Some of the High School branches had been taught before this class entered. but the High School had not been conducted as a department separate from the grades. At this time the schools were under the supervision of Prof. Henry H. Miller. who had stood at the helm for many years. and had laid a good foundation in the grades on which the department of secondary instruction might be built. ln 18202 Prof. J. E. Pomeroy became Principal. He re- mained in charge but one year. and no High School class was graduated. In 1893 he was succeeded by Prof. IJ. B. Flickiliger. under whose teaching a class of four boys lin- ished the course in the Spring of 1894. ln September of 1894 Prof. W. F. Ellis was elected Super- intendent. and has continued at the head until the present time. With him was associated, as assistant. Miss Lizzie Christie. a graduate of the Northern Indiana Normal School. The class of this year, consisting of three girls. will ever remember their humble and primitive eltorts at laboratory work, without apparatus, in the little supply room. They were the lirst to listen to a baccalaureate sermon, and their commencement orator was that educational evangelist, and teacher of teachers, Arnold Tompkins. During the years 1896-97 Prof. 1. S. Hahn served as High Sehool assistant. Mr. Hahn was promoted from a position in the grades on account of his skill as a teacher, and in 1897 he left us to take charge of the schools at Vulver.

Superintendent Bremen Schools Since I894. Ilis sucaessor in the High School was Prof. .Ioln1t'rowley. a graduate oi' the State Normal School. who proved himself a man of sterling worth and competency as an instructor. The School Board decided to change his title from Assist- ant' to Principal of the Iligh School. Since this time thc Superintendent has given more of his attention to the super- vision of the work in the grades. Mr. Urowley served but one year, and was succeeded by Prof. Milo Hale. the Prin- cipal ot' the High School at the present time. Since 1894 the High School has graduated a class each year, with the exception of 1900. at which time the course of study was changed from three to four years. Before this time no Latin had been taught. but now Latin, Chemistry and Solid Geometry were added. and the work in Botany made to cover a full year. During the last two years the Superintendent and Prin- cipal have been assisted in their High School teaching by some of the grade teachers. Those who have rendered such assistance a1'e Mr. Howard Zumbaugh. Mr. t'. H. Barts. Miss Minnie Snell. and Miss Faye Edwards. ln addition to the enriching of the course of study, and the increase ofthe teaching force. the lligh School has been improved. within the last few years. in many other respects. The Library has grown from less than 100 volumes to more than H00 volumes. a Laboratory has been equipped l'or in- vestigations in Chemistry. Botany. and Physics. a hot-water heating system has been installed. and electric lights have been placed in the Laboratory, Ottice. and Assembly Boom. 111 March of 1001, and again in January of 1902. the school was inspected by a member of the State Board of Education, and each time a High School t'ommission was granted. which entitles the graduates of the Bremen High School to enter Indiana University. Purdue University. and the State Normal School, besides several church universities and col- leges. without an examination in the studies taught here. These improvements have been made possible by the lib- eral and progressive spirit of the School Board. by the wil- lingness of the students to devote more time a11d energy to their own self-improvement. as well as by the zeal and per- severance of the teachers.

One quite common idea is that it is a preparatory school for those who wish to enter some college or university. The founders of our High School system had no such idea, and but few of our High School graduates ever enter higher institutions. It has also been found that less than 0116 per cent. of all the students of our land are found in colleges and universities. lt is true that our High School does 1-mi prepare those who wish to enter our higher institutions, and in fact a good High School course or its equivalent in some academy is necessary before we can enter upon a college course. The High School and college are very closely related, but the High School course should not be arranged to suit any special college course. However, the course that best suits the High School student as a finishing course will be a good preparatory course for a college. Another idea that is quite prevalent is, that the High School exists for the purpose of preparing boys and girls for some special trade or occupation. Possibly the greatest cry of school critics in recent years is for the practical education. The demand to eliminate those subjects that do not directly aid the pupil in earning a livelihood, continues. The business man asks, with justice, not especially what course have you taken, but 'twhat can you do? At this point we might easily be led to think that herein lies the great value of a High School education, but we have not yet reached the important point. We must confess that it does prepare us to do better those MILO F. HALE. Student at Mt. Morris, ill., '88-9I. Graduate of North Manchester College, '97 Student Indiana University, '98-'0I.

