Have Your Eyes Examined Today New Wilmington, (U.R) The college graduate who wants to be a good high school teacher needs more than just "brains and charm" to succeed, according to authorities at Westminster college. One more qualification, school heads believe is necessary "a clear, pleasant penetrating voice." "An English teacher must be able to read poetry in such a way that a high school student Will really like it," according to Dr. Mary Purdy, English department head.

"The voice is a very important part of the teaching equipment." As a result, all Westminster students majoring in English and expecting to teach in high schools are required to have records made of their voices so that they can read poetry and prose with more skill. Other departments having major students who expect to teach, also are expected to provide voice-criticism for future high school teachers.
