A new building, the fourth on the acad
emy campus, Is to be erected next year.
This waa decided by vote of the board of
trustees, following the gift of $2,000 toward
a 810.000 building, by C. S. Harrison of
York. The alumni enthusiastically tooV
up the matter at their annual banquet and
subscribed $500 toward the new building.
The fund is to be pushed at once to com
pletion. Pera 'Normal Notes.
Registrar Overholt has made special ar
rangements to have the state examinations
held In Peru this summer to accommodate
those who are here for summer school and
who desire to obtain the state certificate.
The Normal offers courses. In all the work
required for the state certificates. A large
number are working toward this end.
Miss Austin, who is connected with the
University Conservatory of Music, has been
secured to take charge of the piano work
this summer. She gave a recital at convo
cation June 18, during which she waa re
peatedly encored. " '
Earl Cllne, principal of the city schools
of Sidney, who was a prominent member
of the class of 1907, being editor-in-chief of
the Oak Leaf, has returned to Peru this
summer and Is doing work as an Instructor
In the educational department. He has
large classes In history of eduoatlon.
The Peru State Normal Alumni associa
tion haa equipped Its office with a large
filing case with a card Index. This en
ables the secretary. Prof. W. N. Delsell. to
keep a complete record of each alumnus
at all times. Large numbers of the alumni
are at present taking work lit the Normal.
BellcTaa College Nates.
Bellevue colleg reopened Its halls Juns
18 for an eight weeks' summer ' session,
t'nder the direction of Dr. W. C. T. Adams,
the head of the normal department, courses
are being offered in normal, college and
preparatory subjects, wun recuaiions
dally In tha forenoons. Already a number
have enrolled for the session and more are
expected on Monday and during the com
ing week. Several prospective teachers are
availing themselves of the opportunity to
review tha common branches and pursue
studies In tha educational department with
a view to securing certificates prior to the
orjenlna of the schools in the fall. Some
have enrolled who wish to remove condl
tlons In courses pursued during the school
year Just closed.
This Is the first attempt to maintain I
summer session at Bellevue, and it Is an
tlclpated that It will prove highly success
ful and will pave the way for greater
activities In the future. The large and in-
creasing attendance from year to year In
other places attests to the growing Im
portance of the summer school as an ad
junct of the modern college or university.
Bellevue, with Its fine natural advantages
and location In the beautiful and historic
suburb of Nebraska's metropolis, should In
time become one of the moot popular places
in the west for summer study.

DEAN OF COLLEGE PRESIDENTS
Dlstlnaalskln Traits of President
Anarrll of Michigan.
Prof. Charles H. Cooley of the University
of Michigan, a son of the late J
Thomas Cooley, and one who has known
President Angell all his life, has written
characterisation of Dr. Ansell, at the
Instance of Giaham Taylor of Chicago,
which was published In the Survey. This
was reprinted In the May number of the
Michigan Alumnus and from it the follow
ing extract is taken:
"Shallow writers and talkers, astonished
at his Influence over all sorts of men.
Including legislators, have sometimes de
scribed President Angell as a man of pro
found and almost Italian subtlety and
management. In fact there Is nothing of
the sort In him; If there were his Influ
ence would be far less than It Is. His
nature Is essentially simple and downright,
disliking Indirect methods and always
trusting rather to principles than to man
ipulation. The sole foundation for the no
tion In question Is a manner which can
be blandly Impenetrable when he chooses.
and his frequent practice much like that
of Lincoln of avoiding unnecessary Issues.
ro one understands better the value,
at times, of masterly Inactivity, or has
more patience to practice It. Some people
decry a man who will not declare hlmlelf
on one side or the other or any and every
question which they themselves are al
tated about; but the more Judicious know
that this capacity of reserve Is a trait of
strong character, and one most useful to
the president of a university supported by
public opinion. In no other sense Is Mr,
Angell the accomplished politician he is
sometimes represented to be."
DlTY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The
Wlsd-ns Instltatloa for Major
Itr of Stndents.
The high school, says the Ohio Slate
Journal, should be made emphatically a
wind-up Institution, since the great ma.
