PROM THE CONFERENCE
From the students' point of view the
educational conference held last week
was both interesting and instructive.
ft offered an excellent opportunity
for us, who are entirely without experience, to learn of the various systems employed and methods used by
state educators, who have gained their
information through actual experience.
The round table talks, employed by
most of the departments, resulted in
informal discussion and self-expression
on the part of the visitors. Amusing
personal incidents added relish to the
occasion. In one department a livewire English class from Albany High
School, under the supervision of its
instructor, gave a concrete example of
a socialized recitation. A great many
of the visitors expressed their desire
to come again; we, from the student
angle, would add our desire that such
a conference be made an annual event
at State College.
DIGESTED INFO B M AT [ON
Dr. Eliot, look to your 5 foot classics. They are facing spirited competition at State College!
Students
whose extra room is too limited to
accommodate a 5 foot shelf, or whose
pocket books are too depleted by the
spring dances to purchase a small library, are finding it convenient to
spend their fifteen minutes a day at
some one of the bulletin hoards which
various departments have in charge.
Is it worth their while? Look and
sec for yourself. If you want a digest
of the week's news consult the History bulletin hoard; if you want a new
slant on who's who and what's what
go to the library and read the bulletin there, and, last but not least, don't
miss the sayings on the Y board or
the hints which the Home Economics
department throws out occasionally.
Free instruction is a rare thing but
digested information is rarer. Why
not snap up the chance while it's here?
THE AIM OF STATE
Why is this a state college? Why
should the state go to the expense of
maintaining this institution? We arc
apt to think that State College is for
the sole purpose of benefiting its students. This institution, to many of
us, is a place where we learn the
"trade" which will prepare us to go
out to earn a living; a college for our
intellectual advancement and personal
pleasure. To a certain extent this is
true. The State of New York has,
however, other reasons for supporting
its schools. The state wishes to develop the very best that is in each individual, for it realizes that the caliber
of the slate is determined by the force
and power of those who go to make
up its population... New York, as do
many of her sister governments, realizes the need of educated, right-thinking subjects, and, to the end that it
might secure there, it goes to the enormous expense of maintaining schools
ami colleges, such as the Stale College for Teachers, Well known is the
Importance of teachers who are capable and willing to give of their best
efforts for the education of younger
genera lions who are now growing up,
and will soon he the leaders in government of our cities and states. So we
see that college is not for us alone,
but through us, for the boys and girls
who will soon be men and women.
We must not think I hat college owes
us everything and that we are under
no obligations, We must realize the
true purpose of S. C. T. and do our
very best to fulfill the hopes and
worthy ambitions of our stale
an.I
college.
REVISION FOR REGENTS
A proposal to create a varying or
"floating" standard of marks in regents' examinations, whereby a certain
percentage of every class is passed
was made to the school principals and
superintendents who attended the
administration round table conference
here last Saturday,
Dr. Howard G, liurdge, principal of
the Stale Normal School at Fredonia,
who presented the plan, suggests that
a trial of il he made at the regents'
examinations next JanuaryThe flexible system proposed is to
operale, so that when an examination
is difficult, as many will pass as if it
were less difficult,
"The fixed passing mark should be
done away with"," Dr. liurdge said,
"because we all know il is humanly
impossible for any individual or group
of individuals to make examinations
which will he of uniform difficulty
year after year.
"In a foot race the prizes go to the
winners of first, second, and third
places. If the track he fast, the entire
field of contestants makes fast time;
if the track be slow, the entire field
makes slow time:, yet the prizes are
awarded in the same fashion and the
same percentage of contestants win
prizes on both the fast and the slow
track."
From this analogy Dr. Hurdge proposed a new scoring of test papers,
graded according to values placed
upon each question, When the scorings were complete, the next step
would be to pass the number of students receiving Ihe highest scores.
This would be determined in part by
a percentage of the number taking the
lest, and also by the scoring standard
for the test. The scoring 'Standards
would differ for each examination,
according as it was rated difficult or
easy.
Dr. Btirdgo holds that the plan
would eliminate injustices and would
not bring about a lower standard in
scholarship,
CAMPAIGN BITS
The Women's Committee of the
campaign held its first meeting on
Monday at the home of its chairman,
Mrs. Edmund N, Huyck, on State

need of the college, and John T. D.

AN INVITATION GLEANED

The first questions that will he asked
arc 'Who is sustaining these requests?'
and 'What influence is being brought m

INTELLIGENCE and high scholarI ship do not necessarily go together,
or at least that is the inference from the
experience of the freshmen class. Despite the high-grade intelligence of '28,
which was widely heralded last fall the
class has failed to show scholarship
approaching that of the other classes
now in college. The January honor roll
contained an exceptionally small percentage of freshmen names.
Possibly the freshmen have
too many outside activities.
Union College authorities are
taking pains to blast the popular
belief that working one's way
through college is an easy job.
They flunked out sixteen per
cent' of this year's freshman
class at mid-years, mostly for
poor grade work. Many of
these students could not give
study enough attention because
of financial difficulties.
