YOUTH IS WELL KNOWN HERl
Thomas Cutsl'orili Kntered the Uni
versity Two Years Ago ami Is
Sow a Most Popular Mouther
of Student Hotly.
Blindness is a fearful affliction,
but that it need not cut off ent'irelj
the usefulness of the victim has been
demonstrlaed by Thomas Cutsforth,
of Kiddle, Oregon, who has com
pleted an apparatus, for testing the
comparative ability of the blind to
learn, says the Portland Journal. Mr.
Cutsforth is one of two blind stu
dents at the State University.
By using Mr. Cutsforth's device,
an instructor mav determine what
method of presenting study material
is bent suited to the individual blind
student.. The apparatus is a box foui
'inches wide, eisht inches long and
four inches deep. Under a movabh
top, a belt of canvas runs under twc
rollers, one at each end. By-turning
a handle on the outside of the box,
the canvas can be made to revolve.
Around the rollers, and on top ol
the canvas, is fastened a strip of pa
per on which are words' in the dots
of the alphabet for the blind. In the
top of the box is an opening one b
two and one-half inches, with slant
ing edges. Through this opening a
section of the paper is exposed. In
feeling the print through the aper
ture as the handle is turned, the
fingers of the student rest pn trcross
piece that gives the paper a solia
background.
Words can thus be presented at
varying speeds. Tests are given tc
determine how quickly the subjec
can acquire a lesson from the sens,
of touch only; then a test to see ii
the speed is increased when the in
structor speaks the words white tin
student is feeling the impression or.
the paper, then a combination of pa
per, instructor's prompting, and
repetition by the student after the
instructor.
"The box makes possible experi
ments to show the idiosyncrasies ol
any blind learner," said Ii Ii. H
Wheeler, instructor in psychology
"This is not the only contribution b
Mr. Cutsforth. ire has discovered
illusions of the blind and has !on
research work in dreams of the
blind. His is, indeed, some of thr
best work that has been done in thh
phase of psychology."
Leslie Blades, or San Dimas, Cal.,
tho other blind student, has submit
ted a thesis on the problem of the
best ways to present a study material
to the blind. The work of the twc
men In this department is ultimately
to be published.

atisral Consequence
The "Star" Specials which we put on sale Saturday are
proving the biggest kind of sellers we ever had. People
who have seen and bought them- are positively amazed at
these wonderfully low prices, and wonder how it can be done.
To be perfectly frank, if we had just bought them in
the regular way, same as the average merchant, we could not
afford it for a single moment. But each and every one of
these "Star" ticketed items were purchased by Mr. Harth at
way below regular market price, and as a result of shrewd
and careful manipulation. In addition to this is the modern
method adopted by us of being satisfied with a very close
margin, but figuring on the quantity business.
Were we to simply sit down ana1 wait, our business
would not be what it is today. We have kept seven sales
people busy for the past eight weeks; about as many as all
the other Roseburg clothing stores combined. They are not
here just for the fun of it, but because our business requires it.
Just take our tip, if you are interested in the "Star"
specials, buy what you want and need, without a moment's
delay, before we are cleaned out on them.
