Wood Conducts Survey of High
School Pupils Intending
to Enter Colleges.
USE OTIS EXAMINATION
Non-Collegiate Groups Proved
Considerably Inferior
in Mental Ability.
High school students of the state
who expect to attend the Univer-
sity have a higher average intelli-
genee than those in Michigan who
plan to attend other institutions of
higher learning, according to data
recently collected by Prof. Clifford
Woody, of the School of Education,
director of the bureau of educa-
tional reference and research.
The material for this survey was
obtained from the examination of
a number of high school students
in 19 cities in the state, by means
of thie Odis test of mental ability
and the Iowa high school content
examination.
Literary Students Excel.
Results further show that the
achievements of students who in-
tend to go to other colleges in
Michigan is above average and ap-
proximately equal to that of those
who intend to go to out-of-state
colleges. Students who planto go
to normal schools and thosetwho
are undecided as to their choice
of college showaaverage ability on
the tests. The non-collegiate group,
he found, show very inferior re-
sults.

Final plans for the annual meet-
ng of the Michigan Interscholastic
Press association in Ann Arbor on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday oft
his week will be discussed at a
luncheon today by members of Sig-
ma Delta Chi, honorary journalis-
ic fraternity in charge of the cpn-
ention. Members of the journal-
Lm faculty of the University will
also assemble for u:scussion of con-
ention plans.
ilnong the features of the 1930
onvention are numerous discus-
ion groups which will be led by
tudents a n d faculty members,
peeches by Dean Wilbur R. Hum-
>hreys, of the literary college, Rev.
Frederick Bohn Fisher, of the First
Mlethodist church, and Dr. Walter
Mausaur, and luncheon and ban-
4uet programs on Friday night and
Saturday noon at the Union.
Today's meeting will be held in
he Russian room of the LeagueE
building.
This," he said, "is the secret of
?cearis' success. The young French-
man, Decaris, is only 29 years old
and has already won the Prix de
Rome given by the Ecole des Beaux
Arts, has already illustrated numer-
ous books published in Europe with
his original etchings and is looked
upon as one of the foremost illus-
trators in Europe."
When describing his present
home in France, Chamberlain said,
not without a humorous glint in
his eye, "It's a good place to do
what you want, dress the way you
want, act the way you want,-and
drink what you want."
REPORT ON FOG DEATHS
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Dec. 8.-The myster-
ious "death fog" of the Meuse val-
ley of Belgium which last week
claimed more than three score hu-
man lives was not due to any com-
municable disease in the opinion of
the Belgium health authorities and
they so informed the British Min-
istry of Health today.
Paul Porter Would Take Leader
of Industries Responsible
for Workers' Welfare.
Envisioning a radically changed
political and economic order with a
supreme economic council dedicat-
ing to business and an additional
branch of Congress based on func-
tional representation of industry,
Paul Porter, secretary for the
League of Industrial Democracy,
discussed the subject, "Why I Am a
Socialist," yesterday at an All-
Campus forum in Alumni Memorial
hall.
Porter iAced out four points of
the present system wit which he
has a particular quarrel. The irre-
sponsibility of leaders of industry
he exemplified in the action of
Henry Ford, who a few years ago
laid off his entire force during a
change of models. The unjust dis-
tribution of work he illustrated by
citing many instances of wage
e.rners who were employed 11 and
12 hours a day while uthers were
not working at all.-
The tremendous waste and the
unequal distribution of wealth were
his other two points in this con-
nection. As p}oof that waste ex-
ists in modern industry, Porter re-
ferred to the statement that for
every barrel of oil taken out of the
ground there is another barrel
wasted.
Emphasizing the fact that the
socialist program is in no way rev-
olutionary or disturbingly upset-
ting, the speaker described the
gradual change which the socialist
party favors. The socialization of
farming, he said, would be a long
way in the future and such highly
individualistic professions as paint-
ing or writing would, he said, prob-
ably never come under the social-
(ized regeme.
