Orr American Education~Week -'..4 Education has come illlto its own as a subject of major concern to Americans. No longer are education stories bur- ied in the badk :pages of newspapers, or aired .at poor Hsten- inig, times on radio and television. Today, education produces front page headlines and hour long television n:etwork docu- mentaries vi•ewed by millions. Last year, 30 million Americans swarmed into their lo- cal schools during American Education Week to watch ed- . ucation at work. This year the number of AEW visitors is expected to to,p even that figure For this fascinated audience of parents and other citi- zens., you will find thiis year's AEW theme - "Your Schools, Time for a Progress Report" - fittill!g' and practical. It offers an opportunity to concentrate ·on the improvements made in your college in the last few years ; on changes in the curriculum which benefit the students; on new school con- struction; on your programs for ,gettinig and keeping the best teachBrs ; on effective new teaching methods ; and on your improved facilities. Every November, during the week which includes Vet- eran's Day, an event known as American Education Week is observed throughout the United States. It is. an audit or annual report time - duri'Il!g which A.C.C. will tell its own- ers, the general public, about its purposes, methods, achieve- ments, needs and problBms .. ., - A"EWgrew ou orflierevelafion-; duringWorldWar I, that a shocking percentage of the American ~eople w.ere il- " literate and physically unfit. Representati'ves of the Nation- al Education AsRociation and the newly formed American Legion discussed this pro'b1lem and their talks led to the ob- servance, in 1921, of the first AEW. From 1922 on, the ob~iervance has been co-sponsored by the U. S. Office of Education. In 1938, the National Cong- ress of Parents and Teachers became the fourth national sponsor. _ Many other groups participate. Farm, labor, business, pro- . fessional, dvic, religious, fratenal, sBrvice, library, welfare, -.. and general cultural organizations help plan and finance many AEW projects an:d activities. The basic purpose of AEW ts to make -every Am~rican aware of the important role education plays in a democracy and to help him realize that ;giood -schools are his profession- al responsibility. SpBCific purposes are: to increase public understanding and ~Jjpreciation of education; to e:,cplain the modern community college, today's curri:culum, current tea- •ching methods and Jlllaterials; to increasB student · apprecia- tion of their college; to reveal college problems and needs.

THE PERFECTIONl$T One of the values of college training is acquisition of the habit of being satisfied with nothing less than-perfection. This applies wheth- er it is a matter of a problem in mathematics, an experiment in science or a verbal presentation in like to emphasize the importance of clarity of expression whether spok~n or written. College students should seek to improve in all their college activities, in classes, infor- mal conversation, committee meet- ings, and in meetings of organized groups. College students should do this just as instructors have the See DEAN Piage 4 And girls, if you're looking for a new cheating method or two, Keith Wallace is the boy to see. I understand he gave quite a talk on the matter in speech class. October birthday wishes are ex- tended to Doug Allyn and Marty Shea. I hear they're waiting 'till next year to do their celebrating! And here's something to remem- ber: If you ever have car trouble or anything of the sort, just call on George Holmes and Ed Nagy; they'll go out of their way to help you.

Fashion Footnotes An interesting note came to the fashion editor's desk from the "College Clamor" of our neighbor, Flint Junior College. Their editor writes, "We have one rather common fad and that is a do-it-yourself hair salon.
