BOARD OF CONTROL OFFERS P R E FOR A Committee to Draw Contest Rules, Was Appointed at Last Meeting of Board. FORUM NEXT TUESDAY Notice of Student Representative Election, and of Editor and Business Manager to be Posted Soon. -W. S. N. S.- Whether a blonde or a brunette beard grows the faster and whether the use of hair tonics is ethical, are questions confronted by the male part of the Sophomore class at the University of Washington these days in the 31-day beard-growing contest which began November 20, patterned after a similar contest which is an annual affair at the University of California. I t is estimated that beards about one and a half inches long can be grown in a month, but the Sophomores who age about eighteen-nineteen- twenty may have to specialize in the military mustache or the slim Vandyke. University district merchants are offering prizes for the longest, stiff est, handsomest, reddest, etc. etc., beards grown in this period. And the whole campus is considerably interested in the prospect of looking like a page from the old iamily album. But the Co-ed stoops to conquer. Moire subtely, the women are trying to see who can grow the most hair on the back of their jiecks. -W. S. N. S.- University educators meeting a lew days in St. Louis were reported t o have reached the conclusion that "a deplorable crop of misfits" confronts the educational world as its greatest problem. Spokesmen for the five great universities represented in the conference said it is their greatest concern to know "whom and how long to educate". Mass education as followed in educational systems of this country are to blame for the dilemma, they said. Teachers engaged in instructing pupils of every grade know the t r u t h of the university leaders' statements. They have made no new discovery' They merely gave emphasis to a problem long recognized and discussed wherever educational leaders are fraternalized. W. S. N. S. Nearly four millions dollars are annually lent by 218 colleges and universities to students of character and ability in order to enable them to finish their college education. Walter J. Greenleaf, of the Bureau of Education, found many important things in a study of student loan funds recently completed. "We are living in what appears to be the 'installment age' where people make large purchases by paying so much down, and so much per month. Higher education is no exception to the rule and as an investment, yields a high rate of interest with the passing years," he says. His study shows that in a few cases no interest whatever is charged, while 6 per cent is the rule, yet some charge as high as 8 per cent. Individual loans average $100 to $150, but many exceed these. Repaying invariably begins at a stated period after graduation. ——-W. S. N. S. A. S. P. C. officers ordered their. Frosh to "obey traditions" at the Thanksgiving game of the College of Puget Sound, Tacoma. The Frosh at the last minute of an actual rebellion acquiesced and wore their green caps to and at the game, ••.../••'.. \ This is "Hello Week," traditional Sit the University of Washington.

The 'New-School-Song Commit-: tee' was appointed by the Board of Control at its regular meeting last Monday afternoon. Catherine Morse, Guy Springsteel, and Mr. Ruckmick were chosen by the Board of Control and two others will be included by this group to make- the rules for this school-wide contest which will probably begin next week and end before the first of the Winter quarter. A Well-Worth Prize Twenty-five dollars is sure to be the amount presented to the composer. Announcement of. contest rules will be printed in the Viking next week. In a school this size, it is thought surely a number of songs of" original composition or transposition will be submitted by students i n the Music department or by others interested. Election and Notices Election petitions will be posted sometime this week, announced Roy Arnett, Secretary of the Board, for a representative to take the place of Guy Springsteel who has served out the four-quarter term of Madeline Bosshardt, now a graduate. And notices of application for Editor and Business manager of the Northwest Viking for the coming Winter quarter will also be posted. The Editor and Business manager are required to be resident students here for at least two quarters, to have a good journalistic standing, and to have recommendation of the faculty advisor. Each receive ten dollars for each current issue of the Viking. Forum Next Tuesday That inter-school debate, letter awards, and apportionment of funds be discussed in an all-school forum next Tuesday, December 11, was also emphasized by the Board. Sam Ford, Co-op manager, announced yesterday that he has just ordered several black and orange basketball suits for the Co-op team, a unit of the intra-mural series. CALENDAR FRIDAY—December 7.

