YOAKU4; INVESTIGATES
Deficiency of Teachers' Ability
Claimed to be Cause for
Scholastic Failures.
Deficiencies in the knowledge and
ability of instructors are chiefly re-
sponsible for student scholastic d A-
ficulties, claim first-year men and
women who have replied to a que-
tionnaire issued by the Student
Christian association to all fresh-
men who tutored during their first
semester's residence in the Univer-
sity.
The results of the questionnaire
that have been compiled by the
association freshman committee,
will be submitted to Dr. Clarence S.
Yoakum, vice president of the Uni-
versity and director of educational
investigations, for use in reforming
methods of instruction to Univer-
sity students.
Students Desired Review.
Asked why they tutored before
final examinations, 48 sper cent of
the freshmen replied that they de-
sired an orderly review to supple-
ment individual study, while only
o n e student revealed that he
thought it necessary to cram to pass
the examination. More than 17 per
cent, or 16 of the tutored confessed
that they believed that the tutor
would possess advanced informa-
tion on the questions to be used on
the examination, and five were of
an inquisitive enough nature to de-]
termine the value of class tutoring
after having found private tutoring
helpful.
Assignnients Too Long.
Scholastic difficulties were blamed
fiso t on :instructors' tendencies to
give too long assignments, as well
as on his inability, although 15 of
the replies admitted that inade-
quate preparation had been essen-
tial in effecting a general deficiency
in classroom work. Other causes of
scholastic failure that were cited
included uninteresting presenta-
tion of courses, inability to grasp
University teaching methods, and
poor studying conditions.
Comrparison of grades before and
after taking the final revealed that
90 per cent claimed benefits from
the tutoring, with only six students
failing to improve their grades.
Lack of systematic planning of a
day's work and recreation and fail-
ure to work out systematic methods
of study were acknowledged as
bases of inefficiency.
Communists Blame Indian Leader.
With Betrayal of Workers
for Nationalists.
BOMBAY, India, Mar. 17.-(IP)--
Mahatma Gandhi, accustomed to
adulation and worship, and com-
manding the respect, even of his

British antagonists, Monday night
heard jeers, hoots, hisses and cat-
calls from a labor audience which d
he was about to address.
Communists taunted him with
failure to provide for release of
labor agitators in his truce with
Lord Irwin which led to abandon-
ment of the civil disobedience cam-
paign, and charged him with be-
traying the workers.
"Down with Gandhi," they shout-
ed. "Down with the National con-
gress. Down with British imper-
ialism."
They tore down the Nationalist
flag on the platform where Gandhi
sat, amazed and bewildered, and re-
placed it with a flaming red ban-
ner. Nationalist volunteers fought
with the Communists for a few
minutes and replaced the red flag
with the Nationalist emblem.
Gandhi then pleaded that he had
done his best for the labor agita-
tors but that what he had been
able to do depended upon the ex-
tent to which they had been align-
ed with the movement for inde-
pendence.

The students spend the first
seven weeks of the semester on the
campus. During this time, they
arc tauht the theory of teaching
by 14 different professors. They
have the exclusive use of one class-
room which has been turned into
a genergl study room, library, and
laboratory so that the lecture sys-
tem of the University is replaced
by problem solving and discussion.
After this time the students are
sent out as apprentices to a high
school teacher and become at once
no longer students but practice
teachers.

practice teachers may teach regu-
larly for an hour or two a day and
observe classes for at least two
other periods. In addition to these
regular duties they enjoy a variety
of experiences in the way of facul-

student activities. These experi-
ences cannot possibly be provided
to the same extent for each stu-

Education school.
During the last four weeks of the
semester, the students will return

have collected, during their ex-
periences in the teaching field.

Cedric S. Wood, '26E, is the au-

grows and what makes it good.
So when Virginia students, and
the men who stroll down old South
Limestone Street in Lexington,
pack their pipes with Edgeworth,
their choice tells volumes about the
cool, slow-burning quality of this
favorite smoking tobacco.
It's the same story everywhere-
North, South, East and West. In
42 out of 54 leading colleges and
universities, college men prefer the
smooth, fragrant burley blend of
Edgeworth. Try Edgeworth your-

a pipe than you ever knew before.
