Change Urged In Education Secondary School, Should Meet Life Problems More Ef- fectively Says Harvard Pro- fessor to Quebec Teachers Secondary school education should be reorganized to cope more effectively with the proh- lems of personal and social life, Dr. Warren Seyfert, professor of secondary education at Harvard University, told teachers attend- ing the annual meeting of the Quebec Provincial association of Protestant teachers, "All the present curriculum need not be scrapped," he said. "Rather it wculd be qualified, and adapted to the needs of the pupils and the society they ware living in. ADAPT TO NEED OF PUPILS "Allied to it would be the func- tional emphasis of the language, arts, a study of the student's na- tural environment, a c¢o-ordina- tion of the fine and practical arts, instruction in the principles and practice of health and reerea- tien. and, finally, vocation in- struction." - The content and mcthod of high schools had remained largely un- changed, for generations and in- structions did not seem to "stick" when pupils were no longer at school. He criticized in particu- lar the emphasis on memecrization which produced "verbal facility" but not real education.

Sun And Stars Are Very Heavy A Cubic Inch of Sun Would - ------ Weigh 4.8 Pounds, Scientists . Say It we could obtain a cubic inch of material of the sun, of average density we would tind its weight would be 4.8 pounds, much heavier than any material known on the earth, Stars which have a total mass two or thrée times greater' sthan the sun have central densities about 100 times that of the averago solor density. A cubic-inch of ma- terial from the centers of such stars would welgh nearly a quarter of a ton, Dr. Zdenek Kopal, Czech -- astronomer working at Harvard University, reported at the recent meeting of the American Astron. omical Association. When the size amd mass of the stars in the main: sequence group increase beyond this point their central densities. © grow less, §o that in a star fifty times as Lig as the sun its cefitral core has the same density ag' wat- er, This new relationship, it" was pointed out, is in keeping with the consequences of the Bethe atomic power theory of the energy of the stars, in which hydrogen atoms lose some mass that is converted Into heat when four of them unite on a carbon atom nucleus to form helium, ; The Last Straw After a thief had stolen several bottles of the baby's milk off the doorstep, Mr, 'J.

Valuable as they are In minerals and vitamins, vegetables must be included in the things we eat, So states an article in the current issue of the magazine "Health," prepared by the nutrition commit. tee of the Health League of Can- ada. Not all vegetables are equally valuable from a nutritive point ot view, the article points out, Some vegetables supply iron, others do not. We get Vitamin A from one kind of vegetable @! vitamin C from another, Cabbage, spinach and carrots are good sources of vitamin A, 'which is necessary to maintain normal vision and to prevent disease. Green cabbage is much richer in vitamin A than white cabbage. The outer leaves of cabbage are pore valuable than the inner heart. Serve Two Per Day Without vegetables and fruit, people would be deprived of the important 'vitamin C, 'whioh safe. guards us against scurvy, Toma. toes, cabbage, turnips and potatoos-- are chief sources of this vitamin, Orange juice and tomato juice also are good. Cabbage and green leaved .vege- tables wre valuable in their iron. content, needed to prevent anaemia, Dried beans are also good fron pro- ducers. At least two vegetables should be served every day. Among the necessary body ma. terials are: proteins, certain min. "erals and vitamins, Proteins may be obtained from many sources, but not all are of equal value as body building material. Those ob- tained from meat and vegetables are superior to those we get from grain, vegetables and nuts, for ex- « advisable in our regular diet, The average man needs about 70 grams of proteins a day. Experts agree that a large portion of thesp should be drawn from milk, cheese, eggs and meat or fish. The follow- ing table shows the quantity de- rivable from each: 3 glasses of milk ... ...18 grams 1 one-inch cube cf cheese 6 grams 1 egg ... 6 grams 1 normal slice beet . 8 grams Total viii 38 grams The other 32 grams will be ob- tained from others of our dally foods.
