Commencement BONNETS and HATS at MRS. EVA SAVAGE'S 901 Massachusetts Street.
UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
LAWRENCE, KAS., MAY 30.
F. C Stimpson went to Kansas City Monday and obtained a position for the summer as manager of a dynamo in the electric light station. He will leave to begin work next Friday.
A speaker in his talk at the convention last week on the subject of "Literature for the Young" urged the importance of reading history. Young people do not give the attention to history in their reading that they should. The light, fascinating novel does not require the concentration of mind that the dry and sober details of history do; and so when there are but a few hours to spend in reading, as a kind of rest from studies or other duties, the novel is chosen instead of the history. The history of our own country, with which every young person and student should make himself familiar, and especially that part of it which covers the period from the Revolution to the Civil war, possesses all the fascinating power that any one could ask. That was the formative period of that type of character known as American. During that period the constitution, an untried document, was tested in all its workings. Then it was that the influences were being created which brought together the hostile forces in '61. No part of our history is so little read as this, and if carefully read, no part gives a better insight into the workings of the government. If you would know the true character of our government and people, you must make yourselves familiar with this formative period of our national life. Read the work of Irving; Parton's lives of Burr and Jackson; the lives of Jefferson, Calhoun, Clay and Webster; and Benton's Thirty Years in Congress. No student should leave Monmouth College, where works of this character can be read so easily, without having made himself master of this period of our history.—Annex.
This very work is thoroughly and completely covered by the two years course in American History which is offered at the University.
