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.

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.

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.
