Lord of Vancouver Normal School, speaking" on "The Use and Abuse of Standardized Tests," at the Teachers Convention in Trail last week, said it was now admitted that the traditional thing called an examination, and that was once considered the proper means by which to measure the progress of pupils, was no accurate measure whatever. He asked of a measure used for guaging a pupil's knowledge, that it measure one thing and measure it exactly; "that it should not purport to measure one thing and at the same time take., other things into consideration. A familiar example was the paper on a particular subject that allotted points . for writing, spelling, form, and the like. .Mr. Lord illustrated his contention that the present type of examination' paper was noi. marked fairly to the pupil, .with an extensive test made at the -University of Toronto, with hand-written 100 papers that received marks of 35 to 40 per cent. Typed but preserving the original tests, they improved on an average eight points when submitted- to the same examiners as new papers. Typed again, with errors in - s'p'elling and grammar corrected, thoy gained another 12 to 15 points, and in a third form, with the-original subject matter dressed in improved phraseology,,they made' another appreciable gain." Tho conclusion, was reached, he said, that in'the original marking, thc examiners actually allotted 25 .to ,.40'points for tho pupil's knowledge. of the subject under test, and 'the balance for matters that were irrevalent. Besides being a valid and exact test, he required the measure used to be reliable, giving every time the samo results on tlie same facts. Impossibility of doing this with the -��� familiar essay type of paper, he illustrated with a test of his own,*wherein he erased thc marks on 20 papers and marked them again, not once duplicating thc first value he had given. Character.Tests Tests should be-'.-.-..-__: _'"" They should also be' an aid in teaching, he contended,' the period following an examination being the time when the pupils are eager to be informed on the matters treated of in the questions. Discussing the so-called .'intelligence tests at some lenght, Mr. Lord suggested dangers in'their use'except for guaging the abilities of a group. As applied to an individual, a single test was-not-at-all=conclusive,-and only-one person in a 100 was in a position to ten whether, on- such -a test a child was mentally, deficient. Too many teachers, he suggested, hastily assumed that some pupil was absolutely hopeless. Tests of mental ability should _be known as advancement- tests, not intelligence tests, he suggested. ' For giving a measure of a pupil's knowledge of subjects, Mr. Lord argued for the objective type of tests as op-, posed to the essay type.A. _ . He" also preferred papers that gave a large number of questions with the majority of which the pupil must have come in contact if he thouroughly covered the work, in preference to selecting five' to seven questions with which an efficent pupil might be lucky or which the efficient pupil might have missed. As to the passing mark, he said it was unfair to say the pupil must make a certain percentage to pass, While in the mass the children were constant, the teachers constant, and the curri- clum constant, the examination, because of the limits of the papers under present practice, was highly variable. On certain subjects, by working* out a large number of questions, eventually useful standard tests could be arrived at. The danger in the' objective type of examinations was that the ability of expression-by the essay would deteriorate. If that was its effect, that was sufficient to impair its- value most seriously (applause). Copper Industry Been Stabilized B. C.