Other things being equal, the best carpenter is the one who has had a High School educationg the best farmer, blacksmith, 1ner- chant or molder is he who has spent a proper amount of his time in a course of general study higher than the common branches. , In one of our eastern cities a certain superintendent of schools addressed letters to all the business men of the city asking them to compare the work of their book-keepers who had stopped with the common branches and gone to business colleges, with those who had completed simply the High School courseg almost without exception the business college graduates did better work during the first six months, but at'ter that the High School graduate was in the van, The most successful merchants, doctors, lawyers, railroad oiiicials and business men in general have reached their po- sitions, not through technical schools, but through the liber- al training in some good general school, which gives the broadest development and culture. If the farmer's son is always to be a farmer, the black- s1nith's son always to shape the iron, the merchant's son al- ways to sell groceries and tear calico, and the mason's son always to handle the trowel, there might be more reason for arranging special courses for themg but at the average High School pupil's age, not one in twenty has chosen his life's occupation. The many studies that the High School course contains give the pupil an insight in the broader fields of occupation, and thus he develops unconsciously his own aptitude and liking for the Work that he is to follow through life. Many criminals are working out sentences in our pris- ons because they were not started in the right vocation, and were tempted to steal because they could hardly make a living at their trades. What, then, is the function of the High School? Those who planned our free school system saw that the future success of our country depended upon the education of the masses, therefore the training of the youth for the best citizenship might be given as the function of the High School. The theory of an educational system has always been determined by the theory of the state. The state that was entirely controlled by the church educated its priests and kept other classes in ignorance: if the state represented con- quest, physical training became the ideal school work: and in all strong centralized governiuents when some one idea 1H'f:'llUllllllZl.1Pl1. the schools were made for a i'avored class and not forthe masses. Our constitution will not permit of such conditions. but demands that each institution occupy its own proper sphere. We, the people. rule this .i-ountry: hence our educational system must not be for the few. but for man- hood and womanhood in general, and must embody the greater principles underlying all institutions. The pupil meets in the High School, as well as in the grades. all conditions of lifeg he lives here as he must live in the futureg he finds that he has rights that his neighbors must respect, and that his neighbor has rights that he must respect. If the state, which bears the expense of the High School, demands in return good citizens, may she not be dis- appointed. but receive as a remuneration for her investment, men and women of sterling character. 1 4 .

In response to the roll call of Class '02, H1611 beginning to feel the full weight. of the importance of freshmen, twenty- three voices answered Present, Although September abated the summers heat but little, the round of school life was taken up with keen interest and hearty zest. The teachers, Supt. W. F. Ellis and Prin. M. F. llale, have taught throughout the Iligh School course. Again at September roll-call the '02's, now sophomores, re- sponded, in number nineteen. The light-hearted playfulness which characterized them as freshmen was somewhat so' lmered as they were initiated into the mysteries of Latin hy amo,amas, aniatf' It was annihilated when confronted by Caesars legions, fresh from a Gallic campaign.

