Professor Taylor Becomes
Wroth Over Writer ’s Error
"This is an excellent example of
the stupidity, or rather ignorance,
of some journalists,” chuckled
Howard R. Taylor, associate pro
fessor of psychology, commenting
on an article in the Intercollegiate;
press Blue Letter.
"Don’t get me wrong—I don’t!
nay that all journalists are stupid.
But I do say that the information
contained in this sheet is at least
35 years old and the question in
volved is not one of eliminating ex
aminations but of testing mental
ability.”
The sheet in question contained
the following statement: “Elimina
tion of examinations may be pos
sible if a new scientific method of
testing the mental growth of school
children now being tried out by
educators, proves successful.”
"This 'new' test was originated
by Einet, a French psychologist,
who devised a scale for the meas
urement of intelligence for differ
ent kinds of tasks which children
could perform. He believed that
the mental age of the child could
be determined in this way.
"Dr. Lewis L. Terman, head of
the psychology department at
Stanford, in 1905, took this test,
revised it, made additions to it,
and standardized its scale so that
now the test is used very general
ly by psychologists all over the
United States.
"I think that Dean Eric Allen of
this University’s school of jour
nalism is doing a lot to help elim
inate such stupid mistakes as the
one contained in this bulletin, by
training his students to guard
against this sort of thing,” said Dr.
Taylor.

Daniels at Heilig Sunday
One of the most extravagant
musicomedies of the year comes
tc the Heilig theatre Sunday, when
Bebe Daniels opens in “Dixiana."
Done largely in technicolor, and
with Edward Marshall, young
Metropolitan Opera star, support
ing Miss Daniels, it promises to be
an eye-filling spectacle. A sweep
ing panorama of the old South, a
magnificent Mardi Gras sequence,
and blazing with lavish stage set
tings, "Dixiana” is filled with ro
mance, music, and the comedy of
Wheeler and Woolsey.
Norma Shearer Plays Colonial
Norma Shearer comes to the
Colonial on Sunday in the dramatic
play of modern marriage, "Their
Own Desire.” She is supported by
Robert Montgomery, Lewis Stone,
Belle Bennett, and Mary Doran.
"Their Own Desire,” an all talk
ing picture, is the story of two
children of unhappy marriages and
the unhappiness their parents’ dif
ficulties threaten to bring upon
them. Miss Shearer’s father falls
in love with another woman. The
daughter finds that the boy whom
she loves is the son of that other
woman.
McDonald Celebrates Anniversary
Celebrating the second anniver
sary of the coming of the talking
picture to Eugene, the,McDonald !
theatre is opening their week of
special programs with “Remote
Control.” It combines a mystery
plot with comic situations. Wise
cracking William Haines has the
lead, and he is supported by an im
posing array of players: Polly
Moran, Charles King, Mary Doran,
John Miljan, J. C. and Edward Nu
gent, and James Donlan.
"Remote Control" is a radio com
edy, modern as the dazzling sets
used in the film.
McDonald Has Adventure Film
Today is the last chance to see
“Africa Speaks,” drama of explor
ation in the darkest of dark Afri
ca. It is unique in that the intrep
id cameramen took sound equip
ment, thus recording the sound as
well as the sight of the primitive
jungle.
Marxes Close Run Today
After a run of four days, the
Colonial is closing the Marx Bro
thers latest “sillicomedy” “Animal
Crackers.” One of the biggest box
office pictures this theatre has
shown for some time, it is neces
sary to call this the last day to
make way for Norma Shearer in
“Their Own Desire.”
Hex Has Comedy
The Rex, today and Sunday, is
showing that prince of comic lov
ers, Victor McLaglen in “A Devil
With Women.” It's all about
wild but passionate Central Amer
ican women, revolutions, and mean
villains. There are a number of de
lightfully funny “wisecrack” lines
in the show. It is full of action and
Victor McLaglen.
Walter Huston Stars
“The Bad Man,” that play that
made stage history, starring Wal
ter Huston, closes its Heilig run
tonight. It is a fine comedy of a
bandit who was too good to be
bad, and too bad to be good. A
fine cast which includes O. P. Heg
gie (playing his entire role in a
wheel chair), James Rennie, and
Dorothy Revier, puts it high among
the western pictures of the year.

