WGJ No blast of trumpets, n0 roar of cannon heralded his biitheand yet, in the solemn stillness of that hour, a prince was born: not by virtue of royal blood or lineage, not by virtue of power and possessions, but a prince by virtue of that nobility of good deeds well done-avhieh, thank God, is Open ln every man. His name was William Woodward. His father, with real love for liberty, espoused the cause of the Colonies against Great Britain, and he fought in their armies during the War of the Revolution, while his mother was descended from one of the best known families of the day. He passed his early childhood and youth in his native town, but with the coming of young manhood, he felt the irresistible callof the new Westand one day in early Autumn, he mounted his horse. and started off on his long journey across the great mountains of the Alleghanies to seek :1 new home in that new land. From the headwaters of the 8 Ohio River, near the city of the present City of Pittsburg, the journey was made by flat beat down the river, which the Indians called the ttbeantiful river? lined on either side by rolling hills, covered from their base to summit with the great forests aflaine with the royal colors of the autumn. It was only a short time before his arrival here that the name of the little settlement destined to become his home, had been changed from the artificial title of Losantiville t0 the more heroic name of Cincinnati, although the settlement itself comprised but a few 10g houses, on top of a bluff overlooking the river toward Kentucky. Mr. Woodward used the lumber from the flat boat which brought him down the river for the construction of his first home, and lived in it for several years. The year following his arrival at Cincinnati, he purchased a farm, which in- cluded the land now embracing the territory bounded by Hunt street, Liberty street. Main street and Broadway. It was part of this property which later he gave to the city for the establishment of that great school, which has ever since borne his name, and Which will continue for future ages. as a monument to his thoughtful unselfishness. In 1803, Mr. Woodward married Miss Abigail Cutter; she was several years his junior, being but seventeen at the time of their marriage. Her father, James Cutter. was one of the pioneer settlers in this Vicinity, and was the owner of a large tract of land known as Cuttefs Woods, on part of which the present City Hospital stands, and which extended as far west as Linn street. It was on this farm while at work that Mr. Cutter met his death at the hands 01' the Indians, leaving his daughter Abigail quite wealthy, as wealth was measured in those days. This added to the money which Mr. Woodward had made through successful farming, tanning and trad- ing, was the beginning of the really large fortune which Mr. Woodward amassed before his death. It was in 1816 that the old home, which he had first built, was given up for a commodious brick dwelling house, considered quite remarkable for its time and often spoken of as tiWoudwardis Palace? It was erected at the northeast corner of Main and Webster street, with the front facing Webster, having an ornamental porch across the front with a stone walk coming from the street, bordered with flowers and shrubs. This building is still standing, although its beauty has been sadly impaired by the flight of time, and additions and changes made on its exterior. Mr. and Mrs. Woodward had several children born to them, but unfortunately none lived beyond infancy. Who knows but what this fact may have had considerable weight in influencing their minds to make that great gift toward the cause of education, which has made their names memorable in the history of the city? We must remember too, that matters in educational lines in these days were vastly different from what they now are, and it is hard for us to realize conditions as they stood in those days. With us, public schools now occupy the foremost place in the land; in those days paid education in private schools was considered the thing, and free education was rather looked down on. As early as 1819, Mr. Woodward had plans for founding a school where poor children whose parents were unable to pay for their education, as was the custom in those days, might receive an education without charge, thus itlaking them better citizens and patriots. Mr. Woodward was fortunate in having a legal adviser, who was a man of great wisdom and sound judgment, and under the direction of Mr. Samuel Lewis, Mr. Woodward arranged during his lifetime for the beginning of his great wurk. At that time he was worth in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million dollars. which was a much larger sum in proportion then than it is now. In 1826. on the 21st day of November. Mr. Woodward conveyed seven acres of land on the east side of Sycamore street, north of what is now Hunt street to 9 two trustees, one of Whom was Samuel Lewis, and the other Mr. Woodwardis nephew, Osmond Cogswell, for the purpose of iiforwarding and maintaining a free school for the education of poor children of the said City of Cincinnati, in reading, writing, arithmetic and English grammar. It is pathetic to note that the signature of Mrs. Woodward to this deed is made by her marketruly, she gave to give to others that which had never been given to her. A short time later, the Woodwards added to their former gift an acre of ground in the center of the square, bounded by Sycamore, Broadway, Woodward and Franklin streets, which was the site of the old school, and which is now partly covered by the present building. The first school edifice was a plain two-story brick, containing but four rooms with a belfry, the bell from Which is still preserved and adorns the auditorium in the present magnificent structure. Mr. Wood- ward drew away the first load of earth in excavating the cellar in this building. It was a great day for him, and a greater day for the educational history of this city, when on the 24th day of October in 1831, this building was first opened with appropriate exercises. It sometimes seems strange that more of our public benefactors do not adopt the wise plan of seeing the results of some of their good deeds during their lifetime, and not wait to have their plans carried out after their death. In 184-1, the city having grown considerably, :1 third story was added to the building of 1831 to meet the increase of the rapidly-growing school. In 1859, it was found necessary to construct a new edifice altogether, and that beautiful building which all of us remember and wllich some of us attended was completed and dedicated. It was considered the most remarkable example of Gothic architecture west of the Alleghanies, and was always an object of in- terest to visitors. So strong a place did it hold in the affections of its graduates, that many tears were shed in real sorrow when it was torn down a few years ago, to give way to the great structure which now adorns that spoteone which is really beyond the power of language adequately to describe, so dignified and pronounced in its architecture, so excellent in its construction, so complete in every detail. In our day benefactions for the good of mankind come thick and fast. in sums that bewilder the brain and stagger the intellect; we become accustomed to liherality, and generosity no longer surprises us. but we must remember that for those times, the gift of Woodward Was not only large in amount, but most unusual in characterefor that reason all the more honor to his great name. And what is the lesson of his life? It is the God-like spirit of unselfishness, the desire to help, to uplift, to bless; the doing of good deeds, not mere dreaming of them. His reward is not only a noble monument of imperishable bronze, not only this magnificent school bearing his name, but the perpetual influence of his life and works upon untold generations passed and yet to come. Yon his spirit ever lives, In the hearts to whom he gives Dearcr gifts than fame or gold, Rich with blessings yet untold; Royal benefactor thou, Loyal sons and daughters now, Hail thee dead yet living lnu; Honor thee vnvli year anew, Strive like thee some good to do.

L131 FEAST it was; and a prolonged feast it will be. Now that our rapacious appetites have been satisfied, let Lis review the courses and consider whether our etiquette has been in keeping with our breeding; and if we have made ourselves ludicrous in the eyes of our hosts, let us mark the incidents. FIRST COURSE. We are an historic class. A few of us can lay claim to membership in the last night school class to leave Old Vl'oodwurclf' and all mu claim member- ship in the first to graduate from the New. While we feasted, the scene for some of us changed four times. From ltOld Womlwzml we went to the Third Intermediate, and from there to ltNew Woodward; all in the Short period of live school years. We had our beginning when two classes in eighth grade work enrolled October 8, 1906', the one under Mr. Harrell, at the Fourth Intermediate night school; the other under Mr. Willey at the Third Intermediate night school then temporarily located at the WM Woodwardtl building. Our ages ranged all the way from sixteen to fifty. Among us were HOIHC preparing to study medicine, some contemplating law, and many having 110 special purpose. From these two classes there were only six who entered the :mulemie department of the East Night High School and completed the four-yenr course. They were Benkeser, from the Fourth Intermediate, Winkler, Huet'ner, Sehmid, Miss Zix and the writer from thld Woodward. The rest of our graduating class came in mostly at the beginning of the Second Course in October 1907: i. 6., at the beginning of the real high school course. The work of the two elementary night school classes thus organized con- sisted of a study of the subjects usually given in the eighth grade of the element- ary school. In February, 1907, the night school classes; at Woodward were moved back to the Third Intermediate building, which had been remodeled after the tire of the previous fall, and was more suitable for night school purposes than was nOld Woodward.g On Mart-h 6th, at the close of the eleim-ntm-y night schools, the two eighth grade classes, one from the Third Intermediate, the other from the Fourth, were transferred to the Second Intermediate school building on Ninth street, where night high school was then being held. Here a three months, preparatory course was given. It was here that the most of us first met Mr. Harrell. From him we heard the cunning of t'ussius. the nobility of Brutus, the ruin pleadings of t'alpurnia, the funeral speech of Mark Anthony. Through him we saw the sour-faced Casca, and the artful Deeius. With many of us it was the first interpretation of Shakespeare; and now whenever we listen to Shakespeare, Mr. Harrell is always one of us. This course served to pick up the strands of :1 broken purpose; to whet our appetites, as it were, and prepare us for the courses which were to follow. SECOND COURSE. F our months had elapsed since the last course; and perhaps it was well that such lapse of time did intervene between courses, or else we may have 29 been attacked with mental dyspepsia. We were taken in charge by Mr. Alex- ander and Mr. Porter, who saw that we had a bountiful supply. X was served to us in unknown quantities and we received a plentiful portion of Latin hash. The dryness was relieved by u good serving of Literature, washed down by glacial streams from Dryer. Mr. Frost, who occasionally came in to see how we were getting along and to tell some of his ttsnappyh stories, left us as principal and was succeeded by Mr. Schwartz. THIRD COURSE. This course was served at the Third Intermediate building, 213 was also the next. What a relief it was to get away from the poorly heated and dimly lighted rooms and crowded conditions found at the Ninth street building and to have the use of the large. eommodious, well lighted and properly heated rooms of the Third Intermediate! As we gathered around the board we noted that some of the old familiar faces were missing. This was to be regretted as we had formed a strong friend- ship for many of the missing ones. We were to get some real Latin. It was served a la Caesar. We read the ambitious and overwconfident Helvetii; their allies, the Boii and the Aedui. Mr. Alexander was again our host and was very liberal, seeing to it that none left without having had the full portion allotted him; no chance for escape. Physiology stood us in good stead; and. by observing its instructions, we felt able to stay for the remaining courses. FOURTH COURSE. Through a little knowledge of Physics, we overcame our social inertia and organized as Juniors. Planes were served us at different angles. Latin was served a la Cicero, and we devoured it with a relish. While we had not had much to do with the Seniors, we did not want them to go without having learned something about us; so we tendered them a fare- well reception. In return for this we were invited to hear them deliver their Orations in the Gymnasium; quite an honor, indeed. At the closing exercises we were presented with the school Banner, and given to understand lhut this represented the reputation of the school; we were told to preserve it by all means. This our representative promised that we would do, and in an eloquent speech, outlined what wetas Seniors, would do the following year. FIFTH COURSE. Then came the crowning course of the whole feast. New Woodwardii was to be the tinal scene of our glorious repast. Everyone seemed to have partly satisfied his appetite, and a good feeling prevailed. Even the staid Mr. Siehl at limes emitted a spark of wit. We had become connoisseurs. Where before one or two were able satis- factorily to serve us, it now required the work of five. The Germani were so insistent on their particular pungent dish, which offended the zll'islool'atit' Romans. that they were given a room to llwmseh'es and placed in charge of Mr. Schrader, under whose careful attention they soon became 2t prosperous colonv. Mr. Ralston showed where the choisest morsels lay. Solids were served in every conceivable shape. Latin 0 la Virgil. We were wont to overthrow the gods of the Trojans. but Alexander held us aloof; and he showed us that even theirfailings leaned to rirhmis side. Mr. Thomas brought in that odoriferous dish that has been the iaughing 3O stock of all ages. We knew he had tried his best to keep it untainted. yet serve it as he would, we recognized it 21.x the same old article; whether it assumed the form of the Hartford Convention 01' the Revision 0f the Tariff, we nibbled at it. and from all indications. apparently enjoyed it. On one 00 zaision. I saw OtDonnell take his portion; not content with what had been allotted him, he turned and tool; the hall McCarthy lett. slipped it between the pages of his note-hook and. 1'e1'11a1'king that this was the stuff that grew richer with age, shoved it into his pocket. During Geumeh'y revitalion, too. some of 11s have gone to the 1111111'1l and helped 11111'5el1'es to more 11ti1'e1: than we eonhl get away with. A most ludicrous sight, indeed! As for Literature, it has been the bread of the feast. Without it the feast could not have been. We have witnessed the Assassination of Vamer 11nd the Trial of Shylneh: we have been snowhonntl with Whittier; we have searched with Evangeline and traveled with Irving; spent Saturday night with Burns and Christmas with Dickens. And who of 1111. watching for the lluly Grail. has seen himself 111i1'1'ered to no avail? Nor felt the thrill of the leperk' 11102111? Has itended the feast but. left his plate untouched. Mr. Schwartz was proud of us. Uveaxiunalh' he brought visitors around to see the Seniors I11 t1'11'11i121l l11ee7es we were handed many rhetorical bou- q111'1. and told what a el Jl'lntlH tuture awaited the man with a liberal education; but, like 11111111 oi the propositions, the proof was left to the student.

