service to the state in which it is situated which it owes it's support it should be able show how the theoretical work of the laboratory be applied to the betering of human conditions
 The agricultural the engineering experiment tions at the university have been attempting give the practical of the state information in regard to the best of preventing of obtaining the greatest efficiency in the various fields of their endeavor
 similar attempt is being made by the department of psychology of the university to show to the schoomen of the state how they can time and how they regulate the environment of the school get greatest results with the least possible expenditure of energy
 All knowledge is based fundamentally upon memory and It Is quite obvious that if the economical meth ods of learning discovered applied wastes in the schooroom will be saved. striking fact that most students who to the university not know how properly memorize their material They lose large amount of time that might be saved greatly to their advantage they had the simple knowl edge of how go about their before them. What is true of the university student is undoubtedly true to greater degree of the pupils in the public schools It is clear that the teachers what the best method by which the pupil could memorize certain material and could train that pupil in meth ods of memory highly beneficial results would be plished.
 Working along this line years ago the depart ment of psychology at Illinois instituted series of experiments determine as possible the exact facts concerning what is technically as the idea tonal types children relation of these types to the memorizng of different kinds of material By the ideaonal type the psychologist understands the sort of mental imagery in which person thinks-for a do so by having mental picture of the bird a vs- ble object he may recall the bird in of the that 1t sings It Is further possible that he may not in thinking of the bird it mentally recall it's but that he merely the word bird, written hear it spoken, attempt to pronounce it himself If he actually the bird in his minds eye he to have concrete visual imagery If he hears song that sings mentally he is said to have tory imagery. If he not the bird but the word he is said to have verbalvisonary imagery, if instead of seeing the word hearing it he simply has the tai imagery of pronouncng the word he is said verbalmotor imagery
 It Is then possible for the person in his ordinary thinking employ either concrete imagery in which he recalls the actual object presented through of his to employ verbal imagery in which latter he does not recall the object at all, but in which recalls printed symbol for that object visual, auditory motor terms It is possible also to have only visual auditory imagery but to have concrete motor imagery we'll person, for example, in mentally recalling foot race may think of the he appears ready for the starting sig na he may think of the starting signal, finally he may think of the muscular sensations which running the In this latter he would think of the in terms of concrete motor imagery
 Probably the football player in recalling the exper of the game in which he has taken part, does not the plays the spectator from the grand which he makes in executing them
