A womai There has much ndn thin veur rhane-A ortivitioa at t on There has much ado this year about the men and their activity point fystem. It has been revised, revamped, and enforced, and most of all discussed. Little ado !s made about wom en's activity pointing. Women's activities seem to run their usual course without much discussion as to how the women taking part in them are kept from carrying too many. Some often wonder who controls the women's system, If there is a method of control. There k a tytem. The answer is that there is a very definite women's point sys tem. It has been working at Ne braska since 1925, when it was started. Since then it has been run ning along smoothly with revisions made every two or three years. The university was one of the first ten schools to have a women's point system. It is sponsored by the AWS board. The board was invited to report on it before the 1927 AWS convention at the Uni versity of Oregon. The system was written up profusely there and complimented highly by the con yention. Distributes honors. The purpose of the point sys tem is to distribute the honors and duties of college life in order to promote efficiency in the activity and group consciousness in a larger number of university worn en. To these ends each recognized activity is given a place in the sys tern. In order to make it easier for the organizations concerned, candidates for offices or member ship must be checked as to activity eligibility with the permanent record kept by the AWS board. The AWS board, together with the dean of women, has final juris diction over all points of discus sion. Basis used. The following is the basis of classification used: 1. Any woman student may have the following activities, the scale being in terms of A. B, C, and D. a. A and B or b. A and B or ' c. B and C or d. C and C and C or e. A and C and C. 2.

'Interest in work is first teacher requirement' Scheme! "Interest in your work is the primary requisite of a teacher," declared Miss Lucille Schemel, teacher at Whittier Junior High school, in her talk yesterday in Ellen Smith on "Advantages and Disadvantages of the Teaching Profession; Preparations for the Varieties of Specialization." "A complete understanding of human nature is another essential, as are perseverance and good character. You must be an inspira tion to your students. A teacher must be a leader, and in order to succeed must have reasonably good scholarship throughout train ing," Miss Schemel declared. Beginning salaries. "The beginning salary of a teacher in Lincoln is around $900 a year. Nebraska as a state ranks very low in salaries paid to teach ers, but this is due, in the last few years to the severe drouth in Nebraska," she continued. Miss Schemel believes that all students unless they are mentally impaired should be able to enter the university. However, if they are not mentally fit they should not be allowed to spend the money of their parents or of the state. "Grades are silly." "All grades are silly,'' stated Miss Schemel. 'A fair grade has never been given and never will be due to the fact that there are so many factors which can influence grades. In the elemen tary schools they are abolishing the grade system and are sending out reports with only satisfactory or unsatisfactory ratings. If teachers had their way," Miss Schemel said, "grades would never be given out, but because the board of education requires it they are being given." Miss Schemel was recently re elected president of the Lincoln Teachers' association. She has had a great deal of experience, having taught in the grades and done demonstration work In the uni versity. Miss Schemel was the fourth speaker on the present series of vocational talks sponsored ty me office of the dean of women and the AWS board.
