STANLEY FREDERICK STOCK o - mammova "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. 0 i 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.

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.
