Dr. Otis gave faculty members his
latest tests OF mental ability in order
that the teachers could learn best

dress to the teachers on this subject.
we have always recognized that
different children have different abil'
ity, but have not provided for this
although We admit it exists" DR.
Otis said.
Suggests Plans.
He suggested that the plan Of group
ing children in three groups in terms
of their ability should be carried out
and that each group be given a course
of study according TO their ability,
that the slow group be given the
minimum essentials, that the fast
group an enriched curriculum in which
they would also cover the work more
rapidly, so that any child will be
given just as much work as he is
capable of doing.
According to this plan each child is
expected to do his own best and is
rewarded for doing his best. The
children of lesser ability are prompted
when they have done their best for
they deserve just as much credit, DR.
Otis said. as a brighter child, ''in fact
to do our best, is all one can do.
he said.
Mr.. Otis gave a number of sug
gestions which will be followed il

Originator of Tests.
The visit Of Mr.. Otis to Ardmor'
schools is of great importance. Ard
more public schools are the onl!
ones in this entire section OF th
country Mr.. Otis visited during hi
southwestern trip and his presenc'
here was due solely to the efforts
of Mr.. Richards who has recognized
the value of student classification fol
many years and who has worked un
tiringly to carry on the work sue
cessfully here.
Mr.. Otis was the originator of groul
intelligence tests. He was on tn
Board of Psychology for the War De
partment during the war and was re
tanned by the department as Dc

of his time following the war. H

Investigation has shown that ac.

as among h big Four of the

Belief is expressed that an invecti-

getting loans by their actions.
Farmers Furious.
George hester. a farmer living two
miles south of Rhame, applied for d
loan. The bank department wrote
Carl Anderson, register Of deeds, ask
Ing for a report of any. mortgages
against the land. He replied and
then volunteered the opinion that the
land was not worth more than $12 an
acre and that it would not sell for
that amount. Appraisers found the
land worth more than this amount.

PEACHES BEING

Chinese Variety Raised at
Mandan Station is Being
Improved.

Mandan, N. D., June 26.-Growins
peaches in North Dakota is not an i'm
possibility. The experiment station
of b United States government here
Is demonstrating that it is possible
to nave peaches thrive up on the
highlands of western North Dakota.
To be sure, they are Chinese peaches,
and the ripened fruit is not a rival Of
the Michigan and Maryland product,
but nevertheless il is a peach, and il
the painstaking carr of the horticul-
turalists avail, the present plants at
he Great Plains station may be the
~forefathers of some celebrated brand
Of freeze defying fruit.
The Chinese peach lis a large stone
n a small skim to use one descrip.
ton of the fruit, but it is hardy in
this climate. in fact 1t grows luxuri-
antly and flowers in some years quite
p~rofusely. The plants at the. Great
Plains station will be used in cross
ing with better grades of fruit, in an
enort to raise q peach that will live
in North Dakota winters and produce
a fruit that is of culinary or CONNER
cial value.
At Work on Other Fruits.
The peach is only one of many va
rieties of fruit that the station is at
tempting to better by methods of Sc
lect1On and eeoln for improvement.
The infinite pains needed in this work
is shown by some experiments in the
process of development at this time,
The W largest are with native plums
n native grapes, thousands Of these
plants are set out and allowed to grow
untih two or three crops have beer
produced. Sometimes, none show
promise and it is necessary to pull up
the plants of an entire experiment.
Sometimes a few plants out Of a
thousand are Of sufficient merit, the
average of plants saved for future ex-
perimental work being about one
tenth of one per cent
The better plants are then crossed
with the more hardy of the domestic
varieties, in the hope that from this
cross a plant may spring with the

Bismarck, N. D., June 26.--If the
election goes right and there u the
expected big ere In North Dakota
there will be a genuine boom inathle
state. in the belief of C. r. Crane.
manager of the Bank of North
kota, long a resident Of the state. and.
known as a conservative business mani
Mr.. Greene makes his prediction -
a result of contact with out OF state
interests and conditions through cOr-s$
respondence and visits of out-of-state
people. Unfavorable advertising,
which North Dakota formerly receiyS-.
ed has turned to favorable advertisss,
ing. That there is much to do in
selling North Dakota to the rest
of the country is indicated. according
to MI. Greene, by the action Of =
man, in a small city in New Ycrxl
state who sought to cash a warrant
with the Bank Of North Dakota. Mr.
Greene forwarded a check and 9
ceived it back with the statement that
the man would not take a North Da-
kota check because everyone Is all
wrong"
Within the last week MrI Greene
has received information that a fed
eral joint stock land bank of the Twin
Cities has again entered the farm
loan business in eastern North Da-3
kota. The placing of much outside
money in III state through various
agencies has been reflected in a gen
eral easing of conditions. he says. 4.
Regardless of personal views. ac-
cording to MIR. Greene. there is ample
evidence that if North Dakota Is to
