These degrees will be confer red upon men and women who pass rigid examinations and re quirements in tho field of school administration, a more hishly spe cialized field than Is required for tho ordinary master of arts ur master of philosophy degree. Holders of the degrees Wo ex pected to find them of hmh pro fessional value, since they will stamp the gradualo as one spe cialized in the field of education.

"It is likely that further read justments will have to take place, HARVEY S. FIRESTONE 1 larvey S. Firestone, prosidunt of the Firestone Tire & Rubber company, strikes a noto of sound optimism over the outlook for the tire Industry in ' 1931. ' He says: "The tire industry ' has been greatly dislurhod hy the heavy declines In the prices of its two most important, raw materials rubber and cotton. This has brought ubout a good deal of dis organization ' and an unusual amount of financial trouble among the smaller and less well financed concerns. Some of them have the new y ea rs and I think that on the whole tho tire industry goes into 1931 in a basically much healthier condition than that In which It entered 1929, for it was then that the troubles of 1930 had their birth. "Tho losses taken on raw ma terials have been as drastic as in 1931. Crude rubber dropped the same percentage In 1930 as it did in 1921 72 per cent. We inven toried our stocks in 1929 with rubber at 20 cents. This year wo had to Inventory at something less than 10 cents. In cotton the percentage drop was not so groat, but it was a big percentage. Hut notwithstanding all theso troubles with raw materials we have made j I enormous technical progress. What I j you pay ono dollar for today, you ' had to pay about $10.00 for in; I !1 3, In tires and service. In 1913, or thereabouts; a man made about 10 tires in 10 hours. To day he will mako 10 tiros in ono hour. "The durability of the tires gave tho public an opportunity during 1930 really to try to wear them out. Tho tiro industry sold 70. OOO.ooo tires in 1929 and probably sold only 55,000,000 in 1930. Tho gasoline consumption of 1930 was larger than In 1929, which means that automobiles travelled more miles .and consumed more tiro mileage in 1930 than they did in 1929. Hut tho car owners used their spare tires nnd lso they ropnlred their tires they made them do. There- is no question in Jiiy mind that in. 1931 these consumers- must come Into the market not only for' their normal tiro requirements but also they will need to buy new spares. Thus, I bollove that tho tiro Industry will have a very largo business In 1931." piirpb and black yarn yards and yards of it und it kept gelling : t igliter. Can -yiu guess where, j KiiHty was?
