Drowsiness in Church.

Why bald heads nod in church, to
the great annoyance of ministers has
been discovered by. Ralph Eyre of
Osceola, Iowa, a senior electrical engi-
neering student in the State univer-
sity. Mr. Eyre has found the scien-
tiflc basis for the fact that bald headed
men are prone to fall asleep in church
and he has found the rer.edy for this
unfortunate fact - glazing light be
fore the eyes is sure 70 produce Grow-

bald heads and negligible eyebrows
are less protected from glazing lights
than those blessed with abundant hair
Women who wear hats that shade

awake. A little care in placing lights
in church will have all the differ

Madison.-During the next decade
the chief advance in education viii
be made In the direction of devising
units or scales of measurement and
standards OF achievement for school
work." was the declaration of Prof.
NJ. v. O'Shea of the University Of Wis
consin, in an address before the Wis
consin Superintendents and Supervis-
ing Principals association at the con-
Guiding session Of a two days meeting
in Milwaukee.
He said that throughout the world
men are investigating ways and means
of determining the stage Of mental
development of pupils so that they can
accurately locate individuals in their
school course.
"A boy may be ten years old physi-
cally, but only eight or nine years old
mentally" he said. THE practise has
been to group all children together.
Accepting to their physical age, but
the demand for precision and efici-
eney in education Is leading people TO
classify on a different basis that OF
native ability"
Professor o'shea gave the results
Of extensive investigations that have
been made on the school children OF
| Madison in the attempt to devise
measuring scales for intelligence.
| Charts presenting the results of these
7 investigations showed that such a
/ scale could be used. Professor O'Shea
| showed that in some schools pupils
differed in native intelligence by five
years. Efficient work in the school
room requires that a well-endowed pu-
pill should be permitted to work
through the grades as fast as posi-.
BILE, and not be held back by those
whose intelligence is distinctly In
ferior.
The superintendents and principals
we're told that experiments would be
| continued In Madison, in the hope of
finding an accurate scale for measur-
Ing not only the intelligence, but the
executive ability. the power of leader
ship, and the dominant traits OF tenn
| permanent OF pupils. The speaker
| said investigators were working on
/ this In this and foreign countries.
Other speakers were Prof. e. c. Ell
liott. Madison, THE Survey and It's
Value" Inspector II. L. Terry, Madi-
son, who spoke on suggestion for
the six years high school.
The report of the committee on
high school dormitories was read by
n. W. Waite OF Jefferson because OF
the Illness Of p r. Neverman of New
| Richmond The report showed that
tho majority OF high schools see the
need of better dormitory facilities for
nonresident pupils. 1t also cited as
harmful selfboarding of pupils, saying
that some go home Friday night and
bring edibles enough on Monday TO
| last them throughout the week.
