welfars (sic); co-operation and community
chests have had a hard row to hoe because
they demand acceptance by a social group.
Moreover, scientific inventions are
saleable -- there is profit in them; social
inventions may be just as profitable to the
community but usually they do not touch the
individual pocket so demonstrably. Sanita-
tion may be profitable to a community, but
to convince the group of this is often a
difficult task.

Frequently education cannot foresee the
changes which scientific inventions will
make in social life. How could education
have anticipated the changes in social life
which the motor car and the radio have
brought about? Life is changing all the
time and the school cannot prepare for a
stable life as it did in pre-scientific
days. Hence education must, perforce, go
on throughout life. One of the major tasks
of Adult Education is to bridge this ga :
between scientific and Siiiay atooease part of the College-wide professional days
The bridging cannot be done once and for in May.

Communication Conference
Set For DC

 

It Could Happen To You!
| |

As you may be aware from recent editions of
the Mad Hatter, we experienced our very
first cardiac arrest in the physical ed-
ucation department during the early part of
January. The student in question had no
history of heart problems, jogged everyday,
did not smoke or drink and was not over-
weight.

The medical profession has not yet deter-
'mined what caused the "death" but have said
that it could have happened any time, any-
where.
