This is our second grandchild and the first one for Mr. and Mrs. Grant Peterson of Oasis. We are anxiously waiting for the weekend to come so we can go see the new grandchild. grand-child. Margaret Bradfield was doubly ARPRILLA SCOW biMg Views of Robert J. Havighurst, Professor of Education, The University Univer-sity of Chicago and the University of Missouri, Kansas City; William N. McGowan, Executive Secretary, California Ass'n of Second ary School Administrators; and W. Harold Handley, Principal of Olympus Olym-pus High School, Granite Dist., Salt Lake City are reviewed this week. Mr. Havighurst says "I welcome the vigor and the truth In Ivor Kraft's paper. I, too, see that we are in the midst of a crisis in secondary sec-ondary education, most clearly visible vis-ible in our big cities," he says in his opening statement. Mr. Havighurst thinks it's useful or even necessary to think about three different groups of young people in the United States, who differ by attitude and achievement in school and by outlook on life. These groups are (1) the entrepreneurs entre-preneurs of a changing democratic society. It Is from this group that the leaders of tomorrow will arise, he says and is recruited mainly from the middle classes, but about a third of them come from working class homes. This group respects education and expects to become well-educated. His second group he calls the maintainers of society, which con- Third in a series on "The Coming Crisis in Secondary Education" sists of about 50 of youth. This group finishes high school, as a rule, though it includes a percentage percent-age of dropouts. The third group is the alienated or marginal youth. Almost all of them are dropouts. They are marginal mar-ginal to school, to the labor force and to society, Mr. Havighurst says these groups tend to separate themselves in the high schools and his suggestion is to plan the high school program for these groups separately, although they should attend schools in the same buildings, if possible. He says that the school program recommended by Mr. Kraft is just the thing for the youth of group number one. He denies that the culturally deprived youth could pro fit from this cirriculum. He says that the youth of group number one should be educated to understand under-stand and direct social change. The second group or maintainers of society probably need a somewhat some-what different secondary school program. He says that this large "common group" will not respond so rapidly to the intellectual challenge chal-lenge advocated by Mr. Kraft. "Certainly "Cer-tainly they should not be denied access to such a program but their goals and expectations in life are so earthbound that few of them will become excited by the heady stuff of Kraft's curriculum". Mr. Havighurst says that he suspects that we will have to settle for a more pedestrian but realistic sec ondary school program for this common-man group, which will include in-clude a strong vocational element substantial program of training for technical jobs in the new electro nics industry as well as the continuing contin-uing program of commercial and trade training. The high school program for the third group or marginal youth will have to be different from the nor mal academic and vocational high school cirriculum. He says that he has not found any carefully designed de-signed research with a control group that substantiates claims of the proponents of the remedial aca demic program, where boys and girls are given extra drill in reading read-ing andor arithmetic. He thinks that members of the marginal group are seldom well-motivated for remedial training. The only al ternative program which has been extensively tried is a work-exper ience program. Mr. Havighurst says that the work-experience programs fall into three general groups: (a) those which are part of a regular vocational voca-tional high school program and for which marginal youth cannot qualify; quali-fy; (b) Those which are for youth aged 16 and 17 who are about to drop out or have dropped out of high school; (c) those which are for junior high school youth, aged 13 or 14 and up. Some youth profit from this kind of program while others drop out excited this weekend, she got word of two new great-grandsons, one born to Mr. and Mrs. Don Bradfield in Provo and one to Mr. and Mrs. Roy Peters in Las Vegas.

