We have tried to make this representative of Central High School and all departments and organizations have been offered space for such disposition as seemed proper to their authorities. We sincerely hope that they who find their names in the local columns will accept the little pleasantries in the spirit in which they are offered, as it is far from the purpose of the editors to give offense to anyone. Lastly we wish to express our most cordial thanks to all teachers and students who have assisted in the publication of this book. CHE staff dot's not wish to make any apologies, since this book is its own best apology, but we do wish to speak about a few things which it might be well to explain. We had nothing like the amount of money that was available for the annual last year, and it has been only by the closest economy that we have been able to publish our Centralism In the opinion of some the book loses an attractive feature this year, since at the request of the faculty all pictures and mention of the fraternities and sor- orities have been omitted. 1 here are not as many etchings and illustrations as we would like to have, but as stated above, our financial condition will not admit of more. Some, not seeing the picture of next year’s staff, will wonder at the cause of this. In reply let us say that seventeen vears ago the literary7 societies of our school began the publication of the Central Luminary. The price of the paper was then ten cents, but after a few years the loyal support of the school enabled the staff to sell it 11 at five cents a copy. For the last few years the May number has been an annual, representing all departments and all interests of the school. The paper has been issued on democratic principles. Its columns have always been open to contributions from any pupil, and the illustrations have been made by an artist chosen by competition from the drawing classes. Suggestions have ever been sought and glad'v received, both from teachers and pupils. All the efforts of the staff have been devoted to making the Luminary typical of all the interests of the school, from those of the mightiest senior to those of the veriest freshman, and above all those that call forth the united loyalty of all classes and all departments. Me do not think that the school, as a whole, has been unappreciative, for the pupils have freely given us their support. This has been especially true of the year now closed. Although the staff has been handicapped by a debt of fifty dollars left by the previous administration, it has succeeded in pajr-ing this off, in clearing all expenses and in publishing the annual as usual. This is especially gratifying to the present management, as this issue rounds out an honorable history and brings to a close the life of the Central Luminary under the old auspices. By the decision of the faculty the next year will see Tiie Luminary edited under a new regime. We give it “God speed, ’ and hope for it the same success that for seventeen years has marked the course of the Central Luminary. OME . of the societies, have done excellent work this year and have given some very pleasing “Hall Programs. The Aristonians, who have been mentioned in the Luminary of April, gave theirs first. Next came the 1 hilos on April 25, and our favor-aide prophecy as to its outcome was more than realized. Every number on the program was very much appreciated, which was as follows: 1. School Paper----Miss Edna Field ......... Miss Marienne Brooke 2. iolin Solo . .Miss Anne Hamilton 3- Debate.......... Miss Bessie Sooy ...............Miss Ruth Weeks 4. Piano Solo ........... ............ Miss Elizabeth Barton 5. Original Storiettes ........ ..............Miss Susie Brooks fi. Chorus ...................... The Central Literary Society gave their program on May 9. Nothing better could be said of it than that it was up to the old standard. All of their numbers were well rendered. Their C. L. C. book, edited by Mr, Loving Crutcher and Mr. Hoyle .Tones, was a creditable production. The cast and program taken from the book are as follows: Mr. Sanborn ......... Thor Sanborn Mrs Sanborn........Mabelle Thornton Judge Gill.............Will E. Gill Mrs- Gill.............. Aletha Barr Mr. Platt ......... Ernest C. Platt •Mrs. Platt.......Elizabeth Oldham Miss Hutchings (a spinster).... ................Aley Hutchings -Charlie (a bell boy)----Hoyle Jones 1 rot.

