FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1936 PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY Word Endings Discussed By L. L. Rockwell Dictionary Editor Speaks To Linguistic Institute At Luncheon Meeting "The Ending 'le' in Early Modern English" was the subject of a talk given by Prof. Leo L. Rockwell, as- sistant editor of the Early Modern English Dictionary, at the regular luncheon meeting of the Linguistic Institute held yesterday on the ter- race on the second floor of the Union. "Word ending in 'le' appear every- where in the English language," Pro- fessor Rockwell stated, "And they are especially obvious to me af- ter making a study of them. There are more than 1,000 of them in the modern English words." Professor Rockwell went on to show how 'le' is associated with the in- dividual's vocabulary. Using his own life as an example, he pointed out thtt in his pre-school days he first became acquainted with 'le' words such as bubble, icicle, twinkle. At a slightly older age came words associated with his Sunday School lessons. Among them were disciple, and apostle. Throughout his school- ing new 'le' ending words came to! his attention. A later stage was the extension and reinforcement period when words already in his vocabulary took on different meanings. Double for example underwent a number of changes such as double meaning twice, double meaning a two base hit in base ball, and double as a term in bridge playing. Professor Rockwell pointed out that every year words ending in 'le' were added to the English language as a whole. The highest peak in a graph of the number of new words was reached in 1590. An interesting phase of words with 'le' endings is that they include verbs, nouns and adjectives, he said. Some of these even serve two purposes such as people and to people; nibble and to nibble. The next luncheon of the Lin- guistic Institute will be held at noon Tuesday when Prof. Norman L. Wil- ley of the German department will speak on "Struiberg's Work in Mex- ican Linguistics. At 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Prof. J. M. Bolling of Ohio State University will lecture on "Homer and Linguis- tics" in Room 2003 Angell Hall. Crazed. Father Slays Roomer, WholeFamily Shoots Steel Worker After Killing Wife, 6 Children, Then Commits Suicide INDIANA HARBOR, Ind., July 9. -(AP)-Celestino P. Gonzalez, 36, ap- parently maddened by jealousy and ill health, police said, hacked his wife and six children to death with an axe today, then shot and killed Jose Aro, a roomer in their home, and him- self. Gonzalez killed Aro in the locker room of the Inland Steel Company, where both were employed, as work shifts were changing and in the presence of several other employes. No words were exchanged as Gon- zalez walked up to Aro, fired four shots in his body, and then turned the gun on himself. Both died in- stantly. Police had some trouble identify- ing the two men and then learning their address. Finally they went to the Gonzalez home but found the doors locked and left. Late this afternoon they returned to the home and found it still locked, and battered in a door. On the floor and in the beds of the small house were the body of Mrs. Gonzalez and their six children, all dead, all hacked and mutilated with a bloody axe which lay nearby. The children, ranging in age from 2 to 17 years, were four boys and two girls. There was no particular evi- dence of struggle and police surmised that Mrs. Gonzalez and the older children had been killed as they slept. As they reconstructed the crime, Gonzalez arose before the rest of the family-Aro had gone to work at midnight-obtained the axe and killed his family. Then washing the bloodstains from himself and taking his pistol he went t th steel com- pany. Aro's shift had just come off ;work and the latter was changing clothes as Gonzalez rushed in and killed him. Police said Gonzalez had been in ill health and they assumed he either had lost his mind or had a fancied or real cause for jealousy of Aro, who had lived with the family for some time.

