During the past week Mr.. Don D..
Lcscohier,, Superintendent of the State
Employment Bureau Service, adj
dressed the student body on the war
and on the system of farm service
which is being organized in the
schools throughout the State. His in
structive address was followed with
deep interest by the corps of cadets.
A dramatic recital, given by Mr..
Charles F. Underhill, was pleasant
break in the weeks work. MIR. I'm
derhilrs coming is always looked for
ward to with pleasure. His Doctor
Marigold' was keCnly enjoyed by the
students.
College of ST. GATHERINGS: Last
Wednesday Mr.. Underhill gave an en-
PERTAINING recital of Shakespeare
Merry Wives of Windsor. > Mr.. I'm
derhilrs Interpretation of Falstaff
was appreciative and well executed.
The speaker explained that the Fal-
staff of this play was only a counter
felt Falstaff, or a caricature or
Shakespeare true conception of the
character as revealed in his historical
plays. This unreal Falstaff was prob
ably due to the command of Queen
Elizabeth to the playwright to show
''The Fat knight" in love.
Story telling is lost art, declared
Marie Shedlock of London, in lee
ture delivered last Monday afternoon
at the College. The only place where
it is still practiced is in Eastern In
dia There the professional story
teller stands on the street corner tell
ing stories all night long to one relay
of listeners after another. The basis
of good story telling is the art of con-
ccalment and simplicity. In antlthe-
sis to this art is that of the modern
elocutionist who neglects her message
in her efforts to display her mechan-
ical art chiefly by exaggerated ges-
lures.
Some of the rules to be observed in
telling stories to children, said Miss
Shedlock, are: use simple words, make
pictures, explain all difficulties, and
do not ask questions. Children have
vivid imaginations and questioning
will lead them astray.
