survey has therefore raised this
question: "Since over 60 percent
of the cars are violating the speed
limit, should not the limit be
changed, since our laws are bused
on group opinion?''
Generally speaking, it is pointed
out, drivers are driving at what
they consider a reasonable speed.
Therefore, changing the law will
not alter driving speeds, but will
take about 30 percent of the driv
ers out of the violator class.
Parking offences were not so
pronounced in percentage, but were
still quite serious. The number of
cars checked (36 blocks in one
hour parking areas) was nearly
7,000; the number of illegitimately
parked cars was 817, about 12 per

parked over one hour and 15 min

Pleasant leave from the tedium

Presenting four one-act plays
of varying appeal, the student par

competent performances. Nearly
all cast members represent per

Probably the highlight of the
evening was the last play given,

Worcester of teachers college.
A plea for united co-operation in
bringing education down to eartli
was made by Dr. H. L. Caswell of
Columbia university, New York
City, who declared "we must ac
complish a reorganization of our
educational program in terms of
the actual problems of living, for
neither culture nor the child can
be considered alone. The educator
must see the child in his cultural
setting and view him as part of
the greater whole and in his re
lation with the problems of every
day living."
Dr. C. M. Hill of Yale university
recommended a curriculum based
upon biological and social needs
of children organized around their
interests utilizm.? first-hand ex

materials in cultural heritage.
