Putnam County's Dr. Irwin on post-graduate education cites new training methods
Editor’s Note: Dr. Irwin is a native of Roachdale and a member of the Putnam County Hall of Fame. When a doctor, a lawyer, or any other professionallytrained person graduates from Indiana University, it is not the end of learning. Actually it’s the beginning of a lifetime of study and professional practice. Those who say education is not what it used to be are right and it’s a good thing. Each year Indiana University turns out thousands of professionally trained persons, but the job doesn’t end there. Dr. Glenn W. Irwin Jr., Indiana University vice president-Indianapolis, talked about this in an interview: “Thousands of businessmen, physicians, lawyers, nurses, dentists, and teachers return to I.U. campuses each year for courses, seminars, lectures, conventions, and institutes which are developed to bring new knowledge and new developments to their attention.” Dr. Irwin, who is former dean of the School of Medicine at Indianapolis, explained why this is so important: “The body of knowledge in each of the professions is changing and expanding so rapidly that a student can no longer be prepared for perhaps half a century of practice in a profession by spending a few years as a student in a

professional school. These years of full-time schooling only prepare the student to begin practice.” No longer is the emphasis in professional schools on simply acquiring bodies of factual knowledge. These change too quickly, Dr. Irwin pointed out. There has been a shift toward teaching systems of knowledge and the foundations of principles into which the practitioner can integrate all that he must learn during his career. “Students now need much more than good memories to get through I.U.’s professional schools,” Dr. Irwin said. The concept of continuing education in professional fields has been adopted by many professions whose professional societies require their members to complete formal, continuing education programs every year as a condition of membership, Dr. Irwin said. Not all the continuing professional education is done on the I.U. campuses. Faculty members from the professional schools leave their campus to address professional organizations meeting elsewhere, and they also teach courses for professional personnel throughout the state. They present papers at regional and national conventions of various professions, and edit professional publications, which is another way of keeping professional people informed on new discoveries and trends

in their field. Another way in which continuing education is carried to professional people across the state is through the Indiana Higher Education Telecommunications System’s television network. This system reaches all of the larger cities in the state, and is used for continuing education courses, seminars, and informative meetings, Dr. Irwin said. Who are these professional people and where are they? They are products of Indiana’s higher education system, a large number of which, are from I.U. Where do you see them? Dr. Irwin commented: “You see them in community hospital operating rooms, nurses stations, dietitians’ kitchens, and in all the paramedical areas which hospitals require. You see them in the courtroom, both on the bench and as lawyers for the prosecution and for the defense. “The news reporters and editors for the printed and electronic media; teachers and administrators in the local and state schools; corporation executives and their staffs; dentists, optometrists, librarians, coaches, and teachers of health and education are among these professionally trained people who are continuing their proefssional growth through the methods we, have described.” Not only is there initial and continued training of professional personnel at Indiana University, there are new techniques and procedures being developed through research. These are made available to Indiana professional people and to others across the nation, Dr. Irwin said.

Ladies , don’t scuttle the ship of chivalry Leo Tolstoy, Russian author of an earlier day, once dared to say: “When I have one foot in the grave, I will tell the truth about women. I shall tell it, jump into my coffin, pull the lid over me, and say, ‘Dowhatyoulikenow’.” This article was written by Banner-Graphic Civic Editor David Barr. With trepidation and with tongue in cheek, we are prompted to comment on the Equal Rights Ammendment, a movement the ladies have currently in foment. After all, newspapermen have never been famous for staying out of places off limits to angels. Our concern is kindly. Should such a measure become the law of our land, it seems to us that the gals would be surrending sovereignties they have been able to wheedle from their families and society since the day Eve accepted only partial blame for the apple episode. In the field of administering oral medicine, for example, father has traditionally been the ugly ogre who scared Junior into swallowing his castor oil, the one potion whose performance potential is yet to questioned by the Food and Drug Administration. Under ERA, mother would be the one to fall from favor if she assumed the firm ferocity to man (oops) we mean to woman the spoon. Then picture the family upheaval when Junior comes home with a report card lettered too near the center of the alphabet. It has long been advocated, by women, of course, that cranial density came from father’s side of the house, but now under rules of absolute equality, mother out of fairness must concede that some of her lineage may have been a mite touched in the head. Coming home from a man (oops again) woman-killing day at the office, mother might be greeted by the former undisputed head of the household who, with arms akimbo and thumbs hooked in his apron band, would relate Junior’s infractions of the day. Only by threats of gettin>, his comeuppance when his mother got home has the lad been held in semi-subjection. There’s never been much equality at weddings. At best, the bridegroom has been a second rate member of the cast. Now could it be that under ERA the traditional role of the bride will be downgraded? Under full emancipation, will the bride, too, emerge from the woodwork at the back of the sanctuary and meet the groom on equal terms before the altar. And after all is said and done, whose last name will be appearing on the mailbox? Girls, have you considered what might happen to oldfashioned chivalry which has long been the mark of a true gentleman? Under the Equal Rights statute, shouldn’t the woman take her turn walking next to the curb and assume the risk of being sloshed by passing vehicles? “Ladies first” has always been a slogan of the courteous Col 1, back page, this section

The Greencastle Christian Church has announced plans for relocation, and construction of a new Worship facility.

ployer throughout the year. C.I.T. Income Tax Service specialists advise gathering all records of payments for deductible expenses prior to filing. Such expenses could include medical bills, mortgage interest, loan and charge account interest, state and local taxes and contributions to churches and charities. Refunds may also occur when an individual has had two or
groups pay that amount, if possible. Actual cost for each child is over S2OO for the 12-day stay. Through interested individuals and organizations, the balance of the cost is absorbed, through gifts, by the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association. Camp sessions are early this year, which means we must have the completed applications in our office not later than May 1. Each application must be completed by the parents (or guardian) with
round education services. The organization maintains a full time Medical Advisory Council to offer medical advice to physicians of stricken families, and the group also offers referrals to most social organizations for further assistance. In some cases,
