IS COLLEGE HUM0R
LOSING QUALITY

On the editorial page of "The Dear
born Independent" for February IS,
1922 may be found an editorial on
"The Decline of College Humor". 1t
runs as follows:
If it is true that students of North
western University have protested
against the quality Of humor served
up in college publications, they have
started something which should go
the round of the universities. A re-
cent survey of publications from COL
| leges in all parts of the country-a
survey made for other than editorial
purposes-disclosed most surpris-
| ing paucity of clean humor and a
dirty deluge of the most disgusting
form of acute primary moral demen-
tia precox. The spirit of college fun
seems utterly to have departed, and
the dregs set up in it's place. Clever
ness in writing around every type OF
salacous and suggeotive vulgarity
has taken the place Of the wild ex-
uberance of imagination, the perfect
ly irresponsible riot Of wholesome
sportiveness which marked college
journalism in it's prime.
1t is a rather humiliating discovery
to make. Many people who imagine
that they know what the ruling spir-
it's of the campus are thinking about,
would do well to gather up dozen
of the student publications of the
best universities and colleges, and
hold a clinic on them. Thoughtful
people are justly perturbed by the
disappearance Of sympathy and un-
derstanding between the social groups
now bearing the burden Of the world,
but if the college student publications
are to be taken as an indication, the
rift between the campus and society
is one calling for more particular at
tention.
Making all allowance for the rick
ETY. mental supports Of youth, and for
the traditional devil-take-it attitude
of very young collegians, there is in
some of our college publications a
lack of breeding, yes, Of yokel whole
someness, yes, of a polite libertine's
regard for decent appearances, which
would rouse the protest of parents
if those publications ever reached the
students homes. and should have
brought the action of college authori
ties long ago.
This goes for some high school pub
LEGATIONS, too.

TEACHING NATURE
THRU EXCURSIONS
By Emma &. DashleV

Come, let us live with our chill.
dren," said F'roebel. | know of nc
better way to do this than by taking
them into the realms of Nature.
Children's lives are very near tC
Nature herself. Happy excursions in
to the woods and fields make chill
d"ca more receptive to Natures in
ciurnce, but their eyes need to be OPP
2ncd. Therefore, if mothers will try
to interpret the life of the flower
tree, bird, and other wonders, in a
simple way it will inspire the child
to make new discoveries as he goes
along. Then as he comes into SYM
pathy with the things about him, he
will feel the unity of life.
Excursions into nature are consld~
cred an important part Of the Kin
dcrgarten program, and it may in
terest mothers to know how we make
these excursions and what we do.
We begin our walks early in the
fall. We notice all the flowers of
this season, the asters, goden-rod
and gentian. We gather the autumn
leaves and press them, then mount
them in artistic arrangement.
A little later we go to the fields for
the purpose Of gathering material for
stringing, such as joint rose
hips, acorns, thorn apples and berries.
These can be used in many attractive
combinations which delight the chill
dren. At this time we also notice
that Nature is preparing for her long
winters rest. The flowers have ceas-
ed blooming and have brought forth
seeds. We call the child's attention
to the protection of these seeds which
mean new life, and we tell how they
are carried by the wind, insects, ami
mails, or man and are planted to re-
produce the species.
About this time the caterpillar is
crawling around, looking for place
to build a cocoon. In the Kindergar-
ten we try to have some caterpillars
in order that the children may watch
the transition of the caterpillars into
butterflies.
We have talked of the birds leaving
for the south and we have noticed the
empty nests. We have observed the
squirrels gathering their winter stores.
We have seen the farmer busy with
his harvest. Now, we call attention
to the fact that all Nature, having
foreseen the coming Of winter, and
having prepared for the cold, seems
to rest.
While the children take great pleas
ure in the fall excursions, the spring
has new beauties in which they de-
light. All the world is awake, all life
is unfolding.
In the freshness and beauty OF the
springtime, is found new charm, a
new source of enjoyment. The birds
are singing, and the flowers don their

NOTICE OF SPECIAL STOCK

You are hereby notified that there
will be a special meeting of the stock

brightest colors. Do you wonder chill
dren love to be part Of this, as they
roam through the meadows and woods
gathering flowers and learning Ma.
lures lessons?
In the spring we begin more de.
cided study of the birds. The chill
dren learn the marking and names of
many of the birds found in our vicin-
ity, from charts which we have in the
Kindergarten. They also learn the
calls Of few of the birds. Then on
our first spring excursion their eyes
are wide open to see how many birds
| they can recognize. If they go out
into the country later with their par
ents they are able to use the know
ledge gained and come back to the
kindergarten telling of the new birds
they have seen.
We gather wild flowers in the early
spring, and the children learn their
names. Then we play games bringing
in the names and characteristics Of
these flowers, from which the children
derive great pleasure, as we'll as the
beneficial effects of the drill.
On our excursions we also take the
children to the fish ponds that they
may see the life there, the goldfish,
the frogs, and the water flowers. We
gather eggs of the frog or toad and
bring them to the Kindergarten to
watch their development. The toad's
eggs develop very rapidly, and the
children are wonderfully interested in
them. The interest spreads beyond
the kindergarten into the grades, and
many of the older children come in
every few days to see what change
has taken place. We gather enough
eggs so that each child may take home
two or three tadpoles to watch the
further development there. They need
little care, only a few cracker crumbs
each day, and change of water once
a week This helps to awaken in the
child the thought and feeling of nur-
ture.
Aside from the actual knowledge
gained on these excursions, the chill
dren become observing and interested
in nature. They have learned their
first lessons in biology, and will not |
soon forget them.

JAMESTOWN LEAGUE
CLUB DOUBTFUL

There seems to be some doubt as tt
whether Jamestown is going to be
able to enter club in the Dakots
League this season or not. Charles
Boardman was in Jamestown on Fri.
| day night to talk the matter over with
the management of the club there and
see if they were coming in alright
and he reports that there seems ia
be difference Of opinion there as
to the advisability of putting club
in the field. The management of
the organization feels that they will
get. club going alright but some
of the other citizens there seem to
be knocking the proposition on the
grounds that it will be more costly
to the public than has been stated,
some of them contending that the
cost of operating the club for the
season would amount to over $50 900.
This is ridiculous on the face of it as
the salary limit is fixed at $4,000 per
month and the mileage for the season
is set in advance. That amount could
not be spent by any club that lived
up to the rules of the league and our
neighbors should have nothing to fear
on that score. However, they are to
hold a mass meeting there tonight
and decide whether Jamestown is as
live city as Valley City or not, and
have promised to advise the local
management the outcome of the meet
ing. We are sincerely hoping that.
they will get team in the field as
their dropping out of the league will
mean that Valley City will also be
dropped, and we want a chance to
show jamestown what a real base
ball town is like.

a place for it, both indoors and out

One mother whom it is my priv
lege to know, following the modern
custom of opening windows at night
has several little beds in a row in one
room,-the smaller one, larger one
being reserved for the necessary bu-
reaus, play space and playthings.
In another home the dining room is
the play place, and the very fact that
it must be put in order before meal
times is giving one group of little
folks invaluable lessons in neatness,
order, consideration and helpfulness.
But the ideal play place is the at
tic, and there often is one of some
sort. Such space kept reasonably
clean, and having it's windows pro-
tected, would solve many a house.

tic is cold is in it's favor rather than
otherwise. Indeed while the children
are playing there the upper sash Of
the windows should be kept open.

Wise parents would see to it that
such an attic contained an old mat

with such toys as the children choose
to take with them.
