Tests Raise Question
of College Efficiency

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 28.-(AP)-
Intelligence tests have raised the
question Of whether the American
college campus really fosters intel
lectual life, Professor Thomas M.
Thompson told the education section
of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science today. Mr.:
Thompson is associate professor OF
education at Colgate university.
Professor Thompson described the
results of statistical study Of the
classes of 1926, 1927, 1928 and 1929
in the Colgate college of arts.
He said that intelligence tests and
scholastic marks given by the college
indicated that 'sthe freshman year is
the best year on the campus in point
Of correlation Of intelligence with
scholarship"
"This," he said, "raises q new
question as to whether the American
college campus fosters the intellect
ual life in accordance with the COM
monty stated purposes Of q liberal
arts college.
The notion that the sophomore
year was an "off year" for students
was questioned by Professor Thomp-
son. The statistics for the classes
studied, with the exception of the
class Of 1926, indicated, he said, that
the number of credits earned had in
creased with each semester.

TRAFFIC OVER
NORTH ROUTE

The appearance on the streets OF
Douglas late Monday night OF big
bus from line which ordinarily
operates over the northern route
from New Mexico into Globe and

porarily and come through this city.
1t is reported that this is the third
time this winter that this has hap

ems out the times that the cars will

TWO GOVERNORS
AS THE GUESTS
IS their HOPE

Coming before the board of direc-
tors of the Douglas Chamber OF
Commerce to request its cooperation
and assistance in staging good fel-
loWShip gathering between the neigh
boring chambers of Aqua Pr1eta and
Douglas at an early date in January,
Y Soto, president of the Aqua Prieta
Power company and other interests
on the south side OF the 1nte.~ iational
line at special meeting yesterday
outlined a plan that met with the
favor of the local board and steps
were taken to meet his request. The
plan is to make the occasion of the
visit of the Governor OF Sonora to
Aqua Prieta the date OF the joint
gathering and to secure the attend
aace of Governor George w. p.
Hunt to the city at that time and
have the two governors as guests
of honor at banquet to be held
in Aqua Prieta.
While there is no doubt but what
the idea will develop into q joint
welcome to the, governor of Sonora
and there is hope that it will prove
a welcome to two governors, the
progress has not been made yet to
know whether Governor Hunt will
find it possible to accept. The local
chamber will name a committee in
day or two and that committee
will then endeavor to secure the
acceptance OF the governor OF Arizona
to attend as an honor guest.
Soto pointed out the advantages
OF such a gathering in keping alive
the friendly sentiment that e1N,ts
in the two communities and he said
that he spoke for the entire Aqua
Prieta community when he asserted
that they held high hope their plans
for two governors as guests OF honor
will be realized

COPELAND OUT
OF SERVICE ON
PENSION FEB. 8

So far as carrying mail is con-
cerned, on February 8, B. F. Cope
land, a carrier in the Douglas post
office, is going to tune up to sing
that age old ballad, 81 Amt Going
to Work No More" Not that Carrier
Copeland is opposed to work nor
inclined ever to suggest lazy nature,
for he is not In fact he is spoken
of by Postmaster E. j. Huxtable and
Assistant Postmaster w. j. Jackson
rs one of the most faithful and most
carriers that ever was en-
ployed at the local office But there
is a good and sufficient as we'll as
purely legal reason. He is to be
retired on pension because Of the
required number of years OF salts"
factory service.
Copeland has a birthday on Feb
ruary 8. He will be 65. The postal
laws enacted in 1920 included pro-
vision that when one in the service
reached the age of 65 years or reached
a time when he had been Tor 30
years in the service he was entitled
to retire on pension. In Copeland'S
case it will, it is stated, amount to
something near $1,000 a year. He
could, if he was inclined, remain for
two more years if the postmaster
requested it and recommended it to
the department, but he says that he
does not wanC to do so and will
not stay.
Copeland came to the Douglas Of
flee from Globe on September 49,
1914. He entered the service at the
Globe postoffice in 1911 so that he
has been in the postal service little
more than 16 years.
''While Tn in good health and still
have bright outlook on life, I
struggled through the last Christmas
mail rush, declared Copeland. 1T
has been a pleasant service, withal
and have made many warm friends
and enjoyed. it all but. there is no
reason why should not take adj
vantage of this opportunity to see
a little of the pleasure OF life and
a bit less of its drudgery. I believe
that is what was intended when the
pension plan was developed and l
propose now to avail myself OF my
part of it."
According to Assistant Postmaster
Jackson, who handles the records on
that subject, Copeland is the first
to be penSioned out OF active service
in the Douglas office. It seems that
there is no other soon to get into
that class from this office.
