TALKS ON LANGUAGES

The address given by Prof.
Geo. H. Ellingson of the st. Olaf
College, Mortified, before the
parent-teachers meeting Friday
evening on the origin of all Ian
guages and the development of
the English language was an in
teresting and instructive one.
However, in order to cover the
subject more thoroughly it would
require a continued lecture of
several evenings duration and
Mr.. Ellingson was therefore ne
cessarily obliged to cover only
the principal points in his hours
talk.
Some of the points covered
were the conquering of England
by the Anglo-Saxons in 40 B. c.,
when the original settlers went
to Scotland and Ireland. From
that time on English developed
and was influenced by the VII
kings in the ninth and tenth CEN
turtles. Later the Normands, a
group of Norwegians who had
settled in France and hence ac-
.quired much of the French Ian
guage. came to England. This
accounts for many French words
in the English language. Many
of the ordinary words in common
usage in the English language
originate from Scandinavia.
A short musical program was
also given Friday evening.

The lyceum course entertain
ment given last evening by Eye

last entertainment of the season,
was a fitting climax. Songs and
costumes depicting various per-
iods in history were carried out,
showing the Puritan, Colonial,
Spirit of 1776, Abolitionist and
Modern periods. The singing
was excellent. piano playing ar
tistic and in short it was a real
good program. A large atten-
tive crowd was present.

Thursday evening the Pine

ing game.
The loca! team had gone
through a hard battle just two
nights before with Sandstone
and were therefore tired and not
in good condition or they would
undoubtedly have made better
showing.
At the end of the first quarter
the score stood six to six and it
looked like a tight game but
after that the Pine City boys
gained gradually.
II was a nice. clean. good
natured game from start to
finish and there was a big attend
ance to cheer the players on to
victory.
There will most likely be one
more game in Askov this season
with Hinckley-the date of
which will be announced later.
