We make no apology for em- phasizing that this is its distinctive feature. On the contrary, it would be necessary to apologize if we did not stress this fact. There is no lack of schools of the high school grade either in the Northwest or else- where in this country, but there is a lack of schools that are positively Christian. Minneha'ha Academy believes that true education con- sists of more than the acquisition of knoWledge. It stands for the training of the .heart as well as the head and the hand. Knowledge is power, as the 01d proverb reminds us, but it is a power that may be abused. In fact, the more keenly a persons mind has been trained, the more dangerous it is if misused; but on the other hand the more valuable it is if used aright. The development of character is even more vital than the training of intellectual power. Minnee haha Academy aims to give the right direction to the lives of the young people entrusted to its care. There are four departments in the school, namely, high school, business, Bible institute, and music. In all of these we aim to give a training as complete and thorough as is offered in any school of the same rank. The various courses are fully explained later in this book. .H y. , . .oio'o'o'n - x 6-'.QI.'.'.$ 9 CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY The Students Minnehaha Academy makes its appeal especially to boys and girls, young men and young women, in Christian homes. It seeks to maintain in the sphere of studies and school life the same atmosphere as prevails in a good homeean atmos- phere of cheerfulness, industry and sincerity, and also of reverence and devotion. That there is a homelike, sym- pathetic spirit in the school is the appreciative testimony of hundreds of former students. Though many are older, the great majority of our students are young people in their teens. This is the critical age in any persons life. The habits of thought and conduct formed during these years are not likely to be changed later. It is a well established fact that the largest number of people who ever become Christians make this decision during these years. The right influences at this period in life may do infinite good; the wrong influences will certainly do incalculable harm. A BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS IS CONDUCIVE TO STUDY 10 A FAMILIAR PATH THRU THE CAMPUS The Teaching Staff The greatest factor in a school is not its walls of brick and stone, nor its grounds and equipment. These things have their importance, but in the last analysis they are not the test of the worth of a school. It is the teachers that give an educational institution its real character. The mem- bers of the faculty of Minnehaha Academy are men and women of Christian faith and Christian experience. In their professional preparation they represent well-known colleges and universities in various parts of the country. The teachers are always willing to give sympathetic atten- tion to the individual needs and interests of their students. By training, experience in teaching, and personal character, they are worthy leaders of the boys and girls entrusted to their care. Very truly did Dr. Cyrus Northrup, late president emeritus of the University of Minnesota, say, tilt is a great thing to be a good thinker. It is a great thing to possess a noble character. But it. is a greater thing to plant thoughts in intellects, where they will grow, and to put the principles which have made character into hearts where they Will be cherished? 11 dEOmHZZHE ho ?:mmnmxczp HEB Ed mmHF64SCame ESQ ho 320m CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY Educational Standing Minnehaha Academy is on the list of the schools fully accredited to the University of Minnesota. This means that the graduates of our high school department may enter the State Universityhand hence also other colleges and univer- sities-Without any entrance examination. This recognition by the University is a guarantee of the quality of instruction offered at Minnehaha Academy. A large number of our graduates are now pursuing studies at higher schools of learning and are making an enviable record. The following are some of the institutions. Which our graduates have entered: COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES North Park College, Chicago, Ill. Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minn. University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill.

Red Wing Hospital, Red Wing, Minn. 13 W; The Location MINNEHAHA ACADEMY is situated in the Twin Cities, the heart of the great North- west, but away from the congested business section of the cities. The campus lies on the Minneapolis side of the majestic Mississippi River, one block south of the Selby-Lake car line, which is one of the connecting lines between the two cities. The center of either city may be reached in about half an hour and for a single street car fare. In fact, there is only one fare between the school and any point in the entire t ' Twin Cities. This strategic location just at the city boundary means that the school regularly receives a large number of students from both St.Paul and Minneapolis. It also makes the school very accessible to out-of-town students, as they can leave their train or board it at the station in either city. The Selby- Lake car going west runs directly past the Union Station in St. Paul and goes directly toward the Academy, running within a block of the school. The location of Minnehaha Academy in the Twin Cities gives it many other advantages. It enables the student to visit churches, libraries, museums and art galleries, to hear good music and good lectures, and also to attend various conferences and conventions. All these privileges are an education in themselves. There are also good chances for the student to secure employment when he is ready for a position. 14 CATALOG. MINNEHAHA ACADEMY Bible Study No education can be complete that omits the Bible, the Book of Books. The world has not outgrown the need of its living truths. It is the greatest book in the world even from a literary point of view. In its redeeming and uplifting power as the Word of God it constitutes the most precious heritage of the human race, and its greatest hope. To instill its truths into the minds of the rising generation is to sow seed that will unfailingly yield a blessed harvest. At Minnehaha Academy every student in school is in some Bible class. This is one of the fundamental rules of the school. The Bible itself is the textbook that is studied. The instruction is plain and practical, aimed at the heart as well as the head. The deep interest in these studies constantly manifested by the students is a mighty inspiration to all friends of the school. All these Bible classes are taught by the president of the school, who thus comes into personal contact with every student. Earning Your Way Students who are dependent on themselves for an educa- tion often wish to find part-time employment. The school tries to find such work for all who may require or desire it. During the past school year a large number of students made their own way through school, at least in part. About fifty earned their board or board and room during a part or the Whole of the school year. Others were paid in cash, the sums thus earned aggregating hundreds of dollars. Girls who are willing to assist with housework in return for room and board can generally secure such positions without any difficulty. Ordinarily we have far more positions than we have girls to take them. A Student Loan Fund gives aid to deserving students, preference being given to those prepar- ing for Christian work. 15 CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY THE STUDENT COUNCIL IS A REPRESENTATIVE GROUP Honor Scholarships In the spring of 1922 a young business. man and his Wife, who prefer to have their names withheld, offered to give the sum of one hundred fifty dollars annually to the school to be used for scholarships to be known as the Anderson honor scholarships. This donation is divided into three scholar- ships of fifty dollars each, bestowed on the respective students Who make the best grades in the freshman, soph- omore, and junior classes. These students receive free tuition to that amount for the following school year. The scholarships are announced at the commencement exercises each spring. College. Scholarships North Park College, Chicago, offers an honor scholarship, consisting of free tuition for one year, to the two students in our Senior class each year Who ranks highest in scholar- 16 CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY ship. Several colleges in Minnesota offer a similar scholar- ship annually to the boy and the girl in our class Who have the highest grades. They include St. Olaf College, Gustavus Adolphus College, Macalester College, Carleton College, and Hamline University. ForenSICs Debating is one of the prominent activities at Minnehaha Academy. The school annually debates the academy of North Park College, Chicago. These debates alternate between Chicago and the Twin Cities. A silver loving cup is awarded now to the school that wins in a series of debates. Within our own school debates are held at frequent intervals throughout the year so that all who are interested may share in this Wholesome training. We are also in a forensic league With Minnesota College, Bethel Academy, and Augsburg Academy, and participate with these schools in annual debates, declamatory and oratorical contests. CONTESTANTS FOR HONORS IN DECLAMATION, ORATORY, AND DEBATE 17 EAST VIEW OF THE CAMPUS IN WINTER .............................. The Campus The campus of the school consists of about twelve acres of ground, including a block of frontage on the boulevard along the brink of the Mississippi River leading to the famous Minnehaha Falls. The huge dam recently constructed by the United States government two miles below the school gives this whole stretch of the river the appearance of a lake. The beauty of the campus, sloping gently toward the river, is enhanced by the large number of trees, to which the writer of the school song refers thus: Oaks majestic, ages old, Wave your branches proud and free, W ith your shelter kind enfold Minnehaha Academy! A big event every spring is the Campus Day, when all the teachers and students are mobilized and armed with spades, rakes and other weapons, and the day is spent in systematic effort to make the entire campus as clean and attractive as possible. Two lots adjoining the campus were acquired last year, thereby extending the school property to Thirty:first street. The Buildings The main building, a substantial brick structure, was erected in 1913 and enlarged in 1916, due to the rapid increase in the number of students. It provides class rooms, offices, music studios, labo- ratories, library, and a social room. The building is modern in every respect and is well equipped. The home of the president of the school is on the campus, directly across the street from the main building. The beautiful new auditorium building was completed in the fall of 1922. This building doubles the capacity of the school. It con tains the chapel, a large dining hall, a gymnasium, class rooms, etc. Provisions have also been made so that the entire first floor can be converted into an auditorium to be used for large gatherings, such as the annual conference of the Northwestern Young Peoples Covenant, commencement festivities, concerts, etc. The Days Work Classes begin at nine o,cloek in the morning. The length of each period is forty-five minutes. After the first two periods the entire school gathers for the daily chapel service. The two periods after chapel extend the morning's work until 12:30. Classes are then dis- missed for the noon hour of forty-five minutes. In the afternoon the students have three periods, the last ending at 3:30. In all depart- ments school is in session on Saturdays instead of Mondays. 19 C.ATALOG., MINNEHAHA ACADEMY CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY Chapel Services When the bell rings at 10:30, students stream out of the various class rooms and into the chapel for the daily chapel service. This is the brightest hour of the day. The strong, youthful voices blend in some inspiring, evangelical song. A passage from the Bible is read by a member of the faculty, and then all heads are bowed in prayer and thanksgiving. About twice a week some speaker is invited to address the school. One morning a week the occasion is mainly a song service, directed by Mr. Fredrickson, the head of our music department. The chapel services are a constant inspiration to both students and teachers. Among the large number of speakers who have addressed the school at chapel services are these: Rev. T. J. Bach, Missionary, Venezuela. S. A. Rev. C. V. Bowman, Pres. of the Covenant, Chicago, 111.

