D. c. PUPILS ABOVE

iCaI Research Director
After Years Work.
COOKE SCHOOL HIGHEST
Saving of Time for Competent
Children Effected, Is
Claim.

The psychological tests in educa-
tional research and measurement in
troduced in the District public schools
last year have proved unusually sue
cessful and effected great savings, ac-
cording to the annual report of Miss
Jessie La Sale, director of the work
and supervising principal of the
second division.
Although the returns of the tests
given in the second division have not
been completely checked and tabulat
ed, Miss La Sale said that the re-
suits thus far indicate that the chill
dren of Washington have abnormal
mentality.
More than 5000 children were test
ed and measured in the second di-
vision, and the average "co- efficiency
of intelligence" resulted as follows:
Cooke School, I1225 per cent: Den
nison School. 100.S9 per cent: Morgan
School, 111.S9 per cent, and Ross
School, 1860 per cent. The aver
age high type of mentality is rated
at 100 per cent.
Saving of Time for Pupils.
Miss La Sale pointed out that in
the second DIVISION alone tne teStS
effected a great saving of time for
competent pupils. Three hundred and
seventy-six pupils in that division
received lone semester extra promo
tion; nine received year and half,
while others received promotions
which expedited their progress in
school. These promotions saved 537
semester hours to the rapid pupils
and also saved, according to Miss La
Sale, the salaries of nine teachers
for a full year who would nave
otherwise been needed to teach these
children what they already knew"
The report shows that the men
tality tests cost the public $2s1. .49
for materials. and $216.50 for clerical
help. OF the total cost of the first
wears work, parent-teacher associa-
tions paid $S56.19. while the research
fund which women's clubs raised to
bring Miss La Sale to Washington
amounted to $3.50.

MARKET PROSPECTS PLEASING


Oil men who are interested in the
Kevin field are delighted with the
prospect of strong market for all
oil that can be produced in the north
ern fields. The completion of the
Sinclair pipe line from Casper to
Kansas City, an undertaking which
costs $2,000,000 and can move 10000
barrels of oil per day, is almost GER
tain to take a very large proportion
of the Wyoming crude to eastern mar
kets, and thereby effect very con-
siderable saving in freight charges.
This oil that will go east has here
tofore gone to Canada and it's new
routing means that Montana oil will
have a premier place in the markets
of Montana and Canada, fact that
causes everyone interested in the
northern fields to feel sanguine as to
the future of the industry. The re-
suit is being felt in the north already,
where number of concerns are a.
bout to commence drilling.

DRY FORKS OIL OF HIGH
GRADE, CLAIM VISITORS

More than 1000 visitors viewed
the Dry Forks we'll near Conrad Sun
day, according to reports of Great
Falls oil men, who returned from
there early Monday morning. They
declare that an examination of the oil
found in the Madison lime at depth
of 2,746 feet shows that it contains
considerable lubricating oil contents
and that it is of high grade. The
crew stopped drilling late Sunday af-
ternoon, and when the Great Falls
visitors left the we'll, there was a.
bout 40 feet of oil in the hole.
Several oil men stated Sunday night
that in the event the oil was proved
to have come from below the sulphur
water, and that the oil found was
Similar to that of the Kevin field, it
would probably mean resumption of
drilling at several holes in the latter
field which were abandanded last
year when sulphur water was struck.

The Sylvester Oil company's No. l

drilled into production Sunday, ac-
cording to information received from
the field.
Production was found in the Ellis,

feet, and the oil was rising at the

port. The sand is about 18 feet
thick and very tight. They expect
to shoot the well to improve produc-
tion. This we'll is located east of the
Empire group, and to the southeast
of the Sweeney and Bitter Creek
wells. There was no water in the
hole, and all indications are that this
will be a good producer after the

OPERATORS ADMIT PRESENT
OUTPUT HIGH BUT FEAR NO
MATERIAL REDUCTION.

! Shelby, April 4.-Flush production
from the wells in the Kevin field fol
lowing the resumption of pumping or
April l, is of volume that tends to
bear out the prediction, frequently
made since the discovery weII was
brought in, that the producing horiz-
ons are Of the type that make for
long life. Men scienced in the oil in
dustry say that the hydrostatics
which caused rapid accumulation when
the wells first were completed still is
present without any evidence of les
sened volume.
What the permanent production
will be after the flush which accumr-
lated during the shutdown has sub
sided cannot be exactly forecast, but
operators have said that the flow
cannot be expected to continue at The
present rate. Material reductions,
however, are not indicated by any de-
velopment since the wells were again
placed on the pumps.
Daily production Of more than g.
200 barrels has been measured from
the SO wells Of the Sunburst interests
as the average output since pumping
was resumed at these properties on
March 8. With production having
been continuously taken over a per-
iod of month, it is considered that |
these wells may be accepted as a |
fairly accurate indication of the way
the other producers will hold up.
This production is considerably |
better than was anticipated.
The shutdown through the winter
has served one valuable purpose, in
that it has proved, as many geolog
lists were convinced, that the field is
If the. long lived type. This could \
not be effectively demonstrated be-
ore the shutdown, but there no long
n is question that the field will
,roduce for a period much longer than
he average territory.
Since the renpning of tn fild, the
)hio- Baker we'll has retained it's rep
tation as the greatest producer In
he field. During the first 16 hours
fter the pump was started, the
rell filled seven and one-half $50
arrel tanks, total production for

Strange Trustee For

ton advertised with the names
of candidates competeing. The
ballots at the election Saturday
were written out on type writ

lsgal form? The judges of the
