THE RIMROCK ECHO 5 INTERESTING BOOKS ADDED TO LIBRARY Do a litlte reading for pleasure and \general culture\ as well as for \required reading.\ The library is supplied with books for this type of reading, as well as the more pro- fessional type. About fifty new books have been added which can supply either want. Among them is \The March of Democracy\ by James Truslow Adams, which viv- idly illumines American history in a very interesting manner. Then we have \Looking Forward\ by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which presents the President's theories of government and his program for the new deal. A third book worthy of interest is \The House of Exile\ by Nora Wain, a book about China, which Pearl Buck characterizes as \undoubtedly one of the most de- lightful books of personal experi- ence that has yet been written about China.\ A book entitled \Manners for Millions\ by Sophie Hadida is a really practical book of etiquette, which may be a guide to the reader in situations which he is apt to meet rather than in the intricacies of a ten course dinner or an elabo- rate church wedding. Possibly of more academic inter- est among our new books may be mentioned \Education as Guid- ance\ by John M. Brewer, \An In- troduction to the Principles of Teaching,\ by -Clyde and Mary His- song, \Children Who Cannot Read,\ by Marion Monroe, and about forty others in all the fields in which we' study. FIRST SCHOOL LUNCHEON SPONSORED BY KATOYAS The first all-school luncheon of the year was held in the gymna- sium of the E. M. N. S. Wednesday, November 1, with nearly 400 in attendance. The Katoya Players were in charge, assisted by the members of the classes in dramat- ics and practical speech. Each stu- dent committee was under the su- pervision of a faculty member. The menu for the luncheon con- sisted of meat loaf, peas, baked potatoes, rolls, coffee, fruit and pumpkin pie. Miss Sally Warner, president of the Katoya Players, presided and a short program was presented, con- sisting of group singing led by Mr. Ridgely, a talk by Dr. McMullen, a vocal solo by Helen Lewis, accom- panied by Marie Borberg, and a chalk talk by Jack McLean. Mr. Ray Shannon, member of the House of Representatives from Sanders County, was a guest of the club. E. M. N. S. ATTAINS ITS HIGHEST ENROLLMENT The addition of one student on Monday, November 20, enabled the E. M. N. S. to attain the highest enrollment of any regular school quarter. The credit for this new record is given to Miss Catherine Peltzer of Glendive. Her enrollment raised the former record of 365 to 366, one more student than the total in the winter quarter of 1932. Students Enjoy Stoner's World's Fair Film Nov. 23 \Through a Century of Progress with Beppo,\ a three-reel Instructo film depicting the World's Fair in Chicago was presented in the gym at 8 p. m., Thursday, November 23, by Robert Stoner and 'George Farr. This film shows the exterior of many of the different fair build- ings and the interior of the Chinese Temple of Jehol, the Belgian vil- lage, and the Hall of Transporta- tion. \Sugar a one-reel film taken at the beet-sugar factory in Billings and in the beet fields near Billings, was also presented. EMPLOYMENT FIGURES FOR GRADUATES HIGH According to a survey made by the board of recommendations of Montana State University unem- ployment has struck less heartily at graduates of Missoula than those of many colleges and universities. A report issued by the national committee of unemployed youth states that more than 80% of the nation's 1932 graduates were un- able to obtain self supporting jobs and makes the prediction that only one out of every eight of 1933 grad- uates will be successful in finding employment. More than 50% of the Montana 1932 August and December gradu- ates and of the 1933 March and June graduates have full time em- ployment. Only 30% have part time jobs or are not working. Eighteen per cent of the total group of 211 graduates are continuing their edu- cation. McMULLEN APPOINTS LUNCHEON ADVISERS At a recent faculty meeting Dr. McMullen appointed faculty mem- bers who will act throughout the year as advisers to the student committees in charge of the lunch- eons. They are as follows: Mr. Stuber, buying; Mr. Abbott, tables; Miss Roberts, decorations; Miss Meek and Mr. Dean, kitchen; Mr. Shunk, coffee; Miss Stevenson, serving; Miss Dewey, kitchen po- lice; and Mr. Ridgely, music. Each organization or group which sponsors a luncheon will appoint the student committees to do the work under the direction of these faculty advisers. Very busy people always find time for everything. Conversely, people with immense leisure find time for nothing. SHANNON IS LUNCHEON GUEST Mr. Ray Shannon, representative from Sanders county, was a guest of Dr. McMullen at the E. M. N. S. Luncheon of November 1. Mr. Shannon is chairman of the appro- priations committee of the House of Representatives. He told a good story when introduced by Dr. Mc- Mullen. Education is knowing what you want, how to get it, and what to do with it after