Carlson Declamatory Prizes of the same amounts are similarly bestowed for excellence in declamation. The Martin Roosendal Swedish Prizes of thirty, twenty, and ten dollars, respectively, are awarded to the students who rank highest in the Swedish courses. All of these prizes are bestowed at the annual commencement. The Library The library occupies a large, well lighted room on the first floor of the main building. Due to the generosity of the class of 1923 it is well furnished. The book collection now consists of over 2,000 volumes, all catalogued, and is steadily growing by means of annual appropriations by the board of directors as well as through donations from kind friends. An increasingly large number of periodicals is regularly received. Gifts to the library will be gratefully received by the school. Helping Hands The cost of maintaining Minnehaha Academy is about $35,000 a year. Each student costs the school about $125 a year. Because the tuition rates are comparatively low, only about $20,000 is received in fees of this kind. The remaining $15,000 must be secured in donations and is furnished chiefly by members of the organization that bears the significant name of Helping Hands. These people pledge a definite sum annually for five years, the amounts ranging from $100 a year down to $5.00 a year. Any person who cherishes the cause of Christian education is invited to join this association. which financially is the very backbone of the school. Alumni Association The first class that graduated from Minnehaha Academy t1914l had 14 members. Some later classes have numbered over 100. The graduates of the school have organized an alumni association to keep in touch with each other and to promote the interests of the school. In the spring of 1922 it published an alumni directory. It has a 22 CATALOG. MINNEHAHA ACADEMY membership now of over 1,000. The annual reunion is held in con- nection with the commencement festivities in May. The devotion of our graduates to the school is a constant inspiration. A large number of them are already Helping Hands. In 1927 they subscribed the purchase price of a lot adjoining our school campus, amounting to $1,350. Class Memorials The graduating classes of Minnehaha Academy have established the beautiful custom of presenting a farewell gift to the school. This expression of their devotion to the school is valued all the more when one considers that most students have very limited means, especially at the end of a course that has meant toil and sacrifice throughout. These gifts have been as follows:-- Class of 1915 Drinking fountain. 9, i 1916 Educational filing cabinet. i' 99 1917 Filing cabinet and stenographefs desk. ii ii 1918 Metal flag pole. ,' ii 1919 Delineascope. ,1 ii 1920 Mimeograph. ,, ii 1921 Filing safe. i, ,9 1922 Studio piano. 5 ii 1923 Library equipment. ii i7 1924 Campus hedge. ,1 i, 1925 Ornamental campus gate. 9 i, 1926 Studio piano. ii ,i 1927 tNot yet selectedi i, 1928 Laboratory Cabinet and Registraris Desk.

Sunlmer SCl'lOOl Summer school is conducted at Minnehaha Academy for a term of nine weeks, beginning about June 1 and closing about August 1. Regular courses are given in the high school and music departments. 1n the high school department a semestefs work is completed in the subjects offered. Minnehaha Academy has cool, airy buildings, sur- rounded by a large wooded campus. This setting makes the school an ideal place for taking a summer course. The sessions begin at 8 oaclock in the morning and close at 1 o,clock noon. The summer school enables students to shorten their courses considerably. Gymnastics and Athletics Since the addition of the new building in 1922, the gymnasium and athletic work has taken on a new aspect and attained greater propor- tions. Regular classes in calisthenics are held. These classes include various kinds of gymnastics such as setting up exercises and military drill. After a twenty minute workout, pickup games in basketball are generally played. Attendance at gymnastics is compulsory, only those being exempted who are physically unable and those hindered by work. With as fine a gymnasium as is to be found in any high school in the Twin Cities, with a full size regulation basket ball court, and with locker rooms and shower baths adjoining, the conditions for indoor athletics are ideal. Basket ball is the outstanding game played and the school enters into competition with outside schools, but the interscholastic games are restricted to Christian schools. A baseball team is also organized each spring and plays a number of games with other school teams, usually ending the season with a game against the alumni. An interscholastic track and field day is also an annual event. Student Activities The work of the students is not confined to classrooms or textbooks. Among the organizations offering opportunities for a broad and whole- some development along various lines are the activities enumerated 24 CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY below. Practically all of these organizations meet at the iistudent activities period,, during school hours on Thursday afternoons. Each activity has a definite faculty adviser. STUDENT COUNCIL The student council consist of the presidents of the four classes In the high school department, the class in the business department and the Bible institute class. It meets regularly and has general charge of the interests of the student body. The faculty often refers matters to this council and frequently receives recommendations from it. STUDENT ATHLETIC BOARD The athletic interests of the school are centered in the Student Athletic Board, which consists of twelve members, one boy and one girl from each of the four high school classes, the business department, and the Bible institute. Meetings of this group are held for the pur- pose of discussing the various phases of athletic activities, planning iipep festsii and making suggestions and recommendations regarding athletics at the school. Their work is supervised by the faculty director of athletics. HIAWATHA DEBATING SOCIETY Realizing that the ability to think and reason logically and to present these thoughts intelligently to others is a valuable asset, the Hiawatha Debating Society has been organized by a number of young men of Minnehaha Academy to develop such ability. NOKO'MIS LITERARY SOCIETY Aroused by a challenge from the Hiawatha Debating Society and the favorable outcome of the debate that followed, some of the girls organized the Nokomis Literary Society. This society is now a regular activity, of which any girl of the school can become a member. The work of this organization is similar to that of the Hiawatha Debating Society. THE TIMOTHY CLASS Many of the young men at Minnehaha Academy are thinking seriously of the ministry or foreign missionary work. They have organized the Timothy Class to equip themselves better for active work and especially to train themselves in speaking along spiritual lines. THE RUTH CLASS The Ruth Class is a group of young women who are preparing for Christian service in the home or foreign field. The class meets regul- arly for the study of religious problems and for training in speaking 25 CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY and in Christian leadership. As an organization it is active in Christian work at school and in the churches of the Twin Cities. MISSION STUDY CLASS The mission study class is a group of young people, preferably not over ten or twelve in number, that meets regularly to study some field of foreign missions. The series of studies continues through one semester. The leader is usually a member of the faculty. Certainly these studies have aroused an intelligent and growing interest in foreign missions and have also deepened the spiritual life of these students. SCIENCE CLUB The purpose of this organization is to stimulate interest in the achievements of science as applied to the social and industrial problems of the community and nation. Recent discoveries, industrial processes, problems of health, exhibits, demonstrations and reports contribute to the educational value of the programs. SVEA SOCIETY The interest of the students of Minnehaha Academy, who are of Swedish descent, in the perpetuation of the language of their ancestors has been evidenced not only by daily classes filled to capacity, but also by the organizing of a society known as the Svea Society. Through the programs rendered the members are made more closely acquainted with works of Swedish literature, music, and art. Membership in this organization has been limited to thirty. TAWASI CLUB In a day filled with books, lectures. and the constant use of the mind, there comes to some a desire to use their hands. In a world filled with many needs, is a need for things made by hand. The desire and the need meet in the Tawasi Club-a group of girls who come together to sew once every other week during the regular activities period. They plan not merely to sew; but to sew with a purpose. At present they are making small articles for the Covenant Childrenis Home at Princeton, Illinois. Thus there is a happy combination of recreation and usefulness. GIRLS GLEE CLL'B This organization is one of the most important activities at our school. Its purpose is to foster vocal talent and musical ability. There is no limit of membership as to number. Only students passing cer- tain vocal requirements are eligible. The rehearsals are held during student activities period. 26 ..... ummmm CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv THE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The School Orchestra is one of the newer organizations at Minne- haha Academy.

High School Department F. J. HOLLINBECK, A.B., Head of Department The studies pursued in this department are the same as those in a regular high school. The important difference is the instruction in the Bible. The courses are so arranged as to prepare students for entrance into college, university, or technical school, in the case of those who are planning such a career. Others, who do not contemplate advanced studies, will find the courses a broad education in themselves. ADMISSION Students who have graduated from the eighth grade of a public school are admitted into the first year of the Academy without examination. Those who have no such diploma are expected to show a mastery of the subjects taught in the public school, or take prelim: inary work. Anyone who has pursued studies in some other academy or high school and wishes to enter an advanced class will be given credit for the work done in another school. Credentials from such school must be submitted by the applicant before, or on the day of, registration. Students who plan to enter a definite college should consult the entrance requirements of such college and select subjects accordingly. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION To complete the course satisfactorily and secure a diploma as evidence thereof, a student must obtain 16 credits. This requirement is satisfied by carrying four regular studies through the year for four years. Mature students are able to shorten their course by carrying an extra subject or attending our summer school. Ordinarily the student is required to follow one of the six prescribed courses: the Latin, the Modern Language, the Science, the Business, the Music, or the Bible course. 29 CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY Synopsis Of Courses F irst Year English Algebra Latin General Science Bible Second Year English Plane Geometry Latin Ancient History Bible 11.

CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY ....... 11. Business Department EZRA N. OBERC, L.L.B., B.S., Head of Department The purpose of this department is to give men and women thorough training alongr commercial lines, and to prepare them to hold business positions successfully. In arranging the courses our chief aim has been to select such as are practical in every respect and as will thoroughly qualify the students to fill positions as bookkeepers, stenographers, and bank clerks, and prepare them for civil service. The great business concerns of this country require annually the service of thousands of men and women to conduct and assist in con- ducting the business of the country. Opportunity for promotion and advancement is always open to those who are competent. ADMISSION Students who have completed the common schools are admitted into the regular courses of this department. High school graduates, as well as those who have two or three years of high school work, will find a thorough training in business a big advantage, irrespective of what vocation they may follow. EQUIPMENT With the addition built in 1916, the quarters on the second floor of the building occupied by the business department are ideal. The rooms are arranged in a manner conducive to health, comfort, and efficiency. The equipment includes typewriters of the latest models, mimeograph and adding machine. COURSES OFFERED The Business Department offers the following Courses: GENERAL BUSINESS COMBINED BOOKKEEPING STENOGRAPHIC AND SHORTHAND TYPIST-CLERICAL SPECIAL SHORT COURSE GENERAL BUSINESS COURSE In this course a thorough study is made of the latest bookkeeping methods employed in retail, wholesale and manufacturing business. The student is first given preliminary work in the form of simple exercises in opening ledger accounts, journalizing, posting, and taking trial balances. After becoming acquainted with the sales book, pur- chase book, and cash book, he is introduced into the least complicated form of business organization, namely, the Single Proprietorship. After three business months of the Single Proprietorship, he is 37 w .wmm mi i-i mun Hr n.:n.m:uumu vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv CATALOG.

He is present when policies are decided and is guardian of the secrets that pass between captains of industry. Good steno- graphers are continually in demand, and when once they have proven their worth are jealously kept by their employers. The aim of this course is to make competent, thoroughly prepared, well equipped stenographers-young men and women ready to meet successfully the exacting demands of the business world. To ascertain if the student. is qualified to take the stenographic course an examination is given the first week in school in spelling and grammar. A thorough knowledge of these fundamental subjects must be possessed before one can hope for success as a stenographer. The following subjects are taught: FIRST TERM SECOND TERM Shorthand Shorthand Typewriting Typewriting Business English, Correspondence Spelling and Penmanship Economics tEleclivel Commercial Geography tElectivej Bookkeeping fElectivel Bible Bible COMBINED SHORTHAND AND BOOKKEEPING COURSE This course includes the work offered in the Stenographic Course and first set, or Single Proprietorship Set, of the General Business Course.

Many young men and women are needed at home and can be spared only for short intervals. When they do get an opportunity to attend school they generally make good, reliable and appreciative students. Such are especially welcomed. This short course does not lead directly to a diploma, but a careful record is kept of the subjects finished, and sufficient credits may be earned in time to warrant our granting a diploma.

The third stage of the students work involves Corporation bookkeeping and accounting, and the types of business used are wholesale grocery and manu- facturing. The manner of organizing corporations is explained and the liabil- ities of officers and stockholders de- fined. Special rulings in books of original entry are introduced, and the treatment of handling capital and sur- plus accounts is explained. SHORTHAND The well known Gregg system of shorthand is taught. An effort is made to get the student well grounded in the principles first of all, the text being accompanied by progressive exer- cises and speed studies. Complete sentences are written after the student has been at school about a week. The dictation is varied and comprehensive so that not only technical skill is acquired but an education as well. Shorthand is remunerative. cultural. and appeals to the ambitious person who wishes to use it as a stepping stone to success. It is fascinating. especially if one knows is subject thoroughly, and is useful, not only as a means of livelihood, but also for its educational value in reporting sermons. speeches and lectures. Ex-president Wil- son was a shorthand writer, as are also George B. Cortelyou, Kenesaw M. Lan- dis, William Loeb, Edward Bok, and many others of national renown. DICTATION After the stenographic student has finished the shorthand textbook and progressive exercises, and has had some work in speed studies, which takes from twenty-four to twenty-eight weeks, e is admitted into the speed dictation class. The work is progressive, starting with simple business letters at a mode- rate speed and later increasing to more difficult matter and at a higher speed. When ready to graduate the student should write from dictation about one hundred and twenty-five words per 41 minute on practised matter and about one hundred words on new matter. This subject includes practical work in the school office in taking actual letters from President Anderson. In this way the student gets practical experience. Accuracy and neatness in transcribing, as well as carefulness in the arrange- ment of the letter, are emphasized. This dictation is varied, including not only letters pertaining to a great num- ber of businesses, but interesting ar- ticles and speeches of informational value. The students vocabulary is broadened, his literary style is im- proved, and he acquires a knowledge of various subjects that is of great benefit to him through life. TYPEWRITING Typewriting has developed into an attractive and renumerative vocation. The student must become a good typist if he aspires to become a successful stenographer. The aim in typewriting is speed with accuracy, and to acquire this correct habits of typewriting must be formed from the beginning. Special attention is given to position at the machine, touch, fingering, etc., in the first lessons, and the student is made to understand that skill in operating can be attained only by the use of right methods. A speed of forty words a minute, net, is required, a deduction of ten points being made for each error. We also have in our typewriting department an Edison-Dick Mimeograph. BUSINESS LAW When one is obliged to appear in court it is best to engage a good lawyer, but there are many questions in law that a business man can answer for himself if he will study the funda- mentals of law. The course in business law takes up the general questions in contracts, property, principal and agent. partnership, employment of labor, car- riers. sale of personal property, sale of real estate, landlord and tenant, bank- ing, commercial paper, loans, credits and collections and corporation law. Cases and textbook are studied. ENGLISH h CORR ESPOND ENCF. The chief requisite of a good steno- grapher is a thorough knowledge of English. Business English includes a review of the fundamental principles of grammar, and a thorough training in the correct usage of words, and emphasizes those things that have a direct bearing on the Work of a steno- grapher or other office assistant. In Business Correspondence special train- ing is given in the arrangement of business letters, letters of application. letters of recommendation, form let- ters, telegrams, etc. BUSINESS ARITHMETIC Throughout this course the attention of the student is focused on the prac- tical application of the principles of Arithmetic. After a thorough drill in fundamentals, the student proceeds directly to the solution of problems which are of frequent occurrence in MINNEHAHA ACADEMY problems emphasis is placed. first of all. on absolute correctness. secondly. on the most concise and the most gen- erally approved forms of solution. PENMANSHIP The Palmer method of business writ- ing is taught. The object is to teach legible, easily executed and rapid muscular movement writing. A text- book on practical business writing is used rather than a mere copy book of fancy penmanship. Correct position at the writing desk is of utmost importance as a measure to conserve health, and the student is taught from the outset, by explanation and illustration, the proper writing posture. Progress in ease of movement and legibility can be acquired in a comparatively short time by those who practise assiduously. When once an interest is taken in penmanship the work becomes fascinating and there is then a strong incentive on the part of daily commercial practice. In solving the student to make continuous pro- gress. DIPLOMA A diploma is given for work satisfactorily completed either in the General Business, Stenographic, Typist-Clerical, or Combined Courses.

CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY Bible Institute HISTORY The Bible institute at Minnehaha Academy was begun seven years ago under prayer to God for His special guidance and blessing. It is a prayer which He has in a marked way answered. Graduates from the institute are already found in foreign missionary fields, in home mis- sionary service, in pastoral work, and a number are at present con- tinuing seminary study with the purpose of further preparing theme selves for the Christian ministry. Others are being used by the Lord in other ways, even though they are engaged in secular vocations. PURPOSE There are few needs today more vital than that of a systematic study of the inspired word of God. It is a need Which every true Christian has felt at some time or other in his own life. Perhaps he has felt it often and longed for assistance along this line. All agencies which serve to meet this need in a God-given way have a place to fill and this we believe to be true of the Bible institute at Minnehaha Academy. The institute stands for a Bible indited by the Holy Spirit. It seeks to present the teachings of this Book systematically, practically and reverently. We believe that it would be of great value for any Christian to take a full two year course at the institute whether definite Christian service is contemplated or not. In case this is impossible we invite those interested to come for a year, or even for a semester. The added knowledge of the Word, the deepened Christian experience and the widened opportunity for service would mean an enrichment of life which would more than repay the time spent at the school. Sunday school teachers and young people,s leaders especially are urged to come to this department. FACULTY The faculty is composed of the following men: Rev. Herbert E. Palmquist, Dean of the Institute. Prof. Theo. W. Anderson, President of Minnehaha Academy. Rev. Gustaf F. Johnson, Pastor Swedish Tabernacle, Minneapolis. Rev. Erik Dahlhielm, Editor of Veckobladet, Minneapolis. Prof. F. J. Hollinbeck, Head of High School Department, Minne- haha Academy. 45 4 a .n....-,, A w. u U CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY THE COURSE OF STUDY During 1928-1929, the following subjects will be presented: Old Testament, I, II, 6 hours per week.

