Preliminary Meetinu.

preliminary meeting OF the stu
dents was held in the basement of the
Baptist church. Prof Snyder, who
had charge of the section, termed it
a general get-together meeting and
of the same sort as was desired for
every morning to let the students get
acquainted.
He urged the getting to classes on
time. Everyone should be in their
proper places at the regular starting
hour. There is only week allowed
to discuss multitude of things and
every moment is valuable, while the
tardy student not only misses impor.
tant parts but disturbs the others and
delays the work. Therefore, be on
time.
He spoke pointedly about the use
of notebook and pencil. There are
so many things touched upon during
the week, SO many different things
explained, and one is apt to forget If
he trusts to memory alone, while a
pencil and paper can serve to the
same result, and merely jotting down
an important fact now and then will
be the means of keeping all the In
structions at hand
Concerning the men smoking al

arrangements laid down no rules, but

tobacco smoke, it was their privilege

Today the storing of several dozen

workmen's tools in recess of the
electric light plant on the canal, gave
rise to the rumor that work was to
begin at once on the construction of

Officials of the company did not
deny or affirm the report when APP
preached by a representative of the
press this afternoon, although reticent
to talk of the scheme which appears
TO have found favorable impression in
the minds of those who have heard of
the wall proposition.
Representatives of the electric com

option had been asked on the power

Gated. Reason for delay on the part
of the power company in making this
property optional or making any
proposition to the company at all. is
not understood by the electric peo
pie. From what could be gained to-
day, the light plant representatives
do not look with favor on the plan

CHILD LEARNS SPEECH
BY HANDS ON LIPS

FRANKFORT, Ky. March pa case
which has excited not only the keen in
terest of Augustus Rogers superintendent
o; the Kentucky School for the Deaf. but
of numerous specialists, is that of a Cow
ington girl now seven, who has been
blind and deaf since she was two years
old. Her name has thus far been with
held.
The child has lived with her grandmoth-
er and through many hours of the day
sat on her lap. Frequently she would put
her hand over her grandmother's mouth
with the base of the hand and the thumb
on the woman's throat. AS the older
person talked the girl would feel the mo-
ton of the throat and mouth as the
sound was uttered. Gradually syllables
were learned and finally complete words
and now the little maid can say many
things, though with the odd infections
common to the deaf.
The case is regarded locally as quite
as remarkable as that of Helen Keller.
