It under- mines the health of the youth and not infrequently necessitates the student re- maining to repeat a certain course, but over attention also forces one to dis- continue the work at the end of one school year whereas if the student gave less attention while in the class room and spent more time on his sleep he would not cause the instructor in charge of the course any discomfiture bv asking useless and difficult questions which of- ten times do not in the least pertain to the subject of sleep and at the same time he would undoubtedlv be liked so much by the facultv that they would encore him rebeatedlv and he could extend his high school course over seven or eight years instead of finishing in four and having such a narrow educa- tion. ' ' In the final analysis we can state on the highest authority that one should get just as much schooling as possible. NVhy, then, commit an act which would doubtlessly limit the child's high school career to a narrow four year course? Attention, the curse of the age, should be abolished at once before the lives of the generation are ruined beyond repair. Miss FAN ATIC ADVICE This page is edited by Miss I. Min Love Miss Love will answer any question or questions on any subject. It was only with great difficulty that we were able to get this talented young lady to give up a perfectly good job on the editorial staH of the St. David Daily Mudslinger in order that our gentle readers might have the unlimited op- portunity of learning to do the right things in the right way while out in company, so that they will know how to act at home. All inquiries must be addressed to the Advice column of the CANTONIAN. Ques- tions and answers will all be filed carefully away for future reference.

C.l-l.S. I I I THE CANTONIAN I I I THE LOST CHORD VVith apologies to the author of the origrinil Seated one day i11 Assembly VVe were hoping that Principal Bourn VVould ZIIIIIOIIIICP a musical program And our hopes were not forlorn. He did, and they started in playing, But that didn't worry me, 'l'ill they struck one chord of music Not found in any key. It floated o'er the building VVith fears of a lingering' death, And trembled away into silenee Before I recovered my breath. It seemed the harmonious echo Of f11lly a dozen sawsg And it punctured the absolute silence YVithout Elll apparent L'ZlllSC. It linked all peculiar feelings Into one grand eleetrie thrill. And altho' I'm not a hit nervous, I feel the tingle still. I seek, tho' I seek it vainly. That o11e lost Chord of pain XVl1iCl1 eame from witl1i11 the piano And drove me quite insane. It may he that Death's friglit-angel IVill speak in those tones again. Those tones so superbly fitted To startle the souls of men. Those tones rent the piano asunder, They left not a rivet or nail! It may he that elsewhere than heaven I shall hear that grand mixed wail. J. Triax lirrr. Devon Flrosrf. Alfey, 4' 1 ipfzzfcato Vfrtuoao G Ey'H 1 i 7 ' Boo. l3ff5Q1.gp p III 153 III
