It will be nice today after all. It won't be so bad to walk the other mile of the way. Now. Isn't this nice; I'd Just decided I could walk a short distance when another car, this time a rattly Ford—but you must admit a Ford Is better than walking—stops rigid at my side, so to speak. Every-thing Is going fine. We've even reached Barber's. Yes. here Is another early bird trudging to his daily studies, so that he may catch the

!worm some other day. He Is picked up and is duly grateful, when—Bang. Yes, It's a blowout. If I don't have the worst luck. I sometimes think that perhaps It would be better If I used my own locomotive power the entire distance, than to get In and

I out of vehicles so often.

Oh. here is one of the Juniors that used their automobiles to take the others on the sneak. He can afford to be nice to a sophomore (or freshman) today, after all the fun he had

It would be raining this morning! Now I'll have to go the long way round; the short cuts are all too muddy. I hope I get at least one ride. I'm Just about too early, though, because I’ve an eight o'clock class. That wouldn't make much difference If the ones that drove cars started at 7:80. but they don't; they can start at ten minutes of eight and make it easily. Oh. well. I might as well get started.

It isn't raining as much as It was. Perhaps It will quit before I go very far. Maybe I'm not so early alter all—here comes a car. Aw, It went right on by. It must have been somebody who works at the refinery, for If It had been someone who lived on the Hill they would have picked up a poor college student .

I hear a car that is coming pretty fast—It probably won’t stop. But It has. Good. Maybe I won't have to walk to school after all—at least all the way. Say this is a nice car. I

wouldn't mind having one to drive to school. What's that? You turn south here? All right. Thanks a lot.

That was something, wasn't It? But then, two or three blocks saves that much walking. And shoes do cost money, even in these hard times.

It's thundering. I do believe it is going to rain again It Is! And I'll bee soaking wet by the time I got to college. Thank heaven, another car' Is stopping. It Isn’t such a nice car, but It does have a top on It, so at least I won't get wet. Now, I wonder what is wrong. The driver has Just remembered she has to go home after a hook that Is due in the library. That means I'll have to walk some more. I wish Miss Heckethorn would excuse her just this once at least. If I were librarian. I believe I'd think about the people who bad to walk If someone with a big car didn't pick them up.

FRESHMAN CLASS HAS

The college songs and yells were given and a copy of the school's yells was presented to each member. Each member was questioned as to whether they were returning next year to McPherson College.

FOR A BETTER Y. M. C. A.

The student is sometimes slow to recognize the value of all campus The organization may be old and its work becomes habitual on the campus. Its work goes on quietly but Its power Is none—the less effective.

The Y. M. C. A.. an on organization on our campus. has accomplished much. True It has worked quietly for the most part, but it has been the agency through which a small group of students have reaped positive benefits.

The spectator

The need of the campus is that more men participate In this organiza-tion. The Y. M. C. A. specializes in student problems and operates for the benefit of the students alone. One may get “fed up" on religion and stay away from meeting, but In this organization the student creates the pro-gram for himself. If this organization fails to aid the men of the college, it In because they do not attempt to solve their problems.

For a better student body. for a better Y. M. C. A. and for a better M. C. come to the meeting and participate in our programs.

“I know that question as well as anything" is a favorite expression on examination day. Fretting and worrying at this time will be In vain and make the situation worse.

A systematic review of this semester's work will be beneficial to the student. It will give him a sense of confidence on examination day. Then, too, a course after it has been taken requires organization. To end the semester effectively one must make a good grade In his course.

But the spirit that there is still time to review will destroy the advantage of review. Cramming is destructive both for its immediate consequences and as a habit.

In the personnel of a college may be found a wide variety of social ideals and life ambitions, Unless these peculiarly different mind-sets are aligned Into a unit of co-operation, their association is not beneficial; Co-operation and not conformity, is the cornerstone of a successful school.

The explanation for this is In the expressive nature of Individuals. Each faculty member feels that the school life is a pliable medium for the conduction of his Ideals and principles of management, behavior and morality. For this reason the faculty meets to present and draft sets of regulation controlling the actions of their students. To describe these regulations as dictatorial is fair In view of the stand taken by their author as frequently voiced thus: If you won't conform to the regulations that we set up. we don’t need you here.’ Perhaps educated specialists have a right to experiment with youth: and youth should in turn choose their college by the Ideals which it maintains and having once chosen, subject themselves to the moulding hands of others.

