He will also cover the midwestern and western schools before he returns to his na- tive land. He is here at present. .Dr. Hegge, at the last meeting of the American Psychological associ- ation, gave a paper on some research work that he has done at the train- ing school in Vineland, New Jersey, in jreerence to the connection ;of mental age of feeble-mnded- with their ability to learn. His subjects were men from the life age of 8 to 54 years but with a mental age of 3 to 9 years, all inmates of th' training school. Studied Men In this experiment he read a story to the men, and also showed them pictures pertaining to the story. A set of simple questions were given and the answers graded. Dr. Hegge discovered that there is a connection between the me tal age of a feeble minded person and his abiity to learn meaningful, material and show good judgment in applying his know- ledge to a given situation. He, however, found that some sub- ,jects with a mental age lower than otesshowed better judgment and better scores than their more "intel- ligent" associates. From these tests Dr. Hegge observed that it is diff- cult to draw conclusions from the subject's scores in so-called intelli- gence tests as to their learning ca- pacity, which is the main problem in the educational point of view. He emphasizes the need for further study of this very learning capacity, and intends to conduct another test with the feeble-minded of an insti- tution in the state of Michigan. Al- though he has visited several other similar schools, he has not found any that determines the patient's ability to learn things logically and to use1 his judgment. Interested in Memory Dr. Hegge's main interest, howev- er, has been for the last few years in connection with the problem of logical memory in reference to nor- mal adults. He has been writing on this subject, his latest work being a monograph published in German as the 13th supplementary volume of the leading German journal of psy- chology. Despite the fact that Dr. Hegge has been in this country since last July, he has already mastered the English language. He first came to the Ulni- versity in the early part of November and intends to stay six months long- er. He has been offered a position as visiting lecturer at the George Pea- body College for Teachers at Nash- ville, Tennessee, but declined to re- main here. His fellowship is of two years duration. At his home university e is the only one devoting his full time to the study of psychology, which is a branch of the philosophy department. Psychology in the smaller European countries has no independent chair, and is taught as a physiological sub- ject. L~ecturer Speaks On 'League Of Nations~ "Here is a kind o Washington for the whole world, a headquarters for every people," declared Dr. Francis S. Onderdonk of the architectural school while speaking of Geneva and the League of Nations during an il- lustrated lecture given yesterday af- ternoon in room 231 Angell hall un- der the auspices of the Tolstoy lea- gue. The lecture was given in honor of the ninth anniversary of the found- ing of the League of Nations. In keeping with the occasion, pic- tures showing the different stages of the work of the league were secured from New York.

YOAKUM GIVES ADDRESS TO MEN'S EDUCATIONAL CLUB ON ERESHMAN WEEK Prof. Clarence S. Yoakum of the School of Business Administration, in com-n'enting upon freshman week, told 30 members of the Men's Educa- tional club Monday night that "the purpose of testinig college students is to get the technique by which to de- termine as soon as possible the lead- ers of the future." Prof. William A. Frayer of the hitr eatet h a 's~scheduled to participate in the di- cussion of freshman week, was un- able to lie' present at the meeting. Two groups of reports on freshman week were discussed b~y Professor Yoakum. The first was that affecting{ attendance. In this respect Professor, Yoakum stated, "Fresh-mmen on thej whole started out with good intentions but toward the end of the week at- tendanice at scheduled. events literally melted away. This was not due par- ticularly to ,the freshmen but to a great many advisors who also seemed to have 'melted away."' This was partly due, he said, to a difference in emphasis, as the eventsj of the first few days were stressed! more than those for later in the week.I It, was also true that the adlvisors were very hard to find during the lat- ter part of the week, beginning even as early as the second day. tion?" was one question that "Profes- The second group of r'eports were orYoakum put to the mnen of t he those of the advisors andl concerned1clbIethnpiedothaig difficultiles and(1outstanding freshmen, freshmen outstanding for the interest' school grades and even the gra ti(' that tihey seemed to take in the Uii; made by a freshman during his first versity and freshmnen outstanding for year at college are poor indications opposite interests.
