Mays of Morehouse College told the stu dents and faculty on Tuesday in the last of a series of chapel talks d:s cussing “Education for What?’' Con tinuing, he stated, that “satisfaction in any area means ultimately death and stagnation, and he warned his listeners to beware of becoming satis- J fied. Five other points were stressed by i the noted educator. (1) That edu cation ought to be designed to provide a student with skills so that he might be able to be at home in the world and be an asset rather than a liability to society; (2) that education should j increase one’s capacity to appreciate j living and get the maximum enjoy- 1 ment out of life; (3) that education is designed to discover or awaken the average or exceptional mind and stim ulate that mind to its greatest power; , (4) that the end of education is to find a specific task and to do h; and (5) that education should be designed to make men better. I President Mays frankly '‘admitted taking issue with Harvard, Yale and Princeton University report# for con centrating on the prelection of ► kills aa the ultimate goal of education, when, as he sees it, education should be designed to make meu honest good and' true. The development of skills, he pointed out, should be. secondary. The speaker believes that rf Russia in a generation could make Commun ists, if Hitler could turn every youth in Germany into a Nazi, and that if Japan couJl develop the Fascists, then colleges and universities In America, in one generation, could make the j co an try demoaraiic if they got at the heart of the educational system.

A deal was made with the com mending officer of the Lockland Air Base near San Antonio to have the band flown from Jackson to San An tonio, in exchange for which the band would play a free afternoon performance at the air base. In the meantime, the Johnson band's bus was to be driven to San Antonio by driver Pedro Johnson and road manager Nat Slot. The band arrived safely by plane at the Lock land Air Base where Buddy received the bad news that the bus had brok en down somewhere in Louisiana. That brought up another problem, for the band had to be in Port Arthur Texas, the following night. Again coming to Buddy's rescue, the Army volunteered to fly the band to Port Arthur. Buddy gratefully ac cepted the offer and the band again took to air. On this trip the flight wasn’t as serene as was the previous hop.