The Woman of To-morrow LBJ 3432 CLASS ESSAY Ll?! VERY ERA brings it problems for solution and upon the wise determination of many of these problems depend conse- quences of momentous importance. Such a problem, and one affecting the very basis of civilization-the homeiis that contained in the question, ttWhat will the woman of tomorrow hefty, In seeking an answer we must study the woman of yesterday and of to-day. Of all the anomalies which the progress of civilization presents, none is more striking than that of the history of woman. In the ancient world her lot was one of extreme oppression. Where man was a bigot and barbarian, there woman was a. slave; where man was little more than a human clod, woman was a, drudge in the field; but lmlny where man has hewn the way to governmental and religious freedom here woman has become a leader of thought, and has been accorded a pesition in society com- mensurate with her worth. But, m0vement and progress are not synonymous terms. In evolution there is degeneration as well as regeneration, hence, only work that is in accord with the highest ideals of womanls nature is conducive to the development of her higher qualities and t0 the advancement of her sta- tion in the social order. In order to learn whether Woman Suffrage is in the line of advance, we must know whether the movement to obtain it has thus far blended itself with those that have proved promotive of womanls progress and that of government. It is supposed by some that the agitation for Womzm Suffrage, which has been so industriously stirred up, has won to its side a major- ity of the thinking women of this country. But this is not true, :15 i3 shown by opinions expressed by some of the most prominent women of our time. Mrs. Richard Watson Gilder said ttI believe giving women suffrage would he a backward step and entail far-reaching evil results, without any compensating good. The past fifty years have wrought more change in the conditions of life than any other previous period. The growth of religious liberty; the temper- ance movement; the opening of the professions and trades to women; the sudden advance of science; the expansion of mind and the social works fostered by free governments; have all contributed to place man and wmnum and es- pecially woman, upon an elevation from whence looking forth into the future, they see :1 new heaven and a new earth appearing radiant in the distant Vision. To this change the suffragists call attention and Hay, ltThis is, in great part, our work.u But, as a matter 'of fact, the suffrage movement has had hut little part in the matter. How absolute is that dividing line between womanis progress and womanls suffrage, we may realize when we consider what the result would be if we could know with certainty tomorrow, thnl women never would vote. Not one of her charities, great or small, would he crippled. Not :1 woman's college would close its doors, not a profession would withhold its diploma from her, not :1 trade its recompense. N at a single just law would be repealed or a had one framed. 32 Not a good book would be forfeited. Not a. family would he less secure in its domestic happiness. There is no great opposition to a wunian earning her own independence in any lawful calling, nor to the organized means employed hy women fer'pre- testing against the wrungs suffered by great multitudes of their sex. Nor is there any protest against the claim that women have equal rights with men. Rather, they are aeeerded the sacred superior rights by which they have the easiest work and the largest share of all the most agreeable and desirable enjoyments of this life. But the Woman Suffrage movement employs the wrong mode to attain the right object. The right object suught is, to remedy the wrongs and relieve the sufferings of their sex, the wrong mode is that which aims to enforce by law insteadof by lHVl'. It is one which assumes that man is the author and perpetuator of all these wrongs. and that he must, he restrained and regulated by constitutions and laws. as the chief and most trustworthy methods. Women have all the power they need to remedy the wrongs complained 0ft and yet they do not use it to that end. The men of 0111' age. and especially of our mnntry, are not only willing, but anxious to provide for the good of our sex. They will gladly bestow all that is just, reasonable and kind. Why not take the shorter course and request that men do for us that which we could not do better for ourselves if we had the ballot. ln demanding equality, suffragiats assume that there is not and has not been equality. There ean he no greater mistake, or one that indicates a coarser apprehension, than when women, seeking the right of suff'age, take it an an offense against their- natut'al equality that they are not allowed to help govern the world. It is as if the gentle Iliignunette and violet should rise in protest against the regal dahlia. when they are in truth a great deal more potentially regnant tlienmelyes. What do these women ask, but to he weighed in the gross balance of force, making nothing of that higher, liner nature hy which God experts them to flavor the world. In the view ml the suffragette. woman must govern. she must go into the fight, she must hruise and better herself-what is she equal to if not equal to man? If women could but see what they are doing now; what. superior beauty and power they possess: and how far above equality with men they rise. when they keep their own pure atmosphere of modesty and their field of peace: how they make a realm into which the poor bruised fighters, with their minds scarred with wrong, their hates. disappointments, grudges and hard worn ambitions-niay enme 10 he quieted and civilized. they would be very little apt to disrespect their se-ealled wmnanly subordination. Such a position signifies anything hut inferiority. With the steady improvement of machinery and in education, the wife and mother ean he more and more relieved from work, but, the home depends as much as ever upon her love. her skill, her eare. Let us honor our nwn natures, exalt our nwn opportunities, have and lead our own lives: and so hless the world and the republic through proteetwl homes. It lies with us to prove that education. instead of causing us to attempt work that helungs even less to the cultivated woman than to the ignorant, is fitting us to train statesman who will he the first to do us honor. The American Repuhlie depends linally for its existence and its greatness, upon the virtue and ahility of American womanhood. If our ideals are mistaken 0r unworthy, then there will he ultimately no I'epnhlie for men to guyern 01' defend. Woman is to implant the faith, man is to eanse the Natienls faith to show ilsell in works. More and more duties overlap, but they cannot heeenie interchangeable while sex continues to divide the race into halves of what should become a perfect whole. Woman Suffrage 33 aims to sweep away this natural distinction, and make humanity a mass of individuals With an indiscriminate sphere. Louise Homer said, llThose Who call themselves Suffragettes are making such a noise that I fear there is danger that the public may forget that opposed to these few is the great majority of woman- kind, proud of being women, and who glory in doing well those things which an All-Wise Creator assigned as woman's part in life? The woman of tomorrow will not be a militant suffragette nor the glittering icy heroine of Ibsen, she Will not be the new woman at all. She will be the only kind of woman that God planned. She will be the great, complete woman, a woman not only of brain, but of heart, a woman not only of depth, but one with the sunshine of life emanating from her soul to cheer the way of others. She will he the woman that Shakespeare, not Ibsen, pictures. Shakespeare saw the true woman. He saw Beatrice, for instanceethe Beatrice so beautifully de- picted in Much Ado About Nothing? She had a wealth of human sympathy in her being. She had heart; she did not always just reason, adding up sum after sum of icily-wrought splendidly null syllogisms. But she makes those beautifully quick calculations in which her heart aids, and those spontaneous considerations for others that we all so much love. A man can build a mansion And furnish it throughout; A man can build a palace With lofty walls and stout. A man can build a temple With high and spacious dome, But only woman's hand can build That precious thing called ll lHome. vb DOROTHY MUELLER. w Etna in mpmuria $rmp2r Emrhinma ll?! FRANK A.