Edith Gilliam Accompanist ......................Jean Kirk Vocal Solo .......Margaret Carpenter Declamation .... Frank Witherspoon Violin Solo.......................Lulu Hays Original Story...........Will E. Gill Roast Paper..............Maud Morrison Chorus........................... Cast The Platos are to give theirs on May 16,and although it is the last, the school may rest assured that it will not he the least in literary merit and original talent. Their program will be: 1. Song (quartet) R. Ellis, C. B. Jones ......H. McPherrin, H. Hudson 2. Declamation...................Chas. Lynn 3. Violin Solo...................Ralph Page 4. Original Story. .. .Clifford B. Jones o. Declamation.......Howard Hudson ( . Roast Paper... Howard McPherrin 7. Song ................. Quartet ORD has been received here that Fred S. Shaw, of the class of '!)!), has won fourth place in the strength test at Columbia, X. Y. This was a great feat and Central feels proud of the fact that he is a graduate of the school. Another great honor won by him was his election as an honorary member into the Tau Beta Phi society. A membership in that society is only given for high scholarship, and his is an enviable position. Mr. Shaw was one of the best students which Central has had the honor to graduate. He always stood at the head of his class. We take pleasure in wishing him further success in his work. 13 14 JUNIOR OFFICERS. GUFFIN, Gift Receiver. WE I US, President. RIDGE, Sergeant-at-Arms. BUCKNER, Vice-President. DUTTON, Critic.

Being companionless such a sound was more than a delight to me. I determined to seek the source of this music, and was hurrying forward, when, on suddenly turning a curve in the path, I found myself in full view of a beautiful picture. Stretching out before me was a low colonnade of marble, around whose Ionic columns chains of daisies were wound. A canopy of the same flower mingled with branches of the olive and myrtle, threw a peaceful shade over the whole scene. A queen, seated on a throne of daisies, was holding her court here over demure maidens gathered about her in stately loyalty, and who were clothed in pure white robes belted with golden girdles. The atmosphere of earnestness and sincerity which pervaded the place told me that they were more than the or- dinary maids of frivolity and pleasure —indeed, maids of wisdom and learning. As I looked, I saw the queen arise and holding high her scepter to command silence, announce in full, rich tones: “Thalia will now read before this assembly of Philos her essay on ‘The Women of Shakespeare.’ ” Ah ! then these are the Philos, that body of maidens whose aim is literary knowledge and perfection. I reverently bowed low, for to be near those whom everyone sought to reach was joy super- natural. I knew I had no right to stand thus—an eavesdropper—but I could not force myself away from so august an assembly. In the most polished, refined language, romances and essays were read, orations delivered and questions debated: soft music from stringed instruments and softer from fair throats reached me—all fell like a charm upon my ear. I was bewildered by such beauty and accomplishments, I sighed and murmured unconsciously, “Oh, would that I were one of them.” Mary E. Xeal. I —23— THE PLATONIAN SOCIETY.

In 1887 most of the boys withdrew and founded what has since been known as the Platonian Society. Some hard, solid work has been done, and it has always been looked upon as a model of literary talent. Since the open sessions have been discontinued, there lias been no possible way to exhibit its talent except in the hall programme, and that is of so short duration that it makes it impossible to give the numbers it would like. There has been a decided improvement in the condition of the society the latter part of this year, and there is a strong determination on the part of the members to next year enlarge the field of its usefulness. There seems always to have ljeen criticisms against this society on ac- —26— count of the scarcity of its members, and its exclusiveness, hut that may be accounted for by the fact that its membership is based upon a certain intellectual and social standing. We flatter ourselves that the Plato hall programs are so well received, and we hope to keep up the high standard in this and in years to come. The Platonian Society was founded on a sound basis. May it have a long and prosperous life. Oufford B. Jones. K CENTRAL LITERARY CLUB. CENTRAL LITERARY CLUB. Colors: Old Rose and Blue. Yell: Nika! Nika! Rip, Rah ! Ree ! Nota! Bene! C. L. C. OFFICERS.

HISTORY of any country, association or individual which must be written once each year, and condensed to a limited number of words, must of necessity become as difficult of enjoyment and digestion as a 30-days feast of quail, one taken each day. Glancing over the work of the C. L. C. historians of former years, we find the facts concerning the ancestry, birth and career of this, the leading organi- zation of “Old Central,” repeatedly set forth. The supremacy of our society is fully, and to us, satisfactorily attested by its very name, “Central Literary Club.'’ This indicates clearly that it is “The” literary club, or more concisely expressed, “IT.” More practical proof of this superiority is the fact that up to the time when the right to contest for literary honors was taken from the societies, the C. L. C. held seven more medals for merit than its next competitor. —30— These contests were so stimulating to members and so much appreciated by patrons and scholars, that a neat sum of money was accumulated and is now in the bank at interest in the name of Treasurer Peters. While we do have a good time now and then, it is admitted by all that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, as well as Jill a dull girl. Very serious work is done in these societies and in the L. 0. the rule is, “Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may ’ This was exemplified in the last ball programme, under the auspices of the club. No less than four distinguished literary lights submitted original suggestions for the principal number of the entertainment, and while all were of the most exalted order of literary effort, the keen, practiced intellects of the committee ruled on each without fear or favor, and condemned three captains of literature to bite the dust of defeat, and placed the wreath of victory most worthily where it 1x3longed. This entertainment has been declared the best of its class since the beginning. Do we not deserve encouragement to grow into such women as now — direct the wise counsel of the Athe-ncinn and such men as now bravely do and talk in the cause of making Iv. C. a good place to live in ? Loving T. Crutcher. f —31— SOCIETY OF LITERATURE AND HISTORY.

