Jack Van Ryder, who is called the "cowboy" artist, will be the guest of honor and an exhibition of his water colors, ink sketches, and paintings will be shown. Mr. Van Ryder will stay with the Witherells during the week and his pictures will be shown at the Duncan studios at an exhibition beginning Monday, November 12, and open to the public. Mr. Ryder is a true rancher of the Southwest. His work was high- ly praised after his one man show in the Montross Galleries in New York City and is remarkable because Mr. Van Ryder is entirely self-taught. Marcus D. Richards, 1240 Tower road, returned early this week from a ten days' trip to Atlantic City.

Mrs. Andrew MaclLeish, vice presi- dent of the Board of Trustees, pre- sided at the meeting in the absence of the president, Merritt Starr. In com- menting on Miss Baker's report, Mrs. MacLeish recalled the fact that as a young mother she had attended the college classes, and said "It was in this college that I found the most in- teresting thing in the way of learning and thinking and searching that I have ever found, and it has always been to me one of the most worthy things that I know anything about. I believe in it from the bottom of my heart." Financial Status Good A most encouraging report on the financial status of the school was given by Fred A. Cuscaden, treasurer of the Board of Trutees, who opened his re- marks with the statement that the col- lege is rapidly nearing the point where it can be called a "million dollar insti- tution," and proceeded to give the fig- ures to back up his statement. Dean John E. Stout of the School of Education, Northwestern university, and a member of the board of Trus- tees of the kindergarten college, spoke briefly of the relationship between the two institutions and suggested four reasons for the steadily growing repu- tation of the college. "It attracts a superior type of young woman; it sends its students out with an inquir- ing, open mind and a desire to learn, which is one of the marks of leader- ship in an educational institution; it gets enormous returns on the money it spends; its president and members of the faculty are recognized as lead- ers in their respective fields in a day when it is difficult to keep up with the times, to say nothing of being ahead of them." Miss Baker's annual report gave the enrollment for the vear as 814, and the significance of this number may be realized when it is compared with the enrollment of 196 students ten years ago. Growth Along All Lines "There has been growth along all lines--in faculty numbers and a broader curriculum, in the enrollment in college and children's school, and in physical equipment," said Miss Baker, "but most significant are the establishment of a special department for the carrying on of parental educa- tion and the raising of the standard of teacher training to three years in order to meet the increasing demand for teachers with this more adequate preparation. ; "The fact that the enrollment has held its own in spite of the change is most encouraging and should indicate a permanent increase when the effect of the increased number of third-year students shows in the enrollment of 1929. As a matter of fact, the effect of the new ruling is already felt in the numbers returning this fall for the third and fourth years--more than double the enrollment of any previous year in these classes." The general appreciation on the part of school boards of the value of this additional training is shown in the (Continued on Page 58) - Ne rey
