Prof. F. J. Miller, Iowa, Discusses Origin of Speech
Latin Department Hears Lecture by Former Faculty Member at Kansas
"The Origin of Snoech" was
the theme of the lecture given by Prof.
Frank J. Miller before students of
the department of Latin Modem of
UCLA.
Two Theories Discussed
Mr. Miller was a member of the faculty of the University of Chicago for 33 years. He has been relied by the University of Chicago, but is teaching part time in the University of Iowa.
English More Pure
Mr. Miller his discussion of the origin of speech, said that there were two theories—one that a snowman created the entire system of speech, just as the alphabet was created, and gave this speech to his fellow men; the other that speech evolved in a natural manner from the soil. According to the second theory, the first means of communal communication he said. Then men began to use sounds which imitated natural sounds, and gradually built up a language for the expression of his thoughts. Mr. Miller compared this building up of speech to the natural development of the speech of a child. The child then uses only pronunciations and later qualifies adjectives and adverbs. Place and time relations are developed slowly.
It is entirely probably that this second theory is a sound one, no evidence and there are evidences of the languages coming from the soil in such words as "delirium" which the language actually means "who can run."
ENGLISH SCHOOL
Our own American English speech is of course diverse in literacy, from a fluent and Greek. When an language is assailed on every side by slang and other corruptions, we may be thankful, according to Mr Miller, that it is possible to go ahead to the original pure languages and study it in all its entirety and perfection.
During three summer sessions Mr. Miller was on the faculty of the University of Kansas. For a number of years he has been joint editor of the national Classical Journal and journal for a time associated in this work with Prof. A. T. Walker, of the department of Latin here.
The classical world is familiar with the work done by Mr. Miller. He has edited Ovid and Virgil, and on one tim extramural Ovid and another on Beowulf. The book takes from the story of Virgil have been published by Mr. Miller.
For three years Mr. Miller has been a member of Eta Sigma Pi, a national classical fraternity. The work of this organization is receiving much interest, and chapters are being installed in a number of Universities. The local classical choral Mu Tau Abad, the University of Kansas, has appointed for a charter from kta Simu Phi.
Insurance against any calamity because failing the students during their college career, from being injured in games to breaking clubs on the boards, will require insurance from a University. About the only calamity not insured against is "flaming."
The University of Wisconsin is the first University to offer dancing as a major course in its curriculum. The course entail four years work.

Unique Craft to Cruise
Institution Proposes Trip for Non-Magnetic Ship

Preferred cruises for the Carnegie,
the non-maritime ship of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, were recently announced by Captain J. P. Ault in a report of the third Panic for the Science Congress at Tokyo.
Washington, Dec. 14. - Will the most unique craft in the world put to use again after roating at its mourning on the Potomac for five years?
The Carnegie is a two must hermbroidite brig, in the construction of which iron has been reduced to a minima, in order that there may be as many carbides as possible, to deflect the delicate apparatus used in measuring the earth's magnetism. Copper and bronze have replaced the cheaper metal everywhere possible, except in parts of the navy where copper was used. Steel are eyes of brass and bronze.
The projected cruises will be for the purpose of securing further data on the magnetic properties of the earth in large areas in the Pacific Ocean not previously covered. In the regions where the magnetic needle shows unaccountable "nervousness," we will use these with possible determinations of gravity and of depth by acoustic sounding devices.
New determinations of changes in the values of the atmospheric-electric elements with geographic position are to be made, and investigations of radio transmission and variations with chemical conditions will also be undertaken.
Since the program for magnetic work has been considerably reduced, there will be more time and opportunity to devote to oceanography, Captain Ault said. In consequence ocean currents, the general "gird of the land" of the ocean bottom, the character of the sediments of which it is composed, are all problems. Ocean water are all problems that will require a share of attention.
- Improvements in world-wide weather forecasting is another important result that may be achieved by this opportunity to observe wind and cloud motion and the temperature and between ocean surface and the air.
The Women's Gke Club had just garnered for renewal and the director had given out the individual nurses for the "Last Song."
at the Carnegie Institution plans stand at present the first cruise will take about three years and will extend to all oceans besides the Pacific.
"Now," she said, "we will sing the Last Song first."

A dignified business
Any retail business that has grown to a volume of more than $100,000,000 a year must be founded upon sound business principles.
Keruge's is a dignified business. It meets the everyday human needs of folks everywhere.
The E.S. Kresge Company has developed the art of retail store-keeping to the point where it may well be termed a science. Merchandise of standard grade is sold in Kresge stores—but they are usually lower than in stores that lack the organization and resources of a great national institution.
There are already more than three hundred stores in the Kresge chain—and new ones are being added constantly. For these new stores we shall need managers—competent men, thoroughly experienced—and Kresge trained.
A limited number of young men—college men of good character and promise will be given the opportunity to train for these positions. Write at once and arrangements will be made. Be sure you know how to respond. He will tell you all about our organization and the opportunities it offers college men.

"I became acquainted with a kennel owner at the Kroger chain of interactive stores for a week of work deliberation. I started in 1986."
"Remember this! I held a good position in a chair and was very comfortable. There are photographers, and we were told to be the future image architect."
"My friends and business associates have been very helpful to us. They account for our business and financial success for the benefit of our business and to make it more successful. We have reached the point where I want to work with them," Gunniak said. New York has, we know, the best place in the world for business and best of all for us. I have a very strong relationship with them.
