"Even for the average pupils," he said, "these subjects are not mentally stimulating they barely touch his mind." Rickover warned that this country may have to make a choice between better education or a lower standard of living. "If we develop all our human resources," he said, "we shall still be able to insure high standard of living to our children and grandchildren.

But it cannot be done with 180-day school years, driver training courses and print shop in high school." He also called for an overhaul of the nation's teacher colleges, with more stress on the subject matter to be taught and less on the methods and psychology of teaching.

H. G. Rickover, father of the atomic submarine, loosed a verbal broadside at "progressive" education and called for a complete overhaul of American public schools.

"The chronic shortage of good scientists, engineers and other professionals which plagues us is the result of time wasted in public schools which must be made up later on," he said. Rickover, in an address prepared for the 50th anniversary celebration of St. Alban's School, an Episcopal boys' school, reserved his sharpest criticism for the "life adjustment" courses favored by followers of the late John Dewey. Dewey, the acknowledged leader of the progressive education forces, held that "the school is primarily a social institution" and that "education is a process of living and not a preparation for future living." Rickover, assistant chief of the Navy's Bureau of Nuclear Propulsion, declared: "For all children, the educational process must be one of collection factual knowledge to the limit of their absorptive capacity. Recreation, manual or clerical training, etiquette and similar know-how have little effect on the mind itself and it is with the mind that the school must solely concern itself."

"There's a bomb in your school," a small boy's voice said in a call to the high school office. No sign of an explosive was found by the bomb squad. Police said Arthur Santos, 3G, a teacher at the Bronx Community School, operated by the Seventh Day Adventists, was the; victim of five attackers ranging from about 16 to 18 years old.

Santos and his pupils, all Puerto Ricans aged 12 to 14, were playing softball in Crotona Park in the Bronx when the young hoodlums interrupted them. The five Negroes started to pick fights with the smaller hoys, when Santos stepped in and tried to pitted them.
