Doctor Arnold Lucius Gesell,
who graduated from Stevens
Point State Teachers College ill
1899, is the author of an article in
the last Scientific Monthly on the
new developments in the scientifie study of the child. This subject is in accordanJce with his research work as professor of child
hygiene in the graduate school at

years ago. A mkgazine article
titled ''A Town of a Thousand
Souls'' attracted much attention
at the time of its publication.
Gesell was a successful orator
while at Stevens Point, winning
the state and interstate oratorical
contest for his school.
In the interest of science, two
little white rats have gone to the

are granted on cheese importations
and embargoes levied on cats and
steel traps.

some value to those who know.
· Experiment Report
Miss Hammes reports the result
of the experiment in this manner:
'' 'rhe experiment consisted in
t he feeding of three white rats, as
a problem in nutrition. The rats
were fed on vitamin 'A plus, diets
and vitamin 'A minus' diet, to

The first copy in the volumes is

and bound by Mrs. Clark's father,
Mr. N. F. Bliss, who died in 1876.
For the past four years the collection has remained in the Public

To date, four volumes of his

'Wings Against the Moon;' the

for only a few months. The subjects of Lew Sarett 's writings are
very diverse, but all smack of the

in its lyric quality, being simple,
direct, and picturesque. The stage

Admission Low
Students elsewhere have paid
_from one to three dollars to hear
Mr. Sarett and, although the
:price of admission has not been
definitely decided on, it is expect·ed to be considerably less through