EARLY t' TRISLER, A LBERT SC IIWARTZ. 34 The Armed Peace LBJ N these enlightened days of the twentieth century, there is no longer need for discourses upon the horrors of war and its in- efficacy in the settlement of international controversies. Time was when no one thought to question the right of a nation, in a matter of dispute, to determine the issue of justice by an appeal to the sword. ttThe proud pomp and circumstance of glorious warn was ever an attractive subject to poets and painters, until philosophical dreamers, if you please, began to see visions of the time when nations should beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; and when the confusion of tongues should be dissolved in the union of hearts? Like most expounders of revolutionary theories, they had to bear the scoffs and jeers of a world blind to the injustice of war, its monetary losses, the losses sustained by industry, and that other great loss, which has defied the attempts of any man to compute, the irreparable loss of the lives of millions of men. The world was fascinated by the flashing of polished weapons and flying banners and the tramp of victorious armies. And in its ecstacy it failed to see the pictures darker side. It saw not the soldier, gasping out his life on the lonely battelfield, no living friend near, his mind filled with thoughts of loved ones never to be seen again on earth. But now the Visionary partisans of peace begin to see the fruits of their labors There IS an ever- increasing desire among men that universal peace shall he assured for all time. Even the militarists agree that war is expensive and that peace is highly desirable, but they differ from the peaee-promoting organizations in their method of assuring it. They believe that peace can be assured t0 the nation only by building up an army and a navy so powerful that no other force can stand before it. While the sovereigns Of all the first rate powers exchange friendly notes expressing hopes for continued peace and prosperity, national armaments grow apace, and we see, as one writer so aptly puts it, A crowd of royal peace makers, strolling down an avenue lined with Iyddite shells and twelve-inch guns? This plan of the militarists is in theory not without merit, for who can deny that where a nation is so powerful that no other can successfully oppose it, such a nation will enjoy uninterrupted peace? But is the plan feasible? Has any nation ever been able to accomplish it? The army of Alexander. and later the martial power of imperial Rome, probably approached nearest to it, but even these fell before a conquering foe. England in our own day is finding it impossible, without bankrupting her people, to carry out her program of builds ing up a navy that shall be in strength twice that of any other. The militarists of our own country tell us that we must provide adequate defenses against foreign invasion; that we must be prepared to protect ourselves against attack from external foes. What nation to-day thinks of attacking the United States? Does France, or Germany, or England think of invading; us? Not for a mo- ment. Indeed, there Will he presented to Congress for ratification at its next regular session a treaty between the United States and England providing for settlement by arbitration of any controversy that may arise between them, even though a question of national honor may be involved. 35 The sons of Mars argue that this sentiment may change and the time come when any one of these nations will be ready to attack us. They say that a con- flict between the white and yellow races is inevitable, and that we must be pre- pared for it should it fall to us to bear the brunt of the struggle. If the conflict must come, may some power grant that it be not on the battlefield. The modern rifle in the hands of an ignorant but cool-headed Chinese soldier is every whit as deadly as in the hands of an American college professor, and the consequences that would follow the triumph of the yellow race are too awful to be contemp- lated. God speed the day when any dispute between these races shall be settled, not in war, where brute force alone prevails, but in a tribunal where civilization and learnng may prove their superiority over barbarity and ignorance. Alarmed hy the terrible predictions of the wur-scare disseminators, our Vow gress yearly appropriates millions upon millions of dollars for new defenses. It is a singular fact, and one that has of late gained notice, that whenever a bill for appropriations for the army and navy is pending in Congress, we hear of some nation making a move that can mean nothing but war against the United States, and there are not :1 few Who believe that the origin of these rumors will be found not far from the camps of the advocates of greater armaments and those who are financially interested in the building of battleships and the manufacture of the aeeoutrements of war, Thus our government has been led on, until in the year ending June 30, 1910, we spent for the army and navy two hundred and eighty-two millions of dollars, and one hundred and sixty millions for pensions from past wars, makingr a grand total of four hundred and forty- two millions. Think of it! This amount represents nearly seventy per cent of the total expenditures of our great nation, expended in preparations for war and the payment of expenses incurred by wars in the past. This outlay, immense as it is, might be considered justifiable, if it secured uninterrupted peace, but it does not. The increase of armaments, far from in- suring peace, only fosters suspicion and distrust. The motto of the militarists is ssIn time of peace prepare for war? In other words, have your forces ready and waiting to rush into battle at the slightest provocation when national dignity is offended, without regard for right or justice. This is a wrong principle, as will appear when applied to individual Citizens. What man of them will dare to say that more die in quarrels in communities where the carrying of weapons is prohibited, than in the mountains of Kentucky, where every man is a walking arsenal? 01' Who Will declare that the only way to preserve law and order in the commonwealth is for every man to go about armed to the teeth? It is generally admitted that the mechanical strength of Great Britainls navy is superior to that of our own, but any attempt by the United States to inuke its navy equal to that of England would only result in renewed activity on their part to exeel. And so with all other nations. If then the nations mm not he made equal in lighting strength. there ought to be some means of relief from the tremendous annual expenditures for things military which work no change in the relative military rank of nations. The only course lies in an agree- ment between the great powers for the limitation of armaments. Can it be done? We have only to turn to the example of our country and Great Britain on the Great Lakes. In accordance with the treaty of 1817 the navy of each mnntry on the lakes betwaen the United States and Canada has since consisted of four shins. their size being prescribed in the treaty; and never has either side had occasion to regret this art. What was accomplished here on a eompnmtively small scale r-nn also be accomplished on a world-wide plan. The L'nited States. should encourage this 36 plan for securing peace, for here it was that the Pilgrims, animated by a spirit of liberty, came in search of that freedom which they were denied at home; here too it was that the Quakers seeking peace Came to found their City of Brotherly Love; and here it is that many come to-day to escape the onerous military duties imposed upon them in their native lands. All of these elements of character which actuated our forefathers and brought them to our share have been blended together to form the American citizen, who entertains a public opinion concerning peace which can not but bring closer the time when we shall send around the world, not a fleet of grim, death-dealing leviathans of war, but a delegation of our citizens, educated and progressive, representing what is best in education and industry, and all the arts of peace, to demonstrate that ttPeace hath her Victories no less renowned than watt.u Let every man in this fair land of ours labor to exterminate uthe violent brood 9f battle, sprung from the dragonls teeth sown by hate, and as our country has been first in war, so let it be first in peace, and hasten the coming of that day When the angels in the sky again shall sing that glorious song of tt Peace on earth, good will toward men?

One evening at the Ninth streethuilding, while we were wishing for something to happen to break the monotony, he came in and gave us this one on the value of education. A youngr lady, who was fortunate enough to be sent to college by her father. at the close of school, returned to her Village home for the vacation. Dur- ing the summer she renewed acquaintance with her old sweetheart. Quite nat- tumlly, the first moonlight night he took her buggy riding. It didnit take him very long to come to the conclusion that while she was at college she had certainly learned to use iwordsf The climax was reached when near the end of the even- ingis pleasure, she said, 'You put me in mind of .1 Venus de Milo. Of course, he thought it a. very fitting compliment and thanked her profusely. However, the next day it worried him somewhat because he didn,t know the real meaning of Venus dc Milo. So he walked two miles to a doctofs office to look it up in a dictionary. Much to his chagrin he. found it to be ia statute without armsf Now boys, do you see what unexpected opportunities one can embrace when he has :1 liberal education? L. 3. Bio.

