20 WINNETKA TALK September 11, 1926 Rigid Grouping for Freshmen at N. U. This Fall A rigid grouping of freshmen stu- dents at Northwestern university is to be attempted this year, according to official statements by faculty super- visors. This will be in line with the plan of President Walter Dill Scott to permit each and every student to make the most of his college opportunities. A system of grading students has been devised so that, starting with the suggestive figures-- 1-1-1-1--, a fresh- man will know whether he is in the first group in four branches or in a lower group. Examinations for all first year students in mental alertness, mathematics, English and one foreign language will furnish the material upon which the yearling grades will rest. "The more brilliant students will be grouped together, based on these tests and those who are somewhat lower in grade will also find their groups," ex- plained President Scott. "The slow | students will not be permitted to hold back the quicker, nor will the latter be allowed to embarrass the lower groups by running ahead of them in class. By proper grouping, students will find their correct places and will make headway accordingly." The program for freshmen week was announced last evening. In brief. it includes: The preliminary registration for freshmen entering the college of engineering, 8:30 o'clock Wednesday, September 15; the next item is a for- eign language test for all students en- tering liberal arts who are in the lower half of their high school class. This will start at 8:30 A.M. Thursday, September 16; that afternoon at 2 o'clock a psychogical test for all fresh- men entering liberal arts, speech and engineering schools will be given. Receptions and "refreshers," as wel- coming functions are now called at Northwestern, are scheduled for dif- ferent hours of that day. On Friday, September 17, a mathematics test for Ghey're better off "barefoot" | than they are with improperly fitted Shoes Children whe "Grow Up"' in Foster Shoes always have PERFECTLY Shaped Feet EVANSTON "CORRECT FITTING" of Children's Shoes is the first consideration in "Tfosters". It's a simple thing to makea shoe that will "WEAR"--a good looking shoe is just a matter of "STYLE" but "CORRECT FIT- TING" mears that both the designer of the shoe and the man who "fits" it must know what Children need.

COMPETITION IN WORDS One who goes into the market to buy a motor car today is naturally confused. He has read the words bestand greatest so often that they have ceased to be convincing. Where all is best, he reflects, there can be no best. Thousand-dollar cars have been described to him in ten-thousand dollar language. And vice versa. He finds himself the target in a war of adjec- tives; the helpless victim in a gigantic competi- tion of words. And so he is forced to rely on chance--the advice of friends--or his own limited experience. Dodge Brothers, Inc., have never participated in this verbal competition. They are content with the position they have long maintained in the far more vital competition of honest value. They have continued steadily to improve their product, not only in comfort and beauty, but basically--beneath the body and hood where fundamental values lie. Yet they have not unduly stressed each better- ment that has marked the steady progress of their motor car toward a higher perfection. And when economic conditions or greater sales have permitted them to reduce prices without reducing quality, they have announced the fact without excessive emphasis. Unexaggerated truth is not spectacular. But in the long run, implicit public confidence has been Dodge Brothers reward, and this they propose to preserve forever by continuing to build just a little better than they tell. WERSTED MOTOR CO.
