With Sputniks and Explorers circling the earth in ever widening orbits, men will soon know by experience the conditions on the moon. Offspring of the rush for space are such popular songs as One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying Purple People Eater, which also marks so well the Rock and Roll craze which has American teenagers in its clutch. Because of the fast rise of Russia in the scientific world of man-made satellites, the United States has become acutely aware of its education problem, and more and more emphasis is being made on science and math in the schools.
