MISS SPEAR READS.

BETTER HEALTH WEEK.

On Friday, January 15th. in the Normal School Auditorium, Miss Edna Spear, head of the Department of Reading, gave an interpretation of Richard Wagner's opera "Lohengrin." When Miss Spear stepped before the audinee. the iiiiinediate silence was a tribute to her. After B few explanatory words in which she explained the dramatic qualities "f th.' great opera, she proceeded with her reading. Straightway the characters of the beautiful story appeared before tin- expecant assembly. Fair Elsa, "a vision of pure loveliness" and her mystic champion, the evil, though lovely. Ortrude, and her weak husband all were there. Silence throughout the reading showed a lull measure of appreciation. The fluttering of a handkerchief could have been heard. \n.l when th.' tale was brought to its .\quisite dote, ;, sigh ran through the audi.•nee like the soft beating of the swan's wings as he bore the knight away to "stern st duty.'* It was ,1 niaslerk rendition which sueneeded because of two persons, Wagner and v '"".-ir.

On Krida.v morning, January 14th. Miss Helen Draper announced the Better Health pin-ram for the week of January 17 -24, and gave a very clever, interesting and profitable talk on the "Purpose of Better Health Week." she submitted the follow ing: Rules for Our Health Game. 1.

She was born at Frederieton, the capital of Mew Brunswick, and educated at the Frederieton High School and Normal. She tailghl in several grades and then specialized in Manual Training. As a result of her spe cial interest in summer schools she was given the position "!' corresponding Beere tarj Eor the Maritime Summer School of Sciei held ;it Halifax. Frederieton, Yar mouth Normal Schools and t'harlottetowu, Prince Edward Island. Even though her hobby, a- she says, is woodwork, she has other interests as well because in addition to the special course in Manual Training she has also specialized in Agriculture, Physical Training and Physi ology. Miss Millican is very pleased with the mild winter of the South which is the iirst she ever experienced without seeing frosl continually on the pane. She has always thought that the South would l>t< a land of silk and monej if people had not .so much coal to Inn as they do in Canada. We feel' especially fortunate in having TOWN NEWS. sll(.|, ;| competenl head of this department as . ;«ne of her trirls Rays: "She knows as much» Mrs. Lama Anderson, mother of Dr. An-jas a man."'
