J To The Editor £ * - ★
J Aspirin, Ohio, Feb. 28: To J * the Editor of the Daily Tro- * i jan: During an after-dinner * talk at the Dreakfast club, a J well-known educational expert remarked that all any psychologist needed in order to find out all about human nature was a couple of white mice and a yard stick. This remark is a gross exaggeration. One mouse is sufficient.
Dr. Karl T. Waugh, dean of psychology, during a recent movie studio visit demonstrated psychology’s latest toy, the galvanascope, which is used to test human emotions One merely grabs hold of an electron attachment, inhales a perfume odor, and the jiggling of a needle writes out the true story of your big and weak moments. Dr. Waugh admitted that coeds were too placid in temperament to make good subjects for experiment, so that he was forced to pick on movie stars.	•
Maybe a co-ed's response to a perfume odor may be slightly anemic, but show one a Sig Chi pin, a sable coat, a bid to a swell formal, or a blind date with the football captain and watch the needle melt as it gets hotter and hotter.
Yours for bigger and weaker moments.

Court Awards S. C. $200,000 Bequest
San Francisco, Feb. 28-(PCNS) —Payment of $200,000 to the University of Southern California from the estate of Mrs. Sarah P Livingston of Redondo Beach, in accordance with a gratuitious subscription agreement was ordered today by the state supreme court. Mrs. Livingston had pledged the money with the proviso that it would be paid after her death. She died in 1923.
The money, as she decreed, will be used to establish an endow ment fund to further the work of
pressionlstlc, futuristic, and modernistic ideas.
Carrying out the impressionistic idea the cover of the magazine was done by Bryant Hale, a former editor of the Kat, and it is his impression of the month of February with its many holidays and special days of interest. "Limelight Girl,” the serial written and illustrated by Muriel Phelps, is continued in this issue. Lolly, the heroine, in this installment falls in and out of love and has some new and exciting experiences which prepare one for the final Installment of the story which will appear next month.
“She Stewed a Chipmunk” is typically a college story in which biology has a great deal to do with a love affair. This story was written by Dorothy Banker and illustrated by a new member of the art staff. Mildred Rich. Aggie Zilch, the much talked of campus author has his protrait in this issue along with the story which In
rote entitled "Fields of Slander.

"Serenades from the Back Fence” will again appear in the Wampus. This is a section devoted to cohiments on campus life and campus activities which might be improved upon and which are of common interest to all readers of the magazine.

“Japan claims tliat it has the* largest percentage of literacy of any nation in the world,” stated Bishop James C. Baker, student advisor of the University of 11 linois and Methodist leader in Korea and Japan, who spoke at the all-university rally held last Friday In Bovard auditorium.
In Ills talk on the modern trend of Japanese thinking, Bishop 11a kor explained the educational con ditlons in Japan today. The aver age percentage of children attend ing grammar school is 99 percent or the greatest percentage of any nation in the world, stated Bishop Baker. The high schools, universities and colleges are overcrowd-
MANY GRADUATES
Tokio has more than one-hundred thousand men who have been graduated from its university, and has over two hundred thousand who are graduates from high school. "It undoubtedly has the largest metropolitan student population of any city in the world," he said.
In the Japanese schools there ls a remarkable absence of snob
bishness. One of the most notable reasons is that all of the students wear the same uniforms. The only distinguishing mark is an insignia worn on the uniforms which designates one school from another.
"Although Japan has a large percentage of students who liave been graduated from grammar schools, high schools, and colleges, only about fifty-percent of these are employed. As work is not plentiful in Japan, unrest is found among the graduates.” said Bishop Uaker.
UNEMPLOYMENT
The unemployment situation makes the students and young people of Japan anxious to understand the privations and sufferings of the poor, and leads them into the study of social and political conditions of their country. Ilishop Baker believes that this is one of the most encouraging aspects of modern Japan.
Introduction of Bishop Baker was made at the opening of the rally by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid. The rally was concluded with the singing of “All Hall."
Professor Julia Howell, chairman of tlie harmony and diction department of the College of Music, will teach a class in high school harmony at the Music supervisors’ national conference at Chicago.
