PROFESSOR SUGGESTS
ENTRANCE CHANGE

DR.. Joseph Schafer, Professor of
History at the University of Oregon,
in an address entitled, who Should
Go to College and Why" at the AS
sembly hour last Wednesday, vigor-
uusly denounced the present system of
matrculating students in vogue in
American Universities, and maintained
that college entrance requirements
should be based upon intelligence and
ability, proven by tests in conversation
and examinations, rather than upon
the presentation of high school diplo-
ma. DIR. Schafer maintains that it is
a prevalent fallacy that High School
education is a foundation for College
work. Intelligence and ability to profit
from the work offered by a college
should be the standard. Too many
High School students are pushed
through to college without adequate
competency, says DR.. Schafer. This
is the reason for so many failures
amongst college graduates. The GER
tiiicate system of entrance is not a fair
test; it is too easy for those who have
been carried along from grade to
grade. DR.. Schafer believes that a
system of Individual questioning would
be more just and profitable.

the capital today. following the an

In Algeria was ordered to hold itself in
readiness to go to Tunis.
Hasty repairs were also ordered on the

arsenal was notified to make immediate
deliveries Of ammunition to the war
ships.
The war department is the scene of
great activity this afternoon. The on

excitement.
1t was generally believed the orders
sent to the army in Algiers meant that
force might be necessary to effect the
release Of the French steamer Tavig-
nano, which was seized off Tunis last
night by Italian torpedo boats.

closely upon an announcement that

Ia FOLLETTENO
QUIT RACE, PLANS
B|GSP[AK|NG TRIP
Statement Made From Pro-
gressive Headquarters That
Fight Will Continue.

From La Toilette headquarters here
In emphatic denial has been put forth
that Senator La Toilette has any intAn-
ton of withdrawing from the campaign
for the Presidential nomination. To
disprove It, II 10 announced that In Feb
raary and March the Senator will make
a large number Of speeches, some In the
East and others In Middle Western
states. 1t IL declared he wilr stay in
the race to the last ballot at Chicago.
The following statement was made
from progressive headquarters:
Senator La Toilette will remain a
candidate for the Presidential nominal
ton until the last ballot is taken In the
Chicago convention. The committee in
charge OF his candidacy induced the
Senator to make the campaign which Is
now under way; La Toilette clubs have
bcen organised in the North, South.
East and West, and the La Toilette or
ganization throughout the country Is
growing In strength and numbers each
day.
I'm such circumstances Senator La
Toilette could not well abandon the
men who have been devoting their time
and energy to his candidacy. even II
he desired to do so, which he does not.
In addition to this, the La Toilette
managers see no good reason why the
Senator should withdraw from the race.
They alone took the field agoinst Pres
ident Taft several months ago. 1t was
through their efforts that the political
situation developed to a point which
forced some OF the Presidents friends
to admit that he cannot be renominat-
ed. These efforts were expended pri-
marily for the purpose OF having the
Republican national convention nomin-
ate a progressive Republican Who can
carry the country at the polls next No
vember.
countless Republican organizations
throughout the country have chosen
defeat Taft in the convention, and who
can lead them to victory next Novem-
her. 1t IL because of these facts and
these conditions that Senator La Fol-
lette will remain In the race until II
is over. His campaign will continue
from now until next June.
IAN evidence OF the determination OF
the La Toilette managers to continue
their work In the Senator's behalf is
seen in the arrangements being made
for the speeches he will deliver. On
February 5 there will be a big dollar
dinner Of New Jersey Republicans at
Jersey City, and the Senator will be
the chief speaker. At noon on the
same day he will deliver q speech be-
fore the New Jersey Editorial Associa-
ton at Trenton. During the latter part
of February and the early part OF
March the Senator will make an ex-
tensive speaking trip through Illinois,
Iowa, North and South Dakota, Ne
braska, Kansas, and Oklahoma"
