MANY STUDENTS ARE
BEHIND IN STUDIES
Fifty Per Cent at the University Of
Utah Said to Have Dropped,
Back in Work.

Ii a student al the University OF Utah
be deficient In even one study he Is re-
ported as doing unsatisfactory work. and
this fact partly accounts for the report
that at the end OF November 90 per cent
OF all the students at the school and 10
per cent of those registered in the school
OF mines arc SO posted
This condition has created some con.
Germ among members Of the faculty ana
q process is now IN course of action
10 discover wherein the fault lies In
structors have inquired OF their students
how much time they spend in prepara ton
OF each OF their lessons. According TO
college ratings all over the United states,
il is held that in order TO get credit for
one hour OF work a student should oc-
cupy two hours In preparing for each
hour OF recitation.
The result OF the inquiry was the dis
coveI-y OF the fact that the average time
spent in preparation was less tnan one
hour, accounting for the large percentage
OF unsa tisfa ctory work.
II Is the expectation of the faculty
that large majority OF those now de-
lnquent VIII make UP this deficiency
before the end OF the present semester,
and that matters will be adjusted as
satisfactorily as heretofore. II was not
stat ted yesterday what nction would he

standing OF the students.