The ambitious student, on the other hand, has an even keener desire tor self-expression than his instructor; he is in the creative stage of his life and is Impelled with wholesome zeal to develop the attitudes which are natural and inherent in himself. He gladly accepts guidance but rebels against control. As long as an Institution is not perfect, he reasons. It should be open to the contribution which he confidentially feels that he can make. Perhaps Impetuous youth has a right to suggest that their faculty accept the role of mechanical Instructors and allow them to loss their conflicting ideals into the melting pot and tolerate the ridiculously uncertain character of the resultant amalgamation.

If cooperation is desired. It Is Imperative that these conceptions he Abandoned. There is however, a Justification for both faculty and student to maintain a firm stand at the proper place. The college is the lifework of Its administration; therefore society owes him the privilege of laboring to advance the theories of behavior that he believes right and Ideal. The student should not forget that the faculty must answer for the personal appearance of their school. Likewise the student claims the privilege of leaving to his Alma Mater a contribution which reflects the Ideals that he believes progressive and enlightening, He is expected in be proud of his school and becomes embarassed when he cannot boast of its ideals and

A frank recognition of the ambitions and responsibilities of both faculty and student-body is the only way to Insure cooperation in a college. Co-operation Implies working as a unit, the power of unity attracts respect and admiration which to a school means honor and success.—Blue Ridge College Reflecter.

Are students sure that they are boosting in their attitudes toward M. C.? To help our school we must be sure that we are boosters and not knockers.

A student may attend all of the football and basketball games, he may take part in many student activities. but still he may not be a booster. In fact he may do all this but still be detrimental to the college.

The outsider's altitude toward McPherson College will In the long run depend upon the personal conduct of the students, the. type of the activities In which he participates, and his own attitude toward the school In the true sense we cannot become M. C. boosters and maintain a low standard of personal attitudes and conduct.

The textbook today is a better teaching Instrument than It has ever been—free In treatment, less “text bookish". To secure scientifically made books, publishers select authors who furnish that kind of material.—R. R. Buckingham. Howard University.

Tomorrow education for leisure will be as vital to our civilization as education for labor has been In the pint.—James E. Rogers. Nat. Recreation Ass’n.

The art program for secondary schools has changed. Freehand drawing no longer appears on the curriculum. Art appreciation has taken its place.—Indianola Wilcuts. Art Supervisor, Duluth.

MOTHER’S DAY PROGRAM

PRESENTED IN CHAPEL

A special Mother's Day program prepared by Clarice Evans and Helen Webber was presented in chapel last Friday.

While waiting In the station the old lady was drawn into, conversation hy a sophisticated young lady, portrayed by Margaret Oliver. Helen Webber played the part of Ihe mother and Edwin Carlson depleted the role of the depot agent.

SENIORS SPEAK IN Y. M.

Milton Early and Charles Austin Give Advice

Frosh (rushing into library): "I want the life of Caesar."

Librarian: "Sorry, but Brutus beat

you to it." —Colgate Banter.

Edith Bechtelheimer was absent from classes the early part of the week on account of Illness.

Pres. V. F. Schwalm gave a commencement address at Ames. Oklahoma. Friday evening. He was accompanied by Grace Heckman and Lilburn Gottmann.

Two seniors, Milton Early and Charles Austin, speaking In Y. M. C. A. this morning told what they would do again in taking a college course.

These two speakers spoke on problems of every student and especially on the areas in which college students are weak.

Milton Early stated that, college students should pay more attention to speakers on the campus and try to get conferences with them. Then, too, the the student, he said, should work to Improve himself physically.

Charles Austin stated that scholarship was the motive of the student In college. By reading widely, catting daily assignments, and forming attitudes we can attain that scholarship. Also It is necessary that a student should not try to be proficient In too many activities, Mr. Austin stated.

Carol Whitcher had charge of devotionals.

Well, I hate to throw away such a good opportunity to express myself In words to my fellow friends, classmates. and daily grinder. so I produce this masterpiece.

To tell you the truth I don't see why In the world I most be given an article to write when I have one • thousand and two other things to do —three themes, two reports, one laboratory notebook, one magazine article to read, one hygiene inspection to make, ten dates to fulfill (some with the professors,'others with the cute little thing) a woodwork project to finish. seven back papers in rhetoric to do— and the other 976 things.

But say. do I want school to be out or not—why Just two weeks left

......and all my fun is over, almost.

Of course It'll be grand to be home and sleep until 10 a. m.—unless I drive that tractor—then I'll have to get up at 5 bells.

Whoo-I wonder will SHE write to me as often as I scribble to her this summer. Gotta take that mat ter up on the next date we have. Oh. and then I gotta be sure she "crosses her heart and hopes to die" she won't take any other dates In my absence.

