MORE MODERN FARM
HOMES ARE BUILT
The College of Agriculture through
its extension service Is encouraging
modern farm homes by providing
literature, suggestions and blueprint
plans. The number of modern farm
homes is growing rapidly every year.
Few houses are now constructed that
are not modern, and many old ones
are being made modern. Those who
have studied the subject believe mod
ern houses will do much toward mak
ing farm life more satisfying. It is
argued that the farmer who can afford
an automobife can afford running
water in his house. Likewise, the
farmer who can afford a gas engine
can also afford an electric light plant.

of College Professor Gramlich
Is Toastmaster.

showing how it has grown from an In
stitution which did not have on office
for him to work in, 22 years ago, and
without any livestock, to its present
proportion with over 1,000 head,ol
animals. He also reviewed the ca(lo
feeding situation as it exists today,
stating that he did not think that cat
tie prices had reached the bottom as
yet, and that the greatest need of the
feeders today is some means of sta
bilizing the market, so as to take the
"chance" out of the feeding business
He stated further that market cord!
tions will not become stabilized ma
terially until labor is more nearly em
ployed to Its maximum degree.
Mr. W. Jones, editor of the Nebras
ka State Journal, was the seconJ
speaker. He proposed a plan whereby
the University Farm could add more
land to its present environs, in order
that more experimental work mlghi
be carried on without the present han
dicap of the lack of room. His rlar
was to purchase a strip of land lying
to the north of the farm, on the Sat
Creek bottoms, in order to connect
un with the farm land which mlghi
be purchased on the upland north of

Work of Measuring Knowledge
And Educational Research Grows
Former Dean Charles Fordyce was
appointed director of the Nebraska
Bureau of Educational Research In
1916. The appointment was made
through the National Directors of Edu
cational Research of which Dr. For

lished in the University in e8ucatl6nal
and mental measurements, with Dr,.
Fordyce In charge. These courses
offer such instruction as grounds the
student In the technique of giving
measurements to test the results of
instruction and also the capacity for
receiving Instruction.
Work Was Not Popular.
When the movement was started sev
eral years ago many educators were
backward about taking up the work.
The experimental stage Is past now,
however, and all leading institutions
of the country use tills method as an
Instrument for Improving Instruction.
The educational scale is a refined
type of examination in each subject.
The examination is so standardized as
to make of it a scale. There are
scales for language, mathematics,
composition, foreign languages, and

all branches taught in the elementary
and high schools.
The aim of the mental test is to
measure the capacity of the Individual
for receiving instruction. Its field Is
different from the educational meas
ure. The aim of the educational
measure Is to measure the amount of
knowledge acquired.
The work of the Teachers' Collego
in educational measure is directly
connected with the public school sys
tems of the state. Many of the
schools give the tests and then send
J the results to the department of
measurements in the University
where these results are scored, tabu
lated, interpreted and then returned.
No modern movement in education
Is proving more helpful by the way
of revealing the, actual results of
teaching and pointing out the methods
of improving the character of In
struction. Dean Fordyce has asked the Board
of Regents to relieve him of the
executive work in connection with the
head of the Teachers' College, that he
may devote his entire time to his de
partment of measurements and re
search. NEBRASKA IN EGYPT WEEK

to indicate the total amount raised
to date. The average subscription rc
ported at the workers' luncheon on
the first day was about four dollars.
The executive committee in charge
of the Nebraska in Egypt week has
figures from other colleges over the
country which are engaged in raising
funds for one or more graduates who
are working in other couptries in sta

CLOSED SHOP FUN
fays Omaha Business Man Also
Labor Trouble Due to Lack of
Personal Touch.
Labor troubles arise mainly from
the fact that when industries glow
on a largo scale the man who con
t'ols the company policy becomes so
engrossed in tho responsibilities Oi'
management that ho loses the per
senal touch with his employes, hie
ideas ure passed down the line an 1
interpreted by his superintendent anJ
foreman and misunderstandings re
sult, A. C. Scott, president of the Scott
Omaha Tent and Awning company
and the Omaha Business Men's asso
ciation, told the Industrial Research
dub of the university at the Red
Room of the city Y. M. C. A. Thurs
day night.
'
Closed Shop is Selfishness.
"Tho idea of the closed shop Is
fundamentally selfish," declared Mr
Scott. "It is fostered by the walking
delegate whose job is to mediate in
d'sputes. He must stir up trouble
in order to have work to do. He
wants to perpetuate his soft snap."
Omnhp. worlctis In the building
trades who are now on strike are chaf
ing under the restrain, according to
Mr. Scott, and want to go back io
work. "The man who wants to stay
out is the exception."
"The idea that a rich man is a sue
cessful man is all wrong," said tho
speaker. "The only thing worth while
ii. the satisfaction gained from earn
i:ig tho money, earning it on the
square. If you can't look everybody
in the face, al) your money doesn't
mean anything."
Work Requisite for Success.
Speaking from his own experience,
Mr. Scott said that every young man
can riso if he. is willing to work; thai
if he takes a genuine interest in the
business most bosses will take a de
light in promoting him.
"Get out of a job you don't like,"
was his advice. "If you don't like
your work, you can't put it over. You
will drag you down."
Mr. Scott is less than forty years
old and he'made various comment3 o.i
his experience in the business world
since ho was a railroad clerk fifteen
years ago.
