Postpone Decision On Adult Diplomas Educators Assail Diploma Mill Plan \ Indianapolis, Dec. 4 —• (UP).— Indiana’s‘state education board top day postponed a decision on er Hoosier adults who never finished high school will be allowed to obtain diplomas by passing a Id-hour armed forces test. The plan, suggested recently by superintendent of public » instruction Wilbur Young, was criticized soundly by various educational factions at a public hearing yesterday. i Opposition to the proposal centered on its "wholesale” aspects and suitability. Young admitted there was "considerable opposition” but did not know if the opposition was sufficient to defeat the plan. A. C. Senour, East Chicago superintendent of schools, suggested that the matter be postponed for further study at the board’s Dec; 14 meeting, and his recommendation was approved. By the; proposal; non-military adults could take the armed forces institute test, and high school diplomas would be issued to those who pass. The test currently is used to determine if war veterans should be granted diplomas without returning to school to make up credits they missed. E. E. Binford of Bloomington, president of the Indiana State Teachersl’ association, recommended the plan be given further study. He. warned against “wholesale” granting of diplomas. The Indiana Classroom Teachers’ association said it ( opposed “any move which would tend to weaken the effectlveuess of the public school and Rep. Robert S. Justice, Logansport, said the test was “comparatively simple.” Justice said he was told any “average eighth grader” could pass it. . > ■; KYoung said the board also will consider if the test should be offered to men, in service during the Korean war. ———-"f— ■ i J' COMMISSIONERS <€»■ tinned Frot Pag* M—) f company which is closest to any particular highway job.