Dress Rehearsal
Play Opens Wednesday of
Next Week
The first dress rehearsal of
“Holiday” was held in Guild thea
tre last night. Although there are
still a number of details to. be
added the production was suffic
iently complete for a test audience
to derive considerable pleasure
from it.
"A few more touches of paint,
the completion of lighting details,
the real furniture and props, the
speeding up of one or two episodes,
and we shall be ready to go,” said
Mrs. Seybolt, director.
The play will have two more
dress rehearsals so that no possi
ble detail will have been over
looked by the time it opens next

November 19, 20, 21. *
Shell' on Marriages and
Family Added in Library

families is the library's latest spe
cial shelf, located at the circula
tion desk. The shelf was especially
prepared by Karl W. Onthank,

by Mowrer, “Marriage" by De
Pomerai. and "Modern Youth and
Marriage" by Henry Neumann.
Famous Mon Eat l)r. Hall’s
Favorite Food, Letter Says
Dr. Hull is not the only one who
indulges in chocolate as an energy
builder, for according to a letter
written to the Emerald by H. A.
Cuppy, manufacturer of Dr. Hall's
favorite brand, President Hoover
relies on this chocolate between
meals and always keeps some in
his desk drawer. He discovered it
during the war. Other famous men
who have come to depend on this
stimulant are Colonel Charles G.
Dawes and Sir George Duckworth
of Tye's Cross, England, who send
to San Francisco for it.
Mr. Cuppy himself has discov
ered that this food does him the
most good and consumes an aver
age of half a pound a day. He
claims his present godd health is
due to it.

Coburg Bridge in
Art School Shop
Back of the artistically molded
vases, plates, and pottery in the
art building, in a small shop, is a
large machine. Huge beams ar<*
piled about, and much debris is
scattered around. It is here that
Professor E. H. McAlister of the
mechanics department is testing
Coburg bridge.
Big beams are hauled from the
bridge to the shop. A log is placed
on the machine, the motor started,
and a steel slab is slowly pressed
down upon, the log until it breaks.
Scales measure the weight neces
sary to break the beam. Then the
logs are cut into small pieces, each
to be smashed on the machine and
tested.
“We have tested all of the large
beams,” Professor McAlister re
ports, "and we are now breaking
them up into smaller pieces. It
will take us until after Christmas
to finish this work.”
Professor McAlister tested Hay

Women Offered
Chance for Study
At Villa Collina
Eminent Men To Speak on
International Problems
Of Their Lands
A fine opportunity is offered, to
Oregon women students for super
vised study and travel abroad at
the Villa Collina Ridente in Flor
ence, Italy, under the direction of
Miss Edith M. May. This institu
tion is approved by the Institute
of Education, under the direction
of Stephen P. Duggan, educator.
This year’s work at the Villa
combines lectures, round-table dis
cussions, something of the tutorial
system, papers by the students,
and first-hand observations in var
ious cities and countries. One of
the features of the Centre is the
coming of eminent men from var
ious parts of Europe to lecture up
on their own lands and upon in
ternational questions.
The permanent staff is drawn
from the schools of economic and
social sciences and of history and
literature of the University of
Florence. Lectures are given in
English, French and Italian. Fur
ther instruction is offered in
French, Italian and German, and
these languages are used in the
daily life of the villa.
Travel Included
The study is completed by trav
el. The first study trip, of several
weeks, is to various parts of Italy;
the second, of a month, to Austria,
Czechoslovakia, Germany, France
and Switzerland. In each city op
portunity is given to meet eminent
men who interpret the questions
relative to their nations.
A week is taken in the study of
the League of Nations at Geneva.
This study is made possible by the
aid of the director of the Geneva
School of International Studies.
Qualifications High
The school is open to those stu
dents who have high scholastic
standing, well-balanced interests,
and who desire the deeper insight
and broader international outlook
which characterize this type of
study.
The sum which the Centre asks
is based strictly upon the cost, and
is exceedingly moderate.
