examinations.
Educational tests are now an established f eature
of education in the primary grades. At Michigan
the much talked of probation tests have been amply
justified by their -results, even though these are not
all that might be desired. While they have been
found quite consistently to confirm instructors' diag-
noses of delinquent scholars, they carry conviction
otherwise wanting to an indignant or bewildered
probationer. Like many other good things, the test:
could be made much more useful if it were possi-
ble to accord troubled students more~ thorough in-
dividual inquiry and advice.
Such ideal service, however, can be achieved only
by enlargement of the' staff of examiners suffi-
ciently to 'extend individual consultations to all stu-
dents. The Deily would recommend that the ens
tire sophomore class, should be so "experted" .-
though without compulsion - in the course of
each college year. With appropriate entrance ex-
aminations to determine doubtful cases, incoming
freshmen can 'be steered sufficiently intortight paths
by a corps of senior advisors, as is now done. The
main need of the freshmen, beyond rudimentary
curricula suggestions, is simply to be exposed to
University standards and ideals -- plus certain Sig
nificant accessories for hardy specimens.
Eery student who escapes faculty probation,
however, at some time in his sophomore year should
hav'e the 'benefit of a. personal examination or test
for aptitude and ability, and prof essional advice- ir
planning his subsequent course of study. Both the
students and the reputation of the University - not,
to mention the outside business and pro fessional
world- would profit greatly in s'ubsequent years
through such scientific inquiry and counsel as an~
intergral part of higher education.
Signs. of the times: Joe Parker will soon open a
new cafe, where music for dancing will be furnished
by a four-piece orchestra in the evenings and a vic-
trola in the afternoons. -And the old-time table
tops, with' their ornate carvings, will no doubt look
down upon the- new era of things with a sense 'of
wonder and irreparable loss..
Darkness before the- dawn a dateless week-
end - the last lap - then Friday and vacation!1
May charity reign in pedagcdgical hearts and-spare
us the vacation assignment !
'Tis an ill wind that blows nobody, good. The
ice storm at least provided barriers' of lim~bs. to keep
us -off the campus lawns.

Vision
When Galahad :first saw the Holy Grail
He was considerably moved. with its signifi-
cance.
Just so the other day a' vision burst
Upon my iorbs, one so unusual,
That it left me amazed, awed, thunderstruck,
And at the same time thrilled
With a' renewed faith in modern youth.
It was a sight that once I saw
But had despaired of seeing any more. m
To expect my readers -to believe me
Is almost more than I can ask, and' yetr.
This incredulous revelation is a truth
Which if but one or two 'accept
I'll feel my duty done.-
The other day on walking throutgh Ain Ar-
bor
I actually saw, with my own eyes- both of
them,
(And without 'th'e aid of intoxicating stimu-
lants)-
A young' high school girl'
With her hair, genuine unblondined tresses,
Hanging braided. down her back.
-Chalk up a nice big one for mother !

A Novel Novelette-
The brewer stood' in his 'brewery. 'Trouble wasl
brewing. (Editor's 'Note.-"Trouble". was not his
son or- an- employe, but is an -abstract-noun the su-
perlative of which is "murder" or "expulsion from
school".) Anyhow, trouble was-'brewing.
But the brewer had a partner, the most even-temn-
pered manr in town -- always mad. This'partner
had only one hobby, and that was a specifl vat of
amber beer 'which he greatly admired.
On the day of our story he' was pottering around
' this favorite vat. He gazed at it for a. long time,
and then leaning over the' side of the vat, tried to
get a taste of the liquid. But alas, balance and cor-
Ipulency do not travel together, andf before he knew
it, the poor man tumbled headlong into his beer.
-The brewer who had long been vexed at his part-
ner's- peculiarities, was greatly amused by the oc-
currence, and after his partner had- managed to
climb out of the vat he said mercilessly, "It serves
you right.- You've had a terrible grouch on all aft-
'ernoon."
"That's a -slanderous' lie !" excclaimed the coypu-
lent' partner -as; he rinsed the -beer fromi~ his 'clothes.
"On the contrary, I've been utri the best of spirit:"
- Flnhis.