PALMQUIST, Dean of Bible Institute, Instructor This is a two year course covering the entire Bible. It aims to give a working knowledge of the word of God. The Bible is the chief text and is studied throughout by books. A brief introductory study, practical rather than critical, is given to each book. A dia- gram outline gives its central teaching and place in the general plan of the Bible, also furnishing the basis of the study of the book. This is supplemen- ted by questions and suggestions as the study progresses. A certain amount of written work and collateral reading is required. During the first year, the Pentateuch and the Historical books of the Old Testament are studied. The Epistles and the Apocalypse are also presented this year. The following year takes up the study of the Old Testament Pro- phetical and Poetical writings. together with the Gospels and the Book of Acts. This means that the Historical books of the Old Testament are studied to- 46 gether with the devotional books of the New Testament during one year and the New Testament Historical books together with the devotional writings of the Old Testament the second year. The course is open to members of the Bible institute and to upper class- men in the high school department. It is taught by the dean and full high school credit is given. CHRISTIAN LEADERST TRAINING REV. GUSTAF F. JOHNSON, Instructor These studies have been prepared with the sole object in view of inducting a greater number of our young people into the active service of their own home church through the development of latent talent. There is, indeed, no reason why a pastor or even a small church should not have at his command the services of a group of such able assistants. Enlarged opportunities and added responsibility would give strength and lustre to their Christian character and spiritual life. This course will ex- tend throughout the full two years of the Bible institute course. The follow- ing subjects will be taught: CATALOG, MINNEH AHA ACADEMY mmmu mmmmmmm Personal Evangelism This course deals with personal soul- winning. its need and dynamic; the ii , iiwhen and iihow' of proper approach; varying methods; dealing with objections; the effective use of the Bible; dealing with convicted seekers, and the organization of work- ers, bands. Practical Work This course includes instruction in how to conduct gospel meetings, prayer meetings, young peoples meetings, childrenis meetings, Sunday schools, committee meetings, special meetings for new converts, etc.; also the prepar- ation and delivery of short addresses; analysis of simple Bible texts; pre- paration of outlines and practice in speaking. BIBLE DOCTRINE AND TEACHER TRAINING PROF. THEO. W. ANDERSON. Instructor Bible Doctrine The purpose of this course is to learn what the Bible teaches about the great subjects of the Christian faith. Such knowledge of the Bible is very essential in our day, if young people are to be able to give a reason for their faith. The study is not merely an intellectual pursuit, for the practical application of the Scriptural truths is constantly em- phasized. During the fall term we study the TrinitysFather, Son, and Holy Spirit. During the spring term we study the origin and destiny of man, and Codis dealings with him. The divine plan of salvation is studied in detail. Various aspects of the Christian life are also considered. Teacher Training The Sunday School is now one of the most fruitful branches of the Chris- tian church. Young people are con- stantly asked to serve as teachers in this field, often without any preliminary training. This course aims to supply the most vital needs of our teachers. During the fall term, the origin and evelopment of the Sunday School is studied. During the spring term, the 47 rharacteristics of pupils of various ages: the qualifications of a successful teacher, and the best methods of teaching are included in the course. Throughout the year practice teaching is made an essen- tial part of the work, the members of the class in turn serving as teachers and receiving the criticism of the class and the instructor. The Covenant Graded Lessons are the basis of this clinic in teaching. The course leads to a certi- ficate from the Covenant and also from the Minnesota Religious Education Association. CHURCH HISTORY REV. ERIC DARLHIELM, Instructor Early Church History The aim in this course is to present a general view of the Christian church in each period of its history. Little stress is laid on dates, but great events and the conditions that caused them are emphasized. The historical back- ground of each period is described so that the students may more readily understand the significance of each event. A number of questions on each period is given to the class in advance by the teacher, the answers to which appear in the lectures. This course carries the history of the Christian church from its foundation down to the eve of the Reformation. Modern Church History This is the second year of the course in church history and continues along practically the same lines. Particular attention is given to the Reformation. the rise and influence of pietism, an the origin and history of the Mission Friends both in Sweden and in Amer- ica. Considerable time is given to the lives of the prominent men in each epoch, and also to missionary activities. These studies bring the history of the church down to the present time. MISSIONS PROF. F. J. HOLLINBECK, Instructor History of Missions The course of Missions is divided into two parts. history and methods, given alternate years. The history of mis- CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY sions is studied chiefly from the bio- graphical point of view. The lives of the principal missionaries in each of the seven fields are studied in outline, as far as possible in chronological order. The work consists largely of informal lectures and class discussions, with occasional written reports by the stu- dents on assigned topics. The mission- aries themselves are the heart of the great missionary program and it is thought that a careful study of their lives will make the work more real and of more lasting benefit. M issionary M ethods In missionary methods the missionary base, organization, candidates, finance. the local church and furloughs. In re- gard to the work on the field the mis- sionary himself is first considered to- gether with his various relationships and points of contact. The five prin- cipal ways of working, evangelistic, educational, medical, literary and in- dustrial, are then taken up in some detail. The purpose of the course is first of all informative, an attempt to lay a foundation for a further study of this great movement. Secondly, it is hoped that each student may be led to form- ulate a right personal attitude to mis- sions, that he may be of the greatest motives and aims are first considered, followed by a discussion of the home possible service wherever his lot may be cast. PRACTICAL STUDENT ACTIVITIES For the benefit of those who plan to study in this department of the school we outline briefly the possibilities afforded along the line of doing practical Christian work. In connection with the regular studies there is an opportunity for every student to put into practice the help- ful instruction received from the Bible and from men of several years, experience. GOSPEL MISSION WORK Included in the two years, course is the study of Personal Evan- gelism. There is no better place than 3 Gospel Mission in which to make use of a study such as this. The students have conducted services at two mission stations twice a month regularly and the Lord has blessed this kind of work to the salvation of many sin-sick, tired, weary, and despondent men and women of this city. YOUNG PEOPLE'S MEETINGS Not only at missions has their influence been felt but in our Twin City churches as well. Although it is not the work of the Bible Insti- tute exclusively, yet its students have an important part in conducting young peoples services in our Mission churches. Invitations come to the school to take charge of a meeting at which a student leads, another speaks and various kinds of musical talents are effectively used. VISITATION Occasionally the students are called upon to visit homes for the aged, homes of shelter and hospitals. Many are teaching in some Sunday School of the city. 48 CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY PULPIT SUPPLY We do not wish to forget another very important work done by students of this department. The young men are called upon to serve Churches near the city, which is made possible by the fine means of travel. Busses and trains run often and thus it becomes easy to reach localities where they find it difficult to support a steady pastor. There are many ways and places for doing practical Christian work which is the greatest delight for a spiritual young man or woman. WORK IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS An exceptional opportunity is afforded a Bible student to take a course or two in the afternoons in one of the other three departments: high school, business or music. Also high school students are privi- leged to take work in Bible and receive credit therefore the same as in any academic subject. The University recognizes and gives full credit for Bible studv. . ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS Application for entrance into the Bible institute should be made to the president of the school. An application blank will be sent on request, to be filled out and returned. Regular students must be at least 18 years of age and must have at least a year of Christian exper- ience, that is, must have been Christians for at least one year. Good health and a will to study and learn are also necessary. SOME OF OUR GRADUATES AT NORTH PARK COLLEGE 49 CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY uwmmmmmmuIm-rmum IV. Musm Department T. W. FREDRICKSON, Mus.B., Head of Department This department aims to benefit every student of Minnehaha Academy, in whatever department he may be registered, by trying to create a musical atmosphere and to cultivate a craving for what is good in music. This is accomplished by recitals, concerts, etc., as well as by making song and music an essential part of every devotional, literary, and social activity of the school. By offering superior opportunities for the study of vocal and instrumental music, it also aims to serve the pupil who pursues the study of music both as an art and an accomplishment, and for the purpose of teaching it to others. Deviating from the order of thorough and practical courses only enough to meet the special needs of indi- vidual cases, this department strives to produce efficient and devoted teachers. Our instructors are men and women of recognized talent and ability in their respective fields. INSTRUCTORS MR. T. W. FREDRICKSON Instructor in Piano and Theory Mr. F redrickson has pursued advanced studies in Piano, Organ, and Theory at the Yale University School of Music, from which he was graduated with honors, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Music. Studying under such masters as David Stanley Smith, Horatio W. Parker in Advanced Composition, William E. Heasche in Orchestration. and Harry Benjamin Jepson in Organ, Mr. Fredrickson developed a technique which won him first place in competition among organ students of Yale and the Frances E. Osborne scholarship for the best examination in music after three years, work. Mr. Fredrickson had the honor of composing the first movement of a symphony played at the commencement exercises of Yale Univer- sity by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. With Mr. Hultgren, instructor in voice, Mr. Fredrickson toured Sweden last summer, giving concerts. 5O nnnnnnn IIIHH um yuntu r mu CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY MR. GEORGE G. HULTGREN Instructor in Voice The teaching in the department of Voice is based on the Italian bel canto, in which is developed a free and open throat which produces throughout the pypiPs whole range a natural and free tone. Mr. Hultgren, tenor, has for the past twelve years been teaching voice with success and has pupils in several states, filling important positions as soloists 0r teachers of voice. Mr. Hultgren,s training has been secured with the greatest masters of voice technique, studying with David Bispham at the American Conservatory of Chicago as well as with Karleton Hackett of the same college, with Mr. Witherspoon, famous baritone, Oscar Seagle, and Frantz Proschowski, New York, teacher of Calli Curci. Last fall Mr. Hultgren returned from Italy, where he studied with the great voice coach Maestro Caetana Rebonata at Milan. He is widely appre- ciated as a concert singer and choir leader, as well as a record and radio artist. ADOLPH M. OLSEN Instructor in V iolin Mr. Adolph Olsen has taught in the Twin Cities for the past seven- teen years. He received his early training under Dr. F. Melius Chris- tiansen, Director of the St. Olaf Choir, and then spent four years in Leipzig under Hans Sitt and Hans Becker at the Royal Conservatory of Music. Mr. Olsen has made numerous Concert tours through Minnesota and the Northwest States and has been Soloist with the St. Olaf ChoiI on several concert tours. Mr. Olsen holds an Associate Certificate from the Minnesota Music Teachers, Association. Lessons taken from him carry regular credit in the high school department, as do also the other subjects in the music department. MRS. O. BERNHARD OLSON Instructor in Expression The work in the department of Expression includes public reading, public speaking and story telling, either in private or class lessons. The aim is to develop true expression rather than elocution. Special help is given in overcoming impediments or slovenly habits of speech. The need of such training is unquestioned. Mrs. O. Bernhard Olson, in charge of this course, has had several years experience in teaching in high schools of Illinois and Minnesota. Her excellent public work as reader and story teller testify to her 51 CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY ability, and the recurring demand for her appearance on the platform bespeaks the esteem in which she 15 held. Mrs. Olson is a graduate of the Columbia College of Expression of Chicago, which is recognized as one of the best schools of its kind in the country. piano JUNIOR AND ELEMENTARY COURSE In this first stage of the study of music, it is important that funda- mental principles be made clear and emphasized. The student will then understand why ear-training, mind-concentration, and conscien- tious and persistent practise in acquiring technic are essential. He will strive to make his elementary work thorough, so as to lay a good foundation upon which he may afterwards build. From the following an idea may be gained of the work that this course offers. Norris Syllabus, book one; Schmitt or Herz Technical studies; Diabelli and Kuhlau Sonatinas; Concone and Duvernoy Studies; pieces graded by the progress of the pupil; etudes by Burgmuller or Loeschorn. INTERMEDIATE COURSE Norris Syllabus, books two and three; Hanon, Technical Exercises; Heller op. 47; Little Preludes and Fugues by Bach; easier Sonatas by Mozart and Haydn; some of Mendelssohn,s Songs Without Words.

