Gated last evening.

is a thing OF which the Benson aerie, No.

reason to be proud. 1t was determined,
therefore, that the formal in
.augurating its use by the order should be
as elaborate and handsome as might be
and this aim was successfully executed
last evening.
The assembly hall on the first floor was
used for the banquet, the long lines Of
tables running with the length of the hall.
The decorations Of the hall itself were
attractive and the tables were beautified
with ferns, carnations and roses.

lery of the assembly room the Hangover
orchestra played a number of selections
before the guests were seated and during

the aerie in the elaborateness OF the menu.

were responded to, the set addresses being

curricuiums Of our schools Of this mod

such as stenography. typewritins and
bookkeeping. Giving four years to such
courses makes them very narrow courses.
In some OF the European schools a diff
ferent idea obtains. There It is held that

and has occasion to use typewriting and
s~tenography he can take II up after he
has finished his broader educational
courses. / have In mind a stenographer

The evening meeting was presided over by
Superintendent N. M. Graham Of South
Omaha, president Of the association. The
program opened with music. rendered by
a semi-chorus from the Wagner o~rganiza-
