Belfast was dressed in colorful

with soldiers especially trained to
protect the heir .to the i British

The elaborate precautions were
taken because of protests of Irish
Nationalists against the visit and
recent and serious unemployed
rioting in which several lives were
lost.
As the Prince’s ship slipped in
nine bomhing planes flew low over

Faith of Masses
In Education Is
Firm, Says Soule
WASHINGTON, D. €, — “There
is no group of people in our coun
try upon whom a greater or graver
responsibility now rests than those |
engaged in the fields of educa,tlon"
and research,” said Dr. Andrew M.
Soule, president of the Georgia
State .College of Agriculture and
Mechanic |Arts, in an address de
livered at a meeting of the Ass B
o- of Land Grant Colleges in|
Washington, D. C., Wednesday. The |
address was broadcast over a na
tion-wide radio hook-up.
Pointing out that much criti
cism has recently centered upon
the idea that the country’s present
troubles are chargeable to the
failure of educational motivation,
Dr. Soule ‘said that the faith of
the mass of people in education’s
fundamental value and importance
is still unshaken.
“What we need to do under the
circumstances is to develop a new
educational consciousness and re
concentrate our best efforts upon
the sound reorganizatioen of all na
tional activities along those lines
sest cglculated to serve and ad
rance the interests of the people,”
stated Dr. Soule in citing the need
»f a new educational conscious
ness,
Greater diversity along educa
tional lines is one of the most ur
gent needs of the country at the
sresent. he said in discussing the
methods in which. natioral resour-
ces may be used most advantag
sously. The fact that the cult by
which -educational has been Ted has
had téo narrow a vision, even to
this day, still desires to empha
sizes a few things at the expense
of many, was emphasized by Dr.
Soule.
“Homemaking should be the
sreatest and most profound of all
‘he professions; but we have so or
vanizéd our thinking as to lead
:hm:gds of girls who are now
*nroi%flin colleges to believe that
it is undignified and mnot worth
th for them to understand how
0 care for a home and raise fine
and heaithy children therein for
the perpetuation and general uplift
of the race, Dr. Soule said, in com
menting on a change in education
i\l procedure.
Elimination as “promptly as pos
sible” of the uninterested student,
and initiation of support and rec
ognition of the many boys and girls
»f limited means who face serious
financial embarrassment in order
to obtain an education, was advo
cated by Dr. Soule. Calling for a
more upright attitude on the part
of educational leaders, he asked
that they begin now to “‘winnow
the chaff from the straw” and gel
over the obsession that “mere num
bers make an institution.”
“Let us therefore reconsecrate
and dedicate ourselves to the im
mortal trinity of objectives which
center in education, patriotism.
and religion. These are the three
guiding motivations through which
our nation can rise to renewed
heights of glory and achievement.”
said Dr. Soule in conclusion,