Minnehaha, we bid farewell, Alma Mater we love so well; W'e'll cherish ever in our hearts Sweet memories as we depart. May you in the future pfosper That more may be as lblest as we; May God,s guarding hand protect thee Minnehaha Academy.

They were chattering as only girl chums can, when the words of the caught their attention. On your right is the Minnehaha Quill Club, and on the left you seee but they had heard enough. There? said Louise, ttthaltts what I wanted to show you. Isn't it a mag- nificent building? Its like a palace! When you go up those long steps you come to a ritzy room with thick car- pets and gorgeous furniture. Farther in is an elaborate dining room. On second floor thereis a big library and in the basement is a printing press. Lots of the Quill members rented rooms so all the floors above third have private rooms for them to rent. Oh, Val, have you read ttThe Salt of guide Club the Earth by Eleanore Larson? ttCeI'taiuly, Louise, everybody has. Don't you know it won a $25,000 prize in a national contest? Why, critics say it comes nearer being the great American Novel than any other book ever written. 9Yes, well, she was editor of the first Quill, a tiny twenty-four page pamphlet, published by the Sixteen members of the Quill Club way back in 1926. The next Quill was published in 1928. You see. the Quill Club was fanned in 1925, and there was a rule --011ce a member, always a member. They published Quills every other year. With original stories, essays, and poems. But When some members had graduated and gone to college, they got some pretty good material for their Quills. When I graduated in 1940 they published Quills every se- mester and made money on it. Then when they had saved enough money and Eleanor had given her prize tContinued on page 2161.

Howis iBeans' getting along with the poiitical situation anyway, and Why areift you helping him or is he along with you? ttNow, Arner, just one at a time. First, Alibin is not here with me, and I am here icause I came to Visit my mother and thought Pd drop in and see you and Nina and the kiddies; I hope you're all well. uI'll say were well. Oh, Nina, come here a minute, look whois hereeOh. Arnie, call in Louise and Margaret and Arthur. itVVhy, Nina Nelson. I mean Mrs. Carlson, my, but I haven't seen you for ages, about eight years, I think. You're looking real well. Oh, Amer, I had the most thrilling letter from Gladys Johnson the other day and you know that Gustav Jonson is the au- thor of a book, Truths and Problems of the Siamese Empire . You remem- ber he went down to vSIiam right after graduating. Gladys said that she was reading it icause her boss, Mr. IVrig- ley, took the day off to attend boat races. You know that she can de- mand almost any wages 'cause every body wants her icause she's been named the model secretary of the United States, some honor, e11? Oh boy, Iill say. I heard some- thing, too. Lucille Peterson is work- ing fOr Mr. Atkinson, not as secretary any more, but as wife. tWhee, she hit it lucky, but just lis- ten to thiseDorothy Nelson is vice- president of Montgomery Ward's and she declares that men are a nuisance to business. She surely changed her attitude. and I don't agree with her, but any- how, that isn't your fault. Say, did you hear that Edith Hedluud married Paul Carlson, and that they are both working as missionaries in Hawaii? uNo. thatis great. You know I met Ruth Forsberg down in Chicago while I was waiting for my train, and she said shes so tired of hearing divorce cases that she almost believes in com- panionate marriage. You know she's court reporter; boy. she certainly used to be a slick shorthand writer. ttI dank blame her, I believe I'm tired of them. just reading the pa- pers. Speaking of courts, Reinhild Olson turned studious all of a sudden and took up law, passed the bar, had a lot of experience as lawyer and is now a judge in a juvenile court. ttOh. is that so, sheis progressive and diving off with medals and cups one after the other. HThaL's one thing I always wanted to do well, is dive. Well, I guess it's not too late to learn yet. Muriel Erickson is the model for the covers cf the VVomanis Home Companion . ttOh, thatis nice. Margaret Nelson is the present editor of the Gregg Writer? ttOh, is she-she certainly got a lot of go-nd out of her course. It was an- nounced in the paper the other morn- ing that Frances Larson's new book, The Dawn of Twilight' has met With a tremendous success in New York and eastern cities and is spreading west like Wild fire, . I bet sheis happy about that. I guess Alyce Johnson is going to Paris in the fall as buyer for a big woman's fashion shop in New York. They send her each year to select styles on the Riviera. ttShe certainly must have developed a good taste. Oh, by the way, you re- member Eleanor Nordenwall, well she's a mineralogist for U. S.

In his eyes was a dim reminicent look, while around his mouth played a smile of satisfaction. He was fingering tenderly a much thumbed publication any Minnehaiha student would recognize as the 1927 Antler. As he idly turned the pages ,his thoughts wandered over the events of the past ten years. In this short span of years he had risen from the place of a well-beloved M. A. Stu- dent t0 the the comforts, cares, and enjoyments of a multi-millionaire. Well, well, I hvaventt looked at an Antler for over 5 years, I've been so busy. Here's the pictures of my old Junior 27 cllasseGuess I'll look them over. Why here's Ralph Ackman- let's see. the last I heard about him was that he was down in South Am- erica originating a written language for the Brazilian Tribes. Yes, he was one of those kind that crack a hard nut. And next to him, Elmer Albin- son,eVVhy sure, he announced the hockey game I heard last night. He certainly was a cracker-jack. Our i28 class has certainly risen to fame. I heard from a cousin that Arthur An- derson was pastor of a big church in N. Y. My! 'Chestine Anderson cer- tainly has changed! I saw her the other day. She was remodeling the furnishings in wife's boudoir. I guess she'll be here again next Tuesday. Here's a picture of Helen Anderson. Shets a great Victor artist, PM have to get her newest record and have the whole set of her songs. And here's Walter Andersonel saw his name somewhereewhy certainly-I see it every day in the Chicago Tribune. He's their best sport editor. Well Carl Bergstrom hasn't changed much. Now I enjoyed the time I spent on his fiesta in the Argentine last sum- mer. And his little sister Naemi was very pleasant too. She was honey- mooning on her brothers cattle ranch. I certainly liked her husband. That trip around those thousands of acres looking over Carlts stock, certainly did me good. ttI had to laugh when my sister came back from Paris and told me that Howard Bissig was modeling menis sport clothes at Patou's Sa- loon! My! how I admire Signe Book for her good work among the sailors. she's seen the world at the same time she's brought the gospel to these gobs. Oh, yes, Irving Christianson told me the other day when I met him on the street that he had the world's largest collection of stamps and famous shoes and boots. Ah, and here's Countess Von Blitzzen, none other than little Peggy Dahlhielm. And Francis Dahl- ien helps create gowns for my wife. I heard that she travels the world creating for famous persons. And here is Elwood Edling, Swedish Ambassa- dor from the United States. He al- ways was a diplomat. I marvel at the importance that my little M. A. class takes in the affairs of the entire world. Oh, heres a picture of Albin Erickson -I heard his book on Parlimentary Lawii the other day and it certainly was complete and clear. This old Eng- lish Channel is almost run over with swimmers-hereIS a picture of Edith Erickson and Iread just today that she had swum the Channel. And here's a picture of Agnes Freij. Let's see someone told me that she taught Jour- nalism at the University of Chicago and that she is especially interested in the development of school publica- tions. Oh my wife wanted to hire Laurette Gauthier, but she is in the employment to Mrs. Vanderbilt as a guide and companion for her on her worldis tour. And here's Evelyn Hult- quist! Who ever thought that she would be running airplanes? But I guess she's doing it now-a-days 'cause tContinued on page my 6 THEQUILL MINNEHAHA Tonight as the wind is howling out- side, tossing the freshly fallen snow about, I heave a thankful sigh and think of the blessings of having a 10v- ing home with all its comforts. While musing on these things I begin to think of Minnehaha Academy, my own dear school. How much like home it is! Of course, M. A., is a splendid place so far as book learning is concerned. XVe have the most excellent, conscien- tious, helpful, and patient teachers who surely know their onionstt as the slang goes. But I shall not dwell on that phase of M. A., but rather on the homey side of it. M. A., is an ideal picture as far as the location is concerned with pleas- ant homes on two sides, the athletic field on the third, and lastly the long sloping hillside on the fourth which continues to slope until the rivers bank is reached. This one side is the crowmng glory of M. A., so far as the looks are concerned in my estimation. In the winter the white snow-covered campus with here and there the sturdy oaks standing guard, forms a pieture both romantic and beautiful. In the summer, when the grass is green and shady because of the dense foliage above, it is a most inspiring place for studying and dreaming, especially the latter. But I am forgetting the realv M. An itself in speaking of its surroundings- The two large red brick buildings are truly inviting and pleasant to the eye. When we have entered the door of the Main Building and have seen the Slgn Welcome to Minnehaha and have been at the office where we found Prof. Anderson with his kingly bear- ing and yet kindly air of human 1n- terest, we begin to understand one reason why M. A., is so much loved. Those of us who have been privileg- ed to study here have also found that tContinued on page 25L THE QUILL 7 MY SCHOOL DIA RY September Monday, September 12, 1927. School again!

