President Conant's new book, an enunciation of his belief in comprehensive secondary school sand junior colleges as the key to better education, will reach the retailers February 9, according t its publishers the Harvard University Press.

Entitled "Education and Liberty, The Role of the Schools in a Modern Democracy," the book forwards a ten-point program by which a democracy can provide full cultural background for its citizens.
