Students at ~" Reveal
More Ability; Better Work
Reports to President COffman
Give Statistics on Improvement
i'm Past Four YearS~-Happy
Over Performance.

The University of Minnesota has
better students than it had four years
ago, and they are doing better work.
This, in brief, is the gist of re-
port made to President Coffman as
result of three tests that have been
applied to members of the freshman
and sophomore classes.
College ability tests results indi-
Gated marked increase in ability
among students in 1927 as compared
with those of the three preceding
years, showing that 81 per cent of the
freshman and sophomore students did
as we'll or better, in the tests, than
had the average student of 1924.
This being true, President Coffman
sought to know whether students were
performing better in accordance with
their indicated greater. ability.
IF they were not" he said, some
thing would be wrong. 1t would
show either that students were not
working; that teaching was below
par, or that the marking system had
become inflexible."
Fortunately study of student ac-
complishment to match that of stu
dent ability, showed that Minnesota
students were doing better work. Sta
tistics gathered as to the number on
probation at the close of the fall
quarter showed a marked decrease,
and there was also found to have
been decrease in the number of stu
dents dropped at the end of the fall
quarter for failure to do satisfactory
work.
In the fall of 1924 the deans placed
ia per cent of all freshman and
sophomore men on probation, which
figure sank to 9.S per cent in 1925;
81 per cent in 1926, and S.S per cent
last fall Among the women students
81 per cent were placed on probation
in 1924; 81 per cent in 1925; 6.2 per
cent in 1926, and last fall ga per
cent, the best figure yet.
The number of women students
dropped at the end of the fall quarter
rose from "a per cent in 1924 to 3.S
per cent in 1925;sank back to "a per
cent in 1926 and last fall decreased
further to flat per cent.
Among the men an unchanged per-
centage of 5.5 per cent were dropped
at the end of the fall quarters in the
years 1924 and 1925. This fell to 81
per cent in 1926 and took big drop
to "A per- cent last fall.
1--WE are feeling happy, not only
over the improved ability of students
at the university, but over their i'm
proved performances" President Coff-
man said.

Albert A. Upgren of Sturgeon Lake,
was in town short time Wednesday
and among other things arranged to
get some ballots to be submitted to
the voters of his district on the ques-
tion of whether the people would be
in favor of or against a three-cent
gasoline tax, with the provision that
one third of such tax be expended
for graveling and maintenance, in
Guiding snow removal, of all county
rural mail routes and county state aid
roads. Mr.. Upgren was interested
to see how the people of few pre-
cincts would vote upon that matter.
Albert Johnson of Sandstone, was a
caller here a short time Wednesday.
While attending to some private legal
work, he took occasion to inquire
about sentiment for or against the
various presidential possibilities, and
we are informed, found that what
little sentiment there is thus far
chrystalized in favor of Lowden. A
straw vote in this precinct would
doubtless go two to one for him.

NEW PROJECT STARTED
in FARM ACCOUNTING

Groups of farmers in Steele, Wa
SEGA, Rice, Freeborn, Goodhue, and
Dodge counties have been organized
by county agents into Better Farm
ing Clubs for the purpose of keeping
farm accounts under the supervision
Of the farm management and agri-
cultural extension divisions of the
University of Minnesota acting in
cooperation with the United States
Department of agriculture.
r. C. Bevan a graduate of the
Minnesota College of Agriculture, has
been appointed field man of the new
project and will visit the different
farms once every three months to
give the co-operators any assistance
needed in keeping accounts and in
working out plans for better farming.
w. L. Cavert, farm management spe-
cialist of the University, and the
county agents will also advise as to
adjustments that are likely to lead
to increased farm income. George A.
Pond of the farm management group
at University Farm, will supervise
the work and close the books, giving
each farmer member of the clubs
financial statement at the end of the
year.
For 25 years the Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station has been keeping
and summarizing cost records on
groups of farms in various parts Of
the state. The Askov route, one Of
the latest, has been closed, and the
new project substituted. 1T is ex-
pected that the figures obtained in
the new project, taken with the de-
tailed cost figures secured in the
vicinity of Owatonna in 192024, will
permit of definite suggestions to
farmers of southeastern Minnesota as
&c ways in which they may increase
their profits" says Andrew Boss.

iment Station.

Indy FAILS TO
take A drink
AT ROADHOUSE
Colonel Sleeps Late After
EventfuI Night in Visit

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, April 10
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh slept late
today, recovering from the expert
ences of an eventful night which in
Guided a public appearance at the
An-America Aircraft Show and a
visit later to Blossom Heath fash
ionable roadhouse on the shores Of
st. Clair in Macomb County.
Arriving from st. Louis at 7 p. m,
Lindbergh and his ST. Louis asso-
ciates joined Edsel Ford and Maj
Thomas G. Lanphier at dinner.
Then they went to the aircraft
show, where the transatlantic
flight hero enthusiastically praised
the exhibits.
Edsel Ford Leaves Party
Edsel Ford left the party, but
some others joined it, and near
midnight the party appeared at
Blossom Heath. The nights hilarity
was at its height. The guests were
attired in evening clothes.
The abrupt entrance of the large
party of men suggested somehow
the entrance a month ago of an
other party of men who, it de-
veloped, were State police. They
precipitated a near panic when they
searched the patrons for liquor and
seized $4,000 worth of gambling
parapernalia, including a Klondike
table and three roulette wheels. The
place also was raided with similar
result early in 1927.
Indy Creates Panic, Too
But the kind Of panic created by
Lindbergh was different. Necks
craned and every one watched at
tentively to see if he would take a
drink. He did not, and neither did
he gamble. He enjoyed the music
of the novelty orchestra.
At an early hour today the party
left. Lindbergh and Lanphier went
to the officers quarters at Selfridge
Field. Lindbergh said his plans for
departure were indefinite.