Society of Literature and History, HE Society of Literature and History is one of the oldest societies in the school, and one of which its members may well be proud. In former years the ones who thought themselves our seniors tried to trample the S. L. H, purple and white in the dust. But like a bad penny, we were determined to appear again, and after many long years of hard, faithful work, we have gained our much-wished for and deserved place among the pupils of the Central High. There have been no fraternities to destroy that harmony and union which we have always enjoyed. Every piece of work has been done in a brotherly and sisterly manner. There have been no factions to spoil the peace and good-fellowship which should rule every society. Although we have no open sessions to keep up the spirit of friendly rivalry between societies, yet we carry on our literary programs and have fun along with work. So we still reign supreme in our own glory, a glory which suits us and will always suit 11s if the Societ ' of Literature and Historj' remains the same as it has always been. .if THE ARISTON1ANS.

Yet very young children are we, in spite of which fact we are expected to have a history. We have one, to be sure, which relates much to our first experiences in walking and talking. In the first place, we started under most favorable conditions, one being that we had the mythologically propitious number seven for our charter members. We had no other origin than Topsy, who “just growed.” But these “seven sisters’’ were the Plei- ades of the surrounding constellations, and we do not wonder that since that time there have been so many “stargazers. ’ ’ Our learning to walk was perhaps one of our most difficult tasks. Many falls we had; many sharp thrusts that made our equilibrium most doubtful. Despite all these difficulties, however, we were rapidly learning 10 talk. Perhaps the first word of our vocabulary was “Humph!”—since a child learns what it hears most; so “Humph!” we all learned to respond. Having overcome these difficulties, we were, of course, better prepared to meet succeeding ones which usually resolved themselves into a mirage. -37— Therefore, our proclivities, our powers, have rapidly developed. Our walking has now become entirely a reflex act. Our talking, which took much practice and recjuired much cultivation, we now feel consistent with our years. So the Aristonians have commenced; so their history has been formed; and, completing this second year of their life, they feel assured that with the firm foundation which the present thirty-five members are laying for next year, they will have a future of which they and their contemporaries will be proud.

The Central Webster Club, Off, my children,there was once an ancient and powerful school whose fame had spread out among the nations of the earth; and in this school there were various societies of and for learning. But the inertia of age was heavy upon them, and their steps were tottering. Moreover, in this, their dotage, they loved to look hack at their former grandeur; and in time they came to he societies not for advancement but for mutual admiration. Now in these days certain youths banded themselves together, and with youthful and elastic strides sought to follow in the footsteps of the mighty Webster. Without ostentation and without confusion they grew and waxed exceedingly strong, yea, as the gourd vine in the night did they spring up, but as the oak tree in the forest did they stand. Early in this year a member did go to a far distant city, and there he met in an elocutionary competition many other youths from various cities of the realm, and there he did defeat in a battle strenuous. Then, indeed, was there much joy and hilarity in the land of his forefathers; and then, indeed, did the pupils of this school know what these, the emulators of Webster, were doing. Furthermore, a certain member of this society did so gloriously pen the praises of his patriotic fathers that he received honorable mention in a contest participated in by many schools; and in the annual Christmas play given by the pupils of this school, two members of this society played leading parts with success, with the success that always attends the enterprises of the C. W. C. Indeed, so earnestly and so eagerly have they followed in the steps of the noble Webster that in the contests of strength and endurance recently held between this school and two neighboring ones, they were able to run so fast that they gained over half the points made by their school. Xow these youths are unlike those who “toil not, neither do they spin,” or others who “bark, but bite not,” but they go “toiling, rejoicing,” ever nearing their goal, and that high niche in the Temple of Fame whereunto they first turned their steps.

