APTITUDE TEST
Chemistry Students’ Grades
Approximate Mark for
Test at First of Year
Equation Predicting Final
Grade Are from Aptitude
And Psychology Tests
Possibility of successful use of a
chemistry aptitude test for deter
mining the mark a student can be
expected to make in the course is
shown in the results of the test
which was given to «176 students j
taking chemistry at the first of the j
year, as compared with grades for,
the winter term. One hundred
twenty-four students taking this
test, compiled at the University of
Iowa, were freshmen who had taken
the placement test required for;
college entrance.
These chemistry grades were
given without any reference to
either the psychological test or the
chemistry aptitude test. Only daily
work, quizzes, laboratory work, and
the final examination were consid
ered.
Eeturns were given to H. R.
Taylor, assistant professor of psy
chology, who computed the relation
of scores in the chemistry aptitude
test and grades in chemistry, be
tween scores in the chemistry apti
tude test and the placement test,
and finally two between scores in
the placement test and chemistry
grades. The conclusion is that it
is possible to utilize the aptitude
test and the psychological exami
nation to predict the grades of the
freshmen in chemistry.
On this basis, Professor Taylor
has made an equation for predict
ing the chemistry grade of any
freshman, through the use of the
score in the aptitude test and the
score on the placement test.
Taking the equation and picking
at random four students’ grades,
Mr. Taylor predicts the grade
either ascertained the correct one,
or in one case decided on a mark
too high by one point and in the
other case too low by the same
amount.
This method of using tests prom
ises to become increasingly valu
able, says Taylor. Advice may be
given a student that work in •
course will be difficult, and that
satisfactory lessons will take more
than a reasonable amount of prep
aration from him.

