Their Increased Popularity Exceed
ineIy Gratifying.
The secretary Of the state board Of
education reports that at the June and
September examinations for admission
to the state normal schools, not includ-
ing the normal art school, whose ex-
aminations are not yet concluded, 751
candidates presented themselves, of
whom 399 were admitted without condi-
tions and 279 with conditions making a
total of 6SS. The fact that many of the
candidates come from the smaller high
schools where it has THUS far been inn
possible to secure training in all of
the prescribed subjects doubtless ex-
plains in part the number of conditions.
OF the 113 not admitted As We're re-
jected. SiXty-seven of the 113 are can
didates who are dividing their exam
nations; they have taken their prelim-
inaries this year and will take their
finals next.
The normal schools were all placed
above the high schools and in line with
the colleges of four years ago. Wheth-
er this sharp raising Of the standard of
admission would deplete the normal

solicitude which the addition of four
new normal schools did not tend to re-
duce. The first year of the new stand

second year the number of admissions
was 7S0-a very remarkable increase;
the third year, 743, and the fourth, if the
normal art school admits no more than
year ago, $50. These numbers are
from 50 to- so per cent larger than the
numbers preceding the raising of the
standard of admission.
The number of normal school gradu-

Twice In three games in the District
Bowling League series the Columbia bow
lers defeated the Saengerbund five last
night The games were bowled at Simp-
sons, and were an interesting as well as
a finely played series Each side played
once above eight hundred, and all of the
team totals were good. Rodrick again DEM
onstrated his capacity for difficult as well
as easy plays, and more than sustained the
large average already standing to his cred
It. DR.. Kicker developed q streak of poor
work in the opening game that was as
surprising as it was unexpected. Repeat
edly he missed the easiest sort of spares
and made a score that was quite unusual
for him. McNish was away off in the en-
tire match, and played in very poor form.
Desio signalized his return to the game
after several weeks absence by playing q
strong game.
All of the Saengers maintained good
average, Jorss standing in the lead of his
team at the close of the contest. In view
of the more than extraordinary number of
splits that came in the way of Charles
Spiess, it is greatly to his credit that he
averaged SO we'll Many almost impossible
spares arose at intervals throughout the
play, but he turned most of them safely to
his account.
The visiting team rushed at the pins in
great fashion in the opening game and
practically won in the first half since they
led the Columbias lightweight pins at that
point. In the closing frames Columbia did
much better, making more pins than their

we'll in all the other games of the even
ing, the Columbus finish was strong. The
score follows:
