Scholars Have Picnic

The scholars OF both the Gram
mar and High School room, had a
picnic Monday ON the river bank
below town on the east side.
They took their lunches and got
in a nicely protected spot and had
a very pleasant time. They had
covered rigs and drove back and
forth and had one of the most en-
ioyable afternoons imaginable.

cred spot where they enjoyed the de-
%licious lunch prepared for them by
their mothers. Their teacher, Miss
Andrews, was with them.

The State University

The degree of interest taken il
the university is encouraging tc
the faculty and to the people OF
the state. In the visits of the
members of the faculty to different
portions of the state they meet
with increasing cordiality of re-
ception from the citizens and with
growing inquiry from prospective
Students.
The people are beginning to re-
aIize that they have within their
own state an institution which
furnishes a better opportunity for
the education of their children
than they are likely to find in the
older states
Nowhere do students get more
individual consideration or come
in closer touch with their instruct
ors han here ut home. Nowhere
are the surroundings more fitting
or the social conditions more safe
and democratic tnan here in La.
ramie.
The students at the university
certainly do not feel that they are
among strangers or in a foreign
land. They enter into all social
circles and take their part in all
social events or functions precise
ly in the anne way as they would
in their home towns.
The course of studies pursued at
the university is flexible and adapt
able to the individual wants and
preferences f the students in a
really unique way, and the mem
bers of the faculty feel and show
a quite exceptional interest in the
students choice of studies and
progress in their pursuit.
The university has few traditions
to hamper progress and improve
ment and fewer superstitions to
paralize the initiative and overawe
the enthusiasm either of instruct
or or student.
We doubt if people generally re-
alize bow great is the influence of
these conditions and how much
they mean to the fresh and resil-
lent spirits of ambitious youth.
We are a young state and our uni
versity is a young institution with
its career before it rather than be-
hind it, and this is symbolicsl of
the spirit of youth which ought to
be prevalent in every Institution
which deals closely with the young
minds.
1t Wyoming parents are in doubt
what to do in the matter of the ed
ucation of their children, they owe
an inevitable duty to themselv es
to think of these things aud inves-
tigate their own school before
going elsewhere Boomerang

difference of opinion exists on a aues-

La Toilette bill in case il is offered
as a substitute after the House wool
measure is defeated. A number OF
senators expressed their desire to vote
for the La Toilette substitute after
the House measure was voted down