Autumn in the richness of gold and crimsong winter in snowy cover- ingg and now the first heralds of spring. March winds iirst brought to the ears of startled towns- people the sounds of strife. A tiag, the Freshmen's, un- fnrled from the flag-staff, was the signal for hostilities, and amid the din of battle the royal purple and pearl white fell before the Seniors' maroon. Before morning, however, our tlag had yielded only to the red, white and blue of our nation. Y-001.9300-- As I sat late one evening, musing in the falling twilight, a mist gathered before my eyes and with its passing I looked into the future and saw them all, my classmates, the Seniors of '02. ' There came to my ears strains of music, faintly at iirst, then clearer, Rlld amid the bewildering chords sounded a voice sweetly familiar. I listened wonderinglyg 'twas lilanche, once my classmate, now a famous Vocalist. Ere I had time to speak the music died away, and in its place I heard the chant of high-pitched, childish treble, Two times one is two, two times two are fourg and then again in concert, c-a-t, catg fl-0-g, dogg and looking I recognized in their teacher Fannie, whose ambition of school days was now realized, for she was Indiana's most successful primary teacher. The scholars' childish voices deepened, and in stentorian tones I heard, Free trade is beneficial to the working man and not- surely I recognized that voice! I turned toward the orator, and there. commanding in presence, fiery in elo- quence, ably discussing the tarilf question, stood Harry, the promoter of free trade. From the forum I passed into the court room, and therein cap and gown, a second Portia, argueing, pleading, linally triumphant fthe face was strangely like eyes, it was Zeta. The hum of the court room changed into a strange whirrg a winged car alighted before me. What is it? I asked. Have you not heard, they around me asked, 'tot the young electrical engineer who has perfected the air ship that will no doubt supplant all other means of transportation? No, I have not heardg who is it? ChesterGregg. An- other of my classmates. Tired, unable to understand these changes, so sudden they seemed to me, I turned away to the country. There amid the quiet I found another classmate. Clinton Berger. Ile alone of all had staid in rural districts. Wise was his choice, for away from the hurry a11d skurry a restful quiet soothed away the weariness. . Again I went forth, and seeing scholars with 'tUicero's Urations in their hands I walked schoolward after them. When I entered the class room they were reading Sed 'est tanti, patres conscripti f-fthe text was somewhat different from the one I had used. with fuller notes and references written by their instructor, Charlie Zellers. I turned away after class, allfl hearing a cry of pain I hur- ried rapidly toward the scene of the accident. By the time I had pressed through the crowd the unconscious injured one had been carried into a 11ear-by pharmacists apartments. There, with the aid of a potent stimulant prepared by the fair prescription clerk, he had revived. As I turned to leave the otlice my eyes were arrested by a certilicate conferring the degree of Bachelor of the Science of Pharmacy upon Helen C. McKinney, my classmate and sister. As after greetings we sat together talking of school days, I picked up a freshly-cut magazine entitled In the World of Books, and there I read the praises that eminent critics ac- corded to the young author of two books which claimed the attention of the literary world, and to the artist who had il- lustrated his stories. As I turned the pages I came upon the portraits of the author and artist, two more of my classmates. As at the evening of this eventful day in futurity I closed the magazine, I murmured, Ollie and Arlie, too. All of the class of '02. And Maude? you ask. Why, don't you know? She's class historian. , Q' ' 5 1 , ' ' E i f 6 , J AZIUWWII X 'WL S fl!-is i J if ml 1 'lr' W NN 5 Wake Elms if ? , f N W VW Q f XQSMM .

IN H599 this all-im portant Junior class of ours entered High School with an enrollnient of ten members. We realized our importance, and could now speak condescendingly of the pupils in the grades. We got along nicely the tirsl year. with a loss of but one of our number, .Iosie Seiler. The next year we moved one row of seats farther south, and had now arrived at the distinguished rank of Sopho- mores. We then organized our class, which still consisted of ten members, as Byrel Sinninger had added her name to the list of all those highly-distinguished names already enrolled in the ranks of the Juniors. School opened in September this year, and 11ow we have been exalted to the high position of Juniors, who have be- come noted for many things, but especially for giggling and gum-chewing. These accomplishments are causing much envy among the other students, who seem to be tryi11g to get ahead of us. This year we have a class of eight girls and, two boys. Several of these aee noted people. Among them are Carrie Nation, and Betsy Short, the celebrated giggler. Many interesting business meetings have been held this E?

