...teachers, all too often, are trained in schools that offer substandard instruction, skimp courses in academic subjects in favor of courses on teaching method, give far too little practice teaching in actual classrooms. Ticking off these familiar failings this week, the Ford Foundation's President Henry Heald, sometime (1952-56) chancellor of New York University and an old teacher himself (during the '30s he was a professor of civil engineering at Chicago's Armour Institute of Technology), announced an impressive new foundation gift aimed at achieving "a breakthrough in teacher education.'' The donation...
...Ford grants, for the most part, will allow expansion of topflight teacher-training programs already under way. Recipients: Barnard, $70,000; Brown, $1,047,000; Chicago, $2,400,000; California's Claremont Graduate School, $425,000; Duke, $294,210; George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville, Tenn., $600,000; Harvard, $2,800,000; Stanford, $900,000; Wisconsin...
...other hand, Romney will have a problem with some of his dealers. Some 30% of them are auto bigamists; they sell a Big Three car as well as the Rambler, will probably carry the Big Three's line of small cars (though only Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth dealers, of which Rambler has practically none, are expected to). Romney hopes that his hard core of 2,800 dealers will stick with Rambler. During the industry's 1958 slump, Rambler saved many of them; last year they made a 2.8% profit on their total sales v. .2% for the average...
...oats ripened rapidly. Gary Cooper, a sort of Abe Lincoln in Levi's, and John Wayne, a smoke-wagon Siegfried, represented in different ways a more mature attempt on the part of the western hero to behave like a man. And in such pictures as John Ford's Stagecoach and William Wellman's The Ox-Bow Incident, the mythological struggle between Good and Evil was enacted on the personal plane; while in George Stevens' Shane and in Fred Zinnemann's High Noon, the western hero for the first time in movie history had to face...
...much of the auto industry overtime pay was the rule. Ford's Ford Division was operating six days at five assembly plants. So was the Lincoln-Thunderbird unit, along with Studebaker-Packard and American Motors. George Romney's Ramblers set another production record: 8,550 cars turned out on the way up to a programed rate of 8,850. Still catching up from the effects of a strike-caused glass shortage, Plymouth was on a six-day week at the Detroit, Newark, Del. and Los Angeles assembly plants...
