6. Yes I Can, Davis and Boyar (9)
Russell G. Davis, associate director of the Center for Studies in Education and Development, will go to Vietnam this spring as a member of a mission to study its needs in health and education. He was appointed by John W. Gardner, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.
The members of the mission will spend eight to ten days in South Vietnam evaluating the programs already in progress and determining what new programs are necessary for social and economic development. Francis Keppel, U.S. Commissioner of Education and former dean of the School of Education will head the subgroup...
Although education in Vietnam has developed surprisingly since 1954, Davis said yesterday, he feels that non-academic education, such as industrial training and perhaps an apprentice system, must be emphasized.
Davis feels strongly, however that the United States should devote more effort to economic and social development in Vietnam. "Vietnam needs to become economically viable, to develop human resources--otherwise it won't prosper no matter who's running it."
