Announcement

SATURDAY. morning at nine o'clock, we shall open
for business in our new banking in the Adrch
building.
Saturday afternoon from two to five and Satur-
day evening from seven to nine o'clock, our banking
rooms will be thrown open for public Inspection
Music will be furnished and souvenirs distrib-
uted, and the officers, directors and employees Will
give their time to the public for the afternoon ana
evening.
In this connection it may be proper to say that
these rooms located on a corner which has been so
long associated with the financial history OF the CITY
of Barre are the working out of an ideal IN the lie
of this institution an ideal that may be briefly stated
thus:
Back in 1904, this bank was started in small
way through the united efforts of few OF the city
forward looking business men. 1t was at that time,
and has always since been, committed to policy OF
conservatism In fact many of the friends OF the IN
stituton at that time feared that it was too conserva
tive.
1t is true that through the early years of its
existence its growth was SOW but it was, neverthe-
less, well founded
The wisdom of this policy has long since been
fully justified and the degree of public confidence
which this policy has brought to the bank and the IN
creasing prosperity of its friends and patrons mas
enabled it after years of careful management to so
develop in strength and ability to serve, at all times
giving consideration to the reasonable needs OF the
people to the limit of its ability that it has to-day at
tanned to its cherished ideal-an institution tnat
fairly represents the financial Importance OF the city
and its industry, and banking home that will IN
measure, at least, symbolic the characteristic tnrt
of the people.
You are cordially invited to come in at any time
and we shall be especially pleased to have you share
with us the Joy of this occasion on Saturday after
noon and evening.

Madison, METEOROLOGICAL tests
Of ability for machine shop work evil
denced by freshmen In the college Of
engineering are being undertaken by
the department Of psychology at the

The results of the tests are being
computed by students in vocational
psychology as part Of their work in

managers.
Another set Of tests designed to
gauge journalistic ability is to be CIV
en- to freshmen in the course Of jour-
nalism in conjunction with schools OF
journalism in other universities. These
tests will be given for several success
sive years to determine whether 1t Is
possible to discover latent newspaper
talent through psychology tests.
The system of giving psychological
tests. instead of regular entrance ex-
aminations to students who wish to
enter university, has been tried in
several universities. The idea is that
student who has good mind, but
has insufficient or inferior high school
training, may be advised as to the
lines Of study for which he is best
fitted.
In this regard, the University OF
Wisconsin is giving more specific tests
than most other universities. By Civ
ing a dozen or more tests for the same
results, the psychologists at the uni
versity are determining which tests
| are best. In a small series Of tests
already conducted, however, the re
| suits do not correspond we'll with the