SENIOR PROPHECY tContinued from page 10l. her husband owns an airline between New York and Paris and she helps him. Let's see, hereis Lois Glemaker's picture, what did I hear about her the last--oh, yes, she was superintending fur hunting up north, I guess she wants to learn her dad's business from the bottom. Ah. and here's the Presi- den'tls interior decorator. live heard a lot of people say that the White House is much more tastefully decor- ated than it has ever been previously. And hereis the picture of Ruth Iver- son! She's with Goldie Larson run- ning an exclusive kindergarten for the children of New Yorkls elite. Why I read the other day that Alida Jacob- son was hired to be Rockefeller's pri- vate nurse. She certainly knew her medicine bottles even when she was in high school. Well, well, this old picture of me certainly is good, hah. hah, I certainly was a young sheik then. Ten short years ago-then the name Fridolph Johnson was obscure; now, it is known all over the world. Just to think that my collapsable bun- galow could have made me famous and wealthy. I remember Hazel John- son, a shy girl in school, but shes certainly happy; she married her old chum, Bob Sturdy. Herels Marjorie Johnson - myemy e she's certainly changed from this picture. On my last business trip to New York I visit- ed her studio and she was preparing a statue, I guess she called it The West Wind Maiden which she was sending to London to be entered in a world-wide contest. 0h! hereis Viola Johnson. I saw her name on the jump- ing horse I bought for Fridolph the other day. I guess shets coining money on her t0y inventions. Oh, this reminds me-Ilve got to buy my tics kets to hear Evalyn Klaung sing next Tuesday night, she certainly travels a lot. She has sung all over the world in her famous concerts. Who ever thought that Margaret L. Larson would marry an Aralbiane-she certainly changed her point of view fast enough, first going to Arabia to better the Harems and then falling for a sheik. And here,s a picture of lit- tle Margaret P. Larson. I bet that the Dispatch or Tribune would give a good deal to write up about her school days now since sheis manried a son of Pillsbury's . I saw her the other day being chased by a cop. but he couldnlt catch her 'cause she was in her twenty-two super cylinder racer- THE QUILL 11 Basketball Squad and how she can drive! !! And herets what used to follow the preceedinge Theodore Lindstedt, now with a M. A. after his nanle-he's down in Egypt deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyph- ics. Oh, and Ted's old friend Reuben Lundgren, why, he was Chief Chef on the Majestic the last time I went to London. Yes, sir, he has cooked for more famous people, and concocted more famous dishes than any body liv- ing. Some reputation he has! I dth believe that Ruth Lyden played tennis When she went to Minnehaha, but she certainly learned how after, 'cause it was easy sweeping for her to take the cup from France last year. And hasn't Helen Magnuson changed? Shes a. teacher of Mathematics at old Minnehaha Academy. She always was smart in that line. Philip Malkerson is efficiency expert for Ford, spe- cializing in airplanes. He always did appear to me as if he might do some- thing great. Herets Bernice Mattson, and what is she doing? Oh, yes. she's the dietitian for the Presidents of the United States. No w0nder theytve been in such good health lately. Ed Mattson is the champion Submarine Racer in the world, hets been reduc- ing lately ,cause he was so heavy that once he could hardly get the ship to come up.

