A prince's banner Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes. A craven hung along the battle's edge, And thought, Had I a sword of keener steel- That -blue blade that the king's son bears-but this Blunt thing! -he snapped and flung it from his hand And lowering crept away and left the field. Then came the king's son, wounded, sore bestead, And weaponless, and saw the broken sword, Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand, And ran and snatched it, and with battle-shout Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down, And saved a great cause that heroic day. -Edward R. Sill. A Few Things A Student Remembers From The First Grade to The Grave When one looks upon the definitions that have to be memorized, and the dates and places that must be learned is it any wonder that there are so many failures among all classes? The definitions that come under mathematics I put first upon my list, mainly because of their weight: A straight line is any distance between two points. Parallel lines are lines that can never meet until they run together. A circle is a round straight line with a hole in the middle. Things which are equal to each other are equal to any- thing else. A small sample of the definitions from Grammar is quite enough when one sees such as: Gender is the distinguishing nouns without re- gard to sex. Adverbs should always be used as adjectives and ad- jectives as adverbs. Every sentence and the name of God must begin with a caterpillar. When they are going to say some prose or poetry before they say' the poetry or prose they must put a semi-colon just after the introduction of the prose or poetry. We come now to historical matters or historical remains. As one looks through an examination paper orvisits a history class he is im- pressed by the depth that the date-1492--is pounded into the American child's head. The date is always at hand but what happened at that time is quite another matter. The student, when in doubt, always manages to say' his l49Z. He also applies it. for anything from the in- vention of the steam engine to the number of miles of the earth's circumference. The Puritans found an insane asylum in the wilds of America. The Stamp Act was to make everybody stamp all materials so they should be null and void. Lady jane Gray studied Greek and 1' fy s 'J if 44 - .TQ
