/
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 5-(Speclal.)-Ne-
braska's young men and women are be-
coming better students. The report OF
Prof. Chatburn, chairman Of the de-
Hnqueney committee at the University oil
Nebraska, which was handed to Chan
cellor Avery yesterday. shows a remark
able decrease In the number OF failures Tor
the first quarter Of the prseent school year
According to Prof. Chstburn's f!gures
there has been a total falling off OF over
20 per cent IN the number OF delinquent
students for the mid-semester OF TINS year
as compared with the second half OF the
final semester Of last year.
A new system OF checking the failures.
which was adopted this fall, Is credited
with bringing about the Immense decrease
in the delinquency list. The new scheme
makes It Impossible for students to fail
to attend classes without giving valid ex-
cuses and does not permit anyone to get
ehlnd In his work. A few successive alb
senoes from any class Is reported TO the
delinquent committee and the offending
student is called before the delinquent com
mlttee. BY the new plan Prof. c. c. Eng
berg Is the managing member OF tne com
mittee and he has direct charge Of all de-
linquents.
Comparison of Statistics.
The report OF Chairman ChRtbuTn for
the first quarter Of this year follows:
The question as-to the success of the
new system OF dealing with delinquents
can best be answered by a comparison of
statistics computed from the mid-semester
