SPEAKER STRESSES
NEED OF RESEARCH
Says Universities Should
Turn SearchIight on
Own Activities.

Although the universities have al.
ways been the home Of research. they
have been exceedingly slow to turn
the searchlight Of research upon
themselves" F. J. Kelly, dean of ad.
ministration Of the University of Min
nesota, declared this afternoon in an
address before the National Society
Of College Teachers of Education.
meeting In Corcoran Hall
Mr. Kelly said: standards Of meas
urement have been devised to check
up the work Of the elementary
schools. and TO some extent the high
schools, but to almost no extent have
these things been applied to college.
No unit OF tho educational system is
more in need Of research concerning
its own organization, administration
and methods Of teaching than Is the
college.
Falls Under Three Heads.
Noted research falls under three
distinct heads. We need research to
determine the values Of the activities
engaged In by students outside Of the
classroom. 1t is charged that stu
dents get credits in their classroom.
but get their education outside. We
need to have some method of deter
mining the extent OF truth Of such a
statement. We need measures of
achievement.
These are along the lines OF
psychological and sociological investi.
cations, in which aims are defined and
measures Of achievement in terms OF
those aims worked out. Almost moth
ing has been done so far to determine
such measures. We need research In
the financial administration Of higher
education. We need studies Of cost
analysis. such as the one made by
Mr.. Stevens of the University of
Washington and Mr.. Elliot Of Purdue
University"
Fundamental Studies Topic.
Charles H. Judd of the University
Of Chicago made a plea for funda-
mental studies which he described as
being necessary to find out the kind
OF conscious processes that are IN
duced in pupils by arithmetic, read
ing. handwriting and the other school
subjects"
Thoms H. Briggs of the Teachers
College. Columbia University, New
York City. declared the primary need
In secondary education Is for an ac-
ceptable philosophy rather than for
research. S. A."Courtis, University of
Michigan: Ernest Horn, University of
Iowa, and Fletcher II. Swift, Univer-
sity Of California, also spoke.

home.
"F'lossie just telephoned to say
that their machine has broken down
up in the hills somewhere and that

voice. "She seemed awfully cross

F1ossie's temper was no family

Poor Samr' sighed Mary Rose
and then she wondered why she had

violent temper she was his hearts

She knew that in his own opinion
he was the most fortunae of men!
He would have laughed at any one

On Saturday noon. Mary Rose
went into John Manners private
Office for the last time-to say good
by to him.
She had not meant to do it.
All along she had made up her
mind that when Saturday noon came
she would simply take her pay en-
velope and walk out of the place
with a staggering carelessness. She
would not say good-by to any one.
Not single SOUL
But when the time actually came
she couldn't do 1t. Invisible chains
seemed to draw her to the closed
door of John Manners Office.
Her cheeks were very red under
her plain cheap hat and her eyes
were big and bright with unshed
tears when she walked into the room

question a thousand times. IF
could, everything would be so sim
pie, so. easy, so perfect. He's so
good and / do like him"
She got up, sat on the arm of his
chair and laid her lips lightly on
his crisp, red hair. Instantly he
turned and took her in his arms in
grip that was like a band of steel
around her. He was on fire for
her. but no answering flame rose in
the heart of Mary Rose.
That was the difference. When
John Manners took her hand or
brushed her shoulder with his a
tingling went all along her nerves.
The mere sound of his voice thrilled
her as everything Tom F'itzroy had
ever said had not been able to
thrill her.
Don't Toni she said suddenly
and pushed him away. She felt that,
somehow. she had been untrue to
John Manners when she had kissed
Tom in that sisterly way-untrue to
John, who didn't care whether she
lived r'died
ooh. l won't care about him,
either!" she told herself angrily, late
that night when Tom had gone and
she stood undressing before her
mirror. Il won't let myself feel this
way about him. / hate him! 1 hate
him! ! hate him.
But the next morning she found
herself dressing herself for his eyes.
1t was her second last day at the
Dexter Company. and way down
deep in Mary Roses heart was a
shamed hope that he wouldn't let her
leave after all.

surprise, when she came down to
breakfast in her only new fall dress

crepe romaine. She nodded.
'AsVell, 1 think you ought to stay
home and help me get things ready
for our little celebration for Flossie

She choked on Sans name.
She had called him that whipper-

and that nitwit' so long that his
Christian name came to her lips
slowly now.
There won't be much to do. The

Mary Rose told her. 'I'll go down
for half day. and when I come home
It noon, III bring a lot Of flowers
along and wen DECORATE the house
with them. How will that do?''
She couldn't bear the thought of
not going to the Office today-of not
seeing John Manners. For there
were only two more days before she
would leave the Dexter Company
for good. Only two more days
and then she probably would never
see him again so long as she lived.

street.

sudden tears. I'm not hungry this
morning. l guess" she said thickly,

so that her mother should not see
her tears.

looking down at him.
He saw her and jumped up,
frownins as if he were displeased,
"Ive-come to-say good.by to
you" she said in a choky voice.
She was terribly afraid that she was
going to break down, right there be-
fore him. -
ooh. yes, that's so. You are leav-
ing today" he answered, as If he
had never thought of it until that
moment. He held out his hand
the brown hand that Mary Rose had
so often longed to lay against her
cheek.
"Goodby," he said, as imperson-
ally as If she were an agent, come
to sell books or LIQUID soap or raw
rubber.
Mary Rose took his hand. IT hope
Miss Minnick will be a good secre
tary for you." she faltered.
AS matter OF fact, she was hop

that she would misspell words anc

She crossed the big, bright outer
office that had once been heaven-on-

The Georgia Bankers Association says it is

believable conditions"
The bankers association should be shocked.
situation where fyby-night investment house, not
even listed bank under banking supervision,
handled reserves for eghtythree supposedly regular
banks certainly is shocking.
The question is: What's going to be done
about it?
The bankers association suggests hiring lawyers
having Investigations and possibly prosecutions.
That may put somebody in JAIL but it won't restore
the depositors money
The root of the trouble lies in the banking laws
of Georgia 1t is possible to protect depositors by
law. In some States the banks required to take
out insurance covering the depositors money.
Nebraska, pioneer in such legislation, boasts
that no depostor in it's State-chartered banks has
lost cent in eighteen years
Many bankers dislike deposit guarantee laws
They say they penalze the careful banker, making
him pay the losses of the reckless 1t is reasonable
argument but the fact remains that such insurance
is the one known way of giving the depositor COM
plete protection
In ten years banks having over billion dollars
of deposits have suspended payments.
In 1925 over 600 banks closed their doors
The responsibility lies squarey on the shoulders
of the bankers If they want better banking laws
they have them.
