CONCERNING HATS
CO-ED FREQUENTER OF LIBRARY
EXPRE88E8 SOME OPINIONS
REGARDING HEADGEAR.
"I never was so glad to soo spring
again In all my life," said one co-ed
In the library yesterday, all the time
keeping a watchful eye on the stern
mentor behind tho desk. "Have you
seen those funny little hata tho men
are all wearing? They aro folded over
In tho middle and pinned with a safety
pin
"They are almost as bad as those
suffragette derby affairB tho girls have
all gotten since vucatlon You've no
ticed that black one, that light haired
I Sigh 1b woaring, haven't you9 It
looks just like Borne man's derby that

the men aro getting. Why, they look

some nursery work for two woeka.

porvlser of that forest to get IiIb oxtra
help needed for tho spring planting
from tho forestry department, so each
year those who think that thoy can
afford to make up two weeks of back
work get an oxtra Bprlng vacation. It
gives tho fellows a great deal of ex
perience, but this year, on account of
tho military camp being hold during

TO TEACH GERMAN EARLY
SUPT. FISHER OF AURORA WOULD
HAVE LANGUAGE TAUGHT
IN LOWER GRADES.
Superintendent Fisher of Aurora
was on tho campus yosterday con
ferring with tho German department
and the teachers' bureau to And a
teacher of German for his Bchool. He
1b planning to install tho teaching of
German in the Blxth, seventh and
eighth grades of the bcIiooIb in Au
rora, a movo which 1b in advance of
anything like It In tho Btate It has
been tho subject of much diBCUSBidn
among educatorB recently, on the prin
ciple that children of tho higher
grades can learn a language easier at
that age than a fow years later when
their minds are not so receptive. Tho
only similar move was made by tho
Lincoln schools, when thoy gave tho
pupils In the preparatory (seventh
and eighth) grades tho opportunity to
take either Latin or German. This
preparatory department ia moro ad
vanced than tho regular seventh and
eighth grades, however, for graduates
from it are ranked as sophomoreB in
the high school.
In that respect, then, tho movo of
Professor Fisher is in advance of any
thing like it in tho Btate. A very
skilful and capable teacher will be
needed for th position, and Bevoral of
the best applicants from tho German
department are under consideration
