WORLD NEWSGRAMS by James O. Henry Chairman, History Department, Biota College British Have Their Troubles Too Concern about the preparation of teachers is not confined to this side of the Atlantic. In a letter to The Times of London, Educational Supple ment, a school official describes his experience in interviewing five young candidates for assistant’s posts in pri mary school. “Three were very good (despite a total of eight spelling mis takes in their applications) but not one had much knowledge of history or geography or many ideas of how they might teach these subjects. All were from different training colleges and all had some acquaintance with poetry, programmed learning, color factors, movement, dance and pup- petry, not to mention visio-aural aids.” Out of 74 applicants for the position of principal, “almost every one contained mention of courses or achievements in the above-mentioned esoteric studies. One candidate had attended a course on the teaching of history but none on geography.” II Quotidiano, Catholic daily in Rome, recently published a long arti cle complaining of the large salaries being paid in Italy to football players and popular singers. “Footballers,” the author said, “may earn what they want, even ten times more than an industrialist. They are protected by the fanaticism of millions of en thusiasts. The same applies also to pop singers. A pop singer earns more for one night’s performance than an ordinary worker during a whole year. And who has the courage to touch them? The same goes, too, for actors and actresses, even if they demand hundreds of millions of lire for one film.” Armed Teen-Agers Rob Train Three bandits ranging from 14 to 16 years of age staged an armed train robbery recently in Brooklyn, New York. They held up 15 male passen gers on a Manhattan-bound BMT Brighton Beach line train and escaped with $44 in cash, a wedding ring and a watch. The young robbers intimi dated the passengers with a sawed-off shotgun and a revolver. They de pended more on flourishing the weap ons than on using spoken threats to make themselves understood.