S n, tor. IN the graduating class of 1900 from the common branches there were nineteen. Everybody wondered how many of those would ever enter High School. So when September of 1900 came the wondering was stopped. There were only nine out of the nineteen who loved school enough to enter High School. It was now a question as to how many would go through the four years of High School. This far four have dropped out namely: Fred Waltz who is a farmer, Charles Gollatz who works in Studebakefs factory, Armata Snyder who is at home, and Welcome Thompson who has recently been given the posi- tion of mail carrier on rural route number two. That leaves a class now of iiveftwo boys and three girls.

Even if we were said to be the dumb- est class that ever entered High School, we nevertheless made our credits and now have reached the Sophomore mark. Again it was Sept. of 'Ol and we were compelled to make room for thepresent freshmen class. Mr. Hale, our Algebra teacher, thinks we are the smartest class he has ever taught, and so it is with Mr. Ellis our Caesar teacher. lu a few weeks school will close and we will not be called the Wise Sophs any longer but will then receive the title of hard-working Juniors.

A11d they said unto him, in a house 011 Montgomery Streetg for so it is written in the letter of one of the maidens which was sent to Deak. 6. Then Prof. Ellis, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them what time they were lo call. 7. And he sent them to l'laee's, saying, go and sean h dil- igently for the childreng and when ye have found the111, bring me word again, that I may come also and bring a Stick. 8.

Ill. And whe11 they were come into the house, they fell down and worshipped. and when they had opened their grips they presented unto them gifts of sold. liowers. candy, gum, and rabbits. ll. And being warned by their fathers in an interview in the woodshed, that the next time they came they would have to bring their trunks, they departed into their own country, the land of onions beyond the Amish, at two o'cIock in the morning.

