Evanston, Friday even- ing, March 2, New Trier and Evanston swimming teams will contest as an added attraction. ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES New Trier runners and sprinters are preparing for the annual track meet of the suburban high schools of Chi- cago, to be held at Patten gymnasium, Evanston, March 10. The honor of holding the suburban championship will be fought for at this meet, athletes from Oak Park, La Grange, Deerfield, Evanston and New Trier High schools competing. Athletic Director Omer of Northwestern university is exert- ing every effort to make of this meet an unqualified success as it is the first time the suburban meet has been held at Northwestern, previous meets hav- ing been staged at Bartlett gym- nasium. : BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Friday (tomorrow) night, Morton and New Trier heavyweight basket- ball teams will meet on the latter's floor at 8 o'clock. At the conclusion of the game a first-class orchestra will provide music for those who may wish to dance. At Oak Park, Friday night, the lightweight aggregation from New Trier will try conclusions with the Oak Park lightweights for champion- ship honors. This will be the last league game of the season, providing New Trier comes off victorious. Should they lose, it will give them a tie with Oak Park for the suburban champion- ship and necessitate playing the latter again to decide the issue. The stand- ings of the teams in the first division of the league are as follows: Team Won Lost New Trier aise vive 10 0 Oak Park. . cui ovis +i iv/vn 9 1 FVARSTON. ov aleiy sc siete sivas 6 4 Riverside. .... values 4 6 LACK OF ATTENTION DEPLORED Students of New Trier High school absorb knowledge nor do they seem to understand the exceptional ability of New ..Trigrs. principal, Mr. H. E. Brown, an educator of National repu- tation and a recognized authority upon subjects pertaining to the proper training of the young of the land. Mr. Brown is performing a great work at New Trier and exerting every possible means to make of study a pleasure. Men and women prominent in the affairs of the Nation are pre- vailed upon to visit New Trier and deliver lectures of sterling worth upon Moving pictures and stereopticon slides are used to illustrate many of these lec- tures, increasing thereby their value ten-fold and making of them an agree- able relaxtion as well as an intellect- ual feast. ° Lately, however, deplorable lack of attention has been in evidence at Gen- eral Assembly during the course of these talks and lectures. Many of the students show absence of respect and courtesy toward the speakers by em- ploying the time of the lectures to busy themselves-in the study of some lesson, talking to a neighbor and even coughing and sneezing, and in other ways evincing slight interest in the purpose of the Assembly. It is hoped that future lectures and entertainments will receive better at- tention and that each and every one will hereafter strive to derive some benefit from the General Assembly. It is suggested that every student at New Trier read the "Basis of Success," appearing in this issue, and profit thereby. At last week's meeting of the Tech, F. C. Windoes, physics instructor, gave a lecture upon the X-ray, ac- companied by practical demonstra- tions. At next Wednesday's meeting George A. Harper will lecture on "Business Men." Victor Rohrbach, who is in Evans- ton hospital suffering from heart disease, recently underwent an opera- tion and is now rapidly convalescing. Friends who wish to visit him at the hospital will be gladly admitted. Tuesday afternoon of this week the Dramatic society staged miniature re- production of two Irish plays. The production were much enjoyed by the faculty and members of the society. Homer E. Cotton, musical director at New Trier, will be in attendance at the National Music Supervisors' convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the week of March 19. Luther Hammond has resigned from school. He is making an extended visit in the southland. William Clore has been compelled to absent himself from classes the past week because of ear trouble. It will probably be another week before he can resume his studies. James Stewart has returned to school after an extended trip through the south with his family. The Elizabethans had a most enjoy- able meeting at the home of Miss Helen Cresap, Kenilworth, last Friday afternoon. Principal H. E. Brown was elected president of the Chicago branch of the Grinnell college alumni at a recent meeting of that organization. On or about March 30 the Dramatic society will present three one-act plays. Rehearsing is now going on. Es Ep Ey HUMPTY DUMPTIES TAKE FALL You know the story. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall and Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Well, Hump- ty got the bump of his cold storage life yesterday when he fell off the wall of high prices and hit the tobog- gan for seven cents' worth. In other words, eggs dropped to 33 cents and it looks as if they were going still lower. Housewives, cheer up. While there is life there is hope. EEE EE Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Bowman of Elm street are staying temporarily at the Plaza hotel, Chicago. They will short- ly go south. ; "Modern Woodmen of America Table of Rates.
