The Glee Club returned last week from its, annual spring trip to the western part of the State. From Greensboro to Charlotte the musicians tell a tale of successful concerts, of ap preciative audiences, of hospita ble alumni every where, of recept ions, of a bai'vuet even, in fact a genuine good time. From the standpoint of the audiences the concerts were a decided success, the varions numbers of the pro gramme being encored time and again, often to such an extent as to exhaust the repertoire of the performers. , The Mandolin Club notably, which in the fall seemed rather a doubtful asset, was vast ly improved and never failed in scoring a Int.. 1-urtuer more, following the good precedent set in the last two or three years, the Glee Club not only made expens es but came out with a substan tial balance on the right side. The towns visited were Greens boro, Statesville, Hickory, Lenoir Gastonia, and Charlotte in order named. Sixth Number of Extension Series. The sixth number of the Uni versity Extension Bulletins has recently come from the press, but as yet has not been distributed 'I his bulletin is a handbook oil public discussion and debate, and is to be issued to all the public schools in the Stale. The hand book is divided into six sections, arranged according to their rela tivo importance. The first deals with the importance and value of public debate, and shows the ne cessity of early training in public speaking. The second deals with the preparation and delivery of a debate. The third contains model queries with brief outlines of the argument of each, and references. mm r..i.r. .: .. ... t i ue luuiiu viivcs a. nuniutji ui queries without outlines or refer ences. The fifth gives a list of debater's hand books, and names of agencies from which material for debate can be obtained. The sixth offers a model constitution with by-laws for high , school literary societies. The handbook is written clearly and concisely and will certainly be a service of much profit to high school debaters. DR. PRATT ON NATURAL RESOURCES. THE LOWLY HOOKWORM.

Smith, of the University of Pennsylvania, who first discover ed the hookworm in fhe United Slates.
