No alumni of means should make his will without a bequest to his alma mater. An alumnus possessed of propetry who should die without having made such a provi in dission would be considered grace. President Harris suggested as the only way of escaping such dis grace was for the man of means to die within the next year. The officers of the association elected for next year are as follows : E.

The Brigham Young university library was well filled with summer school students at 10:30 this morning when a pause was made ln the strenuous work of registration to hear the opening lectnre of Dr. David Snedden, professor of education at Columbia university, who is scheduled lor a course in social organization and administration of secondary schools. Education has been shifting over into curricum problems, according to Dr. Snedden. The questions are being asked: "What shall we teach? To whom shall we teach it? aud Why?" Eighty or ninety years ago, said Dr. Snedden, one professor was prepared to teach all the course giveiv for Harvard seniors, but subjects have been multiplied and specialization has come in until a largj number of specialists are required to teach the subjects offered. The sub jects of the elementary schools have ucttu auuru m uiiiii itjuciierH nave been in dismay. In city schools where It is insisted that the cur ricula be added to, teachers are breaking down under the heavy bur den. Some new subject is brought up and some organization, women's clubs especially, get back of It and insist that it be put into the schools. The matter of vocational training is also assuming an insistent attiHe betude, the speaker stated. liever the time would come when every boy and girl would be given an opportunity to train for some vocation. There have been some eliminations from school curricula, some parts of spelling and arithmethic, for instance, and, the speaker was, sorry to say, "too precipitate a droplie believed that ping of Greek." some day Latin would follow the The speaker urged game course. that a select few those who were Greek inlndedshould study Greek and in like 'manner he would have other special studies folowed. Dr. Sneddon advocated that boys whose "i. g." was high, should not be pushed through the grades rapidly but should be kept out until eight or nine years of age"; gifted girls be would keep out until eleven or twelve. Those 'children should receive special phvsical development that their usefulness might be extended over a greater length of time. The eae (if President-EmerituCharles Slot who is past eighty, but is still writing masterly, thought compelling articles, was cited as an mentality, example of preserved based on physical vigor. Gifted women need physical development to prepare them for the duties of motherhood and to prevent nervous breakdown. Manual work wns advocated for in menthose below the average retality, but the gifted should also ceive manual training. s climax Suturdajr evening when the members of the six lodges of the state participated in a parade through the main section of the There were approximately city.

Dressed in their bright and glittty-tnuniforms, the members of the driU team presented a splendid appea ranee. The Salt Lake lodge had the largest number of members in the line of march. The Park City band, all of the members of which were dressed ln their miners and muckers uniforms of overalls and jumpers, created considerable comment.