The story told is of a ttfairylady, ias She was willed by the peasantry,-wlm lived in her castle 0n the Island of Shalott. In her high towers she set, spinning in web of wonderful fineness. Hanging before her on the wall was a magic mirror in which were reflected the scenes that occurred on the highway leading to Camelot. These scenes formed the subjects of her weaving. But at no time does she desire to follow any who are reflected in her magic mirror, until, one day she sees in it the figure of Sir Lancelot riding hy. Immediately leaving her loom she went to the river, entered a boat, and floated down the stream towards Camelot. She sang as she neared the city of her desire, but, scarcely had she passed the first house by the waterside, when lEinging in her song, she died. We, like the Lady of Shalott. are leaving; the magic mirror of the sehoolroom, and are setting forth on lifels highway, following the ideal as personified in Sir Lancelot. Each of us is striving to attain Camelot. Our school year has drawn to its close. Many of us are saying good-bye to school life for the last time, hearing with us a grateful recollection of the East N ight High School. N ight after night we have met, and those associations which bind us one to the other e-eloser now than ever beforeewill never be forgotten. They will go with us through life, and will form an important part in our individual experiences. T0 manyof us the education we have obtained at the East School, will be our only capital in beginning life. Whatever of wealth and honor we may here- after win, should in a great measure, be attributed to our school. Let us then ever remember our school with affection and gratitude. May we always feel :1 noble pride in those who have so wisely and generously placed the means of education within our reach. To the School Board of the present year, and to those who have before this time labored so earnestly to make the Cincinnati Night High Schools what they are, and t0 Superintendent Dyer, we extend our sincere thanks. To our prin- cipal, Mr. Schwartz, and to the teachers, we wish to say that we shall remember thellfil with grateful appreciation for their hearty and continued interest in our we are. And now, my classmates, we shall soon separate, never again to be united in the sehoolrooml We shall soon seek different paths, some of Which may be veal? rough, others comparatively smooth, but all tending toward the highest goa . On our journeys let us ever hear in mind the motto: Forwardlli When we fail, as :ll times all men do, let us remember that he who would win must labor for the prize. All cannot have the world's success and its applause, but all can have that peace of mind, the reward of true success. which depends upon the earnest effort of each individual. It seems that we have the embryo doctor, lawyer, journalist and engineer in our vluss; to them we wish great achievements, May the lawyers win all their cases, the doctors cure all their patients, the engineers build marvelous bridges, and the journalists make our class known in both song and storylll So now. good-hye! In parting, let us remember that it rests with us to make famous the Class of 1911, and to bring honor to the Night High Schools of Cincinnati. HELEN C. MCCABE. 41 To the Class of 191 l W N behalf of the teachers of the present graduating class, we take the ES 23 opportunity, olfeeed by the allotment of space to this article, to I 69 present our veledietory t0 the members who are about to go forth 6 a into the world of larger activities; and of extending; our most sincere mtg best wishes for their future success, in the various vocations which may be chosen. It is with the greatest pleasure and grzttiiiezttion that we look back upon the years of delightful association together, and we congratulate ourselves and them that, in all our relationships, during that time, as teachers and students, no disturbing thing has ever arisen to mar the harmony of spirit existing so constantly between us. This unity renders the parting more dill iicult and inspires the wish that, were it possible. 0111' academic year might be prolonged to many times its present short span of eight brief months. The present senior ClElHS lltlS displayed qualities and won achievement, of which its members may feel justly proud. It is the largest class that has ever been enrolled in the academic department of the East Night High School. In fact, its enrollment was such as to require, for the first time in the history of the institution, a division into sections. Yet in spite of its large membership and sectional divisionieireuinstances so often conducive to friction and dis- sentione-a most wholesome spirit of harmony has steadily prevailed. A fact contributing to this harmony has been the strong class loyalty, which has so conspicuously marked the present clues Its members, actuated by this sense of loyalty, and recognizing the principle that the Welfare of the whole must have preference to that of the individual, have seemed to realize the necessity of seeking the welfare of the elass us a common end, and have subordinated every personal difference and selfish consideration to the paramount interest of the class as :1 whole, thus precluding any of those faetional strifes which so often create bitterness and render disagreeable the lust tluys of schoolmates which, of the entire course, should be the most pleasant in order that they may constitute fond memories in future years. Another quality, manifested by the class of 1911, gratifying: alike to prin- cipal and teachers, has been the diligence, in the preparation and reception of prescribed tasks. Many have labored under great difliculties and have been hampered by various adverse circumstances. Yet in spite of such obstacles most have evinced an activity of interest, an eagerness of attention and :1 care- fulness of preparation which will be found nowhere excelled. It muy be further said to the credit of the class of 1911, that notwithstand- ing its excellent work in the regular courses. it bus. nevertheless, found time and opportunity to engage in exercises and enterprises outside of the prescribed curriculum. During the year it has arranged and conducted two formal debates upon questions involving difficult and extensive research. The arrangement and presentation of argument, by the class representatives. would have done credit to debaters of higher institutions. Among the most notable achievements of this class and one which will take its place in the annals of the East Night High School as :m imperishable monu- ment to the enterprises and :lbilily ol. the present class has been the promotion and publication 01 an annual memorial book. crystallizing and preserving in permanent form the life and Spirit of the school, during the year that is closing. Subsequent vlusses will no doubt continue from year to year this publication and, profiting by the experiences of predecessors, may improve the character of the work, but none mm ever rob the present class of the laudable credit of having been first to bring out such a book, and to set a precedent for all successors. 111 concluding, therefore we desire to extend congratulations upon the mzmy execllenees, manifested by the outgoing Senior vlnss and upon its achievements. 1th trust that its members upon passing into a larger sphere of life. will continue to exercise these qualities which have characterized them here, and will realize, in whatever lields they may cast their respective lots, the fullest measure of success as their well-earned reward. THE FACULTY. Editorials Q We have in this number a brief account of a man whom WC regard as an exponent of success in the highest sense of the word, and his biography has led us to ponder 0n the meaning of success. What is its measure? In these material- istic days we are apt to regard as successful the man who has accumulated :1 fortune, but a bank account is a poor standard by which to gauge real greatness. Among the worldh truly great, we hnd the names of no merely rich men but, on the contrary, the names of many whose financial careers were failures. Their claim to a place on the worlds roll of honor lies in the fact that they have done something for their fellow men. Take for example.Wiliiam Woodward, the founder of Woodward High School. His fortune, while at considerable one for the times in which he livvci. would yet he insignificant compared with that of even a moderately wealthy man of today. Moreover, living in :1 day when gifts of the nature of his were both unusual in character and startling in amount. yet he was one Of those whose mission in life is to give and we of the present day in looking at this monument to his memory marvel, not at the fortune he possessed, but at his generosity. his keen insight into the needs of future generations. Soientists tell us that sound never dies, that 21 word once uttered goes echo- ing on through space forever. Surely it must he the same with :1 good deed, and, When the names of our masters of finance are forgotten. countless thous- ands will rise up to call William Woodward blessed, as the influence of his precious legacy is felt to the end of time. The decision to offer The Rostrum t0 the public was reached only after a great amount of deliberation. Realizing the enormous labor necessary in get- ting out a book such as this, and how little time Night High School students had to devote to such a venture, most of us gravely shook our heads when the matter was first broached tn us. The mere thought of the task appalled us. A few brave spirits, however, were not discouraged and kept working away untii finally their enthusiasm caught the crowd, and the Class of 1911 decided to undertake the task. However, the cnnsidemtion that mainly induced the class 10 undertake the work of getting out an annual was the fact that the establishment of the East Hehooi in the new Woodward building was an epoch in the history of the Night High Schools. What more fitting way was there to mark this epoch than to 5.30! out an annual, and what class deserved the honor of doing this more than the Muss of 1911, the first tlass to graduate from the new building? 43 Another consideration which influenced our decision was our wish to in- spire in others a determination to better themselves, for we are sure that there are many who, if they only knew the benefits to be derived from a course in the Night High Schools, would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity and every High School graduate means for lineinnati a better citizen and a consequent elevation of the moral plane of the community. We owe thanks to the students of the Woodward Art Department ldayl for working out some of our ideas. It is to he regretted the evening class in free-hand drawing was not conducted this year. Then we might have had our own talent exclusively for the art work in our book. However, the cover design was worked up by Miss Rosenstein, and the several plates bearing his name were drawn by Mr. Kenney. One of the institutions of Rome in the day of its power was the rostrum or platform from which public speeches were delivered. It derived its name from the fact that it was ornamented by the rostm 0r beaks of captured ships, often in the form of rostral columns. The rostral column consisted of a base surmounted by a pillar, from whose sides projected the captured rostra, while on the base were inscribed the battles in which they were taken. This is the source of the name, uThe Rostrum. It is the platform upon which we stand to address the people of Cincinnati in the cause of higher educa- tion for those who are obliged to seek it at night. Our rostral column is decorated with the memories of difficulties encountered and defeated,and we aim to have HThe Rostrum stand as a monument to our victories and an inspiration to those who follow in the same path. Lo, we have departed from the ways of our fathers. Yea! we have given ourselves a vigorous education. Didst find thyself? In a few years we will wonder at our effrontery in writing these pages. Since we have blazed the way, it is quite likely those J uniors will develop an appetite. We advise them to start tax animal right now!

JENKINS, 13. 5.1MTELLERRIE Juniors Q9 Our Class histnry begins with September, 1908, when some hundred of us entered the freshman year of E. N. H. S. School opened up :15 usual in the Second Intermediate building 011 Ninth street, but owing to the enormous increase in attendance, the school became so crowded that we were obliged to seek more connnodious quarters. We obtained the use of the Third Intermediate 011 Woodward, to which we shnrlly moved. Our 011155. which was unusually large, was divided into four xeeliuns, in eharge of which were Messrs. Porter. Brown, Davidsun and Webster. Our studies were necessarily limited in number to the more important subjects- Algebru, English, Physical Geography and Latin or German. in every one of which we soon became greatly interested. The routine of ohms work was broken occasionally during the year, by inleresling talks on various topics, given us by some of the prominent men of the city. Then, too, shortly after the holidays. many of us 11lle11ded fur the first time, the annual school thmee. which proved :1 most charming affair and estab- lished 11 greater feeling of fellowship among 113. The eonlmeneement exercises held at Mush- Hall, in the latter part of May were given unusual impressiveuess by the presence of Ex-Presillent Elliot, of Harvard, who delivered :1 most interesting address. The Evening School Chorus did creditable work and, we trust that before Very long it will he assisted on these occasions by :1 night school orchestra. On the Saturday following the closing 01' school, the E. N. H. 3 pupils turned out in large numbers to attend the first annual school picnic at t'mley Island. It was :1 grand success and promised to become one of the popular features of the school. The fall of 1909 brought e11'r class together again to begin the second year's 49 work. The indications were thal this would be our 1:le year in the old building, for llu' new Woodward was Hearty completed, and was expected to be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the following year. Many of the 01d familiar faces were missing, but the ranks were filled by a. now set of boys and girls, a most welcome addition to 0m- eluss. We resumed our study of the languages and algebra and began the delightful subject of general history. About Marrh lst, having finished with algebra, we took up the more diHicult subject of geometry, completing the first book that year. .Xl the commencement of the present year our fond hopes of the year before were realized, for school opened up in the beautiful new Woodward high school building. It is u magnificent structure and one of which We may well be proud. Our studies are Geometry, English, German or Latin, American History and Civics. Shortly after the opening of school, our class organized and chose as its officers, Mr. Feldman, President; Mr. Stemler, Vit-e-lh'esident; Mr, Nicholson, Sct'retury, and Miss Liebenberg, Treasurer. The important event of our class this your was the dance we gave to the senior class in the Orpheum ballroom. For weeks we were planing to make this the most successful Juniordunce ever given. Everything did pass off beauti- fully. the Seniors 2111 enthusiastically agreeing that never before had they had so delightful a time. One night. just before t'hristnms. we spent a happy hour in the auditorium where Mr. Si-hwnl'iz, 0111' principal, had arranged a. little entertainment for us. There were several excellent selections by the Woodward orchestra and Wood- ward quartette; solos by Night School pupils and several clever little sketches. On the last night of the your. the school banner was solemnly turned over to 0111' t'lnSS liy the Seniors, in be cherished and faithfully guarded during the mining your. And now that we have but one short year before us until 0111' school days shall ccusc, We look forward to thth year with anxious anticipation, and with the resolution to make it the best and crowning year of our High School course.

