The meeting of the Song Association Friday night was very enthusiastic. Everyone is invited to come and help make these meetings successful. Mr. N. P.

The last weeks issue of the Minneapolis Messenger contains an article on "District School Libraries" by N. W. Wixon. The article is quite lengthy and very well written. The stockholders of the defunct oratorial association have one reason to be glad. A dividend of $1.78 has been declared and the affairs of the organization finally wound up. Miss Anderson still has many friends in the University, who remember her as one of the jovial young lady Students of two years ago. We always thought she would make a good instructor. A petition was circulating in the halls on Tuesday, to have the money of the former Oratorial Association, now in the hands of C. E. Street, turned over to the person who claims to be his successor. Prof. Snow: In boys from 6 to 15 we see the brute qualities very plainly shown. But they get over it—some of them. Those who do come to the University, Other wise they stay at home or go to Baker. The Ananias club finally organized and adopted a constitution Tuesday evening. Several persons having extraordinary qualifications but ineligible to active membership were, we understand elected honorary members.

Smith, Caywood, Bear, Kellogg, McKinnon, Fullerton, Fred McKinnon, Buckingham and E. C. Franklin. The board in school district 99 (Merram) by unanimous vote of the people last Saturday, extended the term of school two months. This is a convincing proof of the respect in which Miss Nannie L. Anderson, their efficient teacher, is held, as heretofore, in many cases the Merriam school has been badly broken into by the patrons of the school disagreeing and withdrawing scholars. Miss Anderson ranks among the first of our Johnson county teachers, and in the management of the Merriam school has added new lurels to her already well established reputation as a teacher.—Ola-the Mirror By the recent action of the Kansas House the appropriation for the maintenance of the State University was cut down by almost one-third, in pursuance of a spirit of economy which seems to pervade the present Legislature. Yesterday a motion to reconsider the bill carried, and it was reinstated on the calendar. It is to be hoped that when it comes up again it will pass as introduced and without any reduction. It is poor economy to cripple an institution like the Kansas University for the sake of saving to the tax-payers a few thousand dollars. It is one of the things of which Kansas has a right to be proud, and the people of the State are interested in seeing it advanced to the rank of an institution of learning which the University of a great State like Kansas should occupy. Its machinery should be made so efficient that no son or daughter of Kansas should be compelled to leave the State to secure the advantages of higher education, and this necessity will be obviated if the University is properly supported.—K.C. Star. Fraternity Notes. Phi Kappa Psi has admitted a chapter at Swarthmore.

Come out to night and hear Ed Franklin's report of his studies in sugar, creoles, and other sweet things. Blindness It is strange how blind some of the members of the literary societies are. The programs are posted on the bulletin board, where they pass them every day, and yet when Friday night comes, they are not prepared, giving as an excuse, many times, ignorance of their being on the program. The societies can not be made interesting with such persons as members. If a person does not expect to be an active member, let him stay out and not be a drag to the society. It is a shame that some are run into the societies for no other reason it seems than political purposes. Let every member open his eyes, and come up Friday night prepared to do his part and our societies will not languish. No fooling this time but a sure go at the De'monico. Mr. D. C.
