Do Students Spell
Correctly or Not :?

F u..
This is question which was
brought to an actual test on Tuesday
during the general exercises when the
entire student body wrote list Of
forty words pronounced by President
Mcfarland. This list is one especially
prepared by an educator Of note, who
appended statement to the effect
that the average high school student,
1t had been found, did not spell over
twenty-five per cent Of these words
correctly.
The words given were: tillage, re-
commend, archives, accommodate, en-
inent, salary, imminent, separate, cate
chism, parallel, centenary, Bismarck.
centennial, pleasurable. supersede, oc-
,currence. emanate, conceive. bilious.
appendicitis, oculist, synonym. xerxes.
discrepancy. aqueduct. Ghautapqua,
siege, liquefy. Manila, benefited, ami.
hilate, metallic. Champagne. campaign.
Champlain, lily, nnery, coilectible, in.
delible, and repetition.
1t is seen that these are puzzle
words to the average speller. but II
is also to be seen from the following
statistics that the students Of the Nor.
NAL school are somewhat better spell
ers than what is given out by the com
piler Of the list. Only twenty-five out

there are two experimental beds Of
considerable size in which the pupils
are watching the growth of foreign
plants with much interest.
The five finest individual gardens
have been accredited to Minnie Albers,

sections. Daily weather maps are
sent out which may be secured from
the nearest weather bureau publica-
ton station, which for the northwest
Is Minneapolis. Long distance tele-
phone exchanges receive the forecast
at about 1000 a. M, and subscribers
may receive it by calling up long dis
lance. Some telephone companies
have comon call, by means Of which
all subscribers are summoned to the
phone and the predictions are then
sent over the wire. Other places have
a system Of whistle signals. One long
blast means fair weather; two long,
rain or snow; three long, local rain or
snow; one short, lower temperature;
two short, higher temperature; three
short, cold wave The more common
signals, though, are the flags, such as
are now being used by the Normal
school. These signals are very simple
and very easy to interpret. The white
flag stands for fair weather, the solid
blue for general rain or snow, the com.
bination Of white and blue means local
rain or snow. The black triangle is
the temperature flag and never floats
alone, but placed above any other flag
means that the weather signified by
that flag will be accompanied by ris-
ing temperature. II placed below an
other flag it signifies falling temper
AZURE is to accompany the weather
shown by the flag above 1t. The alb
sence of the temperature flag indicates
about stationary temperature. The
white flag with black center indi-
Gates the approach Of cold wave.
We hope the citizens of the town,
as well as the students, will make use
Of these signals, and will form their
opinions as to the accuracy Of the
forecasts, not from the predictions
that fail only, but by following the
outcome Of all the predictions through
a long period Of time.

Jew and Gentle II
Modern Life Scenes

OF all the recent stage treatments
of the relations existing between Jew
and Gentle In modern society, none
is so charming as j. Hartley Manners
delightful comedy, 1.-THE House Next
Door" Produced In London few
years ago. this play enjoyed long
and prosperous season 1t one Of the
leading theatres. In New York the
experience was repeated. and since
then the comedy has been given with
great success In all the leading Ameri-
can cities:
Two families-that OF Sir John Cots-
void and that Of Sir Isaac Jacobson
represent the two races. Old.fash-
Toned prejudices and hide.bound racial
1Nde, at drst intervene between tie
love affairs OF the children OF the two
baronets, who live side by side yet
without mutual sympathy. How the
narrow.minded man gains breadth and
the uncongenial neighbors become
friends is detailed by means Of an in
teresting plot, replete with laughable
glimpses Of human nature in its fol-
bles and shams, as we'll as In Its un-
selfishness and generosity.
1.-THE House Next Door" is not an
farce. Rather, it Is an
excellent example Of that higher form
of comedy which draws its mirth and
pleasure from the exhibition Of human
nature in its lighter phases. The list
of personages includes the parents and
the children Of the two houses. the
servants, and two other well-drawn
types who hover between the Cotswold
and the Jacobson homes. The char
acter of Sir John Cotswold, irascible.
naughty, yet withal amusing
and even lovable, is one in which the
famous actor, J. E. Dodson, made the
hit Of his career. The role is cleverly
contrasted with the suave, gentle, at
tractive Sir Isaac Jacobson.
The State Normal School Dramatic
club will present "The House Next
Door" at the Normal auditorium,
Thursday evening, June 10. The
club will maintain both its high STAN
dard, which it revealed in its produc-
ton last winter Of "A midsummer
Nights Dream" and its popular
prices Of admission-25, IS, and so
cents, with all seats reserved.

Here she will find oppor-

Of social life. She who enters such
a community more interested in what
she will bring into It than in what
she will carry from it will always OBJ

The teacher who enters commun-

group, who is critical of the people,
their social life and customs, who
holds herself aloof from the commun.

recognition. But she who comes

the individual child in her charge, but
in the life Of all about her-she it
is who will draw all unto her.
Though she may be in the life about

Though she may conform in general
