Professors Bemoan Lack Os Scientists Deplore Lack Os ■Trained Scientists CHICAGO. (INS) — Will the 1 United States, the world’s greatest industrial nation soon find itself in grave national danger because of a lack of trained scientists? Some educators and scientists think so. They cite the current pressing need- for engineers and scientists, and the growing lack of interest in scientific studies on the part of the nation’s high school age youths. Other Fields Some professors also point to their difficulties in attracting and holding students interested in the sciences. One physicist complained recently: “We are losing some of our best students to other fields, particularly psychology.” The picture these scientists give must be evaluated against the background of a U. S. government survey indicating that by iB6O the Russians will be turning out each year ten times the number of en-

gineers and scientists trained in the U S. Dean Donald B! Loughrldge, of the Technological Institute at Northwestern University in Bvanston. 111., called the figures "appalling.” . According to Dean Loughrldge, the U. S. is now graduating some 10,000 engineers and 14,000 physicists, chemists and mathematicians a year. He said: “The Russians passed this figure about two years ago and they are graduating an everincreasing number each year, whereas our totals are leveling off. "The demand for engineers and scientists is greater than the supply. as any college graduate with a B.S. knows when starting salaries are quoted. "This is a national problem. We must face it squarely.” .. Loughrldge offered two explanations for America's lag in scientific manpower. He said: "Firet, we are faced with the low birth rate of the 1930 s and the consequently small number of children now of college age. This gives us a small base to work with. f, "Another reason for the present lack of technologists is the decreasing interest in scientific studies among high school graduates." Blames Teaching Dean Loughrldge blamed this in part on "uninspired teaching by science instructors in the nation’s schools. He also critciited what he called “the emphasis on mechanical tinkering rather than on rigorous training in scientific thinking.” He said: "School children are permitted to do what they want — so we get tinkering — instead of doing what we know they should do. That Is, the hard mental work of science. "Teachers can frame the interests of students — particularly )>oys — in elementary scientific things, but it must be more than just playing with electric trains.” Loughrldge offered a third explanation of scientific dis-interest, which was confirmed in part by a group of nuclear physicists at the University of Chicago. He referred to recent cases of "security and loyalty charges involving scientists and said: “Perhaps the vast machinery of investigations and government uses before hiring scientists intimidates or disturbs qualified students.” A nuclear scientist summed it up in a different way: "Maybe the physicists go into fields like psychology and related studies becausq they are So ‘comfortable’ and ‘safe.’
