Professor Coleman to Present Aims, Scope, and Results of Language Study
Beautiful Trails, Extensive Views Will Make Mountain Excursion Memorable Feature of Summer; Tickets Now on Sale at Associated Students’ Store
Here is a sure antidote for that insidious mid-summer boredom which is so hard to resist at this time of the year. If you have to BOVARD AUDITORIl_J 1VI P11H'h yourself continually in order to ke^p awake through a lecture,
and find your mind wandering off into shady nooks and mountain trails thick-carpeted with pine needles, instead of learning why is the Gulf Stream or in what year the War of 1812 occurred, then it is absolutely essential for your own salvation that you.get into your hiking clothes next Saturday and go along on the annual summer session picnic to Mt. Lo,we. With John Muir we say: “Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees, the winds will blow their own

Will Show Findings of Impor tance to Educators Interested In Modern Languages
Every teacher, supervisor, or principal, who in any way comes in contact with the teaching of modern foreign languages, will be vitally interested in the visit of Professor Algernon Coleman, special investigator of the Modern Foreign Language Study, to the University of Southern California this week. Professor Coleman who speaks under the auspices of the American Council of Education, will present the aims, scope, and present results of the study throughout the United States. His findings are of importance not only to teachers of language, but especially to supervisors, principals, as well as to those wrho, for any reason, may be opposed to the teaching of languages.
It is expected that arrangements can be made to have Professor Coleman speak at ten o’clock on Thursday morning. In order to accomodate the large number who will wish to hear him, the meeting will be held in the auditorium. Students of the Summer Session are urged to extend an invitation to their friends to hear Professor Coleman.

Many thousands of tourists each year make the ascent in order to enjoy its many varied scenes of beauty and its rugged grandeur. The Tavern is the center of amusement. Here are found a ballroom, billiard-room, dining-room, tennis courts and other attractions. Radiating from the Tavern in all directions are a number of beautiful well-laid out trails, which entice the hiker through ft fairyland of mountain beauty.
CAN HIKE OR RIDE PONY
The Tavern is twelve hundred and thirty feet below the summit of the mountain, which is reached by a well-worn trail. For those who do not desire the strenuous execise of hiking, a pony train, in charge of a competent guide, is provided, making regular trips from the Tavern to the Summit in about two and one-half hours.

Millinery Teachers to Receive Training in Actual Work of Hat Making
LYON TO BE INSTRUCTOR
DR. CLARENCE M. CASE IN LECTURE COURSE
U. S. C. Ethnologist Gives Series of Six at Pacific Palisades
Author of ‘Modern Millinery’ will Use Exclusive Charts in Giving Course
Teachers of home economics and domestic science and head milliners are the two groups for whom a Post-Summer-Session course in Millinery-Trade Design ha-s been planned and scheduled at Metropolitan College, University of Southern California, both as to time and content.
Vocational teachers who are called upon to teach millinery often find themselves handicapped because of their lack of actual hat-making experience, and these will find in this college course instruction in preparing, making, copying, trimming, and designing modern headgear.
Head milliners, or those who wish to become head milliners, will find this concentrated, intensive course planned to supply them with methods of teaching millinery which will aid them in supervising the worq of their subordinates or asssistants.
BY MISS HESTER LYON
Scheduled to be held during the summer vacation season, beginning August 10, five afternoons a week from 2 P. M. to 3:10 P. M., this course in Millinery, coordinating methods of leaching ad trade design, is to be given by Hester B. Lyon, former instructor at Pratt Institute, New York City, and author of “Modern Millinery,” used as a text throughout the country, at Metopolitan College, U. S.
FOLK DANCE WORK IS SUBJECT FOR MISS BURCHENAL
Chairman of American Folk Society and U. S. C. Summer Faculty Member to Speak
DANCES WILL BE GIVEN
Dr. Alice Goetz and Miss Burch-enal Have Friendship of Long Standing
Miss Elizabeth Burchenal, who is Chairman of the American Folk Dance Society, and a member of the Summer Session faculty of the University of Southern California, giving advanced courses in Folk Dancing under the department of Physical Education, will give a lecture in the regular Thursday lecture series in H. 200 at 4 o’clock, on Thursday, July 16. Her subject will be, “Adventures in Folk Dance Collecting,” and the lecture will be followed by a demonstration of oik dancing. This lecture should be very interesting not only to the Physical Education students, but to all summer students.
Dr. Alice A. Goetz of the reguiar faculty has been acquainted with Miss Burchenal for a long time, and speaks very highly of her. The acquaintance and friendship began in the summer of 1905, when these two fenced alone in an exhibition of advanced fencing in the gymnasium at Harvard University. After that, they met again at the Chalif School of Russian Dancing in New York, and at various other places during the summer sessions. Dr. Goetz and Miss BurchenaJ both are, graduates of the Sargent Normal School of Physical Education.