Capacity Crowd Witnesses Normal Drama Production Story of Characteristic Carolina Mountain People Cleverly Portrayed by Normal Cast. Claire Wilson Shows Unusual Ability in Character Portrayal. Tomorrow night in the drawing room of Edens Hall, the "dorm" girls will hold their quarterly in* formal, which promises to be one of the most successful ever held. The 'wintertime' idea will be carried out in the decorations and the programs, under the direction of Virginia Schmidt, social chairman, and her committee consisting of Delores Young, Dorothy Gibson, Alice Sundquist and Louise Dunn. Geraldine McKee and her committee: Jane L'Eveque, and Helen Stine, will have charge of the program. The refreshments committee is: Margaret Hill, chairman, Ann Fillinger, Irene De Vries, and Irene Young. Elizabeth Gable has charge of the music. Ruth Steele is social chairman. Former Student Now Edits Filipino Forum Victorio Velasco, former Philippine student at Normal, is now editor of the "Filipino Forum" which is a six page mimeographed newspaper issued twice a month. Velasco, when attending here, besides writing a weekly column in the school paper, was the founder of the "Scribes Club," and the first editor of the "Red Arrow." Sharpen Your Razors, Girls,1 Boys Plan Razorless Days and Weeks! I n informal group discussions in the office of the Northwest Viking, Wednesday noon, a contest was proposed by the Associate Editor of this paper. The following is the gist of the plan: first: that certain men in this school permit their beards to grow for a period of two weeks, the men in question being Gordon Leen, Vernon Vine, Ben Hamilton and Joe Hermsen. At the completion of this contest the beards were to be measured, and the one with the longest was to have one of the school's most popular girls to shave it off on the landing in the main hallway. The girls in question, and we'll not have time to mention all of them, are Catherine Morse, Jeari Marquis, and Mary Elizabeth Fowler. Everything was fine and dandy until Catherine Morse balked at the idea of shaving a man. When she backed down, so did the others, as they began to realize the penalties for manslaughter and that there might be • difficulty with the Barbers' Union. Then some bright genius broached the idea of having a faculty beard-growing contest. This immediately gained favor. Jean Marquis said that she would use her influence on the dean of men. We wonder just how much influence Jean has. But our. next big problem was to find someone to induce the other prospects, Mr. Beyer- Mr. Fowler, M^ Kibbe, to enter this precarious contest. There were several things that entered into this informal procedure that caused some questions to be raised. For instance, could Mr. Fowler and Mr. Kibbe raise the beards t h a t . woukk compare with those of Mr. Bever and Mr. Ruckmick? Then it was decided that there would have to be two divisions in the contest and prizes a-warded accordingly. At about the time the discussion was getting under full swing and plans were being made for launching the contest, the one o'clock class bell rang and interrupted tbe conversation, but you have not heard it all yet. There may be more about this shaveless talk than appears on the surface. — o George Allez Writes George Allez, who was a former president of the Associated Student Body of Normal and a graduate of 1927, is attending the Library School at Columbia University. In a letter to Mr. Herbert E. Fowler, he said, "I am thoroughly sold on the value of library training for all students and want to teach students how to use the library." Mr. Allez spoke of meetings with Mr. E. A. Bond and Mr. Edward Arntzen, both of wliom aire on a leave of absence from the Normal, and Mr. ElwbodDavis, former fopt-. Last night' the Normal Drama Club presented their quarterly play, "SunrUp," by Lulu Vollmer, directed by Victor H. Hoppe, with the auditorium packed to its capacity. The drama took place in the backwoods, mountainous region of North Carolina. The first scene opened in late September, 1917, just after the United States had drafted men into the army. The third act was in mid-winter at midnight in a terrific snowstorm. A complete new stage set, produced Widow Cagle's cabin in yellow pine logs of the hills. Rustic and quaint furnishings added much to the scenic illusion and gave a perfect background for the action. Perhaps the most difficult of technical stage problems was the creation of a terrific snow storm with limited apparatus. However, this and the sunset and sunrise effects were well executed. The fine lighting effects of fire place glow, flickering lantern lights, howling wind and snow and finally the cheerful dawn made the play extremely pictorial and vivid. Character Development Stressed "Sun-Up" is pre-eminently a foslyn Postpones Lecture on Dec. 