UNIVERSITY OF OREGON — Eu
gene—Nov.----- (Special)—The uses of
standard tests and scales by the school
administrator is described in an article
in the Oregon Educational Journal for
November by Dr. Harl R. Douglass, pro
fessor of education of the University
of Oregon.
Practical purposes for the use of
testa by the school administrator are
listed by Dr. Douglass as follows:
Stock-taking and the measurement of
annual production.
Supervision of the course of study
and the teaching staff.
Diagnosis and the improvement of
inst ruction.
ic improvement of the classifiea-
of pupils into homogeneous groups
the purpose of instruction,

TUBERCULOSIS IS
BEING ERADICATED
While more than one million dairy
cattle, out of thirty million heud test
ed for tuberculosis, have been de
stroyed, the industry Is In better con

when the campaign against the dis
ease was inaugurated, Such was the
R.
opinion expressed by Dr. John
.
Molder, chief of the bureau I of ani
null industry, United States Depart
meat of Agriculture, at the recent
Eastern States Tuberculosis confer
ence.
Fear expressed by many people in
the beginning that the campaign would
turn the public taste against milk con
sumption has proved to be unfounded,
according to Doctor Mohler. On the
other hand, he said, the annual con
sumption of milk in the United States
has increased more than 49 quarts
per capita since 1918. During 1926 the
public consumed fifty-six billion
pounds of milk and cream, an in
crease of two billion pounds over the
quantity consumed in 1925.
Skepticism as to the outcome of the
campaign has given way to a feeling
of assured success. Today the subject
of tuberculosis eradication is popular
and there are few individuals con
nected with the dairy industry who
have not expressed publicly or private
ly. their belief in the success of the
campaign.
Although we have reached the point
where we can look forward to the
time when this disease will no longer
be the cause of serious lo<s«x. Doctor

High Scoring Butter Is
Necessary for Success
The difference in price between lilgb
and low butter makes it imperative
for co-operative creameries to produce
a high scoring butter in order to make
a success of their enterprise.
Good butter can never be made from
poor cream. No matter how skillful
the buttermaker may be, he can never
expect to place high scoring butter on
the market if lie must churn cream
which has been practically spoiled
through careless handling.
It is not a difficult problem to keep
cream clean and sweet. Cows should
be clean and healthy and stabled In a
well ventilated, well cared for barn.

Give Daily Cows Plenty
Water for Best Results
Dairy cows should be watered at
least twice a day and best results are
obtained when cows can have water
at will. The higher the production
the greater the benefit to be derived
from frequent watering. A heavy pro
ducing cow requires from 75 to 150
pounds of water daily.
When It is not available, many suc
cessful dairymen have arranged some
type of tank heater to remove the
chill from the water, and they find
that their cows drink more and pro-
luce more heavily.
