Dean Stockton Raises Standards to Meet New Demands
"Business is becoming an intelligent man's game more and more," is a statement made by Dean Frank T. Stockton of the School of Business. Consequently, this school has for a long time been aiming toward the gradual improvement of scholastic standards so that it may produce graduates capable of meeting the new situations presented by modern business.

The most recent step forward in requirements is a change in the rule of suspension for failure to pass the work. The old ruling provided that a student should be dropped when 40 per cent of his work became failing in quality. "Beginning with the fall term," Dean Stockton remarked, "35 per cent of work of failing grades will be sufficient to disqualify the student."
Instead of Dean Stockton himself handling reinstatements, the plan for the fall term will be to have a committee of three, consisting of Prof. H. T. Holtzclaw, Asst. Prof. J. H. Taggert and Dean Stockton, take care of this work.

Student Spends Fourth at Home
Authority Says Youngsters More Alive to Mental Requirements than Teachers
Children Have Alert Minds
New York, July-That children's queries show they are far more alive to their mental requirements than the educators who prepare courses of study for them is the belief of Prof. R.A. Baker of the College of the City of New York. Professor Baker is secretary of the division of chemical education of the American Chemical Society which is to meet at Buffalo at the end of August.
It is the children who are awake and the educators who are asleep, declared Professor Baker. "No child is too young to learn chemistry, for example, yet we have ruled that until a student reaches a certain year in high school he is not sufficiently advanced to undertake the study of this science.
"Children should be taught about the things that come into their daily life and experience. The earliest questions asked by the child deal with such things as "What makes the fire burn?" and "What is fresh air?" These are frequently answered inaccurately because it is believed that the child is too young to understand scientific processes.
"Some of the makers of games and
educational toys have developed various experimental sets to answer this need. Unfortunately, the misguided use of this material frequently leads to entirely incorrect conclusions and mistaken ideas . . The time is coming when educators will no longer be able to impose arbitrary age limits governing the study of science of any other subject."
Students who intend to enroll in the School of Law for the second term of the Summer Session should notice that the term opens Monday, July 13. Enrollment should be completed before that time if it is possible.