THE RESULT OF HONEST LABOR The wind howled dismally around the corner of the little Rexburg church that cold February Sunday morning. Within the gray walls of the church the Reverend Carleton stood in his pulpit surveying his audience. The dark lines around his eyes told of the many hours of extra work that he had 'put into this sermon. He meant that 14 THE QUILL this sermon should be especially im- pressive. Not only his eyes, but his prema- turely gray hair and his quivering voice as well, spoke of the sacrifices that he made that humanity might be bettered. Ten long and dreary years ago he had first laid his eyes on the little community of Rexburg. It was much the same now as it was when he came. Had all his efforts in Rexburg to serve his Lord been vain? He could not tell. It certainly did not seem as if his labors had had any effect on the people. But he would try again; may- be the people would wake up some time. ' His text this morning was the sixth verse of the fourteenth chapter of the Gospel of St. John. He did not speak at great length but he put his whole spirit into what he did say: IHe told his congregation the simple story of Jesus Christ: the way, the truth, and the life. He pleaded with them that they might awake and see their great need of salvation. He closed by quot- ing the text; ttI am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father but by med. He had hardly pronounced the bene- diction before the congregation start- ed moving toward the door. He no- ticed that the people did not stop and talk this morning. They went right home instead. He also noticed a stranger in the crowd, a young man of about twenty-five years, with a sullen look on his face and dressed in shab- by clothes. Ordinarily Rev. Carleton would have spoken to a stranger in the church but today his thoughts were elsewhere. He merely nodded a greeting to the young man. Then he went home and thought little more of the stranger. Time passed swiftly, and on a warm August day, over ten years after the aforementioned Sunday, Rev. Carle- ton was sitting on the porch of his home in Rex-burg. He was thinking, thinking little about himself but much about the church. The peolple were still listless to some extent but they were not quite as sleepy as they had been a few years before. As it was a warm day, Carleton soon became drowsy. Suddenly he heard the drone of a motor coming up the road. He listened idly. The sound came nearer and nearer, until present- ly a large limousine came into view. He watched it until it stopped direct- ly in front of his house. The occu- pant, a well dressed, middle-aged man, came out of the car and walked to- ward Mr. Carleton. After the greet- ing the stranger began to speak. uYou probably don,t know me, he said, ttbut I know you. My name is Judd E. Burnell. I am a minister of the same gospel as the one you preach. This is the story I came to tell: More than ten years ago, on a cold Febru- ary Sunday, I was walking the streets of Rexburg. I was contemplating suicide and was waiting for the after- noon train to come in. I intended to hurl myself in front of the locomo- tive and end all the misery of this world. I had only seventy-nine cents in my pocket. I didnit want to spend the whole forenoon in the cold streets so I walked into your church. I was at least warm there. I could not help hearing some of the things you said. Then you quoted that verse: John Fourteen Six. I heard that and it set me thinking: Maybe I shouldnlt com- mit suicide after all. It might be worse in another world than in this one. Well, I thought for a long time. When I heard the whistle of the after noon train I was still sitting by the church. I finally decided that the only real life to live was that of a Chris- tian. There, in the cold, beside the church wall, I prayed for the forgive- ness of my sins, and became a new man in Jesus. I left town the next morning and got work in a factory. I soon started in with business for mY- self and became fairly well-to-do. THE QUILL 15 Then I heard Godis call to service, and became a minister, and here you see me now. When the man had left Rev. Carle- ton resumed his meditation, but' now his thoughts followed a different course than they did before the ar- rival of the stranger in the limousine. -H. R. J. A PRAYER God, guide me on the narrow road That leads me to a heavenly home, Help me to gladly bear the load And to live as I ought to live. God, guide me through this world of one This world of trial and sin, You know the way that I must go And you know where the way is dim. God, lead me to that home on high, To that land where peace doth reign; Give me that life I cannot buy, God, go with meeForevermore. -H. R. J. A COMEDY OF TERRORS ' Yohnnie-e-e! Oh, Yohnnie! Come har qvickW ttYohnnie came quick. He always came quick when his wife called him, when it was befitting that any docile, gentle, little man should come. As was stated, he came quick. He found his better half waving an important-looking envelope in the door-way. ttYust tinkf she called, You have a. telegram fran Chicago! Open it, so I kin see Whose deadli' Yohnnie, Whose full name was Mr. John Stubb, showed conflicting emotions, self-importance at having re- ceived so rare a thing as a telegram, and dread as to its contents. Tremb- ling somewhat, he opened it and read: Chicago, Illinois Dear Dad: XVill be operated for Melanotic Sarcoma of the neck, Northwest- ern Hospital, Tuesday. Would like you to come down. Your son, John Stubb, Jr. John Stubb senior was fairly dizzy at the thought of going to Chicago, he who boasted of never having gone morein .fifty miles from the good old homestead sence I came,,. And he was worried by the appalling opera- tion to be performed on John Stubb, Junior. Any operation was a thing which he invariably condemned as pure butchery, and this operation had in addition a name which in itself sound- ed like certain death. He didnit voice his thoughts, but said: That b0y allez was a good hand to contract high fallutinl diseas- es. Thereis his tonsils and appendix he had took out after he went to Chicago; Land knows I got along with mine well enough all my lifef' You never mind now, put in Mrs. Stubb tearfully, If our boy got Mele- matic-a- let me see thate-Svarcoma, why then your going to go so fast like you can go, and if we both could I'd go too. Here itis Sunday already and Chicago's two hundred miles away. You got to start early and take the first train in the mornini. At 6:15 Monday morning John Subb senior boarded the Chicago bound train. He was arrayed in his one Sun- day suit, threadbare and shiny but carefully pressed. He carried an old- fashioned ttelescope' or grip and under his arm a small lunch box for his trip. He had decided to go directly to the Hospital on reaching Chicago because John Junior was to be there then. The train pulled in at the Chicago station at five-thirty, and among all the passengers none were more sur- prised at the hubbub and commotion than Mr. Stubb. In complete bewil- derment he looked about, eager to es- cape this maudlin, this sea of living beings, to flee from it to a calmer refuge. He crossed the street. But now, where was he to go to reach the Hospital? With the aid of a Police- 16 THE QUILL man he boarded the right street car, and under the conductor's guidance reached the Hospital. His mind was in a turmoil after the adventure of thoming to the Hospital and he gave a great sigh of relief. He entered the hospital with much trepidition, and paused at the office girlis desk. She was talking in the telephone. tiNorthwestern Hospital? Who? Certainly, we'll put him in a w a r d yes ee alright? She hung up and turned to Mr. Stubb: ttIs your name Mr. John Stubbiw Er-yesma'am, said he in surprise, That's my name. nWill you please sit down here? I'll call a nurse for you. Immediately an efficient cheery- looking nurse, immaculate in her white uniform, entered and asked the bewildered John Senior to come with her. He followed her till she beckon- ed him to enter one of the plainly furnished rooms along the corridor. His first thought was that the room was for visitors, and that he was to remain here over night. John Junior very likely had arranged it for him. John was a good son, all things con- sidered. Still it was a surprise when the nurse said, uYou are to go to bed immediately to rest up for tomorrow; and left the room. It was strange if he couldn't see his son and strange that she should order him to bed, thought John Senior, but obeyed because obedience was a part of him, and because he was reale 1y tired. The night was destined to be one of surprises, and the same nurse return- ed shortly after with shaving equip- ment. She placed them on a small table and calmly began to prepare them for use. His amazement turned to fear. Was he to be shaved? and by this nurse? Unheard of ! Please, ma'am, I shaved this morn- in' and I can shave myself, if you think I- need it again,' 'he stammered fin- ally. He was desperate, and wished with all his heart he had never come to this city where the people seemed insane. ttYou misunderstand me. It is my duty to prepare you for the opera- tion, explained the nurse, uand now it' you'll please turn your head to where the sores are? It is necessary that the skin be perfectly smooth and devoid of hairs before an opera- tios so that none may enter the in- cision. Here the nurse grasped the lathery brush and With a determined air approached Mr. Stub'b. John Stubb senior ever afterwards prayerfully thanked the fate that call- ed that inveterate nurse away just at this moment. He was one man who would be shaved by no woman. He decided in his desperation to leave the hospital, via his bedroom window. before the nurse returned, and he would never, never come back to this strange city, which was Chicago. He had thrust his last belonging into his grip. So near safety! He heard footsteps coming down the corridor. That nurse again? John Stubb, senior, ever afterwards prayerfully thanked the fate that brought his high tifallutini son into the room just at this moment. itWhy ,IHelvlo, 'Dad! he was greet- ed, stYou here now? Dad! you look so scared, whats the matter? -Sh-h! son! Lock the door; maybe sheill come back soon. a ttWtho, Dad? Er-r, that nurse. She was goini ter shave me, even after I went to bed. Do they do that all the time here, son?i' iiYou been in bed already? tiShe told me twthe nurse. That lady by the telephone asked me if my name was John Stubb, and afterwards the nurse took me to this room and-. He was interrupted by a smothered uJehosaphat and he saw his son double up in a convulsive fit of laugh- ter. THE QUILL 17 ttPoor pa! he finally managed to ar- ticulate, you surely were taken in. My nameis John Stubb too! They thought you were me. Doc called up here to reserve this room for me and said I was on my way down. He told the nurse to shave my neck for the opera- tion. See hereli-he turned down his collar and revealed a group of sores. Is that Mel-Mele, is that where yOu were goini to be operated? ttThat's Melanotic Sarcoma. Those sores have to be cut out or theyill keep on spreading. It won't the ser- ious, but it will take a while to heal, I thought you'd like to come down, and we could visit a great deal when I'm laid up like this. When John S-tubb Senior returned to his wife and his farm a week later he said: ' ttThe operation was a success and Sonis almost well again. It wasn't such a poor .piece 0f work, the opera- tion. Operations are fine things some- times. Yes, Chicagois a big city and it's a nice place to go when you know, your business as well as I did. Reck- on, Iill run down there again soon an, .visit John. Travel is nice and its edica-tional. -F. 0. THE NEED FOR CHRISTIAN EDU NATION Why should it be necessary for us to discuss the question. of the need for Christian schools? Surely it is obvious that the Christian school plays a vital part in the program of the na- tion. And yet there are many who believe that the Christian school is a super- fluous addition to our educational sys- tem. They declare that the students of parochial schools tend to become narrow and that the public school students acquire a broader view of things in general because of the di- versity of persons and ideas with which they come into contact. They believe that the Christian school con- tributes nothing that is not contri- buted by the state-supported school. I believe that it is the duty of every one of us to seek to answer these questions to our own satisfaction. Does it make any difference whether or not our boys and girls have their secular education supplemented by re- ligious education? Do the Christian schools force upon us a narrow philo- sophy that imprisons our reason and leaves us with an inadequate out- look on life? Is there any place in the scheme of things for a character that stands fcur-square for the right and which seeks to live in daily ac- cordance with the teachings of One Who embodied the beast and the fin- est qualities that men can ever strive to emulate? We need the Christian school be- cause it educates the soul along with the mind and body. Why should edu- cation of the apprecation of spiritual values be divorced from education in material and physical values? These things should go hand in hand, the one supplementing and .modifying the other. Every student is entitled to equipment fdr the body, mind; and soul that shall enable him to grapple with a measure of success with the pro- blems of life. No graduate should be sent forth With an unbalanced per- spective for then he is a hindrance to himself and a problem to society. Well, do we not have Sunday- schools that fill the same need that the denominational school seeks to fill? We have good teachers and good equipment in the Sunday school. Why thrust religion upon the hey or girl for the other six days of the week? Well, they face problems and difficulties every day of the week and Satan is always on the job to place temptations in their pathway every hour of the day. It is not enough if he has a one-hour Bible lesson on Sunday morning. And if 'his daily edu- cation is built on the firm foundation of the teachings of Jesus, then he will 18 THE QUILL not waver and hesitate in the tace of uncertainties, but he will have stan- dards and guideposts to direct him. It might seem at first glance to the superficial observer that the students of the small, parochial school are bound to become narrow but actual facts prove this to be a hastily ar. rived-at conclusion. Jesus was the most broad-minded man the world has ever seen. He was broad because He saw all things in their proper rela- tions to each other. He appreciated as no one else ever ciOuld the mental, the moral, and the material phases of life. Some men look so constantly at one side of life that their vision be- comes one-sided and their view point is narrowed down to one relatively small part of life. But Jesus knew human nature well enough to know that one side of our nature must not be developed at the expense of the other, but each must be so developed that the result will be a well-balanced personality And so anyone who fol- lows the teachings of Jesus may truly be called broad-minded. After all. the final test of any in- stitution is this,-What kind of a man or woman does it produce? Jesus said, By their fruits ye shall know them. XVhat could be a more logi- cal test? We are applying this test every day to situations that confront us. In school we apply this test when we are considering what subjects to choose. W'e think of them in terms of how much good they will do us. In the business world a man invests or refrains from investing With an eye single to the benefits that will accrue therefrom. He chooses his employees on the basis of how much moral backbone they have. He judges an investment to 'be either paying or losing according to the returns it has brought to others. We can apply this test to music and art and literature. If their fruits are cheap and sordid ways of thinking we should stamp them out of existence. But if they elevate us and put us on higher planes, then surely they are worth- while. Thus we see that it is fair and reasonable to determine the worth of a thing according to how much good it does. Then let us apply this test to the Christian school. What are its fruits? First what is the Christian school? It is the institution that fits the girl or boy for duty to himself, service to his fello-w-men and a testimony to his God. How is this done? By develop- ing his physical powers, by training him in all that is best in scholarship, and by leading him to the knowledge that the fear of the Lord is the be- ginning of wisdom. The fruits of the Christian school are men and women who are wellsfitted to take places of leadership in all lines. The greatest monument to the Christian school is the man or woman whose noble and worthy life has counted in untold measure for humanity. iiYes, we need the Christian school? Let us then give it our heartiest support and co-operation. Let us be grateful daily for the men and women who labor quietly and faithfully in the class rooms to give us of their best. And may we so live that others will see and know that we have been with the Christian School. L. G. Howard: My college turns out fine men? Helen: When were you graduat- ed?

She always had an inclination toward that kind of work. And Lumira Picha, I certainly enjoy her weekly recital of her latest literary works through the radio sta- tion at Washington.

