FOUR ENTERING FRESHMEN GAIN EXEMPTION IN ENGLISH A TEST Re-enforcement of Grammar Foundation is Aim of Course Required of Students Who Fail in Quiz Having passed the examination held Saturday afternoon at Villard hall, four of the freshmen who en tered the University this spring will be exempt from English A. These students are William Baker, William S. Klein, Jane Hanvahan and Kenneth Patterson. The test consists of five sec tions: 1. Ten sentences to be punc tuated. 2. Ten rules of grammar and ten sentences in which these rules have been violated. The stu dent states, in each case, which rule has been violated. 3. Twenty sen tences containing words misused, the correct word to be written at the right. 4. A list of fifty words, a few of which are misspelled, for the student to correct. 5. A theme of from 300 to 500 words on any of a list of assigned subjects. This is the most important part of the test, indicating to the instructor how far the student’s knowledge of English functions in his' practice. Those who did not pass will be required to take English A for one term, or until they make a satis factory showing. Kenneth Shumaker, teaching fel low in English, is in charge of English A and brings up to stand ard the freshmen who fail in the entrance examination. He has re cently compiled data on the sub ject and found that, in the examin ation given at the beginning of the school year of 1924-25, 47 per cent, or 338 students, failed and 52 per cent, or 370 students, passed. Stu dents graduating from schools in the state of Oregon showed a bet ter average, 39 per cent failing and 43 per cent passing, in relation with the whole group. The average number of errors per paper in the entire group was 27.45. The examination is, of course, as fair as possible, but students are often under a nervous strain and consequently do not make as good a showing as they might if they were allowed to become better ad justed to conditions in the Uni versity before required to take the test. “Our idea in English A,” said Mr. Shumaker, “is to get behind set rules for grammar and punctua tion and to do this, we take up the reasons for the various uses of the English language.” “The best way to become famil iar with good English is to go to literature,” he continued. A read ing list is given and reading is done in connection with the course. “English is anything |but a ‘pipe,’ ” asserted Mr. Shumaker, “but it is certainly worth while to those who have a weak or unsteady foundation in English principles.” EXPERT ON VOCATIONS COMING NEXT WEEK Miss Florence Jackson to Talk to Campus Girls Miss Florence Jackson, one of the foremost experts in the country on vocational guidance, will visit '•the campus on Monday and Tues day of next week, April 13 and 14.
