It is not connected with the It. O. T. C. camp, to which a number of stu dents have already signified their inten tion of going. Students interested are asked to see the executive secretary, Karl OntUank. DEAN ALLEN HONORED. Uric \V. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, has been asked by President E. A. Birge, of the University of Wiscon sin, to re| resent that institution at the installation of Richard F. Sehola as president of Heed College, dune !>.

LOCAL PAPER TO BE Editing Students to Have Charge of Register Friday. Following a precedent established eight years ago, the class in editing of the school of journalism will edit, publish and otherwise supervise one issue oA the Eu gene Morning Register. The issue se lected has been that of Friday, June 10. The nine members of the graduating class without assistance from any source will do the work of the issue and have full charge. Neither Mr. Jenkins, of the Register, nor Dean Allen, of the school of journalism, will appear upon the scene, though both will be consulted regarding policies to be maintained before issuing the paper. Last year, according to Dean Allen, there was no advance publicity given by tho downtown papers regarding the an nual custom of the class, it being the de sire of the department to learn if the subscribers could tell of a change in man agement. The experiment proved a suc cess, in that, as far as could be found, no one. noticed any difference in the paper. Stepping into a strange newspaper of fice and taking over the entire plant is one of the problems that will confront future journalists, and it is to success fully cope with such a situation that this problem is annually given the class in editing as a test of their ability. Charles Gratke has been selected as managing editor and Harry Smith will be in charge of the editorial page. The Associated Press service will be handled by Gene Kelly on the telegraph desk. Ja cob Jacobson and Carlton K. Logan will be responsible for the main city news, as sisted by Jennie Perkins, Robert Boetti clier and Stanley Eisman.

Hummell, Prop. What Is Research ? V SUPPOSE that a stove burns too much coal for the amount of heat that it radiates. The manufacturer hires a man familiar with the principles of combustion and heat radiation to make experiments which will indicate desirable changes in design. The stove selected as the most efficient is the result of research. Suppose that you want to make a ruby in a factory—not a mere imitation, but a real ruby, indistinguishable by any chemical or physical test from the natural^stone. You begin by analyzing rubies chemically and physically. Then you try to make rubies just as nature did, with the same chemicals and under similar conditions. Your rubies are the result of research—research of a different type from that required to improve the stove. Suppose, as you melted up your chemicals to produce rubies and experimented with high temperatures, you began to wonder how hot the earth must have been millions of years ago when; rubies were first crystallized, and what were the forces at play that made this planet what it is. You begin an investigation that leads you far from rubies and causes you to formulate theories to explain how the earth, and, for that matter, how the whole solar system was created, That would be research of a still different type—pioneering into the unknown to satisfy an insatiable curiosity. Research of all three types is conducted in the Laboratories of the General Electric Company. But it is the third type of research— pioneering into the unknown—that meafis most, in the long run, even though it is undertaken with no practical benefit in view. At the present time, for example, the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company are exploring matter with X-rays in order to discover not only how the atoms in different substances are arranged but how the atoms themselves are built up. The more you know about a substance, the more you can do with it. Some day-this X-ray work will enable scientists to answer more definitely than they can now the question: Why is iron magnetic? And then the elec trical industry will take a great step forward, and more real progress will be made in five years than can be made in a century of experi menting with existing electrical apparatu^ You can add wings and stories to an old house. But to build a new house, you must begin with the foundation. General _ Coixilpasiy General Office Nia? Schenectady, N. Y» i
