Miss Dean and Miss Hastings occupied a cabin not far from the school. They painted out of doors six hours a day, morning and afternoon both, and then spent the period of the day in jumping over the same cliff and cain bakes or journeying up the capstone. Miss Dean says that the small town on the tip of Cape Cod is quaint with its helter-skater houses painted white and set close together. Everywhere are antique shops surrounded by old-fashioned flowers. Here and there are fog stations, and every day the house comes in from Boston. This is quite the biggest event of the day.

EXAMS GIVEN IN CLASS
Last Year's Class For Those
Needing Further Instruction
Numbered Fifty
All students taking freshman rhetoric are being tested to find out whether their preparation is adequate to enable them to take the work required in freshman English. The purpose of these tests is to keep students in the field in the semester's work as they prepare for the necessary pre-program, according to Miss Sarah Laird, chairman of the Sub-Freshman Committee.
The tests are given at the regular class hours and will last over a period of five days. They include exercises on punctuation and general reading skills. Identified tests are used by the University of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota.
When students find that they are too poorly equipped to take the regular work they are given the opportunity to enter a special course. About fifty were enrolled in this course last year but it is expected that there will be fewer in the classes this year.
"The present tendency on the part of students in our colleges and universities to elect Latin and similar courses indicates the fact that students are realizing their insufficiency in their own language," Miss Laird said, this morning, "and, in spite of the fadist attempt to exclude grammar from courses of study, those who wish to know good English realize that nothing can take the place of practical grammar."
