Dr. Libby's class in History v. (Sem-
Einary of American History finished
the study of the Jacksonian epoch some
time ago, and for the last two weeks
it has been taking UP the beginnings
of slavery. Last week DR. Libby de-
livered three lectures on the origin and
development of the slave trade and
this week he spoke on the slavery ques-
ton in the first congress under the
constitution. In addition to this the
members of the class have presented
reports on the various phases of the
early history of slavery: Slavery in the
Declaration of independence, Miss Nc
Farland; Slavery and the Northwest
Ordinance, and the Supreme Court De-
cisions Relating to the Validity Of the
Northwest Ordinance, Mr. Ware;
Slavery in the Constitutional Conven-
ton. Mr.. Ruud; Slavery and the Flor
ida Treaty Mr., Johnson. This subject
viii be continued all through next
term, and IL possible, some time will
be given to the status of the negro
problem of today. These two topics,
the growth of democracy and the evo-
luton of slavery, are the two great
factors in American history from 1924
to 1851. and the study of them from
the sources is essential to everyone
who would know American history.

STATE UNIVERSITY.

BY the agreement Of what Is known
as the Bismarck conference" of the
heads of the various educational in
situations in the state, and by Senate
Bill No. 1913, which has become law
embodying such agreement, what has
heretofore been known as the "Ad-
vanced normal department" becomes a
part OF teachers college and the pre-
paratory part of the whole normal de-
partment has been discontinued. This
portion of the work must be done here
after either in high schools or in the
regular preparatory department, which
is still maintained at the university,
pending its transformation into a mod
ell high school for teachers college.
This means that teachers college is
Is to be hereafter the name of the de-
partment of the university whose func-
ton is the preparation of teachers for
the common and high schools of the
state 1t also means that no one may
enter 1t who has not completed the
equivalent of st-class high school.
Teachers college will grant at the
end of two years. as heretofore the
normal or teachers diploma. The cur
riculum necessary for this lower, or
first diploma will be outlined in the
Forthcoming catalogue. 1t will be seen
that the change in the law will not
affect those now in attendance. In
stead of receiving the normal diploma
from the normal department, those
who complete the prescribed two
years of work will receive the teach
ers diploma from teachers college
All are enrolled in and are members
of teachers college.
On the completion of the full four
years curriculum of teachers college
the graduate is entitled to the degree
OF. bachelor Of arts (B Al and to
what is known as the bachelors di-
ploma in education, Which certifies to
his preparation for teaching in the
high schools of the state.
BY the conference referred to and
by the revised law the normal schools
of the state are to limit their work
to two years above the high schools
and are thus restrained from becom-
ing in any sense, colleges.
The sixth annual Gansl debate took
place last Tuesday evening at the
Presbyterian church and an excellent
contest 1T was. The question debated
was an important one, and the young
ladies handled it well. The merits of
the two ways of handling the liquor
problem We're ably discussed, and it is
safe to say that a great deal of light
was shed on the subject and that a
great deal more about the methods of
handling the liquor traffic was learned
by the audience than they knew before.
Those who have heard the Gansl de-
bates know that the girls have work.
ed hard and to good purpose. These
debates have aroused a great deal of
interest in debate among the students
of the university, not only among the
young ladies who are Immediately
concerned, but among the young men
las WELL Something of the high stan
dard of debating here at the U. is due
to these debates.

The bulletin sent out by Dean Bah
cock of the school of mines, on the
analysis of illuminating oils, has been
reprinted by the university in the
February bulletin. This is certainly a
wise move. for there are great many
people in this state who are imper-
fectiy acquainted with the work done
along this line in the school Of mines.
The catalogue number of the bulletin
will be Issued in April and will be
sent out early to the high schools of
the state. There Will not be as many
changes In this catalogue as in the
catalogue last year, but, Of course,
there will be some.
