About 300 university students of the regular year filled out summer school registrations during the week of May 2 to 7.

"School boards are looking for men with their master's degree This was shown clearly in the uni versity bureau of educational ser vice this spring." Mr. Moritz went on to point out that superintendents, in selecting teachers for the larger high schools, are looking to candidates with qualifications beyond those represented in a bachelor's degree. "In anticipation of future raised standards of teacher selection, teachers are studying more than ever before," he said. "When normalcy returns those who are best prepared and best qualified will get the positions. Commenting upon the possible registration figures, Mr. Johns pointed out that if the number of inquiries received concerning courses this summer is any indi cation the registration should be at least normal.

SCHEDULE VARIES FROM LAST YEAR Noon Classes Abandoned; Fewer 7 0"Clock Periods. Several variations in this year's summer school schedule are no ticeable by a comparison with last year's arrangement of classes, ac cording to Walter B. Johns, super visor of mathematics in Teachers college high school. This year there are only twenty three 7 o'clock classes as com pared with about thirty last year, Most of the classes are held at 8 o'clock, the most popular hour of the day, Mr. Johns said. Altho last year the experiment was tried of holding classes during the noon hour the plan has been abandoned this year. "On the whole they worked fine," Mr. Johns explained, "but there were too many occasions when group luncheons or other events occurring between 12 and 1 o'clock caused conflicts." Last summer there was some agitation for the elimination of all afternoon classes when the next schedule was made up. This could not possibly be done, Mr. Johns pointed out, because no way could be found to place all laboratories and classes in the morning without conflicts. DR.
