MATHER TO DEBATE ON EDUCATION OF ADULTS

Continued Education After College Is Advocated as Method of Keeping Up With Changing World

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"Can adult education help save America," will be the subject of an experimental debate in the form of a "dialogue discussion" to be engaged in by Kirtley F. Mather, professor of Geology, and Harry A. Overstreet, professor of philosophy at the College of the City of New York.

This "dialogue discussion" will be held at the Twentieth Century Adult Education Centre tomorrow evening, at 8 o'clock.

One of the aims of the Adult Education Council is to stress the fallacy of considering an education completed with graduation from a University. They point out that the adults of this generation underwent a preparation for their tasks almost identical to the one now provided for their children.

"From only a momentary look at the present stage of society," the council advocates, "we have not much right to expect that our children will be able to do much better than we have done" on a problem that is vastly more complicated.
