While girls and upper-class men
looked ON from every point of van

mixed things up this morning. For
one fast and furious half hour the
campus atmosphere was filled with
war cries, hats, dismem.bered garments
and stray locks of hair.
About II o'clock the freshmen
hoisted a square Of green and white
oil cloth to the top Of a flag pole on
the campus between the main and
law buildings. One agile ''freshie'
climbed to the top Of the pole and
tied the ha1yards far .out Of the reach
of any one on the ground. Then axle
grease was spread over the staff.
These precautions did not content
the freshmen, and they decided tc
watch their banner. AS the sopho-

risive calls and invited them to try

TOO MUCH SOCIAL;

which IS thus told by former prom

when the socialist labor party wa:
formed it was the pioneer in a move

popular, and for a long time the party
had the field to itself. Then came
accusations that the party was being
used by those in the headquarters Of
fees in New York for purposes O.
private gain. Following that, the par
! ty leaders attacked the union labol
organizations on the ground that the.
were not beneficial to the body Of la
boring men, as they served to lin
the pockets of the labor leaders. Nat
urally this position was not popula
with the mass of the socialist labo
party, and most Of them went over t.
| the present socialist party.
TN the past few months, the loca
branch of the party has dWindled t.
less than a dozen members, and thei
business meetings have been discon
tinued. The only semblance Of social

PERVERTED QUOTATIONS.

How few quotations, even the most
generally known ones, are ever writ
ten or spoken as originally written.
Some are misquoted through ignor-
ance, while some are changed to suit
the occasion. One Of the cleverest
adaptations Of an old saying is that
used In the advertising Of Push-kuro:
When Push-kuro comes in at the
door, Sickness flies out at the window.
From what we have heard concern
ing some of the wonderful cures being
effected by that remedy we are led to
believe that DR.. Pusheck is amply JUS
titled In appropriating the above lines.
The remedy is rapidly achieving a
national reputation for the cure Of
rheumatism, nervous diseases, gen
eral debility, stomach trouble, female
complaints and catarrh. DR.. c..
Pusheck of 1919 Diversey boulevard,
Chicago, will send you the remedy for
81 if your druggist will not supply you.

Shall the Werner system of teaching
arithmetic be retained in the public
schools of this city?
The school boards committee on
text books is attempting to decide this
question this afternoon at a special
meeting. Teachers and principals
We're summoned to give their practical
experience.
It is contended that the system is
highly unsatisfactory and that the
only knowledge the children. get Of
arithmetic is confused and superficial.
Nevertheless, others admire the sys-
tenn and insist that excellent results
are obtained.
The old arithmetics were based on
the theory that each branch in arith-
metic must be studied until the pupil
had mastered it. Then another topic
was taken up. The Werner books
devote one page to one branch, the
next to another and so on thru ten or
twelve branches Of common arithme-
| tic. The system then repeats the
process in a sort Of spiral progress
sion." Opponents Of the: system de-
clare that his theory is illogical and
that the pupils do not master their
elementary arithmetic.
Bankers Deplore Results.

who come from the Minneapolis
schools to take clerical positions in
our bank to know much about com

Another leading banker, who ha
several boys in the schools, is great,
disappointed with the showing hi
boys make in arithmetic, and think
something should be done to max
their school work more practical.
