The Regents Visit HE board of regents of the University of Minnesota, together with Pres. The D. Coffman and Dean W. C. Coffey and heads of important University

departments. visited the Northwest School on December 7. Among the regents present were Fred B. Snyder, president of the board; John G. Williams. Duluth: A. D. Wilson. Guthrie, J . E. Sundberg, Kennedy; Dr. Wm. J . Mayo, Rochester: Samuel Lewison, Canby; the Ex-officio members of the board, L. D. Coffman. President of the University; and J . M. McConnell, commissioner of education. Other members of the party were William T. Middlebrook, comptroller of the University: T. E. Stewart. in charge of publicity: Dean W. C. Coffey: Professor Andrew Boss, Chief of Agronomy and Farm Manage- ment: and H. A. Hildebrandt, Superintendent of buildings and grounds.

The purpose of the visit was to see the school while the students were present and to inspect the various needs concerning equipment, repairs, and buildings. During the visit at Crookston the board spent part of the forenoon in a tour of inspection and later attended assembly. a t which time the members were introduced by Dean Coffey. Addresses were given by President Fred B. Snyder and President L. D. Coffman. Both addresses were of an inspirational nature but space does not permit quoting the speakers in detail.

At noon the members of the group were guests of the Crookston Associa- tion of Public Affairs. After a business session a reception for the regents was given by the faculty, and in the evening the visitors had dinner with the faculty and students at the dining hall. The regents left that evening for Morris. We were pleased to have this official visit by the regents, and the opportunity afforded the students to meet this group personally will be an inspiration for many years to come.

Full many have come from tree land and plain. And many in cities their home they can claim; But, although they may differ in places of birth, You may search far and wide; there's none better on earth

Here's a greeting to you that is hearty and glad; Although you'll soon leave us, we'll feel lonesome and sad. To have known you has been a great pleasure indeed We wish you success in the lives you may lead.

THLETICS for every boy is the program followed A at the Northwest School. The Major sports included in this program are football and basketball. while those of minor nature are boxing. wrestling, track, and gymnasium. Inter-school games in football during the fall and in basketball during the winter are played with other schools. Boys not on the first team play on class teams. where everyone has a chance to learn the game as well as to taste regular competition. Gymnasium is offered as one of the courses in the curriculum of the school. Classes are taught each day at which time instruction is given in Physical Health and Personal Hygiene. Members of the classes take part in calisthenics, boxing, wrestling and light and heavy apparatus work such as performed on or with Indian clubs, flying rings, horizontal bar. punching bag. etc.

Each year a growing interest is being shown in our athletic program. Many are coming out for the teams and much more interest is being shown by the student body. The past year witnessed the largest attendance a t our games, although one of our chief handicaps a t the present is the lack of gymnasium facilities to take care of these increasing crowds. Our athletic policy is clean sports and fair play. We work to win our games but to win fairly and in a sportsmanship way. After all. this is what “playing the game” really means. The type of

athletes found a t the Northwest School are those who believe in scholarship first and then the other things that go to make good players. Many have had little experience but they learn quickly. Their moral codes are above reproach and training rules need seldom be mentioned. In all. their spirit is true, They are good winners but by far better losers. With these qualities emphasized we believe that the boys in our school are receiving the true benefits from athletics, a training that develops them mentally as well as physically and one which builds character.

COACH LAVOI

IRLS as well as boys need recreation and regular G exercise to keep in good physical condition for the day’s varied activities. Physical education for girls a t the Northwest School consists of marching. calisthenics. apparatus work. folk dancing, and games. All of these help the student to respond quickly and accurately to signals and situations not only in the gymnasium but in other activities as well.

Development of correct postural habits in standing. sitting, walking. and running, and other health habits are stressed in the giving of these exercises.

The playing of games develops obedience. co-operation. courtesy, leadership, and good sportsmanship. The ability to be generous winners and good losers will mean a great deal in the student’s life after she leaves school.

Up to this time. the girls have played inter-class games only. and competition for school championship has been strong. These games and the inter-class competition in the field meet a t the end of the school year help develop class spirit which is necessary in any school.

Basketball is played for recreation. mainly.

Bemidji Aggie Game ROOKSTON Aggies lost to the Bemidji Teachers College a t the Northwest C School. October 29, by a score of six to nothing. The score for the teach-

ers came in the last few minutes of play on a “shoe string” play with Keeler passing to Stant for a gain of 28 yards. Four times during the game the Aggies were within scoring distance. Two of these times the ball was on the one yard line. The first half ended with the Aggies on Bemidji’s one yard line with four yards left to go. In comparing first downs the Aggies made 18 and visitors 6. Widseth. Confer, Stenborg. and Roisum made the gains in the back field while the entire line did good work in stopping Bemidji’s back field.

Dramatics THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH

AINTAINING the usual high standard in dramatics a t the Northwest School, the senior M class this year presented "The Goose Hangs High" by Lewis Beach. Besides introducing bits of clever comedy, this play teaches a valuable lesson to children who fail to appreciate the sacrifices of their parents, and also shows that the modern young people are by no means so flippant and calloused as many older people believe them to be.

WHEN OUR MOTHERS AND

Parents' day held its sway. As in the days of yore. With modest pride, they all arrived As they never did before.

The day was cold, and yet, behold! The football game was played. We lost the game, but just the same, The team was not dismayed.

And in the night, with lights not bright, The Hallowe'en party came. We'll have to admit, i t made a hit And put all others to shame.

The stairs were dark and gloomy, We all just shook with fright The time we did the ghost walk, On that chill November night.

The evening's program was games and fun. Peaches and Flynn had a row. Lambert and Ted told what school life would be

"Twenty-five years from now."

The party was entirely successful. We admit we all had a good time. But we never know what a job i t would be To make this blamed thing rhyme.

UMMER home project work, under the supervision of the school faculty, S has been an an important feature of the Minnesota schools of agriculture since they first were established. Each student plans the summer project with the assistance of the instructor before the end of the school semester and receives instruction regarding various topics involved. The home project supervisors visit each student from time to time during the summer months to give suggestions and note results. This forms a contact between the school and the farm and home which mutually beneficial. The student receives instruction which enables him to become established in some special branch of agriculture, such as breeding livestock, pure seed production. growing certified seed potatoes, etc. while he still is in close contact with school and experiment station.

A few of the projects chosen by boys during the summer of 1927 were dairy herd management, baby beef and swine production. poultry management pure seed production, corn and potato growing, farm accounts, tractor and truck operation, and building construction. Home Economics projects included canning, preserving. baking, sewing, and fancy work.
