PREPARATION BEING
MADE AT SCHOOL FARM
FOR MATCHING CHICKS
Pupils Showing Keen Interest
in Both Practical and Glass
Room Studies

At the Bemidji school farm prep
arations are being made to care for
large Matching of chicks which is
due on Thursday. Four Cyphers in
cubators are being operated in the
incubator cellar which is so arranged
as to insure proper heat and ventil-
alton. Two of the 1ncubators have a
400-egg capacity and the other two
have a capacity of ESQ each, making
a total of 1900 eggs which are being
taken care Of there at one time. This
will be the second Matching this
spring and from all present appear
ances should be large one. Three
of these incubators are due to become
"mothers" of large bunch OF baby
chicks about Thursday of this week.
In addition to the hens eggs
which are under incubation, there are
approximately so goose eggs in four
settings being mothered by two
geese and two hens. More goose eggs
will be put in incubation later, &C.
cording to the plans of Harry j. Olin,
Agricultural instructor in the Be-
midi public schools under whose SUI
pervision the chicken Matching is be-
ing conducted.
The present poultry flock on the
farm consists of over 100 single
comb White Leghorns, about 80 Ply
mouth Rocks, nine geese and about
60 baby chicks which were kept for
the farm from the first hatch of the
year.
Through the instruction given by
MIR. Olin to the students of agricul-
ture, they are becoming to know the
essential points of successful poultry
Matching and raising. Practical ex-
perience as we'll as class room work
is accomplishing this result. Stu
dents are taking great interest in the
work and many have eggs under in
cubation which they are caring for
themselves.

ROOMS NEEDED FOR. ~'
SUMMER SCHOOL PUPILS

A year ago at this time q special
canvas of the city was made to Sc
cure suitable Accommodations for Nor
NAL school students. Considerable
difficulty was experienced in obtain
ing sufficient rooms for all the stu
dents throughout the summer.
The summer term will soon be
opened again and it is expected that
q much larger number Of students
will be in attendance this summer
than attended last summers session.
The new dormitory will take care Of
about fifty students as far as rooms
are concerned fand about ninety
boarders. In as much as there will be
about one hundred and fifty or sixty
students at least, it will be seen that
there will be as many or more need
ing private Accommodations as there
was last year.
NJ. w. Deputy, president Of the
school, has issued a notice in this con-
neetion which is as follows:
A larger enrolment than last year
is expected for the summer term at
the State Normal school. Already
many requests for rooms in private
families are on file. Those desiring
to let rooms to students during the
summer beginning June 18th, should
notify the Normal school office by let
ter or telephone 249.

Democratic Filibuster Against
Peace Resolution, Will
Be Called OF
PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
FOR KNOX MAY START
Presidential Issue Liable to
Hinge on Treaty Issue
in Fall Election
(By United Press.)

Washington, May 4.-There is no
doubt, at all that President Wilson
will veto Knox peace resolution, it
was fatty stated in authoritative
quarters here today. Administration
senators understand that the presi-
dent will veto it and veto it quick.
Under these circumstances some FORE
cast the presidential campaign will
be on the straight out issue Of the
treaty Of Versailles versus the Knox
resolution. Democratic leader Under
wood let it be known that all plans
for a democratic filibuster against
the Knox resolution have bean ,ealled
off on advice from the whitas house.
In view of this new attitude adoption
of Knox resolution seemed likely
when it comes up in the senate to-
morrow.
President Wilson is ready to in
veto the measure and take
the opportunity of presenting the
issue to the country, the treaty
against Knox resolution. This
started considerable specu-
lation as to its effect on the Knox
boom for the republican presidential
With his peace resolu-
ton as chief issue in the campaign,
Knox himself would be the logical
man to head the ticket, friends be-

BURN0UlST ENDORSES
NTRCHURCH WORLD
MOVEMENT STRONGLY
Says Church Is the Great
Bulwark of Nation
and Humanity

Minneapolis, May A. Returning
from the east in the middle of the
interchurch world movement cam
paign, Governor Burnquist of Min
nesota today issued a statement of
his endorsement Of the movement
for request for support of it. The
governor says: 1.-THE interchurch
world movement has my most hearty
endorsement. The church is the
great institution of the world and is
working for the development of the
morality, integrity and unseltish in
stincts Of humanity. There is moth
ing that a nation so much needs to
insure its stability and real progress
as that which the church can and
does teach.
The church, however, cannot do
its best work until there is greater
cooperation among the various de-
nominations and unless its members
give it strong financial support. The
interchurch world movement is,
therefore, as timely as it is important
and it ought to succeed"

HOME STUDY

One Of the many reasons why
we need more room in our
schools:
Our sewing class has enrolled
tWenty-seven students. Under
ideal circumstances each stu
dent should have not less than
thirty-ope square feet in which
to perform their work. Under
the present conditions there
are eighteen square feet al
lowed each student. The stu
dents taking this work make a
complete. set of under gar
ments, two wash dresses, one
MILDLY blouse and one skirt.
They are taught the methods Of
cleaning and taking care Of
their clothes. This work is
seriously handicapped by the
close quarters they are COM
PEELED to work in. They have
no way of exhibiting their
work, unless same is taken from
the department in which they
work.
In the cooking department,
which is under the same in
structor as the sewing class, the
classes are taught the principal
essentials of food, the proper
methods of preparing and serv-
ingc food, canning, invalid cook
cry, household management
and the general management of
a home. In this department
there should be a dining room
we'll furnished, model kitchen
and wei. equipped sewing room.
The cooking room or kitchen of
the public school, should be the
model kitchen of this city.

