The Freshman chemistry class devoted one of their recitation hours this week to the discussion of the sufferings of Western Kansas After the discussion, a purse was made up and sent to those in the west who are in the greatest need. This action on the part of the class of 198 is highly commendable, and should be followed by other organizations of the institution. The money spent by the students of the institutions in extravagance, would warm many huts in western Kansas.
That tribe animosities will not bar the Indian from the foot ball field, is assured by the success, during the past season, of the foot ball team of the Indian Industrial school at Carlyle, Pa.

The class in Domestic Relations were recently required by Prof. Brownell to hand in the necessary papers in a proceeding for divorce, and later the papers were received in class and errors pointed out. This is excellent practice and should be made a part of the work, as far as possible, in all subjects. Lack of practical work is one of the principal defects of law schools; the graduate feels it when he attempts to draw up the papers in a case, still more so if his case is dismissed from court because of papers faultily drawn up. an examination of the current law reports will show that fully half of the decisions are on questions of form and procedure. This means that our lawyers are not well enough drilled on these points. Our schools must lay more stress on this subject for any carelessness in the instruction of our future lawyers will be dearly paid for by the people who employ them.