No doubt the Ottawa Government will be issuing the usual proclamation for a national thanksgiving, in a few days. For .thirty years British Columbia has been the leading - producing prov- for' copper in Canada, responsible for two-thirds o.f the total output of the Dominion. Up to the end of last year the copper production, of this province had'reached 1,370,154,652 pounds, of a total value of $221,492,079., The output of copper exceeds that o of any other metal. Thanks to - British Columbia, Canada - occupies the position of the fourth largest copper-producing country in the world,- ranking only below the United States, Chile and Africa. The time has come, however, when the copper industry of this, province must look to maintaining its laurels. Ontario is making preparations for a large increase in copper production through the extension -of "operations at the nickel mines where copper is an important associate of'nickle. Quebec now has-its place in the copper sun, and is one of the largest sources of supply of the metal for the requirements of the British Metal Corporation which handles the entire output. Manitoba will, within" the next two years, become a big producer of copper. There is no. doubt that copper is again king in the world's metal-markets.' It ranks next to iron and steel as the most important industrial metal. The disorganization following the war has been replaced by the most stable and constructive conditions in the industry; and it is now the opportunity of British Columbia to take full advantage of the situation. Copper Deposits of Interior of B.C. * The copper occurrences in the interior should not be neglected. It must be remembered that for twenty-five years the Boundary district was the largest producer of copper in. Canada. Over an area of 1600 square,miles there are copper prospects of merit. It is true they are low grade, but,they are gene- fally'self-fiuxing and favorable for economic smelting. .Thev_., have been worked at-the lowest cdSV ih"-the history of-the industry, and it.is remarkable that so' little serious attention" should have been given to them outside the deposits .worked by the Granby and B. C. Copper companies. Canada has just as good engineering and metallurgical service at its' disposals as the United States. Indeed, this country would seem to have the advantage in this respect if we judge from the number of Canadians employed by American min- ing-and-metallurgical^companies-in-the most responsible positions. _ Here is the grade of copper ore successfully mined and treated by several American copper companies: Copper Queen 1.4 % Miami 0.85% Inspiration ........ 1.14% Walker Kline, Anaconda, copper ".... .1.49% Utah Copper - .97% There appears to be a'large tonnage of ore of similar, grades in the copper deposits of the Boundary, so that there still appears to be every prospect of the revival of the copper industry in that part of the province. It.is remarkable that it should'have remained for a new organization, Pacific Tidewaters Mines of Victoria, to lead the way in the reinvestigation of these deposits with a view to renewal of mining operations, Although a new company, it must be remembered that it is associated with and financially supported by ��� the British Metal Corporation of Great Britain.oa company launched during the war, with the financial support of the British Government1 to stimulate the metal mining industries of the British Empire. 'So"successful have been the operations of this company that it controls the metal production of Australia and India, the copper production of Quebec, is active in Nova Scotia, Ontario and Manitoba, and through its subsidiaries, Pacific Tidewater Mines and Ladysmith-Tidewater Smelters, promises to become one of the largest factors in the future mining development, smelting and metal refining industries of British Columbia. The aim of, this company is'to produce in this province the products' of the mines' to their highest-marketable condition,^a work in which it .will prove a large-employer of labor in a - service which is now largely performed in the United States to the advantage of that-' country at the expense of this. Pacific Tidewater Mines -is already successfully leading the way In the development of the Tyee, Blue Grouse and Tidewater Copper Mines on Vancouver Island, as a result of which it will probably soon have an output of about 1500 tons of ore per day from its own mines with which to reopen the Ladysmith smelter. " ��� This ore will, of course have to be milled to provide an enriched con- Icentrate for the smelting furnaces. A I mill will, have to be erected at Lady- (Contributed) It is a true saying, proven by experience and accepted by all, that "Nothing, succeeds like Success." Submitting to this acid test the Bazaar, held Saturday the 20th in the Guess Block, under the auspices of the Greenwood District Subdivision of the Catholic Women's League of Canada, and in aid of Sacred Heart Church,, we find that the .total cash receipts amply "justify the conclusion that said Bazaar was an unqualified success. The causes which combined to pro- 'duce the gratifying result above indicated were many and varied; but it seems fitting here to refer, briefly at least, to the chief and most conspicuous among them. In the.first place Divine Providence favored .us with a day" of cloudless beauty with neither wind nor frost to cause discomfort or render a journey in the open anything but delightful. . Again,' this wonderful" kindness bf a host of friends from outside points swelled the list of contributions, so that the.various booths were exceptionally well supplied with a great variety of appropriate and.useful articles, which caught the eye and tempted beyond resistance the purchasing instincts of the many people gathered together from far and near. And speaking of kindness we must not omit to voice our appreciation of the edifying, example given by. the people, of Greenwood itself and the districts adjoining.' In this regard also we are especially indebted to the Catholic Women's League of Grand Forks whose beautiful Tea Tray netted the goodly sum of $14.35. - Therefore, to God who blessed our humble efforts of all our - friends- Catholic and Non-Catholic alike���who approved and supported them, Father Mclntyre and the members of Sacred Heart Mission offer our sincerest thanks and promise that when the opportunity present itself we mean to prove the sincerest of our gratitude in a manner more tangibile than words.

Lee and Lewis Bryant spent a few days in the West Copper camp this week. A party of Consolidated Mining, & Smelting Company's mining engineers examined some" property in the Jewel camp this' week. J. B.'Woodworth M. E., of Vancouver, was in town during the week-end and examined some mining property at Phoenix and Jewel Lake. N. E. Nelson, of Copper Mountain, .was. examining mining property in Phoenix and-Deadwood last week. Mr!.Nelson went from here-to Republic where he examined a number of copper claims south of that city. smith" for the treatment of the complex copper-zinc ore of the. Tyee mine, and this will no doubt * be built and equipped' to meet the custom needs of the smaller coast mines which'can not install their own milling plants.' This is bound to lead to the reopening of a number of copper properties now idle along the coast. The outlook for the copper industry in British Columbia is therefore bright, and there appears no good reason why copper should not continue to be for many years the most important metal product in this province.���E. A. Haggen in Vancouver Province. When Edward Riley Martin passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jas. Lindsay, Rock Creek on Monday morning, the Rock Creek district lost a highly respected pioneer citizen. Mr. Martin had not been well for some time. The deceased was born in England on September 14th, 86 years ago. He came to Canada when he was 14 years old and settled in Kingston, Ont.,' where he a few years later opened a furniture business. He was the proprietor of this business for some years, finally closing it when he entered the grocery business in Napanee, Ont. In 1897 he came to Rock Creek and farmed there until about four years ago when his wife died since when he has been living with his daughter. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Jas. Lindsay at Rock Creek and one son Harry Martin at Sioux Falls, Dakota. Mr. Martin was "a gentleman of splendid character and one "who will be missed greatly. To the bereaved ones the deepest sympathy is extended. MrzM&r1'.^. was an active member of the Rock - Creek Farmers Institute for many years and the following rep-' resented-the Institute at the funeral: ' Messrs. A. D. McLennan, W. Hatton, S. Cross, M.

