I don’t want to see the same thing happen again.
“The children should have a chance to see both sides of a question, and Mrs. Strong, together with other members of the board, have fought for that chance. Tlie board was cleared of subversive charges previously, but it is now being Justifiably wary so as not to stir up similar charges.”
Dr. Trillingham leceived the degree of doctor of education at SC in 1933.
