Flickinger} professor of ‘Latin and Greek at Northwestern uniâ€" {versity and for four years dean of the college of liberal arts at that. instiâ€" tution, has issued a new book of popâ€" ular songs, the words in Latin, with musical notations. Prof. Flickinger hopes that this Latin song book will be used generally throughout the world as he declares, "it is highly desirable that there be no reaction in the tendency to use Latin as a living tongue." - MANY. WELL KNOWN AIRS Translated Into Ancient Tongue : By College Professor; Try , _ _ Them on Your Piano , Some Time Earlier Edition . At least 20,000 students at high schools and colleges in the last five years have utilized the earlier ediâ€" tion of the Latin songs which lacked the advantage of the musical notes, and it is in response to many teachers that the new version has been preâ€" pared, he states. As an indication of the increasing use of Latin in nonâ€"| clerical circles, he cites the popularâ€"| ity of the familiar round, "Brother John," which has been sung in all parts of the United States,. The Latin title is "Frater Johannie." & Some of the Songs « Some of the other songs which apâ€" pear in a Latin dress in his new book are the following: "America," "The Starâ€"Spangled _ Banner," "Prairie Flower," national anthem of . the Rotarians, and the Northwestern uniâ€" ‘versity hymn, ‘theJ'Latin words of which were written in 1908 by the late Prof. J. Scott Clark and the music adapted by Dean Peter C. Lutkin of Northwestern university school of| music. "The Spartan Marching Song," written in Greek by Tyrtaeus about 650 B. C. is set to the tune of "Columâ€" bia, The Gem of the Ocean." Various other Latin songs are utilized such as "Adeste Fideles" by an unknown auâ€" thor of the geventeenth century; "Lead Kindly Light" translated from Cardinal Newman‘s English hymn by Prof. A. F. Geyser, and "Prex," the text rearranged by Dr. Flickinger from an elevenâ€"line hymn found in | the prayer book of Mary, Queen of \ Scots, and which was probably her own composition. . â€" MASTODON TEETH Discovery Made Near Murphysâ€" boro; Excavations Are Commenced Teeth of a mastodon which roamed what is now southern Illinois have been uncovered five miles northwest of Murphysboro in Jackson county. This announcement was made after research workers of the University of IHlinois, who dug up the teeth, had identified them positively as those of a prehistoric monster. â€"_ °_ While only two complete molars, one from the upper and one from the {o‘wer jaw, and a piece of a third 4oth, were all that were examined, a more or less complete skeleton was found. Because of frozen ground, spring after workers had dug about the excavating was dropped until five feet along the skeleton. The inâ€" vestigation was made by Dr. Harold Wanless of the university‘s departâ€" ‘ment of geology. +4 L8 The skeleton is of rather special interest scientifically as it is theâ€" only mastodon remains ever reported from Jackson county. It lies in the loess deposit, which classifies it as postâ€" Illinoian or preâ€"Wisconsin, and gives it an age of somewhere between fifâ€" ty thousand and five hundred thouâ€" sand years, according to Dr. Wanless. During the Easter: vacation Dr. Wanless plans to make a search for tHe tusks of the mastodon, which are probably near the skeleton and are &ily to be between three and four long. The tusks and teeth being covered with enamel, are much more resistant and remain better preserved than the bones of the animal which are badly weathered. 5. vig The skeleton was reported to the university by C. J. Thomas, Jackson county farm adviser, and Dr. Wanâ€" less was helped in his work by Frank Graeff, on whose‘land the great aniâ€" mal is buried. TOWNSHIP ROAD Decide to Keep Heavy Trucks Off Dirt Roads During Spring Season The Township Highway Officers‘ association at their quarterly meetâ€" ing in Libertyville recently decided to put an annual embargo on heavy trucks every spring from now on to prevent the roads from being cut to pleces, and not only making them imâ€" passable but also resulting in heavy expenses to the various townships in improving them. 3 ol # ‘ Heavy trucks, under this action, will be required to operate over paved roads during the time that the dirt and gravel roads are soft, when the frost leaves the ground. e ts There were about 60 road officials at the meeting, which was held at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, A general interchange of ideas on how to improve roads was the order of the day.
