Radio Talk on
Morrill Hall
"Morrill hall is rapidly proving its
usefulness and convenience to state
organizations," pointed out F. G.
Collins, assistant curator of the mu
seum in a radio talk from the univer
g i t y station recently morning.
"Whereas a great number of the
sport events of the year now take
place in the magnificent field house
just to the north of the museum, so
Morrill hall itself is able to welcome
gatherings of a scientific nature."
A month ago Sigma Gamma Epsi

tertained by the local chapter with
headquarters of the convention at
the museum. On Friday of last week

Bird lovers from all over Nebraska
met in the bird gallery last week and
made a critical survey of the bird
collection., After observing the in
troductory case in which are dis
played various kinds of feet, wings,
bills, and tails of birds, collected for
the benefit of betrinners in bird
study, the visitors listened to papers
prepared by various members of the
union.
The resident's table was eraced
with Professor Bruner's great gray
owl which is the only mounted one in
the state. This owl, sometimes call
ed the spectral owl. is one of the
largest of owls and lives in the Arc
tic regions north of Canada, making
its appearance in the United States
rarely.
Sparrow It World-Wide
Mrs. II. D. Johnson, of Superior,
who recently returned from a trip
around the world, stated that in
every country which she visited she
found the English sparrow well es
tablished. At every meeting of bird
folk the question of this bird arises,
according to Mr. Collins.
"But has it ever occurred to you
that the English sparrow did not ask
to come here, that it did not come to
America of its own accord?" asked
Mr. Collins. "From earliest times
the English sparrow has been a nuis
ance on the other side of the world.
When writing was first invented and
before letters were used, people used
a picture of the sparrow to designate
'the word "enemy".
It was as long ago as 1850 that
the sparrow was first introduced
here. A large cage was built for the
first eieht pairs of sparrows brought
to this country and the birds were
cared for during ths winter months
at the Brooklyn institute. These
birds did not thrive and in 1852 two
hundred dollars were subscribed to
defray the expenses of another ship
ment of birds. '
"Our forefathers did the introduc
tion of the sparrow so thoroughly as
to call forth our cusses today," con
tinued the speaker. More were
brought over in 1854, 1858, and in
isfifl twelve sparrows were turned
lloose in Madison Square, New York
City. About the same time they
wm-a introduced into Canada. Every
year or so more sparrows would be
set free, so Mr. Collins pointed out,
wa have no one to thank but our-
' selves for the presence of this trou
blesome bird.

OKLAHOMA SECURES
NOTED EDUCATORS
Two Groups of Special Instructors
Will Be Added to Faculty
For Summer Term
Students who attend summer
school at the University of Oklahoma
this year will have an opportunity to
work under two groups of special in
structors, m addition to the regular
faculty of the school, it was an
nounced recently by Dr. Ellsworth
Collings, dean of the school of edu
cation and director of the summer
session.
These special groups include indi
viduals within the state who have
made outstanding records in their
profession, and specialists from other
schools in the United States who are
recognized as authorities in their
chosen lines of work.
Many Teach Education
Since the summer session enroll
ment will be made up largely of high
school, grade school and college
teachers who are working toward
bachelor's or master's degrees, the
maioritv of these special instructors
will teach in the school of education.
In this school alone, thirteen special
instructors will be employed, Doctor
Collings said.
In the first group made up of
teachers who are now conducting
some constructive oroiect of school
work, are six from Oklahoma scho Js
and one from Texas. The group of
specialists includes five outstanding
Oklahoma educators and one from
Tennessee.
Will Meet Specialists
T.ic objects in bringing these
groups of specialists here, Doctor
Colling said, "are, first, la give
summer school students the contact
with individuals who are successfully
carrying on projects that are contri
butions to the profession, and, sec
ond, to bring students in touch with
educatois who are experts in the va
rious fields.
In the first group Miss Kate Bil
ycu, primary instructor in tin Tulsa
city schools, is doing a constructive
piece of work in primary edjeation
in the Tulsa system. Charles L.
Caldwell, instructor in the training
p'.hocl of the College of Industrial
Arts .t Denton, Tex., is noted for the
outstandii g work he is doing there.
Charles O. Haskell, superintendent
of the city schools at BartlesvKle, has
gained prominence through the work
he is domg in reorganizing the ad
ministrs.tive policies of city school
systems.
Price Is Leader
Edwaid D. Price, superintend n
of city trhools in Enid, is doing ron
structive work in grouping students
on the basis of their ability to learn,
and is one of the nation's foremost
advocates of the intelligence test as
a basis of a student s advancement.

Collins Writes on Birds
An article by F. G. Collins, assist
ant curator of the university muse
um, on the displays of Nebraska birds
that are now located in the museum,
contains information on birds not
usually thought of by the average
observer. Mr. Collins tells of the
different kinds of birds, how they
are classified, and how differences in
species are detected.
A picture of the Archaeoptery,
found some sixty years ago in Eur
ope and believed to be one of the
oldest birds, is reproduced with the
article. A cast of the fossil is in
cluded in the Nebraska collection.
Chancellor E. A. Burnett, in an ar
tide entitled "A Chat with Younger
Faculty Members," surveys the field
open to the ybung instructor. He
writes, "As I look over the possibil
ities open to our young instructors,
I wonder at their very wealth."
Many opportunities arc available,
he continues, including graduate
study, writing for publication, and
other things that will contribute to
the University and the state. The
shancellor urges that instructors do
not lose their contact with the world
through their teaching, because new
methods aro continually being dis
covered that may change the nature
of whole courses of instruction.
An article and illustrations of ths
wcik of Dr. Harry E. Stauss of the
physics department in examining the
X-ray is included in the issue. Dr.
Stauss' method of splitting the X-ray
beams for study is explained, with
