Smiley Tribune Education Editor Spearheaded by two professional mathematics organizations, a move is afoot to create a new doctoral degree with requirement somewhat different from those of a PhD. . THE AMERICAN Mathematical Society Council and the Mathematical Association of America board of governors have proposed the new doctorate, which has been tentatively tagged doctor of arts. Universities generally agree the word "mathematician means a currently active research worker in mathematics, or at least a person who has written one research paper under supervision. TOP UNIVERSITIES have taken the position that only a mathematician may teach mathematics. This is the substance of the policy which demands that college mathematics teachers hold a PhD. degree. E$dn Moise, writing on the proposed new degree in the American Mathematical Society Notices for April, 1961, points out that America produces about 250 mathematical PhD s a year. The maximum was 1959, with 282. "FIVE MEN FOB every state of the union would represent a pitiful rate of recruit- ment, even if all of them went Into teaching," he said, and he added that about half of them go into government and indus- try. In 1953 more than a third of the new mathematics teachers held the PhD., Mr. Moise said, but by 1959 the proportion dropped to less than a fifth. "Annual recruitment of Ph.D.s Into the teaching profession has not even been enough to balance annual losses, Mr. Moise said. THE ITEM In the PhD. program which blocks many potential holders Is the requirement for creative research. . Two persons.

Full , Tribune Staff Writer The virtues of honest labor by patients, students and inmates at Utah state Institutions are universally proclaimed by the institution managers. Pay for that labor Is neither universal, or consistent. A few of the feeble minded committed to the State Training School, American Fork, fare best THE MOST able students earn $1 a day. Top pay for Juveniles at the State Industrial, Ogden, is $2 a week.. And at Utah State Prison, the most skilled prisoner earns $5.35 a month. BUT AT THE State Hospital, the least skilled and the most skilled earn the same: nothing. Executives of those institutions believe that work is rewarding not only to the institution but aids in the adjustment of their charges. time when he makes Ms own independent way. Dr. H. Edward Beaghler, assistant hospital superintendent, agrees. The major reason why patients arent paid for their work, he says, is that the hospital doesnt have money appropriated for the purpose. AND, IF PAY IS graded according to ability, it might cause friction among the patients of unequal ability and impede treatment. But if pay scales dont reflect work accomplishment, the best workers might feel slighted, with further adjustment problems. "On the whole, there might be more advantages than disadvantages, he said.

From each, $1.40 to $1.50 is put into a reserve account and held for the time of release. The prison guarantees to each prisoner released at least $25 making up any deficit under that amount in the prisoners own reserve and the prison provides about $25 worth of dothing. various- - IT COSTS the state a little more than $2,000 a month.
