H Unselfishness Is Goal of Teacher, Educator States Pleads for Inspirational Rather Than Mechanical Work at Convention Here. (Continued From Fare One.) three persons ranking highest in the tests were girls. Through extensive medical exami nations it was found that the gifted child Is three-fourths pound heavier than average at birth; that he talks from two to three months earlier than average; that he walks about a month early and that he is slightly acc< lcrated sexually. Gifted children, said Dr. Terman, read about three times as many books as average children and their litera ture is historical, biographical and of serious nature. Dr. Terman declared that his tests had shown the gifted child to be, on an average, slightly better developed physically and having a greater knowledge of games and athletics than the average child. Extensive character tests showed that the gift ed child was far above his unsclected brother. Loob Case Not Conclusive. Dr. Terman regretted that the et.o pold-Loeb case at Chicago had drawn disfavor to the acceleration of . the gifted child. "people point to the fact that the two boys were graduated from the university when hut IS,” said the professor. "They do not realize that they are Judging acceleration meth ods from but one case. They do not know, perhnps, that Secretary of State Hughes was graduated from the university when but IT.” H. It. Miller, professor of education and principal of the University High school of the Wisconsin university, urged high school teachers to avoid standardization, arguing that it is a menace to America. Platoon Education Happed. "You can’t educate children in platoons,” he said. "Wo are all tired and weary of the mechanical method cf teaching. Decide for yourself if Tour work Is genuine or spurious.” Professor Miller continued by urg ing that teachers provide for indi vidual differences of their piplls. He, told them that in this day , they must have "horse sense for stable think ing." He spoke in the gymnasium of Techrftpal High school. /■ '"""I YourselfInc.

The Amerada Petroleum com pany haa abandoned Its oil drilling operations at Nehawka, but geologists are not yet convinced that oil la not present. Test wells may be sunk later in other parts of the district. In a statement of the resulta of the test well, G. E. Condra, director of the state geological survey. Uni versity of Nebraska, says the well should probably have been drilled south or southeast of the present lo cation. The location of the present well, his statement says, did not af ford a thorough test of oil possi bilities because faulting extended through the location. "The Amerada Petroleum company drilled as justifiable at their loca tion,” Mr. Condra says. "Dr. Sidney Powers, chief geologist of the com pany,^ was in favor of abandoning drilling as soon as quartzltic beds were encountered below the Saint Peter sandstone, hut we urged him to continue drilling. "Just how much chance remains for the discovery of oil in the Nehawka anticline Is not known. The tost re cently completed does not fully con demn the flanks of the structure. This being true, future prospecting. If it Is done, should be to the south or southeast of the recent test. This location would be more favorable tie cause therq Is no surface faulting; oil could have migrated to It; the Silurian and Devonian beds would probably be encountered, and the structure is well sealed.’’ Convention Feature Hose Sale Extraordinary 1320 Pairs of Silk and Wool and Wool Hose Full Fashioned Semi-Fashioned HAND CLOCKS Street Shades First Quality ! 7Qc I M Jr a pair This sale is the result of a special purchase and is most timely.