WEIST ALPHONSE RIESENBERG EMIL STEMLER O. J. FELDMANN RAYMOND T. FELL STANLEY NICHOLSON 5'2 Compensations of the Night School Student Ll?! The impression is general in this vicinity that the student, who by cir- cumstances is compelled to attend school at night in an effort to acquire an education, after his labor during the day, is under a great handicap, because of the limited time he has to devote to his studies, and because of the physical weariness which is the natural result of his day's work. But is the fact that he must labor during the day and attend school at night a disadvantage which has no commensurate advantages? Are not the net benefits derived from his night school work commensurate with those of his more fortunate day school friend? It is my purpose to show, that While he is greatly handicapped, there are also many compensations for him. The night school student is compelled to go out into the business world at an early age after leaving the elementary schools. He Obtains :1 position, and is engrossed with the difficulties of his new line of work, and probably is not concerned with the future for several years, by which time, if he is am- bitious and thoughtful for therfuture, he has probably selected a trade or pro- fession to pursue in later life. It is then he realizes how deficient he is in the matter of education and desiring to equip himself :15 well as possible for the hattle of life. he finds that the night course is the only course available for the furtherance of his plans, so he enrolls in night school He is obviously in earliest and sincere, or he would not put himself to the trouble and inconvenience of attending night school. But let us see how he is proliting by thiq extra effort. In his work during the clay he is coming in contact with the more practical things in life. and is early acquiring that business acumen which is indispensable to sllct'ess. He is familiarizing himself with business methods. He is becoming self-relient, sell-sustuining, and is outlining plans for the future, and he enters the night school with a view to prepare and qualify himself for the profession or trade he has selected. The night school offers many courses. such as the Amulemiiu the Mechanical. and the Engineering courses. which afford him opportunity to selet't those branches that will contribute most to prepare him for his chosen work. Thus, knowing definitely in advance just what line of work he wishes to pursue, he has a very distinct advantage over the tiny school pupil. The night school student has acquired during his daily work knowledge of the requirements of the trade or profession he contemplates selecting and he also has knowledge of his own ability and limitations. By reason of this. he is in :1 position to make a judicious selection of the work he intends to follow, and having selected it. he can thereafter concentrate his energy and efforts upon perfecting himself in that particular line of work. It is manifest that a student WhO attends school voluntarily, as the night 53 student does, and he who is imbued with an earnest, sincere desire to attain a position in life as high as his ahilily will permit, will work with tireless energy to master his work, and consequently will reap more benefit from his night efforts than an indifferent student who, having more time, but less energy, enthusiasm and ambition, attends school merely because his parents desire it, and wastes his time at school. It is true that at the end of a day of hard work the night school student is weary and disinclined to further effort, and to go to school then is an admitted hardship. but is he not compensated by the increased will power which he must exercise to overcome this hardship, and is not his self-respeet increased when he succeeds? Being in actual business life, and under the supervision of others during the day, the young man readily sees that his superiors occupy their positions of trust and influence by reason of their energy, and their example will likely be an incentive to exertion, and being sufliciently interested in his future to attend school at night, when he might be enjoying himself with friends, he will probably make the most of his opportunities, and derive from his night work all the benefit that can possibly be obtained. We therefore see, that while it may be true that the young man who at- tends night school works under a severe handicap. he has. nevertheless, many compensations; an insight into practical affairs, which enables him to more wisely choose his lifeis work: :1 stimulus to greater concentration upon it, and the incentive and example of those already doing the worldk work, with whom he is associated; then in this, :15 in other matters, we find an example of the truth of Emerson's law of compensation. ALPHONSE RIESENBERG, lH. Clllll'lllllllllllc t'llU'lUlU'JU 5 MWLLER WE Two years have now passed since we began our studies :11 the East Night High School. Looking backward, we marvel at the rapidity with which the time has gone by. Having a definite purpose in view, we have all worked hard and earnestly, ever keeping our ttnoses to the grindstone. One-half 0f the period Of study necessary before graduation has elapsed. This thought is :1 source. of keen satisfaction to us, as we are looking forward with :l great deal of interest to the time when we shall he graduated. We may reasonably expect that the balance of this p0ri0d.will be less diflicult of com- pletion. We appreciate the fact that the studies will, of necessity, he more difficult; but our goal is almost in sight and we believe that this will serve us an incentive to continued and earnest effort. We agree unanimously that the past year has been 21 gala one for us. Get- ting a late start. owing to ilcluy in the completion of the new Woodward build- ing, we were obliged to extend our studies into the warm weather. The thought of this seemed like a hardship at first, but we were really surprised at the Cheer- ful willingness with which we kept up our attendance. Yet it is no more than could be reasonably expected of us. The congenial surroundings and many conveniences afforded by our new and beautiful school building, together with :1 slight indulgence 0n the part Of our teachers, who seemed to zipprcviutc our efforts, left us no excuse for doing otherwise. An occasional entertainment or lecture in the auditorium also assisted materially in lceepiiig the routine from becoming monotonous. We shall not, therefore, leave our class rooms this year without some feel- ing of regret, knowing, as we do, that we have derived a world Of good from our efforts, and whetted our appetites for more difficult work in the future. ALVIN O. WEBER. 'JI J: SOPHOMORE ACADEMIC CLASS It is with some anxiety that We undertake the task of compiling the history of the class of 1914. Not that we doubt our ability, but this class is remarkable in so many ways that we quite despair of doing justice to its good qualities- We have noticed in most First Year classes a deplorable tendency to humility: perhaps out of consideration for the other classes. The reader will notice that we are striving to overcome this fault. The Class 0? WM is remarkable for its high standard of scholarship as well as for its size. It is quite unnecessary to state here that if any of us remain in the First Year Class for another year. it will not be due to a lack of scholarship, but to love for our teachers. Of the two thousand pupils assembled in the new Woodward High School auditorium on the evening of October 10, 1910, about two hundred were there to run the entire gauntlet of the Academic Course, We had visions of stepping out of that same additorium four years later with diplomas in our hands and halos of learning above our heads. With this goal in View and with characteristic energy we at once made our presence felt by successfully organizing end maintaining the only literary eoriety in the East Night High School. Although organized after the Christmas holidays, the Emanon Society now has a membership of more than sixty. In the debate between the First Years and the Graduating Commercials, the de- eision of the judges was unanimously in favor of the First Y ear team. The subject was: Resolved, That Canada should have free trade with the United States. We had the negative side, always the more diliicult. The debaters who so distinguished our class were Miss Marie Lippert, J. E. Lynch, Richard F. Graf and Geo. W. Kleopfer. The course of study our class has pursued is the same as followed by most First Year classes. In Algebra the unique ways by which we have discovered the value of X have been quite astonishing. Our work in Latin and German has earned for us the commendation of our teachers, while the scientific knowledge gained from Physical Geography is unprecedented. Our intimate association during the year with Irving, Longfellow, Bryant, and Shakespeare, has materially 57 increased our knowledge of English. We look forward to our Second Year with hope, for great things may be pret dicted for the large majority of 0111' number who. wilh German 01' Latin to right of them, English to 1ch of them, and Algebra in front of them ttvolleying and thunderingh hun- succeeded in storming the heights of the First Year course, and 2111- roarly to press onward with a little clearer vision of the fmal triumph, the diploma and commencement night. May this vision grow clearer and clearer through summer vacation and the ensuing years, until it becomes a reality. AUGFHTA D. MILITZ. PAUL T. HOFFMAN.

Biologically speaking, it completes the chain of evolution from the first year of the commercial course through the last year of the academic course. The discovery is due to Mr. Schwartz, he having brought it to light and Classified it among his collection. TD speak more personally, our class was organized to enable those students who had taken the business course to go on with the academic branches and complete the enlarged course in one year less than il would ordinarily take to go through the two separately. In all humility we any that the first year Of the special class has been :1 decided success. The ttfirst night enrollment Of the class was not m: large as had been ex- pected. numbering only thirty-five. but with some few changes it has remained very close to this throughout the year. numbering thirty-four at the present time. This attendance record is due in part to the Committee on Attendance Mr. Flynn, Chairman-wwho receives excuses and explanations as to absence, before the absmw, nt ttMain 100? This committee along with others, has been decidedly uon the job.

The f'hlss meetings have been quite orderly, nnhody having been carried out on :1 stretcher, and the programs have gone off with Vigor and despatch. The Treasurer has managed to survive the trying ordeal of controlling the ex- pense account with :1 balance to his credit.

In October, 1909, we registered at the Third Intermediate School 011 Frank- lin street with great expectations of obtaining lucrative positions in the near future, of displacing the head bookkeeper at the oHiee and of delving soon into the secrets of some large nmnut'aeturing or retail concern. Our ambitions were tired to learn all there was to be known in the business line. We would not have to take our books home to work on the trial balance every night for a week. as some of our plodding friends do. We would not have to fear for a position-- every business man would want us when we had received our diplomas. How full of wisdom, how important we would look. sitting behind an imposing stack of ledgers and cash books tmost important of all hooksD, and giving orders to the office hey. . . . . Sweet dreams! The subjects studied this first year were Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, Com- mercial English and Commercial Law. At the end of the year. the teachers gave a reception for the Juniors and Seniors 0f the Commercial Department. The evening was delightfully spent in music, recitations and refreshments. The second year, with most of the old and a few new aspirants to com- mercial fame, we entered the new Woodward building, and alter inspecting it from basement to roof, settled down to learn more about debits and credits, notes and drafts, stocks and bonds. In January a permanent class organization was established with Mr. Joseph Cutter, President. and Miss Nora Keating, Secretary. At our next meeting We chose our class colors, blue euul white. The selection of a class p111 then created a long-toehe-remembered mntesl between the supporters of the triangle and circle designs. The triangle was finally adopted as the Official rluss pin.

