“History has been made up of two forces,” Dr. Storing said. “One force tends to drive the people to unity while the other tends to creat disunity.”
TENDENCY TO UNITY Dr. Storing indicated that the tendency over the years has been toward unity, either democratically or dictatorially, and now that a measure of disunity exists in Western Europe, it is the hope of the western world that a democratic unity may be effected.
Speaking of the forces involved, Dr. Storing said the economic and nationalism forces in the past had a tendency to unify the people, but that now, especially nationalism, are causing disunity. NATIONALISM INEFFECTIVE The answer may lie with the United Nations, or another world government, he said, but nationalism, which has had them unified in the recent past, has become incapable of holding them now’.
Dr. Storing is lecturing on American government and its institutions during the postsession.

Dr. Law Accentuates the Positive In Preview of Education Lecture
In an interview regarding his lecture at 3:15 today in Hancock auditorium, Dr. Reuben D. Law, visiting dean from Brigham Young university, emphasized that his “attitude concerning elementary schools is positive.”
“There are a few GIs teaching in elementary schools with marked success. The trouble is that many who are equally qualified for the work are not even considering it,” he said.
“Many people who are trained for secondary school teaching are being used, because of this shortage, 1st elementary schools. Training for instructing in secondary schools does not imply a qualification for teaching the elementary grades. In most cases, it precludes the necessary background for elementary teaching,” Dr. Law explained.
Dr. Law wished to clarify the problem reported as “the paradox existing in the inverse relationship between teacher supply and demand, on the one hand, and teacher ability, on the other.”
He advised that “extent of teacher preparation” be substituted for the words “teacher ability.”
In addition to the subjects previously reported, hu lecture will cover the problem resulting from the imposition of fixed administration and supply budget# upon the present necessarily flexible school system and the problem of politically elected county superintendents.
