Teachers Need More Hours
The Kansas Board of Education has increased the college education requirements for new elementary teachers. Elementary instructors who will begin teaching in the fall of 1951 must have a total of 45 hours of college training. This does not affect persons now teaching in Kansas schools.
--free spring afternoons have been unavoidably passed by.
Through a previous action, the Board had set 20 semester hours as a minimum for beginning teachers next September. New teachers in the present year were required to have at least 24 hours.
"The shortage of teachers in elementary schools brought into the teaching profession many excellent though inadequately trained 'emergency' teachers. It is now imperative to raise the training level for those with little or no college background," Dean Smith said.
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, said those in the University teacher training program are in complete agreement with the policy of the Kansas State Board of Education.
"The gradually increased training requirements set by the board have been an excellent attempt to increase the efficiency of teachers now on the job and of beginning teachers.
Violinist Gives Senior Recital
Mrs. Charlotte Braly, violinist,
presented her senior recital Tuesday
before 60 persons in Strong theater.
One of her best numbers was the difficult "Concerto B Minor, No. 3 (Saint-Saens). Her handling of the second movement conveyed a gentle lyrical quality. Mrs. Braly played with warmness the sweet, muted number, "Beau Soir," (Debussy-Heifetz). She also played a catchy folk song, "Danse de Colinette" (Gretry-Franko) and "Malaguena" (Sarasate), as well as the "Sonatina for Violin and Piano, Opus 100" (Dvork.)
The violin is one of the most difficult instruments to play and Mrs. Braly lacked exceptional technical ability. Her program offered little variety for there was not a wide enough contrast between the slow and fast movements.
This Year We Get 'Summer Sickness'
You asked for it, and now you've got it—yes, that inevitable summer weather you prayed for is here in all its glory. Of course it won't promise to stay, but it came in answer to our pleading prayers.
Along with this unusual weather came the wind, a wind which produces many changes on the campus. The scenic valleys of our continuously well-planted campus are hidden by clouds of good old Kansas soil blowing into Missouri.
This year the students of the University of Kansas feel that all is not fair. They have been denied their usual pleasant symptoms of "spring fever." The campus has been plunged from cold, damp weather into a hot, humid, stiffling atmosphere. Those pleasant carefree spring afternoons have been unavoidably passed by.
"Summer sickness," instead of "Spring fever," will now become an epidemic throughout the campus. Dull eyes, perspiring brows, and swollen feet are the symptoms that all students will contract eventually.
When flys buzz around your head and you stick to your seat in the lecture room, remember that you are the one responsible. You prayed for summer weather.
Sleep Doctor Bans Reading In Bed
Chicago—(U.P.)—Dr. Paul H. Fluck has given 10 commandments for getting a good night's sleep, and has banned reading in bed. Doctor Fluck, of Lambertville, N.J., said most insomnia is caused by bad sleeping habits or lack of regular routine.
Writing in the American Medical association's magazine, Health, he listed these "10 commandments" for good sleeping:
1. Go to bed at the same hour every night.
2. Try to get at least one hour of sleep before midnight.
New Cancer Test To Be Given Trial
Dr. Penn, in explaining the test at the recent meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Atlantic City, said an extract of antigen derived from human cancerous liver tissue is added to a blood serum taken from the person being tested.
New York—(U)R) The newly-developed Penn blood test for cancer, said to be 98.6 per cent perfect, is going to be given a challenging trial.
The test, reported by Dr. H. S. Penn of the University of California at Los Angeles, is to be given the independent tryout in Seattle, Wash. If the investigators there obtain the same results as were obtained by Dr. Penn and his associates, then the test might well be accepted generally.
The serum, he said, shows particles in suspension if the person has cancer.
