Lars P. Sorenson, a farmer. by using
skeleton key, and taking watch,
fountain pen and fiashlight, was heard
In court Saturday morning. The
boys mother. Mrs. Martha Woodruff,
pleaded the court to give the boy a
chance to mend his ways. The judge
decided to give him one more chance,
and as he has such a good record in
his school work and is very bright,
rather than place him in the custody
of some farmer. where he might be
deprived Of some of his school ad-
vantages, the judge thought best to
place him under the care Of Superin-
tendent Snyder of the Lake Crystal
high school. Young Woodruff should
appreciate the lenieIcy of the court
in his case and make strong effort
to resist any tendencys he might
have to do wrong in the future and
to live up to the good advice given
him by the judge.

battle in that war is to stop increas-

day of resolution and prayer to the
end that the Washington conference
shall not adjourn until some vital
step is taken toward the disarmament

action against this crime of increas-

Nc More Readmissions After Unsatis-
factory ScllOlarship-Few Make
Coed ON Second Trial.

HANOVER. y. H., Oct. 26.-What is
reaching change in administrative policy
effected in any college in recent years
was made last night by the facultyv OF
Dartmouth college in voting. almost
unanimously, hereafter to refuse readmiS-
sion to Dartmouth to men who have mce
been dismissed because of unsatisfactory
scholarship. According to President t..
NJ Hopkins, of Dartmouth, the evidence
afforded by q study of college statistics
reveals that only one man in four who are
readmitted after failure ever eventually
graduates. and that the men readmitted
constitute a drag upon the work of the
college.
Examination of the academic records
kof 2I9 men who were readmitted to Dart
mouth after one failure during the period
I9iI-192O shows that 20 of the men were
dismissed Il second time on account of
puor scholarship. and that 80 others vol
UNFAIRLY left college for the same reason.
Only II of the men readmitted ever grad
uated and il is significant that not one of
these did so with a good scholastic rec
ord. 1t is further significant that a
number Of the II men who graduated
after rcadmissiOn were enabled to do so
only by reason of credits received for
war service. OF 81 men now enrolled
at Dartmouth who have previously failed
and been readmitted only five have a
Creditable scholastic standing, IA have
fair records, and the marks of the re-
naming 3S are poor.