Jority of the youth go no further. Its
classic. Its science. Its history, Its phlloso
phy should be so taught and generalised
as to give to each its appropriate Influ
ence upon the life of the pupil. These
studies should be pursued not so much
for their knowledge as for their Influence,
a distinction that every educator ought to
understand.
For Instance, to be able to analyse
flower, classify It, tell tha function of
each part, and so on. Is knowledge to be
learned, but one comes short of the real
learning of the flower, If he does not feel
In his heart Its beauty and harmony and
to see how close It Is to the stars, the
mountain, the river and the sunset. He
can get this in the high school, and he
doesn't have to go deep for It. Sometimes
they go so deep as to miss It. It depends
upon tha teacher and the school; and the
school may be across the street from
where he lives. We do not deprecate the
broader opportunity; we exalt the one that
Is near at hand.

SCHOOLS FOR BACKWARD PI PILS
Philadelphia Teachers' Asaoclotloa
Makes Recommeadatloa.
Strong arguments for the establishment
of special schools for children who are men
tally, morally or physically defective, and
separate classes for those who are other
wise backward, are presented In a report
wMrh has Just been published by the Phil
adelphia Teachers' association. The re
port also contains the results of a recent
census of the defective children in the pub
lic schools. This Is the first definite In
formation on the subject from an authori
tative source.
The census was taken under the direc
tion of Dr. A. C. Abbott of the bureau of
health. It waa found that there are In the
city's schools 4, M0 children, or 31 per cent
of the total enrolment, who are so defective
that they require segregation, while there
are (.00$ backward children who would
benefit by special Instruction In separate
classes, associating, however, with the
other children during the play hours.
Of the feeble-minded pupils there are
twenty-eight In every 10.000; of the Incor
rigible and vicious children who are also
mentally deficient, there are also twenty
eight in every 10,000; of Incorriglbles,
normal mentally, there are aeventy-two In
every 10,000; of backward children requir
ing special treatment, 1S5. and of dull chil
dren, 418 in every 10.000.

HOW STUDENTS EARN MONEY
Many of Them rind View and Bible
Selling- Profitable.
SOME ALSO FIND IT EXCITING
One Nebraska t'nlreraitr Stadeat Had
Thrllllaa Times la Kaaaas,
Where Lid Waa Held Doss
by Governor.
Now that most of the colleges of the
countrj' have closed their doora for the
summer months, hundreds of students will
be seeking to earn money to help pay their
way through the next school year.
Their means of getting tha coin will be
various. Some will remsln in their home
town, assisting the village grocer or dry
goods merchant. But the far greater num
ber will have a predilection for canvassing
and will take to the road selling many
kind of articles. Most popular canvassing
"snaps" among the students will be the
stereoscoplo views, Bibles and patent black
boards. Each summer every college In the coun
try sends out a large per cent of Its
students to sell goods on the road. In a
majority of cases the fortune seekers pick
territory that takes them several miles
from their home towns. Often they go Into
other statea to canvasa.
Selling goods on the road during the
summer Is not chosen by the students be
cause of Its pleasant features, for it has
few. It Is selected because it Is tha most
profitable line of work that can be found.
Where work at home will net a student bat
$30 or $40. canvassing will give Mm from
$100 to $400 a month. N
Test of the Nerve.
Some students start on the rosd and,
meeting with the hardships that the
"peddler" has to face, quit before they
have earned any money. But the boys
with real nerve stick to the summer can
vassing work and make good.
The University of Nebraska haa turned
out aeveral students who have been exceed
ingly successful In the canvassing business
during their summer vacations. A year
ago one student sold views In the southern
part of Kansas and cleared $300 on three
months' work. Another in one summer
made $400. This latter boy worked at the
view business for three years and next fall
will go to Harvard university, where the
money mada in the view business will per
mit him to pay his way through th law
college.
Students who have been engaged in the
canvassing business say that selling views
Is not as profitable as It used to be. Three
or four big firms have employed several
hundred students for the last ten years
In putting the views out all over the
United States, until now moat of the
families are well stocked with pictures for
stereoscopes.
Blackboards and Bibles.
With the decrease In the views as good
selling articles, the students have taken
up the patent blackboards and Bibles.
