Proclaiming that the "undisci plined education," as advocated by Teacher's college at Columbia University, is partially responsible for the "current juvenile revolu tion," Paul Majlon in a syndicated editorial entitled "Columbia Teacheis' College Blamed for Child Deviltry," incurred a variety of comments from professors here, each fearing his own comments would be misunderstood, although he either agreed or disagreed naturally. Attacking true-or-false tests and multiple-choice-answer ques tions, he said, "tests are made out by teachers nowadays which can hardly do otherwise than develop A nation of graduated half-wits." Use Russia as Example. With Russia as an example, he proposed that we drop "progres sive education and put the kids to work with stern discipline and thorough scholorship." Accordins to Dean Henslik of Teachers ColIegeMallon misun derstands progressive education. "He is quoting isolated cases of fadists who have paraded as pro gressive educators. Progressive educators don't want this situation which Mallon sights any more than anyone else does." Mr. Lane Lancaster seems to take the opposite stand from Dean Henslik to Mallon's editorial.

Running a close second to Keigh were Phyllis Overman as Regina, and Janice Marx as Bird ie Hubbard. Phyllis, having the responsibility of the leading role, gave ft superb characterization of the cruel mistress of the Hubbard family. The atmosphere of domi nation and despotism she created followed h?r throughout the entire play, and her cruel, coarse laugh remained long after the final cur tain dropped. P.oses to Janice Marx for her excellent characterization of Bird ie, the innocent and neglected wife of Oscar Hubbard. Giving vent to her feelings and those of the audience, Birdie released her ideas concerning the Hubbard tra dition of starving the poor to make their millions.