13 Owing to the fact that the date of the Drama Club play conflicts, the fourth lecture by June J. Joslyn which was scheduled for last evening has been postponed and will be combined with her last lecture on December 13, ^at '7:30 o'clock in room 119. Miss Jones will speak on the "Problems of Children" and "The Delinquent." Some of the problems will be taken up by using actual cases of students. Problems involving relationship.between the parent and child, teacher and child and their effect upon the child. In her discussion of "The Delinquent" she will tell how to help a child who commits anti-social acts. The child probably needs to be understood rather than punished. This talk will point out some of the more common motives for delinquency in children and suggestions for meeting them. E Robert Louis Barron, Violinist of College of Pacific Musical Conservatory Gives Recital. Robert Louis Barron, newly appointed director of the violin in the College of Pacific Musical Conservatory of Stockton, California, "appeared in a recital last Tuesday morning in the regular assembly. Although Mr. Barron came recommended rather highly by certain press quotations, his Normal audience was perhaps a little disappointed at his performance. However it was obvious in his more simple selections, that he put a great deal of himself into his playing. Naivete Noticeable A most interesting personality is Mr. Barron's. He caused considerable . comment by his excessive naivete which both amused and puzzled his hearers. However his stage presence was very pleasing and his audience forced him to respond to one encore. Mr. Barron showed to his best advantage in the latter part of his program which consisted .of the less classical though more widely appealing numbers. Much credit is due to the finished, accompanying of Miss Edith R. Strange,, of the Normal department of music. To her very sympathetic accompaniments, Mr. Barron's playingwas brought out to the best of -advantage..^;: •'.:%:':- „lr:[ ";;^v-;;;;. ;^';; "w:-'Y.; .'•••;•; character play centered around Widow Cagle as chief.' representative of thta rapidly passing community life in which the extreme feud spirit dominates all action. While a serious play, it has bits of humor scattered throughout. Widow Cagle's pointed humor escaped no one, including Sheriff Jim Weeks and Pap Todd. - "Sun-Up"s an accurate reproduction of the life of the Carolina mountaineer and illustrates the fast passing clannish ignorance, on the part of these hill-billy people. The entire play is in the backwoods dialect which makes it seem very natural and adds much to the effectiveness of the local color. As the play opens Rufe Cagle and Sheriff Jim Weeks are rivals for the hand of Emmy Todd. Emmy plays the part of a coquette well in playing one man against the other and keeping them both in suspense until the final moment when she consents to marry Rufe just before he goes to war. Dense ignorance is portrayed by them. They are "Agin" everything, (Continued on.Page Two) New Campus Editor Given Appointment Because of the resignation of Catherine Morse, Campus Life editor of the Klipsun, a vacancy occurred which was filled by the appointment of Irene Larson to the position by Naomi Chase, Klipsun editor. The Klipsun staff members are: Naomi Chase,, editor; Glen Fairbanks, business manager; Margaret Morrison and Bernice Gnagey, assistant editors; Raymond Greene, editor of the Arts; Lenore. Handra-han, Art editor; Ben Hamilton, Men's sport editor; Evelyn Craw, Women's sports editor; Alice Oakley, Sophomore representative, and Dorothy Sasse, Freshman representative. A meeting of the staff was held Wednesday evening, November 28, for the purpose of planning the 'dummy' at the home of Margaret Morrison. 341 So. Forest St. Spokane Chronicle Sponsors NeW-Sorig Contest for Northwest Dr. C. H. Fisher has received" a notice of a Pacific Northwest Song Writing Contest which is now being conducted by the Spokane Daily Chronicle and Spokane alumnae chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, collegiate women's journalism society. This contest is open to all residents of Oregon, Montana, Idaho, British Columbia and Washington. The Chronicle will award up to $125.00 in cash: prizes for four Pacific Northwest song-lyrics (the musical scores are not desired and will not be considered.) The contest is now under way and will close January 2, 1929. PROF. CHALLENGES; STUDENTS ACCEPT Professor Feels That Students Get More From Voluntary Than From Required Reading. Five students are successfully carrying on outside reading in the library, during their class periods in history la, and still maintain an A standing in the class group. The five students are: Bernadine Brown, Elizabeth Elles, Bessie Hien-tamer, Lillian Nesheim and Jean Philippi. Mr. Pelagius Williams