P. and J. H. THE QUILL 25 BIIINNEHAHA tContinued from page 6l. in each class room the teachers are of the best kind made and with the exception of examination days and a few such trying times the classes are most delightful and the best part is that we don't find only books and lessons but we actually learn to know, understand, and sympathize with other girls and boys. Now be- fore I forget it I want to say that I think M. A., has some of the most in- teresting, splendid examples of these Iboys and girls, I meanl that ever were put forth. Sometimes it would interfere with Our lessons if we did too much visiting during classes and between classes so the teachers have arranged literary and other kinds of clubs which meet every other week and some of these clubs sure take the caket'. Pardon me for being some- what prejudiced but I would like to mention something about a certain Svea and Quill Club right now. There is also a large dining hall where pleasant moments are spent eat- ing lunches and getting acquainted. Anyhow there is a feeling of friendli- ness and brotherly love at M .A., such as I have never before felt where so many people are gathered together from far and wide. I might mention that this feeling or spirit is even felt by those with whom M. A., students associate. I know this because a cor- responding chum of mine wrote me once that she surely would like to at- tend M. A., because she said, iiyou all seem to have such a family feel- ing, judging by your letters to mef' She went on to say that although the school which she attends is a fine place, still she never could begin to feel about it like I do about M. A. But besides being ideally situated on the banks of the qGreat Sea Wa- ter , besides having the best of teach- ers and besides having boys and girls who are willing to co-operate and be friends, M. A., has something which without it would be dull and lifeless. M. A., has for its object to help young folk to see Jesus Christ and to live according to his blessed example. If it were not for this predominate ele- ment at M. A., the tihomey feeling would soon wither, grow cold, and die. But it is there, and each day as we gather for Chapel in the Auditor- ium Building we feel the ties that bind us all together grow closer and our hearts are raised in thankful praise to Him who made it possible for us to have this dear M.

I visited a smart tea room on the top of the Wrigley building that was managed by Marian Gold- thrite and Viola Anderson. Service was prompt and the food excellent, even though they almost broke me. Come on, I hear the dinner bell, I had forgotten I was hungry in this battle of words. iiI'll say it was a battle of words, and live got a sure enough appetite. 26 THE QUILL KXOXVLEDGE Knowledge is power. Certainly this cannot be denied for knowledge. in this enlightened age and also in ages past, has been superior and ever will be to violence or brute forcet. In fact the substitute of -brute forcei' for the intellect is destructive to nae tional as well as individual principles. For instance war, destructive in every sense, is now trying to be outlawed thru the knowledge of the existing economic, political and social condi- tion and clear, unselfish thinking on the part of the nations as a whole and the different legislative bodies. Knowledge is acquaintance with fact, scope of information, truth, en- lightenment, practical skill and famil- iarity from experience. Knowledge has dimensions of height, deptn, length and bredth that no human in- tellect can hope to fathom or en- compass. Even narrowing this broad term down to a single thing, such as electricity. Edison says that the more he studies it the broader the limits become and the more he finds how little he really does know about it in comparison with what might be known. This is also true With most individuals for the more that the indi- vidual knows the more he sees how little he really does know and the less he thinks of himself. Knowledge can never be attained to its full extent, but there are count- less ways of adding to one's store: thru the study of oneself we may come to the knowledge of our own capabilities, possibilities and duties; thru the instruction received from our teachers with the help of text books we learn many things in a concentrat- ed way; thru reading books, outside of text books, in a selective way with some purpose, by the respecting of individuals, superior or interior, young- er or older we may learn something from each; from nature we add great- ly to our store't, -by reSponsibility thru position or circumstance which gives us practical experience, experi- mentation and countless other ways. Knowledge can be used in as many ways as it can be obtained. On it we can'base our future in this life and on knowledge of God we have the foundation for the life to come. Thru knowledge we gain the step. ping stones to true success and ser- vice. The degree to which we obtain this success depends on the degree, quality, extent and usefulness of our service or services and our services will be determined 'by the branch of intellectual or practical knowledge that we have the largest store of. Knowledge makes us more broad- minded with a broader view on life. We get an insight to other personali- ties, we learn to respect our enemies, we become more brotherly, friendly and united, we become more conscien- tions in our thoughts and actions; this combines for true greatness, we can be of service. eA. T. J. IX YEARS TO COME tContinued from page 2i. money to the Club, they built this club house. A Quill is published every month now. It rivals the American Magazine, not only in size, but in cir- culation. Lumira Picha edits it. She used to be associate editor of the St. Paul Dispatch. Eleanor Larson is married now, but writes for the Quill under her maiden name. Abraham Jacobson, Doctor of Philosophy, who teaches at the University of Minne- sota, writes for it. There are many other equally famous contributors, Olga Aspsetter, Agnes Freij, Florence Oppegard, Hazel and Philip Malker- son, and Margaret Anderson.-Why, goodness me, were back already, can you imagine it? I was just going to tell you that they chose a motto in 1927: We strive to be Scribes that influence lives , and they've certainly lived up to it. THEQUILL 27 N IL'S i BIRTHDAY 0h, Rossita, my dearest, I am so happyetomo-rrow will be my twenty- first birthday, and I will be free to go to my people. I am sad for you, sweet- heart, because it will mean parting, but I will come back and carry you away to my home as soon as you are twenty-oner-only a half year, my dar- ling? So said Nils, one of the boys of Mother Watsonis group, to Rossita, one of the five girls. All of Mother Watson's ttchildren had been chosen from poor people on her trip around the world, for their musical talents. Rossita could sing, sing like a bird, and Nils would sometimes accompany her on his ttpet violin, his blue eyes flashing and sparkling, and his gold- en hair tossed away from his face as a mane. Other times he played celes- tial melodies by himself. Mother Wat- son, for that was what they called Mrs. J. W. Watson, widow of Mr. Wat- son, late financier in London, had picked ten children, five boys and five girls, between the ages of seven and ten years, had given them a home, a college education, and developed their musical talents. At the age of 21, each was to go his own way on an equal social standard with any cultured per- son in the world. So tomorrow, Nils' birthday, would be the parting day of two in the group who had found love in each other, and were companions from childhood up, -and meant to be companions till death. So Nils went to his grandfather, the Earl of , a rich old man who had once been disappointed by his own son, Oscar, who had married a peas- ant girl preferably to the heiress 0f the adjoining estate to the Earl's pro- perty. For this the Earl had disown- ed his son and reduced him to poverty. After five years of dire struggling, Oscar died, leaving his wife with a small son, Nils. This was the plight in which Mother Watson had afound Nils and had been astounded by the remarkable brilliance shown in hand- ling melodies on a violin. Of course, the grandfather now hoped to have his grandson marry the young heiress to the property, and have the wound healed, and the vast wealth combined, so he received Nils with open arms. Nils wrote passionate letters to Ros- sita telling her of his daily life, of his developing friendship with 'Caroline, the heiress, and Rossita was glad for his sake that he was not as lonesome as she was. Soon, however, he wrote he was terribly busy and that she should not feel badly that he was not writing as often as he had. Of course, he should not have time when he is so good and popular, but she would , be able to enjoy his love fully after her birthday, so thought Rossita. Then he wrote her that his grandfather was ill and he would not be able to come to get her on her ubirth-day. Oh, Nils was so considerate and good, of Course he couldnit leave his sick grandfather, and anyway there was time. So, Rossita, turned twenty-one and went to visit Vienna which had been the home of her parents, poor peas- ants, but she found no trace of them and returned to London where she han an engagement to sing. One night after a remarkable con- cert she had given, she received a telegram saying that Nils was to mar- ry Caroline. Oh, what despair, What lonesomeness, what utter wretched- ness flooded her happy heart. She staggered out into the dark, deserted street. Instinct lead her to the Thames River quietly and deeply flowing on and on, to whereeno one knows, only if she might go with it into eternity. Her nerves became acutely aware of heavy, laborious breathing and long sighs; she looked up from the shore Where she was standing and saw a figure, outlined by the moon, clutch- ing to the railing of the bridge above her. She gasped and ran quickly up the bank, fled down the stretch of 28 THE QUILL bridge between herself and the per- son. She came closer-it was an old man. .She grasped his arm as he was dizzily swaying on the railing, ready to topple into the cold, unfeeling waters to be swept from earth. He uttered horsely, uOh, my God, give me strength-how Will I endure it?'t Forgetting her own sorrows, she hurried the old man to her room at the hotel. In a few days she had nurs- ed him back to comparative strength to move slowly around. He told her that he had lost his entire estate and that his grandson would not be able to marry the girl he was engaged to, because the agreement was to com- bine the wealth and now his was gone. She gained confidence and told him about her trouble, her lover gone and about to marry. . He telegraphed his grandson and re- quested him to come quickly to L011- don. There was a reply saying that he would start the following day. That meant arrival i nthree days. The old man waited with growing despair for he hated to disclose his poverty to his grandson. The third day arrived; Rossita was to go to the station and meet him. She was to identify him by the band he wore signifying that he was an Earl. She waited, went down to the sheds, saw the train roar in, people pour from the cars, the buzz of con- versation, the shouts of cab men and freight carriers. She saw no band or emblem-oh, there he must be, .his back was turned to her, she approach- ed, he turned, he was before her, her sweetheart, Nils. He looked, and looked once more, brushed his eyes, and burst forth a glad shoutettRos- sita, my belovedti She sprang into his arms and was kissed, forgetting the surging mob around them. Explanations, shyness, and eager- ness took turns in the conversation. They reached home, the grandfather explained, Nils was happy, and the grandfather who had become very at- tached to the sweet Rossita, said that he preferred that Nils marry Rossita, anyway. eL. P.
