Soupault Compares French,
American School Systems
in the strange three-cornered conver
sation we were carrying on never
flagged, he became most enthusiastic
when Ernest Hemingway was men
tioned.
“Ernest Hemingway—l love Inm 1 ”
he exclaimed, breaking mto English
for the first time. “You understand,
1 like him very much indeed There
is no book quite like his “Farewell
to Arms."
“His “The Sun Also "Rises" is a
real picture of a \ery renl situntion
in Paris," the young author said.
“He has caught the mood of these
.ifter-thc-war people, and reveals
them impartially and justly. But,”
he warned, “You must remember that
lie’s showing a picture of a very
specialized group, which musn’t be
thought to represent the whole of
Pans."
Asked to compare French education
with what he had seen at Penn State,
he said:
“In France, we are idealistic, we
study for culture alone. In America,
learning is practical You learn how
to go through life in a specialized
field You learn to be a surveyor, or
a newspaper man, or a farmer. We
have nothing of that."
Imagine going through school and
college without any friends. In Amer
ica it would be impossible. Yet that
is exactly what Philippe Soupault
did
“I can point to no friendship that
I gained in school, in college, or at
the Sourbonne," he said. "There arc
no fraternities. Everything is indi
vidualistic We go to school *to
learn, we work terribly hard, and
we work none.”
An exponent of the younger gen
ciation in writing, M. Soupault has
become the leader of this group at
the age of thirty-five. His seven nov
els include “Histoirc d’un Blanc,”
and “Le Grande Homme." In addi
tion, he has published numerous
works in the field of poetry, in es
says, and critical reviews.
His treatment of American negroes
in Paris has been especially note
woithy Critics in France have com
bined in their praise of his works.
Bom near Paris in 1897, Philippe
Soupault fust planned to enter law.
He has been a student at the umver

GRADING SYSTEM
(Continued ftom first page)
Iguie mo is used to indicate this
fact
Thus, if a high school’s number
win c* I V)00, it would indicate that stu
dents graduating from the first fifth
then* had nn average ranking in the
tm.ith of ten divisions at Penn State;
that students in the second fifth were
I ranked in the last division, and that
I those* who weie in the third fifth were
lin the ninth division among students
‘of equal high school ranking. No
students had entered from that high
school in the last two fifths of their
class.
Maj Take Aw a> Certificates
The aim of the new' system was
pimmrily to check students’ work in
college according to the success they
had shown m the past, Mr Hoffman
c\) lamed. It would be useless to com
pile the ranking of first-fifth stu
jdents with those m the last fifth, he
said.
Aceoidmg to the present ratings,
Abmglon high school has the highest
lankmg, with 11110 Other high
schools whose graduates have mdi
! c ited that their former placements
j were accurate arc: Central high school
[of Philadelphia, 22200; Crafton high
[school, near Pittsbuigh, 23786; Leb-
. ron high school, 21200, McConnclls
liuig high school, 12100, and Milton
high school, 12340.
State College high school had a
tanking which was close to the aver-
age, with an index number of 54890.
Geoigc school, whose average was
j high among State preparatory schools,
[bad n ranking of 12173 Among the
iwotst rankings recorded were the fol
