I try.
She dazzled me quite, with glance Of
her eye,
And my friend, Mrs. Selby,

When I dubbed her the charmingest

She was little and gentle and dainty

third annual summer school Of Purdue
university will open this year on
June 10, and will close July rs, COW
ering six weeks time. When the Gus
tom of holding summer school was
inaugurated at Purdue two years ago,
the success of the plan was assured.
Each year the school has improved,
and this year will bring out the best
efforts of the professors and instruc-
tors in charge Of the work. Arrange
ments are being made to handle a
larger number Of students than ever
before. The purpose of the school is
to train teachers in vocational sub
jects, and is conducted primarily for
the teachers who wish to equip them
selves for teaching agriculture, man
ual training and domestic science. The
entire laboratory equipment OF the
university, including the library, is at
the disposal of the summer school
student, and every effort is made to
better fit him for his work.

But she's not only famous for the
brewing of teas.
She's painter of recognized worth,
II you please.
But I'm sure il you offered her heaven

She could never paint a picture az
fair as herself
Why! (pardon a bit Of an oath)
swear,
When l saw her curled up on that
long steamer chair,
That my heart hammered out q ryth
metical tune
And my soul started singing an an

And she showed me the stolen back
Of a monk,
And a skull with the tendency to
ward getting drunk,
And my soul hushed its song with a
sort Of gasp
And shut up as tight as the lips of a
clasp
But forgive me good frinds,
I could thus ramble on from morning
till night
And from midnight until dawn
So I'll close with a toast to which al

INDIANA WILL HAVE
EXPOSITION EXHIBIT
Commission in Charge Meets
With Hearty Support in It's
Solicitations.

INDIANAPOLIS. March 1e.-The
fact that Indiana stands sponsor for
some of the most important depart
ures being employed in the modern
educational systems Is a sufficient
lf.not the sole reason, that the efforts
of the commission entrusted with the
duty of preparing representative
exhibit for the Panama-Pacific Uni
versal Exposition at San Francisco
next year should have the cordial
and hearty cooperation of school
superintendents, heads of higher in
situations of learning, instructors and
their patrons. Without being given
this support, the commission could not
hope to succeed, SO 1t is a matter OF
considerable qualification that the
committee directly in charge is meet
ing with such generous support in its
solicitations.
To correspond with the dictum Of
its managers, that the exposition is
to exemplify progress, not past his
tory. the commission or committee on
educational matters has determined
upon a competition starting in the
counties and terminating in a state
display to be made at Indianapolis
during the sessions Of the State
Teachers association. Hon. Homer
l.. Cook, chairman Of the committee,
has written the county and city
school superintendent setting forth
preliminary plans, while the rules and
regulations governing the competition
are soon to follow. Mr.. Cook also
proposes to take up the question with
the heads of the higher institutions of
learning in ample time that the nee
essary preparations can be made.
To Collect Specimens.
The collection of specimens of work.
covering as they do, so wide a scope.
with the introduction of manual train
ing, domestic science. arts and crafts
into the training of the youth Of Ind
lana, will be a stupendous task, hence
the wish is that the greater part Of
the work can be done before the close
of the present school year. 1t now
remains but for the proper degree of
enthusiasm to be aroused in order
that the display, as finally prepared
for the exposition. may be such that
the progress made in Indiana's schools
of learning may be fairly judged.
The place Of the state in matters
educational is generally recognized.
It has filled from it's ranks of instruc-
tors. places of high degree in the older
institutions of the east, and in the
west, where the constant effort is to
profit and improve on the experiences
Of the longer established. Failure to
sustain it's position cannot be due TO
lack of ability on the part of Indiana's
students, but must come from dis
interest and disregard Of the import
ance Of the occasion.
