The Exponent Northern Normal and Industrial School Vol. XIX ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, DECEMBER 4, 1920. No. 10 100 % SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE PASQUE WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT Our Place Among Nations is Subject of Strong Lecture. Ex-President William Howard Taft spoke at the Normal Auditorium Friday evening on "Our Place Among Nations." This was one of the most scholarly and logical arguments on the place of the United States in international affairs ever given in Aberdeen. He traced the growth of the U. S. from the birth of the republic and showed that this growth was due in large part to her endeavor to avoid entangling alliances. He ex-plained why we have no fortifications between us and Canada; then he logically followed this argument with the presentation of the League of Nations and what it stands for. After the lecture, Mr. Taft was the guest at a reception held in the Sun-parlor in Lincoln Hall, where the Faculty and many citizens of Aber-deen had the privilege of meeting the nation's only ex-president. Library Notes. Miss Leora J. Lewis, field librarian of the South Dakota Library Com-mission at Pierre, was a visitor at the library during the S. D. E. A. She conferred with various county superintendents in regard to county libraries and inspected the Alexander Mitchell library, Aberdeen High school library and the N. N. I. S., library. Wednesday, Novmber 24, a librar-ians' luncheon was given at the Sher-man. The advisability of having a Round Table for librarians attend-ing the S. D. E. A., was discussed. Those present were Miss Lewis of the State Commission at Pierre, Miss Hummer, librarian at Huron High School, Mrs. Drum and Miss Jones of the City Library, Miss Schmidt of the Aberdeen High School library, and Mrs. Barnes and Miss Wendell of the Normal Library. During Miss Lewis' visit here she was an honor guest at a luncheon given by Mrs. Celeste Barnes at her apartment in the Dorian, at a dinner given by Miss Meek and Dr. Bunker Wednesday night, and at an informal party at the Business Womens' club. Miss Lewis is president of the Busi-ness Womens' club at Pierre. Smokers! Attention! Smoking on the campus has be-come a frequent occurance of late. We wonder if the ofenders are aware of the fact that their misdemeanor is offensive, and also that they are ig-noring the traditions that have been handed down from previous worthy student bodies? It is inded no crim-inal offense to smoke or be under the influence of tobacco, but when on must escape the punishment of recitation and "heat it" to some ob-scure place to find comfort in the "camels" or the "make-urns", it is an offense of no minor detail. In short it comes to this: If you are used to spitting around your home spit around here, because we wish you to feel at home. Our New Organ For years past it has been the hope of some to have an organ in our school. This hope has at last been realized to the extent that we now have an "Estey" student practice or-gan. The new organ, which will be set up in a few days in one of the practice rooms at the rear of the auditorium has two manuals (rows of keys) and fifteen stops in addi-tion to "swell' and "great" crescendo pedals. It has a radiating and con-cave pedal board—the most approved pattern—and is equipped with an electric motor of up-to-date type. The possession of this instrument fills a long-felt want in the Music Department. Ever since the writer has been here—and before—there have been applications for lessons on the organ. These applications have, in a large measure, had to be denied because we did not have an organ and were obliged to rely on getting permission to practice on some of the church organs in the city and then only in summer. We are now en-abled to prepare orgaists to occupy positions in churches, for whom there is a considerable and constantly growing demand. Students will be tarined in the knowledge of the best music in the English, French, Belgian and German "schools." It is confidently expected that many will avail themselves of this great opportunity to become laminar with the "King of Instruments." In order that interest in our new ac-quisition may be quickened, Ivor Thomas, the head of this department will give an organ recital in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Aber-deen, on Friday evening, December 10, for which an interesting program has been prepared and to which ad-mittance will be free. We may now look forward to the day when we shall have a large organ installed in the auditorium for convocation and recital purposes. In the opinion of the writer there is no single agency outside the church of such value as the organ in its uplift-ing effect on both faculty and stu-dents, and he is further of the opin-ion that all higher institutions of learning should be equipped with one. IVOR A. THOMAS. The Messiah