Some Sub Teachers Lax
Too manv teachers holding em
ergency teaching certificates are
making no effort to qualify them
selves for permanent certificates.
Joy Hill Gubser, assistant su
perintendent of public Instruction,
reported at a meeting oi tne state
Rnard of Education, in Salem
Wednesday, that the privilege has
been seemingly abused in some
quarters. In one Instance a teach
er has been employed on an em
ergency certificate for 14 years
while never taking a summer
course or any other action to
qualify herself as a permanent
teacher.

There has been no organized re

ideas about a livestock program

"It still bothers me," the gov
ernor said, "that 70 percent of the
pork we by here In Oregon is im
ported." He assured the mem
bers they will have the coopera
tion of the new Department of
Planning and Development, the

'Brief hand' Writing
Introduced at OSC;
Ntrstg Dtals Gvn Bio
OREGON STATE COLLEGE
A new system for abbreviating
longhand and increasing writing
sneed will be introduced on an
experimental basis for the first
time in a college classroom next
quarter at Oregon State college.
Called "Briefhand", the new
system has been found to speed
up longhand writing from the
usual 30 to 40 words a minute
to 80 or 100 with a little practice
and training, accordinc to the
OSC professor who helped perfect
the system.
It differs from shorthand and
other short-cut writing systems
in that no special symDois are
used for words only letters and
abbreviations that cut down the
writing load.
Under the Briefhand system,
sDeed-uo is achieved by such
things as dropping the silent vow
els and using word abbreviations.
Number heeomes nmbr, service is
srvc, address adrs, a is abbrevia
tion for an, and, at, about.
"The svstem look interesting'
is written "e stsm loks nstrg."
Dr. Theodore Yerian, head oi
the department of business edu
cation and secretarial science at
OSC, worked on the Briefhand
method and is one of the four
authors of the new book that out
lines the system.
Hp is convinced that Bneinana
has creat possibilities not only for
students and clerical workers
who. spend a good part of their
time taking notes, but also for
"anyone interested in writing
more rapidly businessmen,
housewives, salesmen, reporters,
lawyers, etc."
Yerian emphasizes that Brief
hand is not a replacement for
high speed shorthand that en
ables stenographers to take dicta
tion or notes at 125-200 words a
minute. For the really skilled
worker, shorthand is faster and
better, he says.
For the average person, how
ever, who is not Interested in
shorthand training, Briefhand can
streamline writing, Yerian be
lieves. It is easily self-learned, he
said, and has already brought
favorable comment from students,
business teachers and school ad
ministrators who have heard ab
out the system.
Protects Christmas
Trees From Flames
Tn fireproof vour Chistmas tree
which is still a hazard even with
electric lights, select your tree
four to six days before you intena
to decorate it. Then weigh the tree
and buv one-fourth as many lbs.
of ammonum sulfate as the tree
weighs. This chemical is avail
able in most stores that sell seeds
and fertilizers.
For each pound of ammonium
sulfate use 1V2 pints of water to
make the fireproofing solution.
Mix the solution in something tall
and narrow that will hold the
tree upright. Then saw off the
tree diagonally so as to give a
large cut surface. Set tne tree in
thp solution in a cool place, away
from the direct sunlight and
leave it there until most of the
'solution be absorbed.
