Real Business Of Schools To Make
Community Better Place- Cocking
The real business of the school
is to make the community a bet
ter nla to live in. Walter D.
Cocking, editor of The School
Executive, told over 250 teachers
attending the opening session of
the Teachers College Conference
Tuesday.
Coekinz snoke on "National
Trends in Community Educa
tion," The school exists for
more than teaching abstract sub
ject matter, he said, but a ma
jority still holds fast to the prin-
cinle that the only function is to
teach knowledge.
He pointed out that this ma
inHtv maintains that the tradi
tional system is automatically
the best way to improve com
munities. '
COCKING SAID that school
nrnwums and procedures have
become standardized. Latin, he
pointed out as an example, was
introduced to the school system
as a vocational subject. It has
been retained while the need for
it does not necessarily remain.
He listed as components of the
community people, social organi
zations and natural and physical
resources. To improve the com
munity, therefore, ue said, we
must improve each of the three
components.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION
does this through work in such
fields as canning, vegetable gar
dening, contour gardening, and
experiments with livestock.
Cocking's address was fol
lowed by an address by William
E. Hall, professor of educational
Beatty Speaks On UNESCO
At Conference Coffee Hour
At an informal coffee hour in
the Union Wednesday, Willard
Beatty discussed his experiences
in UNESCO House, Paris, before
a group of educators attending
the Teachers' Conference at the
University.
Beatty is the former chief of
fundamental education for UNE
SCO and supervisor of the inter
national training centers at Patz
cuaro, Mexico, and Sirs-el-Lay-
yan, Egypt.
UNESCO, SUCCESSOR to a
former cultural committee of the
League of Nations,s is one of ap
proximately 10 agencies which
promote world aid and under
standing, Beatty explained. It
was organized in London in 2945
and now has headquarters in
Paris.
Beatty stated that 62 countries
are members of UNESCO and
finance the organization. Like all
other United Nations organiza
tions, he said, UNESCO runs on
a pitifully small budget for what
it is trying to do.
BEATTY DISCUSSED and ex
plained the language difficulties
and the various departments of
UNESCO. The education depart
ment, with which he was con
nected, educates the youth and
adults-of the world.
" The department is working to
re-establish education in Korea
and also to re-establish education
in certain educational institutions
in Western Germany. A clearing
house has been established in the
department which acts as an in
ternational agency for world lit
erature. THE UNESCO department of
natural sciences, he said, is in
vestigating the possibilities of
tranforming desert lands into
food-producing regions through
their arid zone research program
In conclusion, Beatty stressed
the fact that UNESCO cannot op
erate in any country with a re
quest from that county for the
organization to perform a spe
cific service. The countries ini
tiate the activity and have full
veto power on the activities, he
added.

nsvcholoev at the University. He
spoke on "Local Experiments in I
Community Education."
HALL POINTED out that com-
munity change cannot be accom-
nlished in a short time but takes
long-term work and planning.
Community workers must noi
only develop skills in dealing
with the community, he said, but
also have a real emotional in
volvement and interest in the
good tf the community.
He said that the continual influx
of new ideas and interest is
necessary to community change,
and that personal contact and
sincere interest in the potential
ities of everyone in the com
munity is the key to community
education.
IN OUR culture we tend to
educate and think in the bulk,
and individualism is not stressed,
he continued. However, after
encouraging this type of educa
tion and thought, we expect in
dividuals to produce something
significant even though they
have not been trained to do so.
Hall said.
Dr. Hall is director of the
Newman Grove and Lincoln
community projects, engaged in
attempting to develop the human
resources of the community to a
greater extent.
Following the two addresses, a
panel asked questions of the two
speakers during a discussion session.
