Alaska a Good Investment.

This year the Alaska salmon catch

enormous use in solving the great prob

most important OF all materials in the
WaEing of modern war and there is
now copper shortage which is espe-
clally acute in the enemy countries.
but which is felt also in the allied
camp. Alaska has immense deposits
OF copper. Coal also is one of the pri-

Alaska is full of coal, most of it as yet
untouched.

Germany-a stroke which made the

most striking example Of territorial
transfers which seemed of trivial inn
portance at the time but which sub

P|T|ES THE TIGHT WADS"

Ihe following communication from
father who gave his son for his
country, to the tight wads who can
see nothing bigger than loss in inter-

the appeal to the better nature Of

Moscow, Idaho, October 18-Edi-
tor -Mirror.-My Dear Editor:
Ever since the fourth Liberty loan
drive started have been hearing the
matter discussed by men in our town
and quite often in complaining way
and evidently expecting some one to
sympathize with them in the sacrifice
that they are called upon to make.
II met one poor old soul who seems
e be occupied in mental calcula-
ton, subtracting 4 IA from 7 and
multiplying it by some number not
so very large and actually lamenting
over the financial loss to him and he
told me that he could see where he
was going to be real hard up for a
whole year to come. My feeling to-
ward such men is not one Of SYM
pathy. | pity them from the depth
OF my heart. Mr.. Editor, | can tel
you why | don't have any sympathy
for such creatures.

from our home a strong, cheerful, |
willing boy; sent him over with that |
hope, and others have done the same !

their troubles about their lost 2 3-4
per cent
1--WE are more fortunate in our
home, for we can look forward to the
time when Uncle Sam will fulfill his
promise to US and in our old days,
if we are permitted to live to that
time, we can visit our boys grave
and with that sad pride, think of him
as the bright, smiling lad that has
done something worth while.
81 pity these stingy old tight-wads
who try to tell me their troubles.
Their 2 ga per cent is lost to them
forever, and they can only think of
it floating around this wicked old
world and will not come back in any
form.
what l think of them is this:
That when they go from this life

have their lost ga per, but they
will be out of luck for Uncle Sam

The University of Idaho has been
very conservative in this matter. Not
until very careful study was made
of other institutions, and it was found
that psychology constituted fourth
or more on the average for teacher s
training, were the requirements put
into effect.
The faculty has passed motion
authorizing the Department of Psy-
chology, which is under Prof. H. R..
Reed, to give mental test, some
time during the year to all students
and S. A. T. C. men. Just at pres
! ent Mr.. Reed is awaiting instructions
from the war department.
The army has found the need of
grading soldiers according to their
ability for three things: First, to
eliminate, in advance, those men who
are incapacitated for military duties;
second, to put each soldier in the
right place; and third, to pick out Of
| ficer material. These problems are
being solved by psychologists, who
give mental test. This test, which
requires only three quarters of an
hour, can be given to fifty soldiers
at once. 1t measures very accurately
the ability of the men, and gives the
officers method of placing them in
their rightful positions without delay.
The advantages of the test will be
even greater for the college students
because it will enable the teachers
to grade the students in classes ac-
cording to their ability, and to give
them work of which they are most
capable Of doing. A very bright stu
cent can do twice as much work as
an aver age one, and an average oneI
can do twice as much as dull one
By this test, failures may be elimi- |
of time and money, and the bright
it is of great economic value to par
ers.
Professor Reed says the enrolment
in the department, this year is about
double that of former years.
