Blanshard Writes Y. W.
Letters on Co-Operation Tell of Student Experience
Paul B. Blanchard during his recent visit here showed marked interest in the attitude of the Y. W. C.A. toward industrial problems and highly recommended the plan of the Student Co-operative Club,
This plan enables the women of the University who are interested in the industrial problems of the larger factories to secure jobs, working this summer among the labors and to know better about the work and life like they women in industry.
Mr. Blanchard while here promised to send letters concerning this kind of work to women students wishing to enter his enterprise. These letters written by Justine Wire, of Barnold College have arrived and can be seized from Marie Rus at Honey House. They contain the experience of five students from Vansor, where he worked and who have worked in factories. They relate their experiences friends acquired and some of the industrial conditions discovered while among the laborers.
If anyone at the University is disresious to undertake this project they are urged by Miss Russ of the Y. W C. A, to put in their application as soon as possible as the group is to be limited.

Survey of Modern Foreign Languages Made by Carnegie
Prof. E. F. Engel of German Department Is Member of Investigating Committee
The nation-wide survey of modern foreign languages under the auspices of the Carnegie Corporation, is now getting well under way. In making their investigation, the country is divided into eight regions. Number 5.
west central states, includes Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas. A committee of seven members led by the investigation in this region.
Government Bureau Co-operates
The investigation includes the following tasks: (1) the collection of information; (2) the foreign language teaching and study, and the testing of these; (3) a survey of the training of the teachers of modern foreign languages; (4) sup- port studies, in part historical in character.
Prof. E. F. Engel, of the department of German, is a member of this committee, and he reports that the survey is beginning to arrive.
In recognition of the value of this study, the United States bureau of education is co-operating with the committee on direction and control which is made up of prominent modern language teachers and scholars.
Class Experiments Conducted
Besides the regular work of the committee, Professor Engel is preparing material to be submitted for consideration by the committee in making up its final report. From 1965 to 1977 Professor Engel gath-
complete data on the teaching of modern foreign languages in Kansas. He hopes to bring this data down to date, and incorporate it in a history of 20 years of modern language teaching in Kansas.
Professor Engel has also been carring on an experiment, for some years in this modern language teaching in his Laboratory. Method in BeeHive was published in 1984 and has been published about this, one in this country and one in Germany.
Another Test Will Be Made
Results obtained from this method will also be submitted to the committee. During the present year Professor Engel has also been conference speaker in the beginning German classes with a view of establishing standards of talent and attainment in beginning 'language'. He has selected a standardized vocabulary of 1200 words which he developed in his classes 12 weeks.
It is expected that other tests will be made by other teachers during the program of this investigation, and he will have to compare. It is Professor Engel's opinion that this survey, with the publicity attending it, will stimulate interest in modern foreign language teaching and place in our educational system.

Model Oil Derrick Displayed
Students who have been in the basement of Haworth hall this year probably have noticed near the mosaicograph, or earthquake detector, a complete model of an oil derrick. This model was constructed last year by students in the department of mining engineering. It is built in every detail and is coming up in every detail. All wheels and gear are in position and the model is in perfect working order. It is built to represent the rigs used for drilling deep holes for oil and gas in the mid-continent region.
