The reading class, composed of students of all classifications including graduate students and faculty members, is divided
into two sections, which meet twice a week throughout the semester. The work is entirely voluntary and no University credit is given.
The course is offered this year for the first time during the fall semester. It usually is offered only during the spring semester, and spring classes will be held as usual, according to present plans.

Individual Difficulties Analyzed
Purpose of the course is to help persons correct reading faults. These faults include slow reading, missing important points in the material, and lacking power to distinguish or differentiate between types of reading material.
A study of each person enrolled is made and his present reading habits are analyzed. This is accomplished by obtaining information from the University entrance tests, and by giving additional reading, vocabulary, and punctuation tests. Photographs of the eye's reading movements are also made.
From these tests, the person's particular difficulty can be determined. The remainder of the course places emphasis on this difficulty and the improvement of the reader in regard to it.

"Are you in love with a man?" Brown asked.
"Yes, sir." Althea replied briskly.
"Can you marry him?" was the next question.

"Oh say," Ted added, "Before I forget, did you leave your skirt over here?" ...
Mary Kay gasped. "Well, it is here," Ted answered.
Mary Kay gasped. "Why no, I don't think so, why?"
"Well, it's here," Ted answered. It seems that the cleaner had made a slight mistake in deliveries.
Before hanging up, Mary Kay made the remark that she hoped Ted would keep the other boys from wearing the skirt.

(continued from page two) that by studying pharmacy, I'll be making up what I lacked in youth, in serving my country, Robson commented. He served with the 137th regiment of the 35th division in World War I and since has been an active Legionnaire.
The farmer-student says that he has been so occupied with school lessons and outside work that he hasn't had much time to get home-sick for the farm. A close friend of Robson's heard how diligently he has been studying, and remarked, "I'm afraid you won't have time to make the varsity football team this year." Robson replied, "the only thing I would have time for is eating at the training table."
Overlooking the many hardships that confront him and his family. Robson is confident that his mysterious urge is being met with a real challenge and he is looking forward to the day, in the near future, when he will have received his long-sought education.
