GIRL, FOURTEEN,
ENTERS UNIVERSITY
Had lo Get Special Peimlt Be
fore lowa Would ddaill Her.
Bonaparte, la.—Chaminade Stustman
Blackford, who recently celebrated her
fourteenth birthday at her home here,
is said to be the youngest student of a
university. When she applied for ad
mission to lowa university this fall the
university authorities informed her
that she must get a “special permit”
from the state board of education. The
board granted the application, but with
the stipulation, although she had
passed high school, she must take an
■entrance examination before she could
be enrolled.
It has been said that the board
thought and hoped that she would fail.
If so they were disappointed, for Cham
inade, passed with honors a very stiff
examination, which included mathe
matics, Latin, history, science, physics,
English composition and rhetoric. So
there was nothing for it but to admit
her.
If all goes well she will receive her
A. B. at eighteen, and, if she pursues
her studies, her M. A. at nineteen.
Until the age of six Chaminade did
not know a letter. She was not a
strong child, and her parents hesitated
to send her to school. She began her
studies at home with her mother as
teacher. She never was forced to
study, and at times when she ■was not
feeling well she would go for several
weeks without opening a book. Never
theless, at the age of eleven she took
eighth grade examinations and entered
the high school. In her second year
Ihere she was so far ahead of her class
that at her professor's suggestion she
left her class behind and finished the
three years in two, graduating last
spring.
Chaminade is now a strong, healthy
girl, full of life and fun, and unafHict
ed with “nerves.” She is an excellent
pianist and has given public recitals
of classical ifiusic. Educators say she
is a perfectly normal child, but with a
wonderful memory.
“I do not see anything remarkable
about what I have done,” she says. “I
don’t think I am particularly bright.
I just waut to make good.”
Found Stony Heart.
Ridgefield, Wash.—Ernest Flawkins,
while engaged in hunting for Indian
ari’owheads and other Indian curios at

along the shore of Lake river, picked
up an unusual curio having the ap

fant It is said by old timers that In
dians had a burying ground near where
the petrified heart was found. Each
year as the water washes down the
bank more relics have been found and
the burying ground is exposed.
Quebec’s Fortifications.
The fortifications of Quebec are obso

river, but were not armed or manned.

MAKES ’EM YOUNG AGAIN.
Professor of Zoology In Chicago Uni
versity Rejuvenates Animals.
Chicago.—The result of fifteen years
study of the evolutions of life are con
tained in “Senescence and Rejuvenes
cence,” a 500 page volume from the pen
of Charles Manning Child, associate
professor of zoology in the University
of Chicago.
“Certain experimental methods have
made it possible not only to follow the
physiological changes in some of the
lower animals, but to learu something
of their nature.’’ Professor Child writes.
“These animrils grow old. as do men,
but they are also capable of growing
young. The process of aging can be re
tarded or inhibited experimentally and
old animals brought track to a condition
of youth and made to pass through the
life cycle again and again.”

THE WORK THAT MUST BE DONE
It’s not the work you’d like* to do,
The work that pleaes most,
Or represents the best in you,
Of which you really boast;
It’s work that’s done from loyalty,
That means a triumph won;
And one’s best work must ever be
The work that MUST be done.
For time and tide wait for no man,
And Duty’s clarion call
Rings out; you do the best you can;
You give your heart and all;
Though oft the heart is full of tears,
And hidden be the sun,
The world wid judge you, it appears
By work that Must be done.
What though the task heartbreaking
be, >
Or scarce seem worth the while,
The pahited clown you sometimes see
Might reason in this style.

And thus he does, as you must do.
