Duke educator talks at college Teachers must stop asking stu dents to learn unimportant ans wers to unimportant questions, Dr. William Cartwright, chairman of the Department of Education at Duke University, said in a speech at New’berry College Thursday night. “Education must do a bet ter job in the future than at has in the past,” he asserted. The speech entitled “Teachers For America” was the second pro gram presented by the Newberry College Arts and Lecture Series this season. Dr. A.G.D. Wiles, president of the College, introduc ed the speaker. Referring to the problem facing public education in the South to day, Dr. Cartwright said that re sponsible educators agree that the answer is “to find ways to secure better teachers.” This is the prob lem, not integration or federal in volvement, he said. He noted that today teachers are expected to be well prepared, to finish college and to go to grad uate school. “Only in the present generation has the United States demanded good teachers,” he said. The term, liberal education, should be used in reference to the process rather than a study, ac cording to Dr. Cartwright. “Lib eral education is a myth,” he said. “We can’t expect an institu tion to provide a liberal educa tion; but a student may expect to get a start with a liberal edu cation.” Dr. Cartwright expressed the opinion that professional aspects of teacher education must be car ried out in the liberal arts schools. Freedom may be earned at a lib eral arts college, he said. “Free dom of any kind is of little use to those who don’t make the most of it.” Mrs. Attaway rites Thursday Mrs. Willie Allen Attaway, 57, died suddenly at her home on the Jolly Street Road early Wednes day morning.
