WASHINGTON — The legislative program which President Eisenhower presents to Congress next January will include several proposals for strengthening American education. The President is expected to repeat his plea for large-scale federal financial aid for classroom construction. This was defeated by a close vote in the House at the last session. Recent disclosures that Russia is “outeducating” America in the vital fields of science and engineering may improve its chances next year. Other measures which the President considers necessary

are:

1. A nationwide system for testing high school students. Academic standards of high schools now vaiy so widely by communities that the average diploma is virtually meaningless. Administering uniform tests to all students would enable each school to see how its standards compare with the rest of the country, and would put pressure on lax schools to tighten up. There is likely to be strenuous opposition to this idea from some state education officials who see it as a device for the federal government to set minimum requirements for high school diplomas. 2. Financial incentives for high-aptitude students to pursue scientific or professional studies. Russia channels the top 30 per cent of its high school graduates into institutions of higher learning to be trained as scientists, engineers or teachers. Soviet students who make good grades are actually paid a salary for attending college. In America, where the cost of attending college averages $1500 a year, only about half of the high school graduates with above average IQs go on to higher institutions. 3. An expanded program to improve the quality of science and mathematics teaching in U. S. schools. About $15 million is being spent this year on such projects. The National Science Foundation, for example, has awarded grants totalling $4,350,000 to 17 colleges to conduct training institutes for high school math and science teach-

ers.

4 Fellowships for college students preparing for teaching careers. These presumably would be concentrated in the fields of mathematics and science, where the most ea/ute shortage of high school teachers now exist. Even if all of these proposals are approved, federal authorities say they will not add up to a complete remedy for America's educational problems. The biggest part of the job of planning and financing better schools will continue to rest with local communities. Marion B. Folsom, secretary | of health, education and welfare, warned that this job cannot be done cheaply. ‘•The dollar cost of meeting our increased educational needs will be immense by current standards.” he said. “But our concern should center on the far greater cost of not meeting the challenge that faces American education.” America is the richest nation in the world, he said, and there is no question that we can afford a top-notch school system if we really want it.

ENTERS POSSIBLE CRUC IAL STAGE IN HIS LATEST ILLNESS WASHINGTON UP — The White House announced today that President Eisenhower is making "excellent” progress. WASHINGTON UP President Eisenhower entered the possibly crucial stage of his latest illness today under the eyes of doctors keeping a day-and-night vigil at the White House. Eisenhower’s physicians believed the President has an excellent chance to recover from a mild stroke that has had a slight but temporary effect on his speech. However the doctors kept a close watch because in some cases a mild stroke is followed by a more severe one. The general feeling among medical authorities was that the next two or three days should determine the pattern of Eisenhower's latest illness. The President's Hidden setback lhat struck Monday afternoon after he had greeted King Mohammed V of Morocco at National Airport in chilly weather was described officially as "an occlusion of a small branch of a cerebral brain vessel.” This is medical terminology for a “mild stroke.” ■ The President was reported having hesitancy in pronouncing some difficult words but improvement in his speech was noted Tuesday night before lie went to bed. The doctors said the illness should pass with several weeks’

rest.

The Chief Executive was able to be up and about the White House although confined to h;s second floor quarters. White House Press Secretary Janies C. Hagerty, who rushc l back from Paris when he was told of the President’s illness, advised newsmen shortly befoio midnight the President was keeping soundly after eating a ight supper with Mrs. Kiseniower in the living room of ttv tr mite. They watched television ‘’or about two hours, Hagercy

said.

Acting White House Press Secretary Anne Wheaton was hit by i barrage of questions when oho issued the medical bulletin. At one point during her news conference she said that the President has suffered a “slight itroke.” Under pressuring question*!, she called Dr. Snyder and later aid this was not accurate that there was no evidence of a cerebral hemorrahge. Eisenhower, who ^offered a aeart attar k at Denver in September, 1955, went to the Wash(Continued on Page 2)
