Teachers AT Institute Hear
Talks On Scientific Work
In Classroors

The devotional exercises of the
Teachers Institute on Wednesday
morning were in charge of DR.. F. G..
Anderson.
General tests of abilities" was the
subject of DR.. Chancellor's talk. He
told of tests he had made in schools
to test the abilities of pupils as to
whether they are eye-minded or ear
minded, that is, whether they learn
more readily by seeing or by hearing.
Other tests were made TO determine
the mental age of the child, as this
In many cases does not correspond
to his physical age. BY testing In
dividual pupils in this way the teach
er can discover the reason for the
seeming backwardness of the child
and can do much more for him than
she otherwise could.
Dr. Williams spoke on "WhC
Should Teach" Some of the requis
ties of good teacher as given by
him, were scholarship, individuality
personality, general sympathy fol
childhood, spirit of joyousness, ant
the ability to awaken the soul of the
child.

Germans out Of an important wood and
also strengthened their positions at
Mount Renaud. This attack was under
taken by a small number of poilus,

PARIS. April 6.-Maurice Barres. writ
ing in the Echo de Paris, asks II Gen.
Foch in addition to commanding the al
lied armies has authority to direct in
dustrial effort. He says:
America should be persuaded at all
costs to hasten the aviation program.
All automobile factories can build aero
planes. America was paramount in
automobile manufacture and could
easily be paramount in the manufac-
ture of aeroplanes. Moreover. the Ameri-
cans all have love Of athletics and a
mechanical turn which enables them
rapidly to become good pilots and
mechanics"
NJ. Barres claims that 1000 aeroplanes,
constituting a supplementary fleet.
could crush the German aviation serv-
ice, crush the LThionville (Diedhofen)
and Briey steel mills and crush even
the Rhine towns as far as Stuttgart.
THE Americans" he adds. ARE capable
of producing them, but who can per-
suade them to hasten their completion? ?'
He thereupon returns to the question
Of whether Gen. Foch has this power.

BATTLE IN THE AMIENS AREA
MAY BECOME A SECOND VERDUN

The Germans are continuing their
plunging tactics in the Amiens battle
area, with their operation rapidly de-
veloping into a greatly magnified
Verdun.
The similarity with the classic ex-
ample Of a German attempt to beat
down an enemy by sheer force is daily
growing. This development obtrudes
itself not only because Of the narrow
ing of the area involved in the attack
and the practice OF hurting great mass
es of troops at the defenders of a mar
row front, regardless Of sacrifices, but
by reason of the newly developed ten
dency, to alternate the attacks, with
rest periods for one sector while the
other is in action.
Thus. yesterday the main attack was
delivered on the allied center, after the
