Phoenix For First Place

ENTRANCE TEST EFFICIENT
Head of University Revision Com
mittee Says Students Taken On
Lower Mark Fail In Work
RECORD OF FIFTY-TWO PUPILS

Students who are not able to meet
the entrance requirements at the
University of Minnesota but who are
admitted do not make good in their
studies, according to the George N.
Bauer, chairman of the committee
on education of the university SEN
ate. The committee has had in
charge the matter of revising the
entrance requirements so that they
will be satisfactory to the high
school principals and county super
intendents.
Professor Bauer said the records
Of SO students admitted to the vari-
GUS colleges in 1912 who did not
come up to the requirements for en-
trance were studied. The results
show, he said, that if these students
did the same grade of work during
their course that they did the first
year only two of them would be
graduated. Al the others would fall
below grade.
"The quality requirement for ad-
mission to the university is upheld
by the superintendent and princi-
pals Of high schools by vote of two
to one,' said Professor Bauer. "tThey
are not in favor of direct admission
either on a diploma or on a diploma
and a special recommendation in
each case. The fundamental work O.:
the high school is more important
than preparing minority of the
students for entrance to the univer-
sity. This larger function can be
performed by maintaing the quality
requirement"

College Professors May Go On Strike

can Political Science Association ap-
pointed a committee to find out if

curity Of tenure for teachers of poll
teal science are being maintained by
American colleges and universities.
The committee, 1t is known, was ap-
pointed because Of recent instances
in which professors of economies
have been discharged because they
dared to utter teachings at variance
with the ideas of the rich benefac-
tors Of educational institutions.
1t seems to be the desire of the
authorities of certain American COL
leges and universities to keep their
economies departments harmless.
Consequently, after Professor Will
lard G. Fisher, Of Wesleyan Univers-
ity, wrote a workmen's compensa-
ton measure for the Connecticut
Legislature and lobbied for it, he was
expelled from the faculty after 21
years Of service. Other professors
have suffered dismissal for radical
views and activities. 1t is declared
that when the committee reports the
professors may form a union and re-
fuse to fill places of men discharged

Seventeen Licenses
Seventeen thousand dollars have
been paid into the city treasury

that the $1,000 fee went into eff

saloon owners must either take out
$1,000 licenses during the next four
months or close up shop. Two Of
these were granted licenses at the
last meeting Of the council. It is
not known how many Of the remain
ing ten will request new permits.
Three saloons have closed up rather
than pay the increased fee.
