The April number of the Atlantic Monthly contains a sketch, "My Book and Heart," by Miss Margaret Lynn, of the department of English. This is the fifth in a series which has appeared in the magazine during the last year. The stories chonicle the life of a child on the prairies.
ICS.
"Of course I never knew the early life on the prairies," said Miss Lynn. "The prairies, in the section about my home, had passed before my clear recollections begin, but I lived among them, and when I observed them and talked about them."
When asked if the stories were auto biographical. Miss Lynn answered:
"No, unless very remotely. I had no model for the 'girl' she is a creature of invention, although some people who have lived on the prarie have told me that I have duplicated their experiences very nearly."
"What is your method of writing?" Miss Lynn was asked. "I haven't any method," she declared apathatically. "I just write the stories."
The title of the last sketch is taken from a quaint verse in the New England Primer.
'My Book and Heart. Shall never part."
"My Book and Heart," is a literary confession of likes and dislikes, of tiresome books and fascinating discoveries, of bibbled and forbidden books. The Prairie girl had found out that books under a ban were most attractive. "The corner of the Forbidden Books," she confides, "added a zest and a perilous excitement to our explorations. The grown-ups certainly had curious notions about what it was inadvisable for children to read—But having books forbidden makes them irresistibly aluring, and adds the excitement of hazard to the reading of them. Did you never sneak a book away to read it, prudently sliding up the other books on the shelf so that no betraying gap might show? Did you never, for instance, read "Romola" under the bed in the spare bedroom, dividing your righteous condemnation of Tito with your own conscientious scruples, and your fear for Romola's safety with shivers lest you yourself be caught? Did you never make your way through "Vanity Fair" by cautions half-hour snatches, fearful every moment least some one in authority should interrupt?"

P. URPLE MARTINS ARRIVE AT FRASER
Organize Latin Letter Secret Society—Are Busy Rushing New Members
Large crowds from the south have been arriving daily at Fraser hall. They have come with serious intentions to work, and are going to stay for the summer sessions. They are at present drifting about the campus, getting their bearings while waiting for the rest of their fellows to get in. They have formed a secret society, the Progne subis subis's, for they insist that the Greek letter chapters are being overworked and will have a Latin named chapter for a change.
As soon as the rushing season is over they will settle down to the steady grind. All are enthusiastic about higher education, as is shown far beyond all the other stories located above the fifth story of Fraser.
Domestic science is the subject that about half of the number are planning to major in, while aerial engineering is making a strong appeal to the sporting members of the company. They are already specialists in aviation; owing their own air lines and manning their individual air ships so successfully that they are the envy of all bird men.
The students should make a special effort to make the acquaintance of these new comers and make them welcome on the campus. It will be well worth their trouble. There is no danger of getting their names confused as they all go by one name, P. Urple Martin. A. P. B.
NEW CABINET ANNOUNCED
Y. W. C. A. Workers For 1912-13 Hold First Meeting.

That the extension department of the University has proved itself one of the most valuable sources of information to Kansas club women is shown by the many letters received daily by that department asking for suggestions for club papers on various topics.
The subjects which they have asked about vary from "Kissing the Blarney Stone" to "Woman's Suffrage."
Some of the favorite topics are: Social Settlement, Notable Women of Today, Labor Unions, Child Labor, Playgrounds, Modern Painters, And Co-education.

Bird Men Say the Supposed Pest Saves the Alfalfa
Crop.
"You've gotta quit kickin' the English Sparrow around," the ornithologists at the natural history museum are saying, "for he is a beneficial bird instead of the arrant vagabond that popular opinion has made him to be." Government experts in Utah and Wyoming state that the English Sparrow is redeeming his lost reputation by his valiant field work in those states. He is checking the rapid advances of the alfalfa weevil, a pest which has appeared there, and is likely to spread other states.
Sparrows have been known to clear rose vines of aphids in return for their rent nest under the cornice. In town streets where no other bird will venture,
Ornithologists say that the charge against them of driving the wild birds out of town is false. There are as many wild birds in the towns now as there ever has been, but as they often keep to the tree trees, while the Sparrow is every where underfoot, they hastily draw such conclusions.
