“An education is never acquired
by anyone, for we are always to
the process of becoming educated."
Dr. Edwin Mims, director of the
English faculty at Vanderbilt Uni-
versity. Nashville, Tenn., said this
morning to his talk on “Real Pun-
damentais to Education" before the
first session of the fifth annual
Teacher-Training Conference being
held today and tomorrow at Teach-
ers College
Around 2,000 students, teachers
and visiting educators attended the
opening session. Other out-of-town
people are expected to arrive this
afternoon and tomorrow, officials
at the college said. The theme of
the conference is "The Teachers
College and the Program of Our-
riculum Revision in Texas." Mims
was introduced by Dr. W. J Mc-
Connell, president of Teachers Col-
lege
Mims said that the greatest dif-
ficulty people have in becomang
educated is remembering things
they learn from reading and frpm
experience He spoke st length on
the value of having an open mind,
saying that too many opinions are
due to prejudice which tends to
cause narrowness He said that it
is necessary to have facts before
trying to think, and that one of
the greatest vices of humanity is
making quick generalizations. "The
average person Jumps at conclu-
slons before he even attempts to

Rumsel Comsoromise
The magnet that drew them was
an administration compromise put
forward yesterday by Senator Rich-
ard B Russell Jr former governor
of Georgia. It lays down the man-
date that wages prevailing to pri-
vate industry must be paid on
permanent Federal buudinga On all
other work (which comprises the
huge bulk of the giant program as
now outlined) the president may
pay his "security wages" estimated
at *50 a month if they do not tear
down the rates to private indus-
try."
President William Green of the
A. F. of L. was adamant to the last
in his stand for the McCarran man-
date for prevailing wages on all
projects. "No compromise on the
McCarran amendment or upon the
very vital principle embodied there-
to has been accepted or will be ac-
cepted” by the labor representatives,
he said.
This wag the way the leaders
planned to administer the coup de
grace to the drive that has given
them trouble aplenty: first the Mc-
Carran amendment was to be called
for a vote. With that beaten, the
Russell amendment, was to be bal-
loted upon. Since debate was being
strictly limited, the leaders thought
both moves would certainly be sc-
complished today
