Notes.

Western Nebraska is very much worked
up over its failure TO land the two expert
mental stations which had been promised
It by the legislature, and the regents are
very much put out over the fact that the
Legislators appropriated the money out OF
the temporary university fund and not out
Of the general fund Of the state.
When they started to iocate the schools
the regents discovered that the appropria-
ton wal to be drawn against the tenn
porary university fund and their attorney,
G. s. Allen, also a member of the board,
held that II is contrary to law to use TIE
temporary university fund for this par
pose.
Under that ruling the regents felt they
could do nothing. Mr.. Bushee, representa-
tive from Kimball county, who was much
Interested In the new schools, was com
municated with. and he started a manda-
mus suit against the regents to compel
them to start the schools. This suit was
filed in the supreme court and an early
decision Is looked for. BY this means the
regents will be sbsolved from any respon-
sibility should the court hold they may use
the temporary university fund for this pur-
pose, and thus no taxpayer could then en-
Join the payment Of the warrants issued
FOR the establishment Of the schools.
For one OF the schools $4,000 was appro-
prlated, and for the other 5000.

SOCIAL LIFE AT KNOX COLLEGE,

Closer Relations Faculty and
Students.
Mepbers Of the faculty of Knox college,
Galesburg, III, this year are making an
unusual experiment to the end OF develop
ing the social life of the students and Of
intensifying the personal relation between
the students and themselves. The close per-
sonal contact of undergraduate with pro-
fessOr is one Of the advantages OF the small
college first mentioned by advocates of this
type of educational Institution, and this
relation between students and faculty has
always been pronounced at Knox. The
plan adopted this year is thai every Fri
day evening three Of the members Of the
faculty and their wives shall be "at home
informally to those students who care to
spend the evening with them. The fact that
there usually are counter attractions In the
way Of class or fraternity parties, lectures
or musical events does not detract from the
success of the scheme. The students not
having other engagements turn out we'll to
the faculty homes where the relatively
small number OF guests, twenty-five or
thirty, makes possible the Informal inter-
course which is desired. In every way the
inauguration of the "at homes has been
a valuable development in the social life
Of the college.

The Wackford Squeers method of teach
ing boys to spell was not so bad In theory.
When one OF them had spelled "winder"
he was set at work washing II, thus fixing
the word in his memory and assisting In
the house cleaning. It was the misap-
plicatlon OF the theory that was the OBJ
j~ectionable feature Of his system. In this
enlightened and progressive age, comments
the Boston Transcript, the general propo-
sition is finding wider acceptance. The
public schools OF the country are more
and more combining manual skill Will
academic theory. That Is what our tech
nical schools are largely for. h is what
our high schools OF mechanic arts mean.
The suggestion OF the lines to follow is
largely determined by local or sectional
conditions, Thus in Massachusetts. q
manufacturing state, the vocational fea-
ture OF public instruction has more to do
with mechanics. the use OF tools.
In Iowa agriculture is the dominant in
dustry, n a new movement has been
started there, which. II it spreads, as It Is
likely to, will give the state in the near
future a generation Of educated farmers.
The superintendent OF education In the six
teen townships OF Wright county, with it's
lO rural schools, is having elementary
agriculture taught in almost all the grades.
The average age Of graduation from the
eighth grade Is 1875 years, when the pupil
Is eligible to enter any high school OF
academy without examination, and he also
possesses a good wording knowledge Of
agriculture. There are q good many things
that he must NOW when he reaches that
stage OF acquisition. He must be able TO
give a comprehensive statement OF the
origin and history Of corn. explain In how
many ways II may be used as a table food.

effect upon them OF moisture or the lack
OF Il, tell why clover should be rotated
with the crop and understand something
about fertilizers. He must also be ac-

things OF like character.
This. 20 be sure, Is elementary, but so Is
everything else that the boy or girl learns

foundation for larger building. It. how
ever, helps to elevate the industry IN the

The address points to the splendid and

saying: The miner, the man in the forest,

by the Northwestern university Evanston,
Ill. Hereafter the university will encourage

To assist the ~fraternities the university
will give a site for the erection OF a -frater-
nifty house among the dormitories on the
north campus While the ownership of the
house will be in the university, the frater-
nifty will secure funds for the building from
its alumni and friends, the university loan
ing an agreed part OF the amount, If this
ID necessary. The fraternity will thus
secure a choice site and attractive home
under the most favorable conditions.
The style of construction will harmonize
with the rest Of the dormitory system. The
house must be kept in proper repair, and
the university and fraternity will agree as
to the care OF the ground. Nonfarternity
students will occupy neighboring dormi-
tories, a condition which will promote
closer association between the two groups
of students.