The Choral Society will give its opening program on the fourtheenth of this month, in the presentation of the Messiah. The society con-tains about 80 mixed voices. This does not include the soloists, who are chosen from people outside of the school. Mrs. Madge King-Johnson, of Aberdeen, is the accompanist: Mrs. Miriam Fryberger-Foutz, of Aberdeen is the soprano soloist; Miss Mary Partridge, a graduate of our school and a former student of Prof. Good-sel is the contralto soloist; Mr. W. Herbert Roberts, of Sioux Falls, is the tenor soloist; and Mr. Richard F. Tuttle, of Aberdeen, is the bass so-loist. Mr. Tuttle taught music in Minneapolis for over four years but has ceased work along this line sine' he came to Aberdeen. A School In Miniature A movement has been started throughout this state to build up a etter rural school system. The con-struction of consolidated schools has been emphasized extensively and from the reports of schools through-out the country it will be found that the consolidated school has many ad-vantages over the present school sys-tem. Dr. Foght has asked the legis-lature to grant an appropriation for the purpose of building a school un-der the consolidated system a short istance from the campus. This pro-posed school is to have a five acre playground, a teachers' cottage, a complete agricultural department, and all the up-to-date improvement, of the modern school. A miniature of this proposed school has been built by Mr. Gerber and Mr. Fisher, the painting being done by he art department. This model, and that of the Sargent schools of Colo-rado, were placed on display in the hall of the administration building during the week of the S. D. E. A The Sargent Consolidated school has proven a great success and similar schools have been erected throughout the state of Colorado and the adjoin-ing states. The state of South Dakota hopes ro play a prominent role in this movement so that we may have a better and more efficient rural school system. P. T. C. Banquet The Primary Teachers Club held their annual banquet at the M. E. Church on Tuesday of the S. D. E. A. week. Miss Lida M. Williams spoke on the purpose of the club. Miss Coleman gave a reading which was much ap-preciated. Miss Bess Gartland, a former student of N. N. I. S., and later of Mrs. Wood's Kindergarten school of Minneapolis now in charge of the Kindergarten at Huron, also spoke, as did Mrs. Georgia Vauk, a graduate of N. N. I. S., now in charge of the Kindergarten at Stratford. Many former members of th club were presnt and all report a most enjoyable occasion. Associations Hold Joint Meeting The Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. held a joint Thanksgiving program in E-2, Sunday afternoon preceding Thanks-giving. Ben Sultz, President of Y. M. C. A. presided. The organization was favored with a song by a quartet: Miss Hazel Nelson, Esther Hunstad, and Messrs. Lambert Orton and R. W. Kraushaar, accompanied by Miss Jean After the reading of the scripture lesson by Hazel Glenny, Mrs. J. C Allen. King gave an appropriate talk. The Short Course Contest The winners of the Short Course students in the stock judging contest were Wayne VanWinkle, Edward Bierman, Andrew Bentz. These boys left last Friday to attend the International Live Stock Convention in Chicago. They were accompanied ay Prof. F. E. Smith. PASQUE DAY Over the Top with 580 copies sold In First Drive. The program for Convocation last Thursday was in charge of the Pasque staff. The first number was the Pasque Motto given by Miss Jones' athletes. It was very cleverly done. The Pasque advocates a "biger and better book, because of a bigger and better school." The second numbee was a sketcch by Mr. Kraushaar, busi-ness manager of the Pasque, and Catherine Woodward entitled "Ad-vertising Under Difficulties." Professor Sipple, dean of the Pre-normal department, and Professor Saymour, Dean of the Junior Normal department, each gave a three-minute speech, representing their respctive departments. Dr. Foght spoke on the subject, "The All-School Point of View." The entire student body was filled with enthusiasm and college spirit as a result of these talks. During the program, a telegram was received from Ann McCann, edi-tor- in-chief, which reported 314 copies already sold, and that the Senior Normal and the faculty choir had subscribed 100 per cent. After the short talks, the Faculty choir gave a very appropriate selec-ion, entitled "Have You Bought Your Pasque?" As an encore they sang a newly written school song entitled "Hail N. N. I. S." Professor Lind-berg had charge of the program and introduced the various numbers. Appropos of Good English The following is a copy of a gen-uine letter sent to the army depart-ment at Washington. It is given here as an encouragement to those who were tagged during Good Eng-lish Week. It is evidence of the fact that there is some poor English beyond our campus walls.
