on exhibition a pair of young wolves,

mother had been shot. They form an
center of attraction to
students and others, as well as a val
liable addition to the Normal ZOO"
now consisting of fell grown musk
rat and several field mice, the habits
of which are being studied by the
members Of the Biology Round Table.

Dr.. WiaShip Endorses
S0uthNiCk As q Reader

DR.. A. f. Winship, editor of the
Journal of Education, won q warm
place for himself in the hearts of all
members of the Normal school during
his visit here last winter. His opin.
ion of Henry Lawrence Southwick,
the great Shakespearean reader who
is to appear here, will accordingly
be noted with interest. Dr.. Winship
writes, among other complimentary
things: There is strength and high
intellectual vigor as well as great YER
satility and delicacy of discrimina-
ton in Mr.. Southwick's work Dr.. S.
Parkes Cadman, the great Brooklyn
preacher, who was to have been here
this spring on the Valley City lecture
course. is another expert who heart
lily endorses Dean Southwick. Will
liam J. Rolfe, the celebrated Shake
spearian authority, says of one Of Mr.,
Southwick's readings: 1T stirred and
moved me more than know how to
express"
The Music club of Valley City is
bringing this great reader to the
Normal Auditorium, where, May %.
he will read Shakespeare's famous
historical tragedy, Julius Caesar. "
The Music club has guaranteed the
enterprise, each member standing
good for two tickets. The entertain.
ment will, in fact, substitute for the
usual yearly banquet. Members Of
the club will invite their guests to at
tend the recital. The admission to
the general public will be fifty cents;
but, as the Normal school has cour
teously extended the free use Of the
auditorium for the occasion, and as
the Music club wishes to be of service
to the student body, there will be a
special rate of twenty-five cents to
Normal and High school students.
No one interested In literature and
the DRAMA, no one in fact who appre-
ciates "a finished and thrilling of a
powerfully moving play, can afford to
miss the Southwick recital.

The Concordia college baseball team,
of Moorhead, will play the Normal
school team next Monday afternoon on
the Tracy fats in what will be the
last home game of the season. It is a
difficult matter to make any predic-
lions as to the possible outcome Of
the game but the local team is de-
serving Of all the support students
and citizens can possibly give. Both
teams seem to be evenly matched, if
comparative scores count for any
thing.
The game with the Moorhead Nor
NAL school team last Monday resulted
disastrously for the home team, if the
game is to be judged by the scores
alone. But when everything is con
sidered that enters into the ordinary
athletic contest, the Cardinal and Ma.

Lectures on Children
OF the Special Glass

ut has been estimated that there
are over 100000 feeble-minded child

than ten per cent are in institutions
designed for their care" said Prof.
Hollis in his lecture "A Day at the
Vineland School With Messrs. John
ston and Goddard delivered before
the student teachers at the regula.
critic meeting on Wednesday after
noon.
"These children are allowed to min
gle with and handicap normal child
rem, or are shut up in homes without
special care, becoming over half
OF the pauper class when they grow
up. Nearly ninety per cent of the
idiots and feeble-minded are so
through heredity"
Prof Hollis deplored the fact that
tn" government was not more exact.
i'.C in this mater and said that one of
thu greatest blessings resulting from
snh schools as that at Vineland, N.
j., was that it was unearthing the
facts that would result in more ex.
acting laws to prevent the progaga.

1.-The CurtiSS IdPai''
NEW TEXTBOOK IN PENMANSHIP
HAS MARKS OF PEOAGOG-
lCAL MERIT.

His new work, The Curtiss Ideal
will take Prof C. c. Curtiss to New
York City for the greater part of the
vacation following the close of the
summer term, to consult with the pub.
1ishers The new textbook will be
out of the ordinary, in that it will
include photo.engraved illustrations,
Showing the work exactly as it leaves
the pen of the author, instead of the
engravers imitation, found in the or
binary text on this subject.
A glance at the subject mater shows
the book to differ in other ways from
anything that has yet been published.
The, entire system is based on the
eclipse and has distinct pedagogical
and psychological value to the student.
The system is evolutionary, each les
son being based on the preceding one.
The lesson dealing with the letter P
prepares the student for writing the
letter B, for instance; and the B pre-
pares him for the r.
The system is not one of letter writ
ing, so much as it is one of word writ
ing Mr.. Curtiss' text contains clev-
erly chosen words in each lesson, in
Guiding the letters the student has
been working with, and thus attempts
not only something new, but at the
same time reviews all that he has had
up to that part of the course. He has

is uniformly based on this, thus avoid

have had hurled at them relative to

been pronounced as ranking foremost
from pedagogical viewpoint as we'll
as from that of excellent penmanship.
In mentioning the work of Prof. Cur

nal, published in New York, and circu-
lating nationally, said in part, He is
one of these whose good right arm
has done valiant service for business

In the vast, perhaps no subject in
the curriculum has fallen below the
standard, that should be required,
more often than penmanship." said
Miss Candis Nelson of the department
of psychology and child study, in
speaking of Prof. Curtiss' work from
pedagogical view point
consequently, educators are look.
ing for system that will point the
way to better things. Such a system
has been found in The Curtiss
Ideal Teachers of penmanship
must take cognizance of the great
truths of physiology and psychology.
That is to say, the larger muscles
must be dealt with first and hand
writing must be matter of growth.
with the later development of the
finer muscles when technique is COM
plete. These pedagogical principles
have been evolved and worked in Prof.
Curtiss' system of penmanship. 1t
is growth from start to finish, every
step is based on preceding step, an
