This fall Wyckoff and his wife, Eve- lyn Colgen, who has been costumiere for the Players, will start the Wyck- off School of Stage and Art Crafts at Edgewater, N.J. Exclusively For Stagecraft The new school will be one of the first in the country to be devoted ex- clusively to stage craft work. Its summer program will bye offered with the Manhattan Theatre Colony at Agunquit, Me. In the course of 20 years Wyckoff has designed and exe- cuted 800 sets while his wife has com- pleted more than 3,500 costumes. In previous winters Wyckoff has been head of the Design Department and Director of Stagecraft at the Philadelphia Museum School of In- dustrial Arts and a'member of Guild O'Craft, a group of artists and arti- sans who do special kinds of art work. Former Broadway Designer In addition to being a former scene designer on Broadway, Wyckoff has been an instructor in stagecraft and art director at the drama school of the Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburgh and also has served with H. Robert Law Scenic Studios in New York. He was art director of the Cincin- nati Art Theatre, the Manhattan Theatre Colony and Repertory The- atre and of the Yorktown Sesquicen- tennial Celebration. At one time he directed the Memphis Little Theatre in Memphis, Tenn. Biggest Buyer on The Cuff-Says He Appointments Bureau Rushed With Requests For Personnel Lord Beaverbrook, British supply minister who arrived in Washing- ton, D.C., after participating in the dramatic sea meeting between Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill of Britain, discussed war supply problems at a press conference at the British Embassy. Guidance An Educational Fad, Dr. W illiam C. Trow Charges By EUGENE MANDEBERG Averaging 10 telegrams and 15 phone calls per day, the Bureau of Appointements and Occupational In- formation is being literally rushed off its feet securing teaching jobs for [students and graduates registered with the office. Requests are primarily for elemen- tary education teachers, commercial education teachers, coaches, shop' work instructors, home economics teachers and teaching engineers, technical workers such as chemists, accountants, and teachers of business administration. Chief concern of the Bureau at this time is those persons who are attempting to tegister for jobs now, and applicants who fail to keep their records up to date. The Bureau has lost much valuable (prestige, leadership, control, etc.), (b) pupil-school, in grades, classes, clubs (rivalry, competition, leader- ship, etc.), and (c) pupil-home, (in family, neighborhood, gangs, econom- ic status, etc:). /' 3. Person to symbol: pupil response to the cultural heritage of words, numbers, etc. Every teacher could " profitably make a study of some one of these situations over a period of years, viewing it in connection with the needed social adjustments of chil- dren, and the aspects of the school, organization that could promote this phase of social learning. Faculty committees could advan- tageously study the problem of the incorporation in the school organiza- tion of the available situations that would promote social growth. If such a study should eventuate in effective action, guidance would not be a gadget to be added to an obsol- escent school structure, but an aspect of the functioning school program. If the school took for one of its major objectives improvement in the field of social learning, the insane asylums and penitentiaries might have fewer of its alumni, and we might develop a socially competent citizenry Ours, Too time, and spent needless sums searching for individuals who pre- viously applied for positions, but who failed to keep the office informed of their whereabouts, and their present employment. Four men, for instance, who had applied for positions with the Bureau were called long distance.several hun- dred miles away, but when finally located, it was found that they had secured jobs in early June. Had they informed the Bureau of their employ- ment when they received it, the calls would have been unnecessary, and other applicants would not have had 'to wait the extra time. An instance was also reported of a woman speech teacher who refused to supply a photograph with her appli- cation because she "didn't take a good picture." (!) (Prospective em- ployers will not even consider appli- cations without a photograph at- tached.) Stressing the importance of keep- ing records up to date, it was pointed out that 100 records had been shown to prospective employers in one day, and those persons whose records are lacking in detail will not be consid- ered. Last year the Bureau placed 211 applicants in college and university alone, and this year is expected to yield just as good a record. But peo- ple who do not leave their correct ad- dresses or who do not complete the record data cannot expect to secure jobs. One case was cited where the office searched for a man in his home town, that being their only ad- dress information, when he was in Ann Arbor. Time and money were wasted simply because of carelessness on that man's part. And failure to notify the Bureau of jobs received is.unfair to those who are on the waiting list, for they must remain idle while the previous appli- cants are being sought after. Research at National Bureau of Standards, Department of Commerce, has more than doubled the life of currency paper.

The Tigers scored eight runs in an unrestrained second inning in the first game to win 12 to 3 and then were knocked back into their humble place as the Yanks captured the nightcap 8 to 3.

Trow in his talk yesterday before a group of educators in the University High School, "seems at present to" be the current educational fad." "In spite of the ignorance of the psychological theories and techniques involved, on the part of many engaged in this work, guidance like other edu- cational fads past and present has many points in its favor. But it can be effective only if it I' conceived as a function of the social institution and not alone of designated individ- uals. Dr. Trow explained that he be- lieved that one of the important func- tions of the school that guidance emphasized was that dealing with the opportunities for social learning. "Social psychology has for its field the relationship of an idividual," he stated, "to other individuals. "As such relationships are studied, developmentally, within the insti- tution of the school, a body of knowl- edge will gradually be built up that will make social learning more effec- tive. Some of the social relationships in educational practice, together with samplings of behavior involved, may be roughly classified as follows: 1. Person to person. This would in- clude (a) teacher-pupil relationships (suggestion, direction, attitudes, etc.) and (b) pupil-pupil\ (friendship, ag- gression, etc.) -2. Person to group. The following would be included: (a) teacher-school Miss Alma Carroll, 18, (above) of Los Angeles, Calif., is the service man's ideal bathing beauty.
