Hines, state superintendent of public instruction, that salaries of public school teachers are definitely on the upward trend. All indications this year point to the fact that salary levels will be considerably higher. This ought to be a great incentive to graduating teachers, as vacancies are quite numerous this year. The superintendent cited that because of the low wages, teachers have been looking to other fields with some forms of social security. for their slubsist4nce. This is an unfortunate situation for South Dakota, as those teachers who are now leaving the profession are at a point in training where they are most valuable.

Lawrence has announced that immediate steps are to be taken to qualify Northern for accreditment by the North Central association of colleges and secondary schools. Application was recently made for Northern's accreditilient this year, but acceptance of the application was deferred by the North Central association, pending a few enumerated weak-nesses, which, Dr. Lawrence states, will be remedied. The prexy returned from Chicago last week, after interviewing the association's board of directors. Adjustments in the N. S. T. C. set-up that will be made before the re-application for accreditment next fall will bring a fully-trained librarian to Northern, in addition to the present efficient staff; will add three new instructors with Ph. D. degrees, to fulfill requirements; and will give the college a full-time personnel director, who will be the counsellor and guidance director of the student body. The personnel director will be one of the new "Ph. D." instructors. All faculty members, in the future, will be required to attend summer school more regularly. Favorable criticisms of Northern were also made by the board. These characterized the administration as "fine," and the faculty and student spirit as of a "high standard." Dr. Lawrence averred that "if we do the things outlined, there will be no doubt that we can qualify," and added that very few schools applying do get on the list the first time. He went on to say that Northern was handicapped this year by the tardiness of its application, which will not be a stumbling block when re-application is made. S.D. HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC CONTEST IN SESSION Outstanding Authorities Are Called In From Surrounding Territory to Judge. Thursday, Friday and Saturday Northern is joint host to over 3,000 high school musicians who are entering in the state contest. Winners from the various districts are competing in solo, small ensemble and large ensemble events, in three classes, according to the size of the high school. Nationally known judges have been selected for the contest. William D. Reveli, from the University of Michigan, who spoke at the S. D. E. A. convention this year, is judging wood winds and chamber wood wind ensembles; 0. E. Van Doran, of the University of Iowa, Iowa City, is in charge of the brasses and brass chamber music; Charles B. Righter, whose Lincoln High School Orchestra won national recognition, is judging the string division; Grace V.

Playing leading roles in both the winning productions were Norma Anderson, sophomore, and Joe Kelly, freshman, giving proof of their versatile dramatic ability. These two comprised the entire cast for the drama; in the comedy were Grace Cable, William Ochs, Jane Splaulding and Lawrence Price. Judges. for the preliminary competition on Monday afternoon and evening were H. P. Gerber, E. K. Baillie and Ruth Allen.

E., directed by Virginia Kelton; Sigma Tau Delta, which also went into final competition under the direction of Barbara Bixler; and the Leadership, coached by Margaret Opheim. Jensen Designates April 16 Arbor Day Governor Jensen has officially designated April 16 as Arbor Day in South Dakota. In a proclamation calling attention to the necessity of acquiring an interest in trees, the executive requested the people of the state, especially school children, to give full observance to Arbor Day so, as he says, "a vital interest may be taken in the planting and preservation of our trees, not forgetting our shrubs and flowers and all growing things." Welcome Contestants We, the faculty and students of Northern, are taking this opportunity to welcome you, the state music contestants, to our campus. We feel honored to he host to such a distinguished group, and wish to make your stay here a memorable one. We hope you will feel at home and free to ask anyone for help or information.

Culp, was presented at convocation Tuesday morning by the rural demonstration school children at their annual presentation. The prologue was given by the Sunnyside school, under the direction of Miss Margaret Neville, the teacher. The presentation was divided into several scenes, each enacted by one of the demonstration schools. These were: "Inventors," by the Riverside school. Julia Finley, teacher; "Great Writers," by the Plainview school, Genevieve Keifer, teacher; "Statesmen," by the Brookside school, Helen Bergh, teachers; "Pioneers," by the Warner school, Marie Schrimpf and Mrs. Frank, teachers; "Reformers," by the Trail school, Margaret Ristan, teacher; "Scientists," by the Sunshine school, Mary Himanga, teacher; "Artists," by the Parkway school, Mrs. Ann Hill, teacher; "Sportsmen," by the Westport Grammar school, and "Actors," by the Westport Intermediate school, Lillian Leysen, Gertrude Showalter and La Rue Thomas, teachers. Each year the N. S. T. C. demonstration schools that serve as the practice teaching fields for those taking teacher training at the local institution, stage a presentation before the college student assembly. The program this year was directed by the teachers of the various demonstration schools, with the aid of the faculty of the college education department. 'MRS. MOONLIGHT' IS COMMENCEMENT PLAY "Mrs. Moonlight," said to be one of the best plays written by Benn Levy, has been selected as the commencement play for this spring, to be presented sometime before June 3, on a date to be chosen. Miss Covington who is directing the production, announced that rehearsals are already under way. Included in the cast are Marian Fuller, Malcolm Solberg, Phyllis Avery, Norma Anderson, Joe Kelly, Wayne Worsley and Hilda Calvert. One part remains yet to be cast. The play, being a romantic fantasy, is a presentation along an entirely different line from other productions this year. 30,000 EDITORIALS College writers who would define an editorial before attempting to compose one should not become discouraged if their efforts at definition fall short of their expectations, for Lynn W. Landrum, editor of the editorial page of the Dallas Journal has written 30,000 editorials, but stilt isn't sure what an editorial is. Mr. Landrum made the startling statement, "I've written more than 30,000 editorials during the last 20 years, but I am frank to confess that I don't know what an editorial is." He added that an editorial might be defined as a short essay, because it is getting shorter, and pointed out that where formerly editors studied their subject a week before writing the editorial, they now write from five to nine a day. WONDERLAND OF SCIENCE TO BE GIVEN HERE Presented for three days by Sigma Delta Epsioln. The annual Science Fair, sponsored by Sigma Delta Epsilon, the science and mathematics fraternity at N. S. T.

In preceding years each department had made its own individual contribution toward the fair, but this year all the departments are working collectively toward a bigger and better exhibition. Accomodations are being made for the people in and around Aberdeen to view the fair Thursday evening from 7:30 to 10:00 P. M.; on Friday 9:30 to 11:30 A. M., 1:30 to 5:30 P.

Miss Groom, who will administer the serum, is assisting Dr. P. V. McCarthy in the project. Having this test is a great advantage for the students planning to teach next fall, because many school superintendents now ask that the new teachers have an examination for the disease. Each student who takes the test will be given a statement to show the results, which may be presented to the superintendent. Appointments can be made with Miss Groom in S 107. All out of town students are urged to take this test.

On the College Hour next Sunday pupils of the rural demonstration schools will recite original poetry. Miss Briscoe will announce the program.
