the universities OF Idaho, Washington, Ore

The university extension lectures given at

greeted every speaker. The people at both
Of these towns we're loud in their praise OF
this feature of university work.
The University Of Idaho has conferred
upon Chancellor Avery the degree of doctor
OF laws. This is not only a graceful recog-
milton Of the university by a sister univer-
sity, but is a tribute to the high esteem in
which DR.. Avery is held personally from
his connection with the University Of Idaho

year 1907,

places can guarantee an average attend

the railway department and the education

a salary Of $3.50 to 1857 a year and

University school of Music Mt lincoln
One of Foremost in Country.
To those who are seeking an institution
for the study Of music 1t seems quite un-
necessary to look beyond the borders OF
the state. Although It may not be generally
known. the University OF Music, Lincoln.
Neb., is one OF the stanchest schools OF
music in the country, having a very large
and efficient faculty and a body of 600
students. The plans are completed for the
extension of the school building, which
includes thirty practice rooms and an I'd
dition to the faculty, now more than thirty
teachers. The numerous inquiries received
during the summe indicate an increase OF
attendance for the coming year over any
previous one, and the advantages exceed
those of any former year.
It is a pleasure to know that the study
OF music may be pursued by young people
OF this and adjoining states with the feel.
ing that no greater opportunities are OF,
fered in any OF the larger eastern schools
and its close proximity to the homes OF
Nebraska people makes It highly advan.
tageous and should be patronized by al
who desire a complete course in any prin.
cipal branch Of music.

~eviva of Contests Planned by state
superintendent.
The old-time spelling bee is to be re
vived in Indiana schools this year, with
the hope that school children will thereby
attain that perfection of spelling which is
boasted by the products Of the schools of
the good old days" Furthermore, the
uncles and aunts and the fathers and
mothers of the present-day pupils will be
invited to spell down the school children
and determine IL they have a right to con-
denim present systems of teaching.
This is one Of the points brought out in
the new course of study which has been
prepared by r. J. Alley, superintendent of
public instruction, and which has been dis
tributed among the 5000 teachers of the
state.
The charge is frequently made" says
DR.. Alley, perhaps with much good reason.
that pupils nowadays do not spell as well
as their fathers and mothers did in the
good old days. The spelling school was
an institution that undoubtedly was an aid
in gaining efficiency. A revival of the old.
time spelling bee might prove to be botH
profitable and enjoyable. Why not call ir
the fathers and mothers, uncles and aunts
and settle the question in Indiana whether
our boys and girls are deficient in thi,
important branch Of study, as some would
have us believe they are? 1t would in
crease the community interest, aid in max
ing the school the social center, and brinl
parents and teachers into closer relation
ship and help in making better spellers.'
