Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
A Mental Law.

WEARS ago, Woodrow Wilson, as
president of Princeton University
discovered that the students who stud
led laboratory courses remembered
more of what they learned than the
boys who got their knowledge from
books alone. Other educators have
found this to be a fact. So it comes
today that the school teachers are
talking about new education-edu-
cation through activity.
This so-called new education Is
nothing more or less than simply max
ing the school fit the mind. Suppose,
for example, you were looking for some
word to use instead of the word mind.
In other words, you are looking for q
term people can understand. About
the only Understandable term you can
find is personality. That term has
meaning, because it implies an ex-
preston of some sort-a bodily ex-
preston, facial expression, voice, tenn
perament, attitudes toward other per-
sons, social situation, ambitions and
50 on. One might make a long list
Of such expressions.
Whatever the. list may be, 1t still
conforms to that law Of mental life
called activity. That's where psychol-
ogy begins and ends.

on went Chatterer to the tree where
Spooky the Screech Owl lived. He
looked up at Spooky's doorway. hop
ing that he might see Spooky's face
therein. He didn't. You see, 1t was
broad daylight and Spooky, who had
been out all night, was down inside,
fast asleep. Chatterer climbed the
tree. He was careful not to make
much noise about 1t. You see, while
Spooky is not very big. he has good
sized feet and strong, sEarp-pointed,
curved claws, for which Chatterer has
the greatest respect.
Chatterer climbed the tree and
peeked inside. OF course that was a
most impolite thing to do, but Chat
terer is an impolite, small person.
Spooky was at home. Chatterer went
out on dead limb just above Spooky's
doorway and began to call. He made
great noise. for Chatterer can be q
noisy fellow when he sets out to be.
Presently Spooky's head appeared in
the doorway. He was blinking, for he
was hardly awake. He looked cross.
He was cross. Chatterer knew it by
the way Spooky snapped his bill. It
had a most unpleasant sound.
whats all this fuss about? What
do you mean by making such q noise

sleep In peace?" demanded Spooky.
"Oh. were you in there, asleep?"
exclaimed Chatterer, just as If the
thought had never occurred to him.
1T is too bad II I wakened you, but
now that you're awake. I'd like to

Aeronauts are so clever that they turn
their backs upon the wind when they
are spinning out their silk cables. That
will also show you the way the wind
Is blowing"
You can see the balloonists at any
time of the year, provided, Of course,
you find their chosen "take-offs" and
become "ballooning-spider conscious" /"
Many find that they have been walk
ing among these famous balloonists
for years and did not see them.
Fence posts, tall weeds, stumps and
such places are sought for the take
off field. The flyer fastens his feet
into the platform" His body Is
raised into the air at about As de-
grees. His head Is bowed. The spin
nerets get busy and the silk mill is
going at full capacity. From the tip
of the body silk threads are spun, and
as they come in contact with the air
they harden. Sometimes the cables
are spun out so fine that you cannot
see them except against black back
ground.
Inspection at this time, when many
cables are in the air, will show you
what an effort it is for the ballon-
ist to keep his hold upon the
~ground." The tug Of the wind on
the silk Is very great. In the twinkling
Of an eye, the spinner will release
his hold. His feet grasp the cords
Of silk, and facing the sky he floats
away.
You can watch the spiders fairly
bound into the air as they take OF.
Pretty soon you will be watching 9TH
ers 60 up and out Of sight. Observa-
tions have shown that as soon as the
spider gets under way 1t faces in
the direction of the wind. The eight
legs spread well apart, the long
streamers Of silk, strong and taut,
holding easily the weight of the flyer.
Wishing to descend. the traveller
will begin shortening his sails and
gradually will drift to the ground.
The greatest height so far recorded
Is $50 feet. Much has yet to be dis
covered about these famous balloon
lists. Now is your chance to add your
valuable findings.

grades, tubeweavers and latergrades

Retailers Push Fight
Despite refusal of Senator Thur

chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee to call hearing, mem
bers of the Associated Retailers of
Indiana went ahead with their plans
for a demonstration at the State
house Wednesday demanding repeal
OF the gross income tax law.
Senator Gottschalk explained that
it would be useless to call hearing
because the Senate majority is
bound by caucus action not to con-
slider anything except social security
legislation at the special session.
Bad faith was charged to the adj
ministration by L. F. Shuttleworth
managing director IF the state
retailers organization, who said that
assurances were given in high quar-
tiers" last year that the gross income
tax law would be taken up at the
special session.
A bill repeating the tax law has
been introduced in the upper cham
Der by Senator Ralph H. Jernegan

LOCAL AIRPORT
TEST MAY END
FLYING DANGER
Blind Landing Equipment Is
Seen as Advance in
Air Safety.
Continued From Page One)

Terre Haute, Louisville, KY, and
Cincinnati, o.
Heretofore planes have been able
to get from port to port by this sys-
tenn, but in unfavorable weather
couldn't land at their destination.
During the recent cold wave here,
the pilot of a transport plane made
10 passes" at the Municipal field,
but was unable to get down. He was
forced to fly farther West.
Radio Beams Are Used
The new equipment deals not with
the problem of direction but with
landing. A pilot, flying on a radio
range station beam, knows when he
comes over his home field, because
he runs into a cone of silence.
For purposes of narration, we will
leave hi mat this point until we can
describe the blind landing system.
Mr.. Griffin has built two radio
stations established on a line with
the approach runway. The inner
building is located 1900 feet from
the airport boundary, and the outer
station is 900 feet farther out.
Each of these stations sends out
a -directional horizontal radio
beam and a vertical beam. A flier
coming into the cone of silence"
tunes for the inner station hori-
zontal beam, which puts his radio
compass at zero. If he is flying out
of line with it, the needle will swing
either to right or left.
AS he flies over this station the
vertical beam flashes a red light on
his instrument board. This indicates
his exact position.
Filler Follows Beams
Then he makes a turn, tunes to
the outer station, and flies over it.
When he reaches the outer station,
he makes another turn and now
heads in for a landing.
After passing over the outer sta
ton for the second time, he again
rechecks his compass and starts to
throttle down. Upon reaching the
inner station, Mr.. Griffin estimates
the pilots altitude should be ap-
proximately $50 to 200 feet.
When the inner stations vertical
beam flashes his red light, the pilot
starts his glide. At 100 feet he is ex-
pected to be able to pick up the
outer approach lights that lead to
the runway.
The runway itself is marked with
flush-type lights, and the f1iel
should be able to follow down ano
make normal landing. He can use
the lights and make a semi-blinc
landing or continue to use only his
instruments.
Although this experiment wa.
started in Newark, N. j., this is tn.
first city to be completely equipped
The Municipal Airport was chosen
because of its ideal location, ant
because it has no heavy traffic.
