EDUCATION\n\nIn its extensive program for strengthening education inthe public schools,the largest single grant of the Fundfor the Advancement of Education this year is that of$400,000 to the National Citizens Council for BetterSchools.This contribution,with the additional supportbeing received from the Carnegie Corporation and othersources,is expected to finance the Council through 1959.  \nA coordinated nation-wide effort to persuade more ofthe ablest college students to choose college teachingover other careers,and to prepare them adequately forsuch work,has been launched by the Ford Foundationwith a major appropriation of $25 million.  \nRecruitment  \nThrough a large-scale extension and development of theNational Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Program-whichwill be reconstituted as a non-profit corporation with anindependent governing board of distinguished laymenand educators-two measures will be undertaken:anunprecedented nation-wide recruiting program costingabout $2.8 million;and the provision of graduate fellow-ships to potential college teachers at the rate of 1,000a year for the next five years.  \nTraining of Teachers  \nFour recent grants of the Fund,totalling $859,000 inaddition to that of $500,000 to Yeshiva University(AFN V,p.76),are designed to make possible a fifthyear of training for graduates of liberal arts collegeswho wish to teach in the public schools.  \nBrown University has received $275,000 for three yearsfor a cooperative project in which a number of schooldistricts in Rhode Island will employ inexperienced lib-eral arts graduates who will simultaneously be enrolledat the University for graduate work.The University ofChicago has worked out a cooperative project involvinga group of school systems in Illinois and Indiana forwhich the Fund gave $300,000 to be used over twoyears.Harvard University,which had previously receivedfunds for a similar purpose,has been given $200,000in support of a new project,to be used over the nexteighteen months.The Texas Education Agency has beengranted $84,000 for a one-year continuation of its fifth-year training for liberal arts graduates to equip them toteach in public schools.  \nThe recruitment undertaking will be conducted largelythrough a corps of 100 or more faculty members whowill give approximately one-third of their time to stimu-lating faculty cooperation on approximately 1,000 col-lege campuses.And to assist in developing and coordi-nating this program,four or five full-time regional fielddirectors will be appointed.  \nFellowships  \nThe other phase of this new effort will comprise threesteps in the field of fellowships:  \nFirst,to provide for 300 rather than 200 Woodrow  \n(Continued on page 103)  \n(Continued on page 102)  \n\n| AMERICAN FOUNDATIONS NEWS
