LEANED TO NEWSPAPER WORK
Andrew carnege's Early Ambition
Was to Be Great Editor-Burns
Resisted Lure of journalism.

Andrew Carnegie in his early days
had an ambition to enter the newspa-
per business, but when he failed to OBJ
tain position on the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. he turned his talents In other
directions and finally became Americas
leading iron and steel manufacturer.
Robert Burns, on the other hand
spurned efforts to induce him to go in
70 Journalism and thus made the way
clear for his becoming the most be-
loved Of Scottish bards. These points
were brought out in an address given
by William VIII, president of the Lon
don Burns club.
The first attempt to get Burns in the
newspaper line was when Peter Stuart
OF the London Morning Post started the
Star. Burns declined to give active
assistance in turning out the paper, al
though he occasionally contributed ar
dcles. Later James Perry, proprietor
OF the London Morning Chronicle, Of
rered Burns f5 week to join the staff.
Burns refused the offer on the plea
that his duties as an excise officer
would prevent him from attending TO
the work. Nothing ever resulted. Ell
tner, from the suggestions that Burns
write three-act comic opera.

probation Of the pitch, intensity and
duration Of sounds, and of rhythm,
which must be acquired by the musi-
clan In the study of his art, are also
necessary to the doctor, who Is obliged
to take note Of these same sound quail
tiles In making many of his diagnoses.
The objective signs Of disease, DR..
zueblin points out, are closely related
to acoustic phenomena, such as con-
ductivity, quality. tonality, pitch, In
tensity, duration and rhythm. The
conductivity Of sound, for instance, is
quite different In a normal lung from
one where there is fluid between the
lung and the chest wall. The quality
and tonality Of sounds produced within
the lungs or heart or transmitted
through the abdominal viscera, are
essential for the diagnostician. The
better the musical training, the sharper
the personal perception of the student,
the more he will excel his competitors.

Lybrand. of Riverside, has just re-
ceived an appointment to the coveted
position from the State Commission
for the Blind. Her appointment is the
triumph OF a afive-year struggle
against universities, during which she
successfully completed course at the
State Normal School at Trenton, the
only blind student ever admitted to
that institution.
Miss Lybrand was blinded several
years ago in fireworks explosion.
She had previously set her heart on
entering the profession of teaching.
When physicians told her she would
never be able to see again she refused
to give up the idea and patiently set to
work to learn the best methods of
teaching for the blind. She graduated
from the School for the Blind at Over
brook, Pa, in 1915, and entered the
State Normal School the same year
where she competed with her more
fortunate classmates with wonderful
Akill. During the last month she to- k

Commission, and passed with high
honors. She has been appointed to
the district between Trenton and New
Brunswick to introduce the States
