his section classification. As
changes became noticeable in his
work, he would be shifted to an
other section, depending on the
quality of work done.
Best Work Required
Students would be expected to do
their best work and to advance
their maximum capacity. Regardless
of high quality in their past work,
if a decrease is noticeable, a shift
to a lower section would result. Con
sequently, there would be a con
tinual stimulus for better work.
Considering the present stages of
progress of the plan, it would func
tion most efficiently in science or
literature courses, as laboratories
and libraries would be available
for the large amount of individual
work, on which the plan is based.
Primary work would be restricted
as to the choice of subjects and fif
teen hours would bo the maximum
limit allowed to be carried. “Hon
or credit” would be given addi
tional to students of special ability.
Another phase of education that
is emphasized by the plan is the
importance of social responsibility.
It endeavprs to illustrate that the
beet student is not the “book
worm” but the well-balanced stu
dent wlio realizes the value of a
social sense.
Service is Viewpoint
Thus, Dr. Seashore’s plan offers
a viewpoint of service, instead of a
selfish one, to the student. Also,
the scholastic divisions of classmen
would be discontinued.
No actual development of such
a plan is contemplated here at the
present time, as the committee was
organized merely to ascertain the
practicability of such an action.
While proven practical in a num
ber of universities, this plan of
mental ability is yet new, and sub
ject to improvements. Its present
use should be regarded in the sense
of a test rather than a final crit
erion.
“Howovor,” states Professor Tt.
H. Wheeler, committee chairman,
“it implies jyi eventual revolution
in scholastic rules of universities.”

NEW METHOD IS USED
IN HIGH SCHOOL TESTS
A new type of examinations to
replace the usual six-week period
written examination was tried out
in the modern history class at the
University high school this week.
Harold Benjamin, campus high
principal, is the instructor of this
class.
Instead of giving written exam
inations I* the class, Mr. Benjamin1
allowed each student to question
the members of the class In Ms
turn. The student, who was being I
questioned, had to defend his own j
statements and, in addition to that,
he had to tie able to answer
questions that lie asked to any '
members of the class.

ADT AND SCULPTURE
CHANCE NOTED IN EAST

since there seems to him a tendency
to centralize different interests, to
gether with the decentralizing of
\ population.
“There is a tremendous interest
| in the West,” Professor Fairbanks
' states, in referring to the prospects
of art development here. “Many
very prominent persons have told
me that the West is going to be the
center of America’s creative art.”
Besides his work in sculpture,
Professor Fairbanks is taking up
the study of painting. He is favor
ably impressed with the Yale en
vironment, and believes the spirit
j of work there to be sincere. Since
he has been given special quarters
in which to accomplish his work
he has relinquished the idea of es
tablishing a studio in New York
this year, at least for a while.
STUDENTS REMAINING HERE
WISH VACATION POSITIONS

As yet no one has signified inten
tions of employing substitutes dur
ing the holidays while the major

OBAK BRINGS SUIT
SUES THE EMERALD
The President of OBAK’S today
brought suit against the Emerald
for $50,000 and expenses, charging
it with slandering OBAK’S College.
The Emerald, he claims, used the
term “pool hall” in speaking of the
OBAK establishment. “I wish to
say here with great emphasis,” said
Obak Wallace, President of the
College, when interviewed this
morning, “that this is not a pool
hall, but a billiard academy. We
have a thoroughly organized insti
tution. Our billiard course is
famous as one of the best in the
nation and our snooker and rota
tion departments are models of per
fection.”
It is with a great deal of feeling
that the president is talking of
the case. “We have turned out a
goodly crop of trained men and we
feel that by calling our institution
a pool hall they are lowering its
esteem in the eyes of the people of
the state. Again, I say, it is
Obak’s Billiard Academy.”
