"Folk-Say," which was first printed in lt)29. marks a departure from thut type of journalistic en deavor comuioaly known as legen dary folklore, in an introduction to his initial volume Botkin made plain his opinion as to what did and what did not constitute folk- lore, and when choosing a title for I ability and accomplishments as re his publication, possibly chose j vealed by recitations and examin-Folk-Say." in order to broaden ations. These four groups are the term folklore which, one gath- called the upper group, the middle ers, ne regards as limiting ana also ! as having become too strictly sci j rntiiic. By so doing, Mr. Botkin r.as oeen aoie to welcome to ma assemblage many pieces which would perhaps be rejected by the stricter and more academic folk lorist. First Edition Rare. The first volume of "Folk-Say" already has become a collector's item and is obtainable today only at a much higher price than the original cost at the time of its re lease. The 1930 edition Is even richer than the first in content, having such contributors as Mary Austin. Percy MacKaye. Carl Sandburg, Louise Pound. Barret H. Clark. Stanley Vestal, J. Frank Doric, Philip Stevens on and Charles Morrow Wilson. The opin ion of the critics in the consider able portion of the book devoted to Folk Backgrounds are as sharply divided and diverse as they are in teresting Lon Tinkle, reviewing the publi cation or a Dallas.

The work is gov erned in all tie groups to meet the mental requirements of the dif- ferent students. In this manner the best students are not held back by poor students and the poor students kre not made to drag along with the better ones. Holding the student strictly to the text book assignments is an other fault found in our education al system by Professor Deming. In the chemistry department this fault is eradicated by assigning students to do outside work in chemistry that has some connec tion with the course in which they "ir.LV.

No student knows when the next ex amination will come or whether he will be compelled to take it. This leaves to the student just how much work he will do and how rapidly he shall rise. Prof. Deming concludes his article with the statement that this is the state of affairs the world at large will of fer the student after graduation day. With each, then, according to his measure of ability and the in spiration that can be lent him, it Is full steam ahead.

Fredric March, noted film star, had nothing but highest praise for his college education. While at Wisconsin university, from which institution he gradu ated in 1920, March not only made an enviable athletic record, win ning his letter in football as var sity manager, also track, but was president of the senior class and a member of several honorary fra ternities. v "There la never any regret in my mind for having attended col loge." March said. "Not because it has done so much to promote i me in the film ranks certainly a minor consideration but because it gave me fouf unforgettable years, a period filled with a genial ity of. living that I shall find ex ceedingly difficulty to match."
