Prof. F. P. OBrien Publishes Bulletin on English Study
Experiment in Supervisor 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. P. F. Terry and served as 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 because of a severe provision extending over about six months. Tongnaxia, Linwood and Oksakoba were the three schools selected for the experiment since they represented typical small schools. The experiments there would contrast students with those in larger numbers 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 Statistics. The phases of English involved were spelling, vocabulary, reading, composition, literature and form elements.
Teacher Under Supervision
was done by the regular teachers, under the supervision, to some extent, of Doctor Orien and his assistant, Miss Jafet E. Fink. Throughout this experience he was placed upon developing in the units 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 only lies in the direction and encouragement of the work of the students.
Results Are Grafting
The results of the tests were very gratifying, Doctor OBrien said. Measurement of progress was made in terms of time—that is, for example, the eighth 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 much at 50 per cent. The ficheer found that only four teachers in every state give English teachers all over the states 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 is gathered from the number 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.
Budget Plans Being Made Department Heads to Present Ideas at Meetings
Work on framing the 1927-28 budget for the University has begun with conferences at the chancellor's office. Heads of all the departments will present their plans for the coming year, and out of these will come the apportionment of the University funds. The dean of each school is considered. The heads of the other schools and departments will attend the hearings.
R. J. Dyer, assistant to the chancellor, will act as secretary at all the meetings and will present at each the needs of the University as a whole. He will also help to complete all the hearings, according to Chancellor E. H. Lindley.

In Society
--twenty-five new prints of famous painters selected from the collection of prints published by George Barrie of Philadelphia and Paris and have been placed on display at the Spooner-Thayer museum. Some of these painters are: Burke Jones, Troyon, J. Hammond, C. Roeff, J. Iarussel, H. Holstein and Van Dyke. In addition to the prints there is a collection of Indian shawls, French and Scotch paisley shawls, a few oriental saddle blankets and two pieces of Indian embroidery in the basement of the museum. One of the French paisley is a reproduction of Bobkara shawl, a shawl woven in the traditional pattern. The Bobkari shawl received the gold medal at the French exposition in 1855. 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 collection is recorded as being 600 years old. The members are about two hundred years old.

Irony Pays for Kerchiefs
(Continued on Fourth Page)
University Professor Objects to Being Sent Package With Request to Return $1 or 'Just Send It Back'
A few days ago this self-same gentleman received through the mail such a package accrued.
Handkerchiefs may be handkerchiefs, but there is one University professor who objects to being sent specimens of such useful articles with the request to return $1 or "just send
"I liked the handkerchiefs all right, but I didn't like the principle on which the sales department used them."
"SO HERE IS MY OFFER," replied the professor. "I am sending you one of these poems, written especially for you, as payment for the book. I have received them which were so delightfully embroidered in two colors of silk with BOTH my initials. I want you to look this poem over carefully, to compare it with the poem Edgar Guest wrote for me. This is probably the collection some of your loose change."
So thus inspired, he wrote a poem which he has marvelled at the handkerchief company offer- "When I was a little girl I always wanted to be a handkerchief."
"After you have examined them carefully, if you like them so well that you don't want to part with them, you can send me—not 75e or $1 each, not even 50e each—and my introductory price on a limited number of these new handkerchiefs—only $1 for all five!"

"After you have examined my poem I think you will agree with me that I should have been the source of all your handkerchief poetry, and not in his way, but competition is to strenuous."
"I am writing you today because I have a very unusual proposition to make," read the passage.
"I am writing you today because I have a very unusual proposition to make," the im-
"P. S," concluded the professor in his return letter. "Is there some friend, relative or business associate who would be tickled to receive one of my poems?" Why not send me an extra set of embroidered handkerchiefs now and I'll get another poem off at once?"
A postscript on the handkerchief company's letter read, "Is there some friend, relative or business associate who would be tickled to receive a set of these attractive handkerchiefs? Why not send an extra dollar now, tell me his initials and we'll get the handkerchiefs off at
"SO HERE IS MY OFFER," continued the letter from the handkerchief company. "I am sending five of these handkerchiefs embroidered in two colors of silk with BOTH your initials, to you absolutely free of all expense. I want you to look them over, to compare them with monogrammed handkerchiefs you've paid 75e or $1 for in the past.

SPRING
Jack Frost had a fest last night
of jonquil tails and tulip heads;
He thought it finest sport to make
A banquet of my flower beds.
He tasted all the maple buds;
As if that weren't enough,
Upon the gold forsthia blooms
He breathed a frosty puff.
He ate the tingle blue-grass shoots,
And turned them all quite brown;
He hung on all the hedges green,
 Ice-points to weight them down.
But this I know—my garden fair
Will bloom again in May,
While he, the wily little scamp,
Is sleeping night again.

LONELY MEN
All literature worthy of the name has been created by lonely men. Artistic sensibilities have thrived best in solitude. Oppression, hunger, physical suffering and mental torture, have all contributed toward great artistic expression but none is essential. An unmistakably companionship has made them to sensitive man to immortalize their moods in literature.
literary effort in the present day is hampered by the inability of men to find solitude. Family cares, economic pressure, the lack of artistic expression and giving expression to true artistic temperament. It is history that literary artistry of the highest type has been confined to men. Women have been sustained literary power. Elinor Barrett and George Eliot are not exceptions.
Ordeals of Phi Beta Kappa
Election to Honorary Organization Is Not What Is Is Cracked Up To Be, Experienced Member Declares
Phi Beta Kappa, according to a student who was elected to that honor last year, is not what it is cracked up to be. "Trials we have all our lives," she declared, "but the worst trials of all begin on the day of election and last a week or so."
The first difficulty, it seems, comes shortly before the election when friends, having noticed in the paper the announcement that Phi Beta Kappa is to have an election, hasten to tell those whose grades are exceptional, that they will surely be elected.
"And we in turn," this young woman declared, "are kept busy denying this and explaining over and over again how very terrible our grades really are, and how impossible it would be for us to be among the chosen, though, of course, all the while we feel that we shall be elected. A lie, some call it; yet what else is there for us to say? If we agree to accept them they would think we consented. If we remained silent, they would take that for agreement."
The day of the election on, and the night followed, but still the suspense.
"The next morning we awake very early, and lie in bed filled with a vague excitement that we cannot understand. We dress very carefully, for we want to be at our best, no matter what happens. Breakfast we manage to eat with more or less composeme. One or two eggs, fries and sausages but we turn them off with a bright smile and a laughline. 'Why of course not!'
"We go to our first class and again we must silence people too eager to congratulate us. So it goes till one of our favorite professors comes up with his congratulations; and then, looking very startled we ask, 'Was I elected? Why I didn't know that?' After the five minutes of explanation that follow, we pass on to our next class, then we come to hear what he was talking about. The rest of the day we are self conscious. Everyone seems to be staring at us.
"Again and again we say, 'I don't know how happened!' or 'I'm sure I didn't deserved it.'"
"Within the first twenty-four hours new troubles develop. The very first time we re-replicate a problem, it takes us waiting for us with lessons they cannot get. We may be majoring in English, but of course, as Phi Beta Kappa we can solve trigonometry problems, explain chemical formulae and trans-
"Worst of all, our professors seem to share in these high opinions of our ability. We go to class expecting to sit, as usual, quiet and unobtrusive on the back row, but now we find questions fired at us, and as we answer we often hear classmates say, 'So that's the way
