of the man of the street.
A series of questions was propound-
ed to the class. One was the naming
Of the capitals Of four states, califor-
MIA, Illinois. New York and Texas. A
good man answered that New York
was the capital Of New York, Chicago
the capital of Illinois and numerous
and various were the ecapitals" of
Texas Some even called San Francis
co the capital Of California.
For the ten largest states in the
union, in point Of area. few got By
second place. Most of the students
ramed Texas for the largest, but

states were put In second position by