The work of the large and successful classes, the girls’ chorus, and the boys’ glee club during the past year, under the inspiring leadership of Mrs. Carrie Farwell Voorhees, has attracted the favorable comment of all who have examined into its real significance. The joyous response of the human being to harmony and rhythm is reason enough for the study of music; but the manifold physical,intellectual and spiritual benefits are profounder purposes. The young people have developed powers of attention and application that soon brought reward in the understanding of the basic principles of vocal music—tone production and control, correct breathing, the technique of time, form and harmony. They have thus improved their mode of expression, have become accurate in reading and ear training and well informed in the history of music and its most favored disciples. The stimulation of mind, in addition to the gaining of high thoughts embodied in both text and melody, has given its potent impulse to their lives. Singing is not merely the physical exercise of the vocal organs, though the human voice is the most sensitive and lovely of all musical instruments. Through its vibration flows an ineffable force that hears the ideal from spirit to spirit. It affects the conscious and the uncon- scious intelligence mysteriously and irresistibly. Emotional states are created bv the persuasive cadences, even by the silence of pause. 0 strange, sweet power, Ineffable, O gracious iufluence, 1 know not whence thou art, but this I know; Thou boldest in thy hand the silver key That can unlock the sacred fount of tears Which falling make lite green. —Lewis Morris. This living in the realm of noble thoughts, this lending of the whole being to the grace and aspiration of pure conceptions, has ever been man’s most precious heritage. Song is immortal— it is the audible soul of the world. Olden days, and days to be, are voiced in our hymns of love and prayer. St. Ambrose and St. Hilary, St. Bernard and St. Thomas, the consecrated monks and the martyred Christians, lovers of all lands and times, all givers of melody since ‘‘the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for jov,” thrill our hearts today with the deathless love of song. The transports of Deborah and Hannah tremble in every singing girl; and every boy that gives voice to his inmost thought is again a David, sweet poet of Israel, carolling amid his-flock, “the Lord is my Shepherd.” The voice of the prophets and the worship of all sanctuaries, hosannas of the Bethlehem angels, the midnight praises of Philippi the paeans of Revelation, the spirit of field and cloister, festival and pilgrimage, all hallow our land and our people when we sing. Thus and thus only in this age of material stress may we hope to preserve those “Thoughts from immortal Nature. . . . Fresh as the winds are, perfect as the glow Of the Orient hills when Morning doth awake.” A Friexd of Music. -44 CENTRAL GLEE CLUB. Glee Club. IIE Glee Club, which had its birth as an organization of Central High School last year, was reorganized with a much larger membership this year. About fifty applied for places, but from that number only twenty-seven were selected. The rendition of their numbers shows hard an'1 persistent training and all credit is due to Mrs. Voorhees, who has earnestly and most ably supervised the rehearsing. The first and second tenors and the baritones and bassos have rehearsed separately and collectively until the harmony is almost perfect. This has only been obtained by hard work, since it is a most difficult task to take so many practically untrained voices and produce such a result. Central is fast becoming a school more on the college than on the high school basis, and without a doubt, music, both vocal and instrumental, is one of the mediums. The Glee Club has sung before many distinguished audiences; in fact a great many invitations had to be declined. Its every program has l een well received and it wishes to thauk every one for the very kind interest taken in it. It is very probable that most of the old members will be in the Glee Club next year, since most of them are juniors and sophomores. The list of membership follows: First Tenor—Will E. Gill, Oliver Bryson, Will Bryson, Ralph Ellis, Trumbull Seeley. Second Tenors—0. Virgil Dodge, Jr., Loving T. Crutcher, Clifford B. Jones, Charles Pugsley, Butler Gentry, Dell Dutton, Mylo Ebert. Baritones—Malcolm Lowry, Will Carence, Edward Stevens, Howard Hudson, Walker