Prof. Greene Sees Advance In Tests For Mental Measurement, Educators Will Open Sessions Here Monday Summer Session Education Conference Meets For Seventh Time The seventh annual Summer Edu- cation Conference, dealing with issues in Michigan education, }will be held July 13 through July 17, by the edu- cation school, Dean James B. Edmon- son of that school, chairman of the conference, announced yesterday. It is anticipated, Dean 'Edmonson said, that this year's conference will be, attended by several hundred teach- ers and school officials. Among the topics to be considered during the conference are "The Financing of Education" and "Academic Freedom." During the past six summers the education school has sponsored a two- day conference on significant issues. The interest taken in these confer- ences has been very encouraging, the dean said, and there now appears to be a demand for a longer period for the informal study of problems of im- mediate concern to educational lead- ers. "To meet this demand," Dean Ed- monson said, "the School of Educa- tion is sponsoring a five-day con- ference as a part of the program for the 1936 Summer Session. While the conference is planned primarily for supervisory and administrative offi- cials, the sessions are open to any- one interested in educational prob- lems, including teachers, school board members and officers of parent-teach- er associations." State Superintendent Eugene El- liott and his associates will have charge of the program Thursday morning, July 16. The policies of the State department of public in- struction will be reviewed at that time. Dr. A. J. Phillipps of the Mich- igan Education Association will have charge of the program on Friday morning, July 17. There will be no fees or require- ments for participation in the sum- mer conference. The speakers will be drawn very largely from the staff of the Summer Session, including a number of visiting professors from other institutions. Gov.

For many years r people have been comparing a. per- r son's score with that of the average, e and giving him an I.Q. which shows d what per cent of normal growth he e has achieved. The I.Q. assumes that 9 all persons grow steadily," the speaker t, said. b Professor Greene showed a slide r demonstrating that persons do not l grow physically in a steady manner, and said that our mental functions probably grew in the same way. "Courtis, working, on many kinds of data, has found a common growth curve which he has described very accurately," the speaker said. "He proposed to measure growth in terms of the proportion of the total growth 7 period, because he felt that then units 1 r are more comparable than scores of I amounts or percents. f "Any indivdiual growth curve is probably a series or combination of s many smaller curves," he said. i Among the recent applications of N test results, Professor Greene named the following: "1. The planning of educational I progress and the evaluation of such administrative arrangements as sec- tioning of students according to abil- ity, articulated programs, and cur- ricula of various types of skills. Here the child's profile of interests, achievements, and past training will give a much more accurate picture of the effects of schooling than the customary examinations. "2. The analysis and correlation of information, skills and interests with physical types, glandular dys- functions, insanities, and feeble- mindedness. The application of care- ful measurement in these fields is be- j ing actively pushed by clinical psy- chologists. "3. In the field of social adjust- ' ments, such problems as the compari- son of happily married and divorced persons have been studied by Terman and his students. Thurstone and his students have developed an interest- ing and fairly reliable series of mea- sures of beliefs or prejudices about political, social moral, and religious questions. A large and fruitful ap- plication of measurement is also found in distinguishing delinquency and those with delinquent tendencies so that theymay be given adequate treatment before they have become serious offenders. "4. -Measurement is an important link in industrial selection and training. The best example of this is probably the Federal and state civil service examinations.

Private industry and vo- t cational guidance are also turning s toward mental measurement for the t solution of many of their problems." it After predicting rapid advance- c ment in mental measurement in the r next ten years, Professor Greene said that "with prediction comes respon- r sibility. If we know that an ideal r type of behavior will probably de- velop under a particular environ- c ment and course of training, then we r have Phe possibility of controlling the c environment and the training to pro- duce that particular ideal.

Nights Rates: $1.50 over Ann Arbor $2.50 over Ann Arbor, Ypsi, and Saline Available at ANN ARBOR AIRPORT Free Auto Transport As Alternative To Mackinac Bridge Seen 1'+1ew NEGAUNEE, Mich., July 9. - (A) - Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald, heading a Republican campaign drive in the Upper Peninsula, advocated today the elimination of tolls for automobile ferry service across the Straits of Mackinac. He said the ferries operated across the 12-mile strip of water separating the lower and upper peninsulas are as essentially a part of the State highway system as any other and should be maintained by the State out of gasoline and weight tax monies without cost to the motorist. The proposal for free ferry serv- ice was regarded by observers as an alternative to the proposed $30,000,- 0,00 straits bridge.
