“WHERE YOUR DOLLARS HAVE MORE CENTS”
8T. LOUIS, Mo.— (AP) —-The
old-time schoolmaster who used a
rod to help his pup Is along the
road of learning probably was
merely conforming to the con
vent one of hie t.'me, but psycho
logical experiments conducted by
Dr. Marlon E. Bunch at Washing,
ton Untvers’ty Indicate that hla
methods had a Bound scientific
foundation.
The experiments, for which 80
atudente were enlisted as sub
jects. showed a distinct score Jn
favor of “pun'shraent" when not
too aevere. Divided into groups
of 20 men and 20 women esch,
they ware given the task of learn,
lag, at a single sitting, to move
a metal stylus along the fro#
path of a concealed mass con
sisting of grooves In a brass
plate. .
One group was pun'ahed with
•ltctr'e aback* for errors and It*
record was compared with that of
the otber group, which received
no punishment. The blind alleys
of tho mast ended at plugs flxatj
In th. grooves which wars hook,
od up with a battery and could
bo made to produce the shock
when touched . with the stylus.
Records also were kept of unpun.
lettable errors, such as tho re.
dg) tracement over a part or all of a
)ri section of the free pathway and
©1 the retreat from a blind allay
after entering It.
The atudente who wore eub.
jected to pun'shment. It was
found, aeh'eved an 80 percent
acorn, having learned to move the
stylus correctly through the mass
four time* out of five consecutive
trials, with only half a» many
trials on the average as those
who had no such Incentive, and
In about 30 percent leu t'me.
They were more cant'one than
tbe others, taking about 34 per.
cent more time for each trial, but
they made 30 percent fewer er.
rors, the reduc'.lon being notice,
able not only for those which
brought a shock bnt for those
which did not entail punishment
It was observed sleo that the d U
fcrcnce In psrformance among In

Wilkinson Explains
By Small Personal Privilege
And Responsibility
By joan McGregor
(Student in Henry W. Grady
School of Journalism)
Tenons! privileges and i
•ponsKilitiaa are eternally linked
together,” said Dr. J. C. W.lkin-
n. pastor of the Fint Baptist
urch, in his sermon Sunday
turning.
-Each one of us is false to him
self if he accepts pleasures with'
out taking respons.bility,” he con.
tinned, citing thanksgiving u one
of the expreuioni and reactions
to privilege. The greatest thing
in education today, ha said, is
teaching youth to meet the re
sponsibilities of Ific.
Illustrating the ways in whlca
responsibilities have been met. Dr
Wilkinson told several incidents
from tho Bible.
-Humanity has a capacity for
voluntary contribution,” tho pas-
tor continued,', explaining that itt
the early church every man gave
ell that he had, and the work of
tbe deacons was to distribute
money.
“Visions nearly always coire
when men’s ears and eyas! are
open; whan there is a pressing
need,” he told his congregation, in
connection with the “Battle of
the Pitchers” in which th* Israel-
ites overcame tho MMianites by a
military rasa.
“The dangers of today are spir
itual, and the solution of them i»,
apir.tual. To solve them w* must
est way to build up such resist
ance, he said, is through the!
church. Th* man wkr measu-es

that never shirked responsibility

WASHINGTON. — (AP)—Look.
Ing down on the senate this sea-
stun from h s presiding seat,
Vies 'President Dawes will see
almost constantly be.ore him bis
successor In office — Senator
Charles Curtis of Kansas.’
Moreover, os republican leader
of the senate, tbe next vice pres.
IdOnt will be thrown In dally
contact with Mr. Dawes. It is the
probability that tbe session will
find Senatop Curtis arguing
against decfs'ons of tbe presiding
off eer on some of which he him-
se t will be celled to decide In
the next congress.
Tbe situation la a new one for
tbe senate. Not In the last half
century has the vice president,
whose duty It Is to pres do over
the senate, been chosen from
that body's ranks. Back in 1832,
n.wemr, John C. Calhoun resign-
ed as vice president to become a
senator from South' Carolna. •
Tbe picteri* th 1 '- session might
well b* entitled “the master and
pu^.i, bui it Happens tnat the
pupil, Senator Cnrtie, is a preco-
cion* ore. for he is the author of
much of the master’s text book—
tne hook on rules.
In his third of a century in
congrosaeSenator Curtis has been
particularly interested in the
framing of rules, and he is re-
carded as an expert on the sub
ject. For many years he has
bean chairman of the senate
rules committee, and he takes
office next March 4 probably one
of the beat qualified presiding
officers of the senate in history.
Senator Curtis ii credited with
the authorship of that rule pro-
venting the addition of new legit-
lation to bills when they were in
the hands of senate and honae
conferees for adjustment of dif
ferences between the two
branches of congress. Many
“jokers" were slipped into legis
lation in the old days by this
route.
Vice President Dawes enters
hit last session with his high
hope unfulfilled—revision of the
rules to permit the limitation of
debate. In an inauguration
speech almost unparalleled in se
verity Mr. Dawes four years ago
demanded that the senate make
this drastic change in its long
standing rules which put a few
ban against debate.
No change whatever has been
made in the rule* during his term
and it seems likely that Mr.
Dawes will retire with the senate
still proud of it* self-given name
—“the world’* greatest delibera-
tive body.’’ Debate is still un
checked. ^ ,