Longan, Thos. Evil-sizer, Chas. Lynn. Bassos—Kimber L. Barton, Frank Witherspoon, Gus Hertz, Albert Hertz, Thor Sanborn. CLIFFORD B. JONES. —46— MANDOLIN CLUB. The Central Mandolin Club. HE Central Mandolin Club was organized during the last school year and had a precarious existence until about the middleof this year, when several new members were added, and the organization took on new life. Since that time the organization has grown so in popular favor that no school celebration is complete unless it has a place on the program. Not only has the Club been well received by the pupils at the Friday morning exercises, but the teachers’ institute and the Athenaeum have each voted it a success. The program of April 18th, which was shared equally by the Mandolin and Glee Clubs, was looked upon as one of the most enjoyable of the year. The organization not only exists for the school months, but keeps up its work during the summer. Of the members of this year’s Club only one is a Senior, and as all the members expect to be in school next year, it is to be expected that the good work will be continued. The officers of the Club are as follows: President..........Miss Shropshire Vice-president...........Mr. Moore Secretary................Mr. Clark Director...............Mr. Graves. The following members compose the Club: MANDOLINS. Augusta Shropshire, Maude R. Clements, Frances Shelley, Gilpin Moore, Ella W.Foster, Henry Clark, Porter Graves. GUITARS. Georgia Shropshire. Frank Bannister, Ambert Haley. PIANO. Earl Reed. THE GIRLS’ CHORUS. CENTRAL FOOT BALL TEAM Foot Ball. HE record that our foot ball team made during the past year will long be remembered by those who appreciate a good foot ball team. The boys worked hard during the season and deserve much credit. They played eight games and lost only one. With the exception of one of the games, which was tied, bv a score of 6 to 6, at Topeka, our boys ran up large scores. The Topeka boys have the honor of being the onlv team that scored against Central this year. They had an unusually strong team, and our boys, although somewhat disabled from their first game with Topeka, played a return game and were beaten by a score of 11 to 0. This was one of the most, interesting games of the season and some fine playing developed on both sides. Easy victories were won by Central at St. Joseph and at Blees Military Academy. Woodford Taylor, who was captain of the team, also deserves much credit. He is not only a fine player, but is a hard worker, and kept up the spirit of the team during the season. Taylor was injured in the game at Topeka, and the team felt his absence in other games. Earl Wells was taken from the position of right end and put in Taylor’s place. Arlie Stanton played a hard game all season and acted as field captain during the absence of Taylor. Stanton will probably be captain of the team next year, and we hope- the team will be as successful as it has been during the past year. Mr. Bainter was manager of the team, and he deserves much credit in abiding by the inter-scholastic rules. If all the boys work as hard and play their respective positions as well as the boys did this year, they will certainly be as popular as each individual of this last year’s team. The following is a schedule of the games played last season: Kansas City, Sept. 28, Central, 18; Olathe, 0. Kansas City, Oct. 4, Central, 54; Kansas City, Kan, 0. Topeka, Oct. 12, Central, 6; Topeka, 6. Olathe, Oct. 10, Central, 17; Olathe, 0. Lawrence, Oct. 26, Central, 42; Lawrence, 0. Kansas City, Nov. 2, Central, 0; Topeka, 11. St. Joseph, Nov. 23, Central, 24; St. Joseph, 0. Macon, Mo., Nov. 28, Central, 35; Blees M. A., 0. Total, Central, 196; other teams, 17. The following is the line-up of this year’s team: Hill Calvin right tackle. Sharp Martin Morrow left guard. McPherrin . .. left tackle. Wells Stanton right half back. Shippey Scroggins .... full back. Tavlor quarter back. Substitutes: Green, Colgan, and Cotton. —52— BOYS’ BASKET BALL TEAM. Basket Ball ENT HAL’S basket ball team did excellent work this year. Out of nine games played Central won six, tied one and lost two. This is a good record, and few teams throughout the country did as well. On Friday afternoon, January 31, Central played her first game with Westport at our own gymnasium. Central won by a score of 25 to 0. Asch-man was the star of the game. On Friday night, February 7, Central played Westport a return game, which resulted in a tie, 23 to 23. In this game the decisions of the referee