pecially during the first two years.
Perfect scores were made by 178,
of whom 61 were freshmen, 47
sophomores, 46 juniors, 27 seniors,
and 7 graduates. Between a score
of 90 and 99, were placed 762, among
whom sophomores ranked highest
with 230, and freshmen next with
222. Between 80 and 89 were 339;
between 70 and 79, 159; between 60
and 69, 98; and between 50 and 59,
37. Twenty-three made between 40
and 49, while only 9 were down be
tween 10 and 39,
The figures above show that well
over half the students made scores
over ninety, and only a small per
centage dropped below seventy.
In some cases the words were mis
spelled because they were arranged
in close proximity with others of a
similar sound but different spelling
as in the case of "supersede" and
"recede," and advantageous" and
"contagion."
The scores show that there is a
steady improvement in ability to
spell from the freshman year to the
senior. The greatest improvement is
in the first year, and the least in
the fourth.
Facts learned from the tests will
be applied to teaching methods in j
English in an effort to combat some
of the most frequent cases of bad I
spelling.
GEOLOGISTS FIND
BLEPHAHT FOSSIL
Professor Barbour and Phillip Orr
Spend Vacation Excavating
Animal's Head
Working under extremely adverse
conditions, Dr. Barbour, professor of
geology, and Phillip Orr, special stu
dent of paleontology, spent their va
cation digging up a fossil elephant's
head exposed in an irrigation ditch at
Lingle, Wyoming.
With daily snow, low temperatures
and working in constant danger of a
cave-in of the loose gravel compos
ing the soil, Dr. Barbour and Orr
finally succeeded in obtaining the
specimen which consists of skull,
teeth, and tusks. It weighs about a
thousand pounds.
This specimen, which is being sent
to the museum by freight, is consid
ered one of the most important of
recent discoveries in this part of the
country.
