WOULD CLASSIFY
ARMY OFFICERS
ON EFFICIENCY
DIR. LINDLEY COMPELLED TO DE-
CLINE HIGH HONOR FROM
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

AS an indication of the heavy draft
the federal government is making these
days on educators, the following from
the Boise Statesman of last Sunday
will be of interest:
DIR. Ernest H. Lindley, president OF
the state university, has been COM
PEELED to decline an invitation to serve
on a committee of 10 men that will cias-
sify United States army officers accord
ing to their efficiency. The invitation
came from the research council of the
Council if National Defense.
Some leading psychologists were in
vited by Secretary of War Baker to
make tests to determine the relative
efficiency of certain officers. The ex-
periments, IN de in Washington,
proved so successful that the secretary
urged the extension of the method to
include all officers in the army.
A committee is engaged in improv-
ing the tests and in organizing groups
of trained psychologists to conduct
the examinations. The war department
has enlisted for this work the services
of such men as Dr.. Walter Dill Scott
and w. " Bingham of Carnegie insti-
tute, Dr.. E. H. Thorndike of Column
bia and Professor J. r. Angel OF the
University of Chicago.
DR.. Lindley was invited to serve six
months on the committee. He felt
unable to accept, because of the re-
sponsibilities resting upon him at the
opening of his administration as prcsi-
dent of the university and because he
must help solve the problem of con-
serving crops and increasing produc-
ton.

BY S. S. LEWIS.

Say, hear you the call of the bugle
And hear you the roll of the drum,
And see our boys arm for struggle.
And notice they willingly come?
How noble, how thoughtful their bear
ing,
How calm is the glance of the eye,
AS they to the field are repairing
Come all, now, and bid them goodby
From farm and from shop let US gath
er,
From commerce and gain let us rest,
All envy and rivalry smother
And bring forth the truest and best;
Let us fling out the Star Spangled
Banner
And in the free breeze let 1t ny.
Entrusting its fame and its honor
To our boys and bid them goodby.
We know you are gallant defenders
or every bright star in the folds
OF that banner that never surrenders
To wrongs that a tyrant upholds;
And the cohorts of tyrants defying
On the field you will conquer or die
Meath the banner that Ger you is
Tying
We trust you, we bid you goodby.

Though friends and your kindred
you're leaving,
And all the endearments of peace,
Fond hearts to you closely are cleav-
ing
With a love that never will cease,
And while with the tyrant contending
On their faith and devotion rely,
For with you their love they are send
ing
And weep as.they bid you goodby.
And though you may cross the wide
ocean,
On autocracy's trenches advance,
How grandly will swell your emotion
To see the fair lilieY Of France
Entwined with the folds of Old Glory
In union that never can die
While told is sweet Liberty's story
IT'S for her we bid you goodby.
Where autocracy's bayonets bristle,
Shells rain from hsnlanity's foes,
BY your side is old Scotia's thistle,
BY your side is Albion's rose;
The shamrock of Erin there needing
The down trodden Belgian's cry
You go to aid freedom now bleeding
And our prayers go with you. Good
