Early printing presses were copied from wine and cider presses, the speaker declared. The first press consisted of a heavy wooden frame built into the ceiling. This frame supported a screw mechanism which pressed the paper on to the type.

Tickets go on sale today at the cashier’s window in the Student Union bookstore for the special excursion that is generally regarded as the most popular of the Summer Session, the trip tio Santa Catalina island, it was announced yesterday by K. K. Stonier, manager of summer tours.
The trip will be made by Trojan summer students next weekend, July 20, at a reduced rate for the round-trip from Wilmington. Reservations must be made in advance, Stonier says.
Sailing time for the S. S. Catalina. which leaves from the terminal in Wilmington, is 10 a.m., and the ship is scheduled to arrive at the island about noon. The trip is> planned primarily as a one-day excursion, with the return trip starting from Avalon in the afternoon, but those who wish may stay on the isl;fnd overnight, Stonier explained.
As in several previous summers The type designed by Nicholas • there will be two trips to Catalina

There are several reasons why educational administrators must continue the pursuit of a good means of merit recognition of teachers, he said.
Some schools attempt to pay

All set for the big ones!
This was the cry of Coach H. W. Anderson, of the Physical Education department, who will lead a party of Trojan Summer Session students bound for Catalina and environs on a deep sea fishing trip tomorrow morning.
But they had better get set for the wee ones, too—wee hours, for the group will leave the Physical Education building at 3 o'clock in the morning. Anderson declared.
There is an opportunity for two more fishermen to make the trip, Anderson said, as two tickets were turned back. These may be purchased at the cashier’s window in the bookstore of the Student Union building.
The boat will leave the Cabrillo beach dock, located at 26th and Pacific avenue, in San Pedro, at 4 a.m.. Anderson said, and transportation is available for those who sign up on the sheet located in room 107 of the Physical Education office.
Those driving their own cars should meet with the rest of the party in front of the Physical Education building and proceed from there.

Lucky Students Set Sail Tomorrow In L A Harbor
Fifty Summer Session students who hot footed it' to the student publications office last Tuesday and were lucky enough to get their names down on the reservation sheet will meet at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the First Street landing in San Pedro to embark on a tour of Los Angeles harbor.
K. K. Stonier, manager of summer tours, emphasizes, especially to the 50 who are making the trip, that the boat is docked at the First Street landing in San Pedro and that the First Street landing in San Pedro is the spot from which the party will leave for the tour.
Reservations for the trip, which will give the students an intimate glimpse of the beautiful yachts, proud liners, trim tankers, and movie-set sailing vessels in the Los Angeles harbor, were filled within two hours after the announcement appeared in last Tuesday's paper.
Authoritative facts regarding the various features of the harbor, such as the fishing fleets, the outer harbor used as a base by the United States fleet, the industrial plants, a history of the harbor, and a description of its present importance will be dispensed by a guide.
The trip will be conducted under the auspices of the Los Angeles harbor commission.
Persons driving to tne dock should allow for an hour’s drive from Los Angeles, Stonier advises, and those who intend to go by street car should allow an hour and a half. The San Pedro train leaves the 6th and Main street station at frequent intervals, Stonier says

War Is
Economic
Revolution
Speaker Says Conflict Will Force on World Government Control
This war is not just a power grab which will only result in the killing and maiming of men. This war is an economic revolution. It is an attempt to force upon the world a doctrine of government-controlled I economics. Thus Dr. J. Anton de Hass, visiting professor from Harvard university, analyzed World War II in his address, “The Effect of | the War upon the United States,”
I delivered to summer session students at the second general assem-! bly held Tuesday.
Dr. de Haas took little time to rudely shake from their lethargy those whose comfortable philosophy had let them be lulled to sleep on two assumptions, namely, that Hitler cannot win the war, and. that all we need to do is mind our own business and the world events can-j not affect us.
“Those events have already upset this type of chinking. The United States has lost 400 million dollars in European exports already and we can be sure that, from now on, if we deal with European countries it will be by the rules of Adolph Hitler. Also, control of Western Europe means control of the colonies. This does not mean conquest, necessarily, but it means putting men into important positions who are favorable to the European regime,” i stated Dr. de Haas.
“When Hitler came into power in 1933, he initiated two phases of a program pointing toward conquest. First', he regimented the economic liCe of Germany. Secord. he began building on a war time economy. in which cost plays no part.
“By these two phases of the program. his government became a well organized centralized trading agency which did not have to consider the factor of cost. It bartered and, in bartering, brought pressure to bear on the smaller Balkan countries and, in a lesser degree, on some South American governments.
“These facts make this war an economic revolution. If Germany, Japan, and Italy control the Dutch East Indies and some of the British possessions, why should they share essential rubber and tin with potential enemies? ,
“If these important products are traded, it will be by barter and this will mean that the W billion dollars in gold so carefully stored in the hills of Kentucky will be worthless.” continued Dr. de Haas.
The speaker went on to explain that if we should wish to barter under such circumstances, we should have to organize a central trading agency to handle it. Already such an agency, on a Pan-American basis, has been suggested. Thus we are having the German system forced upon us regardless of our desires," he stated.
On the other hand, what will happen if Great Britain should win? This possibility as well as that of a Continued on Page Three
Administration Students To Gather
All students working for either elementary or secondary school administrative credentials who plan to meet their field work requirement during the next school year are requested to a:tend a meeting in room 206 Administration building at 3 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, July 22 and 23. At this meeting full explanation will be made of the field work requirement and directions will be provided for registration by Dr. Melbo and Dr. Weersing.
Educational Aptitude Test ’ Set for Today
Attention was today called to the fact that an educational aptitude test is required of all prospective teachers by Dr. E. E. Wagner, assistant to the dean of the School of Education, who is in charge of administering the tests.
Three classes of students are required to take the test, Dr. Wagner said. The first is all students petitioning regarding any phase of the Directed Teaching program. The second is concerned with all students completing requirements at this time for any type of teaching credentials. The third applies to all candidates for the M.S. degree in Education who were not admitted to candidacy on or before September, 1939.
The next Aptitude test is scheduled as follows: Today—Room 302, Law building. 1:30 p.m. Tomorrow —Room 302, Law building, 8:15 a.m.
Aptitude tests are scheduled several times during each term, Dr. Wagner said, and at least one other test will be given during this summer. Students required to take this test are urged to take it as early in their program as is possible. A fee of $3.00, payable in the Comptroller’s office, is required of each students.