The pin recalls pleasant associations formed at school, while the diploma i5 :1 silent reminder of the success of our efforts. We have come to look upon Commencement us only the beginning of our business career. When we entered the Commercial Department. we thought to reach the top rung 0f the ladder of success :11 a single bound, but for two years we have been learning to climb, and are still at the foot of the ladder. an We know the summit mu be attained only step by step, and when we leave school we shall be eager to take any position offered by which we nuly start our climb, and shall reach the top because of the fundamental principles learned in the East Night High School. 64 But with a bright future before us, we can not but feel that we are leaving this; school with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow. The relation between student and teacher has always been of such a. nature as to make every one of us regret that such connections are to be severed. We owe much to our teachers They have always striven to promote good fellowship and good spirit, and have made the instruction so interesting at all times, that the work was, in a measure, a recreation. Our future paths may diverge greatly; we may find Dame Fortune in dif- ferent moods, but no matter what the Fates have in store for us, we shall always find pleasure in conjuring up those pleasant recollections of the tiE.

Prior to October 10, 1910, the word had gone Jforth that there would be a hard Season's fighting at the old battleground, East Night High School, in the magnificent structure known :15 'tVomlwnrd High School. At the first call for volunteers they came flocking from every quarter of the city. ready for the l'my-aome to join this regiment, and some that. No matter to Which regiment they were assigned, all fought for the great r-uuse of education. While hundreds of these new recruits enlisted in the heavy artillery, in the mechanical and engineering; corps, others suueht to carve their way to the front with the lmtth-cry 0f l'Aemlemie Course.

The Class was organized for the yonfs work in October, 1910, at the Third and Fourth Intermediate Schools. Here we were grvnlllx' encouraged by our teachers and principals, who have inspired us to higher attainments, and to a recognition of a wider view of life, made possible hy education and the culture and refinement thereby gained.

LOUIS REUSCH. SPRING PREPARATORY CLASS The Cincinnati Night High Schools 5.?! In 1856, the Central Night School of Arts and Sciences, the forerunner of our night high schools, was established. For a considerable time there had been a growing feeling that the public schools then existing did not furnish anieient facilities for such scientific instruction as was necessary to furnish a hroznl basis for later technical training. This feeling finally crystallized and the ahM'e-mentioned school was established A three-year course, chiefly mathe- matical and scientific, was adopted. Vocal mnsie, drawing and literary exer- cises were also given. The school attracted students of an exceptionally high grade. of scholarship, many day High School graduates attending. It continued in session with marked success until the breaking out of the Civil War, when it way: discontinued. No attempt to re-establish such 21 school was made until 1868. In Novem- ber of that 3' 'ar. the Board of Education established a so-ealled N ight High School at the Eighth District building. G. A. Carnahan was principal. The school had an enrollmnet of 151 and employed three teachers. It remained in session ten weeks. The following year the term was extended six weeks and there was an increased enrollmertt, the total heing $62. The school was something of a dis- appointment, however, as the students were rather immature and of a grade of scholarship far below that of the students of the Central Night School of Arts and Seienees. A glance at the curriculum and entrance requirements showed plainly the caliber of the students enrolled. Students who had qualified for entrance into the grammar grades of the day schools could enter the N ight High Seluml. The subjects of the course were Grammar, Natural Philosophy. Algebra. Bookkeeping and the common school branches. The Night High School, such as it was, continued in session year after year, until by 187.1 lhe course had been so extended as to include the following suh- jeets: Arithmetic, Grammar, Penmanship, Draxving.Eloel1tion, Bookkeeping, .Xnutmny and Physiology, Physics, General History, U. S. Constitution, Algebra and Gmmeirj'. Students did not take all the subjects of the course, but only enrolled for such subjects us they thought would be beneficial to them. The eunrxes in Bookkeeping, Penmanship and Drawing were exceedingly popular. In 187.5. twenly-seven reeeiverl diplomats in Bookkeeping and the next year thirly-sM'en. In 1877. lil'ty-nine reeeived diplomas in Bookkeeping and Draw- ing, the following year forty-tive, and the year after thirty-seven. From 1878 on, there was a marked falling off in attendance, due mainly to the fact that inexperienced tenehers were being employed. In the fall of 1879, no night school sessions were held, but the following year the schools were re-opened. The enrollment in the Night High School for that year was 681. hut the next yenr there were only 488 enrolled. In Octoher, 188g, the Board appointed to lhe night schools only teachers of wide experience, and the bene- licial effect of this move was immediately noticeable. The enrollment for the Niehl IIigh'Sehool was 1.169. 78 The next year, owing to lack of funds, the night schools were not opened. Then followed a period of about ten years during which Cincinnati had no night schools. In October, 1892, night elementary schools were again established. The success of these schools was 50 marked that the Board determined to re- establish the Night High School the following year. This was done, the school holding its sessions in the Ninth District building 011 Ninth street near Raee. Hundreds of young men and women who for a period 01' ten years had been deprived of all opportunity for acquiring something better than the ordinary- eommon school education, now eagerly seized this opportunity of acquiring a secondary school training. In October, 1896, the Night High School was removed to the Second In- termediate building on Xinlh street near Main. Three hundred and thirteen students enrolled and at the Commencement Exercises held at the Odeon, Mareh 11, 1897, there were thirty-fmlr graduates. By this time there had been established a four-year course, including the following subjects: Stenography, Bookkeeping. Algebra, Geometry. Arithmetic, Latin and Drawing. The next year the enrollment was 317. In 1899, two subjects, English Literature and U. S. C0nstituti0n,were added to the curriculum. Of the 397 enrolled, thirty-nine were graduated. In October, 1900, two Night High Schools were established. the West School at the First Intermediate building and the East at the Second Intermediate building. W. F. Washburn was in charge at the West School and John Akels at the East. The two schools, besides continuing to offer the short take-what- you-please courses, which had been so popular in the past, also offered an ad- vanced four years' course of 198 hours eaeh. The. following subjects Were ine 'cluded in this course: Commercial Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, Algebra, GometryV English, Civil Government, U. S. Constitution, Latin. Stenngraphy and Drawing tFree-hand and MechanicaD. In 1901, W. T. Harris became principal at the East School. Physieal and Commerciai Geography, HistorLSpanish and German were added to the cur- riculum. The studies, to a large extent, were still optional, students choosing only such subjects as they felt would be beneficial to them. Students were expected to be present al school during their particular recitation periods only. The enrollment for the year at .the two schools was 833. Of these sixty-one graduated. P. A. Johnston succeeded Mr. Harris at the East School in 1902, and eon- tinued in charge for two yearx when he was succeeded by E. M. Craig. In 1903, arrangements were made to extend the term to eight months and the two schools received recognition as first class high schools from the Slate School Commis- sioner. This meant that their graduates in the a 'ademie course would be ad- mitted to law and medical schools without examination. In addition to the academic course there was at that time a two-year eonlmerieal course of two nights a week. The following year this course was lengthened and students were compelled to attend four nights a week. Those completing one year of bookkeeping and one year of stenography were given commercial certificates and allowed to participate in the graduation exercises which were now held at Musir Hall each year. The West School was removed to the Hughes building on Fifth and Mound streets, when it remained for three years. In October, 1906, H. G. Frost became principal at the East School and was succeeded in February, 1908, Irv Albert Schwartz. During the two years beginning with Mr. Frost's administration, the academic and commercial courses 79 were greatly strengthened. Students seeking commercial certificates were com- pelled to devote their attention to one subject for two