Beginning last fall pupils of the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades were sectioned into A, B, and C groups on the basis of intelligence, achievement, health, teachers', and social ratings. In each group there were accelerated grades, and only the second grades were given, but the children were graded on effort only.
"It was found." Miss Henkley said, "that in the accelerated groups some students did considerably better, some progressing four years in one, while some didn't do so well. Average groups did better work progressing faster and further, and slow groups did as well they had under the old grade system."

Henry Werner, men's student adviser, said today that more than 50 percent of the students in the University were doing some work to help pay, or pay their expenses. He said that he didn't know how people were simply doing their work while in school or in the summer time. He said that the working students had as good grades as the non-working students. They did not, however, participate in as many outside activities.
"The greatest disadvantage to the working student is shown in the first year," Mr. Werner said. I based my research on a study by men and graduates. I think that it is inadvisable for students in professional schools to do outside work. They must follow a rigorous schedule set by the school, and this does not allow for outside work," he commented, Paul B Lawson, associate dean of the College, said that he thought that the

America is the only country, Mr. Werner commented, where students work their way through colleges. Colleges in the West encourage working students.

A student can earn up to four years of school or even six years to complete his work for a degree. This would give him time for outside activities.
