b DEVELOPING BRAINS AFTER DAY'S WORK Many Thousands Improve Minds by Correspondence Courses New York, Dec. 20.—In an effort to disclose the present status of in- dustrial education in this country, and to link the school with the workshop in a nation-wide plan to provide in- struction for millions of workers, ex- perts have submitted reports to the annual meeting of the American So- clety of Mechanical Engineers em- bodying the results of their surveys. Made under the auspices of the so- clety's committee on education and training, the investigations were con- ducted by James A. Moyer, of Bos- ton, director of university extension, Massachusetts department of educa- tion, and secretary of the National University Extension Assoclation; Robert 1. Sackett, dean of engineer- ing in Pennsylvania Etate college and Charles R. Richards, director of Cooper Union, New York. “Industrial education has advanced in a truly remarkable way and prom- §ses much for the future,” said a statement summarizing the reports {ssued by the society’s committee. More than 100,000 persons are study- ing in trade extension courses in New York alone, and 325,000 are studying in federally aided vocational schools supported by appropriations of over $18,000,000, according to the committee, which found that more than 4,000,000 students in the United States have completed correspondence courses. The committee suggests that each industry co-operate with the univer- sity-extension agency in its state and secure for its employes the additional personal instruction furnished when correspondence instruction is applied for by groups, and the consequent formation of what are called exten- sion classes. The committee states its purpose to be “a co-ordination and simplification which may be sugges- tive of a standard code of procedure in vocational training." President Ira N. Hollis, of the ‘Worcester, Mass., Polytechnic Institu- tion, speaking of the extension and correspondence schools, said that the way to an education is being opened up by these schools to thousands of men and women who have no money to go to college. “Correspondence instruction lacks the contact among students that pro- motes discussion and supplies stimu- 1us for study, but it makes up for that in the serious purpose of every stu- dent, and in what must be confessed 1s superior instruction,” said Dr. Hol- lis. “A correspondence school can afford to employ the very dest talent in the country for preparing text- books, and it can lend to the work a degree of technical skill that one cannot find in the average college. The extension schools are usually connected with universities.” What Developments Show. Developments during the last year, according to Dean Sackett, show that there is a growing national apprecia- tion of the need for apprentice train- ing. Schools for bricklayers, steam- fitters, carpenters, electricians and others have, he said, succeeded nota- bly in San Francisco. The Industrial Association of that city now believes, he repofted, that it can train men to be master craftsmen in 12 to 18 months. In the past three to four years have been demanded. Both employers and unions are de- veloping industrial training in New York. A joint plan applied to wood- working apprentices is in operation, -and plans are being made for the or- ganization of training for plasterers, bricklayers and other trades as soon as practicable. “This movement by the New York building congress has the support of financiers, contractors, and union labor and it has aroused wide-spread interest in the problem: of supplying an adequate number of »skilled me- chanies and artisans,” saild Dean Sackett. PRAISES AMERICAN WOMAN Miss Cecil Leitch Former British Golf Champ, Calls Miss Alex Stirling Finest Shot Maker in U. S. 29. — Miss © Cecll Leitch, the former British woman golf champion, is at present in the hands of a specialist for treatment of her arm, and she has said recently that she could not define her pros- pects in the matter of playing in the next ladies’ championship games. Regarding her tour last summer in Canada and the United States, Miss Leitch declared it was purely of a private nature. She was particularly impressed with wonien's golf in the Dominion. Of the outstanding play- ers in Canada, Miss Ada Mackenzie and Miss Popler were probably the greatest. Miss Alex Stirling was undoubtedly the greatest exponent of women's golf in the United States, in spite of the fact that she curtailed her play dur- ing 1922. She was the finest ‘“shot maker" over there. She had more shots almost than any other player. Miss Leitch considers that the ma- jority of women's golf courses in the United States and Canada are easier than those in England. There is no undulation there as in England, and virtually no wind., The courses, how- ever, are very much better kept than in this country.

Prague, Czechoslocakia, Dec. 29.— The year 1922 has been notable in the development of banking in Czechoslovakia. Efforts have been made, and successfully, to consoli- date the banks under a system of joint control by which it will be pos- sible, by mutual agreement, to limit the fleld of activitics, thus cutting ers from the hospital, given the corpses could be found. . here is the first picture in this country of the recent execu- tions of Greek ex-ministers by the present military government.

She was elected and at present is president of the Huron College Alumni association, At the republican proposal meetings held previous to the primary election, Miss Pyle was not endorsed by the re- publicans, being one of four candi- dates who recelved a majority for the endorsement, but being also the can- didate with the least number of votes. At the primary election she was de- feated by the opposing independent candidate, E. L. Gordon, by a small majority. She contested Gordon's election and was nominated by more than 60 votes. At the state election Miss Pyle was elected by a plurality of 2,156 votes. She led the legislative ticket by 250 votes. For four years after her graduation from Huron college Miss Pyle taught in the Huron High school, instructing {in Latin, civics, history and govern- ment. Two years after her Huron High school teaching career, she was principal of the Wessington public schools. During the last three years Miss Pyle has been actively engaged in citizenship work. She was con- nected directly with the National in Indiana, lowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Ohio and South Dakota, addressing gatherings of women. Miss Pyle is a member of the P.
