Hense of The Herald of Wayne ; Dor-
grade. That the student may oy Huse of The Herald of Wayne;
voice to one of the most frequent
criticisms of examinations when she
declares that they depend too much
on "luck and a certain kind of clev
erness." No one will deny that there is
truth in this accusation Most ex
aminations are merely memory tests
in which the student who is able to
reproduce facts or opinions with
some accuracy is assured of a pass
ing
and probably will subsequently for
get the facts that he has successfully
reproduced is a foregone conclusion.
The examination becomes a hurdle
which the student trains himself to
leap over, regardless of the fact that
having once negotiated the leap he
probably could not do so again with
out a long period of preparation. It
is not an indication of the intelli
gence or the real knowledge of the
student; it is merely an indication of
the knowledge he has carefully
crammed into his brain for the mo
ment
At least a partial solution for this
defect is found in the inclusion In
the examination of questions which
aim at intelligent discussion rather
than at the reproduction of facts.
Such questions require that the
student have a foundation of facts
but at the same time they require
that he do more than merely repro
duce with phongraphic accuracy the
facts he has gleaned from his text
book. These questions are obvious
ly impossible in some lines of study,
In others, the humanities and the so
cial sciences, for example, they would
seem to be more than possibility. In
these studies they are almost de
manded if the examination is to be
effective

WILL AWARD SCHOLARSHIP
ENTHUSIASTIC ELECTORATE.
The polls at the class elections,
Tuesday, were suposed to close at 4
o'clock. As a matter of fact they
were actualy closed and locked by
a short time after three. The clos
ing was due to a mistake and was not
ordered by the Student Council.
The remarkable fact is that in the
two days that have passed since the
election no protest has been made
against this mistake. It is probable
that few students know that the polls
were closed. It is a final bit of
evidence to prove that for the ma
jority of the students these class
elections and the politics which they
represent have no actual significance.
WFAV POLITICAL SPEECHES
The action of the operator of the
University Radio station in cutting
off Leslie M. Shaw's speech on Lin
coln's birthday on the grounds that
it was a political speech and not an
address in commemoration of the
Civil war president, aroused a good
bit of comment
The operator probably felt that a
state university shot.Id not broad'
cast a partisan spcli especially
one not delivered in midst of a
political campaign when both sides
have an opportunity to present their
views. Whether this stand is to be
commended is an open question. In
any event the operator is to be cred
ited with a keen sense of delicacy.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
The Oxford debating trio won a pop
ular decision over a team composed
of two Stanford men and one Cali
fornia man on the subject of prohi
bition. The calmness of the British
speakers, throughout the argument
was sharply contrasted with the
tenseness of the Californians.
