University Notes.

During Friday and yesterday the reg
lstration at the university has been
only 256, against about 300 for the first
day of last year. This great falling OFF
is due largely TO the fact that the days
of registration have been changed from
the beginning of the week to the end.
Although class work is programmed TO
begin tomorrow IL is probable that part
of the day at least will be given over to
the registration eff students
At meeting of the board of regents
held Friday afternoon, it was decided
to enclose with a high board fence part
of the university field. that it may be
used Tor sports generally. and especial
| ~ for football practice and games dur
| ing the coming months. Bleachers Will
| also be erected so that the field will be
| complete. The work of fencing will be-
gin at once
At faculty meeting on Tuesday last
/ the president appointed a standing
committee on state fair, consisting OF
/ Professors r. r. Lyman, Byron Cum
mings and Milton Bennion.
Following the appointment of the
| committee on state fair, the Board of
regents has decided that the university
| ing October exhibit, and the committee
has been instructed TO begin active
preparations at once
| Professor Milton Bennion has been
dents. ~
Miss May. director of the kindergar-
ten work in the normal school, returned
to the city last Friday afternoon and
was actively. engaged in registering
students yesterday.
Miss Sally Sholes. K. 90. and Miss
Margaret, X. '01, two of Miss Mays
graduates, together conducted a kin
GerEarten school in Great Falls, Mont.
during the past summer months and
succeeded in making the work so in
teresting and attractive that they have
been induced to continue the school in
session during the winter. The school
board promises to make the kindergar-
ten work a part of the regular Sched-
ule for next year.
Miss May has received more applica-
tions for position for kindergarten
graduates than she can fill. and regards
this fact as a healthful indication of
the high grade Of work done in that de-
partment of the normal school.
| Professor NJ. NJ. Babcock returned from
the east on Friday last, after having
spent q very pleasant vacation visiting
friends in Chicago. Buffalo and Madison
and his mother and brother in Phila-
