A. Olsen, pro fessor, of public speaking, to History Department Head CAMPUS KEYBOARD THERE are a few professors in the University who grade their pupils on the basis of their ability to learn and their capa city to reproduce it rather than on the basis of how much they have memorized for the recita tion or the quiz, i These faculty members are, by common consensus, not only among the most popular but also the most effective teachers. Their philosophy evidently is that you're not teaching a stu dent how to develop or to ac tually acquire knowledge when you lecture along and then give a quiz and grade him on how much he crammed in the night before or how effective were his "spotting" efforts. The way to actually breed thinkers and thought is to judge the pupil as an individual, to grade him as he progresses or regresses, that he may have a definite idea as to his capacities. -Now, maybe the new curricu lum has no place for this sort of professor who is so bold as to buck the fact-flowing process of making walking dictionaries out of the "new students." The freshman advisers and the dean of students are , to take care of capacities and abilities and that sort of thing. Teachers must impress the gravity of the so cial scene on the children with out wandering off into the field of personnel study. At least, that's what the new curricula all over the country are saying, in effect, insofar as they have all provided for an entirely sepa rate personnel and individual at tention department: But, whether the new curricu lum fosters the professor of this type or not, the fact remains that its small group is doing the best job of teaching on the fac ulty. When students realize that their professors are sympathet icy interested in them, anxious to have them learn rather than to tag them with a numerical av erage based on how much the students have been able to re memberthen learning really is effected and it means something. The best teachers aren't your multi-keyed and multi-degreed pedagogues or your research wizards. They are your patient. interested, co-operative men whose ideas about teaching don't run in the channels where the only buoys are numerical nota tions which haven't much to do with the depth of the water.

Director Sam Selden said, 'The play is explosive material, and it must be handled care fully. several CALLS NEWSOME Leaves for Washington in Response to Relief Call Professor A. R.