years. Choosing either Bookkeeping 0r Stenography. The work in academic subjects became of so high 11 grade that the University of Cincinnati agreed to zu-wpt without examina- tion all work done at the two schools. The introduction of a systematic four-year academic course of study leading to an accredited diploma was :1 great boon to the Night High Schools. Instead of being a death-hlow to them as many feared, it was a new birth. From that time on the Night High Schools grew, not only in the confidence and rcsperl of higher institutions, but also in number and character of work done, The same was true of the introduction of the tWO-year commercial course in either book- keeping or stenography. It was found that a continuous course, arranged in an orderly sequence of topics or principles and running for at least two years, held students better and was altogether more profitable than short take-what- you-please courses. The commercial students had been, for a long time, flue- tuating and irregular, but when a full two-year course of hard work was ar- ranged, they became serious in their work, faithful in attendance and their num- her in a year or two increased four-fold. The year 1908-09 was marked by the removal of the West School to the new First Intermediate building. This was a most fortunate thing for the West School, for the enrollment was so large that the old building could not have aeeomodated all. At the East School, the term was begun in the old building, but after a weeks session, the rooms became so crowded that the school authorities were compelled to move the school to the Third Intermediate build- ing. This large building and two annexes in the rear were hardly found adequate. The removal of the two schools to the First and Third Intermediate buildings enabled the authorities to offer certain industrial courses for boys and girls and also to throw open the gymnasia to students for syslenmtie physical training. Many students availed themselves of these opportunities. The commencement exercises of the Night High Schools were each year at- tracting more and more attention because of the excellence of the programs. Those of 1908 were especially noteworthy, as there was present on that occasion as speaker, Charles W. Eliot, ex-president of Harvard and one of Americais foremost citizens. Formerly at the graduation exercises, all the music was furnished by out- siders. For the past five years the Evening School Chorus has furnished the music. This chorus meets on Friday evenings and is under the direction of Walter H. Aiken. Each year Mr. Aiken has been able to select certain soloists from this chorus, and these, together with the chorus, have furnished the most enjoyable parts of commencement. programs. In September, 1909, the new academic course of study which conformed more nearly with the clay high school course than the old course, was introduced. The adoption of this course was rendered necessary because of the yearly increas- ing number Of students that Hllm' from the day high schools. These young people, forced to give up their day high school course before completion, found the Night High Schools furnished excellent opportunities to them for the cone tinuance of their secondary school training. In May, 1910, 260 students were graduated from the two schools, the East Sclmnl having 159, the largest number ever graduated from a high school in Cincinnati. The night high schools were opened three weeks later than usual in the fall of 1910. This was made necessary because of the delay in putting in the light- 80 ing system in the new Woodward building, which was to be the new home of the East School. The opening of this magnificent new building for night school purposes, one of the finest, largest and best-equipped high school buildings in the world, brought about another great increase in the enrollment at the East School. Almost 3,000 students enrolled for various courses at this school during the past year. This number was about equally divided among the four de- partmentsiztcademic, commercial, industrial and physical training. At the W est School, W . C. Washburn, who had been the principal since the founding of the school, was succeeded by E. W. Wilkinson. The enrollment at this school also was much larger than that of the previous year. The list of graduates this year is the largest in the history of the Night High Schools, the East School graduating 166, and the West about 190. That this number will be surpassed next year is almost certain, for greater opportuni- ties than ever before will be offered and there will no doubt be many to avail themselves of these. t$ A CORRECTION Page 29. second paragraph, last sentence, should read: u From ' Old Woodward' we went to the Third Intermediate, thence to the Ninth Street Building, thence back to the Third Intermediate, and from there to the iNew Woodward,' all tn the short period of live school years. 81 ATHLETES: S In October 1908, owing to the large increase in the enrollment. the authori- ties were compelled to remove the East Night High School from the Ninth street building to the Third Intermediate building. This not only gave us :1 large, commotlious building, equipped with excellent heating and lighting appliances, but it ulsu gave students of the East School for the first time an opportunity of carrying on a systematic course of physical training. That there were quite 2L number of students who needed this train- ing and would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity was amply shown by the enrollment and attendance of pupils in this course. Two Classes of illmlll fifty each met every Friday evening under the in- struction of W. H. Tatuhe. Each class received one hour of class instruction Before and after these periods, students were allowed free use of all the ap- paratus. That this syslemutie training reeeirer'l in Class each week was ap- preciated was shown clearly by the entl'lusiasm 0f the students and their reluc- tance to give up the work at the end of five months. It was unfortunate that only the young men of the school were given advantage of gymnastic work that year. The following autumn about two hundred young men enrolled and were placed under the enre 0f Eckhardt Keller. These hays were arranged in four sections, two sections meeting on Friday and two on Saturday. Young ladies were given an opportunity of indulging in gymnastic Work at the Ninth street gymnasium. Quite a large number enrolled for this work. Mr. Keller not only carried on the systematic Class instruction of the pre- vious year, but also interested the lmys in track work. Truck teams were or- ganized and entered in the midwinter carnivals. Mr. Keller devoted much of his leisure time to the training of this boys, as he called them. M the ear- nirnls and in the Marathon run from Fort Thomas to the Y M. C. A. building our boys distinguished themselves. J. Kceshan, R. T roeger, S. Meyer and C. Fishhurn were memliem ol' the team that carried off second prize in the Intersclmlastic Relay, while R. Treeger, S. Meyer, H. Ludeke, H. Friedlin, C. Schmidlin and H. Rube mm the HCCOIId place in the Junior Relay. In June 1910, ml the Second Annual Picnic ill Coney Island. we held an out-door meet and field tlny. Despite the disagreeable weather on that day. the meet was quite :1 Hnec-ess and aroused great enthusiasm. With the removal of the school to the new building, increased facilities for carrying on systenmtie physic-nl training were given. Three of the hest-equipped school gymmlsial in the country were put at the disposal of the students. At the new Woodward we had the boyst gymnasium, 87 x 52 feet, having a run- ning truck with twenl'v-six laps to the mile, and the girls;, gymnasium. 7.5 x 50 feet. At Hughes the hays made use Of the hoysl gym which is 12:? .x; 56 feet 82 and has a running track of seventeen laps to the mile. In the three gymnasia ample locker and bathing facilities have been provided, there being shower baths and plunges connected wilh-each. At Hughes gymnasium A, E. P005 and his assistant have been in charge, while at Woodward Dr. Rcttich, Mr. Renter and Mr. Sahn looked after the boys., interests, while Miss Bronson and Miss Sauer looked after the girls. Two hundred and twenty young men and seventy-five young ladies have been enrolled in the Friday classes. On Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week the gym- nasia at Woodward were thrown open to the outside .public. About two hun- dred and twenty-five young men and six hundred young ladies availed themselves of this opportunity and were enthusiastic workers in the gyim'iasia. The girls in particular were. tlwilcl about swimming. Besides the systematic class instruction taken by all 01' the Friday night students, many of the boys again engaged in track events. At the Celt and F irst Regiment Carnivals the boys captured three seconds and one third. No doubt at the coming field day to be given hy the C. G. A. C. June 13, 1911, our boys will acquit themselves wilh credit. The interest shown by the boys in this meet is only second to their interest in the coming field events at the Third Annual Picnic 10 be given at Coney Island. The rivalry among the classes promises to be keener than ever. First prize in the Class Relay is an honor that will be striven for most strenuously.