you get it. Katoyas Have Varied Program At Meeting At the regular meeting of the Katoya Players on Tuesday eve- ning, November 21, a very attrac- tive program was given. A humor- ous little skit, entitled \The Road to Improvement,\ was presented by Rosalind Landon, Jean Burkhart, Glen Livingston, and Art Martin. This farce was written by a mem- ber of Miss Meek's class in Fresh- man English in the Teachers Col- lege in Aberdeen, S. Dak., as a part of a unit on Good Manners. Mar- garet Colness rendered a couple of excellent vocal numbers, accom- panied by Marie Borberg. The pro- gram was completed with Marie playing two piano solos. The Players are planning a Christ- mas party for Tuesday, December 19. Meeting Held November 7 The Katoya Players held their second meeting of the year on Tuesday, November 7. After roll call a brief business meeting was held. The program consisted of a drill on parliamentary law, con- ducted by Mr. Hawkes. COMMITTEE ON ADULT EDUCATION TO MEET AT GREAT FALLS The adult education committee will report before the Montana So- ciety for the Study of Adult Educa- tion on December 27, at Great Falls. Dr. L. B. McMullen is chairman of the adult education committee, tak- ing Chancellor Brannon's place. Reports will be made by: Dr. Gladys Branegan of the Montana State College, on Parent Educa- tion; Superintendent C. G. Man- ning of Lewistown, on Citizenship Education; Secretary M. P. Moe, on Vocational Education; Director John C. Taylor, on Agricultural Ex- tension Service; and Dr. L. B. Mc- Mullen, on Adult Education in Gen- eral. ABBOTT PRESENTS FILM Mr. Abbott conducted the Custer County Institute at Miles City Thursday morning, October 26. This meeting is entirely separate from the M. E. A., which was held October 25, 26 and 27 in that city. Custer county teachers convened to discuss all phases of teaching. Mr. Abbott entertained the Amer- ican History class Tuesday, Novem- ber 14, with a showing of the \Wolfe of Montcalm\ film. This is one of the \Chronicles of America Series,\ others of which will be shown later to the students. FOUR TO GRADUATE DEC. 22 Only four students are candi- dates for graduation at the end of the fall quarter, DecenTher 22. Just twice before in the seven- year history of the school has such a small class been graduated. The graduating class of March, '28, which was the first class, had three members. A class of four was graduated once before, in De- cember, 1928. Diamonds are chunks of coal that have stuck to their job. ARTICLE BY HAWKES IN HISTORICAL OUTLOOK In the Historical Outlook of No- vember, 1933, will be found an article entitled \A Unit Fusion Orientation Course in Social Sci- ence,\ written by Professor J. L. Hawkes of our Social Science de- partment. The article was written for the National Council for Social Studies. The article thoroughly explains the first year course, Social Sci- ence for Teachers, which Professor Hawkes has built up in this school. An explanation is given of the Mc- Mullen Plan of Teacher Training by which is necessitated a division of the Academic course into units that are one month in length. There are six units in all. Emphasizes Knowing How to Teach As stated by Professor Hawkes in the article, the purpose of this course is to orient the student to the influences of the social sciences upon life. The aim is to achieve an understanding of the fundament- al principles in each of the units considered rather than the mere acquisition of facts. Although the first prerequisite of the teacher is to have something to teach, the second is to know how to teach it. Professionalization thus becomes a second fundamental aim of the course. In accord with the theory that learning is an active process, Prof. Hawkes all along places special emphasis on pupil participation. Pupils find expression through oral reports, objective studies, field trips, and group discussions. The Foreview, Study Outlines, Objective Studies, Problem Ques- tions, Floor Talks, and suggested References are given for each unit in just the order that the students receive them. Makes Debut in New York Miss Virginia La Rue, whose four- octave soprano singing voice has delighted E. M. N. S. students at various concerts sponsored by the school within the past several years, made a very successful de- but in grand opera when she sang the title role of \Lucia di Lam- mermoor\ in the Hippodrome on October 30. The critics praised Miss La Rue greatly and marveled at the range of her voice. CLUB GOES TO ROUNDUP November 10, 83 members of the Young Peoples' Democratic Club of Yellowstone County drove to Round- up to attend the formal organiza- tion of the Musselshell County Young Peoples' Democratic Club at the Tavern in Roundup. E. IL N. S. students who attended this meet- ing are Martha Sekulich, Doris Welch, Margaret Lamers, Leona Dupont, Eleanor Nelson, Equilla Sutherland, Nellie Crane and Freda Colwell. The nation gasps when we sen- tence a man to hang for stealing a human being, but it cheered when we hanged them for stealing horses.
