HECOHDS AND TRAIVSCRIPTIDNS (continued from preceding pack) encompasses the entire world. Amer- ican Education Week has apjiropri- ately taken for its theme, "Education for the Atomic Age." It is most appropriate to call the attention of teachers to many existing records and transcriptions which carry in- formation that can be useful in help- ing schools to carry through this theme. These materials, if propcrh used, help students and adults to understand the interrelationships of our interdependent society and to appreciate the new patterns of life which are rooted in the latest scien- tific discoveries and technological developments. Teachers and adult groups must help young learners build those attitudes of cooperation so essential to world peace and se- curity.