Maybe I ought to ask her to come see me some time this vacation And maybe I might to go to see her at least three times—but once will be good to make that enormous distance. Gee—I think It’s awful her being stuck up In that dorm room 50 feet away from me, but then this summer she'll be 50,000,000 feet away from me which is indeed Just 50,000,000 feet too far.

Oh. and when I think of exams coming on—do I feel my feet shrinking in my shoes or myself getting smaller. I feel as If I could have used that perfectly good day when we got vacation for heating the Swedes to do this mental labor—but alas, I failed In do It then. Oh. I guess this is some old world anyway.

What did you say roommate!—

Yeah, It's Learn, Live, and Love.

’Tis true. brother, true. Oh. there goes—tripping over the walk. I must be with her all these spare minutes I don't study 'cause Just think those minutes soon will be seconds and then no seconds at all. Anyhow I hope at least half of these good old eggs here on the campus come hack next year. And say—I hope She will he among us! DO I?

“LARRY” IS LATEST BOOK TO INTEREST REVIEWER

I have Just finished reading "Larry". The book has Impressed me more than any other I have read for a long time. I was not only Impressed, but I was also fascinated. I would willingly sit down and read It again—and then again. I know others have enjoyed It. and yet others will enjoy It In the future.

Larry's thoughts, problems, and Ideals are all very real to him; what Is more, they become fully as real to anyone who reads the book. Larry, the college boy, Is like many another college boy. here and elsewhere. He was active and fun-lov-ing, but he saw the serious things of life, and soon became a leader of his class. That he was conscious of his responsibilities Is shown In his Intensely human letters to Girl, and In his affectionate ones to bis family. His Ideas are expressed even more clearly and frankly Is the pages of his diary which are given.

then. Ah. we are even getting through the draw. Say. am I glad I don't have to use the sidewalk. It is really submerged. I didn't realize It had rained that much. There's Deardorff just coming out of Hess's, and I believe that's Tice at the corner. Wonder If we'll pick them up. For cat’s sake, what has happened to the lofty Junior's car? It has certainly stopped. Out of gas! I might have known my luck hadn’t changed. Anyway I can talk to the two Ruths while I continue on my Journey, wearily but patiently..

"I wonder If they will have the track meet today?" says one. "I think they ought to?"

"Yes, they are still planning to. even If It did rain. One of the other girls called me up this morning. She had heard some other kids from Wichita were hitch-hiking here In order to see It."

I Just simply can't refrain from remarking: "Here's hoping they don't have to change chauffeurs as often as I have in the last mile and a half."

"No I didn't. Not that I rode In them all at once. I'm not a quintet, or triplets, or even twins. I took them one at a time. In succession." And I begin to give an account of my morning's travels.

Yes, we finally heard that. We got Into an automobile that Is already packed almost to a sardine-can density. I can't give the excuse to them that I'd rather walk. Besides I'd rather be a sardine with a lot of others, than a student walking to an eight o'clock class by myself. Full as It is, the creaking mass weight of tin and young college life finally reaches the campus and we literally fall out—at least some of ns do.

‘‘Thanks for the buggy ride." I hope they ask me again some time. But next time I get a ride to school, I hope It Isn’t In Installments.

If you saw Alex Richards cavort-ing about the campus yesterday an a white-faced clown, you can now realize that he was only Melvin Landes's brain-child of make-up.

The people at Little River seemed to enjoy the A Capella programs very mark Sunday night. One old fellow even sang "Abide with Me' right along with the quartet--much to the amusement of the surrounding audience.

The senior are still keeping everyone in suspense as to when they will sneak. When anyone borrows knickers or pajamas suspician runs riot Melvin Landes informed someone that they were leaving June 2. And maybe some others, too?

All Schools Day today! Too had we couldn't all ride in the college float. But the a lot of those who worked hours on it yesterday see it go by as they stand in the sun.

We understand that Bernice Fowler In the principles of Interpretation class on heckling (you know—Intermixing the speaker to see If he can retain his poise)—well, to get back to the story—they say that Bernice could make such remarks and give such cool looks that you wouldn’t want to heckle her more than once.

Imagine Blanch Harris upholding sunny California's good qualities— and he himself a native Idahoan!

Ogden always has a comeback. In a recent clam the prof said to him. "Well, that's fifth grade geography", and Ogden said "Yes, but I skipped the fifth grade".

"Every student a student solicitor" —Did yon ever hear that? It's a good motto!

A new Idea wax tried out yesterday in Arnold Hall. A new dress that was too big for the owner was hung in a prominent place and a big "For Sale” sign pinned on it. Maybe we will not be able to find the bulletin board In the future because of the clothing hanging on it.

Did you know that everyone In Dr. Schwalm's college graduating class now has a doctor's degree? (However, there were only three la the class.)

