PAGE FOUR Margaret Sanger Explains Birth Control Movement ' , Birth control is a conscious control of the birth rate by means of preventing conception," Mrs. Margaret Sanger, originator of the birth control movement, gives as her definition of the work she has been doing for more than 30 years. Mrs. Sanger is in State College visiting her brother Coach Bob Higgins, professor of physical edu cation. She points out that birth control does not mean to limit or interfere with life, because life is not there todestroy. Many people, Mrs. Sanger said, at first believed that it advocates abortion, which is very far from the idea. The first organization started in 1921. Now called "The Planned Parenthood Federation of Ameri ca," it has its own research bureau which is the largest of its kind in the world. It gives marriage counseling to more than 6,000 new patients each year. Mrs. Sanger said that her first publication, "The Woman Rebel" was published for th e express purpose of exposing the Comstock -Law. It lasted almost a year, but each copy was suppressed almost immediately after printing. To day the organization publishes the scientific "Journal of Fer tility" and the "Birth Control News," which is distributed to its members. When asked about other -hin drances that faced her and the organization, she said that the big trouble today is in getting re ligious leaders to see the value of this movement and to secure their help. However, many cler gymen have helped, and more are pointing in that direction. Mrs. Sanger said that she has many hobbies, but at the moment painting is occupying her atten tion. While visiting at the Col lege,' she is studying painting un der Hobson Pittman, nationally known artist and summer instruc tor at the College.

Dean Ray Advises Sleep, Study For Good Grades From the Dean of Women's Of fice comes the message of sev eral faculty members that their interviews with students having low grades "have shown that some students waste the early hours of the evening and then at tempt to study when they should be sleeping." Charlotte E. Ray, dean of women, remarked at Wednesday's Women's Student Government Association meeting that "a similar note comes from the Health Ser vice, reporting that many students who enter the College infirmary need to spend the first day or two in sleep."

SOME LOOSE LEAF NOTEBOOKS Shop at Metzger's Visiting Professor Teaches English At College Workshop What methods of teaching can one use when confronted with a class of pupils, some accelerated, the majority average, and a few slow? This is the major problem the workshop is trying to solve this summer, and Miss Ellen Gey er, professor of English and Eng lish education' at the University of Pittsburgh, is on e member of the workshop working on the problem. "I have been experimenting with how to teach composition, reading, and literature on these three levels, for I acknowledge that tile day when the teacher can hold her text book and require the pupil to stand at his seat and recite what he has studied is long past," declared Miss Geyer, au thor of six text books in high school English, called "Enjoying English," and one in college Eng lish, called "Communicating Eng lish." "The keynote of the whole workshop," continued Miss Gey er," is how we shal meet the educational problems of the changing world. We shall be practical in realizing that parents want their progeny to learn not only college subjects, but also citizenship, home membership, and proper use of leisure time." When asked about the' Univer sity of Chicago's plan of admit ting students. on the basis of only two or three years of high school, The FIRST NATIONAL B ANK of STATE COLLEGE Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation A Common Expression in Town and on Campus SALE AT REDUCED PRICES REFERENCE and GENERAL READING BOOKS 112 E. College Avenue FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1945 Miss Geyer said that the plan has great possibilities for the persons who are• bright and who are des tined to be leaders. Mat the av erage student, she emphasized, has to grow up both in high school and college, and the IChicago sys tem therefore is not so favorable. Miss Geyer, a graduate of the University of lowa, was formerly a professor at the Universities of lowa, Chicago, and Montana. She explained that this is her fourth summer at the Penn State work shop. "During the first few weeks, the students, who are all doing ad vanced graduate study, discuss the theory and philosophy of mod ern education," stated Miss Geyer. After that they go into research through committees to discuss the general problems Of teaching Eng lish and the particular problems of workshop members. "A large part of the enthusiasm exhibited by workshop students is a result of social contact. They are permitted to talk freely with their professors and all come in for private interviews. Informal discussion among themselves also leads to better understanding of the different problems of educa tion which confront them," con cluded Miss Geyer.
