36 World Is Lagging In Efforts to Improve Its System of Law Science Surging Ahead But Only Crisis Spurs New Look at the Laws. ATLANTA, Feb. 12 A world hastening to find a link with the future is lagging in efforts to improve the law which must rule these amazing discoveries, Chief Justice Earl Warren said today. "The law lags behind until crisis stirs it into action," Warren told an audience of students and faculty at Georgia Tech's Alexander Memorial coliseum. He applauded Georgia Tech for the school's progress in science and technology, and said "I wish that we had made comparable advances in my profession of the law." Warren spoke at a ceremony commemorating the 75th anniversary of Georgia Tech, which desegregated in 1961.

It was Warren's first visit into the deep south since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its school desegregation ruling of 1954. Chief Justice arrived Monday night and left the Atlanta airport under heavy security guard as posters calling for his impeachment were raised on private property in some sections of the city. Referring to the Constitution, he said the greatest wisdom shown by its authors was in leaving to the people the right to change it by amendment. "They knew that change is a law of life," he said, "and they did not want our charter of government to be like the laws of Medes and the Persians which never changed and which eventually became a symbol only of the dead past." This was the closest Warren oame to mentioning the Supreme Court's school desegregation decision.

Warren was chief justice in 1954 when the Supreme Court outlawed segregation in public schools. Georgia Tech began desegregation in 1961, as did Atlanta city schools.

This will enable the city to straighten and improve the alley-way for readier accessibility to traffic, truck-unloading and users of the Laundry Mart.

Bob Han will be asked to remove his plumbing equipment from the shed by March 15. H. G.

State Publication Tells of Strong Shop Ley el at CHS The Missouri Industrial Education Association's state bulletin, published in Jefferson City, calls attention to outstanding shop activities at Chillicothe High School. The bulletin points out that a program of expansion which will cover the next five years has been approved for the industrial education department at Chillicothe High School.

Major improvement will occur in the industrial arts section of the program of instruction. Improvements are off to a fast start with the installation of better lighting and electrical wiring. A new section was added to the shop area and includes three new rooms for material storage, project storage and a finish room. The next five years will see the installation of new equipment in all areas of work in the shop. General electricity will be added to the course offerings.

The department also will add one new instructor. Robert Weston, industrial arL instructor at CHS, wrote a report for other departments in the state explaining how a shop organizational chart has been instrumental in effective teaching-learning situation in industrial arts classes here. Six class officers are appointed at the beginning of the first semester. If they prove satisfactory to the group they are elected to their posts at the beginning of the second semester. The officers are a general superintendent, recording clerk and librarian, stock room supervisor, tool supervisor, project and finish room supervisor, and safety and maintenance supervisor.

The remainder of the class is divided into three groups responsible for cleanup and their duties change each week for a period of three weeks. Duty assignments for each of the three divisions are typed out on a card and kept in individual holders on the panel. Weston's chart also has a method of checking the class roll, through sliding buttons numbered from one to 24. Each number corresponds with the student's number in the grade book. Each student moves his buttom to the right as he enters the room.

When the tardy bell rings, the recording clerk enters all absentees in the record book. The general superintendent moves all the buttons back to the left. A holder is also provided for blank job sheets, the grade book and a first aid kit. Mra. Stella Thompson Was City Clerk She Was Widow of Former School Superintendent and Dairy Operator.
