Prof. F. P. OBrien Publishes Bulletin on English Stud
Experiment in Supervision of Learning Language Is Described in Article
"An Experiment in Supervision of English" is the name of a bulletin which has been published by Dr. R. McDermott, Jr., head of school service and research.
The bulletin sets forth in tabular and statistical form some surprising results of tests given to groups of students in three different schools before and after a period of special school months. Tonganoxie, Linwood and Oakabas were the three schools selected for the experiment since they represented small schools. The experiments 'there would counteract' that effect by providing the number of principals and teachers that definitely planned supervision could not be applied to the smaller school systems, even though successful in larger systems. The tests were applied to grades above the sixth, and seventh, grade, spelling, vocabulary, reading, composition, literature and form elements.
All teaching during the tests was done by the regular teachers, under the supervision, to some extent, of Doctor Brien and an assistant, Miss Jafet E. Fink. Throughout this experiment the chief emphasis was on fostering active and intelligent interest in their own school achievement, so that the evident improvement in the work of the students, both individually and collectively, was due to the efforts of the students entirely. The supervision came only in the direction and encouragement of the work of the students.
Teachers Under Supervision
Results Are Gratifying
The results of the tests were very gratifying, Doctor O'Brien said. Measurement of progress was made in each grade, and at the eighth grade in one school mate an average gain in spelling equivalent to approximately a year and a half of progress. Percentage gains were also measured and many of the results were much higher, much at 50 per cent. The figures have been compiled in order to give English teachers all over the state an opportunity to see the actual results of practical supervision, Doctor O'Brien said.
Since a large per cent of the students who are preparing to teach are majoring in English, the information provided to a number of students, as well as to English teachers over the state, according to Doctor O'Brien. The bulletins are available free of charge, and the office of the school service bureau.

Exhibit Placed on Display
New Collection of Prints Being Shown at Spooner
Twenty-five new prints of famous painters selected from the collection of prints published by George Barrie of Philadelphia and Paris and have been exhibited at the Thayer museum. Some of these painters are: Burke Jones, C. Troyon.
J. Constable, J. F. Millet, C. Ronney J. Israels, H. Holbein and V.Dyke In addition to the prints there it is possible to see some of the Scottish paisley shawls, a few oriental saddle blankets and two pieces of Indian embroidery in the basement of the museum. One of the pieces was made by William Bochkara, a shawl woven in stripes and then sewed together. This shawl received the gold medal at the French exposition in 1855. Another noted shawl is an Indian shawl which is known as a 'Pisum shawl' and is waiting. A printed French tissue was called a ring shawl because it could be drawn through an ordinary ring. One of the Indian shawls in the collection is recorded as being 500 years old. The pieces are about two hundred years old.
The entire exhibit will be on display until the first week in May.
According to the Columbia Spectator of New York, the glee club at that school will make a Candian trip during Easter week.

A bigger and better humor section will be featured this year, according to the editors, and the section will contain, among other things, about sixty or seventy cartoons.

City Election Is Tuesday
That Lawrence city taxes for breakfast are well liked by University of Kansas students might be the inference drawn from the lack of interest shown by the students eligible to vote in the coming municipal election, according to Prof. F. H. Guild, of the department of political science.
The election is to be held next Tuesday and the result at the polls will have a bearing on taxes in sev- weeks, according to Professor Guild.
Students Show Little Interest According to Guild
Students who voted in Lawrence at the general election last fall, or who were admitted to the primary election in March are eligible to vote, according to Professor Guild. Other students must have registered before last Friday to be eligible. He estimates that students are so qualified and that a total of 800 students is entitled to vote if they were registered.
Polling places for University people living between Ninth and Twelfth streets and west of Massachusetts are located south of Twelfth street and live south of Twelfth street and west of Massachusetts may cast their ballots at 1387 Massachusetts street.
Prof. A. J. Boynton, of the department of economics, is a candidate for re-election to the schoolboard.
The department of political science will gladly furnish information concerning the election and urges that every one who is eligible should vote.

In the Dark Ages before 1900
A man could wear almost any sort of a combination of clothes. But as Bert Williams sang, "He couldn't have got away with that today."
We find men paying more attention to clothes—not only to the suit, which must be correctly cut, of course, but to the furnishings that go with it as well. Color harmony is the big idea now. It's a big part of our job as clothets to help you select exactly the right ensemble—the color and kind of clothes in which you look superlatively well.
(Now—just before Easter, why not drop in and see what we can do?) We have lots of splendid new clothing and haberdashery and contrary to popular opinion, you can buy it at a very reasonable figure.)
