'K. U.Hits Bottom in Honor System,' Says Myra Little
University Needs to Establish Student Court for Cases of Cheating, She Avers
HEASTON GIVES TALK
"The University of Kansas ranks high in many respects in relation to other schools, and is one of the best universities, but bottom as hard as we can, said Myra Littler, c12; at a meeting of the W. S. G. A. council at the Columbia tea room where a combined banquet was held."
Helen Heaton, 64,22, newly elected member of the council, and Miss Little returned a few weeks ago from the western sectional conference of the W. Michigan chapter to give her Ore. Miss Little went en out say that she hoped the present council would try to establish some sort of honor system, as several representatives of schools at the conference reported that they were successful. Most of the schools that have honor systems have devised some sort of student court which tries students who are caught cheating. The penalty which the state授予 is the fortitude of several hours of credit.

Miss Little also said that the government than any other university or college. "I believe that we could learn a few new things financially, but Kansas is certainly right in those ways," she said.
Miss Heston gave a detailed account of the trip to Corvallis. One of the things discussed, she said, was student-faculty committees, a system which has been tried in several of the other schools. "These committees bring the students and faculty into closer contact," Miss Heston said. "The institution continued. We understand, like this, as many of the students are afraid to talk to the instructors because they might think they are trying to 'apple polish'."
May Hold Training School
A summer session of junior delegates to give them training in leadership for the next year was also discussed at the conference. However, this question would have to be voted on at a meeting of the national group.
The Council voted in favor of combining the annual Dad's Day and Mother's Day into one, which will be called Parent's Day. This was done to reduce expenses, as the new W. S. G. budget had budget $800 for parenting. The W. S. G. A. fashion show, which is an annual affair, was not included in the budget for next year.

A. H. Turney Writes Bookle
Deals With Psychological Effect o Short and Final Exams
Professor A. H. Turney of the School of Education is the author of a booklet, "The Cumulative Reliability of Frequent Short Objective Tests" reprinted from the April-May 1922 number of the Journal of Educational Research
Professor Turner writes, "the decision as to which is preferable would seem, according to our data, to rest with the instructor in charge. There seems to be no very great reason why a single final examination might not be sufficient except for the psychological effect upon the student."
The material for this booklet was the result of tests carried on last year in three of Professor Turney's educational psychology classes.

Professor Tarney found that short objective tests, such as the true-false section, or the completion section, are not reliable. His results showed that it is more difficult to learn either the cumulative score on the short test or the final test alone as a basis for grades. He found that there is reason to believe that the short tests have some motivating effect, although it is not pronounced enough. The extra expense required for their preparation and use. There is rather definite evidence that they

THOUSANDS TRICKED
Federal Action Is Possible,
However, Against Norfolk Bont Builder
Norwell, May 18—(UP)—Cruel lies that fed Colindley Lindherd on a heart breaking hunt for a phantom ship and kidnappers born of the crafty mind of John Hobbes Corry may be followed to Curtis on charges of Curtis on madness charges.
Pilas for today were postponed and the state police announced that action on Curtis will be deferred until his further questioning is completed. The most brutal boxes in the history of American crime, one that tortured the minds of a father and his family, rates in New York in 1974. In 2006, violations. It is punishable by a maximum sentence of 3 years in prison and a $1,000 fine.
The vicious chain of stories which were woven together into a metodura scenario by the handpaint *Norfolk folk art* gave good cognty to convince thousands.
Authorities Are Puzzled
I induced many trips to sea in search of the Gloucester Schooner definitely described, telephone calls, short wave radio messages, involved deals with three parties, airplane trips to New York and Newark, a minute search of the coast, treasures, leads, and the full confidence of the father and mother of the stolen baby.
There is a federal statute which provides prison sentences and fines for defrauding the government of either money or misuse of its functions. Curricle call for const guard vessels with attic at expense in the negotiations may bring prosecution under that statute.
Prosecutors were plainly puzzled in the first hours following the sensational revelation that Curtsis chain of stories had been fiction. The drastic concession Curtsis made before dawn Tuesday and announced late that afternoon she would be accommodated in its sensational manner by these developments.
Condon Authentic Negotiator
Dr. John P. Condon was revealed as an authentic negotiator through identification on letters he received. Hugh McQuallion of the bureau of investigation, department of internal revenue, identified the writing as by the some of the family members who left the letters left in the nursery the night the Lindbergh baby was stolen.
Frank Parcych, Brooklyn, arrested on an abandonment charge "confessed" to the abuse which kept the baby. He said the actual kidnaper fell off the ladder and the baby was killed in the fire. A product of his imagination
Curtis Is Susneeed
Radio messages sending the Coast Guard search for the phantom vessel described by Curtis were dispatched 20 minutes before the death at Washington of Bear Adair Frederick C. Billard, commander, who had directed the search from his bedside. He was told of the Curtis confession.
A feverish hunt for Harry Fleischer, Detroit goatster and racketeer, was ordered in Mexico where he is thought hiting to escape questioning.
By a strange trick of fate, or by deliberate intention of the police, Curtis spent another night after the confession as an unrestricted prisoner in the home of the very one he so cruelly victimized, the Landisberg.
Eucryptum was directed at Curtin long before the infant was found dead. He was shadowed by Henry T. Brundge, reporter for the St. Louis Star, during a trip to Mexico with his "contact" with the "kidnappers". Brundge followed Curtis one day and found him deep sea fishing, but Curtis and he had spent the day with the kidnappers. Another day Brunidge flew over the spot where Curtius was to meet the kidnappers, and saw only fragments of where Curtius said he had "exactly".
