Importance of Information
For High Schools Shown
Final choice of a career by young
people is the responsibility of the
home, not the school, but it is the
^ duty of the school to give the stu
dent a wide fund of knowledge so
he may be able to choose wisely.
This was one of the conclusions
of Or egon high school principals and
administrators, veterans of years of
advising and guidance work among
voung people, who gathered on the
University of Oregon campus to dis
cuss guidance problems and exchange
ideas on helping young people.
Wide Information Needed
The importance of placing before
high school students all manner of
information about vocations, and
about higher educational possibil
ities, was continuously emphasized
by speakers at the sessions. Often,
it was pointed out, a student is pe
culiarly fitted for some particular
work never knows enough about that
work to discover his aptitude for it.
iThe school should prevent such mis
*Yortu r;e.
Charles K Dienst, superintendent
of schools of Boise, Idaho, and di
rector of the Natioual Education as
sociation, was a leading speaker at
the convention, which was held at
i the school of education at the nni
j versify. Oregon educators and high
, school administrators were other
l speakers.
Individual Should be Studied
Advisors and school principals
agreed that both educational and vo
cational guidance are a responsibil- i
itv of tlic high school, and every
effort should be made to organize
resources to give effective direction
to young people. There is not much i
.danger of beginning too early, and
it should be made a continuous study
of each individual’s problems and
adjustment as regards his educa
tional, social and avocational in
terests. |
Self-Analysis Needed
The importance of teaching young
people to analyze their own powers
and capacities was emphasized, as
was the various methods by which
advisors learn of the ability of the |
Lstudents. ■ This brought up a discus- '
siun of mental tests and measure
ments. it was brought out that
mental tests should always be con- ;
sidered as supplementary to the ad- j
justment and common sense of the i
advisor, and should not be depended
oil too rigidly as an exact measure
ment of the student’s ability.
The conference was declared one
of the most successful educational
meetings ever held on the University !
of Oregon campus, it was conducted i
in connection with the state high
school student conferences.
Hall Girls Will Eat
At New Mens Dorm
Beginning two weeks from today,'
on Jan. 2!), all Susan Campbell and
Hendricks lialT girls will eat at the j
new men’s dormitory, said Mrs. j
Henry Davis, manager of the halls j
of residence on the campus, Monday 1
evening at a joint house meeting of!
both girls’ dormitories held in Hend
ricks hall.
The move is an effort on the part
^of the committee in, charge of hous
ing finances to keep rates for board
in the dormitories down to tin' pres
ent charge of $1 per day without
changing the standard of food be
ing served.
Breakfast will bo served from j
7:00 to 0:15 mornings, allowing
students to go to 8:00 o YIocks and
get their breakfasts afterward if I
they have no 0:00 o’clocks. Other
conveniences for the students are
being planned and it is felt that
the plan will prove more popular
as well as more economical than the j
present plan of individual dining ;
rooms.

his words weight, “but actually they

“Ninety-nine per cent of the pco- j

that we ought to get the ‘extra ter- j

Success Scored for Third Time In
Guild Presentation of Dunsany Play
By BEATRICE HAMILTON
The verdict for last night's per
formance of “The Gods of the Moun
tain” is success. The actors again
went through their parts like pro
fessionals. Thomas \Y. Simons in the
| rolcof Agmar, the leader of the beg
gars, held the attention of the audi
| ence throughout and might be called
'the star of the play. It was not
| only his acting but his very pene
trating ami clear voice illicit made
him the center of attention.
The play was put on, however, in'
the face of a very great handicap,
'which was the lack of space on the
^stagc. The populace had to enter
from a door at the side which took
away from the spectacular idea. The
lighting effects were splendid, which
speaks very well for those who “mop
their brows’’ behind scenes.
If the thumping which indicated !
the approach of the stone gods had
boon heard a little sooner and lasted
a little longer the last act would
have been more impressive and mys
terious. This is just a small point
but its emphasis would have doubled
the feeling of suspense in the audi
ence.
Billy Siegfried, in the rols of Slag,
the servant of Aguiar, equaled if not
surpassed his other two perfor
mances. He did not seem at all
stagy .but acted as if he was living
the part. The three other beggars
and the thief also did very fine
work. It almost made one hungry
to look at them. Constance both
should not go without mention. Al
though her part was a very small
one it was splendidly done.
The whole presentation repre
sented the tireless efforts of the
cast and of tin- director, Mrs. Ott ilie
Seybolt, and marks the greatest
stride forward in the drama depart
ment this year.

dun’t you learn more about liv

“Science is more urgent.” Lei
Thai was emphatically decisive.
“China cannot remain in the medi
eval stage any more.”
The position of a woman in China,
the educated woman, that is, is on
a par with that of the educated man.
Men and women in China have equal
political rights. The old custom of
arranging marriages is dying out,
but Lei Chai had a wife chosen for
him.
“1 never saw her, but 1 heard a
lot about her.” He spelled the
name ‘Kan’ out on a piece of paper.
Th.it was the name of the little yel
low woman who was to have become
his wife. “But,” he said slowly,
‘the girl died.”
Broken Pay Telephone
Helps Out Love-lorn
EASTON, Pa. — (IP) — The coin
slot in the public pay telephone at
Lafayette college, recently was left
open when the phone was installed,
and as a result all money used in
making calls was returned. Not a
few students took advantage of this
as soon as it became generally
known, and tlie telephone did a
thriving business in long distance
calls. The boys called home and the
girl friends, all over the country,
for nothing.
When they returned from Thanks
giving vacation, however, they were
somewhat chagrined to learn that
the telephone company had traced
their calls, and had taken advantage
of tlie vacation to distribute bills
for payment. N'ot a few students
are broke.

