"It is hard to imagine a cultured

yesterday.
"Any cultured and educated per-
NT son should instinctively know the

cnly one language sees the world
with but one eye."
"The practical value of the study
of French for women is limited to
teaching,hresearch work, and study.
Of course, it is of inestimable value
in travel," he said.
"To acquire a good knowledge of
French, it is necessary to have at
least six, or seven years study," he
continued. "The entire world, the
United States excepted, requires a
I minimum training of six, or seven
years, and at least ten years for
the teacher."
"However, it is rather remarkable
how much progress American stu-
dents are making with the study of
French and foreign languages."
"They are able to achieve probably
as much in four years as most
French students do in six years.
This is due to the fact that the
American student is older, and has
harder work to cover in a shorter,
period of time. The French stu-
dent is much younger when he be-
gins the study of the language.be-I
In conclusion, Mr. Pargment
stated, "it is my personal opinion,
as a result of experience, that wo-
men are just as good teachers as
men.

PAGEANT DRESSES
GIENOUT TODAY
Costumes Cut Out by Committee
and Sewed by Women Who
Are in Dances.
"We expect to finish giving out
the Pageant costumes today or to-
morrow," said A d a Blackman,
chairman of the costume commit-
tee. "Using the corrective room in
Barbour gymnasium for our head-
quarters, we have ordered mater-
ial and cut out patterns for 150
I costumes required for the pageant}
in three weeks."
"We are giving the sewing direc-
tions to each group," she continu-
ed, "but with the exception ofI
those in thetBallet andeGavotte,
every woman must sew her own
costume. The Ballet costumes are
being borrowed from this year's
Junior Girls' Play, and some of the
Gavotte costumes from last year's
Junior Girls' Play."
Miss White Plans Costumes.
Miss Blackman modestly declin-
ed to take any credit for the de-
signing of the costumes. "Miss
White really planned all the cos-
tumes," she said. "We only follow-
ed her suggestions." "Some of the
women think they are too realis-
tic," she laughed. "Those in the
primitive group, for instance, are
not at all pleased about wearing
the dull brown that we thought
represented pre-historic wearing
apparel."
"The costumes I think most ef-
fective," she said in conclusion,"
are the flowing blue robes trimmed
in gold that are to be used for the
Early Renaissance dance, and the
stiff, shiny, red ones that are worn
by the modernistic group."

MEMORIAL 1EXHIBIT
HELD THISMO T
Lizzie P. Bliss to Be Honored
at Chicago Museum of
Modern Art.
In memory of Lizzie P. Bliss,
sponsor of art who recently died in
Chicago, the Museum of Modern
Art of that city is opening an ex-
hibition during the latter part of
May which will run throughout the
summer months, in whichhthey will
present to the public the private
collection of Miss Bliss which she
bequeathed to the museum, as well
as several valuable pieces whichshe
left to other organizations of art.
Comments concerning the death
of Miss Bliss have emphasized the
se: ious loss which the art circles
have experienced in losing her in-
fluence and sponsorship in art. Her
work in establishing a permanent
museum of modern art has been of
unique significance.
The collection which she has ac-
cumulated includes no less impor-
tant names than those of Toulouse
Lautrec, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and
Gauguin. She has also done con-
siderable work towards collecting
important pieces of the American
artist, Arthur B. Davies.
MINNESOTA-The senior women
at Carleton exceed the men in
scholastic averages. They lead the
class with 1.75 average. It was also
shown that students increased
slightly in their grades the longer
they remain in school.
