information suddenly stopped working,
allowing sensations from every nerve
end to flood the conscious mind.
The effect would be chaotic and para-
lyzing The situation in the field of scien-
tific publications is approaching that
state
That is why some day we must begin
to develop a “world brain*’ — a system
to coordinate, screen and contain the
world’s growing knowledge
The idea of a world brain was origi-
nated by H. G. Wells back in 1837 and
was revived recently by Watson Davis,
editor of Science Service, in testimony
before a House subcommittee
Like so many other Wellsian ideas,
the world brain was ahead of its time.
But recent advances in computers, mic-
rofilm techniques and the transmission
of information have made a world brain
entirely feasible
As Davis said, we already have the
knowhow; all we need is the “let’s-do."’

THE SHORTAGE of teachers
at the college and university
level continues. This is true, al-
though the graduate schools of
our great universities are grant-
ing doctoral degrees at a rate
that 10 years ago would have
accusation of being diploma
mills
Actually, there is no evidence
that the long established and
honored graduate schools have
watered down their academic
requirements Some recent grad-
uates have complained that if
anything they are getting tough-
er, particularly in some de-
partments
But there has been a sharp
Increase in the number of uni-
versities that are offering grad-
uate work to the doctoral level.
Some have not been in the busi-
ness very long One state uni-
versity. which we will not name,
was just becoming accredited to
the master’s level only 10 years
ago They are now offering
courses to the doctorate in at
least four major fields
it is such Johnny-come-late-
lies in graduate offerings who
are being accused of ‘watering
down the standards ” On the
other hand a student recently
from such a university com-
plained one of them was being
tougher than the old blue chip
universities because the faculty
believed it necessary to estab-
lish quickly a high reputation
for thorough and exhaustive
scholarship. He admitted he
was exhuasted.
From 1854 to that date the an
nual output was slightly less
than for 1954,
Even so, there should be to-
day about 80-85,000 more men
and women in America’s "schol-
arship pool" than there were in
1953.
Had all these gone into the
laboratories and lecture halls
of our colleges and universi-
ties. which were once the ob-
jectives and destiny of all suc-
cessful graduate students, the
challenge of our growing und-
ergraduate enrollments presum
ably would be met
But all of them are not go-
ing there All large cities and
many school boards of compar-
atively small school systems
are demanding the doctorate of
candidates for the superinten-
dencies, and in some cases the
high school principalships of
their public schools. The sal-
ary is often better there than
it would be on a college facul-
ty
Tn the. Negro’s struggle for a new
place in American life, the massive
. march on Washington may prove a
turning point.
When large militant forces are at
work as they are now. and as was true
in the big labor battles of the mid-1930s,
* discipline and a sense of public respons-
ibility are sometimes lost sight of
These failings certainly have marked
more than a few Negro demonstrations
and other efforts in this turbulent year
1963. But they did not characterize the
march on Washington.
The general adjustment is that this
huge massing of humanity in the nation's
capital was completely peaceful and
orderly, and amazingly well disciplined
and organized. There probably has not
been its like in our history.
Negro leaders obviously were determ-
ined that this demonstration be thus car-
ried out. They had heard many dire
predictions of trouble. They were also
aware that some demonstrations had
got out of hand and were not so much
peaceful protests as disorderly and oc-
casionally violent obstructions to normal
life.
The human brain contains some 10
billion nerve cells or neurons that form
interconnections whose number far sur-
passes all the stars of the universe. This
is the source of the infinite complexity
of individual behavior,
Human civilization is something like
that, being built up out of the complex
interconnections of the increasing mil-
lions of people
But there are no built-in, natural con-
nections between people They have To
communicate by “artificial'’ means
Obviously, no individual can talk per-
sonally with everyone else. By means
of radio and television, however, he can
address an unlimited number et one
time. Records and tapes add a time
dimension to that ability.
But only the printed word allows oth-
ers to absorb a man's thoughts at their
leisure—and only through print can a
man project his thoughts into the fu-
ture, either near or distant, and fasten
upon the minds of others.
Just as the brain receives a constant
flood of information from the environ-
ment, so is human society being flood-
ed with news. ideas, facts, developments
and discoveries in the arts and sciences
and every walk of life.
The result is a worsening log jam in
the channels of information and a seri-
ous time lag before the majority of men
can absorb and understand these
changes.
It is as if that part of an individual's
brain which screens out all but essential

April 6,-1962, Brownwood residents have
been watching a heap of rubble and dirt

concrete and steel Careful buying of

The coliseum is more than a monu-

and for the area s future A timeless
quality will make the coliseum “forever

A heavy slate of activities is design-

be booked after the grand opening These
events will draw literally thousands of

is enough to say here that col-

an who qualifies herself fully
for its duties and responsibili-

competition for personnel, the

the faculties of those not so well

But even before this event occurred,
there were evidences that Negroes them-
selves are beginning to question the con-
tinued usefulness of the street demon-
stration as a strategic device.
Clearly it has produced no tangible
results in some places. Here and there,
authorities have quickly nipped it in the
hud. Ill-managed demonstrations some-
times have stirred white resistance that
previously did not exist.
Negroes who contend that they have
serious grievances against present day
American society surely are not going
to limit themselves to doing things which
do not disturb the white elements of the
national community. But they may now
decide that other approaches may prove
more productive than street demonstra-
tions.
The use of the vote, the personal or
written petitioning of lawmakers and
other public officials, legitimate lobby-
ing—these are among the tactics open to
all in a fully functioning democracy.
The right of peaceful assembly for
protest purposes is not questioned by
the courts. But this strategy carries
with it more danger of excess than do
the alternatives. And. as noted, the
tangible gains may often be limited or
nonexistent.
What, if any. specific legislative or
other results may flow from the march
on Washington cannot be foretold.
