Adult Education Move Organized 4 At Conference Definite Plans Made for Teaching Illiterates Says Dean Rebec The education of people out of and beyond school years is reached through adult education, explains Dr. George Rebec, who has just re turned from a conference held at San Francisco, February 8 and 9, for the purpose of organizing an as sociation for adult education. The world movement for adult education extended definitely into America when the Carnegie corpor ation displayed interest in having it here, and called a number of con ferences, the San Francisco session being one. According to Dr. Rebec, the back ground of the Carnegie corporation is to explain the adult education idea and situation as < unfolding themselves throughout the world in several parts of America, and after that, to undertake the question of f definite organization, both for the country as a whole and for differ ent sections. Dr. Rebec report* the conference was very interesting. Albert Mans bridge of London, founder of the Worker’s Educational Association, was the guest of the conference and the regional chairman was, Henry Suzzalo, president of the University of Washington. Mel ville A. Brannon, chancellor of the University of Montana, Rufus Von Kleinsmid, president of the Univer sity of Southern California, L. S. Klinek, president'of the University of British Columbia, A. C. Crane, president of the University of Wyo ming, and C. H. Marvin, president of the University of Arizona were among the representatives of the conference. The movement for adult educa tion in China began during the war when an officer in charge of a bri gade of laborers found them suf fering from loneliness and home sickness. “They could write no letters home, and could not read the ones sent to them. When the officer thought of teaching them how to read, he was confronted with the difficulty of the Chinese script, said Dean Rebec. “To be able to learn this require* a large amount of time. Finally the officer had the happy idea of working out a simple form of'Chinese writing con sisting of 1200 signs. Nearly all the men acquired this and the prob lem of home communication was solved. The process has been adopt ed by tens of millions of people in China.” Education for adults in America is being reached through libraries, correspondemee course* and by various ways, says Dr. Re bec. Dr. Rebec states that the idea of educating adults has been taken up in Europe by Denmark and other Scandinavian countries, Germany, Great Britain and Czecho Slovakia.

Handy Pack ^'onjrourDealer'aConnie^jHJ Psychology (Continued from page one) ANALOGIES I. Many perfect scores were made on this test. Mr. Taylor says it is too easy for col lege students, but it is difficult to make one that is more in keeping with the otheils. “FISH is to SWIM and MAN is to (Paper, Time, Girl, Walks).” The correct answer would bo ‘ ‘ walks. ’ ’ It looks easy, but Mr. Taylor says that it is surprising how many mis takes are made. There are 50 possible points, the average being 27.5. Men averaged 25.6, and women 29.7. ANALOGIES II. As the first analogies test was in words, this one is in forms. “—is to—as—is to—, or—or x, or—, or O.” The correct form i/s In this there were 25 possible chances to score. The average was 12.1, with men making 11.8 and women 12.3 points. NUMBER COMPLETION. The student in this test has to work out the formula as shown in the exam ple given. For instance, “9-18-3-6-7 —.” The right number would be “14,” since “9” was doubled to make “18,” “3” doubled to make “6,” and twice “7” equals “14.” One student made the 25 possible points in this test, but 86 make zero, bringing the average down to 9.4. Men made 10.1, and women 8.4. ABSURDITIES. This is another test that is too easy for college stu dents. Forty-six made perfect scores, while the average was 16.8 Men scored 15.8, and women 17.8, on an average. Only two of thope tested scored zero. In the directions, the student is told that the sentences given below are absurd, but can be made reason able by the change of a single word. In “I have three brothers, Paul, Er nest, and myself,” the word “my self” would be underlined by the student to show that it is the word that renders the sentence absurd. OPPOSITES. Although a hard test, this is very good for determin ing vocabulary, accuracy of voca bulary, and knowledge. For ex ample four words are given: (1) warm, (2) heavy, (3) long, (4) short. The student is told that two of these words are either the same or opposite. In this case, numbers (3) and (4), or “long” and “short,” are the opposite, and are set down a|s such. Out of 27 possible points, the highest score made was 24 points. The average for those tested was 7, with men averaging 6.5, and women 7.5. “In classifying students on the basis of the test score,” sayfl Mr. Taylor, it seemed best to make the classification as similar as possible to the grading system of the Uni versity. Therefore, the freshmen were graded as follows: 1, five per cent; II, 20 per cent; III, 25 per cent; IV, 25 per cent; V, 20 per cent; VI, 5 per cent. “College women cluster around the same ‘above average’ • score,” he continued, “while men vary from a few exceedingly brilliant, to a few very unintelligent. In this way, women usually have higher average scores, but men, on the whole, make the higher individual scores of the two.” Oregon Professors Will Give Lectures In all Parts of State Members of the faculty will lec ture under the auspices of the Ex j tension department in various parts of the state during the month of!

