Local Teacher Remembers Rome For Its Opera and Symphonies A coilege professor with a senae of humor and a concern for more effective public scnool teaching, yesterday told Lakeview school teachers what, ironically, was wrong in the classroom. Dr. Alan Griffin, professor of education at Ohio State university, used as his theme that of the Lake-view workshop: "Have we the courage to educate for effective living in a changing world?" Mild Conspiracy "One situation that complicates teaching is that adults are engaged in a mild conspiracy to make clear to children that life is simple and the children are wise to the con-spriracy!" Dr.

Griffin said. "Is it any wonder that they revolt against this conspiracy of over simplification, and a code of conduct which adults wouldn't abide for a minute?" he asked. "The vast store of capsule wisdom with which adults entrench themselves against the searching questions of children is not a good substitute for real teaching," Dr. Griffin continued. "For example, we say to children: always tell the truth! but we don't really mean it!" "If Johnny goes over to a friend's house for dinner and he's asked how he likes the soup, do you expect him to say it's lousy even if it is, or do you want him to be polite instead and say that the soup is delicious but that it also is very filling?" asked Dr.

Griffin. Life Is Difficult "Perhaps we've got to get down to fundamental honesty and admit that the answer to all life's situations can't be condensed Into easily swallowed pills of wisdom, and that life is so difficult on occasion that nobody has the answer," said Dr. Griffin. Dr. Griffin expounded what he felt to be the solution to better teaching: using the natural conflicts in textbook material and "helping the child to become interested by putting information in such a way that he can see that there's more to the problem than meets the eye.

"Nobody thinks unless he has to I'm convinced of that. And so good, teaching will emphasize the elements of doubt, puzzle, uncertainty, and confusion which abound, for example, in any history lesson. And also, no one thinks unless he cares about the subject at hand, so devices have to be thought up to make the student 'give a Dr. Griffin was introduced by Theodore Thomas, principal of the Lakeview high school. The teachers are continuing their workshop with cross-sectional meetings in which general teaching problems, applicable to all levels, are weighed.

Yesterday noon the teachers were Joined for luncheon at the Mary wood Country club by three members of the school board, F. H. Stowitts, president; John D. Pichitino, treasurer; and Dr. Wendell H.

Stadle, trustee. Oliver Goldsmith's "Deserted Village" was inspired by the depopulation of Ireland during the 18th Altered Plans for Springfield School Will Be Made. L. J. Sarvis, architect, conferred with the Springfield Place school board at an informal session last night which led to tentative approval of minor changes in school building plans which have been in existence since 1947.

The board was interested in seeing the new bi -lateral type lighting planned on the elementary wing of the addition to the school. This type, with high windows on one side and regular windows on the other, provides more even lighting at all classroom hours. Will Submit Drawings Mr. Sarvis will present tentative drawings for these changes to, the board at a later meeting, probably within a month. The board's next regular meeting will be September 14, and Superintendent James Rossman said no special meetings were planned before that time.

The board met formally for a few minutes to approve school bus insurance. The bid of the Tobey Mason Insurance Agency, low bidder among stock companies, was accepted. This' insurance will cost $132.45 per bus for the 12 month period. Earlier the board had considered 10-month insurance with insurance effective during the other two months on any one bus at a time to allow for summer motor checks. The board had devoted over an hour at a previous meeting to the consideration of types of insurance.

The action last night followed Superintendent Rossman's investigation of types of insurance carried by other school systems. Type of Insurance The insurance is $100 deductible collision, covers fire, theft, and windstorm, and provides $10,000 maximum one-person and $100,000 total bodily injury, $5,000 property damage, and $2,000 medical insurance. The Springfield Place teachers will hold their pre-school conference next Tuesday and Wednesday, and school will open for all students on Thursday, next week. Buses will transport high school students beginning Tuesday. The teachers conference will include a general meeting and lower elementary, later elementary, and junior high school sectional meetings on Tuesday, and a general meeting and teacher problem meetings on Wednesday.

Tomorrow a number of Springfield teachers will participate in the Business-Industry-Education day, arranged by the Battle Creek Chamber of Commerce for teachers in the Springfield, Lakeview, and Battle Creek school systems. Mr. Rossman said that parents whose kindergarten children are not enrolled should call the school from 9 to 4 p. m. Thursday or Friday of this week to make arrangements for the enrollments.

