And, proceeding on his faith in that statement Jack Glessner, radio instructor at Fremont High School, has proceeded to devise a machine which he claims will do just that human emotions.

This ieat which may be of no small consequences, Glessner accomplished during the same period he was serving Uncle Sam's Army as a radio expert and acquiring a master's degree at the University of California.

"For too long a time, educators have relied on subjective-tpye measures as question and answer forms and personal interviews, to provide educational and vocational guidance for students." His "emotion machine," Glessner thinks, will be the objective answer to the problem.

He plans to have this second machine ready for testing by next summer. TWO PROGRAMS Two basic programs in which the machine can be utilized, guidance work and the investigation of teaching procedures, are visualized by Glessner. "The growing up emotionally is a matter of prime Importance to schools in graduating emotionally mature individuals, and I think that the machine will be of immeasurable aid in providing an objective means of determining this maturity. also could be used to test the effectiveness of teaching procedures and whether the procedures are the best suited for the particular dents under instruction."
