University May Apply
New Graduation Test
Comprehensive Examination and
Numerical Ranking Of Students
is Recommended by the Senate
of the University.

Minneapolis, Jan. 25.-Two striking
innovations in methods of Judging and
marking student work at the Univers-
ity of Minnesota have been recon-
mended to the faculties of the differ
ent colleges by the University Senate
first, that comprehensive examina-
ton, covering things u college gradu-
ate should know, be established as a
requirement for graduation, and, sec
ond, that students in class, besides
receiving marks, be rated individu-
ally, from first to last in class stand
ing.
The word comprehensive" is not
defined in the Senate's action, but is
taken to mean an examination that
would show whether the student was
familiar with the facts brought to his
attention in studies, and able to en-
plOy those facts in systematic think
ing.
The system Of ranking the men,
bers of class would require the in
structor to judge whether a student
stood first, second, twenty-third, or
fiftieth in the class, besides giving
him the usual letter grade. 1t would
be closer approximation to a mean
ingful mark. At present all students
receiving A, B, C, or D are placed in
a uniform group. The new method
would show where each stood in his
respective group, whether c student
was nearly B man or approximately
a D.
The report was made at a recent
meeting of the Senate by Professor
Frederic Bass, chairman of the COM
mittee on education. Senate action
was to approve it as a recommended
tion to the faculties.
The Senate also recommended to
the graduate school that students in
advanced graduate work receive the
marks satisfactory, unsatisfactory"
or incomplete rather than the letter
grades hitherto given.

Mrs. BOOle Honor Guest at Fiftieth
Birthday Party.

The Mount Vernon IN. W Woman's
Christian Temperance Union cele-
brated it's fiftieth anniversary on DC.
tober 81. The next day, the Daily
| Argus of Mount Vernon carried these
paragraphs from the address of our
National president, Mrs. Ella A. Boole
who was the principal speaker at the
celebration.
Lest we forget, our organization
must have a birthday party once in
while. The National organization
had it's fiftieth birthday in 1924
There are not many branches of the
w. c. T. U. that can celebrate their
fiftieth anniversary as you can here
this evening, and you are almost as
old as the National organization.
-Four planks in the platform of the
w. c.. T. U. fifty years ago were:
O Transform the drunkard, (2)
Train the children in temperance
through the Sunday schools, 90
Educate the children in the public
schools to the evil results of alcoholic
liquors, and (4) Close all the saloons
in America.
"All the above aims have been &C
complished. In less than fifty years
the saloons of America have been
closed, and must stay closed.
"'Tremble, King Alcohol, for We
Shall Grow Up was the slogan of
the children twenty-five years ago.
During the World War (at the time,
as the vets say, prohibition was put
across) these children were found to
have grown up, and were ready to
bring the influence of their childhood
teachings to bear on the question of
prohibition. They did so, and national
prohibition was the result.
Nov we have a greater work than
ever before. We must keep the sta
tus of prohibition where we have it,
Other people may have lain down
on their work, but the w. C. T. U. has
kept right on doing the work we
started, but which is not yet finished.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-01-26

We are going to tackle the part which
is not finished and we shall do it.
Our campaign now is to secure
observance of the law. To be sure we
have our troubles here because so
many foreigners are bootleggers, and
because too many Americans buy
their liquor from these Bookkeeping
foreigners. If these bootleggers don't
like our laws and can't obey them, let
them go back from whence they came.
Don't be fooled with 275 per cent
alcoholic liquors. That is not what
the VETS want. This low per cent
would not satisfy them. We must
work to keep our government from
becoming seller of intoxicating
liquors as a substitute for prohibition.
1T is not impossible to get Christian
men and women to help America
stand back of her laws. We must
work for dry planks in party plat
forms, not necessarily for doubtful
friendly politicians who dare not take
a stand on the prohibition question.
One million members of the w. C. T.
U. can get anything they want. In
this city of Mount Vernon if 10000
women are interested in the cause of
prohibition you can enforce the law
with little difficulty. 1 ask every
woman to pledge herself to stand
back of the prohibition movement and
for the strict enforcement of the.
Eighteenth Amendment"

v. S. has for long time been enthu-
siastic about the new model Ford,
but now since having had a ride in
it and driving it himself for nearly
a hundred miles, he is just literally
boiling over with enthusiasm. He
says that it must be seen to be ap-
preciated. but you don't get the real
fever until you have driven it your
self. His efforts to get a car for
Askov are still in vain but it was
estimated that within two ~or three
weeks there would be one allotted to
this territory: they are being dis
tributed from the Twin City plant at
the rate of seven carloads a day. Mr..
Petersen further stated that the Min
neapolis police force would not per-
nit owners of New Fords to park
their cars on the main thoroughfares
as the crowds of spectators would
block the traffic.
