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. Schoolman, dean 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 a supervision extended for special supervision extended months. Tongaenko, Linwood and Oxakabae were the three schools selected for the experiment since they represented typical small schools. The experiments there would counteract the effects of instructional number of principals and tandeks that definitely planned supervision could not be applied to the smaller school systems, even though successful in larger systems. The tests were applied to the phases of English involved were spelling, vocabulary, reading, composition, literature and form elements.
Teachers Under Supervision All teaching during the tests was done by the regular teacher, the supervisor, and the extent of, Doctor OBRi and his assistant, Miss Jaflet E. Fink. Throughout this experiment the chief emphasis was
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 came only in the direction and environment of the work of the students.
Results Are Gratifying
The results of the tests were very gratifying, Doctor Ohrien said. Measurement of progress was made in each grade in one school mule the sixth grade in one school mule an average gain in spelling equivalent to approximately a year and a half of progress. Percentage gains were also measured and many of the students achieved much as 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
Since a large per cent of the students who are preparing to teach are majoring in English, the information required 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, at the office of the school service bureau.

Another noted shawl is an Indian shawl which was presented by Queen Victoria to a lady in 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 museum was made into a dress for years old, while the others are about two hundred years old.

THE MAGAZINE SECTION OF THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN for April 3, 1927
Bus Driving in Colorado Provides Interesting Work for Vacations
by Elden Rynerson
Editor's Note: The Kanans Magazine hopes from time to time to use stories of interesting ways in which students may earn money during a summer vacation. Editors may want to consider sharing the stories.
PEAKING of summer jobs for college students, there is one job that is unequaled for making money, having a good time and getting thrills. This job that I refer to is the driving of sight-seeing buses in the Rocky Mountains.
In these four years we have never failed to get quite a "kick" out of piloting people over the mile high roads that wind in and out of the city. We've been able to tower above these white strips of dirt.
The time of year when the sap begins to rise and every one is eager to get out and do something, the normal trend of mind is to find a job for the coming summer months. The Rocky Mountain Parks bus driver for the Rocky Mountain Parks Transportation Company at Estes Park, Colo.
The most exciting experience that I have had happened the first year I was driving. The Pi Phi's were having a national convention at Extes and we were seated to take all of them across the Fall River Pass and back. The trip started out in fine shape and the usual screens and screeches per mile were registered all the way to the top. There is a trick resorted to by bus drivers when they in the mood of giving the passengers the window view, by shooting their busses on the "switch backs" in such a manner as to take everyone's breath at one swerve of the road. One gets quite a kick out of hearing the doors around the car click as the frightened passengers get ready to jump just before the smash.
After two hours of riding we stopped at the top of Fall River Pass and there the usual snow sight and writing of names in the park register book took place. In nearly a half hour the daily storm broke and in a few minutes the snow was so heavy that it was extremely difficult to see the car ahead. We slowly made our way down Fall River road and had passed through six switch backs before reaching the parking lot. The lead car driver stopped his car just in time to let a baby avalanche slide down in front of him, which swept the road away leaving a rocky gulch roaring with water directly in our path. It was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and raining like
... In a few minutes another roar was heard in back of us and right behind the six bus in another section of the mountain roared over the road. We saw huge boulders and all of the road before it.
After a couple of hours waiting the trouble car and eight busses came up from Estes to take the passengers back to the village. Here was where the fun came in. In order to get the passengers, most of them gobble, accustomed to taking their luggage to take each passenger in his arms and wade across the rivet to the buses on the other side. There were some of the passengers who made it a delightful job despite the fact that the water was ice cold, but others, speaking of Samson, I considered myself equal to pushing him into the snowiest avenue. But such is the daily life of a bus driver.
In getting tips, the most delightful class of people to get in a car is the newlyweds.
They just sit and look at each other or perhaps do a little more, while the driver with eyes supposedly glued to the road tours on. At the end of the journey the bill is paid with a smile and due to some abnormal circumstance they cannot read the spots on the bills and live it is mistaken for one. 00 course it is an error which is overlooked by both parties.
