AA-7 Mr. J. Glen Elford At the rate at which knowledge is growing, by the time the child born today graduates from college, the amount of knowledge in the world will be four times as great. By the time that same child is 50 years of age, it will be 32 times as great and 9'7Uio of everything known in the world at that time will have been learned since he was born. -Dr. Robert Hilliard, Federal Communications Commission, U .S .A If this trend continues, then it seems to me that education must serve two functions in our society. First, it must be a social process by which we transmit to the emergent generation those traditional aspects of our culture that are considered fundamental and vital for its stability and survival. Second, it must depart from traditional forms-- to train leaders for advancement of the group, for the development of new ideas, and for readjustment to changing environment. The blending of these two impulses--tradition and change-- will determine the varying forms of education and the society it serves. No doubt the proportions of these two elements will be modified from time to time, butl do not think that either can be ignored without mining the product. As colleagues in the business of edu- cating future generations, I hope that you will be successful in measuring and mixing these components with care and precision. Education will not produce a rich society--but only a rich society can afford the luxury of education. I .G.E.
