To Study Reactions of Pupils.
l-lere's,a Teacher Who $tarts a' Fight Among, His Pupils to
Study Their Reactions!
Following a premeditetell scuffle
amongstedenLs is one of his classes,
and checking the report of student
witnesses after the incident, the reliu-
bility
ot witness testimony; has again
been attacked by Dr, eticbard I3, Peyun
ter, professor at Long Island Univer-
sity. He has been making a series of
experiments in the application of phy
etiological technique to police admin.
istration and jurisprttideuce.
Professor Paynter fotmtl not only
that many different versious of the in-
cident
ncident enacted is his classroom were
reports$ by the 1.141 members of the
class,but that these stories were al-
tered and distorted when the class
was re-examined one week afterward.
The experiment was conducted with
the old of two students, Alfred Lucia
and Charles M. Rubin, who bad beau
coached to start a disturbance in the
room during an examination period.
A list of questions bearing on the dis-
turbance was submitted to the class
by Professor Paynter immediately af
-
ter, the iuoideta and one week later.
Between the first and the se0ondex-
anttnatione the students bad been in-
formed . that the episode liad been,
staged for an experiment in social
psychology.
"4n'overwbeltuing preponderance' ot
the class was•,completely in error' in
the way they inferred the motives of
the two principles in the disturbance,"
Professor Paynter said. eThis. is es-
peel:ell' remarkable since, some five
or six weeks before, the students,.in
preparing for a final examination, ltad
•to review a reading assignment which
pointed out similarly planned experi-
ments. To the extent that the studeuts
had 'prepared themselves, they were

Scourged by the whip of hunger, the

Kill Those Weeds s
Give Lawn eauty
While considering methods of eradi-
cating plantain and dandelion weeds
from a blue -grass lawn, E. P. Deatlfcle,
of the University of West. Virginia,
conceived the idea of using a fertilizer
instead of a toxic salt to plasmohize
the weeds. Each year he has practiced
this "spotting" procedure with excel-
lent results.
As' ,such sulphate of ammonia as
can be held between the fluor: and
thumb is planed on the crown- of the
weeds. The weeds so treated die
quickly and completely, not to sprout
again from the roots, A small por-
tion of the grass around the weed also
dies. But shortly, in a week or se,
the grass around the place where the
weed was located is tremendously uc-
celerated, so that the little bare spot
is covered with a thrifty growth of
new grass.
