made special study of problems

mic development of under-deve-
loped countries at the University

New York Heulth
Dept. Tells Symptoms
Asiutic Flu

A release issued by the New
York Department Of Health states
that the symptoms of Asiatic flu
are the same as most strains of
influenza and, therefore, it can
only be diagnosed by laboratory
tests, the results of which take a
week to determine.
The symptoms are sore throat,
aching back and legs, fever, cough
weakness and aching muscles.
The temperature usually rises to
l01 or 102 and fever lasts for be-
tween twenty-four and forty-eight
hours. In more serious cases, the
temperature may rise to 1O3 or
104. Asiatic flu is transmitted by
contact.
Eight cases are reported in
New York City, thus far.

SuIlIIlGI gle all LII Il11o yea
it is believed all of the students
gained a great deal of theory and
practical information which Will
make them better teachers in the
classrooms of the public schools
in the Virgin Islands for the COM
ing and future years.
Two courses that proved to be
extremely valuable to the teach
ers attending the summer session
this year were: the Course IN
Audio-Visu methods in teach
ing, and speech. Teachers learned
how to make effective use Of in
expensive materials that can be
easily found in the respective
communities of the three islands.
They learned how to integrate the
audio-Visual aids in teaching the
lesson, which would bring it more
forceful to h e pupils. They
learned how to make the lesson
plans with the specific detectives
and follow-up. In that manner
they were able to make use of
their imagination and art.
Pronunciation and enunciatlon
of words were stressed, because
the need was so apparent. They
learned how to carry out the
theories, types of discussions,
such as: round table, forum, sym
postum and panel.
The results shown this week
should be very satisfactory and
complimentary to the teacher.
The improvement noted in speech
on the whole is marked. Hope has
been expressed that these will be
carried over into the classroomS
from the first grade upward.
Teachers who took the course
have expressed the hope for
continuation of the course in
speech, particularly, because Of
the benefits gained by everyone.
DR.. Wilcomb Washburn gave a
course in political science. The
teachers got a great deal Of know
ledge out of it. Mrs. Washburn
gave a course in American his
tory and Prof. Hugo Bornn gave
two courses in Music.
The students seemed to have
gotten a great deal out of the
course in music also. They were
taught how to conduct choral or
group singing in the classroom,
also simple Piano playing for the
classroom.

Hampton Institute Summer Experimental

Intensified Forming
Can Increase Curib.
Aqricul. Production

PORT OF SPAIN : Agricultu-
raj production in the Caribbean
area can be substantially in
creased with the intensifcation of
farming, DR.. C. Y. Sheppard,
Executive Secretary (Agricultu-
raj Economics) on the staff of the
Caribbean Commission, told the
Topographic Conference meeting
recently.
In an optimistic fve-minute
talk delivered at the invitation of
the conference DR.. Sheppard said
that he believed that there was
great hope for the intensifcation
of agriculture in the area and took
sugar as an example of what had
been done to increase production
without increasing the area under
cultivation.
Sugar was introduced into Bar
bados about 1910, DR.. Sheppard
said, and before the end of that
century the island was wholly de-
voted to that one crop. During
the 18th century" he continued,
Barbados was regarded as the
brightest jewel in the British
Crown largely because of its pro-
duction of sugar which in those
days, was less than 10000 tons
per annum. This year Barbados
will turn out something like
100000 tons of sugar.
81 know of no other crop in
the tropics which has been Guilt
waited continuously for three cen
turtles without rotation of which
it can be said that the output is
many times what it was when
the soil was first cultivated"
The increase in West Indian
sugar production, most of which
has been realized in the past so
years, was largely the result of
research by the producers, re-
search centers and sugar ma
chinery manufacturers, and af-
forded an example which might
be followed with advantage by
other industries.
The example had in fact been
followed by the cocoa industry.
When Trinidad cocoa was in its
heyday some forty years ago, pro-
duction was of the order of $50
lbs. of dry beans per acre. AS a
result of research work conducted
by the Imperial College of Tropi-
cal Agriculture and other institu-
tons, yields as high as one ton
an acre have been attained and
1000 lbs. per acre could be re-
garded as a reasonable expecta-
ton from clonal cocoa cultivated
on modern lines There iS the