Mr. Havighurst hints that girls of the marginal group are being neglected as most of the emphasis in the work-study program of high schools is geared to boys' needs. Even though girls do not tend to show as much delinquency as boys he says their performance as mothers moth-ers of the next generation is perhaps per-haps more dangerous, potentially, to society, than the actual delinquency delin-quency of their sociological brothers. broth-ers. He says we should be doing three things with respect to marginal youth. (1) We should continue to search for and experiment with ways of working with boys and girls of this group educationally. (2) We may have to learn to tolerate tol-erate the misbehavior and the a-pathy a-pathy of this group, using custodial measures as are provided in the Economic Opportunities Act of 1964 to provide such programs for them until they are 21. He says there is comforting evidence that the ma jority of the marginal youth "straighten out" as they reach their twenties, even though they remain marginal adults, workers and par ents, ii) We should be using a variety of methods to reduce the numbers of this marginal group by preventive educational work with them when thev are vnnnpr es pecially by pre-school programs. ! Mr. Havighurst says that a great task of secondary education is to teach for a critical understanding of our society and at the same time to teach for allegiance to a democratic demo-cratic ideology. Mr. W. N. McGowan says "It (Kraft's paper) is a well written but "tired" approach to a critique of modern education." McGowan says Kraft falls with a loud noise into the cliche trap. He says that Kraft fails to specify the obvious, that many problems of the secondary second-ary school program can only be met as the tax-paying public resolves re-solves some pretty "sticky" social, economic and political issues. Mr. McGowan says that the prob lems of education are deeply rooted in the problems besetting our society so-ciety and they will not yield to superficial diagnosis and treatment. His closing statement says "Overall, "Over-all, the paper does not justify the attention given it by the editors of the Bulletin". "I am not sure whether I am just plain "sore" or whether Mr. Kraft, in his approach, has secretly achieved his purpose at least j my direction by forcing me out of a somewhat complacent, comfortable comfort-able postion!", W. Harold Handley writes to Editor Kourmadas of the Bulletin after receiving a copy of Mr. Kraft's paper on "The Coming Crisis in Secondary Education". Mr. Handley says that Mr. Kraft is, in some respects, fundamentally correct but continues that the general gen-eral tone of the article is negative. "This is most unfortunate. Seldom do we find people who would contribute con-tribute to progress making contributions contri-butions in a negative vein." This reader got the feeling that Mr. Handley wasn't too pleased with Mr. Kraft's article in several instances. He took exception to Mr. Kraft's selection of Fischer, Conant, Coleman and Havighurst as the standard bearers for American education. ed-ucation. Of Mr. Kraft's choices Mr. Handley says "It is true they (' cher, Conant, Coleman and Havighurst) Havig-hurst) have received a good deal of publicity for their work and have made fine contributions but there are many other unsung heroes he-roes in the field of public education educa-tion who are quietly but surely effecting change in the program of instruction throughout the U-nited U-nited States". Mr. Handley argues against Mr. Kraft's selections not only once in his answer to his (Kraft's) article but twice. Mr. Handley disagrees with Mr. Kraft's inference that public edu cation at the secondary level is primarily college preparatory edu cation. But, he recognizes the need to have greater breadth and real ism in high school offerings. He challenges Mr. Kraft's state ment of the growing tendency of secondary school stratification. He says that stratification will be largely nullified as long as public education provides every student an opportunity to achieve his po tential regardless of what this may be. -: : In spite of the great surges in population, Mr. Handley says that youth is no worse than when view ed by their elders 100 years ago. Improved communication, however, EXPOSES each deviation more vividly. vi-vidly. What we need is more adult expressions of faith in youth coupled cou-pled with more adult interest in youth if we are to improve this situation, he says. He favors Mr. Kraft's statement that schools do not avail themselves them-selves of enough opportunities to partake vigorously of the openness that is presumably allowed in a democracy. He says that freedom and democracy, if they are to survive sur-vive and thrive like any other living liv-ing organism, must be used and exercised. Mr. Handley says if experience has anything to offer, it is saving us from many of the pitfalls and errors experienced from past generations; gener-ations; and the fact some metes and bounds are set for inexperienced inexper-ienced youth does not mean that there is no chance for the democratic demo-cratic spirit to survive or for freedom free-dom to be exercised. Youth must test and re-test certain hypotheses and experiences, but all within the limits which society has learned by experience can be handled by youth during the "green" years. Mr. Handley takes issue with Dr. Kraft's statement that secondary schools give their students daily injections of "novacaine", anesthetizing anesthe-tizing the ideological bind which he (Kraft) mantains that schools promote. Mr. Handley thinks that it would be a fine experience if Mr. Kraft visited a cross section of American high schools as they are in OPERATION. OPERA-TION. Mr. Handley says that Mr. Kraft would find that while it is sometimes necessary to correct and give direction to student conduct, behavior and thinking, he would also find that students have an opportunity to practice self-government, to establish policies which ultimately find their way to the minutes of the boards of educa tion and which are often reflected in the policies adopted by faculty members and staffs of the high schools. Handley says that perhaps too many schools are leaning toward college preparation.

He agrees with Mr. Kraft in saying say-ing that piece-meal methods will not suffice to handle the mass program pro-gram of education required today.

Handley points out to Mr. Kraft, that in spite of all the vagaries and shortcomings which he (Kraft) sees in the present secondary education edu-cation system, this system laid the groundwork, and ushered in, the space age and undoubtedly will continue to point the way in the future. "Changes are being made and will continue to be made as long as American education exists because be-cause it is inherent in the American Ameri-can system", Handley concludes. H.
