The special summem bul letin will be sent upon request to the college, of which M. W. Deputy is president. TWO BOYS WITH FLASHLIGHT RESPONSIBLE FOR "GHOSTS" Since the "ghost" story has been reported from the Frohn community, it has developed that the cause of the mystery was a practical joke played by two boys of that town ship, aided by an innocent looking flashlight.

Difficulties of Student Limitation by Colleges Nearly Prohibitive By DEAN EUGENE DAVENPORT, University of Illinois. The sudden rise in college enrollment, following the war, often crowding to capacity, gave rise to a kind of panicky consideration of the question of limiting attendance. It is one question for an endowed institution, a different question for one supported by taxation. The latter can hardly consider the question of limitation, aither by arbitrary methods or by Taking the standards of ad- mission. The public considers that as it pays the bills, it is entitled to service, and its position is sound. The difficulties of limitation for any institution are well nigh prohibi- tive. Excessive fees will limit attendance, but that plan means that the institution exists only for the wealthy. If entrance conditions are raised much above the general level of the secondary schools, then the institution exists for the favored few, mostly from large 'cities, or for the peculiar class who are sharks at securing grades. It is feasible to reduce numbers by "requiring strict attention to busi- ness after entrance, in that way eliminating the worst of all bad students, the indifferent junior and the senior who barely skins through. There is some reason to believe that the intelligence test may be used to supplant other, means of determining whether students should'continue in college work, i Planning the Summer Campaign POWER SHUT OFF ISSUE OF DAILY HANDICAPPED Due to the elctric power being hut off shortly before press time today's issue of the Pion neer is considerably handicap ped through a shortage of lyno type composition.

STEWART, Columbia, In The Survey. The struggle to maintain decent nursing standards has been going on since the first schools for nurses were founded in this^country in 1873, and the battle is not yet won by any means. Reactionists who believe in the efficiency of the pre-Nightingale nurse,, are active in advertising the virtues of the untrained OT semitrained combination of. domestic and nurse, who is miraculously to relieve the present shortage of nurses and whose services are to be especially designed for the sick poor and for the rest of us who belong to the unfortunate wage-earning class. But these, modern Sairy Gamps never have sera anything in nursing except a form of simple manual work requiring some dexterity and a mattering of elementary knowledge which they believe can be obtained in a few weeks or months by any ordinary woman who can read and write. They usually state that they consider any knowledge beyond this a posi- tive detriment and an encroachment on the province of the physician. They believe that a worker of this type will be quite willing, not only to care for the sick in the ordinary family, but to do a considerable share of the housework as well~at the modeBl sum of $15, or at most of 825, _____ i During the months of June, July and August the Brotherhood of American Yeomen will hold but one meeting a month, viz. the fourth Thursday.

RECOVERS WATCH LOST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS ACQ Twenty-five years ago while plow ing in a field on his farm a short distance west of Bcmidj:, Ira M. Fos ter, who now lives in Bemidji, lost a gold watch., Thorough search failed to diclose the lost artiefe and even though Mr. Foster watched closely for the watch to be turned up into sight while he was plowing that same field in the years that followed, the long-lost timepiece re mained in hiding until Monday of this week, when it was brought into view by Joe Miller, to whom Mr. sold that part of his farm some time ago. Mr. Miller was hoeing in this field, which he now uses as a garden spot, when the hoe struck something solid, which later proved to be the long lost watch. Mr. Foster is now in possession of the time-piece, which looks little the worse for its long period of hibernation., A curious individual, when informed that the watch had been found, wanted to know if it was running. The chance are that it will be after a short trip to a jewelry shop, since the solid hunting case served as ample pro tection during the twenty-five years which it was imbedded in the soil. Once all this had been accomplished, they will promise that large numbers of highly competent women will flock into this field of work aud that soon every one will be able to employ a nurse at less cost tnan one can employ a cook or housemaid. upon.