I SOCIETY is an organism. Any 0119 of its parts reveals to us its real purpose only when we view it in relation to the other parts a11d to the common end for which all of the institutions exist. The school is one oi' the institutions of society. What then, is the purpose of the institutions as a whole, and what the purpose of the school? Unlike the ancient world, America looks upon her gov- ernment, church, business organization, school and family. as existing for the individual. These are the means by which the individual is to realize his highest nature. The purpose of the self is absolute Freedom. The tive institu- tions are to assist ma11 in his struggle to free himself. All exist for a common end, but each performs a distinct part in the process. The unity of the process is not destroyed by the diversity of its phases. The relative positions oc- cupied by the parent, the teacher, and the pupil ill the pub- lic school system, must be found in an investigation of the purpose of the system as a whole. At the age of six, the child enters school. All the facul- ties of his mind are weak and unstable. He has 11ot yet learned to determine his actions by sober and careful re- ilection, but what he does is largely the result of caprice. or selfish motive. At the least opposition to his will, the frown of disapproval, or the tears of intense anger and dis- appointment distort his countenance. But the intensity of his sorrow is equaled by its brevity. Soon his attention is called to some other subject and immediately his trouble is forgotten. He has not the power to center his thoughts upon any given subject, except for a very limited time. lm- agination is in its wildest stage. In moral qualities, the child may be as greatly deficient, telling falsehoods to shield hin1selt'. and resisting the commands of his superiors with the boldness of the anarchist. Such is the condition of the child when he first enters school. What changes in the child's spiritual attributes is the public school to bring about? The true teacher sees, in this imperfect nature, the germs of perfection. She contin- ually holds before her mind's eye that being into which the public school is to make the child. She sees the man or woman, with keen intellect, refined and cultivated taste. and a will powerful to do the right. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir treeg and instead of the briar shall come up the myrtle tree. The immediate purpose of the school is to give that knowledge and discipline which will render the pupil self- directive in the institutions, when he shall leave school. Without the training which the school affords, the man is unprepared to till his place in society, unable to gain from the family, church, business circle and state. what there is in each for him, and unable to contribute to ea' h the part which the progress of civilization demands that he shall contribute. In order to properly lill the place designed for him in the social organism, his body, intellect, emotions and will must be developed. To stimulate the growth that will render each of these attributes the servant of the man is the work of the public school. You may recall that John Ruskin says that a man should keep ever before him three questions- W here am 1?', Where am I going? and How can I get there? These are good questions for the teacher himself, but they should be kept steadily before the pupil also. In most cases to cause the transgressor to ask himself these three questions is a far better means of discipline than to brandish the rod before his eyes. or ply it upon his back. In the road toward perfection in this life, as well as on the highway to Heaven. are to be seen only those who are there from choice. The schoolmaster should frequently point out the better way, and set up milestones here and there by which the pupil may judge of his own proress. Words of praise. if genuine and not too profuse, are a stimulus. llut the child can neither be carried nor driven. Carry him, and his mus- cles grow weak: drive him. and he thinks only of resistance, but place ahead of him in the way a beckoning ideal, and he will choose to follow it. It is doubtful whether we should remove from the pres- ence of the pupil all opportunity to do wrong. Most chil- dren may be led to desire to do right, even in the presence of opportunity to do evil. If the desire can be awakened within, the teacher may be relieved of police duty, and may act the more pleasant part of the guide. Kipling says in his novel, Kim, that he who has seen the cause of an action is well on the way to Freedom. The evil that is within is not to de driven out by pounding on the outside. It must be crowded out by a new growth which takes its place. Good and evil exclude each other. The most awful punish- ment that ever comes to him who wallows in the mire of the lower pleasures, is the resulting incapacity to ever enjoy the higher delights. The farther the pupil advanf es in the course, the more able he should be to manage himself. That teacher who turns out graduates who are incapable of self control, and who must be watched like small children is a failure. This is to say that as a manager the teacher should be ever withdraw- ing from the pupil's prerenre. He is to to be a John the Baptist, ever decreasing as his pupil increases. l believe that Dr. Dewey is right in holding that the school IS life, and not a mere period of preparation for the future. If so let the actual practice in living begin early, and continue to the end. The summary of all that I have attempted to say is thisf -The child is disciplined as he becomes freeg he becomes free through careful and long con- tinued exerciseg free from his environment, and from him- selfg free to think the trut the whole truth, and nothing but the truth: free to ex erience all that is beautiful, and grand, and sublime in this life, and to abhor evil as he re- coils from the serpentg free to allow his conception of the trulh. and his emotional experiences to lead him to the highest goal, uprightness of conduct. Such is the discipline which the public school should give. I so as he e as--n EDITORIAL l IN placing the initial number of The Oracle before the public, We have these objects in view: to make the people more familiar with the purpose and work of the High School, and to set a precedent which we hope will be followed hy the High School students each year hereafter. ln most schools and colleges it is customary for the Seniors to issue a book of the nature of this annual, but on account of the late start, and the impossibility of collect- ing the amount of reading matter necessary before the close of school, it was deemed best to permit the whole High School to have a hand in its compilation. We wish to thank the advertisers for their patronage, and the people of Bremen for the interest they have taken in the project, shown by subscrip' tions for The Oracle. We also w ish to t h a n k M r. 0 t t o F r i e s , who so liberal- ly aid ed us with special designs and il- lustrations: and all who have given aid and encour- - agement.

