Sam Hood Has Compiled 13 Outlines Of Courses "Education Is What You Re member After You've Forgot What You've Learned." During the past year approxi mately 475 calls were made to the placement bureau of. the University department of educa tion for teaching positions to be filled by 1937 graduates of the department. Although it was possible to supply only 110 or less than one- fourth of the demand through the registration in the office, all were placed in favorable posi tions and are reported to be making good records. Study Being Made A study is being made now in preparation for placing the 1938 group. Teacher selections will begin in March in the best sys tem. The bureau will try to find the openings and then fit the graduates into the proper place in, so far as possible. The 1938 group will be larger than that pf 1937. .; Any ; person t on the campus who : plans to teach next year should see that his or her name (Continued on last page) By Gladys Best Tripp "Education is what you re member after you've forgot what you've learned," was the definition Sam Hood, University senior, gave the other day. Hood has typed and bound 13 1 outlines of courses he has taken while he has been in college. Over a period of two years he has worked on these volumes. His bibliography was not re stricted to the textbooks for he said he found many of them "hopelessly inadequate." Also the views of several authors tended to make the work more comprehensible. . Title He calls these books "The Common Sense Series," and the motto which is printed on the first page of each is: "There is nothing so uncommon as com mon sense." The books are on varied sub jects. There are two volumes on elementary chemistry, and two on the economic history of the United States. There are also volumes on theme topics on phy sics, social problems, the United States versus crime, advertising, development of vocal music. En glish literature from 1700 to 1890, the national government of the nation (historical) , and the national government oft the nation (executive, legislative and judicial). His last volume which was completed February 6 was on North Carolina history from 1815 to 1860. Several of these are illustrated. Long Working Hours On "United States versus Crime" Hood worked for 50 hours continuously; only taking off time to eat. In gathering material for it he wrote and re ceived letters from Hoover and other leading authorities on the subject. He began to write Fri day, and continued over the week-end, staying up all Satur day night. This was the unusu al however, because Hood wa4 trying to beat a Monday dead line. During this period of con sistent work he lost about eight pounds. Each book has its table of contents and foreword. The foreword to his volume on Eng lish literature is as follows: Foreword "It was not the intent of he editor to present to the reader a full account of England's liter ary history during 1746 to 1889, for such a book would be impossible.
