A good French student was held back by his classmates who were either insufferably stupid, poorly prepared, or not at all in terested in the subject. Sixty Percent Flunked Out The average student, without wholly adequate preparation for the first-of the college French or Spanish courses found the work extremely difficult, and developed a distaste - for the language that grew as time went on, and his grasp of the subject became more and more feeble. Nearly sixty percent of the freshmen who were placed in French 3 under the old sys tem flunked either French 3 or French 4. This worked a hard- modern language. Under the present system, the placement tests show that fifty five nercent of the freshmen - who take these tests are not ade quately prepared for college courses in the language These students are placed in two non credit courses, French 1 and 2, and receive adequate prepara tion from instructors who know what to expect, and are not han dicapped by having an ill-as sorted class to teach. The others go into French 3, and as a rule find the work com mensurate with their training and ability. This speeds up the work of the department, and makes life easier for the fresh men, who develop inferiority complexes with regard to their training in French or their in telligence. : -Little Objection to System There does not seem to be any Extras The business staff of the Daily Tar Heel has on hand a number of copies of the elec tion extra published yester day containing "final tabula tions and storied on campus and class elections Wednes day.
