WAYNE MORSE, Chairman, Senate Committee on Education, DEAR SENATOR MORSE: Advocates of the National Education Improvement Act maintain that it will promote the quality of education, but will it? In the foreign language field a group of graduate school professors have sold Congress a program for the benefit of the graduate schools. Unfortunately, by the time a student gets to graduate school it is too late to start learning a foreign language. The present National Defense Education Act does nothing to encourage students to study foreign languages in the secondary schools or as undergraduates in college. Yet these same educators admit that this is where foreign languages should be studied. When asked why most of the money is then spent on programs in the graduate schools, they answer that this is the only type of legislation that they can get passed or that they are opposed to encouraging a specific subject (except in the graduate schools, of course). A program that paid $50 a month to undergraduates who had done well in a foreign language in high school for the purpose of studying an unusual or a second language would do more to encourage the study of foreign languages in the public schools and the colleges than all of the present provisions put together. Certainly, when the State Department has had to abandon its foreign language entrance examination due to the poor preparation of undergraduates. the present graduate school-oriented program cannot be considered a success Sincerely yours, CLARK GALLAHER, Head, Department of Foreign Languages. B'NAI B'RITH VOCATIONAL SERVICE, Hon. WAYNE MORSE, Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. DEAR SENATOR MORSE: Some time ago you were kind enough to let me know that you have used my book, entitled "Scholarships, Fellowships, and Loans," as resource material for hearings on Federal aid to education. I am very much concerned about some of the articles by Sidney A. Eisenberg that have appeared in various newspapers. He claims that college is for the asking and that scholarships are going begging. He quotes that $30 million in funds are left unused. In my judgment these facts are incorrect and are causing a great deal of harm not only to the young people who are in need of help but also to pending legislation, to people who are interested in establishing additional student-aid funds, and to administrators of existing funds. Approximately one quarter of a million copies of the enclosed article that I wrote for the Occupational Outlook Quarterly have been distributed. This article presents the need for further student-aid funds and gives an accurate picture of the field today. In my opinion it can help counteract the misinfor mation in the article by Sidney A. Eisenberg that has been printed in many newspapers all over the United States. If possible, I would like to see "Latest Information on Scholarships in the Space Age" reprinted in the Congressional Record. Your reply will be awaited with interest. Cordially, S. NORMAN FEINGOLD. |
