M. Schadell, 1522 Doug'as street, and upon his statement that he was walting for his wife, was given a seat in the rear of the store. “Dug” sat down and gazed around him and his beauty-loving soul was moved to admiration. There were plumes and flowers, ribbons and laces and all those marvelous creations which go to make women the fearful and wonderful as well as the expensive creatures they are. To appropriate or not to appropriate was the question which fairly rent the soul of Finally his aforesald love of the beautitul conquered, and according to the story which Mrs. Schadell told the Desire for nds in Swanson' Co. leaves Monday evening to Visit the leading mills and talloring cs- | tablishments of the east and to place orders for early fall clothes.

In addl- tion to this there was appropriated $100,000 out of the general fund for the purchase of ground for drill and for permanent Improvement. Besides this the university will recelve for its own benefits the cash fund, which is made up of the matricula- tion fees and other fees collected from the students, and the government appropria- tion There will be spent under the direction of the Board of Regents of the Btate univer- sity the $25,000 for the North Platte ex- perimental station; $20,000 for farmers' ir stitutions. If the new experimental station Is started in western Nebraska it will have to be pald for out of the 1 mill levy as the governor vetoed this item in the gen- eral appropriation bill, The only bill affecting the management of the State university which the fate leg- Islature passed was that providing for the establishment of a school of citizenship. This bill was originally conceived for the purpose of forcing the regents to establish such a school and its Inspiration was Mr. Bryan. The legislature, however, denatured the measure until it finally reached the governor, and was signed in the sh ape of merely a request to the regents to establish the school when, in their judgment. the same was wise and for the best interest of the university. The bill which was Introduced to start A& pension fund for the benefit of the teachers, falled to receive f: orable action | and was killea. Pern Normal News, The Ciceronian Debating club at a re- cent meeting held a very interesting de- bate on the subject: “Resolved, That the government should own and operate the raflways” The speakers on eacii side were as follows: Affirmative, J. D. Mc- Millen, Warren Burrelle, C. J. Skin- ner and J. A. Bastwood; negative, Fred Ebert, W. T. Harington, James B. Dennis and Webster Ray.

The club is planning a banquet to be given at commencement time. Dr. E. A. Steiner, the last number on the normal lecture course, lectured in the normal auditorium. His subject was: “The Trail of the Immigrant.” His lec- ture was full of life and by many apt illustrations he threw much light on the numerous phses of the immigration ques- tion. The lecture course offered this year has been the best ever glven in the normal and has pald well financlally. The committee are already making plans for next year's course. Arthur Gelwick of Brainard, Neb., has been elected manager of the foot ball team for next year. Russel Stuart has been elected captain. Both Gelwick and Stuart were strong players on the team this year and will doubtless do much to add to its success the coming year. E. M. Cline, graduate of the normal, 1907. and a star debater, has been re. elected to his position in the Sidney High | school as principal, at a marked increase {in salary.

Dr. Born, medical director of the Yale gymnasium, made public recently the 1908 statistics of development in the university. For the comparisons 500 athletes from the crew, the foot ball and base ball teams, the track men and the student athletes generally were measured. The general average the average taken in 1%3, and the 1%8 averages are generally higher than had been anticlpated. “The new college man has grown an inch and one-hal in five years. He has gained twenty-seven pounds in welght, and hae seventy-two cibic inches more lung capacity than his prototype of tive years before The list bears the assertion, monly made during recent years, that the American man was becoming greater phy- sically than any known race of men have ever been The comparative measurements given out by Dr. Brown are: is compared with out com- 1608 . 60.9 Vivii 1705 cubie inches. 314 .

In discussing the question of what sub- Jects should or should not be taught to young children, American Medicine de- clares that the mental Immaturity of school children is not fully realized by peda- gogues. It | sthe almost invariable rule, the publication asserts, that subjects are taught several years before the brain fis sufficlently grown to underetand them.