Speaking of children asking questions, well now if any child can ask any more questions than an old maid school teacher it has to be some child. I remember one instance of a school teacher, a man this time, asking me how long he lived. I finally ran out of appropriate names so started with the names of different cities, disguising them with a French accent. Another bane of a driver's existence is the person who must know the names of all the mountains, passes and trails. After you have told one minute, they have forgotten it the next.
Spring hats cause more grief on the road than a box of tacks. For every drop of rain, you need a backpack. Coats out there, the top has to be put up and up there, the top the sun it has to be put down. Now if the reader has never helped to put a top on these red wagons called sight seeing busses, the rain can get in.
The Lies, oneer is the most interesting of all the tourists for generally he has never been in the high mountains before, and at least he has never seen snow on the Fourth of July. I remember on one occasion a most entrancing New York girl who, having never seen the mountains before, asked when she first saw salt. Then when told it was snow she had taken a salt out up there. Now one doesn't mind telling weird tales to many but when perfectly dumb questions like these are asked generally the bus driver gives the correct information.
The best story that I can think of was the one of the Chicago lady who was up on Fall River Pass viewing the scenery and generally enjoying life. At this point the road goes over the pass at an elevation of 11,797 feet above the river. When she stopped the driver told her to look to the west. She said seeing the blue haze said, "Oh I can see the Pacific ocean." The driver told her that she was right and then he told her to look to the east and she would be able to see the Atlantic. She did this and even thought she could see the Woolworth building, indistinctly. Well, she went away believing it, for we never told her where to walk. But you know there are tricks in all trades, and such is a trick in the daily life of a sight seeing bus driver.
One must be a soldier to become educated at the University of Minnesota. Thirty-six students were recently suspended for the remainder of the winter quarter, because of over-cuts in their classes in military drill. Men students at the university are required to drill three hours a week for a period of two years.
Lincoln Relic Is Presented to Department of History
An interesting Lincoln relic has recently been added to the historical material in the American history lecture room. This is a copy of the New York Herald for April 15, 1865, giving a report of the assassination and death of President Lincoln. A copy of the original issue of this paper was presented to the University some time ago by Mrs. Hattie Beach was reprinted in the Cold Water, Maryland. Ketchel Lincoln company, most of the inside pages being devoted to an advertisement of their product.
A copy of the reprint has recently been presented to the University by Mrs. Marguerite Wise Sutton of the class of 1901. The reprint is interesting for comparison with the original. The reprint of the outside pages follows the original very closely but the type of the ornamental leaf is shorter and thicker. The price of the robert at that time was four cents a copy.
The publishers of the reprint offered to furnish it in unlimited quantities at a cent apiece. Every year at the time of Washington's birthday a great many people get out a copy of this issue of the Herald, which they suppose to be a copy of the original edition. In some cases, if they read the inside pages that it is a copy of the reprint issued in 1800.
The New York Herald of that day was a single sheet of four pages. In this issue the column rules were reversed in the usual manner on the first page to indicate mourning. The most striking thing is the heading given to the news story of Lincoln's assassination, the word "IMPORTANT." One would expect the words "Cure," or some headline commensurate with the seriousness of the event but the word "Important" terribly weak. The fourth page reports the military operations of Grant and Sherman. As a whole the paper is a striking example of the difference between the newspaper of that day and this.
Inexperienced Husband Tunes in on Two Broadcasting Stations and Peculiar
An inexperienced husband was asked by his wife to take a recipe for her over the radio. In tuning in he got two stations, one which was giving setting up exercises, and the other which was broadcasting culinary receipts. What he got was as follows:
Hands on hips; place one cup of flour on
shoulder and mix thoroughly in half cup of
water.
In four counts raise and lower the legs and mash two hard boiled eggs in sieve; repeat Inhale one-half teaspoon of baking powder, add three drops of flour. Breath naturally and exhale sieve.
Attention. Jump to a squatting position and bend whites of eggs backward and forward over the head; and in four counts make a stiff dough that will stretch to the waist; lie flat on the floor and roll up into a marble the size of a walnut.
Hop to a standing position and boil in water but do not boll to a gallop. In 10 minutes remove from the fire and dry with a towel; or similarly, dress in flannels and serve with fisheau.
