FUNDS OF PUBLIC
WORKS ONLY FOR
NEEDED PROJECTS
INDICATIONS OF RECOVERY
IN INDUSTRY NOT TO.
CAUSE A SLOWING UP OF
ACTIVITY, SAYS SAWYER
UNITED States Daily

Expenditures out of the $S,30O.-
900, 900 public works fund will be
made only TO ressential construc-
ton. However, the present indi-
cations of industrial recovery will
not cause slowing up of con-
sideration of public works. On
the contrary, every effort is being
made to speed up the task of
selecting necessary projects,
These statements were made
July 6 by Col. Donald H. Sawyer.
temporary Administrator of Pub
lie Works. following q meeting of
the Special Board for Public
Works. Col. Sawyer announced
that the board had deferred final
action on the proposed 100000
900 federal public works program
submitted by various federal
agencies until conference it will
hold July IL.
Essential Projects
Consideration of only the most
essential public works projects has
been advocated by President
Roosevelt and Director of the
Budget Lewis D. Douglas. Director
Douglas has taken the stand that
only states with balanced budgets
shall be allowed to participate in
the ALLEGATION of federal funds.
This contention of the Director of
the Budget is in keeping with the
provision of he Industrial Recovery
Act authorizing the chief executive
to withhold funds from states
which have not satisfactorily ad-
justed their finances.
President Roosevelt is studying
3 long list of projects submitted by
the board. Mr.. Douglas, in a
statement following a conference
with the president, said that his
concern is for strict justification
of every project in the public
works program. which entails an
increase in the federal debt.
Fund Allotted 20 Date
Thus far only the $500 600. 900
for road building and the $685.
100000 for naval construction
have been alloca.ed out Of the
fund provided By the Recovery
. Act, No action has been taken by
the board on the $500 100000 Of

ADVOCATES NEW
GRADE SYSTEM
FOR COLLEGES
De Paw Professor Would
Require Efficiency Exami-
nations Yearly.

bH I tNttS SUfrtQt
GREENCASTLE, Ind. April i
A radical departure from the pres
ent system of grading college stu
dents has been worked out by Pro-
fessor Earl c. Bowman of the de-
partment of education at De Paw
university.
Professor Bowman advocates COM
plete abandonment of a system of
grades, thus getting away from the
highly competitive scramble for high
marks and the resultant slip-shod
work which it permits on the part
Of large portion of the students.
The new plan requires a student
to take comprehensive eXamina-
ton over the first years work in
the fields in which he expects to
major and minor. He must pass
this test with high degree of eff
flciency, Failure to pass the ex-
animation would force the student
to take additional courses or pre-
pare himself better by outside
coaching.
After the student qualities for
work IN his major and minor field
he would not be subjected to other
tests and examination until near
the end Of the course when he
would undergo another comprehen-
sive examination over the entire
field.
Should he fail to make the proper
proficiency level he would be per-
mltted to take other examinations
These tests would be conducted by
professors of other institutions and
essay questions would be graded by
at least three professors, the com.
posite Of the three grades being
used as guide to determine the
satisfactoriness of the work done.
Courses other than those IN the
major and minor could be taken to-
ward graduation, but rated only as
satisfactory or unsatisfactory I'm
der this system teacher might give
as many tests as he thought neces-
sary to assist him in teaching, the
student being left to mark his
own papers. the test being used to
give the student a better idea of
how he was assimilating the work
De PAW is attempting to find a
new system of grading students that
has none of the evils found in the
old system of hours and points Of
the new system of P-plus, a grade
denoting anything above passing.
Faculty committees have been at
work doing all kinds of research on
the subject. Professor Bowman's
plan is one on which he has been
working independently for num-
Der of years.

ASK CUTS IN
UTILITY RATES
Federation Votes to Urqe
Companies to Lower
Charges.

Voluntary rate reduction will be
asked of the light. water. gas and
telephone companies as result of
action taken by the Indianapolis
Federation of Community Civic
Clubs Friday night.
After lengthy debate, the fedora
ton voted to prepare petitions to be
submitted to the companies.
Strenuous objection to including
the Citizens Gas Company in the
list of companies to be asked to
reduce rates was presented by John
F White
He explained the cityS right to
acquire the gas company has been
upheld by the United States SUI
preme court, adding that to force
it to reduce rates would be "des-
troying part OF your own proper
ty."
Petitions to Be Submitted
Paul c. Wetter, former municipal
judge. said he believed the gas COM
pany is losing money.
However, I signed a petition for
reduction of telephone rates re-
Gently" Wetter said, and that
company also says it is losing money
so it is just as fair to reduce the
gas company's rates as those of
other utility companies
White asserted utility rate reduc-
ton cases should be instituted under
the new public service commission
so the public would have the adj
vantage given it under the new laws
passed by the legislature.
The petitions to be submitted to
untility companies will ask that
rates be reduced to conform to re-
auctions in cost of labor materials
and commodity prices.
Wetter Named President
Weter was elected president of

included Mrs. Robert Dennis, first
vice president; H G. LieSke, second

Royals sons are being educated is
mentioned, and it is possible that,
like Prince Jaime of Spain, he
eventually will become cadet IN

Prince Carols feeling for Bri-
tain, it is understood, has been
none too warm since he was asked
to leave the country a few years
ago, before he had regained the
Rumanian throne.
Princess Helen declared he was
so annoyed at British sympathy
for her and Michael that he
abruptly recalled the crown prince
to Bucharest last October, when
Michael was visiting his mother
here.
