Tn. Texas Arizonians

The day after the election, among the com ments by the returns was one made by iocal wit: I'm glad to see Arinzona has at last been divorced from Texas"
 He had in mind the large number of former residents of Texas who within period from the earliest settlement of the territory to the present time have moved into Arizona, and have until last Tuesday consistently voted the democratic ticket They have mostly been residents of the southeastern counties.
 We suppose that if could group all the voters now in Arizona representing the states whence they came we would find that the former Texans con tributed in a greater degree to the overturn An interesting circumstance and not easily painable has had something do with their part in the overturn There may be in it something that we may call parental influence, and if so, Arizona is not so divorced from Texas may be supposed.
 Sometime ago we called attention to the dis affection in Texas toward Democracy that is to- ward the present Democratic administrations That .as induced by the neglect of the Texas Mexico border and partly by interference by the na tional administration in state politics There was general resentment against President Wilson, so strong that even an in Texas as impossible as 1t might seem, thought to be within the range of possibility Many Texans who had never voted anv other than the straight Democratic ticket de- cared their intention to the Republican national ticket We know of several Arizona Texans who re- ceived letters from friends at their old homes telling tbcu of the changed sentiment there and suggesting the advisability of a revolution at the polls
 A lot of Texas -Arizonans appear to have acted
 this advice.

health service has been giving this kind of treatment, it has found the effect on morale to be no small part of the value of the work done
 The public health service has in it's charge all the ex-soidiers who need treatment for physical disability. When these men were in the army hospitals they were under orders and could not go home or back to camp until discharged by the surgeon. Now. the men in care of the public health service are civilians, and have the right of civilians to leave the hospital even against the doctors advice (that is, unless they are mental patients).
 Some of the men have been leaving sooner than they should because they tired of the monotony of hospital life, or because they thought they could improve as rapidly at home or even at work. Something to do' in these cases has proved available first aid toward keeping them contented.

rh. nefeat of chamn clark

The defeat sustained by Champ Clark not the first in his congressional career MT Clark down 1894, mid year in the second Cleveland ad ministration. A financial depression affecting country politicians neither party perceived how it was affecting the temper the people. The silver craze which to reach the height of it's intensity couple of years later. was spreading at the same time There already a good deal of Democratic dissatisfaction with the Cleveland ad- ministraton MT. Clark not opposed to the free coinage of silver and Richard P. Bland of another Missouri district certainly was not but he too was retired that year.
 Whether both of these eminent Democrats bndly slaughtered whether they became victims to popular Democratic indignation against CIeve- whom they also trying to support cannot be said.
 But the defeat Of MT. Clark was then more un- expected than 1t was last Tuesday The old Ninth Missourt-embracing the famous county of Pike was reliably Democratic that the Republicans had offered more than perfunctory opposition to the Democratic candidates for congress They con- tented themselves with filling ticket with any who would consent to self sacrifice
 That year there led to the altar man, now then, unknown fame. Whatever local reputa- tion he enjoyed solely on the fact that he could play a violin. He was by no means vir- tuosof-merey a fiddler.
 He incidentally elected-that is to say MT. Clark elected to stay home, and the fiddler went to congress. The Congressional Record of the ensuing years did not indicate that he was mak- ing a great stir there.
 That not far from the beginning of Mr. Clarks national and two years later the Ninth district sent him back to Washington. But his defeat Tuesday probably marked the end of his public career He is no longer young and vigor- and two years added his winters will almost certainly leave him no longer available

 Over 5000 patients. or about one- third of those m 45 government hospi- tals, are taking occupational therapy now under the supervision of 250 re- construction aides and a few tech nicians. There are six more public health service hospitals which have not started the treatment, because competent aides are scarce and the government is taking no others. It's regulations demand that to be an aide a woman must be a graduate of a col lege or normal or art school. and she must be an experienced teacher of arts and crafts, or of academic and commercial subjects. or in case appli- cants are not able to show graduation from an institution of recognized standing. they must show three years training, including at least 200 hours l training fin the type of work they ex- pect to do in service hospitals.

STANDARD TEST
 PLAN INTRODUCED
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
Conway Institution to Inaugurate System of Educational Measure
 ments for Schools.

The interest in educational measure ments has grown to such an extent that the Normal School, through it's extension department, will give help Tn this work to the teachers in any of the schools in the state who desire it. This help will be given in either of two ways: CD The course in educa- tlonal measurements may be taken for credit by any individual teacher working alone. (2) In the case of schools that desire to put on a sur vey Of the entire school, instructions will be given for carrying on the work, and teacher from the Normal School will go and help in the direction of the work as occasion demands.
 Work of the latter kind is now being carried on with such degree of sue cess that the Normal School is war ranted in believing that any system of schools can survey itself at practically no expense, while the value of such a survey to teachers, pupils and school systems IS far in excess of the time
 
 of such survey by means of stan dard educational tests lies not only in the fact that the standing of the school system as compared with other schools IS found, but to a much larger degree In the knowledge of their pupils, meth ods of teaching and an understand ing of educational measurements, which the teachers gain. It is not the purpose of the Normal School to send some one into the school to examine ing around awhile. The purpose is to train teachers to do their own "look- ing over the school" so that they can do 1t in a scientific manner and tell just how it stands as compared with other schools. For this reason the Normal School simply helps the teach CT do the work for himself the first time, and then the teacher can do it as often as he likes by himself
 Educational measurement work has stage. Not only do all the normal schools have courses in this work. but the large universities of the country like Chicago, Harvard and Columbia pay much attention to the work giving several different courses each term in this work. The State Normal School of Kansas sends out more than one million test blanks of one kind and another each year. Nearly all the large cities of the country have been surveyed by means of such tests. Heretofore, the cost of getting an ex- pert to come and do the work has been beyond the reach of small schools. The plan of the Normal School is to teach the teacher to do the work him self, and that at practically no cost
