Value of Study Plans Subject Of Experiment University High Students Divided Into Groups For Comparison Because of the comparatively re cent interest in supervised study, Prof. Ilarl R. Douglass of the school of education is working on an ex periment in which he is comparing two different types of supervised study. The old plan for the class room was to have first the recita tion, the assignment, and then the supervised study. The new plan, which is being used extensively, is to have the supervised study and then the recitation. “The question is,” says Prof. Douglass, “whether it is the bet ter plan to study first. Some people think that the students study harder just before class recitation. The present urge, however, seems to be for a reverse of this idea, because the students find it unnecessary to do studying at home. “No one has yet attempted to discover which is the better plan, Over in the campus high school we have divided the students into two sections. There are eleven pairs of classes. There are classes in history, arithmetic-, French, science, and English. The two sections are di vided on the basis of the following three things: age, regressed intel lectual score, and regressed stand ard achievement. In this way the classes have an equal mean age, in tellect, and ability. In one section we have the study-recite plan, and in its twin section we have the re cite-study method. They keep just about the same pace. Even the teaching influence is equal, because we have the teachers change sec tions occasionally. “At the beginning of the term we gave the students in each section a carefully planned objective test, and at the end we will give a^ sim ilar test to determine how much each class has learned. When we finish we will have a definite result as to which is the better plan to use. Our experiment is methodi cal,” says Professor Douglass, ‘‘and we have chosen the students for each section with great care and thought.” Millikan (Continued from page one) the human mind that should bo ac claimed among the capital events of these days. The proposal that they should bear the name of their dis coverer is the one upon which hit brother scientists should insist. The power of these rays to pass througl six feet of solid lead has suggestec the name “penetrating rays,” am the fact that they are immigrant! upon this vapor sphere has sug gesteel the name “incoming rays,’ but they would more appropriately bear the name of the pcnetratini mind that passed through the mile of space to the far frontiers of on atmosphere and there met thes strange forces of the universe com ing out of space—the mind tha lived among them for years to lean their ways, and at last brought u word of their mysterious existence.’ Members Luncheon to be Given For those students and faculty members desiring to meet T)r. Mil likan personally, a luncheon is be ing planned for Thursday noon a the Osburn hotel. The cost will b fifty cent* each. Those who plni to attend should call lb\ A. E.

Those who have not al ready done so should notify Mozell Hair at 090 for reservations for th banquet at 0:15. The charge is on dollar per plate. The Oherliu am Chicago alumnae, who have been in vited to attend the banquet, ar asked to notify Miss Hair, also. Chicago News (lives Library Volume of Collected Interviews “World Chancellories,” by Ed ward Price Hell, has been presente to the University library by th Chicago Daily News. “As contr; buted to the cause of world peace, is written in the frontispiece of th book, “these interviews original! published in the Chicago Daily New are held compiled in permanen form in a limited eomplimentar edition.” The book is dedicated to the men „ry of Victor Fremont Lawsor builder, owner, and editor-in chic of the Chicago Daily News. The library has also received 27 volumes of English Law Report dating from 1866 to 1919 from Toi onto, Canada. Keep Off Grass, Asks Gardener of Students npiIE gardener sends an urgent A plea to students not to walk across newly seeded grass plots or throw wastepaper on the lawns. It seems that as soon as the sign, “Do XOT Walk On Grass” is put up, it acts as an encouragement to students to “short cut” over the lawn or to absent mindcdly drag one foot around the edge, digging little furrows and mounds while con versing with a prospective date. By the old tennis courts and north of the library a new ter race is being seeded and the gar dener asks that the numerous foot prints on it not be repeated. The University grounds cannot be improved without the coopera tion of the students. Instead of tearing up candy sacks and chewing-gum papers and throwing them to the winds, which invariably land them in some conspicuous place on the campus, or crumbling volumes of notebook paper and casting them behind some bush, put these un sightly things in your pocket un til you reach a trash can or waste basket. It causes the men em ployed on the grounds twice as much work to pick up every paper with which careless per sons litter the grounds.

The seniors outplayed the frosh despite the fact that Editha Barthel pitched her finest game of the season for the first year women. She was sup ported by Dorothy Brown. Eliza beth Liounsbury and Alta Knips did the twirling and receiving for the seniors. These games wind up the season for the women, with the sophomores holding the first place by virtue of a straight line of victories. The juniors played runner-up with a de feat and one tie. New Dasli (Continued from page one) < at his home in Baker City a few years ago. After his record breaking sprint, Kelly took the broad jump with a phenomenal leap of 23 feet, 014 inches, to break the northwest rec J ord, and without cooling off, equal led the American 220-yard dash ' record, doing the distance in 21 1-S seconds. Kelly was a direct product of the coaching of Bill Hayward, who refused nn offer that fall to journey east and handle track at Notre Dame. The course was measured almost immediately after Kelly had broken the century record, and to every ! one’s consternation was found to bo ’ five inches short. The steel tape 5 rfVich was used to measure the ' course, however, had just been used to measure the weight events and 5 was pot. It was placed in a water tank and cooled off, with the result that when the course was finally measured with the cool tape it was found to be the exact 100 yards. Kelly’s record has been equalled several times in the past twenty i years, but never beaten. Howard Drew, the great negro sprinter, tied it in 101-1 ami subsequently equalled 1 his speed on other occasions, and ' j Charley Haddock equalled it again - 1 in 1021, C. O.

This in itself was a record.

That’s merely a trick on the part of the unscrupu lous dealer to gyp you out of an extra fraction of a cent! Don’t let him Jo it! There is only one Orange-Crush— always in the Krinkly Bottle —and it’s so vastly superior to cheapened imitations that it's well worth fight ing for. Here's why: To sparkling carbonated water is added the juice of luscious oranges, the delicate flavor of their peel, the zestful tang of the fruit acid found in oranges, lemons and limes, a pure food color, such as you use in your cakes and candies, pure cane sugar. •o “Your refreshments are always a delight. Simple, too—just sparkling Orange-Crush, icy cold!” Serve Orange-Crush at the party. By itself it's sur passingly delicious. Added to ice-cream it makes a glorious soda. It makes a wonderful punch, too. Buy Orange-Crush over the counter from your neigh borhood dealer — or ask him to send you home a case.