Dr. Schwalm says that he feels the need of a good vacation. From the looks of indolence around (he campus one would almost think that a few others not only feel the same way. but have already begun their vacations.

However almost everyone seems more than busy—trying to get done now what they have neglected all semester. Still the spring weather Is beginning to find couples dotting the grass of the campus.

Recently Warner Nettleton has sung a solo or two in the Y. W. C. A. meetings. Funny, how he never lingers for the rest of the program. Maybe the audience was a trifle too feminine for his (shall we say "mas-culine") mind.

In fact If it hadn’t been for his voice—and possibly his diminu-tive size—we might have thought he was a college student. (Might have,

PADDE roll

HESS URGES STUDENTS TO BECOME SOLICITORS

"Every student a student solicitor" was the slogan suggested by Prof. Maurice A. Hess In his speech In chapel Monday. May 15 on the increasing of the enrollment for next year.

A student as a solicitor should first of all itemize the advantages of his own school. He should find out the Interests of the prospective student and If necessary should change this Interest. The student should be so well posted that he can tell the high school graduate the requirements necessary to obtain a teacher's certificate, and the Information he desires about the extra-curricular activities.

The financial factors are probably the most important ones which will confront the student. McPherson College offers maximum education for minimum costs. Also when Jobs are scarce the costs of education are also low.

The students of the college should let their enthusiasm be contagious, so that freshmen will come because they want and not because they can’t go anywhere else.

Cooperation with the general office will tend to a more efficient organization. It Is the goal that each student should return nest fall with one new student.

BRIGHT SAYS WORLD IS

AT GREAT CROSSROADS

Dr. J. D. Bright spoke In chapel. Wednesday, May 10: his topic, an expansive one. was "College Student* and Social Responsibility". Dr. Bright said that we need to realize passionately that we are living in the midst of a new economic order. He quoted the chief Justice of the Supreme Court as saying that the people of the United-States are facing an emergency greater and worse than war and that there is a great need of noble minds. The world is at one of Us greatest crossroads of history now. College students should shoulder social responsibility or someone else will. Bright said.

There are now twenty-five million men in the armies, navies and military reserves—5 million more than were armed In 1914. The Oxford Union recently started a movement, when they declared they would not fight for king or country. Such complex situations are facing the college students today.

"Larry was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Foster of Ridgewood, N. J. He was active lin school life. the Hi-T Club, the Boy Scouts and the Methodist Episcopal Church School.

"He was graduated from the Ridgewood High School when he was eighteen and entered Lafayette College in September. 1928. At the close of his sophomore year he went to Ari-zona for his summer's vacation.

"A few days before he was to return home he was asked to pose for the picture shown opposite page 145 Just as he started to ride out to watch a beautiful sunset. ("Call it The last stand of the cowboy,’ ” said Larry as he rode into the sunset. never to return.) When he did not return a search was made. Apparently bo had been sitting on the ground holding the lariat that was fastened to the saddle. Something frightened the horse and he ran. Catching the lariat on Larry's wrist, He gained his feet for about fifty yards' and then fell, hitting his head against a stump, causing instant death."

Besides showing a strong love for poetry, as is evidenced by several original poems and one or two others In the book; Larry enjoyed litera-ture. music, nature, and above. all, life. He was intensely, vitally alive to every new experience, and the render naturally wonders why dioath had to come to him so soon. I have solved that question satisfactorily for myself, but you may have a different answer. As the French say. "Chacun a son gout." At any rate, you will enjoy the book.—Bookworm.

Dormitory students or hoarding students of Elizabethtown College gave a week-end party for the day students. The event started off with a big party, after which the students repaired to their various dorms to enjoy a sleepless night. Breakfast was a campfire affair, and In the afternoon there was tea in the social room, and later a couple basketball games. At midnight lunch was served and the party broke up.

University of California were sand-papered for the benefit of the girls stockings. The day after this article was published there appeared In the Daily Kansan editorial suggesting that a few of the chairs around the K.

The annual Kansas Conference track meet Is over and again Baker University has coma through and won first place. Dope was against the Wildcats this year, but they managed to score enough points to win the meet by a good margin. Ottawa finished In second place and Kansas Wesleyan, doped to win the meet, placed third In total points. McPherson, with but four men entered scored 16 points and finished fourth In total points. Bethany brought up the rear with 7 points.

The showing of the Bulldogs at the Conference meet was very good considering the limited number that were able to go. Every man who went placed In at least one event. None of the tennis men went to the Conference meet. Last year the Bulldog doubles team composed of Bin-ford-Gottmann won the conference

championship.