HIGH SCHOOL ASSEMBLY ROOM THE LABORATORY. l as eeeee as el The Vision of Sir Launfal What a line picture we see in the opening lilies of this poem, and how we can let our minds wander with the or- ganist. Then we have the soft sweet strains of his theme growing more and more interesting. Wordsworth, in his Ode to Childhood, said that in our childhood heaven is over usg but Lowell says that not only in our childhood, but in our manhood heaven is over us, and that we climb upward, step by step as Moses climbed the mountain. Sinai. to receive the te11 commandments. Earthly things must be paid for. and the farther from natural things we get the more we must pay for them: but God and Heaven ean be had for the asking. June days, the most perfect days, are given to us. When Lowell says, Heaven tries earth if she be in tune, we think of some 0116 tuning an instrument. In Jlllle everything seems to be growing into life. The cowslips and buttercups bloom. and every leaf has life enough to be some creatures palace. The bird as he sings to his mate makes ns cheery, and no matter how our past has been we cannot help feeling joyous. I At this time Sir Launfal remembered his vow and called for his spurs and mail because he wanted to go in search for the Holy Grail, the cup Christ drank out fof at the last supper. Before he set out on his journey he lay down to sleep on a bed of rushes. As he slept he dreamed that he saw the day warm, crows flapping around, cattle browsing, and everything sleepy. We must imagine Sir Launfal's home one of the old feudal castles whieh no one. save a lord or lady. might enter. We ca1111ot imagine the sun entering at the windows, the house is cold and cheerless. Sir Launfal dreams, and as the draw bridge drops we see a large black horse bearing a knight clad in his richest armor. As his armor glistens in the sun light it looks like gold. It was morning, and the knight seemed bright and happy until he saw a leper beside the gate, then a loathing came over him alld he was disgusted From the sense of duty Sir Launfal threw the leper a coin, but the leper, without taking the money, said Better to me the poor man's crust. better the blessings of the poor. He might have bought something to eat with the gold, but it was pity the leper wanted also. When a gift is given from the sense of duly it loses most of its beauty. At this point the scene changes, and we think of winter with snow and ice. When we think of snow tive thousand years old it seems much colder. Now as the brook hears the wind it begins to build a roof. We have noticed that when ice begins to form there are small pieces, at first, which Lowell calls arches and beams. We can see all kinds of beautiful designs which the brook borrows from summer as though the designs and patterns might be lost throiih the long winter. Then there are pic- tures of trees bending down through a forest crypt. Some- times the ice is formed in the moss that covers the brook, or it is smooth and clear. Then as the bulrushes bend to the breeze they are caught and fastened in the ice. In the homes we hear the merry ripple of laughter at Christmas time. The house is decorated with holly and ivy. The Yule log is seen flaming in the great fire place, the sap oozing out, and the flames climbing up the chimney. As Sir Launfal returns home from his long and tiresome j0l1I'l16y, he linds that a new heir now sits within the castle, and drives the wanderer from the gate, while he, the heir, enjoys the heat Oihis tire. The trees are bare and the boughs rattle as the chilling wind blows through them, down to the river covered with ice. Then we see the picture of a single crow, which as it is black and shiny, reflects the sun. and we shiver with the cold. As Si! Launfal turns from his gate, worn out and weary, his thin clothing can not keep out the cold chill of winter. He begi11s to think of the time when he was on the desert, and sought shelter from the heat, rather than from the cold. lIe saw, as he mused, the caravan at a dislanceg then as it drew nearer he could count the camels as they passed over the scorching sands to the oasis where the spring waved a signal of palms. euddenly Sir Launfal wakes from his day dream, a11d sees the leper near him, thinly clad, a11d hungry. Since Sir Laun- fal has suffered with humanity and has been in need of the necessities of life, he realizes the leper's need. and says he beholds the image of Christ ill the leper, for the leper has borne the hardships and the scorn of the World. When the leper saw the pity and sorrow of Sir Launfal he seemed to be cheered and brightened. The knight remembered how unrelentingly he had thrown an alms to the leper, when he started from his castle, hard hearted and cold toward the poor and needy. He humbly shared his crust of bread with the leper, and gave him water to drink from a wooden bowlg yet the leper enjoyed this more than wine and bread from a haughty lord. Now we see the leper changing in an instant, and Sliftllll- ing before Sir Launfal as Christ, The gate whereby men can enter the temple of God in Man. His voice is soft and sweet as he says, Lo it is I. be not afraid. The knight had sought i11 many places for the Holy Grail, and 110W as Christ appears, he tells Sir Lannfal that the wooden bowl is the Grail, and that the Holy Sup- per is kept when one man shares his humble lot with his neighbor. To give is not to throw in the sense of duty and in disgust, but to share with another what we have, For the gift without the Giver is bare. Christ said that in sharing our things with our neighbor we feed three, ourselves, our hun- gry neighbor and Christ. E As Sir Launfal awakes from his dream he linds himself in his own castle, still on the bed of rushes, but possessed of a new heart. Then he says that any one seeking the lloly Grail must be clad i11 an armor of unsellishness instead of one of steel. N ow since Sir Launfal has had this dream his gates are open, and a wanderer is as welcome to the castle as a bird to a tree. The cold aspect has disappeared, and summer, entering i11to the knight's heart, now reigns, a11d the serf and lord alike come and go as they will.

