Dean Talks On Teaching Vocation
No Place For Persons
Unable To Succeed in
Other Fields; Requires
Special Training
"Teaching is definitely not a field for people who cannot succeed in any other position," stated Dean R. A. Schwegler, head of the school of Education, in his broadcast over KFKU at 6 c'clock yesterday. He spoke on the subject "Teaching in Secondary Schools and Colleges." This was the fifth of the "Choose Your Vocation" speeches.
"Secondary schools," as defined by Dean Schwegler, "consist of the 7th to the 14th grades. Years ago people thought of a secondary school as preparatory for college work. To know University thinks of a Junior College, school giving specialized training to be continued in a higher school."
"A bachelor degree is almost a necessity," advised the School of Education head, "for a position in the grade schools, while nothing less than a masters will do if one intends to teach in a high school. Only the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is adequate for teaching in a university. Professional training as well as material of some specific study is required. A master's degree is a requirement of knowing and understanding the pupil is desirable. Usually a record of successful and productive service is needed."
There are several main requirements for a teacher, Dean Schwegeler believes, outside of training in a special field of study. A pleasing personality, robust health, no physical handicaps, and clear speech with a mastery of the English language are among the most important.
Along the financial side, revealed Dean Schlegel, the pay for a high school teacher ranges from $1,200 to $3,000 a year. A college instructor receives from $1,000 to $1,500 depending on the location of the school. Assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors are paid from $1,500 to $5,000 a年. If the school is in a rich community the salary is usually higher, but it must be remembered that living expenses will also be on a higher level.
"Teaching definitely implies responsibilities," reminded the Dean, "which every prospective teacher must possess to prepare for this sort of work."

London, Feb. 10.—(UP) - Europe was gripped early today by a flood of rumors which became more sensational by the hour, of a military "revolt" in Germany, the closing of the Reich's frontiers and a breakdown in Fuehrer Adolph Hitler's health.
Stories Tell of Military Revolt, Closing of Reich Frontiers, and Break In Hitler's Health
These reports were answered by a German retort of "pure nonsense." Many of them, particularly those dealing with the closing of the Belgium, Austrian and Luxemburg, frontiers, appeared to be without contact on the basis of inquiries by United Press bureau throughout Europe.
It was announced in Berlin at midnight that they were spun from thin air and that all were without confirmation.
United Press correspondents reported observing normal movements back and forth across the border.
Rumors of an uprising of German troops in Pomerania and East Prussia, most of which appeared to have been suppressed, continued to pile up, however.
The reported closing of the Belgian and Austrian frontiers was officially denied in Vienna and Brussels.
In addition to the official denials, the United Press bureau in Berlin reported that "well informed persons depreciate the rumors of garrison arrests of army officers across the frontiers, and closing of various borders."