made a proposition to all history la students, in the X group, that any student could take his class time and use it for outside reading of his own selection in the library. Offer Is Accepted. The five students, who took up the work, report once a . week to Mr. Williams for a round' table discussion and on test days they take the test with the rest of the class. If they fail to make an A grade in the test, then, they reenter the class for the class discussion. So far, these students have made A standings in their tests. This experiment, modeled after the Oxford method, is intended to give the individual student a way in which to develop his own intellectual interests. "The reading they choose, to do is of more value to themselves than that which they axe required to do," says Mr. WiUiams.v':'•:•:,-''€> 'J---"\'-:. IS MADE BY MRS. A Marked Resemblance is Shown in the Oratory of Ruth Bryan Owen and Her Renowned Father. A special assembly took place last Monday morning at eleven o'clock in honor of Ruth Bryan Owen, the distinguished daughter of a distinguished man, William Jennings Bryan, three times Democratic candidate for president. Those who have heard Mr. Bryan, have noticed the marked resemblance of his oratory to that of his daughter. There is the same splendid tone to their speeches, the same mastery of the English language that has the power of holding the audience enthralled. Wished Pioneer Life Mrs. Owen said that she wished it was possible to get a bird's-eye view of history in order that one might acquire an idea of the pioneer's life. It was always her desire to be a pioneer, for it is so easy then to see just where one fits into the scheme, but now that civilization has progressed so far and so rapidly, it is very difficult to discover our exact status. American Youth Mentioned "Lindberg is far more characteristic of American youth than the young people spoken about in the newspapers," said Mrs. Owen. "He was a pioneer who proved that it is not far from our hearts to the hearts of those across the seas; and he did more to establish an understanding with the Old World than many of our prominent diplomats."

S.- Whether a blonde or a brunette beard grows the faster and whether the use of hair tonics is ethical, are questions confronted by the male part of the Sophomore class at the University of Washington these days in the 31-day beard-growing contest which began November 20, patterned after a similar contest which is an annual affair at the University of California. I t is estimated that beards about one and a half inches long can be grown in a month, but the Sophomores who age about eighteen-nineteen- twenty may have to specialize in the military mustache or the slim Vandyke. University district merchants are offering prizes for the longest, stiff est, handsomest, reddest, etc. etc., beards grown in this period. And the whole campus is considerably interested in the prospect of looking like a page from the old iamily album. But the Co-ed stoops to conquer. Moire subtely, the women are trying to see who can grow the most hair on the back of their jiecks. -W. S. N. S.- University educators meeting a lew days in St. Louis were reported t o have reached the conclusion that "a deplorable crop of misfits" confronts the educational world as its greatest problem. Spokesmen for the five great universities represented in the conference said it is their greatest concern to know "whom and how long to educate". Mass education as followed in educational systems of this country are to blame for the dilemma, they said. Teachers engaged in instructing pupils of every grade know the t r u t h of the university leaders' statements. They have made no new discovery' They merely gave emphasis to a problem long recognized and discussed wherever educational leaders are fraternalized. W. S. N. S. Nearly four millions dollars are annually lent by 218 colleges and universities to students of character and ability in order to enable them to finish their college education. Walter J. Greenleaf, of the Bureau of Education, found many important things in a study of student loan funds recently completed. "We are living in what appears to be the 'installment age' where people make large purchases by paying so much down, and so much per month. Higher education is no exception to the rule and as an investment, yields a high rate of interest with the passing years," he says. His study shows that in a few cases no interest whatever is charged, while 6 per cent is the rule, yet some charge as high as 8 per cent. Individual loans average $100 to $150, but many exceed these. Repaying invariably begins at a stated period after graduation. ——-W. S. N. S. A. S. P. C. officers ordered their. Frosh to "obey traditions" at the Thanksgiving game of the College of Puget Sound, Tacoma.

