22 TRUE BLUE Air—Sunflower and Sun. We are the naughty—naughty two’s, Brave and true? We love to greet, to greet you, As we meet again. (Repeat.) Air—Good Bye Dolly Gray. Good by old High, we must leave you, Though it breaks our hearts to go, Something tells us we are needed, In the world to face life’s foe; We all know7 how you will miss us, But we can no longer stay, Goodbye to the good old High school. Air—Ain’t It a Shame. But Ain’t it a bore, a measly bore. That there weren’t others like us before, But don’t you be a little frightened, For we can yell as we always do For the real class of 1902.

A casual glance at the history of past ages shows that the education of the olden times pertained mainly to the develop- ment of the physical powers. We see, however, that education seeks from time to time a higher plane of activity that is in the in- tellectual sphere. The fairest monument of the intellectual de- velopment of the pagan world was the Alexandrian library,contain- ing 750,000 volumes, but the moral education of that time was al-

TRUE BLUE Air —Forsaken. 21 Forsaken, Forsaken, Forsaken am I Like a stone in the causeway, my buried hopes lie, I go to the church yard my eyes fill with tears, And kneeling I weep there my love loved. Air—Cupid Might. Honey is honey so they say, So said a busy bee who passed our way. Honey is honey on a wintry day, While working and while in play. Our class is color blind, what will we do? Couldn’t tell green from white or True Blue, For all we know to the contrary. Air—How Can I Leave Thee. How can I leave thee, how can I from thee part, Thou only hast my heart, sister believe. Air—Mr. Volunteer. We’re only a part of the Hudson High, For this we hold it dear. We surely must be the only class, We’re dignified ’tis clear; No one’s mother’s heart will ache, Cause we have giv’n them cheer. Air—Strike up the Band. Strike up the band Here comes a Senior; Books off his hand, on good demeanor; and— Air—Tale of the Bumble Bee. Where ’er we roam, we will come back to thee. There’s kind spots in our hearts, And they’re only for thee. (Repeat.) Air—Strollers. Seniors we, oh, so blithe and free, We’re happy go lucky, We’re jolly and plucky, as you may see, A lively class, through the world we pass; We’re always contented, we’re always contented.

TliUK m'K most entirely neglected. Tin great factor in moral education is Christianity. The school should continue the development begun in the kindergarten, and the studies that give most opportunity to this development, are literature and commercial geography. The lat- ter especially, which gives the child some idea of his present and possible future relation to the business world. The religious in- terest may bo awakened to some extent in the school even without direct instruction. American philosophers are doing a valuable service to educa- tion, by affirming that the content of a study is of vital impor- tance, and that one does not study for the mere sake of exorcising the mind. For this reason the studies should be made most prom- inent which will be of most practical use in after life. They insist on a close study of the real meaning of those principles which all good teaching has tried to regard at all times. Doctrines with such ends in view will be hailed with joy by all teachers, and the hope is that the use of them will be a powerful force in making more effec- tive and practical the education of the future. Historic Women. By Hestkk Munson. Every civilized nation owes much to its women. History clear- ly shows that the advancement of any nation is marked by the pro- gress of its women. This is shown in scriptural historyand in the history of every people. Women of (Greece and Home had much to do with the history of both nations. The virtues of Lucretia may be imitated in all ages. The name of Cleopatra has been linked with those of the most fascinating women of all ages. With her great genius, had she ex- erted it in other directions, she would probably have been one of the most noted women the world ever produced. It is interesting to trace the working of the mind of woman through the centuries. Before the dawn of Christianity the war- like and fierce instincts seemed to predominate. The mythical heroines of Greece and Rome were mostly cruel and relentless goddesses. After the birth of Christ the light of the world pene-
