GUMMIDGE: You seek a more favorable pupil-teacher ratio, plus a decentralized learning center in the multiversity...
Prokofiev complained that students spend from 24 to 30 hours a week taking lecture notes, which allows them "far too little time to develop their own initiative, to stimulate creative work." The Soviet Union apparently faces a serious shortage of teachers, especially in physics, mathematics and technical drawing - and the quality is slipping as well. Despite a lowering of admission standards at the teacher-training academies, Prokofiev admitted that more than half of the 116,000 students who entered them last fall "barely passed the entrance examinations." Such teachers cannot and do not keep pace with technological advances. In physics...
...thus somewhat of a surprise when Moyers announced last week that he will leave the White House, after 17 grueling months as the President's public voice and private confidant, to become publisher of Long Island's prosperous newspaper Newsday (circ. 415,000).

...will be clear that this is an expensive proposal. The current pupil-teacher ratio in public schools is 24.6, the current expenditure per pupil in average daily attendance is $532. To reduce the ratio to 15 to 1, in rough but representative terms, would require another $300 per pupil. This would represent an increase in expenditure of $1020 per year for a family with three children, or, as an example, 28.3 per cent of the median income of nonwhite families in the nation...
