questions and problems as arise to be
dealt with from time to time.
The first subjects-those for the
younger child-should be chosen for
the simplicity of the forms by which
they may be represented, and the
obvious treatment of their arrange
ment; for example, such simple
rounds as fruits or vegetables in con-
junction with a contrasting form of
different dimension. The oranges and

had difficulty in stopping them finally.
The county and all eastern Oregon

GIRLS ENGAGE IN BATTLE ROYAL
One Hundred New Arrivals "Cop OFF"
Sofa Pillows and Coverings and
The Fun Begins.

APPLETON, Wis, Sept. ia
pitched battle in which 100 newly ar
rived girls participated, was the rous-
ing opening of Ormsby hall of Law
renee university last evening by the
co-eds who are to be quartered there.
Pillows, canes, pennants and shoes
were used as weapons, and shields and
couches and furniture in general were
overturned and used as barriers, the
scrap being to secure sleeping accom-
modations for the night in the parts
of the hall that are not completed.
1t was thought that by evening
every room of the new addition would
be ready for occupancy, but when
over one hundred girls arrived in addi-
ton to those already here, they found
the entire lower floor could not be
used, and the supply of beds on the
upper floors was not sufficient to ac-
commodate the whole number. The
battle commenced through girls "cOp-
ping" coverings and sofa pillows out
of other rooms, and soon it became
genral, with 100 girls surging back and
forth in the wide Railways and in and
out of rooms. While the battle was
not lacking in intensity, it was all in
friendly spirit, but many of the girls
slept with insufficient bedding and
minus pillows.
Fifty new dresses had been deliv-
cred in rooms in the afternoon and the
fight centered on the possession Of
those rooms. When possession was
attained, doors were barricaded and
blinds drawn and the spoils were to the
victors.