Dead Beat, Longlingers, and some names which have a pretty strong sprinkling of profanity. The good mothers, when they want to scare their ehildren into being good, say that the Bugaboo, namely the Squire, will get themg but he has the Democrat, the only paper he can afford to take, addre--sed to Mr. John Henry bulliven, Sr., Esq. It matters very little by which name you call him, because he deserves them all. As you approach his house you feel almost erawly. The thought strikes you that a country school had just dis- missed for recess, such a lot of youngsters. sueh a yelling, such a press, besides about six or eight dogs of all ages. sizes and colors, which come to greet you. while little .lake urges them on with a shrill Sic 'iml Sic 'iml Eat 'iin, Bull! But Mike, the oldest of the thirteen sons, saves you from that end by dealing vigorous blows with an old fork-handle to each Make includedl, while he pours a string of eurses and blasphemies upon them that is strong enough to subdue even the enraged Bull As you now feel safe. and dare to look around, you see that the Squires house is a long. low structure with several lean-tos at one end. It has four win- dows on each side, which are made up of blueish glass, rags, pasteboard, and shinglesg in front is a wood pile. and at the side a rail fence, on which live more of the sons are sitting. As you pass them, each wants to say something, Bill says Hello there! liud, lf you want to see the old man, go in, while all the rest have some friendly greeting. After coming into his august presence. you behold him attired in a pair of leather breeches, which scarcely cover the tops of his cowhide boots, and a red woolen shirt. He has a high forehead. This, he thinks, indicates good intel- lectual abilities, but if his forehead will get much higher, it will strike him in the back of the neck. He squints at you with his right eyeg his other eye is outfnot that he was born that way, but he lost it in a political argument. He has a long nose with a crimson tipg the corners of his mouth show signs of the weed, and he is constantly chewing a wad of 'ttohackeru with his seven teeth. You must not form a bad opinion of the Squire, though, before you see him at a political meeting or barbecue, when he is arrayed in his best. He has on a pair of yellowish trousers which are as much too long as his leather breeches are too short, a black Prince Albert coat, a white shirt and number seventeen standup-laydown collar in which he can put the lower half of his face, a pair of false teeth which interfere with his talk, a blue glass eye which he bought of a peddler for a quarter, and which does not match its mate in color, but has a fancy of gazing at the rosy end of his nose or up in the heavens while the Squire is trying to de- fend the paramount issue: with his dull sword of argu- ment. On top of his sleek bald pate is a wig. which likes to slide from side to side. On top of this, off to one side is a little red hat, which he has pressed into an indescribable shape. His scrubby gray beard has been dyed jet black, and part of his chin did not escape the deluge of shoe dressing. The Squire is an ambitious man, and thinks that he should be elected to some otlice, so he puts on an overdone smile and has what he calls a pleasant word for each voter-every vote counts, you know. Another place where the Squire and his sons are not so slow is when they are working free gratis with a treat fol- lowing. He says he just likes to wade into work, but he likes to urge the boys up, until they fairly swim in it, a good deal better He is always trying to make and save money. lf he could only get a hold of a money machine then he would not want to be postmaster, maybe. But because he can not he is down on taxes, high prices, everything, in fact, except Free Silver. He thinks this would solace all his woes. He sends the boys with the dogs away from the house when the man who collects the dog tax comes, and thinks he saves money but it will come back to him some day. Once when he wanted a new pair of spectacles he priced the cheapest pair. They were fifty centsg after waiting a long while he asked how much he would be allowed for the old pair in trade. Only fifteen cents. After J ewing around another half hour he asked how much could be throwed off if he had the left lens taken out. This was enough to break an ordinary man's temper and it certainly broke the optician's for the Squire feels pretty sure that he will never get his vote.

