H TONS OF PAPER
Patrons will be interested to know • hat the first collection of waste paivr conducted by pupils in the local schoi 1 on last Friday netted a little more than throe tons of paper. This I 1 eject is being conducted under the sponsorship of the Putnam County Civilian Defense Committee and as part of the National Emergency I ogram of reclaiming for productive use as much waste paper as possible. The sale of the first week amounted to $30.63 which will go t > the current Red Cross Campaign. It is of some interest to know that if every community in the United States would have reclaimed its paper on the same population basis as in Greencastle. the total would have I n 78,000 tons of paper. The colli lion will be repeated on each Frii y. Patrons are to remember to put c ut containers of miscellaneous waste 1 per by 11:30 a. m. on each Friday i . irning. Magazines and newspapers ■Mould be sent to Ward Buildings by any elementary pupil.

Attention
We want to describe the wall paper situation as it exists today. Paper is one of the most important items that the government is insisting that we conserve.
Therefore wall paper manufacturers will have their allotment of raw paper sock drastically reduced, which will result in the curtailment of wall paper manufacturing this year. Fortunately we purchase our stock of wall paper a year in advance and our new 1942 stock is now coming in. .One shipment of twenty thousand rolls is on the floor now and more shipments will arrive within the next few days.
Regardless of the tremendous stock that we now have on hand, it will not be adequate to meet the normal demand for the season. The manufacturers can promise us nothing as to hew much wall paper they will be able to supply us with but they do promise us much higher prices.
Our advice would be to buy your wall paper now. We have a large stock of beautiful new 1942 Patterns at on advance in price over last vear.

Friday afternoon in the school aud- ' itorium. The intermediate grades ' opened the meeting with a program of music and pantomime entitled i "Good Neighbors of America'’ under 1 the direction of Miss Leah Curnutt j assisted by the room and student 1 teachers. Pantomimical pictures with fitting backgrounds were made by the children as the remainder of the grade sang the accompanying song. Program: Reader Miss Curnutt. Accompanists Miss Wetherell and Miss Drill. “Vision of Columbus”— 1. Columbus on the piers in Genoa. Bobby Huggard. 2. "Come Away Indian Maid,” Joe Mae Arnold. 3. “The Three Trappers,” George Bell.

Spangled Banner.” Dr. Middleton of DePauw University spoke on the subject "The Dependability of Mental Tests.” Using as his basic premise, the words of the German psychologist, Sterne, “Intelligence is the capacity of an iniividual to adjust adequately and normally to any new situation.” H^ stated that to insure the greatest possible amount of dependability we should employ only those tests whose validity and reliability have been determined, those whose scale of measurement has been properly standardized and given only under the most efficient administration. We are then able to derive an approximate estimation of the level of intelligence of an individual. Studies in field indicate that the intelligence quotient of an individual is a relatively constant factor and that his relative standing in the group does not vary. Dr. Middleton pointed out that If we employ expert interpretation there is some predictive valhe in tests. To some extent we can use the results of these tests to determine homogeneous grouping, curriculum adjustments according to the individual and in many instances, causes and prevention of retardation. Questions and answers were graciously received. After a brief business meeting parents and teachers conferred for a short time.
