Psychology Head Introduces
Examination to Classify
Future 'MaamS.'

Indiana school marms are to be
catalogued in the future in a quite
new manner. Personality! That's
the latest wrinkle in placing the
masters of readn', ritin' and 'rith.
metic.
The innovation is being intro
duced at the Indianapolis Teachers
College by Henry T. Tyler, chair
man of the psychology department.
In the gigantic task of classify
ing the embryo teachers, Tyler has
prepared and administered a dose
of tests, and hopes to be able def
nitely to catalogue each of the bud
ding teachers when the work OF
grading is completed.
The tests are divided into four
parts-mental ability, reading, Eng
lish usage and, last, but not least =
responsibility.
Just the usual questions are asked
in the first three quizzes, but the
personality test
For instance: What do you think
of practical jokers? Do you care
for grand opera? What is your de-
gree of interest in children-in per-
sons more than 40 years old?
And, to be more practical, what
do you think of raising teachers
salaries?
The QUESTIONABLE includes fifty
three queries and is graded by de-
gree of interest. BY the grading
test Tyler hopes to learn whether
intelligent persons have more or
fewer interests than those of less
intellectual capacity. He also plans
to discover the capacity for enthusi-
asm for a wide range Of interests
of the student teachers.
The quiz blithely assumes that
the teachers always will be teach
ers and not desert the profession
for a plunge into the sea of matri-
mony, for not a single question con-
corning interest in men, cookery,
housekeeping or the like is asked.
Beauty and beauty aids, also are
ignored, as are dancing and the
aters.
The results of the tests cannot be
announced for three or four months,
for the work of grading will take at
Ieast that long, Tyler said, but the
girls, who took the quizzes last Fri
day, have not permitted their inter
est to wane.
Flows your personality, kid?
What did you score in enthusiasm"
and, do tell me what you think of
jokers," are a few of the remarks
being tossed back and forth at the
college between classes.
But it's all very serious, and Tyler,
who points out that many normal
schools throughout the country are
trying the experiment, is confident
his tests will bring results.
This is Tyler's first year at the
college. He came here from Co.
lumbia University, New York.

SOUTH TO SEE
SMITH and HIS
BROWN DERBY
All to Meet Leaders of Party
in Dixie, Speaks in
Louisville.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES,
United Press staff Correspondent


ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. S.-Gover-
nor Alfred E. Smith faces real
test when he takes his brown derby
into the southern border States this
week.
He goes into a land that is just
as new to him as many sections he
visited on his first western trip, and
where the opposition to his can
didacy has shown itself in out
spoken manner.
Smith will seek by the contact of
his personality to remove hostility
reported in parts of Tennessee,
Kentucky and Missouri, three
doubtful border States, which have
total of forty-three electoral votes
that might prove decisive.
The Democratic candidate will
leave here today or tomorrow for
New York, where he will confer with
Chairman John j. Raskob Of the
Democratic national committee and
other leaders.
Wife to Accompany Him
He will board the special cam
paign train Thursday morning for
Tennessee accompanied by Mrs.
Smith and their daughter, Mrs. John
A. Warner, former Governor Nellie
Taylor Ross of Wyoming, his mutt
millionaire friend, william F. Kenny
and others.
Smith will make no speeches In
Tennessee, but will visit Chatta-
nooga, along the Georgia border,
and Nashville, as well as other cities
on short stops in Tennessee and
Kentucky. He will make the only
speech of the week in Louisville,
Saturday night.
The New York Governor went
south for the first time last spring,
when he visited Raleigh and Ashe-
vile, N. G.
Will Meet State Leaders
While in Chattanooga and Nash
vile, the Democratic candidate will
confer with Tennessee State leaders,
and is expected to be visited also by
leaders from nearby States, Georgia,
North and South Carolina, Alabama
and Florida. He will seek from them
real picture Of the situation, in
veStigate just how serious the re-
ported boiling is in the South and
perhaps offer his trained political
judgment as to what steps might be
taken in this final month before the
election.
The Solid South is the basis of
any Democratic presidential aspir-
ants start, Republicans are max
ing a real threat there for the first
time, and they claim the influence
of HooverS personal visit last Satur-
day will Be strong. Democrats, on
the other hand, believe the South
will stay Democratic, but admit
their margin of victory will be re-
duced considerably.

FEDERAL FINE DROPPED
Ex-Mayor of Muncie Relieved of
Payment; Served Sentence.

Rollin H. Bunch, former Muncie
mayor, convicted in 1919 in the
Muncie fake fight conspiracy case,
today was relieved Of Judgment for
$1,000 fine by Federal Judge Robert
g. BaltZell.
Bunch served a two-year sentence
at Atlanta penitentiary on the postal
fraud charge and in 1923 his civil
rights were restored and the fine
cancelled by presidential pardon.
The pardon never was recorded in
Federal Court and last June Albert
Ward, district attorney, filed a pre-
cipe for execution of the judgment
for the fine, with the result Bunch
petitioned to be relieved of the fine
under the presidential pardon.

water control and improvement dis
tricts are organized in the event the
supreme court upholds the decision
of the appeal court in the case Of the
San Saba Water Control and In

A decision by the state supreme
court is expected the latter part of
September or early in October, ac-

The appellate court condemned
bonds OF the San Saba Water Control

similar to those in the Archer county
case, and the district appeal is now
pending before the supreme court.
Because Of that decision Attorney
General Pollard is not approving
bonds for water control and improve

This is expected to result in an