News of Our Men In the Services The Enquirer and News welcomes news of Battle Creek's men in service tor this column You may write and mail it in or simply telephone and ask tor the Service Men's editor Going to Radio School Pfc. Forrest D. Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony R.

Smith of Leroy town ship, has gone to Little Silver, N. for 28 weeks of training at an Air Force radio technician's school. He spent a 10-day furlough at home after completing 13 weeks of basic training at the Lackland Air Force base near San Atonio, Tex. ens, ducks, goats, and whatever else hopes to ride," said Mr. Richards, laughing at this recollection.

"The people get down early to wait for the bus, and when it shows up they begin pushing to get on it. One day they pushed so hard the door dropped light off the bus. One of our party battled his way to a seat one day and then stood up to comb his hair. By the time the comb was out of his pocket, his seat had been stolen." English is spoken everywhere so the American has no language problems. Signor DeMuro's instruction was in Italian but the students had no trouble "getting it," according to Mr.

Richards. Mr. Richards saw other countries but nis hurried trip home cancelled plans to spend a day each in Venice and Florence, and four in Paris. He witnessed the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and saw the king and queen of England. He spent two nights in Switzerland, marveling at the beauty of the country and being mildly appalled at the musical fare.

Lugano, Switzerland had no music, and Lucerne featured only a jazz band of 1920 vintage, he recounts. Flew to London Mr. Richards flew to London June 26, and spent five days there, meeting the rest of the group who came by boat. The trip from London to Paris to Switzerland and then to Rome was made by boat and train. There was only one near mishap in Milan Mr.

Richards nearly lost a valise which had been placed on one train while the students took another. There were also minutes of doubt on the plane trip from Paris to Bradley field, Connecticut. The plane schedule was by way of Shannon, Ireland, and Newfoundland, but to avoid a storm the plane veered over the Azores. The last five hours of the flight were accomplished on three motors, and one of these was "missing." Back in the U. S.

Mr. Richards hurried to Pelican Rapids. His daughter was recovered and the family left soon after for Battle Creek. Mr. Richards is enthusiastic about this year for vocal music in the Battle Creek schools and hopes that he will be able to bring to his students the benefit of his own summer training under the Italian master.

Mr. and Mrs. Richards are seeking a small furnished house. They gave up their Battle Creek accommodations for the summer. They are presently staying with Mr.

and Mrs. Richard Snook. Mr. Snook is instrumental music director at W. K.

Kellogg junior high school, and director of the high school ALABAMA BOY IS CHAMP IN MODEL PLANE CONTEST DETROIT (U.R) Herbert L. Davis, 15, Birmingham, returned home today with top honors in the third international model airplane contest.

Voegelli, Jackson. MEETING POSTPONED A meeting of the Battle Creek township advisory committee scheduled for last night was postponed because a quorum failed to attend.

The committee plans to meet sometime next week, according to C. La-verne Robbins, secretary. LONDON UP) Soviet Russia, in a new note to Belgrade, accused Premier Marshal Tito's Yugoslavia today of working "only on the instructions of Its western masters. The note was broadcast by the Moscow radio and was the eighth in a series of increasingly bitter exchanges between the two feuding Communist countries. LA PAZ, Bolivia VP) Two rebel planes today dropped mortar shells on the La Paz army airport and a nearby military college.

The revolutionists used mortar shells because they have no bombs, a government spokesman said. The shells did no damage, he added. ROCHESTER, N. Y. (W.R) Dan Cannichael, a hard-hitting unknown from Columbus, ruined the grand slam hopes of England's S.

Max MtCready when he defeated the British amateur king, 5 and 4, in the second round of the U. S. amateur golf championship today. Belligerent Driver Given 90-Day Term Bedford Man Sentenced After Leaving Accident Scene. Lloyd Garfield, 41, of Bedford, went to jail today for 90 days for getting rough with the other parties after a minor traffic accident in which he was involved yesterday.

Garfield pleaded guilty before Justice Philp to a charge of failing to identify himself at the scene of an accident. Besides the 90 days, he was sentenced to pay $4.15 court costs. He was involved in a collision on the Union City road with a car driven by Forrest Pillars, 36, of Burlington. Miss Lena Shultz of Burlington was a passenger in the Pillars car. Mr.

Pillars told state police that he tried to write down the license number of Garfield's car, but before he could do so, Garfield knocked him down. Miss Schultz told police she also tried to take the number and Garfield struck her, too. Garfield admitted striking Mr. Pillars, but not Miss Schultz. Then, said Mr.

