Education Experts Are Needed To Test Pupils
The demand for trained teachers for colleges, normals schools, and high schools, teachers able to in turn instruct others who desire to teach, is growing to the extent that the School of Education is now offering for graduate students courses in four different lines of educational work.
First, courses to prepare teachers for educational work, such as The History of Education , Educational Psychology, and Education Administration.
Second, graduate work for school superintendents, and principals in administration of city schools and school hygiene.
Third, work for those wishing to take up technical expert lines in education that deal with educational and mental tests, similar to those given in the army. This is a large field and most of the larger cities now employ such experts in connection with their schools to test the children's general intelligence, and watch their improvements in school work.
Fourth, graduate work for pedagogical training of teachers for the several departments of high school work, taken up in the seminars, for English teachers and other courses and for superintendents and principals wishing to take up administration problems.
Soft Drinks Off List Of Credit Students
"What's the idea?" gasped Johnny, who hadn't the price of a single coke in his jeans.
Mary sucked contentedly on a long straw and stopped only long enough to say, "Read the sign."
There it was, a big hand printed afair warning all students to provide for the future by buying their drinks now.
After May 1, a war tax one or more
cents a drink will be charged and no
credit can be earned.
And that isn't all. According to the cashier whose duty it will become to make an itemized statement at the end of each day for the internal revenue collector, each of Mary's drinks will have to be listed separate and apart from Johnny's.
"It will be a complicated report," said the cashier. "When several hundred different kinds of drinks are sold daily, it's going to mean several hours of a choice to pay for the total cost it set to pay for the war and I suppose it's the only way."
in the future, soda water business will be conducted according to the following.
Johnny Jones, one sizzling seltzer 11c.
Mary Smith, one peach sundae, 17c And so on without end.
The Victory Loan is next.
Home Problems Require College Trained Women For Household Reform
General Knowledge of Ma Branches of Service and Learning Necessary
General Knowledge of Many
A profession is merely a vocation in which a special knowledge of some department of science or learning is used in its practical application to the affairs of others. The word implies professed attainments as distinguished from mere skill.
To lift the work of the American woman from the menial position of household drudge and to give the work of the woman head of the household the status of a profession is one of the chief ideals of home economics. The one great vocation constantly requiring the services of millions of women is the rearing of children and the conduct of the household. Versal and essential of employments, it has remained the most neglected by science.
For the broadest training there must be a general knowledge of many branches of science and learning. To master the problems of heat, water, ventilation and lighting, physics is required. Bacteriological problems constantly confront us. Physiology and the principles of hygiene render extraordinary assistance in the general arrangements of family life. The principles of psychology and economics are widely applied in the business world and unless the housewife has a knowledge of these she may fall a victim to the highly trained agent and his talking points. All of the physical sciences rest upon the fundamental science of chemistry since all of the phenomena with which we deal are largely chemical.
It is in order to supply this special training founded on a definite body of well systematized facts in their application to the problems of the home, that home economics has found a place in the curriculum of institutions offering higher education for women.
In the work of food conservation during the critical periods of the war, home economics workers applied science to the problem in the household and got wonderful results. But they were more than ever impressed with the great need of research in order to supply the answers to the important questions. For generations, bread has been made in the household, but when the making of the world safe for democracy demanded that housekeepers were required to change their materials and use substitutes, it became evident that there was a vast ignorance on the underlying principles of this everyday process. The art of breadmaking had long been practiced, but the science of breadmaking is not yet formulated. And so it is with most of the practices of the household.
Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of the children's bureau, Department of Labor, is a strong believer in the need of original research applied to the life and interests of the family. She says:
"Can women of the higher education do less than undertake to put an end to this neglect, to begin to place investigation directly at the service of the cult of the family and to start forward on paths by which the most important calling in the world shall gradually acquire professional status?
ent status of the education of women demands a new specialization to be signified by the creation of centers of higher study and research in the service of family life. It is for women to make their own great occupation a profession and to see that the highest education trains those who shall contribute toward that profession's success."
"I do not propose a small thing to,
a cheap thing in urging that the press
For graduate work in home economies the student should have completed a major in the special subjects in this line of work with the necessary prerequisites in the various sciences. She should have had in addition enough work in chemistry, physics, bacteriology or other sciences to serve as a basis for research. Such diverse problems are needing solution that diverse interests be satisfied. This is essentially woman's field, sufficiently exacting and offering enough opportunity to satisfy the most ambitious.

Some persons have wondered how they is possible to determine the velocity of wind in miles per hour with the little cup-like instrument on top of Fraser which is called an anemometer. It not so complicated as one might think.
Fraser Anemometer Is Not Mystic Gauge
The little cups have been found to rotate at about three-fourths the rate of the wind owing to friction. The concave cup is carried round and round through space. The staff upon which the cups are fastened revolves at the same rate, of course, as do the cups. Then by means of a worm screw and train of wheels this motion or the distance traveled by the cups is directly transferred to a dial marked in miles with ten mile intervals.
Thus far the number of miles of wind that have passed the cup is recorded. The next step is to get the number of miles an hour the wind travels. A lever from the anemometer is placed in contact with paper, say at 1:30 o'clock. Then at 2:30 o'clock the number of marks recorded during that time are the miles the wind travels per hour. The record has some such appearance as this:
The closer these marks are together the faster the wind is blowing.