He ran overa horse with a ti11 can tied to his tail, and the horse took fright and ran up the street, knocking a lady down carrying a bucket of milk with a buggy wheel and breaking her ankle at the corner of Montgomery and Bike Streets and doing other great damage besides spilling the milk, which was not stopped till the old tlouring mill was reached, once owned by a man who was said to have been killed by a stroke of lightning with a fence rail on his back walking down the street so far back that but few of the oldest inhab- itants know of the sad occurrence residing in our town. vf v -iff V Ve WV V Sgigff W - v 0 r 4 t il U1 af W 244 N mv VVV- VV VV V V VV VV- V Xvfb LAHS, ,l4tf:,,, , , , J, ,7,,g,,,, ,Via V , , lw , ,,4,Z,fig3 1 lllu School Library contains 800 volumes exclusive of the 150 volumes belonging to the old Township Li- brary. The funds with which these books were purchased have been raised gradually, by means of school entertain- ments, and by direct appropriations from the Sehool Board. A few years ago a snug little sum was presented by the Crescent Theatre Uonipany. of Bremen. The one aiin kept steadily in View in seleeting the books has been to adapt the library to the actual needs of the school. In the cases are books for :ill grades, from the entering class in the 1'l'lIll?ll'y Room to the Seniors in the High School. However. the Library contains many works of interest to the general reader, and the privilege of using the books is free- ly extended to all the people of Bremen, the only stip- ulation being that they shall receive care- ful treatment and be re- - turned in due season to the Library. -fivulvr A Joy TIIICRE is IN A soon BOOK. Q I Acquisition ni Piaciicaiialenis 55 ATUHE holds foreach of us all that we need to make us useful and happyg but she requires us to labor for all that we get. Placing for ourselves high stand- ards, and wishing to reach them without further effort on our part, is not enough to elevate us in any very great degree. Talents are acquired by constant labor. We must remem- ber that those who start for glory must imitate the mettled hounds of Acton, and must pursue the game not only where there is a path, but where there is none. It is impossible to succeed in a hurry. We should be pae tient, work hard, and watch for opportunities. Talents cannot be gained in a single dayg they require the toil of many years. Home was not built in a day: but proofs of her magnificent temples are still to be seen. The greater exertions we put forth to acquire talents, the sooner we will reach them. If rocks rise up before us let us roll them along or climb over them, and not stand sighing, wishing and Waiting for them to get out of our way. There are f-obhle-stones in every road and pebbles in every path. but nevertheless we should not lose all energy and sit down in mid-life discouraged. Some of the great works of litera- ture, in which are stored away great masses of information. are the results of persevering efforts year after year. Gihhon consumed nineteen years in writing his masterpiece. A high education, unless it is practical well as classical. often uniits a man for contest with his fellow man. If you try to carve a stone with a razor, the razor will lose its eclce and the stone remain uncut. The true order of learning should he, first, what is necessary: second, what is usefulg and third, what is ornamental. To reverse this arrangeinent is like beginning to build at the top of the edifice. Education accomplishes wonders in litting a man for the work of success, but not always the most learned of men niake the best teachersg the lawyer who has achieved a clas- sical education is not always the most successful. Men have ruled well who could not define a commonwealthg and they who did not understand the shape of the earth commanded a greater portion of it. Practical talents can be cultivated and brought to perfec- tion, and by education and experience we can convert what before lay dornlant in the rough pebble into a dazzling diamond. l AivN11c E1.1,i4:N LIDICCKI-Ili.

Our Professor in Physics said there was something at the center of the earth that draws everything to itg and that is why people can not get away from the earth in an airship.
