owes It's support. it should be able to show how the
theoretical work Of the laboratory can be applied to
the lettering Of human conditions.
The agricultural and the engineering experiment sta.
tons at the university have been attempting to give the
practical men of the state information in regard to the
best means OF preventing wastes and of obtaining the
greatest efficiency in the various fields OF their endeavor
A similar attempt is being made by the department OF
psychology of the university to show to the schoomen
of the state how they save time and how they can
regulate the environment of the school to get the
greatest results with the least possible expenditure of
energy.
All knowledge is based fundamentally upon memory
and it is quite obvious that if the most economical meth
DDS Of learning discovered and applied tremendous
wastes in the schoolroom will be saved 1t is striking
fact that most students who to the university do
not know how to properly memorze their material They
lose very large amount of time that might be saved
greatly to their advantage II they had the simple knowl
edge of how to about their work before them What
is true of the university student is undoubtedly true
even to greater degree OF the pupils in the public
schools. 1t is clear that II the teachers knew what
the best method by which the pupil could memorize
certain material and could train that pupil in such meth
DDS of memory highly beneficial results would be
plshed
Working along this line some years ago the depart
ment of psychology at Illinois instituted series Of
experiments to determine far possible the exact
facts concerning what is technically know the idea

types the memorizing OF different kinds of material.

Route for the
New Boulevard
Will Connect Bemis Park with Miller
Park Along Edge Of the

Nearly $4,000 will be expended to buy
land for the new boulevard which Will con-
meet Bemis park with Miller park.
The Park Boaro always spends about
that amount" said city Engineer Craig
because we are limited by the charter to
$4,000 and by spending just that much at
a time we can build anything we want In
several sections This new boulevard Is
planned to run from near Thirty eighth
and Hamilton in a northeasterly direction
TO Thirty-third and spalding and from
there will go straight north. This route
takes II just back OF Fort Omaha along the
brow OF that hill and that part Of the road
will have a very slightly location. On the
other side of the fort 1t will run down to
Miller park.
THE first $4,000 will be used merely to
get possession of the land necessary and
then the improvements will be made over
a period of years. None of the boulevards
in Omaha are really finished yet and we
expect to make them all much better every
year that we work on them.
THE new boulevard is not known as the
North Central, but that ~ merely a name
of convenience and will probably be
