P.- October 22, 1927 25 WINNETKA TALK Public Service Co. Holds Night Classes on Utility Subjects Instruction of employees in subjects relevant to public utility industries started last week in night classes at the Evanston office of the Public Ser- vice company of Northern Illinois with nearly 150 enrolled. Courses in the economics of the public utility in- dustry, the fundamental electrical principles and single-phase meter, and effective speaking are the three being offered to the employees by the com- pany through the Central Station in- stitute. The aim of the course, explains T. G. Howard, personnel director, is to give employees understandable, non-tech- nical information about their company and to inform them of the industry and its operation. The courses are valuable in that the employees receive information which they may pass on to outsiders, he explains. Paul McCleur, formerly at the Uni- versity of Illinois, is instructing the class in economics of the public utility industry. Ninety are enrolled in the course which meets each Monday night and will continue for twelve lectures. Stress is particularly laid on the features peculiar to public utilities. Material included is the historical de- velopment of the utility industries, or- ganization, legal status, regulatory bodies, ownership, industrial and pub- lic relations. Twenty meter-department employees are taking the Tuesday night course on fundamental electrical principles and single phase meter. Subjects studied are fundamental electrical units, generator action, motor action, construction and operation of single phase meter, rations and constants, ad- justments and maintenance. J. S. Strong is instructing the course. Effective speaking is being taught to thirty-five employees in a class meet- ing each Tuesday evening. A. E. Selcer is the instructor. Courses given at the Evanston branch are attended by public utility employees from Waukegan, Park Ridee, Highland Park and Evanston. Additional courses given in the city by the Central Station institute num- ber more than twenty-five and have been conducted for at least ten vears. N. U.

The income from this trust fund is now available and re- search in planetary radiation will be begun at Northwestern university at once bv F. D. Urie, director of the El- gin Observatory. This announcement was made todav by Philip M. S. Fox. professor of astronomy and director of the Dearborn Observatory at North- western. Mr. Camp, who died two years ago, had long been interested in the possi- bility of life on the planets, and it was his original intention to leave a trust fund income from which was to be used exclusively for research into the inhabitabilitv of the planets. He decid- ed later, however, to broaden the field to include all work in planetary re- search.
