9 E"'H THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1935 EIGHT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1935 State Buys Up Property For New Institute New Site For Children's Home Is On Washtenaw Despite Protests The bitter fight of Washtenaw Ave- nue property owners to prevent the establishment of the Michigan Chil- dren's Institute on the Hoover prop- erty failed in itsnfirst phase as the purchase of the property by the State was concluded yesterday. Warnings of legal action should the 'State proceed with its plans to locate the Institute in this residential dis- tricthave been voiced by thetproperty owners, who contend that their in- terests are common with those of the entire city. At a meeting last night at the home of Dr. S. W. Donaldson on Melrose Ave., 17 residents reiterated their in- tentions of continuing their opposi- tion. Propose Zoning Changes Proposed changes in zoning ordin- ances being considered by the city council, intended to permit the estab- lishment of the Institute on the Hoo- ver property, will set a dangerous precedent and destroy the city's entire zoning system, the property owners asserted. "The representatives of the State welfare department, when they were here before," the group's spokesman declared, "made the statement that they were reluctant to locate in any place where they were not wanted. It seems to be a policy of saying one thing and doing another." Many Offers Cited Offers from the University and the University Hospital were cited by the spokesmen as evidence that the Hoo- ver property was not a necessary site for the Institute. The distance from the University Hospital, the heavy traffic, and the restrictions were mentioned by Prof. Walter Sadler of the department of civil engineering, president of the city council,, as evidence that the Hoover site was no better suited for the Institute than others. Those who attended the meeting last night are: Bradley M. Thompson, Dr. M. D. Mackoy, Dr. Nathan B. Eddy, O. A. Moe, Otto W. Haisley, su- perintendent of schools, Prof. W. C. Hoad, Louis E. Burke, Harry Howkins, Charles Henderson, Prof. G. E. Dens- more, Norman Ottmar, William C. Walz, D. B. Conley, Prof. Peter Field, Dr. W. S. James, Prof, O. S.

Plea In Behalf Of Indians Is Voicedl GRAND RAPIDS, Oct. 24. -(P) - A plea for religious freedom for the American Indian and the observa- tion that to crush their native faiths "is only to make them godless human beings" was made today by John Collier, United States commissioner for Indian affairs, in an address at the morning session of the annual convention of the joint American board and midwest regional meeting of Congregational and Christian churches. "It is only the member of a re- ligious cult who himselfrcan judge whether his religion is a religion,, Collier told his audience, represent- ing missionaries from all over the world. "He is entitled to the fullest constitutional protection that is guaranteed to the religious con- science. There are important Indian groups who have no religion but their native one. To crush it is only to make them godless human beings ** * to tear them apart is to tear apart the Indian's very protoplasm. Final results on the scoring of the freshmen psychological and English achievement tests showed an averageI rating of 214 for the psychological exam and 136 for the English test. These scores indicated a two point rise in the psychological test average and approximately a two point de- cline in the English test average over last year's scores. Results of the English test showed a considerable deficiency in spelling ability among this year's freshmen while slight advances were made over last year's ratings in word usage and vocabulary scores. Scores in the Psychological test ran all the way from 5a, one extreme, to 367, at the other. Results in the English test showed a similar width of range, stretching from a low of 21 to a high of 242. This year, for the first time in the history of these aptitude tests, two students made the same high score; in this case, 367. One of these two students also made the high score on the English achievement examina- tion. A significant change in the aptitude tests this year has been the division of the scores into percentiles rather than quartiles. This was done be- cause of the fact that under the for- mer method a student with a percen- tile rating of 26 would be placed in the same group as a student with a percentile rating of 49, thus making it difficult for the advisers to take ac- count of each freshman in accurate relation to the entire group. WPA FUNDS TOTALED University and city requests for WPA funds total $538,894.40a com- pilation by the municipal construc- tion committee of the city council revealed yesterday. Funds for 27 projects have been requested. Two requests for funds for minor con- struction work have been granted. PRINTING , LOWEST PRICES PROGRAMS, BIDS, STATIONERY THE ATHENS PRESS Downtown, North of Postoffice Flying Fish Called Closest Likeness To Modern Plane Flying fish, not birds, are nature's closest likeness to the modern air- plane, declares Dr. Carl L. Hubbs, curator of fishes of the zoology mu- seum of the University, in a publica- tion of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. Since all attempts to imitate .the birds method of flight by means of] flapping wings have failed, man has7 adopted the rigid wing, comparablet to the rigidly held gliding fins of thet flying fish. For power, man dependsi on a propeller. The flying fish, Dr.1 Hubbs shows, uses a "pusher" propel- ler, its tail. The chief difference is that this tail propeller works onlyt in the water where it is rapidly lashedI back and forth.] After getting up sufficient speed, the flying fish "hops off" to glide through the air. Viewed from be-j hind, the fish is observed to keep its] "wings" rigid except when tipping them for a turn, much 'as the ailerons of a plan moves to make a bank. The flying fish neyer flaps its fins and its1 excursions into the air are brief, never lasting more than twelve or thirteen seconds, according to Dr. Hubbs' ob- servation. Fireman's Manual Recently Published "Fire Fighter's Manual," developed by a group of officers in a series of conferences held in this state, and ar- ranged by Prof. Thomas Diamond and Frank Dalton, of the vocational education department of the School; of Education, has recently been pub- lished. "The book should serve as an aid in the training of firemen," explained Prof. George E. Myers, chairman of the vocational education department. "Fire department officers may use.it in training new men. They may re- fer their men to it in cases where they are seeking information on the matters discussed."

The institutions will map their own work projects and pay students for their help. The most any one student may receive is $15 a month. Dr. Ha- ber said the budget is designed to aid 3,534 students, but that a greater number will profit if more students find that they can supplement their present income with less than $15 a month.
