upper. The upper lip. In its turn. be-
comes more and more hyper sensitive
as you leave the mouth and progress
with a feather or other light object
toward the middle partition OF the
nostrils.
True enough. there are many indi-
vidual exceptions to this. but the fact
remains that studies upon numerous
faces proves this to be the rule.
Thick Lips Inherited.
The redness Of the lips Is due to ths
fact that the internal lining membrane
OF the mouth. palate. and cheeks-the
mucous membrane"-as 1t IL named
rolls on out under the thin layer Of
epidermis, which extends inward to
meet 1t from the skin.

than that, they didn't sound true.

"1IE heroine or hero of many
stories is said to bite the lip
i in chaerin" or ito control the
rising emotions" Not only the
authors. but many readers are con-
vinced that these pretty phrases in
dicate basic, psychological passions.
Tho Investigations Of Prof. Jules lie
Bon, however, do not lend support to
these views. His researches show
that thin. fine lips are often associ-
sted by biting them.
Moreover. a study Of the habit gives
evidence that 1t is more often a fem
inire than a masculine trait. When
present in men, it seems to accom-
pnny various other womanly attri-
butes, such ns blushing. supersen-
! sitiveness. high-strung emotionalisn,
and want OF power with regard to
sustained endurance.
Lip Biting Habit.

~ EVERAL distinct plans for the
- training of vocational teachers
~ as they have been developed in
different parts of the country
are herein outlined.
The chief qualifications requisite
for success in the teacher OF voCa-
tional subjects are: D Character.
personality; CD mastery Of the pro-
cesses-the technic of the occupa ton
for which the student is to be pre-
pared. and CD teaching ability,
which includes some unders, andins
ment and the learning and teaching
processes, combined with skill in the
actual imparting of knowledge and in
the direction and guidance OF the de-
velopment Of the individual.
to the Individual to acquire character
and personality Is to be born with a
reasonable endowment. as original
equipment, and then to develop and
perfect it by years of patient and
strenuous self-discipline. An excel
lent way to demonstrate ability to
lead, direct. and control others is
successfully to control ones self and
make the most OF ones own oppor-
tunities.
Serve As Wage Garner.
VI II StellS W SViiCla any iSTttu
that the only practicable way to OBJ
tain the second qualification-the
necessary knowledge of the vocation
is to serve for a time as an actual
wage-earner in II. This means en-
trance on the part of the individual
at a fairly early age, the serving or
a period of apprenticeship, followed
by period as finished worker or
iourneyman long enough to achieve
actual success in the vocation. This
program necessarily brings the in
diyidual to minimum stage OF ma
turity and involves the relinquish-
ment OF opportunities for develop
ment or training in other directions.
go The third of the essential ele-
Misunderstanding ability-can be ac-
quired efficiently In only two ways:
(a) BY years of actual teaching ex-
perience under competent and sym
pathetic supervision. or CD by
specific training.
Generally speaking. the efforts to
prepare teachers may be classified
conveniently into three groups, ac-
cording to the status OF candidates

tutes. Tho most prominent Of these
are the conferences organized and
conducted by the State departments
setts. New York. Indiana. and Wis

conference is attended by superin-
tendents. directors, and teachers
from all parts of the Staate. New
York State is divided into districts,
and conferences are held in each
district.
growing In Importance and useful
ness, and increasing attention Is
given to the needs Of teachers and
prospective teachers of vocational
subjects.
Two Objects Sought.
The student in vocational educa-
tion should be able to distinguish at
least two aims or objects that may
be sought through attendance at a
summer school: % Mastery of some
detail. whether Of theory or practice,
which is small enough to be MASTER
ton of point of view. which should
enable one to grasp the significance
of certain of the main features Of
the new education. and to direct
ones further reading and study more
effectively and intelligently.
C0 Correspondence courses. The
extension director of the University
of Wisconsin has recently announc-
ed correspondence courses in the
manual arts and vocational educa-
ton, the primary aim OF which Is
ito enable those In teaching positions
to extend their general knowledge Of
the subject matter and teaching
methods. and to give them breadth
of view through a study of the
broader aspects Of their professional
work"
