N. H. Black '96, assistant professor of education, will deliver an address before the Eastern Association of Physics Teachers at Jefferson Physical Laboratory Saturday morning in connection with the annual meeting which is being held here this year. Two other members of the University faculty will also give talks, F. H. Crawford, assistant professor of physics, and F. V. Hunt, instructor in physics.

The meeting will open at 9.30 o'clock with a business meeting, at which the annual reports of the Secretary and the Treasurer will be submitted. Following the business meeting L. A. Howard, vice-president of the organization and member of the faculty of the East Boston High School, will deliver the annual address.

He will be followed by Professor Black, who will speak on "The Teaching of Science in European Secondary Schools". Professor Crawford will next address the teachers on "Some Recent Advances Made in Physics During the Last Ten Years." At noon an illustrated lecture in Cruft laboratory covering certain other developments in physics will be given by Mr. Hunt. This will be followed by a luncheon at Dunster House at 2 o'clock.

At 3 o'clock Professor Black will give a demonstration and description of apparatus seen in foreign schools. At the conclusion of this, an opportunity will be furnished for the members of the association to inspect some of the interesting features of the new research Laboratory, such as the 100,000 volt storage battery, Professor Lyman's ultra-violet vacuum spectograph, Professor Duane's X-ray spectograph, and Professor Bridgman's high pressure apparatus.
