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.”