Burial took place in the Rock- Creek Cemetry.., , -^ ED. MADGE'S BARN BURNS. Ed. Madge suffered a loss when his large log barn was destroyed by fire on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 21st at 4:30 o'clock, onjhe ranch he purchased last spring on * Rock Mountain! near Rock Creek. Mr. Madge and family were returning home when they noticed the fire which had, got a fair start. They set to work arid were joined"by.Rev. Andrew Walker who was en route to Greenwood ,fronv. holding service _. at, Johnson Creek. 'Morris Jewell""and" other neighbors were attracted to* the scene and by the valiant efforts of all the fire fighters, the residence,-rabbit house, chicken house, straw stack, stable and hay shed were saved. Mr Madge lost 2 tons of sacked "oats,. a mower, one pig and a quantity of hay. The origin of the fire is unknown. "BEAVERDELL-BKlEFS" Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Walters of Greenwood were visitors to camp over the week-end. Mi*, and Mrs. Ben Brown left - for Vancouver on Wednesday morning where they expect to make their home. Much credit is due Mrs. T. W. Clarke, Mrs. Mattson and Mrs. C. E. Nordman for the successful hospital dance put on here last Saturday night. While the crowd was not large, they were full of pep and everyone seemed to be having, a "whale" of a time. There were a lot' of local people not present but a great many of them signified their good intentions by buying a ticket, thus showing that they appreciate the value of a local hospital. The trustees kindly donated the school and the ladies were very generous with their donations towards the supper, all of wliich helped to make the expenses for the evening very small. A cheque for $65.00 has been forwarded to the secretary of the Hospital Board. Miss Ruth Axam and Miss Edith Knight' of the staff of the Greenwood ��� Superior. School returned on Sunday from attending a very successful School Teachers Convention in Trail on Friday and Saturday. It was' attended by "aboufc 175 teachers from all over the Boundary and Kootenay districts and they "received a most cordial welcome from Trail and Tadanac authorities. Mayor Herbert Clark, in extending- the f city's official welcome, could hardly get away from the* subject of "youth, beauty and intelligence!' and declared that Trail, Tadanac, being associated in the welcome too, ."welcomed them with open arms." In seeing the big smelting plant in the afternoon, he said, .the teachers would note.that there were employed there from 2600 to 3000 men; half of whom were single and ambitious; the other half, like himself, marpled,- but still ambitious. While - Trail had welcomed many'good organizations and groups this summer, he felt that'none equalled in importance the group that had the training of the citizens. of''tomorrow. He then presented the Chairman, H. J. Palmer of the.Trail-Tadanac School Board with a massive gilt key of the city and "the Session got down to business.