were all against us, and our boys did well to hold Westport to a tie. Tuesday, February 18, Central beat the Y. M. C. A. Juniors on their own court, by a score of 32 to 13. On Friday night, February 21, Central defeated the fast team of the Junior Turners, at Turner Hall, by a score of 24 to 23. The next game was played with the Independence High School team. This team was the fastest high school team in this section, and they beat our boys by a score of 39 to i(5. When Mr. Freytag tried to get a return game with the Independence boys, they seemed afraid to risk another game with us on our own court. Our boys profited much by the game, however, and learned a few things that helped them in some of the later games. On Friday, March 7, Central easily beat Westport on a neutral court by a score of 30 to 9. Tuesday, March 11, Central again defeated the V. M. C. A. Juniors. Score—Central, 30; Y. M. C. A. Juniors, 8. Every player on our team scored at least one goal, Aschman scoring five. Saturday evening, March 15 Central scored 24 points to the Junior Turner’s 12, in a very rough game at Central's gym. In this game, as the Star said next day. “Aschman was nearly the whole team, scoring twenty out of his school’s twenty-four points.” On Friday night, April 25, after a month and ten days without practice, we sallied up to Leavenworth with one of our best players out of the game, and received at the hands of the Leavenworth team a defeat they requested us to take at their expense. In a very gentle, manly manner they beat us 25 to 11. Aschman was the captain of this year’s team, and besides leading the team ably, he played a fast garni1 all season, and was generally the star. Graves also played a high class game, and aided by his height and reach, he made a very successful goal thrower. Clark played a good game, but was rather handicapped by a lack of time to practice. Taylor and Cotton both did work above reproach. Their team work was excellent. The final score of the season was: Central, 215; Opponents, 1(11. Harry Cotton has been elected captain of next year’s team. The following is the line-up of this year’s team: Clark .................... Forward. Graves ................... Forward. Aschman .................. Center. Taylor ...................... Back. Cotton ...................... Back. -54- GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM Girls' Basket Ball Team. AKIXG into consideration the fact that we have had little practice, we have a very strong basket ball team this season. We have played both Manual and Westport High Schools, having lost to the former by a score of 5 to 2, and won from the latter by the score of 18 to 3. The players on the team were: Miss Iveeley, Miss Hennesey, Miss Kenmuri, Miss Sparks, Miss Zimmerman, Miss Poison, Miss Tandy, Miss LeSueux-. The game is both healthful and interesting, and we hope a greater interest will be manifested by the students next year. MARY E. SPARKS. CENTRAL BASE BALL TEAM. Base Ball ENTltAL played their first game of the season on the 12th of April with the Westport High School. The game started with a rush, Central making 5 runs in the first inning, but when Westport took their turn they went us one better, making 6. The fielding of Central was ragged, and their batting was not much better, while Westport batted the ball all over the field, and at the end of nine innings Central lacked 8 runs, the score being 25 to 17, in favor of Westport. Our next game was with the Spalding Commercial College, which resulted in an easy victory for Central, the score being 12 to 9. On April 19th the boys from the Kansas City, Kas., High School wandered over here,only to be beaten by the score of 33 to 16. A heavy wind blew from the West, and on account of this many errors were made, but the Central boys proved the better batters, hitting the ball whenever they pleased. Aylesworth, Graves and Wells were the stars of the game. Graves pitched a great game for Central, striking out fourteen men. Central’s most important game was played on the 2Gth of April at Sportsman’s Park. This game was with Manual, our old rivals. At the end of the ninth inning the score was tied, and things began to look bad for Central, as our boys failed to score in the tenth, while Manual’s heaviest batters were up, the first man getting a two-bagger and the next advanced him to third; there he stayed until three outs were made. For eleven innings the two teams battled for the game and the Central and Manual yells helped them on. In our half of the eleventh we made five runs, while' Manual had to be content with a zero. It was then that the crowd from Manual went way back and sat down,” for Central had won by a score of 10 to 5. As for the stars of the game, there were none, as the whole team played like veterans. Sanders, who captained this year’s team, got together one of the best teams Central ever had. The line-up of this year’s team is as follows: Aylesworth ................ Short stop. Graves ...................... Pitcher. Gerhart .................... Left field. Sanders (captain).. Pitcher and 3d b. Aschman ................... Second base. Wells ..................... Right field. Hill, S., ................... Catcher. Chandler ...................First base. Iiill, R.,................. Center field Substitutes—Beck, Carlick, Reiger, Cowen and Andrews. -58- CENTRAL TRACK-TEAM. Track Team VERY institution of learning of any importance in America advertises courses for the education of the body as well as the education of the mind. The buildings devoted to the training of the body and for the sports are very fine, and well equipped. Those who attend these universities and colleges receive the benefits, but there are others who cannot afford to go to such schools and therefore do not train their bodies and take part in the athletic sports as others do. It is therefore advisable to have athletic work in all the public schools, and in the high schools especially. For this reason our school has a gymnasium devoted to physical training. Athletics in Central have advanced wonderfully in the past two years and we hope some day to have both a boys’ and a girls’ gymnasium. Much credit is due to Mr. Freytag, our gymnasium instructor, for training the boys that participated in the field meet between St. Joseph, Topeka and Central High Schools. St. Joseph gained more points in this field meet and also gained more points in the Missouri Valley Inter-Scholastic meet. Fred Pugsley, nevertheless, won a first place in high jump and was awarded a gold medal. Lancuacc Department French Department. Voltaire. Regardons un moment un tableau tres interessant. La forme centrale est celle d un homrae vieux et fane. II est assis, ses maigres mains tendues en benissant un jeune enfant. Derriere l’homme ancien demeure le pere du garcon. Les personnes sont Voltaire, le fils de Benjamin Franklin, et Franklin lui-meme. En visage de Voltaire on peut lire l’histoire d’un siecle, et un des siecles les plus interessants du monde. II semble desirer donner a l’enfant toute l’erudition de son siecle en cette touche de sa main. C’est tonjours un spectacle beau et triste, celui de voir deux personnes ensemble, l’un commencant l’existence, l’autre la quittant a jamais. Voltaire a employe avantageusement son temps et maintenant il recueillit la compensation. Depuis sa premiere jeunesse il ecrivait et son oeuvre sera immortelle. Grande a ete son influence sur les belles lettres. Comme Louis XIV, a dit “L’Etat c’est moi,” Voltaire peut dire “La litterature c’est moi.” Voltaire naquit en 1694. Son pere, un riche notaire. mais un homme d’un intellect tres ordinaire, voulait que son fils fut “un poulet respectable comme le pere, plutot qu’il devint un fauconqui s’eleve.” Le fils etait condamne a 1’etude du droit. Pour etudier cela il alia a Paris. Mais pendant qu’il y etait il passait beaucoup plus de son temps en se rejouissant avec les jeunes nobles, qu’en etudiant ce qu’il haissait. Il etait un depensier, et on raconte de lui l’histoire suivante. Un ami lui laissa un petit legs. Immediatement il achetn une voiture et pendant un jour il proinenait dans cette voiture avec toutes ses connaissances. Quand la nuit tomba, il ne la voulut plus et il la mit dans les ecuries de son pere. Quoiqu’il manquat souvent d’argent il ne pensa jamais encore a ce cheval. Cependant il s’occupaitde la litterature entre toutes ses folies. Il sentait en lui-meme le genie se remuant, et il composait quelques bons mots et petits poemes qui lui procurait l’interet de la societe. Apres etre mis en apprenttssage a un notaire, il vint au chateau de Marquis de Saint-Ange pour continuer ses etudes. Le chateau etait la place ideale pour un tel homme que Voltaire. Le Marquis lui racontait ses reminiscences personnelles du regne de Henri IV, et c’etait a ce temps qu’il commenca a ecrire “Henriade,” le seule poeme epique de la France, et aussi “Le siecle de Louis XIV.” A cause des epigrammes sur la famille royale, il fut exile deux fois, alors mis dans la