A—-20 = FAILURES IN TEST LAIDTO STUDENTS Dr. Ballou Clears Wilson Teachers College and Ex- amination in Report. Neither Wilson Teachers College nor the type of examination given its graduating class last June is re- sponsible for the great number of failures among students in the kinder- garten-primary courses, according to Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, who has made a report of his investi- gation requested several months ago by the Board of Education. Dr. Ballou was asked to make the investigation when 11 out of 14 Wil- son graduates failed to pass the test for licenses to teach. At the same time, four out of five candidates from other schools also failed and the board asked if the examination itself was at fault. Finds Test Reasonable. “I have reached -the conclusion,” he reported to the board, “that the teachers’ examination conducted in June, 1935, for elementary school teachers was a fair and reasonable sampling of the professional equip- ment which the candidates possessed; that it measured the general cultural background, the educational theory and the understanding on the part of the candidates to solve teaching prob- lems that will confront them, and that the examination was properly within the general scope of the pro- gram of any accredited teacher-train- ing institution, including the Wilson Teachers’ College. “With regard to the graduates in the Kkindergarten-primary course of last | June, so many of whom failed in the examinations, I have also reached the conclusion: That the students of Wil- som Teachers College. who cntered that institution in 1931 were not a highly selected group, but were instead a cross-section of all levels of ability from among the senior high school graduates; * * * and that the un- usually poor showing of the kinder- garten-primary group is not incon- | sistent with the general scholarship | record of these students during their respective college courses.” Cites Selection of Students. Dr. Ballou also pointed out that when the class entered, the total num- ber of applicants did not exceed v.he( number of places open and that no effort was made to select only high | school graduates with outstanding | scholarship records. In fact, he said, some of the mem- bers of the class were permitted to finish their courses, although the faculty at the college felt that they could not successfully complete the prescribed work. The report was filed with the mem- | bers of the board, but action was| deferred until the several members | have an opportunity to study it in detail. Man Kills Tiger With Stick.

British Party Urges National Dividend Of $1,500 a Family Social Credit Faction Heartened by Win in Canada. LONDON (P).—Proposals for a “na=- tional dividend” of $1,500 & year for ily, over and above present wages and salaries. are contained in a manifesto issued by the Social Credit party of Great Britain, Several Social Credit candidates, it 15 announced, will participate as can- didates in the general election No- vember 14. Successs of the Social Credit ex- ponents in Canada has brought new enthusiasm to the British party, com- monly known as the Green Shirts. The stated hopes of the party are for a national credit office which would issue the national dividend to every citizen. Employed and unem- ployed alike would share in the plan. Prices would be controlled, it is stated, to prevent a rise in prices through in- creased purchasing power. “It is estimated,” declares the most recent manifesto, “that Great Britain is doing less than one-fifth of its pos- sible production. The national divi- dend could rapidly increase, there- Tfore, to at least $2,500 for a family of four—on condition that you were willing to help production by working hard when your work was needed.” | “The time has come,” the manifesto continues, “to replace the economics of Bedlam and to establish a sane economic system.” PHOENIX HOSIERY ASSURE YOU EXTRA MILEAGE 50c Other Phoeniz Hose, 35c to $1 XCLUSIVE and distinctive!
