USELESS MATERIAL
STATE SUPERINTENDENT TIC
ELIMINATE DEAD ROT" IN
EXAMINATIONS.

Vermillion, July 24.-"State exam
nations in the future are to be plan
ned to favor the elimination of use
less material in every subject" said
State Superintendent of Schools C. III.
Lugg in an address delivered here be-
fore the students of the summer SEES
sion of the University of South Da-
kota. The statement and it's elucida-
ton by Supt. Lugg are considered by
teachers and educators at the sum-
mer session to be significant of a
very important development toward
increased efficiency in the public
schools of the state.
Supt. Lugg, DIR. w. Franklin Jones,
head of the department of education
of the state university: Supt. Morton
C.. Helm of Pierre, and other educat-
ors in the state are out with the
pruning knife to do away with the
dead rot" that has encumbered a
great many of the common school
subjects, such as arithmetic, spelling,
history and grammar. The time hon
ored square and cube roots, proper
ton, greatest common divisor and
least common multiple are due for
the hook, and work in fractions is be-
ing replaced by percentage. The
same, say the teachers, is going to
happen TO other subjects now that the
state examinations will uphold the
teachers in the r~enovatipg process.
This subject of the elimination of
useless material is to be given an inn
portant place in the discussions of
the State Teachers association at Alb
erdeen, November % 10 "a. The pro-
gram committee, which consists OF

intendent c. II. Lugg, Supt. Henry c.

the theme of the association. Econ

GERMAN SLANG ENRICHED.

interesting Expressions Come Into Use
at Front.
German slang Is being enriched by a
number of interesting expressions
which have come into use at the front.
The aviators, for instance, do not drop
bombs-they lay eggs" Soldiers no
longer talk of the aviator observer and
Of the pilot. The former is always
called Franz and the latter either Helm
rich or Emil. From the observers
name a verb has been formed, fran
zen" meaning to observe or p out.
From this the d~erivative "verfranzen"
has been formed. meaning to observe
falsely or poorly. Thus 'elne Sache
verfranZen'' signifies the rendering flu
tile Of a movement by poor observa-
ton.
The projectiles OF the artillery, both
of the German and hostile armies, bear
a number OF pet names The German
missiles are called gifts Iron gifts
or "old gentlemen" Hostile projec-
tiles are termed from their develop
ment of smoke, 'black sows'' or wool
ly bears" from the manne in which
they land, chained dogs" or "blind
skippers;'' from their noise, 'rowdy
Henry or trailer wagons" and those
that scatter their missiles effectively
rejoice in the name of ''sprinkling
cans"
