FARGO COLLEGE NEWS

-.
The past week has been q busy and
eventful one at the college. The col
iese play, The Chauffeur, the biggest
football game of the season and the
state educational meeting have been
the centera of attraction.
The Chauffeur was the occasion of a
very enthusiastic display OF college
spirit. There were college songs and
yells, and as President Creegau. who
has recently returned fron q trip to
the east, entered the operahpuse. he
was greeted with q rousing reception.
and the college song was sung In his
honor. The students were out en-
Hlasae, and the faculty occupied the
boxes which were decorated In college
colors. Several blocks OF seats in yarir
Gus parts of the house were occupied
by groups Of visiting teachers. The
play, given by members OF the college
under the direction of Mrs Remington
OF the department Of expression. was
one Of the best amateur efforts ever
seen In the city. The cast OF charact-
ers was as foIlowBs

The college has continued its work
during the sessions of the educational
association. but classes have been ex-
cuaed ct the discretion of the individ-
ual instructors, and most OF the faculty
and q large number or the students
found time to attend the most import
ant meetings, and several members OF
the faculty participated in the pro-
cAedings. One OF the best addresses
OF the meet was that OF Or. Creegan on
Music as an Aid to Social Betterment
DR. Creegan prefaced his remarks by
saying that he spoke as . layman in
music, but soon convinced his hearers
that he knew how to appreciate the
best ia music and that he was con-
versant with the history Of It's develop
meut. THE early Calvinietic and Puri-
tan attitude toward music was one Of
hostility. but we now look upon music
as one OF the most uplifting express
sionm CT the civilization Of our day. Or.
Craagan urged the cultivation of every
latent spark OF musical ability, and
made 4 special plea for chorus work.
DR.. Knowfton has happy faculty Of
putting the results Of his observations
into exceedingly interesting and in
structive form. His address Friday
at the Masonic temple on Class Hduca-
ton versus Popular Education in
Europe. was full Of information and
helpful suggestion. He took as typical
OF Europe three leading cities. London.
Paris ana Leipsic, where he has made
exhaustive study Of primary and sec
ondary As well aB university methods.
Friday morning Dean Brown handled
the subject. The Case Of the freshman.
He contanded that the new element in
the Freshman class should not be met
with an effort TO make II Nccnform 10
UNIFORM standards. but that IL should
be assimulated 10 the rest OF the COLI
legs through a. careful study or the
needs ard aptitude of the freshmen
themselves. This method takes longer,
but has in it more OF the human ele-
ment. Freshmen need to feel that the
first year Of college IL not q glorious
time Of freedom from restraint but
should come to realixe their respon-
sibility. Dean Brown has been sue
ceagfuI In introducing some inno-
ton at the college In the way, of stu
dent government, all tending toward
student self government The so-call-
ed student cabinet organized under his
inspfration, has proved O. decided sue
cess and met with the approval Of
both students and faculty
Another address was that Of Presi-
dent Creegan on the Bible In the Pub
Tic schools. At the meeting OF the sec
ondnry section. Mr.. vowles spoke Q
few words in behalf Of the Classical
Association OF the MlddleweHt and
South. an organisation OF teachers Of
Latin.

music at the educational meet. The
