 \n# U.S.News\n\nU.S.To BoostDefense Spending  \nPage1  \n# CONCEPTS IN THE NEWS\n\nTechnology is the application ofscientific principles to meet humanneeds.Much of the additional moneythe Reagan Administration wants forthe defense budget will go towardimproving the military technology ofU.S.forces.  \nValues are principles,standards,and preferences that determine be-havior.The U.S.,like all other na-tions,values military power as away of protecting its world position,defending itself,and intimidating po-tential enemies.  \nCompetition is a contest betweentwo or more bodies to obtain an ad-vantage or goal.Today the U.S.andthe Soviet Union are in competition。to obtain a military advantage.  \n# TEACHING STRATEGY\n\nWhile the President's request forincreased defense spending is expect-ed to be passed easily by Congress,not everyone in the U.S.believes thata further arms buildup is the bestthing for the U.S.or for the world.Some people and groups believe thatthe arms race between the U.S.andthe Soviet Union is pure madness andmust inevitably lead to a nuclear war,destroying the planet.Some of thesepeople and groups have called for uni-lateral disarmament by the UnitedStates—having the U.S.disarm it-self without any prior agreement onthe part of other nations to disarm.Critics have called this proposal“ridiculous.”But supporters of uni-lateraldisarmament say anything lessis \"insane.\"You might want to havestudents debate both sides of thisquestion after the class reads the arti-cle.  \nTEA CH IN G IS SU E 21  \n# Teacher\n\nFurtherInformation  \nUpdate

8,·1980,p.B-2.  \nAccording to a recent article inTime magazine(March 9),Fitler Ele-mentary,an inner-city school in Phil-adelphia,has found a way—not bytrying something new,but by revert-ing to old-fashioned discipline.Fit-ler's principal,William R.Crumley,has the support of teachers,parents,and students,in his effort“to turnback the clock.\"Crumley enforcesstrict dress codes,tough grading,andplenty of attention to individual stu-dents.  \nWorld War II  \nRexford G.Tugwell.FDR:Architect of an Era.New York:TheMacmillan Company,1967.  \n# Answers\n\nStudent Edition:CE

minutes a day working onhis or her penmanship.Students arenot promoted unless they receive atleast a Cin math and reading.Parentsmust come in person to pick upreportcards.  \nTest scores seem to prove that Fit-ler's approach works.While less than50 percent of Philadelphia's pupilsreach or surpass the national medianon standard tests of reading,math,and language skills,at Fitler 81 per-cent of the students do so.  \nIn the four years that Crumley hasrun Fitler,the school's reputation hasgrown.The school now has a waitinglist of 2,000 parents from all overPhiladelphia who want to send theirchildren there.  \nOne Philadelphia parent summedup his support of Fitler by saying,\"What we wanted was to have ateacher in control of a class and aprincipal in control of the school.”  \nWorld