THE CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION For the past twenty-eight year's the Association, starting as an obscure acorn, has developed into the mighty oak, whose branches stretch from coast to coast Four years ago the burden of the western region called for greater support than the' parent trunk could adequately support and the sprout oak formed in British Columbia has now ���become a full grown tree. The growing national influence of the Association is signified by the national support that it is receiving, not only from the pulp and paper and the lumber. industries, but by equal support-of mercantile firms who are indirectly affected, also the regular increase in membership signifying the approval of the real owners of the forest land, the people. How has this achievement been brought about? a - . A ' Simply by steady pressing towards the goal of public understanding and appreciation of trie problems of forest conservation and by exploding the idea q| false security in our ."inexhaustible forest'-supplies" by quickening public apathy toward the arch enemy of forests���forest fires. : ';������ The'most effective method of creating .' a forest conscious public which the ' Association has fonnd is through the medium of motion pictures and through the Association magazine with the cooperation of the school teachers. Consequently, the Association has spent every effort to. improve these mediums. For example, the Association staff: in co-operation with the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau, Dominion Government "Motion Picture Bureau, the Ontario and Quebec Forestry Branch and the Forest Protective Association,, staffs have* for the past thre years been producing their, own feature motion pic tures to meet the local conservation needs. As one phase of public education is covered, and proved from the reports of the protectionists throughout the country, another phase is taken up. in this way, by tackling the most pressing needs first, the public, at first antagonistic through ignorance, is steadily being won over to form a group of responsible co-operators. So keen do the protectionists themselves feel in this matter; that they spare no effort to make ' the ��� Association educational efforts a success. It is now a-common statement', among the chief fire rangers that education is the rock foundation without which no forest guarding will stand. The ten thousand school teachers receiving our magazines, FOREST AND OUTDOORS, and LA FORET ET .LA FERME, are using them as a text book' on conservation matters. The Association has endeavored to present facts in readible form. The idea would appear sound, as we are in constant receipt of letters from school teachers that the: conservation lessons are the "most-popularin-the-school-programT Other facts relating to the 1927 educational-campaign -may be of interest as indicating the scope of the Association work at the present time, The total receipts in 1927 reached $131,950,00, an advance of $19,912.00 over tlie previous year. The Association's revenues have increased eleven fold in the past ten years. The membership now stands at 29,000,'a net gain of 1700 in 1927. - The ten motor truck campaigns carried out in the more remote districts by the use of automobiles with lecturers and motion picture and electrical equipment, travelled over 42,000 miles in five provinces. The Tree Planting Lecture Car travelled 4500 miles in the Prairie Provinces. The total audience on field work by staff and members for the season was 340,481. Sixteen hundred and four public meetings were held. , The British Columbia branch of the Association under Mr. Thos. H. Wilkinson conducted a vigorous lecture campaign resulting in the reaching of 211 communities with an attendance of over 50,000 people. The Financial Report,, too, was rather encouraging, amounting to $18,491,00. The Canadian Forestry Association also utilizes a vigorous newspaper publicity bureau, radio broadcasting, travelling lecture sets, a motion picture library,, and the development of cooperative activities with Service Clubs, Agricultural Societies, Manufacturers' Associations and other institutions of broad public influence. The 1928 officers and directors of the Canadian Forestry* Association are: Patron, His Excellency The. Governor General;: Honorary President, Rt.-Hon. ���W. L.

To just what proportions the air express wrice will he developed immediately Mr. McDon- nelTwould not commit himself, but "air transportation, must be seriously taken into account if one would keep abreast of the times" he said. At present regular air express service is maintained by the Canadian Pacific between Rimouski, Quebec, Montreal, iNew York, Ottawa and Toronto ii the eist and Winnipeg and Calgary in the west, and these routes are very much appreciated and patronised. The views of the president of the Canadian Pacific at a time when air events and features, are filling the columns of the dally press are not without interest. "Aviation as a factor in commercial transportation has arrived and henceforth must be - reckoned with on that basif." Mr. Beatty, recently stated. "We have watched its development with keen interest, and while it is not possible clearly to see just in what direction or how -far progress may 'foe effected In the near future, it ihas already taken its place as one of the major transport agencies. Whatever may happen in the distant future, it seems to me that at the present time there is little or no prospect of aviation assuming a seriously competitive -attitude towards present day modes of transport. It is crather as an auxiliary service to railroads and steamships that it Js likely to function ifor some time to come. The Canadian Pacific, he added, has already recognised this fact by the establishment in conjunction with the Government Mail service, of an air express service and^upon the success of this service will hang future developments as far as this Company is concerned. Tn this connection, as throujjhout its history, the Canadian Pacific is doing a pioneer work in Canada. We are closely watching the development of aviation in the belief that Canada with its widely scattered centres of population offers a particularly promis_*ig field for its employment." -Air transport is, of course, faster thaii., any other and although the dare deviltry of some reckless, stunting pilot resulting.in injury and loss of life has earned front page prominence on occasion, it is safer than automobile transport.

Well, your wish is, gratified. "Topsy and Eva" has been made into a stupendous, spectacular film with .Vivian! and Rosetta Duncan themselves playing their magnetic roles- of Eva, the cotton planter's beautiful daughter, and Topsy, fiction's most comical blackface heroine! You will smile, you will laugh, you will roar when you see them in-then- pranks amid all the thrilling affairs of old Tom and Legree and Aunt .Ophelia and St. Claire'and young Shelby and his sweetheart Marietta DeBrie. -* "Topsy and Eva," the "Abiesirish- rose of musical comedy;" is "Topsy and Eva,J bigger and more side-splitting than ever as. a motion picture.

Tree-trimming prevents trouble on 500 telephones Trouble was prevented on at least 500 telephones as the result of the trimming of ,3,000 trees by .telephone maintenance men in.Greater Vancouver this year. Trimming of trees which grow, near-telephone lines is essential to good telephone service because, if the branches became entangled with the wires, it would put the telephones served by those wires out of order. So that the trees may be saved as much as rtossible, only expert tree-trimmers are permitted to do the work. This is another of the many ways in which the ever-alert maintenance men .prevent trouble before it develops. B. C.