These are found to sell as, fast as the
views used to, and consequently the
college students still retain a profit
able field for the summer's work.
Young men who go Into thia work dur
ing the vacation months meet with some
Interesting and often rather discourag
ing experiences. A Nebraska student
who was In the business a few years ago
got Into more trouble than usually la tha
share of the canvasser.
He chose aa his field the territory in
and around Kansas City and Leaven
worth, Kan. He landed In Armourdale,
a suburb of Kansas City, Kan., in the
summer .of ltOS, Just after all the Joints
In that city and In other towns of Kan
sas had been closed, and Governor Hoch
waa strictly enforcing the law to keep
the lid on.
In Armourdale th cltlsens were run
ning several 'blind pigs" and the gov
ernor waa reported to have several spot
ters working in the town. Th cltlsens
who were getting their boose at these
placca did not want th govern
ment to Interfere with them and were
on the lookout for spotters. They
threatened to fill with lead the first on
they caught. They were suspicious of
all strangers.
Student Picked aa Spy.
The Nebraska student who waa sell
ing vlewa had been In the town but a
few daya before he attracted th atten
tion of the saloon element. He waa at
one picked out aa a spotter. Th sa
loonmen thought his canvastlng business
was simply a pretext to get him protec
tion. Their suspicions were strengthened
when on day he visited the horn of an
attorney who was the representative of
Governor Hoch in that city. He went
there simply to sell views, but th sa
loonmen, who were watching his move
ments, thought he was there to consult
with the attorney regarding some action
against th "blind pigs."
On the night of tha day he visited the
attorney'a horn th student, as h was
going to his room, noticed he was fol
lowed by a man whose right arm was
missing. At th tlma he gave this inci
dent no Importance, but th next day
he learned that he had been shadowed.
Directly Aeeaaed.
Before he had eaten breakfast on tha
following day, he waa visited by. a oltlsen
of Armourdale, who directly accused him
of being on of "Governor Hoch' a spies"
and warned him to get out of town.
Th student protested that he had noth
ing to do with th "spotting business," but
he could not convince th Armourdale man
of his Innocence in th matter. The visitor
left with the final word that he had bet
ter leave town before dark or there would
be trouble for him.
Whether there would have been trouble
or ndl the student did not learn, for before
the sun went down that night he waa In
Kansas City, Mo., where he waa perfectly
safe from th Irate cltlsens of Armour
dale.
It is a very common thing for the col
lege men during their canvassing to be
kicked out of houses or to have th police
called to put them out.
Ia Toagk Lack Agala.
This particular student who had th x
perlence at Armourdale was once led out
of a yard In Leavenworth by a deputy
sheriff. The deputy was not called In to
put him out, but happened to be on hand
when the student called, th place being
his borne.
Th canvasser atepped up to the aide
door of the deputy's home, and peering
through the soreen, called to th woman of
th house, who was sitting in a rocker,
asking her if she wanted to buy any views.
She said no. Just then her husband, who
waa the deputy, appeared at th rear door,
and, looking across the room, sad that
was right they did not want to buy any
views.
Th student was persistent In his nature
and one more he aaked to be permitted to
show the woman his vleas. Th husband
at th rear door aald nothing, neither did
his wife. He did, however, hurry around
to the side door, and taking the student
by the arm, showed him to th gat and
told him never to com back.
Often the canvasaers are successful in
taking ordera that they ar never able to
deliver. Th women who have given an
order will, when th student arrives wlta
the view and to collect, many times de
clare they did not order any and will not
take them.
It Is such women that cause th students
to lose money, for th views have to be
paid for before they can be secured by
th canvasser. If he fails to deliver there
It Is a dead Ion, to him.
Students after they have had a few
weeks eiperleno learn to discount the
number of their orders a certsln per cent
and figure on filling but a part of them.
They find that usually about per cent of
the women who order from a canvasser
will not accept th goods when they are
delivered.
The Tipping Ore ft.
Defenders of tipping, together with those
who simply endure It, will get small com
fort from a recent report of the stste
superintendent of employment agencies In
Illinois. He discovers tnai, in i nicago,
change left with employes In hotel and
theater cloakrooms does not stay wttn
