...Divisional exams in the Senior year consist of a general exam on the field and another in one's special field, chosen from among Systematic Geography, Regional Geography, Climatology, and Physiography. The latter is also, and perhaps more closely, connected with Geology, Geology 1 being required for Geography 4a, the beginning course in Physiography. Geography 5b and 7b, the Physiography of North and South America respectively are considered better courses in Physiography from the point of view of the human geographer. Course 4a was criticized as being too technical for one in Systematic Geography which deals with its effect...
Professor Weston heads all four courses in literature, but they are never all given together. His failing is the same as that noted in Spanish--his literature courses, except perhaps Italian 10 on Dante, consist of literal translations with little or no appreciation or background, and are therefore dull for the advanced student. 4 is his half course on literature in general; in course 5, on modern literature, he devotes three fourths of the time to poetry, and the class consists mainly of translation...
Group one on the program will consist of "shout For Joy" by Bach, "Supplications" by Palestvina, and "Chey-uses For Freemasons" by Mozart. In the second group the Glee Club will sing choruses from "the Yeoman of the Guard" by Sullivan, "Liebeslieder," and three folk songs by Brahms...
Currently there are some 250.000 miles of electric fence in use on more than 100.000 U. S. farms. Most of them consist of a single wire, though many farmers use two, or even three, for small animals. Two or three feet above the ground, the wires are connected with the no-volt electric supply line or to a 6-volt battery through a controller which governs the voltage and current so that the fence will shock livestock without injury. A survey Idaho took two years ago showed that the State's farmers are turning more & more to electric fences...
Less substantial but funnier, Daughters and Sons varies the conventional family novel by concentrating three squabbling generations under one roof. The Ponsonbys consist of a hard-bitten old grandmother, her bludgeoning spinster daughter, her son (a popular author on the down grade), his five children. Isolated in a big country house, the Ponsonby children while away their leisure making dirty cracks about each other, unite in making dirty cracks about their grandmother, who repays them with interest. All hands join in deviling the succession of governesses. For awhile it looks as though they have met their match when one ruthlessly...
