Testers Tickle Tiny Tots
To Tell Tactile Touch
Some of the events around rumpus
are Retting a little confusing these
days. Eighteen year old girls are lend
ing four year old children around
calmly, other small waifs are wonder
ing around buried in deep psychology
testing books and the old scenes of
Soioman's court are being re-enacted
daily, with one freshman screaming at
another sophomore, "You can't have
that child—he's mine!" Hut don't let
it worry yott too much, the rumors
aren't true; they haven't really added
a maternity ward to the Bio dept. and
three year olds can't enter the fresh
man class—even if they do pass the
entrance exams. It's merely that the
Child Psych class is working on real
kids these days. Every other day,
down in the hut, some innocent child's
intelligence (and Mrs. Milner's pa
tience) are being thoroughly tested by
some aspiring young lietiet who has

Miss Dorothy Gilbert Writes
Outline for Faculty Use At
Coming Friends Conference
At a recent meeting of the Board of
Education of the Five Years Meeting
in America, plans for a Friends' Con
ference on Education were initiated.
This conference will be held from
October 17 to 20, l!4li at Enrlham Col
lege, liichmond, Indiana.
Miss Dorothy Gilbert, of the Guilford
English department, has written a
brochure which presents a discussion
outline for faculties of schools and
colleges to be represented at the con
ference and for other interested
Friends.
Two questions will be before the con
ference to help evaluate the strength
and the weakness of Quaker education.
First, after studying how each of the
schools represented translate Quaker

: read a chapter on how to administer
I. Q. tests, while the stude who lias
read two chapters, and is therefore an
authority, sits by and takes critical
notes 011 the performance.
The younger tykes are being ton baf
fled, by having some sweet young lady
coo and smile and then suddenly drop
them (on a couch you understand), to
exhibit the basic emotion of Fear
which is expected of them. However,
they are giving a little better results
in showing love when their Arogo-Areg-
I Stomachs are tickled. (This instinct is
also carried 011 into later life, many
young women exhibiting love at the
slightest, provocation even without
tickling in fact).
The older children are given ques
tions carefully calculated to test their
cognotive mental development: such as
"What color is your shirt, Herman?"

Guilford Men Ignore Close
Shave; Resemble Brushes
Most men will tell you thut whiskers
re no trouble lit nil but shaving them
off is renll.v a nuisance. This is prob
ably the reason for the attempt by
many of Guilford's students (mostly
mule) to grow a beard. Of course,
some people—not mentioning any names
—have had little experience with shav
ing due to their age, or rather, lack
of age.

are trying to return to the anthropoid
state, they have foliage of a number
