Sunday, October 17, 1948. The Terre Haute Tribune-Star. 13 Noted Educators Here Saturday Discuss Life and Current Events One of the leading educators, Dr. Frederick L. Hovde, president of Purdue University, as well as an outstanding midwest industrialist.

Robert Shattuck. vice president of the Marbon Corporation, Gary. voiced their opinions of world conditions as they exist today, at the Rose Polytechnic Institute commencement Saturday. Dr. Hovde delivered the commencement address, while Mr.

Shattuck was the alumni speaker. men and agencies of men in a technilogical society are interdependent, not only within the nation, but also CRISS LEVIES HEAVY FINES $25 and Costs Assessed Against Motorists Fined. I said Dr Hovde. men are interdependent, then this very intrq- dependency requires some degree of subordination to the welfare of 1 man. or one group of men, cannot be given unlicensed freedom, to injure or destroy other dependent are not their own masters; they must serve others also.

purpose or objective of social organization and govern-; ment is human welfare. Further-; more, that progress toward this objective is so necessary that any particular political system will fail and be supplanted by another system. if men do not see progress, democracy is superior to; all other forms of organization with which men have had experience. because it recognizes and is consistent with the atomistic nature of atoms being individual men in my analogy. Our human atoms contain all the energy of the social organization; have intelligence; are capable of imagination; possess spirit and emotion; can accept; retain and give out quanta of sensory stimuli, and can be or put into a condition of ability to number of such men being dependent on the body politic.

our human atoms posses several priceless degrees of freedom! In other words, I assume that any form of social tion must be in accord with the nature of man or it must fail because it correspond with truth. men must work or produce, because what we have is the sum total of what all the elements of society contribute. Whatever leisure we have now or in the future must first be earned by those who expect to enjoy it. Modem Challenge. repeat, the first and major challenge to educated men is the challenge of the problem of governing ourselves as individuals, as a nation, as one world.

The democratic system requires capable citizen to perform the act governing, to exercise political judgment, to make free choice among alternatives. The act of governing requires knowledge, the capacity to think, the will to do and the purpose or goal to be achieved. Thus, in fact, the education of the individual is the supreme requirement for effective far we all agree, but someone asks, what kind of education how do we achieve Here the fun begins and the ideas start to flow, but the answers are not never have been satisfactory since men first began to talk about the art and science of education. However, some progress has been made. We have learned a good deal about human science and why we think and behave as we do.

knowledge of man is basic to the problem before us. Here again I believe certain simple, demonstrable facts are determinative for all educational processes. It is the individual who learns, who thinks, who acts. Hence all educational processes must be directed and considered in terms of the individual learner. The remarkable fact of individual differences must be recognized at all times.

The learning experience occurs continuously in time throughout life and the learning experience of the ment of home, community and job likely has more effect on him than the formal experience of the Mr. Shattuck's Talk. Mr. Shattuck, in part, said one of the grandest things that has happened in this country in recent years has been the trip of the Freedom Train sponsored by the American Heritage Foundation. This has given milions of Americans an opportunity to see the famous documents that mark the beginning of our government.

Those inspired documents based on freedom of the individual created a climate in which the system of private endeavor could flourish. This is a cornerstone of our economy. brilliant engineering and without an economic system wherein development and growth are encouraged present production records would have been sible. Without these developments the outcome of World War II would have beqn far different. We would not be holding this graduation exercise and you would not have had to sit here and listen to this speech.

Our economic system is not perfect. It is capable of being refined, but we should careful not to follow false prophets who seek to modify the fundamentals of such a dynamic system. things better, faster and cheaper is an business Consequently you can make untold contributions to the welfare of all people but we should not forget your obligations as citizens to take interest in our government. part in local civic organizations.

Support actively those things you believe to be right and oppose those things that appear wrong. I should like to say something about the job you will soon take as well as the other Jobs you may hold in years to come. I do not believe that I have any special qualifications for offering advice but I should like to pass along to you an observation made by a member of the Rose faculty when I attended here.

It has to do with your personality. He said, degree of success you achieve will depend on how well you are liked by others more than it will on your own technical NEW YORK. Oct. The of Hailey comet returns again next week. The in this case is the Orionid meteors left in the orbit of the famous comet that last was seen by eye in 1910.

They are, called the Orionid meteors because they appear to come from the constellation of Orion in the eastern sky. The meteors are due on thei night of Oct. 22. although some times they may be visible the night before and for several nights; after. In years gone by, the Orionid meteors have put on a spectacular showf, but Gordon Atwater, curator of the Hayden Planetarium of the American Museum of Natural History, said today that this showr may be ordinary.

The meteors are visible because the earth is near the orbit of comet on the night of Oct. 22. The meteors, however, are only tiny specks of cosmic dust and they do not become visible until they shoot into the at-j mosphere. Then in a split second or so they blaze white hot from friction and usually burn out before hitting the surface. The Orionid meteors hold attention of astronomers because of their relationship to comet.

The comet was so named because the British astronomer. Edmund Hailey, predicted the 65- year cycle of the comet. He first observed the comet in 1682 and I predicted its return in 1759. The comet, now far out in space on Its 75-year cycle, is expected to return in 1985. CHINA TO GET DESTROYER ESCORTS WASHINGTON, Oct.

16 Department officials said today that two U.S. Navy destroyer escorts being outfitted at Norfolk for delivery to China are part! of the naval aid program under which the Chinese get up to 271 vessels. The destroyer escorts, developed during the last war as anti-sub- mar- 3 craft, ere described by officials as the largest naval craft going to China under the program, Officials said hat the program was authorized by a law passed in July. 1946, permitting transfer of a total of 271 naval craft. This included more than 90 ships which the Chinese received under lend- lease and for hich special au- thorization had to be made if the Chinese were to keep them.

An agreement between the U.S. and China covering the whole program was signed and made public in December, 1947. YOUR TRIBUNE WrANT ADS. Fines totaling $220 were assessed by Judge Herbert R. Crisv against defendants who appeared in City Court Saturday.