argument" by stating that the ques-
ton should and could only be ar
gued from a legal standpoint and
not from a political one. He waded
into the life of Henry Ford, whom
Newberry defeated, and showed his
unpatriotism during the war and al
so discussed the statute laws of
Michigan, and their relation to the
case, the state in which the fraud
and trial took place. Freshman
Buchanan's argument, although ex-
temporaneously given, was well
brought out, he dwelling almost ex-
clusively on the argument as brought
out by his colleague.
The negative side Of the question
was upheld by Mr.. C. Fl. Williams
and Mr.. J. E. Mccall. Mr.. Williams
began his "oratorical argument" by
stating that the world was too full
of honest and patriotic men for a
crook and corrupt politician to sit
among such an august body as the
United States Senate. He also stat
ed that Newberry violated both cleo
ton and state laws and that he
bou Cit his seat in the Senate for a
handsome sum. Mr.. Mccall although
tired cut by his days work and
overcome by the argument of his
opponents made very short but
convincing talk following closely the
points rendered by Mr.. Williams.
After a three minutes rejoinder by
Mr.. HARRISON the judges rendered
their decision unanimously in favor
of the affirmative.
Orations were given by Carl Ha-
thorne and F. B. jackson. Mr.. Ha-
thorn spoke well using several sub
jects and ending up on the League
of Nations. Mr.. Jackson chose as
his subject: "Has Mississippi
Grasped Her Opportunities" and he
showed in a we'll thought out speech
that she had and how she had done
so beginning with the earliest his
tory of the Magnolia State.

related to other great men than would
be expected if greatness depended
merely on chance environment. Abil-
|ity runs in families and is therefore
inherited. IS
Who will be the fathers and moth
ers Of future generations? The
prospects Of the country are bright
If. the ADLER men and women are
rearing families large enough to in
crease, or even replace, their num-
bers. Quite the reverse seems to
be the case. The birth rate Of the
foreign-born women in Massachu-
sets, for instance, is seventy five
per cent greater than that Of the
native-born. Of course some OF
these foreign parents may have ex-
cellent .potentialities, but we know
the value Of the old New England
stock, and can hardly view with
complacency it's replacement by un-
tried human material.
Furthermore, the colleges and uni
versities in the country are unc6n-
sciously depressing the birth rate
among their alumni. It is safe to
assume that these alumni are, on
the average, mentally superior to
the population as whole, for they
have been able to master courses of
study in which many of their less
intelligent associates have failed
through lack of ability. Since abil-
ity is inherited, it augurs i'll for the
future that college men and women
are not assuming the duties of par
enthood as they should.
Statistics show that if a girl goes
to college she decreases her chance
of marrying by about one-half.
| Among four classes of young women
graduates of Wellesley College there
was an average of only 81 of one
child per graduate in eight to II
years after graduation. Mount Hol-
yoke's record for women graduating
from 1890 to 1892 is .95 of a child
per graduate. Of the 376 alumni
of Bryn Mawr College graduating
from 1888 to 1900, there was only
81 of child per graduate in 1913.
The average number of children
per Harvard graduate from 1870 to
1879 was 1872. Similar conditions
have been discovered in many other
colleges. Statistics also show that
the average alumnus' family is
steadily decreasing. These data are
certainly alarming when one con-

CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION
IN CLEVELAND

Professors A. L. Bondurant and
A. w. Milden represented the Uni
vesity of Mississippi at the sixteen
tn annual meeting of the Classical
Association of the Middle West and
South in Cleveland on April 1, g
and 8. Both are agreed that for in
terest, variety, features of enter
tainment, hospitality, and good fel-
lowship, it would be hard to find its
equal in any preceding meeting
The Mostellaria, or Haunted House
of Plautus would have appealed to
all lovers of the drama. 1t was the
work of Oberlin College students,
even the translation for the presen-
tation being the product Of recent
Oberlin alumnus. The Bacchae OF
Euripidies in Gilbert Murray's cul-
tured version was interpreted in
brilliant fashion by an English art
list, Miss Dorothea Spinney, of STRAIT
ford-on-Avon. The large audience
responded enthusiastically to her eff
fort. Of all the plays of Euripides,
it may be added, this has puzzled
the largest number of students, and
still battles. Twenty-Five Of the
twenty-three on the program read
papers that bore the marks of true
scholarship. The presidents address
on Quintilian would have held the
close attention of the Missiissippi's
Teachers Association, or any similar
body. Particularly pleasing was his
peroration on the ideal teacher. This
account would do an injustice to our
own State if it failed to record the
pleasing response to the address of
welcome given by President Thwing
of Western Reserve University Civ,
en- in behalf of the Association by
Professor Bondurant, and likewise
the illustrated address on the an
cient town Of Vertillum, which had
its rejuvenation during the World
War. Professor Bondurant was al
SO active as a member of the execu-
tive committee, and Professor Mil
den was busy as member of the
committee on nominations. The South
was honored by the selection of
Professor R. B. Steele of Wander,
bilt University as president of the
Association for the coming year.
The next meeting will be held at
st. Louis in the spring Of 1921.
