At the English grammar review of Tuesday, a number of very interesting facts were revealed. Students generally did very well on the questions that had to do with correct use of pronoun, and verbs. Many students failed to understand meaning of grammatical terms such as "construction of noun," "function and form" of sentence, etc. The girls seemed to get better grades than the boys. The students who have had three years of English and are not now taking it, received lower grades than any other group. The better grade of students seem to line-up in classes together. For instance, the best group reported to date is a large history and civics group, where the average of the entire class was above 70. Nine of this group made a grade above 90. A drawing made by Ben Jones of the mechanics arts department was forwarded to the Industrial Arts magazine today for publication. Announcement was made today by Major Paul W.
