Educators Contradict Zona Gale Who Says "The Sys tem Is Wrong." A direct contradiction to the statement made a month ago by Zona Gale, well-known author, that "The whole examination system is wrong. It depends too much on luck and a certain kind of cleverness. It is just another addition to the useless drud gery which holds education back," the faculty of the University of Col orado went on record as believing that final examinations are indispen sible. ". A questionnaire was sent to every rsember of the faculty reading, "Do you belive in final examinations? Why?" In none of the replies was the slightest doubt shown but that final examinations are a necessary part of the present American system of edu cation; in fact, some advocated an extension of the use- of the exami nation.

Only by a final examination will the average student get such a blrdseye view' . "Because final examinations re quire an effort to do one's best, which is fairly prolonged, and which is yet not too prolonged. Periods of stress, when one had to exert every resource of intellect and every ounce of energy, occur in the lives of most persons; and examinations furnish good preparation for them." "Because the memory should be exercised and improved." "Because a fair examination is ttte best test of a student's knowledge of the subject," ' Some of the instructors were of the belief that it would be possible to extend the system of examina tions. One professor said, "Indeed I be lieve that the system of final exami nation could be extended so as to be come a real final examination, cov ering at the end of four years' work, all the work done during that time."