The most outstanding feat accomplished by the McPherson team, and probably of any other team, was Rock's record throw In the Javelin of 178 feet. This was a new conference record In this event. Rock broke the record last year and this year he broke his own record. Not only did he defeat Ills conference rivals, hut he also threw n farther distance than the winner In this same event In the Central Conference. This was the only event In which the Kansas Conference bested the Central. He also threw farther than the winner of the Kansas-Missouri dual meet on the same day. Rock will hold the challenge cup for at least one more year and possibly longer.

The diminutive Custer tied fur second In the high Jump which Is remarkable for a small man. Ho was unfortunate In that he didn't got either of the two medals. Casida of Ottawa and Hardinger of Baker who tied with Caster won the medals when they "flipped''! Custer is only a freshman and will probably go higher In his next three years.

Reinecker, a new find In the two mile. went to Baldwin and placed third In this event. He had been running the mile and the half all sea-son. but found out a few nights before the big meet that he could run the two mile. The time was good In this run and Reinecker will probably be running It faster next year.

Zinn placed second In the discus and third In the shot put at the conference classic. George Is a senior this year and he has won lota of points for the Bulldogs during his college career In these. events. Zinn has thrown the discus considerably farther than the distance that won first place in this event, but was un-able to do It at the conference meet. Zinn and Rock will be greatly missed In the weight events when next year's track season comes around.

REYNOLDS HIGH POINT MAN

Friends University won the tri-angular track and field meet held at Newton yesterday by annexing a total of 58 points. McPherson finished second In total points with 40 1/2. Bethel finished last with 32 2/3 points. Friends scored heavily In the dashes and In the hurdles and gathered enough points in the other events to finish well ahead of the other two schools.

The Bulldogs were far superior In the weight events, but fell down on the middle distance runs, Friends made a clean sweep of the half mile and took first and second In the 4 40-yard run. Reynolds, fast dash man of the Quakers, was high point man of the meet. He took firsts In the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, and low hurdles, and ran a fast quarter on the winning relay team.

Custer and Wiggins broke the school record In the high Jump, noth of these men cleared the bar at 5 feet, 10 inches and tied with Kenni-son of Bethel for first place. Reinecker. a new find In the two mile ran a nice face only to be defeated by Landes of Bethel on the last lap.

A few men from McPherson made the remaining number of points necessary for their letter In this meet. Zinn won firsts for the Bulldogs In the shot put and discus and Rock won the Javelin as usual. Hock, Zinn. and Early who are Seniors looked good In their last track meet for McPherson College. Friends won the mile relay; the time was 3 minutes and 36 seconds.

Test Comparisons

C. C. Weidemann, University of Nebraska. to the Educational Research Association

Daring the last decade It has been contended by such authorities as Paterson. Wood. Ruch and Odell that the new type of objective examination measures achievement as Well as the unimproved written essay examination. In the main. It seems that their contention is sound. Its limitation, however, is to be found in the fact that the Improved objective types were compared with the unimproved essay examination. A more direct comparison would be between the improved new type and the improved essay examinations.

of written essay examinations was made lasting over a period of approximately five years, The outcome of this analysis has paved the way for a series of experimental studies. The first experimental study asks the question: Docs the true-false test measure the same mental functions as the compare-contrast essay examination? Under carefully defined conditions the outcome of 28 experiments Indicates that the compare-contrast essay and the true-false test under actual classroom conditions or administration overlap In the mental functions measured to the extent of approximately 60%. Furthermore, approximately 40% of the mental functions measured by the compare-contrast essay are not measured by the true-false test; and approximately 40% measured by the true-false test are not measured by the compare-contrast essay.

These studies were extended to: make similar comparisons between the word-answer fact statment and the explain essay. Each of these studies consisted of a series of 8 experiments. In both of these latter groups of experiments, the degree of overlapping of mental functions measured Is between 50% and 60%. For the first time the evidence is available to Indicate that a comprehensive testing of achievement cannot bo realized on either objective or essay tests alone. It seems reasonable to assume that the main purpose of objective tests Is to measure degrees of mastery of facts and some of the simpler level* of reasoning ability; the more complex functions of reasoning ability seem best to be tested by the essay types of question.

To use the essay Intelligently, It becomes necessary to define accurately each type of essay to be used. Home of the more Important types are: what (also who, when, where and which), list, outline, describe, compare, contrast, explain, discuss, evaluate and summarize. Each of these concepts must be understood by the teacher and must be accurately taught to the pupils. It seems fundamentally Hound that pupils should know what teachers mean when using any one or more of the foregoing commands In an attempt lo Introduce essay questions.
