School Notes.

We have been informed that Whit
man college has offered a scholarship
for next year to the student who gradu-
ates with the highest honors. This
should be an incentive, not only for the
seniors, but for all who expect to enter
higher institutions of learning. Col
leges are looking for student who de-
sire an education and not for those who
attend school merely to have the So
called "good time"
Miss Velma Weaver, who has been
visiting friends at Roslyn, has returned
to school and says that she had very
pleasant time while there.
Nellie Chase of room TO- who has been
i'll for several days, is missed very much
by her schoolmates and they sincerely
hope that she may soon be able to re-
turn to school.
Prof Callins talked to the high
school regarding the work done in the

BASKET BALL.
A very interesting game of basket
ball was played Thursday night be-
tween the young lady teams-sweaters
VS.. blouses-of the high school, in their
athletic hall. The blouse waists threw
eight goals from the tield-Perry 3,
Gliding and Mires 2-and from four
free throws, Captain Perry scored
and Gliding point each, while from 10
free throws, Captain Baldwin, of the
sweaters scored points. The score at
the end of the first nalf was I to and
in the last half II to 2, both in favor Of
the blouse waists, thus making the final
score Is to 4.

The playing on both sides was very
vigorous.
The blouse waists proved themselves
much the best goal throwers, but the
sweaters played much the cleanest
game in regard to fouls.
Captain Baldwin seemed everywhere
present and just at the right time, but
was rather deficient in placing the ball.
Both teams did excellent work.

DISPUTE OVER DOGGIE !
American Field Trial Association
~ s> May. Go toPieces.

: Chicago, March 15.---The annual bench
show of the Chicago Kennel club closed
last night with a parade of prize winning
dogs and their owners. The show has
been one of the most successful ever held
in Chicago, about 1000 dogs having been
on exhibition AL records for sales were
broken, more than $4,000 having changed
hands. 1t is stated that because the Inter
State Field Trial association changed it's
name to the American Championship
Field Trial association and made the
qualifications for dogs competing in the
annual championship even such that only
winners of state trials can take part, there
is likelihood of disruption of the organiza-
tion. Several state organizations, it lis
said, threaten to withdraw. The assoc1a-
tion is composed of eleven organizations,
including those of South Dakota and
Iowa. =

BROWNING AND HIS ART

Discussed by DIR. Burton at Lecture
-. Recital Last Evening.
Robert Browning has an enthusiastic
following in Minneapolis. This was proved
by the large audience which gathered at
Stanley Hall last evening to hear Richard
Burton read "a Blot on the Scutcheon
They were we'll repaid by DR.. Burton's
dramatic, sympathetic rendering of the
intenser, scenes of this strong
psychological =. drama. Some of the
Browning devotees must have WINGED
little, however at the frank
statement Of the great poets shortcom-
ings. DR.. Burton did not spare any Of
them, but showed how Browning was a
great man in spite Of faults. .>s
Browning was sinner against art, he
said, but an example Of a great personal
ity speaking through art imperfectly. So
were George Meredith and Carlyle. His
difficulty in expression was natural, and
he tried hard to overcome it, but he cared
SO much for strength. for dynamic force
that he compressed his language and often
obscured the thought. Sometimes great
poet, he was at times only great
thinker, heavy philosopher instead Of
poet. 1t is a great mistake to try to
swallow Browning whole 1t is foolish
to make his faults out virtues. Such a
policy repels many who would otherwise
get much good from the study of Brown
ing.
Browning's genius lies in dramatic ex-
preston, which at it's best has the care
less freedom Of nature. Tennyson ex-
celled in the lyric. His polished art, then
the fashion, made Tennyson Immediately
popular. Browning did not achieve rec
ognition till the reaction, twenty years
later, when he quite overshadowed his
rival. Not until the present day has the
public come to take each at his true
value.
OF the "Blot on the Scutcheon," DR..
Burton said it was really a great acting
play, though it had always been avoided
This was because it was supposed to have
failed when put on by Macready in 1S4S
Browning himself explained this forty
years later. Macready did not want tc
produce it because Of financial difficulties
and it was not given due consideration
1t was withdrawn after five nights, but
not because Of any failure. 1t has since
been produced with great success BY
Lawrence Barrett and by the Londor
Browning club. The difficulty. to-day il
to get actors who can speak Browning
blank verse. Mrs. LeMoyne and Otis
Skinner are among the few who have es.
sayed it successfully. ...
