THE NEWS
BCLLETIN

The fall term of the University
has closed and the winter term Is
now well under way. There Is very
little break in the work Of the two
terms, that OF the winter term being
largely a continuation OF the work
of the fall term. However. a few
new courses are offered, making 1t
possible for new students to secure
a satisfactory schedule.
The first convocatiOn OF the new
term was one Of immense worth and
interest. The speaker was Mr.. w.
w. Grant of Denver, and his message
was one of decided interest and in
spiration. The assemblies are among
those features of the University that
contribute not only interest but ele-
m"ntS of culture and contact with
world ideals. 1t is planned to have
a number Of well known speakers
during the winter term.
Debating. as a student activity,
generally suffers somewhat because
Of the more universal interest in
social affairs aud athletic events.
However. there Is generally a nucleus
Of Interested students who carry on
and keep the argumentatiye spirit
active. This ear, debating at the
University is attracting considerably
mu:c interest than in the past years.
Both the mems and women's teams
have been selected and work has be
II in full earnest. The question
for this years debate is, Resolved,

bates have been arranged with the

tons are under way for a debate with

Dean G. r. Maxwell. of the Col
lege of Education. has just returned
from an extended educational sur
vey of the state. The trip was made
in company with State Commissioner
Tidball and State Director Coxen and
an intensive survey was made of the
rural schools in one of the larger
counties. Many astonishing facts
concerning the backwardness and in
brought to light. In many sections
of the state. schools of the tyne COM
mon before tha Civil War are still
tolerated. The surprising thing is
that these schools are SO often found
in prosperous communities. The
College of Education is working with

Another characteristic Of Mellon
that We like u his advocacy OF econ

is probably also . result of habit, for
few men become rich unless they
practice economy. One Of the first
recommendations made by the new
Secretary of the Treasury was in
favor OF a rigid cutting of national
expenditures as a prerequisite to the
reduction Of Federal taxes. Probably
the most difficult task Of government
is to keep down expenses. for there is
constant demand for funds from the
public treasury.
1t is generally understood that Mr..
