Several of our students will teach

Examinations are over. 'Let him

from the city during the early part
of the week. ~
Tuesday mornings chapel was the
last of the term. The quartette rem
dered some splendid music.
The spring term opens Tuesday,
March 26. The first day will be en-
ployed in registration and assign
ment of lessons.
A debate has been arranged be-
tween the Preparatory departments
of Penn and GrinneIl, to be held here
at date to be agreed upon.
Students should enjoy vacation. 1t
is for rest. By using vacation legiti-
mately one may enter with increased
zeal upon next terms work.
The announcements of the summer
school are out. The courses of study
have been rearranged and better fa-
cilities than ever are offered for
work.
Mrs. Donor, who has been keeping
the College Clubhouse, will move
this vacation. Her new quarters will
not be quite so commodious but the
same service will be rendered.
Arrangements are being made for
a class in the theory and practice of
teaching this spring term. Other OPP
portunities in the shape of review
classes will be offered teachers.

VOTE INCREASES.
Growth of the City Indicated by
Increase in Vote Registered.

There has been a considerable in
crease in the population in the city
of Oskaloosa as indicated by the
registration for the municipal cleo
ton. There were three days of regis
tration and in these days there were
recorded 1872 new votes in the city.
or this number there were IS first
voters who have attained majority
since the last election and number
of the young men are from other
cities. This Increase has been made
in four and a half months and comes
largely from surrounding towns. A
small percent comes from the country
precincts about the city. There is
practically enough power in this new
vote to control the election.
The table below shows an analysis
of the registration figures. They will
furnish food for thought while our
readers are waiting for the returns
of the election.
The explanation of the abbreviation
used is N V for new voters. This in
cludes those who are voting for the
first time and voters who have come
to the city of Oskaloosa since the last
election. 70 w means from other
wards or voters who have come to
the ward since the last election and
the sum of the first two columns
makes the total registration for each
ward. t o w designates to other
wards and shows the loss from each
ward. Deducting this number from
the total registration shows the in
crease in each wards vote. First
vote is designated by 1st V. Inc.
means increase and T R is for total
registration
