AMERICAN SCHOOLS SAYS TRANSLATION TOO MUCH STRESSED Ability to Read Rather Than Under- standing of Text, of Major Importance H. E. Moore, senior modern lang- uage master of the Isleworth County School, London, began his talk on the"Psychology of Translation" yes- terday afternoon, by giving a short description of the new method of teaching pupils proper pronouncia- tion of modern languages. English Youth Begins Study Early He stated that this method which has been agred upon is difficult to apply in the limited space of time given over to the teaching of modern languages in the American schools. Moore said that in England pupils from the age of eleven on into the 'niversities were taught and develop- ed in the correct manner. 1°e said that the first requisite in teaching of pronounciation was the correct position of the tongue, which ha much more to do with the pro- pounciation of French vowels than in English. Muscular consciousness must be developed in the pupils. English vowels are all dipthongs and one of the practical devices used to overcome the difficulty of pronounciation in an- other language is to sing the vowels, as this aids in showing how wrong theyjare by the viciousnessof their sounds. Mr. Moore continued by saying that too much translation was required of pupils in school, that it was stressed too much in examinations, and that it1 was the most difficult part of a for- eign language to master. He stated that the ultimate aim of] teaching a modern language is to impart the ability to read, not in the American sense, but the power of grasping the subject matter of thei text. "Translation," quoted Mr., Moore, from an, eminent authority ont the subject, "is an obstacle to the1 ability to read," . Mr. Moore quoted many noted writ- ers who are agreed on the fact that too much translation is taught int the schools, He gave a personal ex- perience as an ex.ample. Translation, he said, was not required in business,e but only ' the ability to grasp the meaniing of important matters imme- diately.

WELLS TO PLA "CHICK" EVANS Amateur Golf Champon, University Instrnctor, Accepts Bid to Exhibition Match WILL MEET VETERAN OPPONENT ON COURSE NEAR KALAMAZOO Carleton Wells, amateur golf cham- pion of Michigan yesterday accepted an invitation from the Gull Lake Country Cub, near Kalamazoo, to play in an exhibition match next Tesday afternoon with Chick Evans, who has won more golf medals and championships than any other golfer in the game. Wells, who only last week won the state championship for the second time, said that this would be merely an exhibition mpatch and would perhaps be a foursome. A curious coincidence of this match is that Wells caddied for Evans when the latter was just starting on his championship career, ten or twelve years ago', and the outcome is watch- ed with interest, although there are no titles at stake, Old Instruments Best, Says Wier By Margaret Geddes "Old instruments are the only good instruments," asserted Prof. M. C. Wier in his lecture-recital in Univer- sity hall last night, "the' new ones ae no good." The Italians claim to have made the finest cellos and the first ones. The Germans, however, are believed to have been the earliest manufacturers of the instruments. The oldest cello is dated 1493 and the last great one is dated 1770.

Brumm's @las' in written criticism yesterday mor- 'the principal "theme of Mr. Kirk- land's_ leture was his definition of the photo play from a purely physi- cal sandpontI He defined it as "a number of strips of motion picture film spliced together which, when flashed on the screen tell a story that is entertaining." . "The photo play is, at the present time, influenced by the dramamore than anything else", he explained, "and although the photo play has not the possibilities of the speaking stage, still pictorial art can be developed more than the legitimate stage. When a mechanical medium is interposed in art, the difficulties are multiplied, but the motion picture has many compensations, such as the close-up, and greater variety." The historical development of mo- tion pictures was also discussed by Mr. Kirkland, beginning with the first picture by Edward Muybridge in 1878, up to the invention by Edison and the recent development of the photo play. f Frank W. Stearns Frank W.'Stearns, Boston merchant- millionaire, the man who "brought out" Calvin Coolidge and literally put him in the governor's office in Massa.- chusetts and then put him forward as a vice-presidential candidate, becomes the "Colonel House" of Coolidge's ad- ministration. Stearns is Coolidge's closest friend. The Boston man join- ed the Coolidge party a few hours aft- er the new President began his duties.

WANDEINGS' OF PRESS DESCRIB9E BYlPr. rOOT "The first printing press to be used in the Northwest had a varied careerj in many parts of the world, so I shall call it the "Wanderer," said Prof. A. S. Root, librarian of Oberlin college,I in his lecture yesterday afternoon in Natural Science auditorium. He described the eventful trip of1 this press from Boston, first to Hon- olulu, where it did good service, and then to the Pacific coast from where it . was taken up the Columbia river and, then transported by muleback to the missionary settlement of Marcus Whitman an' Spaulding his associate and used by them to print Bibles,, hymn books which they used in theire task jof trying to conv'ert the In- dians.
