Hardly Bigger Than Mice.

Only the paleontologist could rec-
ognhe in these tiny, tree-dwellinp
creatures-represented only bv teeth
and 1aws-any relationship TO the
monkeys, apes and human BEINGS of
today. They were hardly larger than
mice.
1t Is not claimed that these prinoi-
'lVe creatures were in the direct an
oestral line Of the present-day pri-
mates. 1t is more likely that thew
represented offshoots Of a more gem
eralized and still unknown stock from
Vnlcn the modern creatures are de-
rived by way Of other offshoots.
One Of them, however. seems IN
combine various fundamental fea-
lures OF these pseudo o-monkeys-the
lemurs and tarsioids. The latter is
now represented by a single species
the specterlike East Indian tarsius
whose relationship TO human beings
mas oeen, at times the subject of con-
siderable speculation. It has been
contended that the primate branch
leading TO man budded off from the
main trunk at about the tarsioid
stage and that consequently this
strange, secretive creature is a closer
collateral relative to the genus homo
than any ether living animal. This
has been strenuously denied. however
ano the whole subject is highly specu-
iative
Resembles Mans Ancestor.
The tarsioids were prominent in
the succeeding Eocene period and
among them was probably TO have
oeen found the ancestral line of the
extant genus Now a single genus of
the Crazy Mountain animals. the
Palenochtha, stands out as of excep-
tional interest. Like the others. it
rs known only from its teeth. TT
seems says DR.. Simpson, Ito re-
semble the Eocene tarsioids more
than any other known mammals. The
specialization of the anterior lower
teeth is not exactly as in any later
tarsioid, but is within the apparent
potentialities OF the group. II is, in
cidentally, worthy of note that it has
not known character that would ex-
elude 1t from ancestry to tarsius itself
although, Of course, the absence of
intermediate stages makes this OBJ
servation unworthy of being advanced
except As an interesting and wholly
untested possibility"

G. W. u. WILL TEST
EDUCATIONAL PLAN
Liberalization in Undergraduate
Major Study and Masters
Work to Be ATTEMPTED,

Plans calculated to improve ad-
ministration of undergraduate major
study and masters work will be tried
experimentally In Columbian College
Of George Washington University
next Fall. The experiment will be
tried in one subject in each division
and department, it was learned yes
terday.
The new program contemplates
written examination in the ajor
field for bachelor Of arts or bachelor
Of science degree and extension Of
the masters curriculum to cover oral
and written examinations as well as a
thesis. 1t also calls for personally
prepared and scheduled major curric-
ula for each student. avoiding too
complete specialization by requiring
"a hours in the final half Of the
work to be devoted to subjects out
side the major fields
Wider. majors will be permitted by
the closer interaction between divi-
sions and departments. Student ef-
fort will be greatly expanded in the
final year OF work through a pro-
seminar system permitting attend
ance at any university class.
A comparable level of standards
will be maintained in each depart
ment through a Columbian College
Committee on Studies composed Of
representatives of the educational
committees of each division, which
will coordinate majors.
The objective of the major" said
Dean Henry Grattan Doyle OF Co.
lumbian College, lis to give the stu
dent at the time of his graduation
the skill and knowledge OF a field of
learing, enlarged and strengthened
by studies in related subjects, 50
that he may, with conviction and
understanding, meet the activities
and interests Of modern life"
