Teaching Soon Discourages
Young Pupils, Says
Normal Teacher.
Students in the teachers college
high school who are taking nor
mal training are urged to take
some work In the university be
fore they try to gt positions in
country schools according to Miss
M L. Heuermann. normal train
ing instructor in the bleb school.
Tbe effectiveness of this consul
tation given by the department Is
shown by the far' that only one
of the twelve graduates last year
ia teaching.
The reason, according to Miss
Heuermann. that the high school
studenta are discouraged is that
they are immature mentally and
phvsically and that they run up
against severe difficulties ia teoch-
ing in country dwiwo. -o"
school certificates are only third
grade certificates.
Three In University.
Three of the graduates from the
teachers college high school are
now enrolled for regular work In
the university. Two students re
ceived their certificates after com
pleting additional work last sum
mer, though at the present they
nni tpnehine. Several are
working at home and one girl is
working in a beauty parlor. In
all cases graduates are advised to
nHmi on with university work.
The department of the teachers
college high school has grown
since last year. The junior class
is larger. Last year students came
from out-state as far as Lexing
ton but this year they come from
the vicinity of Lincoln.
The major Interest in the teach
ers college high school at the
present time is a Reviews class in
reading. This review reading Is a
view of reading for the Interests
of coming teachers and to help
them better present the course of
reading when they are teaching.

Discuss Astronomy.
"Where tbe Universe Rotatea
About the Earth." by John M.
Clema, electrical engineering '30,
is an article describing the newest
rr.Pthods of studying astronomy.
Many of the larger cities of tho
United States and Europe have in
stalled planetarlums.
These planetnriums are large
hemispherical dombs In which are
projected all the stars in their re
spective positions where they may
be studied. The axis of the plane
tarium can bc turned so It Is pos
sible to study the stars . on tbe
other side of the earth. It ia pos
sible to 'adjust" Ihe stars as they
would appear at any point on the
earth for any time.
In Arthur E. Caress' article on
"Hydrogen the Successor to Air
Coolinjr Electric Machines" the
characteristics of a good cooling
medium are pointed out. In order
to be a good cooling agent for the
electrical machines a gas must
have a hich thermal conductivity,
a low density, a high specific heat,
and muHt not bc a superior of coro-
bustun. Hydrogen and helium are
vastly superior to all other gases
but hydrogen is mucn cneaper so
It is preferable.
