SIBERIA ASTOUNDED AT PROSPERITY OF AMERICA--RUSSELL Education Dean Explains Faults of German and Russian School Systems EDUCATION MAKES LEADERS Two Main Problems of Education To Secure Trained Leaders and Obtain Obedience "They thought I was the biggest liar that ever hit Siberia," said Dean William F. Russell of the college of education Friday afternoon "when I told them of a town like Tipton with automobiles and Fords lining the streets every Saturday night, and Delco lighting plants in the farm houses around about. The subject of Dean Russell's lecture was "The School and The American. He emphasized the meaning of American citizenship by contrasting conditions here with those in Russia and Germany, showed how their schools were organized so as to perpetuate the ideas of their governments, and outlined a program in Americanization for the schools of the United States. Germans Willing Followers The old Russian type of society with order enforced from without was first discussed. "To maintain this type of society only enough education is required to enable people to read or understand orders," stated Dean Russell. How such a society will completely fall to pieces once the outside authority is removed in Russia, according to Dean Russell is proved by recent events. The German type of society, held together by order enforced from without together with cement from within, required a most thorough type of education to "mutilate the minds of the people so as to make them willing followers," according to Dean Russel's statement. He emphasized especially compulsory education laws, state control of schools, and training of teachers. To an audience composed largely of Iowa teachers and superintendents, he made the statement that there was perhaps not one person in this audience who could have passed the examinations to teach in the German secondary schools before the war. Achieving Americanization "If Germany needed education to mutilate the minds of her people, to make followers of them, how much more do we need it to make leaders," continued Dean Russell. The two main problems of American education, according to the Dean are to get trained leaders to the top and to secure obedience based upon rational cooperation in ideas. In order to realize these aims, Dean Russell stated that administrative schemes and devices must be planned, adequate courses of study provided, and proper methods of teaching established. Child labor laws and compulsory education laws must be made more adequate and better adjusted to each other. We have gone a long way in Americanization, Dean Russell stated. "The conduct of the country during the war was wonderful evidence of the Americanization of the American schools and the American press. Dr. C. R. Aurner is the owner of a new Chandler of the chummy roadster type. INVESTIGATING RATE CASE Dean Raymond Will Go to Nebraska As Appointee of Court Dean W. G. Raymond, of the college of applied science, will go to Omaha Tuesday in the interest of the Lincoln street railway company rate case. Denied an increase by the Nebraska State Railroad commission, the Lincoln corporation appealed to the court for relief.
