NEARING MAY ACCEPT
OHIO PROFESSORSHIP
Friends Believe He Prefers To-
ledo University Above a
Dozen Other Schools.

Several universities and colleges have
sought the services, as a. professor, Of
Dr. Scott Nearing, recently dropped from
the faculty Of the Wharton school by
the trustees of the University Of Penn
sylvania. with the announcement yes
terday Of the offer made to the economist
by Toledo University of Toledo. o., to
become dean OF the College Of Arts and
Sciences, and professor of social science
II was learned that Doctor Nearing had
received invitations from probably a
dozen institutions In different parts Of
the country to join their faculties for
the same reason officials OF the Toledo
University advanced.
Toledo men said that the deposed pro-
fessor would be of invaluable service,
they believed to that institution, because
of his rich experience and extensive study
into the sociological subjects which the
country considers OF such great impor-
tance today. Many friends of Doctor
Nearing believe that he will accept the
offer of the Ohio University. They as
sert that the offer is tempting In the ex-
treme for a man bent upon such work as
Doctor Nearing has been so deeply In
terested in. 3
DR.. Clyde L. King, assistant professor
of political science In the Wharton
School and close friend of the former
professor, said:
"The position offers promising field
for young man. Toledo University Is
a municipal institution, and the day OF
such Institutions is coming rapidly. Should
Doctor Nearing accept the offer he would
be in a good university with promising
future. Next to Cleveland, Toledo affords
the best opportunity for the economic and
sociological research work in which Doc
tor Nearing Is engaged"
Governor Brumbaugh has been asked
by the United Mine Workers of America
Local Union No. 1862, of Jykens Pa, to
investigate the reasons for Doctor Near
ings dismissal from the faculty of the
Wharton School.

cups are of various sizes and therefore
a "cupful" is no more specific than
handful of anything.
Another failing of some ambitious
housekeepers, she says, Is to have red hot
ovens. This bakes the bread quickly on
the outside and makes good crust, but
the interior is dangerous.
Miss Wessling advocates the use or
scales for measuring, and contends that
any standard recipe will produce good
bread. provided care is taken in measur-
