A., | Widely Known Author, Hon- ! ored by Native Land. i | A graduate Spanish department has been opened for the first time this |year at the Catholic University, and graduate work now is being offered to ia number of research students in Epanish _lore and literature. | In the academic life of the National | Capital this is a pioneer work on the | part of the university. Through the |addition of a distinguished Spanish scholar to the professorial staff and | through the generosity of the late Dr. Manoel de Oliveira Lima, who gave |to the university a 60,000-volume li- | brary of Ibero-Americana, the univer- sity has been eminently fitted to carry on_this new enterprise. Rev. Dr. David Rubio, O. 8. A., head of the department, under whose di- rection the research is being carried on, came_ to the university this Fall from the University of Pennsylvania. He is well known throughout the literary world as the author of a number of publications on Spanish literature. Native of Spain. He was born in Spain and received his early education at the Augustinian College at Valladolid, Spain. After his ordination to the priesthood, Dr. Rubio | was sent to Peru where he took up advanced studies at the University of Lima, the oldest university in the New World. After his graduation from the Peruvian university, he taught in that institution, and later at Santiago, Chile, and at Havana, Cuba. He then came to the United States where, before com- ing to Washington, he taught at Swarthmore College, Villanova College and the University of Pennsylvania. In 1927 Dr. Rubio was signally hon- ored by election to membership in the Royal Spanish Academy, and is, at the present_time, the only Spaniard living m the United States who has received that honor. The Royal Academy has entrusted to Dr. Rubio the task of pre- paring all new material concerning old Castile and Leon for the “Dictionary of the Spanish Language” which is now being compiled by the academy. A vol- uminous writer, Dr. Rubio has produced many noteworthy books. Romance Languages Head. At the present time Dr. Rubio is acting head of the department of: ro- mance languages. Students working under him for advanced degrees are doing special work in the fields of the rogue novel, Spanish mysticism and the Spanish drama. Chau Chu Wu, Minister of China, will lecture in the auditorium of Mc- Mahon Hall on “World Peace: Its Con- dition Precedent,” at 8:15 o'clock to- morrow night. This will be the third in a series of eight public lectures to be delivered during the first half of the academic year. Willlam F. Schilling, member of the Federal Farm Board, lectured to & large audience last Mon- day evening on ‘“The Federal Farm Board and Co-operative Marketing.

The annual Christmas recital of the Glee Club will be held next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the auditorium 4f McMahon Hall. The public is in- wited to this recital, ARMSTRONG OPENS PLACEMENT SERVICE Questionnaire Sent to Manufactur- ers in Behalf of High School Graduates. Armstrong High School has instituted a placement service which is the out- growth of last year's vocational guid- ance work. Under direction of George H. Murray, a questionnaire has been sent to manufacturing and business organizations concerning available open- ings for the school's outgoing students, and for those who wish part-time em- ployment after school. This bureau will follow up students after they have been placed, and it is hoped that through this service many boys and girls will be prevented from entering so-called “blind alley” jobs, which offer no chance for advancement. Through the counseling committee, directed by Harold A. Haynes, Arm- sfrong students are receiving this year further advice in the choice of their vo- cations. This work is being done now chiefly through intensive home-room study and survey of the ocCupational fields. A girls’ assembly was held on Wednes- day morning as the beginning feature of this year's plans for the Girls’ Social Hygiene Club, sponsored by Mrs. Irene T. Perkins, Franklin O. Nichols of New York, associate director of the American Social Hyglene Association, was the er.

The mechanical department of & newspaper and its task of meeting the practical problems connected with news distribution and advertising were de- scribed to the class in journalism of George Washington University Wednes- day by Robert A. Wilson, assistant fore- man of the composing room of the ‘Washington Times. Mr. Wilson gave clear explanations of the various kinds of typesetting ma- chines and tereotyping devices, and paid a tribute to the qualities of the typical make-up man of the editorial depart- ment, whose duty it is to direct many of the mechanical activities. Speed problems in connection with circulation were shown to be important. The need of co-ordinating departments in order to prevent congestion at press time was emphasized. Attention was directed to the millions of pieces of type that go into the mak- ing of a newspaper, and the remarkable freedom from errors under pressure was pointed out by the speaker. ey COAL GAS KILLS MAN, OVERCOMES HIS WIFE Clearspring Farmer Succumbs From Coal Fumes Escaping When Draught on Stove Is Closed.
