time. There are only three ways to teach litera-

The second is by class lectures-entertainin

by way Of exchanging information and opinions.
Study books YOU study people Mix among
them. You don't take notes people unless, per

that an old book TO new reader is news. OF

Let the student take up book that S new to him
and read it by himself afterward writing a report
Of it to be read to the class. When he comes to
write his report he must keep in the forefront of
his mind this one thing:
To tell the others accurately enough about that
book so that each one of them will know whether
or not he wants TO read it.
That is all the book reporter ever tries for. No
book is intended for everybody but almost every
book is, intended for somebody. The problem of
the book reporter is to find the reader

The ALWAYS JOLLY LADS in
their initial effort providing fun ga
lore for the patrons of the Strutters
Ball, set another highwater mark in
the realm of pleasure and sportdom
which will not be easily surpassed
even by organizations older than
their association. Stock Show strut
ters with their lassies gowned in va
riegated colors of the season We'd with
professionals in their conventional
evening garb for the winning of the
special reputation attached to this
unique entertainment gotten up by the
boys that have found place in the
hearts of the social set as worthy
representatives of the best that fun
and frolic can procure; and from the
large attendance, coupled with the
musical satisfaction given by the Nor
rison Jazz orchestra, pyoverbially IA
nous for its enhancing effect, the
consensus of opinion as heard by our
scribe was particularly commendable
followed by wish for a recurrence of
the event at date not long distant.
To the promoters. Messrs. Jones, AL
leyne and baltimore, the public owe a
debt of gratitude for furnishing such
healthy recreative entertainments
which serve as a relief from the bur
densome business role as well as a
panacea for solitariness and the driv-
ing away of dull care.
The Colorado Statesman wishes a
bright and successful future for this
new organization.