Oregon’s victory iast. night should

Premonition Saves
Professor Thacher
One New Derby Hat
Prof. W. F. G. Thacher is thank
ing heaven that ho didn’t wear his
recently purchased dorbv hat on his
trip to Pullman, Washington, last
week,
A good hunch told him to keep
it safely in its box, but had he
worn it its fate would have been
certain, since the vehicle in which
| they were being conveyed, turned
completely over when it skidded off
icy pavement, somewhat damaging
j the car, and Shaking its occupants
severely.
The accident oecured twelve miles
this side erf Colfax, during Mr.
Thacker's trip throughout the N’orth
, west. Two other men were in the
car, but no one was injured.
Tuesday, January 7. Mr. Thacher
addressed tile association of" Trade
and Class Journalists on work in ad
vertising on the campus as it applies
j to their problem. Here the associa
tion voted to sponsor a "Summer
Scholarship” in advertising. In
Spokane he spoke to the advertising
j club on "How to make your news
paper advertising click,” after'which
he attended a dinner given by men
interested in advertising work at.
Washington State college.
At Pullman, Mr. Thacher was en
tertained with a luncheon given by
students in advertising at Washing-1
ton State college. After that lie
assisted the chapter of Alpha Delta
Sigma in their initiation. Here, ac
cording to Mr. Thacher, was found
a very flourishing chapter of that
advertising honorary.
At tlio University of Idaho, which
lio next, visited, there was also a
splendid group who are petitioning
this organization. At Moscow he
was a guest at a dinner given by
Idaho students, faculty and towns
people.
“1 was astonished at the interest
■'how-n in advertising throughout the
Northwest,” said Mr. Timelier. "The
business men and students in Spo
kane are exceedingly energetic in
all work towards advertising.”
Phi Mu Alpha To Have
Charge of Assembly
Usi chapter of Phi Mu Alpha,
moil's^ honorary inusic frg{ comity,.,
wifi ha've charge of the program at,
the assembly which will be held
Thursday morning in the Woman’s
building.
•lack Dennis, who is in charge of
the program has chosen the members
of the fraternity who will demon
strate their musical ability. George
Barron and Harold Ayers will play
the piano; Jack Dennis and Ernest
McKinney will sing; and Kenneth
Brown will play two violin solos.
Every year members of Phi Mil
Alpha give a ninsieal program at
the assembly. Edward Best, instruc
tor at the school of music, is presi
dent of the fraternity this year.
Results of Business Ad
Tests Similar to Others
Faville Sees the Possibility
Of Their Elimination
Results of seven tests, to measure S
ability iii aeeoiintiug, coi relate to a I
very high degree with 'the general I
ability tests given by the depart 1
meat of psychology, said Dean
David E. Faville, of the school of
business administration, after view j
ing the work accomplished by Pro- '
fessor O. K. Burrell, of the business
administration department, who lias
conducted tho tests and made the
comparison.
Professor Burrell has conducted a
series of tests to determine the apti
tude and the probability of success ^
of a beginner in constructive ac
counting.
It is hoped that advance informa
tiou can be gained by these tests as
to a student ’s ability to master ac
counting.
J he tests will act as an instru
ment of vocational guidance, stated
Dean Faville, and a basis for the
sectioning of beginners in account
ing according to their aptitude.
In the fall of 1927, the first of a
series of tests was given to 225 ac
counting students. This was fob!
lowed by ;i new buttery of tests
given to the same number of stu
dents in the fall of 1928, and the
results compared with those of the
first series in order to get the de
gree of correlation.
I he tests cover the following:
ability to solve computation uritli- j
nietic problems, ability to solve ■
reasoning arithmetic problems, ail cl
ability to reason in abstract terms.
Also, tests in making accurate
classifications, and in reading nn
dorstandingly, are included in the
series.
After the tests were completed, a

I'oofficionry of correlation was ob
tained, stated Dean Fuville, between
accounting accomplishment ami gen
eral ability. The results compared
favorably with the psychology tests
in general ability.
“We believe,” said Dean Faville,
“that from these tests it may be
possible, in time, to section begin
ners in accounting on the basis of
general ability tests as obtained
from the department of psychology.
“Certain it is, that the findings
of Professor Burrell indicate that a
high degree of relationship exists
between these tests, and the proba
bility of success on a basis of apti
tude.”
