ANN ARBOR, MiCHIGAN, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS i "' I SMALL SCHOOLS MUY PLAN OWN PROGRAMS, SUPERINTENDENT SAYS SIZE SHOULD NOT NECESSARILY HANDICAP INSTITUTION, ERICKSON STATES CITES HILLSDALE SYSTEM Changing Conditions Have Giveni Official More Time for Creative Work, Speaker Explains "It is possible for the small school system to work out a supervisory program on the same basic principles of the larger schools, such as Detroit and Grand Rapids," said Superintend- ent John E. Erickson, of the Hilsdale public schools, in his lecture. "Super- vision in the Small School System," VAven in the auditoium of the Uni- versity High School yesterday after- noon. "Of course it cannot be done as completely or on as large scale, but the results are beneficial." "In former days the dutieseof a sup- erintendent were largely managerial in nature. He had to care for the routine matters and very seldom was he allowed anything to say about the hiring of teachers. But today, even in the smaller schools lie is allowed much more iesponsibility and more of .the routine matter is taken out of his hands. One problem of the super- intendent is to shift more of the pure ly administrative burden to the shoulders of principals and spend more time on the creative and super- visory work, which is, after all, the most important. Today his task is the co-ordinating of the creative and administrative sides." Board Should Be Consulted "In attempting to install an efficient supervisory program in a small school the superintendent should begin by educating the school board to the value of it. This may be done b furnisAing members with information about the school, such as the budget for several years, the superintendents report and. a list of the things to be discussed at the next meeting. When visiting another school take a mem- ber of the school board with you and let him see some of the problems there and the way they are met. "After the board is ready for the project explain the work to the teach- ers. Outline the policy, give the teaching objectives, and build confi- dence towards yourself in the teach- er. Do away with the regular teach- er's meeting and only caf them when you have something to say." Explains DesirableSystem Superinten ent Erickson explained the system 'thich is to be started in the Hilsdale schools this year and gave it as an example of what might be done in other small systems. He showed how much of the administra- tive work was delegated to others and gave the superintendent more time for the creative side. "The functions of the creative sup- ervisor are to build a research pro. gram, to solve instructional prob- lems, to direct the construction of a course of study, to direct a testing program, and to formulate methods of diagnosis and institute remedia measures to correct the conditions and mistakes found," he concluded. i Corn p i1 e Statistics.RECENT NOVELS DO NOT PORTRAY GLAMOR OF LIFE, CONRAD BELIEVES On Students Here Life has a glamor and a gl: w not ing a novel the reader, however, has For Summer Session ep-ted in the novels of the past "or o n tired of the dregs orlife Two sets of statistics given out ,: Edward H.

People are now reaching beyond the mere do- !cumentary type - they are seeking something deeper. A touch of the spiritual, perhaps the mere groping toward an Infinite Being, is what hey are seeking. No 'novelist has vet written a n-vel which does this, and whoever succeds will be open-I ing a new door for novelists.

KRAMERS COMPARES STUDY OF PHYSICS TODAY TO A MUSEUM ELLS OF NEW THEORIES ys Light Imposed Over Light Might Produce Darkness, And Shows Its Double Character "Physics as a science may be com- red to a museum," said Prof. H. A. ramera of Utrecht, Holland, in his ture on "Atomic Structure" yester- y afternoon in Natural Science au- torium. "Experimental physicist e like the museuth expeditions hich go out to all corners of th orld and gather material, while the- etical physicists are those who ar- nge, classify, and put on display, to speak, the material gathered. ke a museum, too it often has to be tirely rearranged to accommodate w material. "This process of rearrangement is hat has been going on in physics nce about 1905, when Einstein en- tciated his light-quanta theory. He und certain discrepancies in his ;ures based on the classical theory light radiation, and concluded that ght radiations from a heated body ere not absorbed in continuous nount, but in small chunks. "The phenomena resulting from iperposition of wave impulses from e source upon -those from another e very significant," declared Prof. ramers, and showed several slides pcting waves in water produced y two conflicting sjurces. "When two pulses, each of which would ordin- ily produce a crest meet, the result a higher crest; likewi1c tvo troug npulses produce a deeper trough. ut when a crest impulse and a trough npulse meet, they neutralibe each ther and the water remains un- oved. "The same phenomenon occurs with ound waves, which 'produce a ftue- atidn in density in the air throug- hich they pass. And during the last hree years light has been. shown to ave similar characteristics. In some ases light superimposed on light pro- uces darkness; and Davis of New ork has observed many interference ffects in his experiments with light. "Recently, however, light has been hown to have a douie character. ften, true, it has wave character- stics; but again, as when it is r*-- adiated from a metal in the form f a photo-electron, it seems to act ke a series of particles. "All this led to the work of th renchman, de Broglie who conclud d that since light was sometime aves and sometimes particles, mat er might be sometimes particles aud ometimes waves. It is that hy- 'othesis that is the basis of recet hysics.
