(U.R) The inexperienced in-experienced teacher who wants to attain greater interest in her Spanish classes new Can obtain help from the leading authorities in Texas on the language. A booklet titled "Suggested Course of Study in Spanish" for Texas high schools, it is available to teachers in other states through tie U. S. Education Department. The 200-page bulletin not only is the product of numerous workshops work-shops between Texas Spanish authorities, but alsd assisting in its preparation were representatives representa-tives of the U. S. Education Department De-partment and the Office of the Co-Ordinator of- Inter-Amcrican Affairs. There are three general objectives objec-tives of the bulletin: 1., To teach students to use Spanish intelligently as a means of communication. 2. To help students become acquainted ac-quainted with and develop an appreciation for the Latin-Americans Latin-Americans as a means of developing develop-ing American solidarity. 3. To develop a knowledge of Spanish and of its background as the key to better understanding understand-ing of Spanish and Latin-American culture. To many students, Spanish is just "another course" to be taken in high school, says Miss Myrtle Tanner of the State Education Department. "In the bulletin we have tried to show students the beneficial side of Spanish to give them a keener understanding of the lan- onapo nnrt tn rhallpnpr thfir rif isfiir n knnw mm-P ahont it" said Rijss Tanner, Nnt niliv rincs tho hnllHin con tain a teaching outline, but it has a collection of Latin-American legends, descriptions of renowned folk dances, short plays, poems Snd songs. To supplement these there is a list of additional material ma-terial - from which the teacher may secure interesting class subjects. sub-jects. "Rather than comparisons, declensions de-clensions and congugations, we've outlined a course to teach Spanish through conversation about everyday topics which are typical to Anglo and Latin Americans," Miss Tanner explained. About 500 Texas high schools offer Spanish courses, while approximately ap-proximately 350 school systems teach the language from the third through the eighth grades. Much credit for the new publication public-ation goes' to Miss Marguerite T.

Tropic Island Replicas Aided Science in War PITTSBURGH (ufi) The war against the Japanese was fought on tropical islands In Pittsburgh as well as the Pacific. Hundreds of tiny tropical is landsmoss, rotting vegetation. bacteria, steaming jungle heat and all were created Under glass by Dr. Peter Gray, biologist at the University of Pittsburgh, With Dr. Gray's tiny replicas of the unusual conditions of Pacific islands at their fingertips. West inghouse Electric Corp. scientists were able to develop electrical equipment that would function in a tropical climate. Simulated Climates Radar, radio equipment, switchboards, switch-boards, transformers and other apparatus that went to the Pacific Pa-cific war theater were made to stand up under assaults by fungi and bacteria, extremes of temperature tem-perature and humidity, all simulated simu-lated in the artificial islands. In explaining how the islands were developed, Dr. Gray said that room temperature was maintained main-tained at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The bottom of each jar was covered cov-ered with moss and kept saturated satur-ated with water to attain a humidity hu-midity fluctuating between 60 and 80 per cent. Then, small chunks of bread were placed atop the moss and an airtight lid was affixed to the jar. The mold that soon formed on the bread was infected with other types of organic growth and the 'gardens" were allowed to germinate. Tested aterials Tally After fungi, bacteria, mites and other organisms common to that hot, humid atmosphere reached a robust stage,' Dr. . Gray placed samples of equipment in the jars. Daily examinations followed, and detailed records of the damage occurring to each sample of material ma-terial were kept. Since the hostile climates are represented at their exaggerated worst in the "junior hothouses," a month on one of Dr. Gray's artificial islands is estimated to equal six months to a year in the Panama Canal Zone. Results of the tests have been invaluable to the armed forces in determining which materials and protective coverings would stand off the ravages of the tropics. Scientists found that varnishes of the phenolformaldehyde group possessed great resistance to attack at-tack by fungi and bacteria.
