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

A subjective test is a test on tle

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

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
