dr mazie earle wagner re search associate in education here read a paper on how to make the fourth year of high school profitable to the superior student saturday may 8 before the association of consulting psychologists at its eighth annual meeting in albany she said in part superior seniors from the'buf falo and surrounding high schools are permitted to take college ex aminations in a number of fresh mau subjects as a result of this procedure these seniors rather than wasting part of their fourth year of high school by carrying a lighter load of class work than they are able to do and thereby getting into poor work habits ac tually work at a good pace and stack up college credit before en tering the university those studentß who participate are unanimous in their approval of the scheme and give a variety nf reasons why they approve of skipping part of their freshman college work among the reasons listed were 1 that many were able to complete college in three years and consequently were able to begin their professional training earlier saving time and money 2 several earn u double major ho that they are prepared to teach more than one subject in the high schools 3 all said they took more advanced interesting and stimulating classes which made their college attendance an enrich ed experience as compared with that of those superior students who enter regular classes with the average und poorer-than-average freshmen among the remaining reasons for earning college credit in ad vance was the stimulation result ing from passing college examina tions while in high school orien tation to college work afforded by taking these examinations and one student said that passing these ex aminations convinced her parents that she was uhle and should at tend college