Miss Burchenal’s work is characterized by her enthusiasm and love for
Students Lose Everything From Time To Toothpicks
Furs, Wrenches, Vanities are Among Articles Lost in Summer Session but Unclaimed by Owners at Superintendent’s Office; No Books are Lost
That women lose more articles than men, and that Summer Session students are as careless at misplacing their belongings as those in the regular session, seem to be justifiable conclusions from the stock in trade accumulating in the Lost and Found department of the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, Mr. Curtis F. Huse. Students lose everything from second-hand toothpicks to sets of furs, and, while the latter are generally claimed, there are at present furs on hands which have been lost in the Summer Session but not yet called for by their owrners.
Although most of the articles are feminine in nature, a Ford automobile wrench recently acquired by the department seems to point to masculine forgetfulness. The person claiming this wrench
"will be asked to give a five-minute demonstration of strong language to prove that he has really used the implement.
CLING TO BOOKS While they lose other things as frequently as students during the other part of the school year, the members of the Summer Session student body do not, those in the office say, misplace their textbooks. As for the regular session student, a textbook on the river's brim a measley textbook is to him and nothing more, but not so with the members of the U. S. C. Summer Session. The treas-use chests of knowledge acquired so dearly at the students store must be kept safe from hazard; and kept safe they are. If you lose a book this summer, know that you are a freak of na-(CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO)

Sociology Journal Offers
Important Contributions
M. C. Elmer, Charles Ellwood, and Ellsworth Fans Appear in U. S.
C. Department Publication; Changing Child Behavior by Direct Method Discussed by Clinic Experts
“Changing the Child’s Behavior by Direct Methods” is one of the most important articles in the July-August issue of the Journal of Applied Sociology which is just off the press. It is written by Dr. Phyllis Blanchard and Dr. Richard H. Paynter, two eminent psychologists, who have based their findings upon studies made in Los Angeles wrhile members of the staff of the Child Guidance clinic last year. Professor Charles A. EUw'ood who was a member of the Suuumer Session faculty at U. S. C. a year ago, discusses the increasing role which the group is playing in society. He points out the danger of group egoism and excessive group patriotism.
Dr. M. C. Elmer, Visiting Professor in Sociology this summer, writes on, “The Random Sample,” and indicates some weaknesses in the use of sampling as statistical measure. Dr. Ellsworth Fans of the University of Chicago, an° outstanding social psychologist of the country, analyzes “The Nature of Social Attitudes” and throw s new light upon this basic phase of human life. In an article entitled, “Child Labor Research,” Mr. Raymond G. Fuller of Boston explains the recent reaction against the proposed child labor amendment to the Constitution, and urges that all friends of the child study the facts regarding child labor in a more fundamental way than they have done heretofore. He feels that in the past there has been too little of research and too much propaganda regarding child labor.

TWO CORRECTIONS
The Trojan wishes to make two corrections in the article printed Friday dealing with visiting Professor J. Duncan Spaeth of Princeton and Dr. James Main Dixon, head of the Comparative Literature department. The name of John Duncan, Dt. Spaeth’s grandfather, was inadvertently printed as James Duncan, while the Duke of Ar-gyle was the classmate of Dr. Dixon's father, and not, as the article stated, of Dr. Duncan’s.
