scented, with scenery, costumes, and
realistic stage setting. h first OF
these was The Three Bears, which was
little wee bear; Grover Wilson, who
was the middle sized bear, and Fred
Ostatter, who was the great big: bear;
and Alice Grover, who was Goldilocks.
A fairy tale of Grimm's was the sec
ond dramatization, and this was given
by Delmar Edin as the bear, Curtis
Ballard as the dwarf, Chesttne kendaIl
Red, and Lorraine M~otchenbacher as the
mother. A pretty part of this drama
~tization was the forest. Curtis Bal
lard's trim little figure dressed in a
little suit, pointed hat, and long beard
made a perfect little dwarf.
Then came a dramatization of Phoe-
be Cary's poem, The Leak in the Dyke.
This was as complete as could be, with
true dress Of Holland people an inter.
Tor of a cottage, and a dyke of good
loan. The story was we'll presented,
and the scenes, which pictured, as 1T
were, scenes in this quaint country,
were most interesting. The parts were
taken by Roy Norton, Sophia Tweeten,
Burton Anderson, Edna Edin, Harold
Nordstrom, Gustave Lindholm, ana
Herbert Nordstrom. Seldom does n
see such natural acting.
After the program was given a rev
minutes of visiting and partaking or
refreshments were enjoyed. Professor
Collins spoke, then to the PARENTS
about some of the interesting points Of
the program. He commended the rea-
lures Of the program because they al
low the child plenty of activity along
the line of their need. Most OF the
activities afford rhythm, an essential
thing in life, develop the motor actl-
vities of grace, ease, and movement.
A report by Miss Belle Deans of the
conference of training teachers at Man
kato last week, was the occasion Tor
a meeting Of the faculty last Thursday.
Miss Deans made a fine report upon
the meeting. She described the equip
ment and the work of the school at
Mankato, and spoke In praise or ootn,
and of the very cordial treatment ac-
corded the visitors. The model school
work and the practice teaching were
given most attention. After a hair
days observation the visitors met and
discussed the work. Miss Deans took
part on the program by discussion
with Miss Guildemeister of Winona,
Standards of Judging Efficiency of the
Pupil.
Professor Bivin Speaks.
The final of the series of six ad-
dresses on some phase of responsibility
was given by Professor Bivin's of Far
go college Wednesday noon. PROFESSOR
Bivin's spoke pointedly and used strik-
ideas. He used two texts from the
bible: AS a. Man Thinketh, so is He, and
A Dwarf Shall not Enter in Unto the
Veil. With these texts he developed
the thought that one purity of mind
depends upon refinement Of thought,
and that dwarfed physical, mental, and
moral being prevent one from attain
ing desired ends.
The dynamic ideas which Professor
Bivins theoretically impressed upon
his hearers were: Thing things
straight; think things through; think
high ideals.
In introducing Professor Bivins, who
concluded the series of talks given in
the past few weeks, President Weld ex-
pressed the appreciation that tn mem
the committee that arranged the ad-
dresses, and for the speakers who gave
the addresses.
