Student Bards Write
One Poem Each Week

Seattle.-To produce poets is the
purpose of course in the dramatic
art department of the University of
Washington. Glenn Hughes, assistant
professor in the department, teaches
the class for bards which has already
turned out book of verse to show
the world that poets are made as we'll
as born.
In Mr. Hughes class no attempt is
made at first to teach rhyme. He AYERS
that if the students begin on rhyme
their verse will be 'doggerel" or lack
ing in the element of poetry.
Free verse is welcomed as allowing
the students to concentrate on the i'm
ages they are creating rather than on
meter and rhyme. Each student sub
mits a poem every week.

him UP and rushed him to Kenosha
hospital where DR.. C. H. Gephart was
called to treat him.
1t was found that all of the fingers

EUGENlCs.

Ohio is considering a law making
it compulsory for couples contemplate
ing marriage to undergo physical ex-
animation by some physician other
than the family doctor.
For that matter, debate on the
eugenics question, in some form or
other, is chronic in nearly every state
in the country.
Much in the eugenic doctrine is
sound and little of it is clap-trap.
Admitting that eugenics is a means
toward improving the human race,
there are those who hold that it is
a doctrine of fatalism and that it de-
prives life of the stimulus toward eff

checks made to Meyers.
When it was found that the check
was not genuine, the police started
an investigation with a result that the
young man was arrested by Policemen
Buchanan, Long and Melbusch. A
questioning of the man followed with

that he was "the black sheep" of a
prominent family UP north,
my father was once a member of
the state legislature, he said. cal
so my brother is now cashier of the
Northern National bank at Ashland"
He claimed in this story that his
name was Kemp Bigelow. The police
here have wired Ashland regarding
him and are awaiting an answer be-
fore continuing further with the
charge against him.

no more than nuisance, and that
there would be no need of a school

to have the bricks ready when sewer
