seemed to devote her whole attention to

were red as fire from vigorous clapping.
She wore a yellow ribbon bow almost
as big as herself
Dear IN, me; do you belong to sunshine?"
exclaimed. why, you little;
you can't pay dues. Now, wonder what
In the world such a mite of a girl ever
did to get such big sunshine bow

Her eyes fairly danced with delight and
she stood UP to report.
What could such a little girl do?"
repeated and the children held their
breath that they might hear the answer
She swayed gracefully to and fro and
then, with a wee laugh, said:
Oh. just smile on the old folks"
1t was voted by the branch that her re-
port was the best, and she went home
with a blue ribbon attached to her Sun
shine bow.

On account OF the wrong notion

In this department no effort will be

will be to get from voice culture and
public speaking something OF their
real worth for those who desire the
benefits TO be derived from these sub.
jects. The end cannot be accom
plished by shortcut methods and
cheap "piece-reciting." The course
outlined will prove attractive to those
desiring substantial instruction.

acterized by historical, social and
linguistic studies including ethics,
political economy and sociology.
While there Is a wide range of choice
accorded to the student in the selec
ton OF his studies, In each course
there are certain prescribed branches
that constitute the backbone of the
work. The program of subjects Is so
arranged as to make the most ex-
acting preparation.
Those who insist that the public
schools should give pupils training in
spelling and pr%onouncing the words
they use In everyday life cannot fail
to approve the course in word study.
According to the catalogue just issued.
this subject occupies a thirty-minute
period twice a week for three years.
On completing 1t the student knows
how to spell and pronounce all ord
mary words, besides he has his own
vocabulary much enlarged, more clear.
ly defined and fully mastered. Not
the least Of the requirements OF this
is that which gives the student
training In an intelligent use Of the
dictionary.
Beginning with September. three
new departments will be established

In such a way as to give full time to

course In a university can take a to.

some states are examined before they
can undertake teaching in a public
school. 1t is therefore evident that
such a department has come to be
accepted as a legitimate part of a
normal school.
Many will welcome the announce

struction in both vocal and instru-

policy Of the normal in establishing
these new courses to begin in such a

sent the highest standard, and so far

vidual instruction in ear training, in

the vocal instruction will be in charge
of Miss Mareth Furro, who has been
supervisor Of music In the normal for

The course In instrumental music
consists Of systematic instruction in
piano. violin, accompanying, ensemble
playing and harmony. The cata-
logue clearly indicates that 1t Is the
aim in this department to gain from
music as fully as may be Its full cul-

Times Republican, doubtless every one
who has had to go among the farming
communities of northern Iowa has been
impressed by the widely different de-
crees of material prosperity that he
finds in different localities. For in
stance, in travelling over certain rural
mail routes, hardly man is met that is
not, and for the past two or three years
has not been, complaining of hard times.
ON Others the people appear prosperous
and contented. In many cases the
difference in the quality of the land does
not by any means account for the varia-
ton in general conditions. But one fact
NAV nearly always be noted. The most
prosperous communities are those in
which the people market the most live.
stock and the least corn and oats, and
the weather residents of the less favor
ed localities are not those who haul the
largest number of bushels of grain to the
nearest elevator, but who empty the
contents of their cribs into their own
feed lots. So universally true is this
that one can hardly imagine why So
many men will continue year after year

brings any considerable success.

Bees as Burglars.

1t appears that the monarchies or
bees. well governed as they seem to be,
are afflicted nevertheless by organized
criminal classes-sneak thieves and
highway robbers. Some Of these robber
bees go in strong bands to pillage ana
are able to storm and sack hive. Aft

visions home. Some colonies or bees
never work; they live entirely by rob-
berry and murder.
There are also thieves who creep I'M

honey. II successful they return after
ward with hordes of burglar bees,

how beautifully yellow the waters OF
the northern sea appear. To those who
live on the seashore in temperate and
tropical countries the stories OF trav-
elers concerning the yellow waters Of
Greenland and Iceland are taken with
the proverbial grain of salt but sci
entists have declared that the arctic
seas are yellow, and it was Scores

peculiar color. Percciving that the wa
ters were of an unusual color, he had

his microscope. To his surprise, he
found that the color was due To the
presence of minute animalcules, each
so inconceivably small that single
