Mozart's ovfttute is being re
vived this year at the Metropoli
tan Opera House in New York
City after a lapse of many years.
The ballet music comprises only a
portion of Faust's ballot, shortened
especially for program purposes.
Albert has interpolated his Chorale
into the third number but this
change from Bach can be detected
only by the expert, according to
Wishnow, ,
The Dance Macabre was in
spired by Henri Cazalis poem,
Dance of Death. The work is made
up of three parts, Midnight, and
Death tunes his violin; second, the
Dance of Death, and last, Day
lieht comes and the cock crows.
Final number on the program is
the favorite of many music lovers
of the Waltz King. Johann Strauss
and is perhaps his most popular
refrain, according to the conduc

County superintendents of the
state met here Monday to hear
a preliminary report of the sum
mer session workshop on rural

in U hall.after which they dis
cussed and evaluated the report
at the Union.
Enrolled in the workshop class
are 31 students including 26 rural
school teachers and five couiiiy
superintendents. Under the super

Of the teachers college, the proj

the American Council of educa

Hears proand
organized labor affiliation
Affiliation of teachers with or
ganized labor was argued pro and
con at a summer ' session confer
ence last Thursday afternoon, with
Dr. Theodore Brameld of the Uni
versity of Minnesota advocating
membership in the American Fed
eration of Teachers and Dr. O. H.
Werner of teachers college advis
ing against it.
Teachers are not members of a
privileged class but belong' to the
body of workers constituting a
majority in this country, said Dr.
Brameld. Therefore their interests
lie with the workers and the unions
in their efforts to raise the stand,
aid of living and "make our dc
mocracy truly a society in which
the spiritual and physical re
sources of life are available to and
under the control of the majority
of people," he stated.
"To loosen restrictions."

Prof Hudgins . . .
Favors compulsory military
training as means of defense
By Dorothy Jean Bryan
"You can't remodel the world all
at once," exclaimed Professor Bert
Hudgins, Wayne university, De
troit. "You can't lay down arms
while the rest of the world con
tinues in the same old way." This
is the geography professor's an
swer to the pacifist's point of
view.
Compulsory military training
meets the approval of Hudgins.
Not only is it necessary to have
people trained to meet any pos
sible emergency, but Hudgins feels
that T":,'tiry training is reany oi
great .efit to the youth of the
country. He himself was in the
navy in the World war.
U. S. will lend aid.
"The United States will help
with, the peace this time I be
lieve," said Hudgins. The minor
ities which were set up in sep
arate states after the last war
were simply bufler states and in
capable of carir- fir themseives.

Hudgins remarked that it would
probably be better If these minori

of the major powers.
"You would, too."
Hudgins does not condemn the
Germans for looking out for their
own interests because he feels
that any country in Germany's po

He does condemn Germany's
methods, though. He declared that
the type of military training in
the past ten years in Germany
has been criminal. Prestige that
colonies and possessions give a
country is an important thing.
This is the real reason for such a

An individualized educational

To illustrate the dependence of
small community schools upon th
training received by educational
leaders, Dean Henzlik described
preservice and inservice programs
for teacher training. Selective
admission standards, understand"
ing of social and economic prob
lems, placement and follow-up

tunity for advanced graduate
training belong in the preservic
program, according to Henzlik.
Inservice teacher training should

educational aids to schools, edu
cational psychology clinics over
the state, and development of df
vices for judging elementary and
