iPage FourENGLISH GRADESBEING LOWEREDFreshman Examinations ShowThat English Gets Lower StandardEach Year.STATE COLLEGE, PA.—Collegefreshmen know less and lessabout the "King's English" with•each successive year, according toa diagnosis made by TheodoreGates, head of the department ofEnglish composition at PennsylvaniaState College.Professor Gates bases his observationson a study of results obtainedfrom diagnostic tests giveneach entering freshman at PennState.The tests cover spelling, vocabulary^,punctuation, grammaticaluses and diction. Professor Gatessaid only about 25 per cent ofthe first-year students get 60 percent of the answers right, while 16per cent are denied admission tocollege English and are requiredto take a subfreshman course."The scores are considerablylower than they were four yearsago," he said.Much of the difficulty, he declared,results from increased highschool and college enrollment,with its lack of attention to individualinstruction.To help correct the situation,Mr. Gates suggested that highschool teachers concentrate on developingability of their pupils toread well and write clearly, thatsollege teachers pay more attentionto individual instruction andthat rekuirements for certifyingEnglish teachers be tightened.WELCOME TO THEn.£.xaton czrfotcL"Noted for Good Food"Ample Facilities for Banquets,Dances, and PrivatePartiesW.

"SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIF.—(ACP)—Discovered: One college"final exam" that pleases the students.Not because it's easy, either.In fact, it's so hard it waschosen to form the basis for oneof the contests at the CaliforniaState fair.It's the examination for thetractor skills course at CaliforniaPolytechnic College James F.Merson, agricultural mechanicsinstructor, originated the examination,which is more like adifficult game than a test.Merson's test is like a game ofgolf—using tractors for golf clubsand stakes instead of holes. Asin golf, the lowest score is thebest score. The object of,one ofthe four events is to drive a wheeltractor, pulling a spring toothharrow, up and down several rowsof stakes, cultivating as close aspossible to the stakes withoutknocking any of them down.Points are acquired by hittingstakes, fouling drawbar, or killingthe engine.Kyser ScholarshipAt Carolina GivenNorth Dakota Boy and CarolinaGirl Awarded Scholarshipsby Kay Kyser.Chapel Hill, N.

Everythingthat existed in those old days daysis touched with a roseate glamourthat makes them, seem ideal. Thuswhen the problem of supportingthe school arises, there are, inevery community, a substantialnumber of middle-aged people whoare quite ready to turn againstmodern school practices and whobring forth many arguments toshow that the ways of teaching intheir youth were much superiorto those of the present. Yet seriouslyto attempt to impose thekind of teaching that was done in1911 or 1041 were as futile as toattempt to abolish automobiles infavor of horses and buggies, tosilence .all radios, to abolish allchain stores, or to tear up all concretehighways."

There she hadthe good fortune to meet the Presidentof Litthuania, Antonas Sme"-tona, who had heard of the pluckyAmerican and who had broken allofficial engagements to come tohear her first performance. Afterwardshe received her, congratulatedher warmly. Soon theybecame such good friends that shereceived an invitation to the weddingof his daughter! It wasthrough the President's invitationthat the Lithuanian Governmentlater gave her sufficient financialassistance to go to Milan, Italy,for further study.She stayed in Italy two years,was well launched there in smallopera houses when news of hermother's illness brought the contraltoback to Hartford. Therefamily problems and the generaldepression combined to interruptthe natural course of her career.Anna Kaskas took it philosophicallyand wisely. She sang forfour years in the Catholic Cathedralof Hartford, gave singinglessongs while she herself went toEnrico Rosati, the well-knownteacher of Gigli, Lauri-Volip andRosa Tentoni, for further andconcentrated study. In 1936 herchance came. She entered theMetropolitan Opera Contest andwas awarded first place over allcontestants. Seven hundred voiceswere heard out of which fortyeightwere chosen for the contest.Nine reached the semi-finals andtwo were finally selected for appearancesin the Metropolitan'sSpring Season. In her capablehands were placed the roles ofMaddalena in "Rigoletto" andLola in "Cavalleria Rusticana" aswell as the title part in the longhearoldedrevival of Gluck's "Orpheusand Euridice." Her excellencein these parts brought herthe choicest plum of all—a contractto appear in leading roles inthe Metropolitan's regular winterseason, where she has remainedever since,u les-fQc etaoinIn the summer of 1938 MissKaskas sang with the CincinnatiSummer Opera Association, in theBeethoven Ninth Symphony withthe Boston Symphony under SergeKoussevitzky's direction at theBerkshire Festival. The eminentconductor thought so highly of thecotralto that he engaged her tosing during the regular season inBeethoven's Missa Solemnis withthe orchestra in Boston's SymphonyHall. Other outstandingorchestral engagements of thatyear were with the New YorkPhilmarmonic-Symphony at theSilvermine Festival in Connecticut,with the Toronto Symphonyat the Promenade Concerts, withthe Denver Symphony and theCleveland Orchestra—all this inaddition to her regular appearancesat the Metropolitan OperaHouse and over twenty recitalsfrom Ontario to Florida and asfar west as Colorado.Several summers ago AnnaKaskas had a chance to showwhat she could do in anotherfield of music—operetta. At theCentral City (Colo.) Opera Houseduring the annual Festival shesang the role of Dame Carruthersin Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Yeomenof the Guard" with such adelightful feeling for comedythat her performance was rated"tops" in a cast of stellar performers.In the season 1940-41 she waschosen for the leading contraltorole in the new version of WalterDamrosch's opera "Cyrano de Bergerac"when it was done by theNew York Philharmonic-Symphonyunder Demrosch's direction.In the same year, after an extraordinarysuccessful concert inBoston, she was made an honorarymember of the American Legion.Kaskas has had a chrysanthemumnamed after her by the ChrysanthemumSociety of America.It is a magnificent bronze colorlike her voice.When her native state of Connecticutjoined in the national observanceof the 150th anniversaryof the signing of the ConstitutionAnna Kaskas was asked, as oneof the State's most distinguisheddaughters, to sit on the benchwith the Governor and to open theprogram singing "America."