The 'New-School-Song Commit-: tee' was appointed by the Board of Control at its regular meeting last Monday afternoon. Catherine Morse, Guy Springsteel, and Mr. Ruckmick were chosen by the Board of Control and two others will be included by this group to make- the rules for this school-wide contest which will probably begin next week and end before the first of the Winter quarter. A Well-Worth Prize Twenty-five dollars is sure to be the amount presented to the composer. Announcement of. contest rules will be printed in the Viking next week. In a school this size, it is thought surely a number of songs of" original composition or transposition will be submitted by students i n the Music department or by others interested. Election and Notices Election petitions will be posted sometime this week, announced Roy Arnett, Secretary of the Board, for a representative to take the place of Guy Springsteel who has served out the four-quarter term of Madeline Bosshardt, now a graduate. And notices of application for Editor and Business manager of the Northwest Viking for the coming Winter quarter will also be posted. The Editor and Business manager are required to be resident students here for at least two quarters, to have a good journalistic standing, and to have recommendation of the faculty advisor. Each receive ten dollars for each current issue of the Viking. Forum Next Tuesday That inter-school debate, letter awards, and apportionment of funds be discussed in an all-school forum next Tuesday, December 11, was also emphasized by the Board. Sam Ford, Co-op manager, announced yesterday that he has just ordered several black and orange basketball suits for the Co-op team, a unit of the intra-mural series. CALENDAR FRIDAY—December 7.

The refreshments committee is: Margaret Hill, chairman, Ann Fillinger, Irene De Vries, and Irene Young. Elizabeth Gable has charge of the music. Ruth Steele is social chairman. Former Student Now Edits Filipino Forum Victorio Velasco, former Philippine student at Normal, is now editor of the "Filipino Forum" which is a six page mimeographed newspaper issued twice a month. Velasco, when attending here, besides writing a weekly column in the school paper, was the founder of the "Scribes Club," and the first editor of the "Red Arrow." Sharpen Your Razors, Girls,1 Boys Plan Razorless Days and Weeks! I n informal group discussions in the office of the Northwest Viking, Wednesday noon, a contest was proposed by the Associate Editor of this paper. The following is the gist of the plan: first: that certain men in this school permit their beards to grow for a period of two weeks, the men in question being Gordon Leen, Vernon Vine, Ben Hamilton and Joe Hermsen. At the completion of this contest the beards were to be measured, and the one with the longest was to have one of the school's most popular girls to shave it off on the landing in the main hallway. The girls in question, and we'll not have time to mention all of them, are Catherine Morse, Jeari Marquis, and Mary Elizabeth Fowler. Everything was fine and dandy until Catherine Morse balked at the idea of shaving a man. When she backed down, so did the others, as they began to realize the penalties for manslaughter and that there might be • difficulty with the Barbers' Union. Then some bright genius broached the idea of having a faculty beard-growing contest. This immediately gained favor. Jean Marquis said that she would use her influence on the dean of men. We wonder just how much influence Jean has. But our. next big problem was to find someone to induce the other prospects, Mr. Beyer- Mr. Fowler, M^ Kibbe, to enter this precarious contest. There were several things that entered into this informal procedure that caused some questions to be raised. For instance, could Mr. Fowler and Mr. Kibbe raise the beards t h a t . woukk compare with those of Mr. Bever and Mr. Ruckmick? Then it was decided that there would have to be two divisions in the contest and prizes a-warded accordingly. At about the time the discussion was getting under full swing and plans were being made for launching the contest, the one o'clock class bell rang and interrupted tbe conversation, but you have not heard it all yet. There may be more about this shaveless talk than appears on