“FIVE IN FAMILY” PUT
IN RENT COLLECTION
“Five in Family,” E. H. Ans
ruther, recently added to the rent
collection of the University library,
is a book which has caused a great
deal of comment. The New York
Times gives the” following criticism
of it in its Book Review:
“This might have been a story
of humanity on a visit to heaven,
so tranquil is the atmosphere. Be
cause there is no genuine emotional
turmoil, because the book is so
downright natural, there is oddly
enough no fire, no magnetism in
it. Which only serves to prove that
naturalism of realism drawn to a
fine hair, is often not half so en
grossing as words fed with colorful
imagination and tumultous pas
sions.”
Another reviewer says further
that it “contrives to be almost un
believably irritating. If the novel
were simply bad, this would not be
true, since bad novels may be toss
ed away at once. But ‘Five in
Family,’ makes a promise which is
not kept.”
“Five in Family” is the story of
Frank Harding and his family
which he brings from New Zealand
to his small native village in Eng
land. Here he is confronted by the
problem of shielding the family
from an old scandal which is re
vived upon his return. After many
stormy years during which his two
daughters are harassed continually
by the environment, he succeeds in
launching them and his son on
careers of their own.
MINIMUM FOOD COST
PROBLEM OF CLASSES
The class in food -problems of
social work, under the direction of
Miss Lilian Tingle, is working on a
set of problems, minimum food cost
at Eugene prices. The task at
present is to find the minimum
eost of feeding a family of five,
all of different ages and conditions,
on balanced rations for a week.
STUDENTS SUBSTITUTE
FOR TEACHER AT U. H. S.
Due to the absence of Flaud C.
Wooten, head of the social science
department at the University high
school, Mildred Bateman, Univer
sity student, and Cora Turnridge,
librarian, substituted for him last
week. Mr. Wooten’s absence was
due to illness.
! HORSEBACK CLASSES
POPULAR WITH GIRLS
Beginners Too Confident
Says Riding Master
“There are persons who can ride
a saddle, and others who can ride
a horse,” says Roy B. Boyd, in
structor of beginners in horseback
riding at Bang’s Riding Academy.
“There are a great many people who
think they can ride, but to be a
real rider, one must be perfectly
at home on a horse, and always
ride in rhythm with it at any gait.”
It is necessary to use a different
system with almost every girl who
takes riding, according to Mr.
Boyd. It is impossible to judge
their ability by their build or
height. In fact, some of the best
riders are very small. If one feels
he must learn to ride immediately,
his progress will probably be quite
slow.
Girls show more interest in rid
ing than boys, Boyd declares, and
as a result they are usually more
adept. There are two horses in the
academy that no boy can get along
with, but girls handle them with
ease.
“The old theory about a horse
knowing when his rider is scared
is purely fictional,” says Mr. Boyd.
“The horse doesn’t know that you
are scared, but you yourself do,
and as a consequence you do the
wrong thing.”
There are 42 students taking
horseback riding this term. In the
spring and fall terms the number
increases to 80 or 90. Two-thirds
of the riders this term are sopho
mores.
In the spring, four girls; are cho
sen from each class to represent
riding at field day. They are judged
on saddling and unsaddling, riding
in a walk, posting, a trot and gal
loping. Points are given for each
one of these, according to the way
they hold the reins, and to their
general posture.
TWO GIRL STUDENTS
INJURED IN COLLISION
Two University girls, Marian
Barnum, a junior from Independ
ence and Elaine Crawford, a fresh
man from Portland, were in. an
automobile accident during the past
week-end. Due to a collision of
cars near Independence, both girls
were thrown from their car and
badly shaken up. Miss Crawford
received only a few scratches, but
Miss Barnum will not be able to
return to school for about two
weeks. A strained ankle and back,
and cuts about the left eye were
her most serious injuries. The
driver, Miss Barnum's brother, was
not injured.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
FACE LARCENY CHARGE
Two University students, Eleanor
D. Burtehaell and Laura P. Breske,
were bound over to appear before
the grand jury at a hearing held
in justice court in Eugene- yester
day. The two girls, who are said
to have taken dresses and other ar
ticles of feminine clothing from a
number of stores in Eugene, are
facing charges of larceny.
They were arrested on the cam
pus Tuesday by Eugene authorities
and in searching their rooms at the
Taylor apartment a number of ar
ticles, which merchants say were
taken from their stores, were
found. The merchants who are
said to have identified stolen cloth
ing are: McMorran and Wash
burne, Gilmore’s and J. .C. Penny
company.
Both students are sophomores in
the University. Miss Burtehaell is
a student in the school of journ
alism, and Miss Breske is registered
in the department of fine arts.
They are at liberty under $2000
bonds each.

TAKEN OVER
the famous
“Halowat”
line of Radio Receivers
As its name implies, the HALOWAT TR-5 is a five tube
tuned radio set embodying the usual three dial control.
The circuit, however, presents a radical departure in
design from any receiver now on the market. It is a well
known fact that the average modern receiver is some
what critical in adjustment on the shorter wave-lengths,
usually quite satisfactory on the medium waves, and
somewhat weak and lacking in “kick” on the longer
waves. This difficulty has been completely overcome by
a special circuit controlled by a three-position switch
located on the right of the panel, which allows maximum
possible efficiency with perfect control of tuning over
the entire band of broadcasting wave-lengths.

Perhaps you never think of it in this way—but there is a
lot of news about friends of yours in this paper right now.
Friends who serve you daily—who lighten your work_
amuse your leisure—contribute to your welfare and to
the pleasure of your life.
Advertised products—familiar faces that you find in your
living-room, bedroom, bath, kitchen, garage and yard.
Long association with them has proved their “friendship”
to be valuable.
The advertisements are little intimate word pictures of
these “commercial friends.” Advertisements tell you
how they are made, what they are doing, and how and
where to get them.
As a general rule, there is nothing familiar or “friendly”
about th*e appearance of an unadvertised product. , You
seldom see it in the paper—the stores—or even in homes.
Largely because the great buying public has learned that
the advertised product is the friend to tie to.
Read the Advertisements regularly—they
are messages from business friends of yours
