Mid-term examinations Will be con
Quoted and registrations made dur
ing the examinations, so that the
men will lose no time in getting un-
der way for the final six-Weeks
semester which will end August 20
Much ground has been covered in
the past six weeks, the plan OF study
being intensive. The students OF
the summer school do the work re-
quired in the regular college semes-
ter in half the time, the usual num-
Der of credit hours being given for
those who pass in their subjects.
Many of the courses carry but thirty
hours credit, and will close with the
first term. New courses will be
given in place of these, several Of
the new courses being those that
were given during the first term at
the summer session in Boston. 1t
is expected that the instructors who
have been teaching in the summer
session in Boston will come to Ellis
worth to give the courses here.
Prof. Leo d. O'Neil, who was for
merly connected with the Havana
branch of the University, will have
charge of the foreign trade courses
at the CollegeofBusinessA
ton in Boston next year Prof
O'Neil taught foreign trade courses
at the Havana branch, and is we'll
versed in teaching these courses
Many of the students who are spe-
cializng in foreign trade will finish
their training under Prof. O'Neil.

vacation which was given the stu
dents of the summer school, many
of the boys spent their Fourth or
July at home, while a greater num-
Der went to various summer resorts
to spend the week END. Many OF the
students who remained in Ellsworth
took an active part in the athletic
events which were conducted under
the supervision of Charles h. Lee

Through the courtesy of H. B. Es-
tey, the summer school ball team APP
peared on the field last Saturday
with uniforms spick and span. Mr.
Estey who owns the local laundry,
would not accept a cent for his SER
vices The appearance of the team
great deal of comment from the B.
U. students upon the cleanliness of
the suits which the team were wear
ing, and when told that Mr.. Estey
had the suits cleaned at his own eX-
pense, the students evinced their APP
probation by many complimentary
remarks.-Anderson.
Already some of our young men
have proved themselves orators.
Some are fit to be classified as sill
yer tongued, tongue-tied, and other
wise, but a certain soap-box orator
who has aspired to political stump
ing, covered himself and his team
mates with glory a few days ago,
when, in rebutting for the negative
in a debate, he began as follows:
I'VE have listened to the statements
made by the NEGATIVE, but what
have they told us? What have they
told us that amounted to anything?
Not thing they have given us is
worthy of a moments consideration
of the judges. Therefore, gentle
men, | urge you, before turning over
the rebuttal to my colleagues, to alb
solutely disregard everything this
side has said. ''-Wingate.
One of the most interesting sights
of the summer school is the arrival
of the mail, which is distributed
twice a day. AS soon as the mail
orderly is seen crossing the bridge
from the postoffice, all the men show
great activity. 1t reminds one of
the days in France when the mail ar
rived at the front. One does not
have to be keen student of human
nature to observe the expression of
disappointment registered on the
faces of the students who receive no
mail Yes, this is the life, and the
boys soon start off with smile and
that spirit born on the battlefields of
France expressed by the though,

morrow. '-McGinnis.

the "horribles" parade through the
main streets of Ellsworth yesterday.
Through the efforts of Prof. Bellatty,
the students were supplied with
varied-colored masks and bonnets.
1t was hard to pick out the various
boys in the parade, as the masks at
forded a complete camouflage.
