C4 n tribune THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NORTH PLATTEj. NEB., APRIL 22, 1921. No. 0 GROUP TESTS TO BE GIVEN NOTED EDUCATOR SPENDING TWO DAYS IN TESTING SCHOOL CHILDREN Dean Chas. Fordyce, ot the School ot Educations "the University of Ne braska arrived in North Platto Wed nesday evening and Is spending yes terday and today as a guest ot tho Board of Education and Superintend ent Little. He is a specialist in tho subject of Educational and Intelli gence tests foi" grown people and chil dren and works through the different rooms of the school with the teachers. Dean Fordyce wlll'glVti one of his on tcrtaining nnd informational talks to parents this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Franklin Auditorium. Tho central idea of Ills work is that brain power can bo measured quite accurately. By tho uso of ingeniously devised tests which are now used na tionally, ho secures from those being tested enough data so that ho can placo them as to their intellectual power. The Dean tells of tho results secured last fall at tho Teachers' Collego in Lincoln. All of tho University stud ents enrolled in that department were given the intelligence tests. . These tests wore examined and graded on the 100 scale. These grades wero then compared with their examination grades. In every caso the students who stood low in thontollgenco tests wore low in tho examination grades. Part of those who stood high in tho intelligence teBts wero high in the ex aminations and part wore low. These latter wero sluffera and when pressuro v.-as brought td boar on them they eamo up in their examinations. eat NOW!

WE TEACH TO HAVE Theso tests are now bolng applied to young men nnd women who apply for entranco to Columbia University and other standard schools. Big concerns nro calling on tho intelligence exam iners to give tho tests to applicants for training and they employ only those who stand high. Then there is another test called tho measurement test By this tho tpupll of tho school is oxamincd to determine just how much ot a certain school subjoct ho has acquired. Tiic teachor gives an examination in Arithmetic to learn how much of tho work covered by that particular class, has been mastered. Tho measurement oxport tests pupils of the class on their knowledge ot tho subject ot arithmetic. In this way ho can show whether tho subject Is boing well taught, whether tho courso is broad enough or too broad and whether tho pupils are getting onough drill and "practice to fix in mind tho work cov ered in their class. The rosults ot tho tests given hero during yesterday and. today will bo announced later. LOCAL HOY WINS RKCOGXI.A TION IN THE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS.

XOUB DOLLABS MOBE CENTS AIR TERMINAL TO REMAIN HERE irnr.nwir..vA ut tujir-wi PLAINS CONDITIONS AND ASKS SUPPORT Following is a communication from J. E. Sebastian, President of the North Platto Air Terminal Co., which will enlighten thoso of our readers who do not understand conditions nnd who liavo heard somo of tho rumors that have beon'currentr To tho Editor -of tho North Platto Tribune, North Platto, Nebraska. Dear Mr. Editor: N In ordor to enlighten some of our citizens nnd set f6rth tho purpose of tho North Platto Air Terminal Com pany, with your consent I submit tho following: About ono year ago this month Mr. A. R-. Dumphoy, Division Supt. of the Air Mail Servico, called on our local Chamber of Commerce and pointed out to them tho many advantages why North Platto would rocoivo a bonoflt by having an air field and a Govern ment Air Mall Station at tills point. Tho Chamber of Commorco agreed that it was necessary and that it would mean a big thing to our city and com munity. Therefore, thoy nssurcd Mr, Dumphoy and tho Government ot an Air Field and an aeroplane hangar. All of tho llvo wire members of tho Chamber ot Commerce Immediately got behind tho movement and tho re port to tho Government was mndo by Mr. Dumphey to tho effect that the North" Platto Chnmbor ot Commorco had guaranteed a field and hangar if tho Government would accept tho field and mako this ono of the ten trans continental stops, which they did. Tho various mombors of tho Cham ber of Commorco. particularly Its of- .floors,, thought It, best. and advisable to'effectacb'rporiUlon'forh'eurposo of leasing tho air flold which wo now havo. This corporation was organ ized and about sixty-two of our citi zens donated their money for stock to promoto tho industry which is purely a city and community proposi tion. And I might