The following is letter received
by Mr.. Olson from the U. Of Chi
cage:
The University Of Chicago's 26th
annual scholarship competition, to
take place on Saturday, April IS,
is marked by radical change in
the nature Of the examination. In
stead of examinations on three out
Of a list Of eleven subjects, stu
dents will be examined in clear and
critical thinking, familiarity with
and appreciation Of effective lang
uage usage, and the ability to deal
with numbers and cumulative re-
lations. All these types of exer-
cises will be included in each stu
dents examination, although natur-
ally each contestant will not be
expected to be equally proficient
in all.
The examinations will be held
simultaneously in 16 cities through
out the Middlewest and Southwest.
Competing students will go to the
city among the following that is
nearest their homes: Phoenix, Arr
IONA; Moline, Indianapolis, Kansas
City, st. Louis, Omaha, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Tulsa, Pittsburgh and
Milwaukee. Chicago high school
seniors will take the examination
on the same day, and the winners
will be announced as soon as pos
cih1o a far avn In f;Av
Arrangements to enter the COM
petition must be made through the
students principals, and all who
intend to participate must have
their names sent to the Entrance
Counselor Of the University not lat
er than March Is.
The first competitive scholarship
examinations were held by the Uni
versity in 1913. In the 1888 exam
nations, more than 300 contestants
participated.
The great day Of the speech festi-
val Is over but not forgotten by the
participants. The festival was held
Saturday, February IS, at the Alex
andria high school. The schools
that took part in the festival be-
sides Sank Centre, were Alexandria,
Glenwood, Long Prairie, Parkers
Prairie, Willard, Osakis, Upsala,
Clarissa and Bertha.
The people that entered from
Sank Centre and the field that they
entered are as follows: Bernice

Ter, poetry, Ballad Of the Harp

recited favorite poems. They all
reported having a wonderful time.
In spite Of the cold weather Miss

prizes given at this festival but
each confession was critized and
told his bad points and how he
could improve his selection
In each room there was a critic
Judge who commented on the work
done by each participant. The stu
dents learned how they might i'm
prove and benefit from hearing
students from other schools. Be-
sides the fields in which the Sank
Centre students entered there were
extemporanous speaking, declama-
ton, and one-act plays. In another
year Miss Laughlin hopes that she
can create more interest In this
field and that more students will
enter the speech festival.
Besides those that took part In
the contest, there were others who
went along, and like the students
that took part learned much from
listening to the other students.
SPORTS
The Main Streeters have played
their last important game before
the sub-district clash and then It
remains to be seen whether they
can retain the District % title. They
had pretty fair season winning
ten and dropping nine Of their
games. Last Saturday the boys
journeyed up the line to Wadena
to drop a game by a 4 point mar
gin. Wadena Is supposed to be
plenty good up in that section and
I think the Main Streeters" sort
Of surprised them in that tilt.
Next Monday Toftness leads his
boys in defense Of their title in the
first clash Of the sub-district with
Grey Eagle on the Swanville maple.
If the main Streeters" survive
that they will get a crack at the
old enemy Of long standing, Mel
rose, on the following Thursday.
If after this encounter the odds are
still with us we play the winner
Of the Upsala-Swanville tilt.
Ah-h-h-h then comes the District
at Glenwood and everyone hoping
that Sank Centre can reclaim their
title.
SENIOR HIGH CLASSES
Although quite a few Of the pup
lis have missed some Of their stu
dies, due to the severe snow storms
the classes have kept right on with
