Growth of Colorado College

The Colorado College Bulletin, which
has just made its appearance, con-
tains great deal OF material Of spe-
cial interest to young people who are
about to enter college. 1t presents in
clear, concise language, the many op-
portunitlcs which Colorado College can
Offer The little volume shows no trace
OF padding, but the aim OF the editors
seems to have been to cut down and
condense rather thnn to expand.
A comparison with last years cata-
lOgue shows decided growth nlong
many lines, most striking, perhaps, in
the English department. where the
number of electives has been almost
doubled. The return of Professor Par.
sons from years study in Europe
promises to make this work especially
strong. The whole number of courses
in English now offered Is seventeen.
The physics department has also been
changed and enlarged by its new head,
Professor Shedd. The courses outlin.
ell indicate greater emphasis on the
demonstration method In this science.
The aim Is to make physics not only
study for general culture, but
practical preparation for work in many
new branches OF electrical and me
chanlcal engineering.
New courses have also been added
In the other science departments. three
new electives are offered in economics,
and in Latin n new teachers course
is given.
Very valuable contributions have
been made to the art collection and
the museum OF Colorado College. The

Its greatest need is increased endow-

CHINESE CANARY BIRD.
Returning Soldiers From the Philippines

Returning Soldiers From the Philippines
Bring One Of Them Along.
A quartet Of young American soldiers
returning from service In the Philip
pines, battle.scarred and sunburned,
attracted considerable attention at the
Union Depot yesterday because OF the
attachment they showed for n little
canary bird which n of them was
taking along ~ u pet. The soldiers
were returning to their respective
homes In the Eastern States and oa
their journey from the Philippines had
touched at Hong Kong. There one of
them purchased three yellow n
sters. Two Of the birds died before
completing the watery journey. but
the third lived. For the bird and the
bamboo cage In which II travels It's
owner invested n fortune Of ten cents.
The bird was q sweet singer ana
filed the large waiting room at the
depot with It's melodies. A crowd
formed In the section Of the building
where the owner held the cage on his
lap and as much Interest was mani.
tested In the little singer as in the sol.
diers. When the bird wasn't singing
he was playing. Repeatedly he at.
tackled the paper carpet OF his cage
and plnycd with il as n pet dog plays
with n ball Of cord. The soldiers sep
arated here and the three who We're
forced TO leave the bird and his mas.
ter seemed genuinely envious Of the
man who was taking home the little
pet as y souvenir of the long journey.
