The scene was laid at Miss Minchin’s (Mary Schad) boarding school and was woven around the life of the Little Princess (Mary Kline) who, after losing her fortune and birthright was consigned to a room in the attic. DeSales Walsh took the part of Ermengarde, the Princess’ friend and Margaret Alteander- fer handled the part of the Scullery Maid to perfection. Twenty-four young people took part in the performance and they all acquitted themselves very creditably. To Miss Maude Baer goes most of the credit for the success of the play, as she had personal charge of‘it from start to finish. The neat sum of $110.00 was realized from the entertainment. PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW DAIRY HEAD. — Professor Carl W. Larson, for five years assistant professor of Dairy Husbandry at The Pennsylvania State College, has been appointed professor of Dairy Hus- bandry, in charge of that work to suc- ceed Professor VanNorman, who goes to California as head of the University farm school and vice director of the State Ex- periment Station. Professor Larson was born in northern Jowa in 1881; was brought up on the farms in that State; graduated from the Animal Husbandry Department of the Iowa State College in 1903 and in 1907 took a post graduate course in Dairy Husbandry. In addition to his dairy farm training, as a young man, he has been a practical factoryman in butter factories in south- ern Minnesota and cheese maker in southern Wisconsin. In 1907 he went to The Pennsylvania State College. In ad- dition to the immediate supervision of the manufacturing work of the department he has done much teaching, has pub- lished bulletins on the study of Pennsylvania butter, comparison of the various moisture tests and the Taylor method of making butter. He has conducted an educational butter scor- ing contest: He has shown himself an inspiring teacher and acceptably efficient as an associate in the administrative work of the department. The leadership of the dairy work in the State of Pennsylva- nia has fallen into good hands and we are sure that all interested in the ad- vancement of Pennsylvania dairying join in the approval of this selection by the trustees of The Pennsylvania State Col- lege. ii is Counci.
