First Job May Determine Future

How will Miss High School go

Blindly or carelessly or both, far

Miss Emma Phinney. director Of the

"If more care was given to fitting
the beginner into the right job at 10

more than a man, must have con-
genial work or an atmosphere IN
which she is happy, or the STRAIN

Sensitive instrument To Aid Deaf
The falling of a pin IS usually tax
en- as the smallest sound that the un-
aided ear can detect: we often say
that the silence was such that you
could have heard pin drop. II you
listened to the same sound through q
crystal amplifier you would hear a
crash like that made by the falling
Of a CARLOAD of iron on a hard road.
The amplifier was invented in the
first place to increase the tiny sounds
of wireless biography; but soon it
was seized upon by scientists. who
saw that it would do for the ear what
the microscope does for the eye.
No one had associated sound with
the little creatures of the micro
scropes world. They were so tiny
that it seemed that they could not
make any hearable noise.
Yet. today, you may listen to the
footsteps of a fly as it crawls on the
ceiling. Magnified by the amplifier,
his footsteps are as noisy as those Of
an iron shod dray horse on n cobbled
street! The Rochelle crystal. which
is the most important part of the
amplifier, is so sensitive to sound
waves that it can detect noises 1000

There is another use for this little
instrument. When it has been more

stone deafness is very rare. In most
cases, though the ears have become
insensitive to sounds of ordinary
loudness, they can hear them when
magnified by the crystal amplifier.-
