Glazner's work last year might
lead to the impression that he was

had salary differences and missed
much of the spring training in
1922 may have accounted for his
lapse. Carlson, who has been
denied the privilege Of returning to
the spit ball, and Hamilton, a hard

Not Too Poor For Good Schools

The Carnegie Foundation for the
Advance Of Teaching reports that, in
It's opinion, public schools must be
limited in number and scope because
Of gradually increasing tax burdens.
The report advises the elimination Of
those whose intellectual endowment is
in-suited for formal study and a re-
stricted curriculum.
The National Educational Associa-
tion meets the charge that the Nation
is now, or is likely in the future, to
spend too much" on education, with
facts, in the face Of which, it contends,
argument is hardly necessary.
First asking these questions: rs
there justification for the belief that
the cost Of public schools is enor-
nous and is sorely taxing the ability
Of the American people TO support
them? DO figures as 10 the cost Of edu-
cation and the ability Of the Nation
TO pay for education support this at
titudef"
The Nation in 1920 spent s17 FOR
Iluxuries for every dollar that IL spent
Tor education.
1T spent $3.50 for other forms Of
public service for every dollar il
spent for public, elementary and sec
ondary schools
[ The cost Of all public and second
airy schools in 1920 was four-tenths
.of 1 per cent Of the Nations wealth.
The cost Of all such schools in 1920
was less than Z per cent Of the amount
of money lying in savings accounts Of
the banks Of the Nation In 1921, a
year Of acute business depression.

transposing this equation the imped
ance is equal to the applied voltage
divided by the current. The imped-
ance of vacuum tube plate circuit,
internally between the filament and
the plate, when the grid is at zero
potential, is an important constant of
a vacuum tube and is called the in
ternal plate impedance.
The internal grid impedance of a
vacuum tube used in a radio set as
detector determines the impedance
of the telephones that will give best
results when connected in the plate
circuit of that particular tube.
1t IS then not only the resistance Of
a pair of telephones, but also the III
ductance and the distributed capacity
of the winding that cause the maxi
mum current to flow in the telephones
for given change in grid potential.
The internal plate impedance of a
vacuum tube varies only slightly with.
different plate voltage 1t is more an
Inherent characteristic of the tube
which is determined by the design.

VICTORY OVER MILD DISEASE
French Physician Announces Dis
covery of Serum Which Has Good
Effect on the Victim Of Measles.

A protective serum against
measles has been discovered by
Doctor Merry, director Of the Emile
lola Hospital for Children at
Medan, France. This serum is
taken from the blood Of children
who have just recovered from the
disease, and incubation with it
seems to afford certain though
probably only temporary immunity
against contagion, The method is
based on the results Of the re-
searches of Charles Nicolle, di-
rector of the Pasteur institute in
Tunis, who has shown that by the
injection of the serum of GONZALES
cents children as well as adults can
be protected against an outbreak
of measles DIR. Merry had occasion
to keep within bounds by this meth
cd two epidemics. 1t was shown
that an injection made at the be-
ginning Of the incubation time-the
time elapsed between the infection
and the breaking out Of the disease
was followed by mild develop
