Smith Test

That the younger girls in any class are usually the more intelligent, quick and accurate--

That mental development is most noticeable in Freshman year--

That speed and accuracy are usually found together--

That five faculty members tested ranked above the Seniors in accuracy, reasoning, information--

These are the conclusions reached by intelligence tests given at Smith College, Northampton, Mass., since 1919.

In North Carolina

Led by Governor Cameron Morrison, the North Carolina State Board of Education decreed that no form of evolution should be taught in any public school which made it appear that man was descended from any of the lower order of animals. Books so teaching were condemned and banned.

Governor Morrison: "I do not believe that man, God's highest creation, is descended from a monkey. I will not consent that any such doctrine, or any intimation of such a doctrine shall be taught in our public schools !"

Notes

Colgate University limited its enrollment to 1,000 men. "Intensive," said President George Barton Cutten. "Education in general does not know where it is going, but we know where we are going."

Courses in Real Estate, already put on by Columbia, Boston, California Universities, are contemplated by a dozen other institutions, including Michigan, Iowa State, Missouri, Northwestern.

From Amherst: last Summer's commotion has become an incident of the past. The faculty is full, the registration is full, there is no row.

John J. Tigert, U. S. Education Commissioner, will shortly send to Alaska a "floating school" to bring light into many inaccessible hamlets.

The charge that Harvard is "God-less," based on the fact that chapel is not compulsory and that few attend, was answered by the Rev. Edward C. Moore, Chairman of the Harvard Board of Preachers. Said he: "Compulsory chapel would be as distasteful to the officers of Harvard as to the students. ... At Yale the turmoil* during the service is terrible."

*An exaggeration, bordering on falsehood.
