' A testing cycle which covers accuracy and speed is in progres . A WBig Ten' chart records the high ten speeds in the class following each speed test. These speed tests are alternated with accuracy tests which are recorded daily on a 'Bull's Eye Chart.' If no errors are made an arrow with the student's name on it is placed in the center circle. If one error is made, the arrow is placed in the first Wcircleg if two are made, the arrow is placed in the second circle. More than two errors places the student's arrow in the field. , On the side bulletin board is a theromemeter for each student. As speed increases the Wredn mer- cury of the theromemeter rises. In this manner the up to date record of one's best speed is kept. Interest in the charts has been high and they make the oth- erwise monotonous testing seem somewhat intreging as students watch their individual daily progress. The importance Of the type- writer to the army is unques- tioned. It is used in such types of army work as preparation of correspondence, bulletins, memo- randa, circulars, general orders, special orders, various forms, and many other miscellaneous military matters. However, accuracy is absolutely necessary in this work. There is but one standard for the work. It must be correct! Students who have learned the touch system of typing in high school have been aided in many ways in both civilian and mili- tary roles.

In the field of biology and physics there are many educa- tional films available. While studying the unit of mammals in biology, we saw films showing how elephants are train- ed, the habits of the badger and gray squirrel, and reproduction of the rabbit from the time of the fertilization of the egg une' til the birth of the young rabbit, During these war days when travee ling is llmlted, we were able to enjoy a visit to the zoo in New York City, where we met many of the strange animals of the world. A colored film on the nesting and 'feeding habits of the ruby'Uuuat- ed humming bird was very instruc- tive-and interesting. I By movie, the physics class has visited the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York. There we saw the processes used in making films, cameras, and photographic paper, The inside workings of valves pistons, and ejeoters of Diesel engines have become more real to us whem visulized on the screen. Recently we traveled to Alaska with Lowell Thomas and Father Hubbard, the Glacier Priest, and with them visited the blrthplaces of 1ce4 bergs. These films are contracted through Indiana University, but are made by such companies as General Motors, Johns-Manville, Eastman Kodak, United States De- partment of Agriculture and Fox Films, Combining visuallearnlng with text book reading has proved both enjoyable and educational. soy scour Auuivamsaay ossmivso February 12 to 17 marked the 56th Anniversary' of the Boy Scouts in America.

-In A EATON AGAIN EMEHGES AS WINNER A throng of more than 5,000, one of the largest in Co. Tourney history, witnessed the opening game of the annual affair as the Eaton Norsemen sailed down the victory steam when they once again did away with the Center Spartans. The Spartans kept up their noted tradition of always being at their best in a tournament as the Norsemen had quite a time in gaining control of the purple and white team. The Spartans had a habit of coming back every time the Eaton lads built up a sizable lead and kept up this practice until late in the game. They started strong- ly and at the end of the first period looked their best as they battled the Norsemen on even terms at 5 all. From there on, the Norse led at all stopping points, 18 to 12 at the half and 54 to 22 at the end of the third when they staged a twelve-point lead which the Spartans were not able to destroy. Honorable work was done by Reibeling as he scored 10 points fh the last half. Huffman and Smoot also proved valuable since each scored 8 markers. Prewett enabled the Norse to get their offense into working order as he came into the game in the second period. He immediate scored two baskets and added another fielder and two fouls in the final half for 8 points.' Long range shooting done by Monroe for his Spartan team proved to be of great yalue to them since he scored 22 of his team's 52 points. He was the only Center player who was able to shoot regularly over the tall Eaton aerensegg V G F T. ' G F.T.

Tournament the Eaton Norsemen were bumped off by the Selma Bluebirds 52 to 25. It was a harum-sacrum contest as both teams displayed skill ing I 4 hcndling the bell and were adept at defensive action. Selma pos- sessed the better basket eye as the Norsemen Seemed unable to fhw the target amid their long shoot- ing ranges. It was tight through the first three periods although Selma held the lead 5 to 2 at the end of the first stanza and 18 to 9 at the half. The Norse outscored the Bluebirds in a determined third quarter surge by narrowing the count to 20 to 17 at the end of that period. At this point the Bluebirds became shaky in the face of the Eaton drive. Scott led a Selma rally that was launched with the opening of- the final period and the Blue- birds scored 7 points in two minutes and at the same time they held the Norsemen scoreless to take an ll-point lead. That was about the end of it, although the purple and gold gang came back again near the end of the game through the efforts of Roberts who tossed three field baskets in the closing minutes. B. Boggs led the winners with 10 points. Roberts, Reibeling, Smoot, Lewellen, and Huffman all played good ball as a unit for the Eaton squad. Roberts scored 9 points on four field baskets and B foul. This was the best-played game of the tournament with skillful actions displayed by both teams. G F T G F T Chalfant Reibeling Sheward Lewellen P. Boggs Prewett Madlll Roberts B.

This defeat adds up to the Cardinals 55th loss in a row as they were again wiped off the basketball maps ' It was strictly purple and gold all the way through. The Norse jumbed all over the Harri- son boys starting with a 15 to 4 lead in the, first quarter and ending the session with the tab- ulation of 54 to 21. It was merely basket practice for the Norsemen squad as they easily steered their way under the basket for 'lay-ups.' They allowed the Cardinals to receive no more than 7 points ln any quarter. I I The Eaton seconds again came to life as they bagged their game also with the Freshman team fin- ishing up the affair and doing a good job. G.F.T. G.F.T.

Because of the great contrast in Washington and Lincoln, we know ,that neither handicaps nor favors lcompletely WmakeW a DGPSOH- 2Llncoln was poor and suffered imany defects, but he finally ibecame victorious, winning favor with all classes of people. Un- like Lincoln, Washington was aristocratic and well-educated the 'easy wayW, but he understood -the common man, too. With examples before us, like the experiences of these two great men, we should take advant- age of all opportunities tobetter ourselves and be thankful that the way is less difficult for us. When wethink of the difficulty Lincoln had in educating himself, never again should we let one piece 'of knowledge pass without grasping at least a part of it. ,Before we complain about the inconveniences of our education, '1et's think how insignificant they are as compared with Lincoln's. ' Also, a good education is a necessity for our complex society of today. In order to maintain the high civilization of our country, our education will have to be high and more universal. Most important of aD, a democracy cannot kng endure without a well- informed public, and the public will not be wellbinformed without education. Even the right man- ipulation of our many complex machines requires s good educa- tion. So, to become -better American citizens and to enjoy happier and fuller lives, may we strive on for the best education possible. . ..... .... Be able to use minutes.