Pillars, Garfield bent the license plate on his car so it couldn't be read and drove away. State police arrested Garfield after Mr. Pillars gave them a description of the man and car. In his overalls, police found the slip of paper on which Pillars had written the license number. They also found that he was driving while his operator's license was revoked.

Still to be acted upon are two warrants charging Garfield with assault and battery. An old offender, Garfield was last in jail last fall for 90 days for a knife assault in a beer tavern. BAD CHECK PASSED Police are tracing the author of a bad check passed at the Kroger store at Bidwell and Southwest Capital avenue. The check, drawn on the Michigan National bank, was for $59 and was signed K. Ward ft by W.

Miller." The store manager believes It was passed by a woman. A Thrifty Man Is Never Poor A Spendthrift Is Never Rich 'Where Thousands he is "on the right track," as he puts it, with his voice methods. "I learned that Signor DeMuro employs many of the teaching tchniques that I had used," Mr. Richards notes. "There are a number of theories about voice teaching.

I believed sincerely that I was using the best methods. This summer of study reinforced my opinion on that matter." Under Signor DeMuro, Mr. Richards studied intensively the "bel canto" or "free singing" method, the diaphramatic system of voice which has produced so many immortal singers of opera. While Mr. Richards once was regarded as a "better than average" vocalist, he is now interested in teaching, and his study under the Italian voice master was directed to that end.

Living Conditions Bad Mr. Richards is enthusiastic about the native Italian love for good music, which extends to the youngest children, but he is less enthusiastic about Italian living conditions in most cases. "Walking down the streets of an Italian city, one hears little children singing arias from opera. Where else does that he asks. "The children don't learn that music in the schools; they pick it up in family circles.

The Italians truly are a nation of music lovers. "I attended a number of symphony orchestra concerts in Rome. They are held at the Constantine basilica, the ruins of an old church. Only the stage is left. The night the orchestra presented Beethoven's 9th symphony, the place was so overrun with humanity, that one could not see the orchestra or hardly hear the music.

The Italians sat there and sang the Imagine!" Likes Italian Opera Mr. Richards also fell in love with opera, Italian style. The summer operas were held at the ruins of the Caracalla baths. There are now only pillars and archways. "No public address system was used, but the voices of the singers carried well over a 100-piece orchestra," Mr.

Richards notes. "The equipment and staging are immense. In one of the eight operas there were at xone time on the stage 1,000 persons and six horses! For another opera the scenery included a waterfall 135 feet high!" Admission was cheap, by American standards-" no more than the price of a movie. There were 800 and 300 lire admissions, about $120 and 50 sents. "Darned If this tent the slmpllst government form rve seen yet." The veteran In the post office lobby seemed to voice the opinion of most others as they began filing out applications yesterday for their National Service life insurance dividends.

All That's Needed Name, address, date of birth, and service serial number was all the applicant had to know. "What, no shoe size?" one ex-GI said laughingly, probably remembering the time when the size of a man's feet seemed to be the essential data necessary for winning the war. Those who had made a point of forgetting their serial numbers began digging in billfolds for some clue to their identities in the un-lamented regimentation of a few years ago. "You mean to say you've forgotten that number after using it four one woman asked her husband, who was digging through the contents of a leather purse. "Listen, honey," he shot back, "it's taken me three years to forget it and it wasnt easy." $175 Is Average Many applicants wanted to know how much they could expect on the deal.

When told that $175 would MANY MISTAKES Despite the simplicity of the insurance dividend forms, two-thirds or more of them are being filled out Inaccurately or incompletely, the postoffice reported today. Most mistakes are being made in the section for serial numbers. These should be put in the spaces headed "Enlisted." "Officer" or "Other." "Yes" or No" answers are not proper In these spaces. A veteran who was both enlisted and commissioned should enter both numbers. He should be sure tD enter his branch of service, army, navy or whatever.

be about average, one veteran offered, after blowing the ink dry on the form, "Well, I hope that for once rm above average." Another nearby suggested he wouldn't squawk if he got the normal fee, and his friend of the moment agreed. Distributors of the forms reported the only difficulty encountered in filling them out was in the section requiring the applicant's serial number. "Some fellows seem to think they have to put their entire service record in that one official said. "If they can get their whole military history in that little space," he added, "they weren't in the service long enough to expect much of an insurance dividend." Early Rash Officials reported no immediate rush for the applications. Busiest periods yesterday were those before most people go to work in the morning and during the noon lunch hour.

