Urges Teachers Not Neglect Humanities Handley Is Speaker At Founders' Day TERRE HAUTE HP Governor Handley urged future teachers to not neglect the humanities while concentrating on science in the new "space age." The Indiana chief executive said in a Founders’ Day address at Indiana State Teachers College that "it would be a fatal mistake for Americans to learn hiw to die together withput first learning how to live together." ■_ "The need of America is great to give full play to the great talent of most Americans for inventiveness, for creative thinking, and for developing technical proficiency.” Handley said. "But at the 'same time. I am sure, you will not be neglecting the humanities." Handley told students training to become scijqol teachers that they will "face the constant problem pf .keeping abreast of rapidly changing times, and of presenting to your pupils each day the challenge to think which is the basis of all teaching." “The pressure is increasing,” he said, "to supply more mathematics and science teachers ip the elementary grades as well as in our high schools. Emphasis on introducing science* to younger children is one of the assignments of the Special Indiana Commission on General Education which has been appointed to consider numerous aspects of this problem. The entire educational process is futile unless America's children are aroused to pursue-their own individual inquiry,”Handley told the future teachers that they are "certain to benefit . . . in the nationwide upgrading of brainpower." "Yours is a time-honored profession which will increase in stature as our rockets Soar higher and our space ships -probe for new woYlds to develop," he said.