Not more desire to indulge in intellectual cryptograms, but a sincere feeling, underlies the best poetry. So believes William Rose Benet, contemporary American poet who lectures in Fraser theater this afternoon at 3.30.
Kansas Debaters Go to Ames Next Week
Mr. Benet has for years been associated with the Saturday Review of Literature, to which he has contributed not only book reviews and essays, but a regular weekly column, dealing to a large extent with contemporary poetry. In the renascence of American poetry, just before the World War, he played a considerable part.
Patriarch Miron Christae, president of the holy syndom of the national orthodox church of Rumania accepted Carol's commission to form a new government, and announced that he had consented to join his government.
Benet Believes Poetry Must Have Sincere Feeling
Bucharest, Feb. 10.—(UP) The government of Premier Octavian Goga, whose 44 days in power spread terror among Rumania's 780,000 Jews tonight collapsed and the patriarch of the Greek orthodox church was empowered by King Carol to form a new cabinet.
The unusual procedure of going to the church hierarchy for a leader to solve a governmental crisis was resorted to by King Carol because of the bitter eunities precipitated by Goga's brief reign.
Bucharest, Feb. 11 (Friday)—(UP)—King Carol Caro indicated today that Rumania's constitution and adjusted to fit new needs.
Cabinet Falls In Roumania
The Summerfield scholars will have their fourth colloquium of the night tonight at the Colonial tea room. Charles Ward, 140, will talk on "The Reasonable Man," while John McDonnell, m'41 and c'38, will give a paper on "The Survival of the Unfittest." Prof. Olin Templein, secretary of the Endowment Association, will preside.
Carol Names Pattiarch
Christea To Form New
Cabinet
Carol accepted Goga's resignation and those of his cabinet late today and the fallen premier announced they would have no role in the government.
A new contest in extemporaneous speaking will be instituted by the department of speech and dramatic arts this spring. Martin Maloney, 37, former winner of the Missouri Valley tournament and many other forensic events, and now assistant instructor of English, is offering a prize of $10 to the best extemporaneous speaker.
A committee will meet him when he arrives on the train at 9 o'clock this morning. Miss Margaret Lynn, professor of English, will entertain him at lunch and introduce him at the lecture in the afternoon. Miss Lynn, who is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, which is sponsoring the lecture, knew Mr. Benet through the Edward McDowell colony in Maine, for creative writers, artists, and musicians.
The late Amy Lowell, Sara Teresa Dale, Vachel Lindsay, and Edwin Wilson were raised as a tutored friend. Loubis Untermeyer, chief anthologist and commentator
He will leave tonight on an 8.15 train for Denver, where he is sched_ uled to speak tomorrow.
The contest will be held Feb. 24 American politics will be the genera subject. Contestants will draw three sub-titles and be given 30 minute to prepare a seven-minute speech on one of the chosen tonics.
Speech Contest Will Be Inaugurated
Summerfields Meet for Colloquium
By Muriel Mykland, c'39
Mr. Benet's second wife, Elinor Wylie, established herself as one of the leading poets in the United States.
A province that William Rose Benet has made peculiarly his own is that of narrative poetry, exemplified by his many adaptations of the ballad, ransacking the history of the world for his material, from that of ancient Egypt and the Italian Renaissance down to fantasies of that early American outlaw, and cowboy of the old West, Jesse James.
upon American poetry—as well as being a fine poet himself—is a friend of long standing.
William Rose Benet is the elder of two brothers, his younger brother, Stephen Vincent Benet, being widely known as the author of that celebrated American epic, "John Brown's Body." Both William Rose Benet and his brother went through college at the University of Georgia graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School and the younger from Yale College.
On his father's side he comes of a family long associated with the American army. In spite of his military and scientific background, he early turned to literature. His opinion that writers tend to accumulate writers in their immediate families, seems well born out in his case, for his brother, sister, and wife are all writers in their own field.
Forum Board Sponsors Russian Film
Cameraman For March Of Time Beings 'Stalin's Russia' to Additorium Sunday Evening
Julien Bryan, March of Time rower camerman in the Far East, will present his new documentary motion picture, "Stalin's Russia," in Hoch auditorium Sunday at 7:30 p.m.
The cameraman, whose appearance is sponsored by the Student Forum board, will describe the picture personally. A version is available with sound effects and a commentator, but because of the lack of theater facilities at the University, Bear may appear in person.
Byran, who recently returned from bish six annual expedition through the Soviet Union, brought him with also the news films "Inside Nazi Germany," which created sensations throughout the country when featured in the February March of Time.
Besides the "inside" photot of Hitler's Black Shirt rule, Bryan has made three feature series for Time: the two albums and one on Japan and Manchukuo.
Shows Recent Changes
"Stalin's Russia." is a film depicting the new developments in the U.S.S.R. since Stalin became its leader. Bryan, in this picture, deals principally with industrial and sociological changes.
Recent progress in Russian industry, with shots of the plants turning out artificial rubber, electrical machinery, cameras, textiles automobiles, and ice cream, are shown. Bryan will tell of the Stakhanov movement and its effect on the workers.
He makes a complete tour in this film of what he calls "Reborn Russia." He takes the audience to the villages in the far north, to Baku with its famous oil fields, and to Batau, where the Soviet Union, ever self sufficient, is now raising that essential of Russian life, tea.
Film Makes Tour of Country
No small space is devoted to Moscow. There are photographs of the official government buildings, of the latest hits at theaters and ballets, new Moscow amusement parks and the recent fashion shows.
Bryan, upon his return from Europe, was invited by President Roosevelt to present his films and lecture at the White House. After hearing and seeing "Stalin's Russia," the President invited the camaman to return the next night to show "New Japan." Bryan returned a third consecutive night to present the picture he made in Poland .
W.S.G.A. Votes Appropriations
A pledge of $35 was made to the Russell Kelly reward fund at the regular meeting of the W.S.G.A. at the Pine room of the Memorial Hospital. This appropriation makes a total of $100 in the reward fund.
A resolution was passed to approve the recommendation of the central committee on the student activity ticket to the effect that the $275 should be received at the university to be held Feb. 25 in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building.
The point-system manager, Jeannette January, c'40, reported that as a result of a recent investigation many junior and senior women were found to have more than the specified number of activity points. The maximum number for a senior is 60; for a junior, 50. Those women having too many activities will be billed and requested to drop the amount by which they exceed the limits set up by the point system. The point system is designed to distribute honors among University women.
It was announced that Red Blackburn's orchestra had been engaged to play for the dance of the W.S.G.A. carnival, to be held Feb. 25.

One Hundredth
Recital Sunday
One hundred vesper organ recitals in ten years.
That is the record that Prof. Laurel E. Anderson, University organist, will complete when he presents an organ recital Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium at 4 o'clock.
The vesper organ recitals were begun by Professor Anderson in January, 1928 directly after the four death of his teacher, Stalley stalled in Hoch auditorium. Professor Anderson was then a new member of the faculty.
Came Here From Paris
At that time he had just returned from three years study in Paris under Vierre and Bonnet, where he was the American Church for two years.
Professor Anderson received his bachelor of music and master's degrees from Oberlin College, and d Bachelor of Arts from Grinnell College for two years.
Each year about ten organ recitals are presented under the direction of Anderson. He was assisted in former years by Prof. Charles Sanford Skilton, now on leave, and G. Criss Simpson, instructor of theory and organ. He has been assisted this year by Frank Cunkle.

The first arrangement of the number is attributed to Thomas and it is the work of the English Mass in the Catholic Church. It pictures the terrors of the day of final judgement.
