One of the boys, Mike Basarab,
aged 17, in the State Sanitorium at
Cresson, won a prize of twenty dol-
lars offered by a Pennsylvania news-
paper for the best letter, setting
forth the outstanding issues in the
approaching presidential campaign.
Mike attended the sessions of the
.Sanitorium grammar school, gradu-
ating June 1931, Deciding to further
improve himself he is now taking a
course in shorthand and typewriting.
He read the offer in the newspaper
and decided to set forth his own
ideas of the issues before the Amer-
ican people at the present time. The
information from which he gained
his facts and opinions came to him
entirely through his daily reading.
Now that a satisfactory definition
has been approved by the Secretary
of Health for pasteurized A milk,
the Bureau of Milk Control has turn-
ed its attention to the establishment
of a like definition for “Grade A
Raw Milk.” A committee has been |
appointed to go into the matter very
thoroughly and assembled in Harris-
burg on June 14. It is expected
to prepare a definition that will be
established as a State standard for
“Grade A Raw Milk.” of the future.

Rule, State Superintendent of Pub-
lic Instruction, The date for the
new standards to become effective
has been moved up from September |
to June 1, 1932. |
Four general standards have been |
set up for admission to the teachers
colleges; general scholarship, char-
acter and personality, health and |
and a personal in-
terview with faculty members at the |
colleges or places designated by the!
presidents of the respective colleges. |
Dr. Rue says the new admission |
requirements will create a selective |
process by which it is hoped enroll- |
ments in the colleges will not only |
be limited, but that “they will bring
to the teaching service those young
men and women in the high schools |
vest qualified to prepare themselves
for teaching.”
Applicants whe rank in the upper:
half of their graduating class in high
school will be admitted on certificate |
without further evidence of general
scholarship. Those who do not rank
in the upper half may be admitted
on probation, provided they are rec-
ommended by their high school prin-
cipal as being able to do creditable
| college work; appraisal of the de-
tailed high school record must in-
dicate to admission authorities of |
the colleges that the candidate can
do satisfactory college work; also
a rating satisfactory to the institu-
tion is to be made on a scholastic
aptitude test administered at the!
college. Students who qualify under
| these regulations will be admitted’
At
the end of this time they must with-
draw from the college unless they
meet the required standard of
scholarship in at least nine semester
hours of work. |

required to present a certificate of |

an additional medical examination
by the examining physician at the
college. Students with remedial de-
fects may be accepted on condition
that immediate treatment be under-
taken for the removal of these de-
ects.
The fourth of the series of new
entrance requirements calls for a
personal interview with an examin-

“particular attention to personality,

promise of becoming desirable teach- |
ers, and to take an inventory of the
personal characteristics of the appli-

inventory available to instructors
and officers concerned with personal |
work in the college. The blank forms
to be used in determining qualifica-
tions are to be uniform for all the
fourteen State Teachers Colleges.

The revelation recently made, that
5 per cent of all the high school
students tested at a prominent
P vania High School, were
actively tubercular, and that 37 per
cent responded positively to a tu-
berculin test, is food for thought for
all health workers, school executives
and parents in the Commonwealth,
Dovetailing this discovery into the |
recent announcement made by Dr.
Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of
Health, that “tuberculosis takes its
heaviest toll among those in the
most productive years cf life,” there
is added cause for very genuine con-
cern. The figures reveal that in 1931,
22 per cent of all deaths from tuber-
culosis occurred in the age group
. between 20 and 20 years.
At the time this announcement
was made, it was the cause of grave
concern. The most recent informa-
tiox on the subject showing the
tendency of our supposedly best
group of youth from a health stand-
point, to have tuberculosis, adds to
the gravity of the situation. The nat-
ural conclusion must be that tuber-
culosis having laid hold on the young
people of high school age, pursues
its ravages within the next few
years and claims the lives of many
before they reach the age of 30
years. Total deaths last year, be-
tween 20 and 29 years, were 1,250.

tive tuberculosis, but only the pres-

A passenger on a tramcar noticed
that the conductor was behaving
strangely. At each stop he ran to
the front of the car and dangled a
piece of string in front of the driver,
who swore roundly. Finally the pas-
senger asked: “What's the idea of
this little game you're | laying with
the driver?”
“It's like this, sir, confided the
conductor. “My driver, 'e ain't got