Am : Z .m Our Night High School Chorus he The Night High School Chorus has been in existence for nearly five years. It is closing this yearis work with an attendance of close to one hundred. The Superintendent of Schools has often expressed the wish that the attendance of this class might continue to increase in such numbers that it should be forced to hold its rehearsals in the large auditorium oi Woodward. Remembering that there is inspiration in numbers, let each pupil work so that the desires of our Superintendent may soon be realized. The young men and women who are now giving up one evening a week to the study of music are doing so because they love the art. Those who have been in attendance at rehearsals have learned that it is not necessary to have a fine voice in order to make chorus Work effective. Sufficient skill and flexibility of voice are developed by all so that one not only may derive plea- sure himself from music, but also give pleasure to others The perception of melody end harmonious combinations, the power of distinguishng different airs and the preference for some over others are latent in most of us in infancy. But the sense of music as an. art, as a power existing within us to give utterance to emotions by sound, and etill more to form new combinations and create new melodies is undoubtedly of a later growth. Most of us will remember the time when this true sense and perception of music was first aroused within us, when the heart was first moved by sound, itwhen the serene spirit of harmony seemed to descend from heaven, and to enshrine itself within our innermost sanctuary? Herein lies the charm of the music of our high school days. Here it is that many who, for one reason or other, have been denied the privilege of singing in concert during past years, first learn to truly love the art; here, music is first awakened in our souls-not recognized merely as a voice from without, but us a part of ourselves-a sense, a. power of utterance, a living spirit born within us. It is here, in obedience to the promptings of this spirit, that the real musical edue cation of many begins. There is not a member of this class who will not, in after years, recall with pleasure the hour devoted to music on Friday nights. The chorus is made up not of musicians. but of young men and women who love music. Some, however, have no mean abiiity and many have left us to join more ad winced musical organizations. Your leader need spend no words with you to inculcate the dignity, importance and high moral power of the art which it is your privilege to study. These ere known to you as estab- lished truths and not ones to he questioned. He, therefore, is enabled to devote his energies to seeing that you comprehend the music you are studying. By this is meant not that you are merely able to read the characters, or understand the terms and rules of practicev-valuablc as this knowledge is admitted to be. You are called to a higher and more important activity. You are to be the judges, critics and arbiters of music viewed in its broadest sense. Yourjudgment with regard to musical ycompositions and performances is of the highest consequence, for though we grant that the great masters of the art twhose compositions you have been studying! obey only the inward voice of genius in their works, yet we may ask, for whom exists the whole vast apparatus of music which the civilized world has placed in array? For whom are We building our opera houses? For whom are their long train of dependents maintained? For Whom are our choirs educated? For whom was our Music Hall built? In a word, for whom first of all is music written and performed? The answer is, for such lovers of music as compose the chorus. It isto the lover of music, then, that the appeal is made; to him the composer and the performer equally look for sympathy, remuneration and fame, i. We believe that the main factor towards making this city hold its prestige among the cities of the nation, in matters musical, lies in the music of our schools and through the schools to obtain a diffusion of musical taste among the people. This will not be accomplished by exhibit- ing brilliant models of performance once 11. year, or once in two years. It may be asserted that the great artists who come to our May Festivals and Opera Festivals have done practically nothing for the formation of a popular taste for music. They may have raised the standard of criticism among the more wealthy, but their concerts are of no help to the massesi We might us well hope to raise fruit hy tearing a branch from a. tree and fixing it in the ground, as to' exr pect to create a popular taste for music by importing artists to give concerts or perform operas. The seed must be planted before the tree can grow; the people must grow up musical, and more classes similar to our Friday night class mustrhe established throughout the city. There is room for you in the present class. Will you lend your influence by being present during the com- ing year? Do you got owe this to yourself, to your school, and to the community in which you ive? ' MEMOIU JOCIUW ID...- FIng Pm1m A Plea for Leisure HQ We are living today in an era of conservation. Thei'inqst intricate and comprehensive of all is the conservation of human effort which permeates every department of human activity. We are doing tlS much in one tiny as our an- cestors did in :1 whole yw'. And yet, this condition has appeared not as by some spontaneous impulse on the part of the ruee. but it is I'nthe' :1 working out of nutn 'le sequences. Reviewing the history of society, we find there one continuous struggle of man attempting to free his mind from the pressure of self-preser Yntion; to make subsislenr-e certain; to reduce to :1 minimum the labor necessary to supply his needs; and, as an ultimate aim, to attain leisure. The desire for leisure is one of the most important factors in human progress. It is the incentive to invention. Aside from the lust for power, it is the force that has brought the productive powers of society to such :1 high stage of develop- ment. To meet the needs of society a certain amount of substance is required and it is the supplying of this substance that makes up our industries. Our factories are an outgrowth of man's needs and are secondary in importance to his existence. Prior to the development of our economic institutions and the nice organization of our present day industrial systenn a greater nun'iber 0f the members of society were required to meet its immediate needs. While we have made rapid progress in our productive powers, we have not allowed our eon- suming capacity to develop in the Sttllle ratio. It is this lack of balance that distnrhs the body politic today. Because of the wzistet'ulness and the unscientific methods of production. heretofore this balance has been more or less maintained, but with the practice of economy on t-n-ry hand, .x-m-iety does not consume all it can supply by keeping itself constant- ly employedl Consequently, many are forced into idleness in order that the supply may not exceed the demand. In the concrete. society has always presented two classes; one producing. the other consumingr without any etl'm't either direetly or indirectly toward production. Not only is this same order present with us totlny. lint there is a third factorethnt class which is forced into idlenese through the inability of suwiety to consume all it 2111 produce. Hence we have one class in idleness with a superabnndanee, another in idleness with an insufheieney and both are detri- mental t0 the welfare of any community. It is un illogical condition-uone that is inconsistent with the stage of civilization we have reached. Thus, in the nttempt to free his mind from the pressure of selfipreseri'zllion: to make subsistence certain; to reduce to :1 minimum the labor neeessnry to supply his needs: :lnIL to attain leisureenian has built; up an economic IJI'UtlUC- tivc machine so powerful. so gigantic, that. applied as it is :11 present. it threatens his own peace. Since our economic institutions are a logical means to an end towards which man has ever been striving their salvation lies in their being allowed to do for society as :1 whole what they are now doing for only a part. The stress and haste th:1t :1i'e so prevalent in our sot-inl organization are not an indication of :1 very high moral plane. With all the wonderful progress that has been made in the industrial arts and the abundanee of our natural resources. the procuring of snhsistenee should require less attention instead of more. Man should have more leisure. There are three visible evils accruing to our hotly politic that would be mitigated by the adoption of a proposition of this nature. First. it would be effective in maintaining :1 balance between the productive and consuming capacity of society. Second, it would mitigate the congested population; and, also its resultant evils to pubic health and morals. Third, it would permit the people to take a greater part in the affairs of their government, As to the first of these, we affirm that the inequality existing between the productive and consuming power of society can be adjusted by more leisure. The keen competition between nations for foreign markets and the accelerated increase in our productive power make it imperative that the consumption of our home markets be increased in the same ratio. To do this, it will be necessary to increase the needs of the individual by allowing him to give full expression to his culture. Give the individual more leisure and culture will follow. They go hand in hand. This will sound absurd; it will appeal to you as visionary, but the records of our last census establish it as a truth that where there is leisure there is culture, and where there is culture, there is a greater consumption. What is true of the individual in this respect can be applied to society as it whole. What to the cultured mind is a necessity, to the uncultured mind is a remote luxury. Thus maintaining an equal ratio between these two functions, it would be possible to keep all of society constantly employed. Second, the congested population in the cities and the resulting menace to public health and morals are a forced conditionean unnatural one. The congested population is a part of our economic construction. It is necessary in the present order of things. With decreased hours of employment, it would be possible for the populace to secure abodes more remote from the industrial centers. Man naturally seeks to live close to the soil. This is borne out today by the increasing suburban population. Congested population done away with, public health and morals could be readily improved. Third, it would permit the people to become more active in the affairs of their government. The trend of the body politic has ever been towards pure democracy. Admitting this, it must also be admitted that the clamor for direct legislation is not an unusual thing, but rather a link in the natural order of events. The persistent demand for direct legislation is :1 healthful indication -it shows an observant citizenship. If increased legislative power is to be put into the hands of the people it is necessary that all become versed in the elements of legal knowledge or else the plan will not bear the fruits for which its advo- cates hope. If the average man is to devote more time to governmental affairs, it is necessary that the time he now devotes to providing for his subsistence be reduced. The average citizenls time is so taken up with what should be mere trifles of life, that he expresses more or less apathy in regard to important public questions. The early history of Virginia shows the effect of leisure on govern- mental affairs. Pressing public questions exist today just :15 they did then. With the increased legislative power and leisure it is evident that the citizen would give more attention to civic beauty in which we are now so woefully lacking. These evils which We have set forth are immediate but temporary. In its passing, the new condition brings with it a stupendous and ever-present ques- tion. With more leisure at his command what will be the moral effect on man? It is true that nations have waned because of indolenee; yet, religion and learning have advanced with leisure. Must we in our age be denied that which as children we misused? The Church and Science have developed the aesthetic mind of man. It is this mind that conceives the idea of leisure, and surely that Which has engendered the idea can safeguard it when materialized. There is a diz'im'fy that shapes our end. History shows this end to be liberty and opportunity to obtain more of life; to give fuller expression to ones desires. This is done better by coming into relation with a larger and more varied life. Wherever man has been restrained in attempting to reach this end, riot and bloodshed have been the result; but allowed to attain it in a natural way. niti- lization, order and peace haw followed, and merits lives are shaped in greater accord with the divine ideal. LOUIS SCHARSTEIN, JR. The Cincinnati Night High School Alumni. LIiJ UTL iiAd astm per aspemfl In 1896 there graduated a small class of Night High School students who felt sufficient pride in their Alma Mater to desire to maintain the friendships there, and to aid in improving conditions for the young men and young women who work during the day and study at night For this purpose they formed the Cincinnati Night High School Alumni. At first the meetings were held at the G. A. R. Hall tLytle Posti. situated on Race street opposite Washington Park. Then, for a time, the Alumni Asso- ciation led a precarious existence, meeting Wherever the members could get a hall. The Y. M. C. A. of this city extended the courtesy of their rooms to the Association for a short time; then the Board of Education gave them permission to use the auditorium of the Sixth District School at Elm and Odeon streets, and it was at this meeting place that the best work of the Association was ac- complished. The necessity for repairs at the Sixth District School again left the organization homeless, and several meetings were held in the Tenth DistriJ; School at Elm and Canal streets; from there the meeting place was again changed to the magnificent structure which now stands on the site of Old Woodward, where the Alumni continues to hold its meetings on the first T uesday in each month. It has been the custom of the Alumni each year to give a dance in honor of the graduating classes, and this occasion has always proved a great social success. At the annual meeting in May, a reception is tendered t0 the graduating classes of the Night High Schools. While this Association endeavors to promote good fellowship among its. members, it is not strictly a social organization. At the regular meetings there are present men of prominence in various crafts and professions, who lecture on political, scientific, literary and historical subjects. The meetings are varied occasionally by the introduction of a musical program. The talent appearing has always been unusually good. The Alumni takes some pride in the position it holds as aid on the staff of General Cupid. Many marriages among its members are the culmination of friendships formed at the Alumni meetings. The organization, in spite of its youth, is already the happy foster parent of several promising sons and daugh- ters. An event to which the members look forward with much pleasure is the annual outing which, for the past three or four years, has been held at Lake Allyn. There we enjoy an old-fashioned romp from morn till night; play games, and engage in contests, the winners of which are presented with prizes. Among the important projects which the Alumni has on hand and to which it is bending every serious effort, is the establishing of a Night University in the city of Cincinnati. Assurances have been received from those in authority that the Night University would be started if there were suflicient funds to enable the Trustees to go ahead with the work. It is the fondest hope of this Association that, some time in the near future, it will be able to add to its laurels the fact that it was instrumental in causing the University of Cincinnati to add a Night Department where University courses may be pursued. GABRIEL H. WOLFF, t07. 89 The University of Cincinnati lul .J'i'L At that time of the Night School year when we begin to count in time instead of weelm 01- months, the question goes from one to another in the Senior Class. llWhut tli'C you going to do next year? After so many nights ol' hard and earnest el'l'm't, after so much burning of the midnight oil. the pI'OHpH'l ot' evening's to be spent in idleness or the search of vain pleasure seems empty and aimless. The proposition that confronts us is whether we are going to make our work and our sacrifices count, or point to our diplomas :15 a sutHL-ient ue- complishmont. nml sit down and wait for greatness to he thrust upon us. For those who do not care to stop at the training which the Night High School affords, no better solution of this question is offered then to take up :1 course in the University of Cincinnati. Such :1 determination for many would no doubt mean a hard struggle, but they can succeed who only think they ran, and the spirit that has carried us through the years of work hy tley uncl study by night is the spirit that can carry 1H through the University, There are in this city many men who can and do employ university stmlenls alter school hours. and this. coupled with the fact that many departments of the Uni- versity of Cincinnati are free to residents of lineinneti, should make it possible for those of us who live in Cincinnati t3 zitte 1 I this temple of leirning. The Melliclien College of Liberal Artx is the department of the university which takes up the academic work where the high schools stop. The different studies pursued in this college are tttoo numerous to mention The diploma ol the East Night High School permits the holder to enter this college without further examination in the subjects which he lltlS studied. Then there is the College of Law. and the Ohio-Mimni Medical College, and the Engineering College the workings of which Professor Schneider so entortainingly explained to the school. To detail the work of these colleges, the requirements, tuition for 110n-residents and all the other nmllers of interest to prospective students. would require many volumes of the size of this book; in fuel. the university authorities publish :1 separate hool: for each one of these colleges. which give; full particulars in regard to the college for which it is issued.
