Un doubtedly the system will be an aid to instructors in grading, for they will be able to tell what a student knows about the subject without having to wade through a mess of irrelevant facts. "The system has been used very successfully in Columbia university. As used there, each statement, marked correctly gives credit, each marked incorrectly counts as a penalty, the penalty being greater, than the credit for correctly mark ed statement. In this way the stu dent is discouraged from guessing Statements which the students omit are counted neither for nor against them, the final grade in the examina tion being determined by the number of correctly answered statements." This will be the first trial of such a system at Wisconsin and the re sult will be watched with interest not only by the department of eco nomies, but by the entire university. r TiTY-STYI f.-COUDTEsv fOUTHTTERS TO W1EN.
