ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS X - R A Y F I E L D DO IN SCOPE AND V/DENS' MEANS WORK, SINCE 1912, WITH DISCOVERY OF WAVE THEORY, USE HAS DEVOLOPED LECTURE IS ILLUSTRATEDI Speaker On Regular Lecture Program Describes Modern Methods For Operation "Uses for the X-ray are rapidly in-j creasing, especially since the discov- ery of the wave theory in 1912," said, Assistant Professor James M. Cork,, in his lecture, "X-ray and their Use in Science," delivered in the auditor- ium of the. Natural Science building yesterday afternoon. The speaker described the present idea of the rays cast off by the X-ray tube as being a series of light waves about one five thousandth of the length of ordinary light waves. Cer- tain objects or substances are more1 opaque to these waves than others, and when an object composed of such! substances is placed in a substance more transparent the rays from the tube make a shadow on a photo- graphic plate. For example, if the human body is placed between the X-rays and a photographic plate, the bones will appear as dark shadows. Main Use Medical This gives rise toone of thedmain uses of the X-ray, that of medicine. It is possible to photograph not only the banes, but also the arteries or di- gestive system, by giving the patient, Retiring Urged By Revised Prayer Book Most ilei.

In the same way, the X- ray is used inthestudy of botany and zoology, and aids in the study of plants and animals. Prof. Cork told of experiments that were made with a large n nber of beetles that tended to show that X- rays are capable of ending life. He stated that nearly all of the early experimenters in the X-ray died as a result of their contact with the rays. Active In Science One of the increasingly important uses of the X-ray is in industry ac- cording to Prof. Cork. It is possible to discover artificial diamonds, due' to the fact that the real diamond is more transparent to X-rays than are any of the substances used to make artificial stones. Moreover, since the X-ray has en- abled scientists to picture and chart the atomical make-up of the various elements, it has been useful in the discovery of new elements, and also offers a method for the chemist to discover what is in a mixture of ele- ments. In the same manner it is possible to tell whether a certain metal can be stretched or whether it is good enough for certain purposes requiring great strain. An auditorium filled to capacity is expected to greet PresidentkClarence Cook Little when he speaks tomor- row afternoon at 5 o'clock on the subject "Science and Religion" in Natural Science auiditorium. In delivering his talk tomorrow President Little will make his first public appearance before the stu- dents of the Summer Session. The lecture previously scheduled for that time on "Don Quixote" by Professor Charles P. Wagner of the department of, Romance Languages has been can- celled, according to Edward H. Kraus, dean of the Summer Session, to make possible the accommodations for the president's address. In his address the president is ex- pected to discuss the various aspects of the relationship between the func- tions of science and the field of re- ligion, according to Martin Mol, '30, president of the Student Christian Association, which is sponsoring the lecture. 0 Arrangements have been made whereby the doors of the auditorium will be open at 4:30 o'clock, thus eliminating the congestion at the door. The lecture will begin a few minutes past five, enabling students who have four o'clock classes to at- tend. 'SCHORLING COMPARES MOERN CLASSROOMS TO CELLSIN PRISONH TEACHER MUST BE TRAINED DURING HIS EARLY CAREER FAVORS CLASS INSPECTION Divides Lecture Into 21 Points For Consideration In Adjusting New Teacher "Most classrooms today are more like prisons than pleasant study rooms," declared Prof. Raleigh Schor- ling in a lecture on "What To Do With Thee Beginning Teacher" de- livered in the auditorium of the Uni- versity high school yesterday after- noon. That the teacher should do all he could td' make the classroom as attractive and home-like as possible was one of the main points made by the speaker, "However, in spite of the apparent deficiency in this line at present, the school systems of the state are mak- ing great progress in beautifying their buildings," he added. Light Work Desired The lecture was divided into a dis- cussion of 21 points necessary for consideration in adjusting the new teacher to his position. The first of these was that the beginning teacher should be given the lightest possible burden of work to carry. "It too often happens that all the extra duties and more difficult types of work are loaded onto the newcomer," Professor Schorling pointed out. "This should not be done, because there is enough difficulty to be met with in making the adjustment to new working conditions. "It must also be realized that an important part of the teachers train- ing must be given him during the early months of service," he went on. "The principal or supervisor should get acquainted with the teach- er in this time, learning something of his personal problems, aiding him in illness, and contriving in every way possible to get him acquainted] and adjusted. Tactful Critleism "Your true function is to mobilize good practice and to distribute it to those that need it," he said, address- ing himself particularly to the ad- ministrators. "It is a good idea to team the beginning teacher with one that is experienced and an "old" member of the staff," Professor Schorling con- tinued. "This will almost certainly help the newcomer by accelerating his initiation into the routine of the school." FOURTH CONCERT PLAYED TONIGHT With a varied and well-balanced program and a group of three artists each making his distinct contribution to the evening's enjoyment, the fourth summer concert at 8:15 o'clock to- night in Hill auditorium is expected to draw a large crowd of the musical- ly inclined. Earl V. Moore, organist, Thelma Lewis, soprano, and Emily Mutter, violinist will be the feature artists and, Bach, Widor, Scarlatti, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Kresler, and, by request, Mr. Moore's own composi- tion, "ReverietatrTwilight," the high lights of the program. TEACHERS H E A R M R S. HENDERSON At the Women's Educational Club meeting Monday night Mrs. W. D. Hen- derson, who had charge of the drive to raise the money for the new Women'sj League Building, spoke on the new building. Mary White, president of the Women's League for 1928-29, and M'arie 'Hairwig, summer president, also spoke. Mrs. Henderson described the base- ment o f the new building where the' main kitchen and service rooms will be installed. On the next floor the' women's lounge, a memorial to Ethel Fountain Hussey, who was the first president of the Women's League, and the men's and women's lounge will be situated. "Summer school students would find it difficult to discover a more profitable place to spend the vacation months than on the campus at Ann Arbor," declared Dr. Robert Hannah, of the speech department, in an in- terview granted yesterday. 