Aszefwtatztw This year has been a record year at Pittsburg State College in many ways. Enrollment was the largest ever and was still increasing, new buildings were being constructed, and students were displaying new enthusiasm in their educa- tional endeavors. One word probably sums up the situation better than many pages and that word is progression, Yes, progression in nearly all departments was noted. We saw these things coming, in tact they were already here last summer when we began planning the 1948 Kanza. It was then that We decided that something about the Kanza had to be changed too. If something wasn't done, it would become a relic in a modern setting. I t was then that We decided that instead of one book, we would publish two. We had a pair of reasons for believing this would be better: flj Material would be more newsworthy, and C2j More freedom in style would permit us to escape the stereotyped patterns of traditional yearbooks. You'll notice that the book has a larger amount of written material than other books in the past have had. We hope that the copy is so interestingly written that you'll find it not the least bit boring. Here then, is the first installment of a new-style, 1948 Kanza. Hope you enjoy it . . . -WAS. Page 4

5' MWMMZ ' UNESCO's Seminar Workshop, on teaching for international understanding, was held in Sevres in the outskirts of Paris, during the past summer, July 21 to August 29. In attendance were 83 participants, 15 leaders, numerous special lecturers and visitors from many parts of the world. The participants represented every level of education. There were elementary, secondary and college teachers, public school and college admin- istrators, and officials from the State and National Departments of Education. Six came from the United States, seven from China, five from the British Isles, four from Australia, and three from South Africa, in all, thirty-one nations were rep- resented. The delegates generally were appointed by the State Departments upon recommendation of the educational agencies whom they represented. Attending the conference from the United States were: Virginia Kinnaird, a teacher in the Central High School, Fort Wayne, Indiana, re- cently appointed to the Staff of the National Edu- cation Associationg Lewis Latane, head of the French Department at Polytechnic Institution, Baltimore, Maryland, Dr. Raymond F. McCoy, Dean of the Graduate School at Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio, Mason A. Stratton, County Superintendent of Schools, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Dr. Idabelle Yeiser, on leave from Dillard University at New Orleans, and Rees H. Hughes, President, Kansas State Teachers College, Pitts- burg, Kansas. Dr. Howard E. Wilson, formerly a member of the faculty of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and since 1945 Associate Director of the Division of Education, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, was the conference leader. Dr. Wilson was ably assisted by a staff of fourteen, all leaders in their particular fields, and widely representative of the UNESCO member nations. Special lecturers, many of whom were nationally and internationally known, spent from one period to several days in the conference. Visitors came from many parts of the world. Most noted among them, perhaps, was Leon Blum, former president of France, Dr. julian Huxley, Director General, Dr. Walter H. Lavis, Deputy Director General, and many others came from UNESCO Headquarters. The United States dele- gation was particularly glad to welcome Glenn E. Snow, newly elected president of our own National Education Association. The UNESCO seminar was conducted in the Lycee de Sevres, which in 1945 was established by the French Ministry as an educational center for French and foreign teachers. The large build- ing comprises more than 100 rooms for living quarters, and others for dining, science, lectures, library and study. During the winter months, it is used as a progressive school for girls. The build- ing is old, historic in background, commodious, has been recently redecorated inside, and is well kept. A member of the seminar well said that perhaps in all Paris there could not be found a more satis- factory place in which to hold the seminar. The plan of having people of like professional interests living together in such a setting for six weeks provided an excellent opportunity for the delegates to learn the value of acquaintance as a factor in international understanding. The seminar was an experience in international relations. Education for International Under- standing was designated as the theme. In the preliminary announcement, it was stated, The UNESCO Seminar Workshop is being held in order to stimulate thinking and planning by key educators in different countries on ways of foster- ing international understanding among pupils, under the leadership of competent authorities in various phases of international relations and edu- cation for international understanding. These edu- cators will have an opportunity to explore together some of the basic problems of international life today, which must be taken into account in any realistic teaching on world affairs. They will also be able to discuss and compare methods and materials in developing internationally minded pupils. The seminar will include lectures, discus- sions, individual and group projects, films, trips, and informal conversations and contacts, as means fPlease turn to page 86D Page 6