the surface. — o George Allez Writes George Allez, who was a former president of the Associated Student Body of Normal and a graduate of 1927, is attending the Library School at Columbia University. In a letter to Mr. Herbert E. Fowler, he said, "I am thoroughly sold on the value of library training for all students and want to teach students how to use the library." Mr. Allez spoke of meetings with Mr. E. A. Bond and Mr. Edward Arntzen, both of wliom aire on a leave of absence from the Normal, and Mr. ElwbodDavis, former fopt-. Last night' the Normal Drama Club presented their quarterly play, "SunrUp," by Lulu Vollmer, directed by Victor H. Hoppe, with the auditorium packed to its capacity. The drama took place in the backwoods, mountainous region of North Carolina. The first scene opened in late September, 1917, just after the United States had drafted men into the army. The third act was in mid-winter at midnight in a terrific snowstorm. A complete new stage set, produced Widow Cagle's cabin in yellow pine logs of the hills. Rustic and quaint furnishings added much to the scenic illusion and gave a perfect background for the action. Perhaps the most difficult of technical stage problems was the creation of a terrific snow storm with limited apparatus. However, this and the sunset and sunrise effects were well executed. The fine lighting effects of fire place glow, flickering lantern lights, howling wind and snow and finally the cheerful dawn made the play extremely pictorial and vivid. Character Development Stressed "Sun-Up" is pre-eminently a foslyn Postpones Lecture on Dec. 13 Owing to the fact that the date of the Drama Club play conflicts, the fourth lecture by June J. Joslyn which was scheduled for last evening has been postponed and will be combined with her last lecture on December 13, ^at '7:30 o'clock in room 119. Miss Jones will speak on the "Problems of Children" and "The Delinquent." Some of the problems will be taken up by using actual cases of students. Problems involving relationship.between the parent and child, teacher and child and their effect upon the child. In her discussion of "The Delinquent" she will tell how to help a child who commits anti-social acts. The child probably needs to be understood rather than punished. This talk will point out some of the more common motives for delinquency in children and suggestions for meeting them. E Robert Louis Barron, Violinist of College of Pacific Musical Conservatory Gives Recital. Robert Louis Barron, newly appointed director of the violin in the College of Pacific Musical Conservatory of Stockton, California, "appeared in a recital last Tuesday morning in the regular assembly. Although Mr. Barron came recommended rather highly by certain press quotations, his Normal audience was perhaps a little disappointed at his performance. However it was obvious in his more simple selections, that he put a great deal of himself into his playing. Naivete Noticeable A most interesting personality is Mr. Barron's. He caused considerable . comment by his excessive naivete which both amused and puzzled his hearers. However his stage presence was very pleasing and his audience forced him to respond to one encore. Mr. Barron showed to his best advantage in the latter part of his program which consisted .of the less classical though more widely appealing numbers. Much credit is due to the finished, accompanying of Miss Edith R. Strange,, of the Normal department of music. To her very sympathetic accompaniments, Mr. Barron's playingwas brought out to the best of -advantage..^;: •'.:%:':- „lr:[ ";;^v-;;;;. ;^';; "w:-'Y.; .'•••;•; character play centered around Widow Cagle as chief.' representative of thta rapidly passing community life in which the extreme feud spirit dominates all action. While a serious play, it has bits of humor scattered throughout. Widow Cagle's pointed humor escaped no one, including Sheriff Jim Weeks and Pap Todd. - "Sun-Up"s an accurate reproduction of the life of the Carolina mountaineer and illustrates the fast passing clannish ignorance, on the part of these hill-billy people. The entire play is in the backwoods dialect which makes it seem very natural and adds much to the effectiveness of the local color. As the play opens Rufe Cagle and Sheriff