''GYM
PROVES POPULAR WITH THE
STUDENTS At UNIVERSITY
OF COLORADO.
Says II Has More Than Paid
for itseif-DormItory Question
Looked Into on Recent Visit Of
Committee from the University Of
Wyoming to Other Institutions.

When the committee for the univer-
sity visited the state university Of Col
orado at Boulder last week, the presi-
dent took the members OF the commit
tee to the gymnasium recently added
to that institution at a cost Of $4,000.
The is used not only for gym
nasium purposes but for a meeting
place for the different societies as
well. and the president said 1t had al
ready paid for itself many times over
in increased physical life and mental
activity. The young gentleman and
ladies' who have taken a physical
course an be noted for their health
and greater vigor, and r better fitted
for the school duties.
Another thing brought home to the
members of the committee was the
dormitory system. 1t was shown them
that the system Of cottage dormitories
was not satisfactory to the male mem
bers Of the classes. The system is not
only unpopular, but expensive, and
was not satisfactory to anybody, from
faculty to students.
1t is believed that a central board
ing hall for the girls might prove bene
fetal, with a good matron, but the
young men do not take so kidly to the
system, disliking somewhat the re
straint thrown around them In the mat
ter.
The trip was a good thing for the
committee in ways than one, ant
the knowledge gained will stand the
members in need in the future conduct
Of the University of Wyoming, which
is coming to be recognized as one Of
the leading institutions in the inter
mountain region and will take from
rank In time.

NOT ALTOGETHER RELIABLE.
His Wife Always Put Things in Their
Proper Places - That Is,
Nearly Always.

"Pooh!" said one man in an omnibus,
as he and other business men were
ON their way into the city, relates Lon
don Tit-Bits, my wife is the most
methodical, careful, neat woman you
ever saw. 1t is all nonsense for a
woman to let a house run into dis
orderly ways. You ought to see how
my wife does things"
well, of course, that is all very well
In theory" responded another; but
the best housekeeper gets behind, or
something, sometimes"
MY wife never does. She is always
the same. She keeps everything in
first-class order"
"She must be remarkable person, ~
said another man. "How long have
you been married?"
Ten years. And she has never dis
appointed me. Why, gentlemen, she
always puts everything in the same
place, and you know just where to
find what you want. For instance, |
went to my handkerchief drawer this
morning, and without looking took
out handkerchief and put it in my
pocket before starting out, and
know just as well as l know my own
name that that handkerchief is just
such size, and has my initials worked
in silk in one corner"
And the boastful man put his hand
in his pocket and pulled out-and un-
folded-a white night-cap, with long
strings dangling from it!

THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE.
Hens Minds An These Day Are No
Longer STEPPED in the Phrase
OlOgy of Scripture.

Ignorance of the Bible, even among
the educated classes, has reached
depth which would have left our pious
ancestors aghast. President Thwing
published, some years ago, the results
of an investigation into the acquaint-
ance of typical freshman class with
the phraseology of the Bible. An ex-
animation was set on the Biblical allu-
sions in Tennyson. The results would
have been laughable if they had not
been so dishearteBtng, states the New
York Evening Post. The freshmen
could not have gone farther astray if
they had been asked to point out Ten
nyson's Virgilian refrains or echoes
of Catullus. AS to the fact of the de-
Ginning and disappearing familiarity
with the Bible there can be little dis
agreement. Things have reached such
pass that a story recently told by an
Englishman Of letters might easily be
found applicable to any part of the
Bible. He went into bookstore and
inquired, Have you the Apocrypha?"
The young person behind the counter
reflected for moment and then asked,
SIS it weekly or a monthly?"
That the loss of the old saturation of
the popular mind with the language of
the English Bible is deplorable, few
would deny. 1t is like letting slip
precious part of our race heritage.
The sinewy style, the piquant idiom.
the haunting phrase-what shall our
literature, our oratory, do without
them? But they are going, or gone,
from the general memory. The edu-
Gators at Minneapolis did not over
state the extent of this literary loss of
the Bible. We only WISH for our part,
that there were any way of making
it good; but we fear that the Educa-
tional association was wrong both in
its account of the cause of the mischief
and its prescription of the remedy.
We do not believe, that is to say, that
the vanishing knowledge of Biblical in
cident and diction is due to the ban.
ishment of the Bible from the public
schools, as theological book, or that
it could be restored by the reading OF
the Bible in the schoolroom as pure
example of the highest literature.
Where did our grandfathers get
their intimate familiarity with the
splendid English of King James, YER
sion? How did it become second ma
ture to them to make their daily con-
versation, their family letters. vivid
with racy expressions or solemn ut
terance taken instinctively from the
Bible? They became mighty in the
Scriptures, not in school but in the
church, and, above all in the home, by
means of repeated reading and com
puisory memorizing under fathers
| eye or at mothers knee.

MISUSE OF ENGLISH.
London Critics Complain That We
Treat the Language as IL
1t Were Ours

In MaGmillan's Magazine this month
a writer discusses what he is pleased to
call our unhappy language, and refers
to such familiar instances of bad Eng
fish as the split-infnitive "and which"
and the more frequent "averse to-"
These errors are, unfortunately, like
the poor, always with US, and even the
incest writer's occasionally fall into
them, states the London Globe.
There are sentences in which to write
"averse from" seems as pedantic as 1t
is harsh in sound, and on the ground of
euphony even the writer in Macmillan
is inclined to defend the less correct
and more common proposition. 1t is
like the expression, different to-"
which is'so familiar in conversation
that one almost starts to hear man
or woman employ the correct form,
different from"
But these liberties which we take
with English are as nothing in compar-
ison with the license taken by the
Americans. In a recently published
American novel such sentences occur
as "She swung about heartsickly back
to him" This eyes were wonted to the
darkness" and cher voice grew
breathy with terror" Before these
horrible examples we are speechless.
What can be said of such creations
as "paintingly," WHITLEY" and
"breathy?" American authors appear
to be wholly without reverence for the
dignity of Englishi they have long
taken to spelling words in horrible
and hideous fashion, and now thew are
creating adverbs and adjectives which
are enough to make DR.. johnson turn
in his grave.
The point of the complaint is that
Americans treat the English language
just as if it were their own. 1t is not
nice. A story is told in contem-
porary of a speech recently made by
Yankee barrister in court of law. He
was for the plaintiff, whose cow had
been knocked down and killed by
train, and this was the contentious:
"If the train had been run as it should
have been ran, or if the bell had been
rung as it should have been rang. or
if the whistle had been blown as it
should have been blew, both of which
they did neither, the COW would not
have been injured when she was
killed"
