"PREP" MEET WILL
HAVE NEW SSTEM
Millard Places Smaller Institutions in
Separate Class for Inter-
BRING MORE WVAKER SCHOOLS
To stimulate interest among the
smaller high schools of Michigan and
the nearby states in the annual inter-
scholastic meet, to be held May 21 and
22, Manager Frank G. Millard has de-
cided to adopt a new plan in the
awarding of prizes for the different
events.
According to the proposed plan,
there will be two classes of entries,
known as class A'and class B, respect-
ively. The first class will be open 'to
all preparatory schools which come
within the other rules governing the
meet, while the entries in the second
class will come only from schools hav-
ing an attendance of less than 200.
The new method of classification is
designed to encourage the smaller in-
stitutions, which have formerly direct-
ed their attention to the state meet
staged by the Michigan Agricultural
College, to participate in the larger
meet under the auspices of the univer-
sity.
The events in the class B competi-
tion have been chosen especially for
the smaller schools, and will consist
mainly of running races, in which the
athletes can become proficient without
the services of a paid coach.

Editor, The Michigan Daily:-
In all due humility, I desire to sug-
gest that Mr. Wenley in your issue of
March 2 hardly meets the objection
which I raised in my letter of Feb. 28,
concerning the grading system.
Last semester I received grades
which, thanks to the leniency of Amer-
ican standards, entitled me to a total
of 39 points. Now as a student desir-
ing to interpret those grades, I desire
to know whether they weregiven on a
basis of my mastery of the particular
ideas which made up the subject mat-
ter of the courses, or were reasoning
power, personality and ability, etc.,'
taken into consideration. If they were
considered, what weight was given
them,' and were they given the same
weight in each corse?
It is suggested that "quadrupling the
number of grades will not alter condi-
tions." Granting this, is it not an ad-
vantage to have these conditions ac-
curately and uniformly recorded?
However, we must not overlook the
fact that each one of the 16 possible
grades of the dual system is more
meaningful, than those which we have
at present.'
In devising a grading system it must
be kept in mind that American univer-
sities are the product of American
soil, and foreig1 ideals can not read-
ily be superimposed upon them. Our
grading system must look after the
greatest good of the greatest number.
The genius can be provided for out-
side of the marking system.
The system of grading which we
have at the University of Michigan is
doubtless as good or better than that
of any other university in the world,
but can any harm come from consid-
ering whether it is the best than can
be devised?

"Should Military Training for Stud-
ents be Introduced at Michigan?" has
been chosen as the topic for the next
meeting of the Forum, to be held at
the Union at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday.
The name of the presiding officer has
not yet been given out.
Due to the recent agitation on the
campus to introduce military drill at
Michigan, it is expected that a large
crowd will be present.
In case the discussion lags at any
meeting of the organization, a number
of minor topics have been selected. In
addition to those announced last week,
the following may be 'brought up:
"Is the Athletic Association Perform-
ing its Functigns Satisfactorily, and
With Due Regard for the Rights and
Convenience of Students?" and "Is
the Present System of Elections for
Class Officers Satisfactory?"
LECTURER TO TELL WHY DUTCH
HAVE MAINTAINED NEUTRALITY
Leonard C. Van Noppen, of Colum-
bia university, who comes to Ann Ar-
bor tomorrow, to deliver a series of
lectures on Dutch literature, is a firm
believer in the originality and the
"quintessential love of liberty" of the
Dutch people.
Mr. Van Noppen points out that it
is due to this creative ability on the
part of the Dutch that Holland has not
seen fit to join with Germany, in many
ways her natural ally.
Year Book Calls for Club Material
Work on the Michiganensian is pro-

--Charles Preketes, proprietor of the
Sugar Bowl, has presented the univer-
sity library with a Greek daily paper

On Friday, the club will give a dance
at the Packard academy.
MICHIGAN UNLIKELY TO SEND
REPRESENTATIVES TO COAST
Varsity Athletes Competing in Panama
Exposition Carnival Endanger
Standing
Michigan's track team stands
little show of being represented at the
athletic carnival to be held at the
Panama exposition in San Francisco
this summer, according to Director P.
G. Bartelme of the athletic association.
Although the athletic association au-
thorities have received communica-
tions from an eastern man who is pro-
moting the plan, requesting the entry
of a Michigan team, the board in con-
trol does not view the project with
favor.
It is thought that several of the
members of the track teamare intend-
ing to enter the contests at the expo-
sition as representatives from other
athletic organizations. In case they
do this, it is probable that their stand-
ing in university athletics will be im-
paired, and they will be prohibited
from further intercollegiate competi-
tion. By appealing to the athletic
board of control these men may be
given permission to compete, and in
this way save their standing. Accord-
ing to the athletic association authori-
ties, however, there is very little like-
lihood that the board will grant its
permission, as this is against the poli-
cy generally followed in the past.