Veterans still have plenty of time to make application. Any veteran who held a National Service life insurance policy for at least 90 days may expect a cut from the $2300,000,000 "pie" which win be sliced the early part of nexi Application blanks are available in Battle Creek at the ttea cross, vci-Administration.

PICNIC CANCELLED A picnic planned for Wednesday at 6 p. at Willard park to compliment Dr. J. T. McDonald of Monroe, has been cancelled.

Dr. McDonald, visiting Mrs. Joe Stout of East Leroy on his first vacation in 50 years, had to return Tuesday to Tennessee because one of his par lent became critically ill. Many oi the doctors former patients now reside in this vicinity. BRIDGE THROUGH RIVER LANSING (SPy Here's a bridge which carries traffic "through" not "over" a river.

The state highway department said it had completed rehabilitation of a 292-foot, eight-span bridge on US -2 "through" the Manistique river in Manistique. The bridge is unusual because the roadway is below the waterlevel of the river. Reinforced concrete railings act as dams. CAR KILLS GIRL. DETROIT JP Five-year-old Eva Rodriguez of Ecorse was killed Monday when struck by a car driven by a neighbor.

Alfred G. (Giff) Richards, consultant in vocal music in the Battle Creek public schools and director of the Community Chorus, is back from a summer spent in Italy where he studied voice methods with Bernardo DeMuro, one of Italy's greatest voice teachers and the former leading tenor of the LaScala opera company of Rome. Two Battle Creek girls were also privileged to study under Sig-nor DeMuro. They are Miss Helen Earl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Elwyn Earl of 159 Sharon avenue, RICHARDS and Miss Athana-cea Hirakas, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Peter Hirakis of 139 College. They are still in Italy and will sail from France, September 6, arriving In New York City on September 15. Arrangements for the two young ladies and for Mr. Richards were made by J.

Herbert Swanson, head of the voice department of Michigan State college, who himself made the trip. The two girls will be juniors at MSC this fall. Visit Is Shortened Mr. Richards left Italy two weeks earlier than he had planned, after hearing from his wife, who was in Pelican Rapids, for the summer, that their daughter, Cynthia, 2, had acute tonsilitis and possibly polio. Further diagnosis showed no polio, however.

Mr. Richards left Italy August 16. caught a plane from Paris, August 19. and arrived in Connecticut on the lst. By the time he got to Pelican Rapids, the home of Mrs.

Richards' parents, Cynthia was completely recovered. Mr. Richards' happiest experience of the summer was in learning that WEATHER FORECASTS in. S. Weather Bureau) Lower Michigan Clearing and cool tonight.

A LETTER j0estSue: I eef ne oipp--. skirt r' peter more A 5 toedo7f 'eft I i Loaof ove; Live Well in Rome The 10 persons in Mr. Swanson's group which included besides Mrs. Swanson, Mr. Richards, and the two local girls, six other students, lived well in Rome, but not up to Amen can standards by all criteria.

"At the pensione where we ate we dined like kings," says Mr. Rich ards. "We could have had chicken everyday if we chose. It was reputed to be the best cuisine in Rome, and I believe it must have been. We had five and six course meals everyday.

There is no food shortage in Italy not for Ameri cans with money. "The first pensione where we were to live was unfortunately ver in-ridden, so we moved to a sec ond, at Via Sistina 4. This proved to be quite clean, but we still had to furnish our own linens and personal necessities. We also got one bath a week which cost 300 lire, 150 cents, exactly half the cost of one week's room rent of 600 lire, or $1." Encounter Many Hawkers All of Italy does not live so well. "Walking down the streets, one is stopped half a dozen times in each block by persons having goods or services- to sell.

A favorite item is the 'parkher 51' fountain pen, guaranteed to be made in the United States, and selling for 6,000 lire, or about $10. The seller rapidly reduces he price and the location of manufacture, however. "A pen guaranteed to be made in the U. S. and selling for $10 becomes a pen made in Canada and selling for $5, and eventually, when the peddler sees that you're wise to him hell tell you it is a fountain pen made in Milan and selling for whatever youll pay." Transportation is cheap considering the price of gasoline, about 85 cents a gallon.

The students in Mr. Swanson's group rode to Signor De Muro 's villa near Anzio, a distance of 40 miles for about 40 cents. But the transportation is not the most comfortable in the worla.
