Experiment Success
Is Basis of German
Professor's Article
Corbin's Story for Language
Journal Gives System Used in K. U.
An experiment which has proved successful in the University of Kansas for the past several years is the basis of an article, written by Alberta Linton Corbin, professor of German, entitled "Special Promotion for St. Louis Students" applied in the November issue of The Modern Language Journal.
In the German department several years ago it was suggested that for superiors student in elementary classes special promotion opportunities might be offered. The experience, however, did not succeed that after an experience of several semesters, it became a fixed policy of the department.
At the beginning of a semester, the entire class is urged to do outside reading. "Simple stories and easy scientific tasks are suggested." For courses in which opportunities for the opportunity, extra work is offered, and the instructor meets with small groups for special work. At the end of the course, those who have shown special premise and aptitude are required department for special promotion.
"No credit" is given for the extra work performed since the makes special promotions simply has the benefit of entering, sooner than he would otherwise, advanced courses in the subject or exhibited. The special promotion plan gives him an opportunity to get on with his job.
Probably one of the most important results of special promotion is the formation of the habit of reading German independently. Most of the special promotion students read some classic in the summer and then they have to learn in some cases such students may have a special promotion in the fall."
The Modern Language Journal is published monthly from October to December. The journal is affiliated with the institution of Modern Language Teachers and is affiliated with associations of modern language teachers.

Dawson Issues Statement
"There comes a time in the life of a university when it is wise to stop and consider the future. Instead educational project is designed to further this so far as it can be done by this method. It is primarily a self study by the students of themselves and for them is the aim of an analysis for an analysis of our aims and successes. Under the direction of Prof. F, P. O'Brien and a corps of willing workers, it has already shown promise in a very much worth while project."
The idea of this project had its birth at a meeting of a small group of students. C. A. and Y, W. C. A. Eaton Park conference ago, some students also met to discuss a meeting and the students from Kangas introduced the idea to this会议.

Reflecting Telescope With 27-Inch Mirror to Be Installed Soon
Astronomy Department Makes Machine With Assistance of William Pitt
The department of astronomy of the University has been working for the past year on a 27-inch reflecting telescope, which is being made the mirror for the telescope. The University bought the rough dish from which the mirror is mounted, and the dredged dollars, Mr. Pitl is exerting his skill and labor as a gift to the University. This is the first very large disk of the sort to be made out of
The disc passed a perfect annealing test last Tuesday. This is done by checking whether any part of it is strained, whether any part of it is strained, There was no sign of strain on the disc.
The design of the telescope was worked out last year by Manley Hood, a student in the department of Astronomy, Prof. George J. Hood, head of the engineering drawing department of the University. The design was made under the direction of Dr. Dumrose of the department of astronomy.
Nearly all of the castings for the telescopes have been made in Fowler buildings, and they are large for the Fowler shops foundry, were made elsewhere. These two castings, whose total cost is about $30 million, and machined in Kansas City and have just been received by the department of astronomy at the University of Kansas, the lecture room of the observatory.
Hood is doing the machine work on almost all of the telescope except those parts, that there is not proper machinery for here, have been made
Mr. Pitt of Kansas City has also promised to make the clock which moves this huge telescope, weighing 10 pounds, move when there were a clock hand, and causes it to follow the motion of the stars almost perfectly. The telescope will be used in research work all night, every clear day, until the year, regardless of temperature.
Although some other large telescopes are being used for the study of these phenomena, their other telescope in the United States which has its study as its principal focus is
The dome for this new telescope will be an addition at the west end of the observatory building. The architec's play of the dome is quite intriguing, and their self are on exhibition in the hall of the observatory building. If all goes well, the telescope will be finished in another meeting made by Dr. Dinanore After.
With this telescope, the observatory of the University will be the fifteenth largest in the United States. That means that astronomers will observe its shells will be observations of asteroids which are little worlds varying from about one mile to 500 miles in diameter. These planets are fragments of the explosion of a larger planet. Such a hypothesis was proposed by Others and has been tested in the first asteroids were discovered.
J. C. McCanles Is Ill
The value of the completed朵会 and telescope will be about $15,000 although on account of Mr. Pitt's gift and the observatory building which is already there, the cost to the Uuill not will be more than one dollar
