Prof. F. P. OBrien Publishes Bulletin on English Study
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. F. R. Woolf, head of school service and research.
TRE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
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 supervision extending over about six months. Tonganaxia, Linwood and Oakabasa were the three school selected for the experiment since they had only two years of experiments there would counteract the objection on that part of a 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 the phases of English involved were sipping, 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 OBrien and his assistant, Miss Jafet E. Fink. Throughout this exertion they were guided upon developing in the summer a
live 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 must only in the direction and sensitivity of the work of the students.
Results Are Gratifying
The results of the tests were very gratifying, Doctor Oblrien said. Measurement of progress was made in term of ability. The sixth grade in one school made an average gain in spelling equivalent to approximately a year and a half of progress. Percentage gains were also measured and many of the grades were found to advance as expected. However, more than half have been compiled in order to give English teachers all over the state an opportunity to see the actual results of practical supervision, Doctor
an opportunity to see the actual results of practical supervision, Doctor OBrien said.
Since a large per cent of the students who are preparing to teach are majoring in English, the information provided must be converted 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 can be received from the office of the school service bureau.

Irony Pays for Kercchiefs (Continued from First Page)
(Continued from First Page)
The poem the writer wrote
TO A HANDKERCHIEF.
A motorist has admitted running over the same man twice. The time has evidently come when there aren't enough pedestrians to go around." The Exponent (Baldwin-Wallace).
How thoughts of my handkerchief S scatter my fawns, and blow in cloudlets I adrift in the blue; The birds sing more gaily, The flowers intrigue me, My paws jerk my body Is exhilarating Kwechoil
My equine kerkhel,
My monogrammed kerkhel,
My elegant kerkhel
That bids cares be gone;
My distilf kerkhel,
Most suitable kerkhel,
That beautiful kerkhel,
My initials thereon.
My glorious kerkefish,
My idolized kerkefish,
My pictureurenkerkefish
Shall cheer me anon;
My dutiful kerkefish,
Most suitable kerkefish,
That beautiful kerkefish,
My initials thereon.
Small wonder my spirit
Takes flight among posies,
When wild gree are飞ing
And turtle dows coe;
And while transient zephyr
Are playing about me,
I bravely respond
With an ardent Kerosoo!
Translations and Tomfooleiers, by Bernard Shaw. *Brantano*, 1926. $2.
The one translation of the book is Siegfried Trebitsch's Frau Gitta Suhne, which play, the author blandly asserts, is not a translation at all (as Trebitsch did not use words that were in the dictionary) but telepathetic absorption of the amiable German's plot and theme.
To those of us who know Shaw little enough to dislike him, the book Translations and Tomofooleers will no doubt mean nothing more than a series of absurd inturbans. To those of us who know Shaw well enough to mishear him, the book will reveal a series of more or less consciously clever flares.
Perhaps the worst, or should one really say the best of these farcial pieces of nonsense is "Passion, Poison and Petrification," although it might really have been called something else equally inappropriate. All in all the book is really worth the reading, although we hope now does not take too many such vacations from his usual admirable work—D. J. E.
The rest of the book which Shaw chooses to call Trifles and Tomfoolies, is at once so provocatively mordant and so forcefully ridiculous that it is almost surely surprised by a quite unconscious titter.
Enough Rope, by Dorothy Parker. Boni & Liveright, 1926. $2.
"I'd like to view the reeling years
Through unastonished eyes,
And dip my finger-ups in tears
And give my smiles for sighs.
And exactly this does Dorothy Parker succeed in doing in her book of light verse, "Enough Rope." With clear, cool eyes she observes the world and dispassionately records its follies. She dips into tears and writes of tragedy with a little quirk of a smile hovering above the scenes sometimes the smile is tender and sometimes ironical, but it is always a brave, fine one.
She gives us a delightful little book of verse; it abounds with satiric sophisticated humor, is deliciously epigrammatic, and is exquisitely wiskew at times.
She expresses a modern attitude toward love and life that is distinctly unusual and interesting. It makes one catch his breath, and eagerly read more.
For the type of poetry it represents, this sparkling little volume cannot be equaled "—
the one."
Ordeals of Phi Beta Kappa (Continued from First Page)
a Phi Beta Kappa recipes! Huh! I could do about as well!*
"And then we are envied by others—we whose lives would be unendurable if it were not for the fact that people gradually forget us, so that by the end of the first week we live in comparative peace—who deserve the pity of our loss," she said. "These situations rather than congratulations. Surely anyone of us would be glad to trade places with one of the envious ones."
World War Veteran Believes Wars Can Be Boon to Civilization
There is no good reason why wars cannot be a boon to civilization instead of a detriment, according to Chester K. Shore, veteran of the World War.
"Since war is inevitable, why not make the most of it," asks the managing editor of Kansas Municipalities and the City Manager Mageen. "What do we need to solve the problem to the satisfaction of everybody."
"We have a League of Nations, so why not form a League of Hostilities to determine where the battleground will be and to promote bigger and better wars?" asks Mr. Shore, who holds a lieutenant's commission in National Guard. "The rest of my plan is this:
"Instead of conscripting men to do the fighting, we should use the lunatics, half-wits and morons. We could take them to the firing line and let them go to it. By this method the necessary wars could be waged and the world would be eliminated and the good blood saved."
This is the dream of Chester Shore, well known Acacia and former Chief Sachem of the University. When asked if he would make this plan general to include all countries, he replied, "No, I would let them select their own general."
"The only objection to this plan that I can think of is that I might have to go to war," concluded Shore, who gained much recognition a few years ago as the member of the Permanent Student Body who went to school an extra year just to take gymnasium work.
Sky Hooks Used as Supports
Moved by this supposed phenomenon, the reporter made his way through the maze of brick and other material over to the building and ascended the stairs and scaffolding until he was at the main level of activities at the top. Once there he accosted a wise looking workman as to the why of this hanging column of brick.
A Kansan reporter recently surveying the new auditorium structure from the geology building noticed the column of bricks that sets out from the main wall half about way up on the east side. The column of bricks about ten feet high by a foot or so in depth and thickness, stick out from the wall without any apparent support.
73
After a careful inspection from a vantage point of a window the reporter discovered two large angle irons extending out underneath the brick and offering ample support for a lot more bricks, so he hurried back to the news room to write up his findings so that they would be applied in this application. The definition of Cady's first law of nature will have the benefit of his researches.
Looking around at the column in question the workman replied, "Oh, that, why we just applied the sky hooks to it and there she hangs." Whereupon the other workers joined in the general laugh and the reporter retreated to his desk, himself the cause of this extraordinary feature.
We venture to suggest that, when the New York Chamber of Commerce decides to advertise its town, its slogan will be "Breathe the air of a thousand land!" Kanye Collegean.
