F. Smith, professor of psychology and philosophy, on his article, Direction Orientation in Children" from Pierre Jaccard, professor at Wooster College, Ohio, and an authority on psychology. The article appeared in the March volume of the Journal of Genetic Psychology. In his article Dr. Smith writes of an experiment in which people were blindfolded, stood facing north, and were told to denote directions on a dial. It was found that age was a great aid in accuracy, but, had less influence with the time required to denote the direction. None of the subjects showed an inherent sense of direction, nor was practice noticeably helpful. Another article of Doctor Smith's, "The Relative Quickness of Visual and Auditory Perceptions", was published in the April number of the Journal of Experimental Psychology. V. I. o. Students Make Trips To State Institutions Interesting and instructive visits were paid by Dr. Smith's psychology class and Dr. Williams' sociology tflass to the State Hospital and Penitentiary at 4 o'clock last Friday afternoon.

Bell, director of the religious organizations at the institution. The purpose of the camp is to introduce to the freshman what is expected of him while at college, how to matriculate and how to study. Open discussions will be held, and the men will come into close contact with some of their professors and the dean of the school in which they are registering. The orientation camp, the first to operate in the South," has been running each fall for six years, and has proved very valuable to the large number of men attending it. In addition to instructive advice and talks given the freshmen, recreation is provided them in the form of boating, swimming, baseball, and other minor sports. u. s. c.

The group will go first to Fort Moultrie for <k training period of two weeks and tTien will be to work in the forests. The men are all picked and. have been rigidly examined for physical fitness. Those leaving for camp that previously attended Carolina are the following: Eugene Cathcart, Gaillard Crawford, William Farnum, Leage Hamilton, Frank M. Harvin, Jr., Charles Lillard, Anderson Riley, Walter Sims, and Frank Wardlaw! Those who were named as alternates, Saul Kohn and Ralph Lillard, Maj. George R. F. Cornish, state recruiting officer of the United States army, and a staff of seven regular army officers, were conducting physical examinations. Lieutenant Michael G. Smith, of the 82nd division, is acting recruiting officer. Major Cornish said he had his entire staff at work and praised the efficiency with which the examinations were made. The physician in charge of examinations said as a whole the young men were in splendid physical condition, very few defects having been found, and most of those due to poor eyesight. Modified army examinations, but nevertheless rigid, were being used. As soon as the men arrived from their respective counties, they were registered, tagged, stripped and examined thoroughly. Before being sent to Columbia, the young men were picked by county relief councils to facilitate the enrollment by the state council, central agency for the enlistment, and to expedite the work of the recruiting officers. Jack D. Wooten, executive secretary of the Richland relief council said the men were handpicked for character, mental alertness, physical ability and willingness to take advantage of the opportunity offered. u. a. o. Rembert. The following were initiated: Mary Stuart Aycock, Frank McLane, Jack Payne, William Woods,, and Marion Emerson. After the initiation plans for the next meeting were made and a discussion of the ball to be held early next fall took place. The next meeting of the club will be in the form of a picnic. Plans have not yet been definitely perfected but members will be notified through the secretary as soon as possible. The next meeting will be held next Tuesday instead of the first Tuesday in June to prevent conflict with examinations. The club was recently formed along lines similar to that of organizations of the same kind all over the country. Membership is limited to thirty members selected from students in the departments of fine arts, dramatics, and music. At present the group is composed of twenty-nine members. Semimonthly meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. I'.d Sallenger is president of the group and Helen Terry is secretary. ^ FIVE POINTS DRUG STORE Call Us?
