1t was discovered yesterday after
noon that the man lives in Rockland

$4,000 DREDGING JOB AT
0NT0NAG0N IS AW ARDED

Yesterday a $4,000 contract for the
dredging of Ontonagon harbor on the
south shore was let by the govern
ment to the Northern Dredge & DocR
company of Duluth, says the Duluth
| News-Tribune. a working force will
be sent out this evening To begin the
work.
This is a very important piece Of
work and a contract that must be
started upon at once. At the entrance
90 the harbOr there has been formed a
number of shoals, which will not per-
nit boats leaving or entering the en-
closure. AS there are many boats
waiting the opening of this harbor IL
is imperative that the work be done as
quickly as possible.
The firm to which the contract was
awarded will start it's men on the way
10 the harbor this evening and by June
l il is expected the entire job of dredg-
ing will be completed and the harboI
again a free channel.
ON Monday next the government
will open the bids for the dredging OF
St Louis bay. This is "A big lump OF
work and $4,000 will be expended 10
the work. There are many dredgin
companies bidding for the work bu
the successful one will not be decided
upon until next week. 1t will then
take another week for Tn,
dredge companies to get into shape tc
start the work.

children In Urbana, Champaign,
Bloomington. Danville and in some Of
the normal schools Of the state have
been tested to determine certain con-
ditions under which they learn most
advantageously. One Of the questions
asked in these Investigations has been
this: Suppose the child is given some
thing to learn and is asked to recall Il
later on, under what conditions during
the interval between learning and re-
call will his memory be most retenI
tive? The data obtained has been so
extensive that II has not been COM
pletely worked over as yet. Some
very interesting conclusions. how.
ever, have been reached-among these
this, that writing serves as great
distraction and that the child can re-
call material better when the interval
Is filled with such strenuous activity
as number work, than when 1t 10
filled with the writing of some famil-
lar phrase, as "My Country. It's OF
Thee!' The greater distracting ten
dency of writing than Of other school
occupations shows itself particularly
In the lower grades. 1t has also been
found out that when young children
are required to learn by keeping per-
fectly still they are at a disadvantage.
II you wish to have the child learn UNI
der the most disadvantageous condf
tions, require that child to keep per
fectly still.

of Illinois clearly show that oral COM

1t doubtless makes a good deal
of difference just what sort OF i'm
agery the school child uses In
memorizing his material, as to
whether the best results are to
be obtained or not and 1t is obvi-
ously important that the teacher
should know the character of this
imagery II he Is to deal adequate
ly with the pupil. The results of
the experiments by the depart
ment of psychology at the Univer-

that most children In the begin
ming grades of the school think
predominantly in terms of OBJ
jects seen, that is, they possess
concrete visual imagery and prob
ably, to a certain extent, also con.
crete auditory and motor imagery
as well. Later on this concrete
form Of imagining dies out. They
think in terms of words and the
