College Trains
10 Stenographers

ography course Monday which is
designed to train them for jobs in
emergency, defense training pro
grams as the College extension

in a department of the College

men for technical jobs in defense.
The course lasts 13 days with
no time off, except Sundays. The

July 4. and on Saturdays.
Night study at home will be
necessary "to absorb the instruc
tion." according to Miss Margaret

College Will Turn Over House
OF Joseph Priestley To State
A famous international shrine
of science, the home of Dr. Joseph
Priestley, a property of the Col
lege since 1932, will be maintain
ed by the State in the future under
a bill now in the legislature.
Located on the banks of the
Susqiiehanna River in Northum
berland, it is the same house in
which Priestley, discoverer of ox
ygen, found 'refuge in America af
ter he had been driven out of Eng
land because of his progressive
religious and political teachings.
He built the house in 1794, and
lived in it until his death in 1804.
Although of general interest,
the house and property of Priest
ley received no attention and was
rapidly reaching a state where
z estoration and preservation
would no longer be possible.

Boys' Slate
Here In August
A spokesman for the American
Legion predicted early this week
that the population of State College
will jump approximately 1.350 for
the eriod from August 1 to August
10—and he also predicted that
they'll all be boys between 15 and
20 years old.
He's right. too, for those are the
dates of this year's American Le
gion BoysLState to be held in State
College. It is not vet known how
many boys will attend but 1.350
were at last year's state held et
Indiantovs - r. Gap
Boys chosen for attendance are
leaders in their schools and com
munities and are in the 15 to 20
age limit with the average between
17 and 18. Last year, 33 organiza
tions participated with the Ameri
can Legion in choosing boys from
all over the state.
The Boys' State has been held
for six years. The boys .all live to
gether with each unit electing lead
ers. Units in turn elect district
leaders. law enforcement officers
and other officials. The whole group
chooses representatives to its legis
lature with the election of a gover
nor. complete with campaigning
and all the other details of a real
election, as the climax.
The entire State follows muni
cipal and state government plans
and furnishes excellent, practical
experience in civic and democratic
procedure. The boys maintain their
own disciplinary system.
Directories Obtainable
Student directories may be ob
tained at Student Union. Old Main.
Saturday. Those who failed to
reserve copies may buy them at
the price of 15 cents.
It was at this state that Dr.
George G. Pond, Dean of the
School of Chemistry at the Col
lege, took interest in the house
and through the generosity of the
Chemistry alumni was able to buy
the entire property in 1919. Ap
proximately $22,000 was collected
after . Dr. Pond's death the follow
ing year and expended in restor
ing the house, developing the
grounds and in the construction of
a fire proof museum.
Feeling that title to the prop
rety should be vested in some self
perpetuating organization, the
Chemistry alumni of the College
transferred the property to the
College in 1932: After maintain
ing the Priestley House for 11
years, the -College -is now ready to
turn it over to the :State and 'thus
assure its permanent preservation.
PRICE-TEN CENTS
Many New Registrants
Expected To Be Called
Before End Of Year
Seventy-six students register
ed at the special draft registration
in Rec Hail and 88 registered at
Local Board No. 1 in the borough
during the nation's second day of
peacetime registration Tuesday.
The registrants-164 in all—
are a small part of approximately
1,000,000 who became 21 years of
age since the first registration day
last October 16. At that time, 1,-
554 students registered at the Col
lege registration in the Armory.
It is expected that a large ma
iority of the new registrants will
be under arms six months from
now but it is not known to what
extent this will apply to college
students.
Students who registered last
October were accorded special
legislation which permitted them
to be deferred until the end of the
academic year. However, that
law is no longer effective and stu
dents may now have to go imme
diately when called.
The only present hope for defer
ment of students comes from a re
quest made by Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, acting director of Selec
tivQ Service, several months ago.
Heasked local boards, who have
final authority, to "postpone the
induction of students until the end
of the semester in which they are
called."
If draft boards abide by Gen
eral Hershey's request, most stu
dents will be able to finish at least
one semester without interruption.
After that, they will probably be
called immediately.
It is evidently the opinion of
college officials that this will be
the case for they have predicted
that enrollment next fall will be
only slightly affected by the draft.

Enrollment Now
Al 2,200 Mark
Incomplete tabulation of enroll
ment statistics yesterday revealed
that approximately 2,200 students
are in attendance at the main sum
met' session.
This figure, released from the
registrar's office, does not include
those attending the Band and Or
chestra School or the students
taking summer work at Altoona.
A few regular summer students
were also missed in the tabula
tion.
Prof. R. W. Grant, head of the
department of music, said that
about 125 students were in the
Band and Orchestra School. These,
with the few at Altoona, will
probably bring the final enroll
ment figure to approximately 2,-
350.
This will be nearly 500 less than.
the 2.821 enrolled here last sum
mer• when attendance exceeded
the 1939 figure by about 100.
No breakdown is yet available
one the enrollment figure. Last
year there were 1,491 men and
1.332 women. Graduate students
numbered 1,070, undergraduates
F2B, and those taking general
ecurses 1,015.
The decrease in enrollment has
been attributed to national defense
which, it is believed, has provided
jobs for many men who came to
the College summer session in past
years.
