school faculty for the art exhibit has
been communicated not only to the
pupils Of that department and the
students of the school, but to the COM
munlty at large, The sale OF tickets
has been very good. and the pro-
gramme of specified meetings has
awakened genuine interest In the pic
lures. Miss Guild, teacher OF draw
Ing has been generally helpful in In
terpreting the exhibit, and the model
school teachers have been tireless in
their efforts to make 1t vital factor
for culture. The lecture of Miss
Simmons, of the agricultural college,
on the great cathedrals, was full OF
the individual quality OF first hand OBJ
servation, and made an inspiring in
depreciation OF this feature OF the ex-
hibit. Miss Chase, in her impressive
review OF Egyptian art, gave a charm
ing insight into another important de-
partment of the display. The wo-
mans club of Moorhead attended the
exhibit on Thursday afternoon when
they were given a grief explanation
Of the American historical pictures by
Mr.. Reed, and were served with choco-
late and lady-fingers by the young
women of Miss Bentleys classes in
domestic science. Miss Hayes stu
dents furnished a capital programme
Of interpretative readings on Friday

features Of interest, and altogether the

usual degree.

brilliant in its expression OF class

presented at the auditorium about two
weeks after the Easter vacation closes.

admiring interest is that of the spe-
cial students of ]. H. Powers who will
appear in a select programme at the

Miss Robinson, dean Of women at
the Moorhead normal, entertained the
senior class of that institution at an
Easter party last Monday afternoon,
In the reception room OF Wheeler hall.
The main feature Of the afternoon
was the decorating OF Easter eggs. in
which considerable artistic skill was
displayed by some of the members,

ments were served, consisting OF leo

Social Service Club.
About a week ago Miss Robinson. a
visiting nurse of Fargo, spoke to the
girls OF the normal school on the
work that is being done by the So
cial service clubs. She told them about
the difficulties the workers have to
contend with and Of the many trials
that they have to meet. often times
the greatest difficulty OF the helpers
is to convince the people that they
really need help. Another difficulty is
to secure members os the clubs who
are willing &c devote part of their
time to social service. The work OF
social service is gaining ground in the
cities and the various schools are es-
pecially interested and helpful. A So
cial service club has been organized
at the normal in which the girls take
a great interest. A club OF this kind
will be OF value not only to the people
who are being helped but also TO the
members who partake in the work.