add that It was absolutely necossary to Incorporate In order to obtain tho lease to the field with the Pownoe Ranch peoplo because they would not mako any leaso with tho Chamber of Commerco and as a matter of fact tho stockhold ers of tho North Platte Air Terminal Company and tho mombors of tho Chamber of Commerce aro all the same as tho men are Interested In both organizations carrying tho same loads. After the corporation was effected the name of tho company was settled upon and was hereafter to bo known I as tho North Platto Air Terminal Co. Somo of our good citizens get this Company confused with Iho North Platto Aircraft Company, which is a distinct and separate corporation. Tho North Platto Air Terminal Co. Is not a monoy making concorn. Not far from It. It is simply composed of about sixty-two big, hearty, Influential business men that havo always been upon tholr toes to do things for North Platto. Tho ground was leased for a period of flvo years and tho hangar erected. Tho Chamber of Commerco last year had a membership of over throe hun dred and all tho stock holders in the North Platte Air Terminal Company aro members of tho Chamber of Com morco and is it right, just nnd fair that tho peoplo who took stock In tho Terminal Company should stand tho "blunt" and contributo moro monoy to further an activity and industry that is for tho general good and ben efit ot tho community. Most all cities ot any importance have an air flold. North Platto needs ono and must havo one. Aro you, as a citizen going to do your bit in help lng to back a project that is a big as set to tho community and tho city In which you live? Tho roport read by tho Secretary of tho Terminal Company shows an Indebtedness ot about $3,000. This amount would clean up everything in full including tho cxpenso of com plotlon of tho present hangar which la bolng used daily, and. tho rent on tho field up to Soptomber 1st, 1922. Thoro has been a committee np pointed to call upon tho various men nnd ask them to do their bit towards keeping tho Air Field. Tho deficit is not a big ono and It every mombor of tho Chamber of Com morce would subscrlbo for n little stock, tho bulanco ot it could bo pro rajted among tho present stock holders and the thing could bo worked nut In stick a way that the amount glvon will not be noticed by any ono person. It is tho duty ot ovory mombor of tho Chamber ot Commorco, also ovory cit izen who la intorostod In North Platto" and its futuro to treat tho commltteo cordially and to glvo them all tho as sistance possible. iThcro has been over $12,000.00 nl- roady spent and tho deficit Is so small that It seems It would bo a shntno and a crlmo to let tho entorprlso get away from us now. The Government now has six full time men employed at tho hangar aud threo at tho radio, with big things laid out for tho wireless activities in North Platte .this year. '"Wo have been assured that tho Transcontinental Route from San Francisco to Now York Is a pormanont and positive thing nnd this routo will be maintained by tho Qbvcrnmcnt in definitely. "Wo nro getting two air Umlls per day and with an appropria tion of ono million nnd a half dollars for this routo. Thoy aro ndw" building new ships for it nnd tho operations nro only 25 por cent efficient of what thoy expect to bo doing this time noxt year. . But someone says "Why don't the Chamber of Commerce como across?' In short I might say thoy havo not got tho monoy to spare, and, as a Chamber of Commorco, they take tho position that thoy aro not behind It as an organization. Their point is well taken. While on tho other hand, tho officers and big subscribing mombors of tho Chamber of Commerce aro be hind It as individuals and havo prom ised to do ,'all thoy can to help raise the deficit , regardless of tho prom Ises made on tho part of tho Chnmbor of Commorco last year. I havo endeavored to glvo you tho facts of tho matter and If any citizen desires nny further information I will bo glad to glvo tho mattor Immodlato attention. Mr. Harry Dixon, W. R. Maloney, S M. Soudor, "W. J. Hondy and L. C. .Carroll havo been appointed as tho 'committee to nnslat tho Writer and purposte$ary Win- waltomath; Inclenrlrig up rtho doflcit. Let us havo your co-oporatloh for tho continued success of this enter prlso, which is a big asset to our city and which is bound to be a big thing for our community. Yours truly, J. E. SEBASTIAN, President. SHRINK CLUB HELD "WELL AT- TENDED 3IEETING LAST NIGHT Tho North Platto Shrino Club hold Its flrBt meeting in Masonic hall last night.
