We must first see to it that first equality of opportunity; that each shall have an equal to attain the same standard. In order to do this, the rural school must be wiling to supply a number of things she now lacks. For example, we find many rural pupils spending an entire vear reading through a first reader two or three times while the grade pu- pils, if course is up to date, will have read through three different first read- ers, thus increasing and widening their reading experignce. Again, we find the great majority or rural pupils have never read a book from a standard author, or very few them, through before they enter High school and so when they asked to read eight books a year, they consider it a great task, while others with wider experience will haves the end of the great major ural pupils scholastically as well High school that they standard both, but this can prepared pis Tor grade pu is for this to be re formulate a ume for ircumstances want present ison the we to be just to At is to enough best that but the standard, to set a serve all have that chance 18, of are ail of th before first Reading the cause it i } l 2a.

A classification test is a test to de- termine the mentality of the child and consists of a number of simple tests and problems to be performed in a certain limited time. We are all glad for the new method because it will be a better and more fair measure of the child. The next meeting will some time in September, Jury room. COURT PROCLAMATION.

Ea — RADIO STATION AT AIR MAIL changed building Josi Pritchard, $40.000 is in hotel NEW FIELD Direction Finder Will Ald Tost Aviators—Elghty Foot Tower. Some of the prestige lost by Belle fonte last fall when the local alr mall field was made an emergency landing station instead of a regular landing field, will be regained with the estab Hashing of amodern wireless direction finder within the month. The new the only one between New and Cleveland. will be instalied and operated by the Department Commerce, at Washington, PD. C who last fall took over the control of the radio and lighting systems in the alr mail service. With the new direction finder in op tration it will be practically impossible for a plane to become lost, even in the densest of fogs. for the aviator will be in constant communication with his nearest landing field. Each plane will carry a small device which will auto matically send out signals. which can be heard at the receiving station on the ground, while a similar device in the ground station sends out signals which can be heard by the pilot in the plane. The intensity of the signals is the basic factor in guiding the planes toward their destination. The plans for the new automatic stations at the Bellefonte alr mail fleld now before the Bureau of Standards for approval, call for a steel tower 80 feet in height, from the top of which are suspended four wires about 150 feet in length, which extend diagonal ly from the top to about 15 feet from the earth. Each of the four wires point in one direction of the compass. The tower will be located about 2600 feet south of the main building at the fleld, and will be connected to the ra- dio booth in the building by the un- derground cables, All work connected with the operation of the new instal lation will be in the hands of Harold Burhop and his assistant Weinberg and Linnviile, Mal ap- paratus, York of Mrs. Shirk Makes Mrs. Elizabeth 8h Harry CC.