Jim Weeks are rivals for the hand of Emmy Todd. Emmy plays the part of a coquette well in playing one man against the other and keeping them both in suspense until the final moment when she consents to marry Rufe just before he goes to war. Dense ignorance is portrayed by them. They are "Agin" everything, (Continued on.Page Two) New Campus Editor Given Appointment Because of the resignation of Catherine Morse, Campus Life editor of the Klipsun, a vacancy occurred which was filled by the appointment of Irene Larson to the position by Naomi Chase, Klipsun editor. The Klipsun staff members are: Naomi Chase,, editor; Glen Fairbanks, business manager; Margaret Morrison and Bernice Gnagey, assistant editors; Raymond Greene, editor of the Arts; Lenore. Handra-han, Art editor; Ben Hamilton, Men's sport editor; Evelyn Craw, Women's sports editor; Alice Oakley, Sophomore representative, and Dorothy Sasse, Freshman representative. A meeting of the staff was held Wednesday evening, November 28, for the purpose of planning the 'dummy' at the home of Margaret Morrison. 341 So. Forest St. Spokane Chronicle Sponsors NeW-Sorig Contest for Northwest Dr. C. H. Fisher has received" a notice of a Pacific Northwest Song Writing Contest which is now being conducted by the Spokane Daily Chronicle and Spokane alumnae chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, collegiate women's journalism society. This contest is open to all residents of Oregon, Montana, Idaho, British Columbia and Washington. The Chronicle will award up to $125.00 in cash: prizes for four Pacific Northwest song-lyrics (the musical scores are not desired and will not be considered.) The contest is now under way and will close January 2, 1929. PROF. CHALLENGES; STUDENTS ACCEPT Professor Feels That Students Get More From Voluntary Than From Required Reading. Five students are successfully carrying on outside reading in the library, during their class periods in history la, and still maintain an A standing in the class group. The five students are: Bernadine Brown, Elizabeth Elles, Bessie Hien-tamer, Lillian Nesheim and Jean Philippi. Mr. Pelagius Williams made a proposition to all history la students, in the X group, that any student could take his class time and use it for outside reading of his own selection in the library. Offer Is Accepted. The five students, who took up the work, report once a . week to Mr. Williams for a round' table discussion and on test days they take the test with the rest of the class. If they fail to make an A grade in the test, then, they reenter the class for the class discussion. So far, these students have made A standings in their tests. This experiment, modeled after the Oxford method, is intended to give the individual student a way in which to develop his own intellectual interests. "The reading they choose, to do is of more value to themselves than that which they axe required to do," says Mr. WiUiams.v':'•:•:,-''€> 'J---"\'-:. IS MADE BY MRS. A Marked Resemblance is Shown in the Oratory of Ruth Bryan Owen and Her Renowned Father. A special assembly took place last Monday morning at eleven o'clock in honor of Ruth Bryan Owen, the distinguished daughter of a distinguished man, William Jennings Bryan, three times Democratic candidate for president. Those who have heard Mr. Bryan, have noticed the marked resemblance of his oratory to that of his daughter. There is the same splendid tone to their speeches, the same mastery of the English language that has the power of holding the audience enthralled. Wished Pioneer Life Mrs. Owen said that she wished it was possible to get a bird's-eye view of history in order that one might acquire an idea of the pioneer's life. It was always her desire to be a pioneer, for it is so easy then to see just where one fits into the scheme, but now that civilization has progressed so far and so rapidly, it is very difficult to discover our exact status. American Youth Mentioned "Lindberg is far more characteristic of American youth than the young people spoken about in the newspapers," said Mrs. Owen. "He was a pioneer who proved that it is not far from our hearts to the hearts of those across the seas; and he did more to establish an understanding with the Old World than many of our prominent diplomats."