'The ad- vantages of the summer session are twofold. First, it offers a place where intensive study, and graduate and re- search work can be carried on. Teachers and others interested in do- ing special work are made to feel that they are accomplishing some- thing. "In the second place," Doctor Han- nah pointed out, "the university offers a great many special functions, such as excursions to points of interest in the district conducted by experts, several series of lectures by eminent authorities covering almost every field of learning and study, and a number of interesting and instructive programs of drama and music. All of these things give the students an opportunity to broaden themselves in many ways. A larger cultural back- ground is open to them, while their regular studies give them the special training which is their primary pur- pose in coming here, "The value of the fine things pre- sented in the field of music and drama cannot be overestimated," he added. "The Rockford players, who have an unusually fine company this summer, have been giving us some most interesting plays. The frequent RECORD~I S SET FOR AMOUNT OF STUDENT LOANS Outstanding loans to students num- bered 1002 for a total of $119,000 on July 1, it was reported today by Dean of Students Joseph A. Bursley. This total amount and number of loans are the greatest since funds for stu- dent help first became available, it is said. Figures of a year ago show that $81,000 was outstanding in 807 loans, while those of two years ago point out that 587 students held $55,000. The increases are due, it is asserted, to the fact that employment condi- tions were bad in the summer of 1927 and during much of the last school year, affecting both the stu- dents and their parents. Wider knowledge of the student loan funds and a gradually increasing amount available for student loans are also held to be factors. "Many students who planned to work to earn at least part of the cost of their expenses were unable to find employment a year ago," Mr. Bursley stated, "while others were affected indirectly, being forced to borrow be- cause their parents were in financial difficulty." Creation of the Brosseau Founda- tioon, by which $23,000 is available annually for a period of five years, also helped swell the total. The ; Brosseau foundation funds were available last year for the first time, and 112 loans were made for a total of $21,500. TICKETS ON SALE FOR PRISON TRIP The Michigan state prison at Jack- son will be visited on the seventh excursion for summer students which will start at 8 o'clock next Saturday morning from the State street en- trance of Angell hall. Round trip tickets are $1.25, and may be obtain- ed until 6 o'clock Friday night in room 8 University hall. The party will arrive back in Ann Arbor about noon. DAVIS TO SPEAK ON HIGH SCHOOLS C. O.

Yet it was amusing, if somewhat frenzied in parts; and as in the case of the best oloemargarine, after you get used to the difference in wrap- per you find the product pretty much the same. Only the reference to swords where there obviously are none on the gentlemen concerned, and the use of the word "naughty"- whose connotation has changed a bit in some three centuries-gave some slight pause to the listener's credul- ity. As in the case of "Comedy of Er- rors" last summer, the cast has a good time, Robert Henderson steps for the nonce from naive youth into uncouth comedy (his two stock roles)-and the advanced publicity is execrable. I refer to the advertising of "The Comedy of Errors" as "Shakespeare's Rioutous Rhapsgidy in Blue," and to the announcement of the current offering in modern dress and out with the broadside query, "How do you like your Shakespeare?" If the question were relevant at all, the only answer would naturally be, "Well done." Of the acting in detail, more in a later review. In passing it is to be noted that Miss Kelly and Mis Bron- son handle their comedy-as Beat- rice and Margaret-with verve and wit; that Elberta Trowbridge, though not-I think-of the stature and complexion which Shakespeare intended for Hero, yet fills that role charmingly and accurately enough; that Samuel Bonell as Don John has the proper bastardly leer, and that his acting is agreeably smooth. Rob- ert Henderson, though he bungled his lines a bit last night, and overplayed his part now and then, is really very funny as Dogberry, the prototype of our bucolic arm of the law. There does not seem to be any ex- cuse for the music offered in connec- tion with this production, except for the few snatches of not unpleasant lyric sung from the stage. Bohnen Professes Liking For Playing Characters In Shakespearian Dramas "I thoroughly enjoy playing Shake-1 spearian roles," said Roman Bohnen. leading man with the Rockford Play- ers, and this week appearing as Ben- edick in "Much Ado' About Nothin: "The lines are usually easy for me to learn." "How much Shakespeare have I played? Well, in 'As You Like It' I have played Orlando and Old Adam, in Twelfth Night' Sir Toby Belch and Sebastian. I also played in 'Romeo and Juliet,' 'The Taming of the Shrew" 'Midsummer Night's Dream.'I In 'Much Ado About Nothing,' I have played Antonio. This is my first time as Benedick. Until now my work in Shakespeare ha ;been done under the direction of B. Iden Payne, for- merly director of the Manchester Players in England. ie was also head of the dramatic school at Car- negie Tech, but is now with the Good- man Theater in Chicago." "I think that the use of scenery and modern stage equipment is a decided ian plays. The old style -enids to make the performance too pedantic," he said. Mr. Bohnen's interests, although primarily with the stage ari not con- fined to drama. He is president', of the Fine Arts Guild of Chicago, th purpose of which is to pluce fine ar' within reach of the gentral public and especially the schools. He re- ceived three years of his schooling in Germany, and now prep.res Ger- man scripts for production at th Goodman Memorial theater in Chica- go, as well as teaching make-up in the dramatic school there. For the past three years he has written and directed the annual pageants for V Art Institute, of which he is a mem ber. "I have had a very enjoyable time playing in Ann Arbor to audiences, whose intelligence level is far above the average city audience. I like the town, too, for I have been treated very kindly, and I hope I may have a chance to return some time in the advantage in producing Shakespear-I future," he concluded.