The subject of his address has not been 'announced, Merchants (Continued from page one) - of the business done by the state legislature has to do with business and yet most business men stay away from legislature as if there was a keep out sign tacked above the capitol door, said Hemming, whoi has made a study of the situation. Three things keep the business man away from the legislatures. First, the federal control of business, sec ond ,the state control of business, and last, the voluntary control. It is up to the business man to let the men at the legislature know what their problems are, or the legisla tures will not know how to meet their needs. The legislature of Oregon, Hemming continued, was, wishing someone was there who could tell them the facts about the business men and what they wanted, j Robert C. Line, of Columbus, Mon tana, spoke on “What to ,do With Dead Stock.” “If you can tell me you have no dead stock in your stores, you are either lying or you are a most un usual group of merchants I have ever seen. It is no disgrace to have old (stock, but it is a disgrace to keep it without trying to get rid of it.” HHJ Q~J Q_] LHj Oil L_J l—l l—JIHJ Oil C_J IHJ Oil L_J QU GL1 DU Oil Oil Oil OiJ L—J CfJ K SHINE UP For the Senior Ball U. of O.

S. Sullivan HEILIG Basketball Pavilion Funds Now Available Reports Ted Larsen The sum of $105,000 necessary for building the new basketball pavilion, can be secured from fin ancial houses in Seattle, Portland or Eugene, according to a state ment by Ted Lateen, chairman of the A. S. IT. O. building committee, last night. After conferring with various banks, the committee hast found that money for financing the new building may bo borrowed through a system of bond issues. Although no transaction has been made, the com mittee expects to have a definite re port on both the Jjuilding and fin ancing of the pavilion ready early next week. Present construction plans have been turned over to Ellis F. Law rence, dean of the school of archi tecture, for revision. A final ca pacity of at least 9000 peats is ex pected. Lean Lawrence will pro vide as large a number as finances will allow. Of the $105,000 to be raised $45, 000 must be ready for payment on the completion of the building, about October 1, according to Lar sen. The money will probably be borrowed through bond series of five to ten years. All firms that have considered financing the pa vilion have offered the money at an exceptionally low rate of interest and on other favorable terms, Lar sen reported. Injuries to Mat Men Weaken Prospects Gloom, caused by two injured men out of five, settled down on the wrefetling team after the re turn from the trip north, and unless more men can be put in their places or recovery is more rapid than an ticipated, the meet with O. A. C. scheduled for this next Saturday in Eugene will probably be cancelled. The team’s showing on the nor thern trip which met both Idaho and Washington State college was disappointing. Idaho won 50 to 12; W. S. C. won 52 to 12. It was due to the experienced squads that they met at both col leges and the inexperience of tho Oregon men making the trip, all of whom were entering their second and third intercollegiate matches. Most of the men are from the freshman squad of last year and their (showing against veterans of i the mat could not be exceptionally good. The meet with Washington which | was scheduled for February 29 was ! set ahead to March 4 on account of I conflicting dates at the northern I school and an expected trip south i for their wrestling team. The wrestling turnout is promis ■ ing but the showings are disappoint j ing against strong teams like Idaho and O. A. C. Widmier had three varsity lettermen back this fall but none of them turned out for the team for various reasons from in eligibility to outside work. Ho has had great difficulty in making any kind of team out of the turnout. Executive Secretary of Delta Epsilon Visits Russell H. Anderson, executive secretary of Delta Upsilon fratern ity, whose headquarters are in New York City, arrived on tho campus Monday evening for a two day visit. Mr. Anderson is visiting the Delta Upsilon chapters throughout the country and while on the cam pus stayed at the Sigma Pi Tau fraternity. He recently visited the Univer sity of North Carolina and spoke very highly of Dr. Chase, who has been tendered the presidency of the University of Oregon. While on the campus, he visited admin istrative officials of the University, and "Dean Eric W. Allen and Prof. C. L. Kelly, bo'th fraternity broth ers from eastern chapters. Mr. Anderson spent two years in southern Russia, where he was con nected with the Near East relief work.

Coach Leslie’s men have won all their tilts this winter except one, that with the rooks in Corvallis last Saturday, and are out to keep their slate clean by registering wine over both invading teams. Dave Epps, frosh guard, who was kept out of last week’s rook-frosh contests by an injured ankle is again in shape, and may be used against the Aggies. The Bend team comes here with a good reputation, having disposed of all central Oregon competition in easy fashion. A win over the freshmen would be a big feather in their cap.
