To decide upon what sports the school
will take part in the coming Winter
an athletic assembly was to be held this
afternoon at Dewitt School. There Is q
chance that basket ball, which did not
prove especially popular at the school
the past season, may be dropped In
favor of boxing and wrestling, or it may
be decided to foster all three sports.

Advance in Acoustics.

Through the investigations and dis
coveries of Prof Vern o. Knudsen of
the University of California 1t Is now
possible to grade the acoustic proper
ties of an auditorium by means of an
exact numerical rating. The voice en-
ergy of instructors addressing their
classes was measured by Prof. Knudsen
in rooms of varying sizes while the
speakers were unaware of the tests be-
ing made. 1t was found that this voice
energy varied in individuals from 4
microwatts to 66 microwatts in small
lecture hall, while in a large audito-
rum the range Of energy was from %
microwatts to 142 microwatts. This
loudness of speech is one Of the four
factors used in the formula for deter
mining the acoustical rating for room.
The other factors are reverberation, In
terfering noise and the shape OF the
room. Prof Knudsen also has success
fully measured reverberationS and noise
In his recent experiments.

A STORY FOR HISTORIANS

Some OF the stories that decorate our newspaper
ront pages are going to make interesting reading for
historians century from Unimportant in them
selves they will tell more things about the kind of civil
lzatlon we have than whole volume of scholarly
search.
Take, for instance, the story of of Chcagos re-
cent murders.
"A citizen was driving along street with his family
ne passed another car, cutting in slightly he did
The other driver trailed him for few blocks and when
ne parked, drove alongside and shot him to death.
Now listen to the story of the killing related by
girl who in the second car-the driven by the
murderer.
She was drug store waitress With another girl
and two boy friends she had got in the for JOY
ride The four first consumed quantity of gin Then
they started driving. During the drive the ep
sode that ended in murder. but of the merrymak
ers seemed at all upset by it. They driving and
chicken dinner and drank good deal more gin.
Later that night the party broke up the girls going
nome and the boys going out to commit few assorted
robberies.
Newspaper accounts of this girls confession said
that she told it to the police between gggleS.'
The story doesn't need any comment. 1t points its
own moral-its flock of morals, rather. To the
historian of future generation it will speak volumes
about the kind of civilization this great and prosper
nation erected for itself in the early part of the
twentienth century.
To be sure, it tells Just as much-but, usual,
shall not pay much attention to it.