Bastille, et enfin exile a vie. C’etait un des evenements les plus fortunes de sa vie, cet exil en Angleterre. De ce pays il obtint beaucoup, de ses idees de gouvernment, et aussi plusieurs de ses pensees origiuelles. Enfin il revint en France. Il accepta l’invitation de Frederic II de Prusse, et restait avec lui en chambellan et conseilleur principal. Mais la partie de sa longue vie qui est la plus interessante, c’est celle qu’il passait dans sa Maison a Ferney, pres de la fron-tiere suisse. De grands seigneurs, des artistes, et des auteurs y affluerent comme a une cour. Voltaire etait le roi. Affranchi des restrictions du vrai roi, il faisait guerre a toutes les coutumes etablies. Il se montrait d’un ame tres noble et genereux Il delivra l’arriere-petite-fille de Corneille d’une pauvrete terrible, et il la fit instruire sous ses propres yeux a Ferney. Il a publie les oeuvres de Corneille et lui a donne les profits. Aussi il maintenait pendant beaucoup d’annees une pauvre famille qui -62— avait souffert aux mains d’un noble. Dans le dernier an de sa vie il alia a Paris ou l’on representait l’lrene, une de ses pieces ‘‘A la seizienie representation, son buste fut porte sur la scene et courronne de fieurs.” Quand il se promenait en voiture la populace l’accompagnait. Un jour Voltaire et Franklin en entrant dars un theatre furent recus avec des cris de “Voila Solon et Socrate.” Voltaire est au sommet de sa gloire quand nous le voyons assis dans sa chaise avec le jeune Franklin devant lui. Sa vieillesse ne pouvait pas supporter l’excitation de cette ovation, et il mourut en 1778. Sesderniers mots etaient “Je meurs venerant Dieu, aimant mes amis, mais detestant la superstition.” Louise E. Roberts. Pierre Loti, Pierre Loti est le pseudonyme de M. le lieutenant de vaisseau Julien Viaud’qui fut ne a Lorient en dix-huit cent cin-quaote. Ses camerades l’applaient Loti d’une fleur indienoe a cause de sa nature douce. Il a ecrit bien des livres de voyages et surtout des voyages dans la mer boreale. En effet, sa carriere de marin lui a fourni le material d’erire. “Homan d’un Enfant,” “L ■ Mar a ;e de Loti,” et “Pecheur d’Islande,” sont ses livres les plus connus. Quand il eta t en Japon il etait amoreux d’une Japonaise et il a raconte Phistoire de son amour dans le livre “Madame Chrys-antheme” ’dont le style est tres beau. Il a Pintensite d’impression pittoresque et son style est fort vif, bienque melanchol-ique. Il se place a cote de Chateau briand par la fin justesse des tons dont il fixe les plus mobiles, les plus etranges aspects de la nature. Il est, au reste, tres personnel et tout moderne. Loti est un des plus grands peintres de la litterature francaise. Dans “Pecheur d’ Islande” il a decrit des magnifiques tableaux dans le plus beau et le plus clair lan-gue. Sa langueest si nette qu’on peutbien voir toutes ses peintures. Les personnages dans ce livre sont traces avec beaucoup de realism. En Yann, qui est le heros du livre sont reunies tonte la durete d’un pecheur et toute la finesse d’un cavalier. L’histoire raconte son effort de triompher des senti- ments d’amour, mais enfin l’amour est vic-torieux, et il se marie avec Gaud. Cette Gaud est la fille d’un riche marchand et elle etait devenue amoureuse de Yann de-puis la premiere fois qui'elle l’avait vu; mais comme Yann n’est pas riche il ne se permet pas de penser a cette fille. Par hasard, le pere de Gaud perd toute sa fortune, et Gaud allait demeurer avec la grand, mere Moan, qui maintenant est restee seule a cause de la mort de son dernier petit-fils, Sylvestre, tue dans la guerre avec la Chine. Un jour, apres avoir appris que Gaud est devenue tres pauvre Yann lui dit son amour. Et c’est dans les noces que Loti a donne une de ses plus jolies descriptions; le cortege de mariage se place devant nous comme un veritableau. Yann et Gaud etaient bien heureux pendant six jours; alors il fallait que Yann partit pour l’lslande, d’ou il ne revint jamais. Sa prediction etait devenue une realite; “Je finirai, un jour par celebrer mes noces avec la mer.” La douleur de Gaud, melee avec l’espoir est tres pathetique. Elle ne s’abandonne pas tout a fait a la tristesse jusqu’a la fin. Les descriptions de Loti, particuliere-ment de la mer boreale, n’ont pas ete ex-cellees par autre ecrivain francais. On dix-huit cent quatre-vingt-onze Loti fut nomme par l’Academie francaise pour remplir la place vaquee par la mort d’ Octave Feuilett. Pearl Wei dm an. —63— Coeur cPune Femme. Elle etait jeune ayant a peine dix huit arrs, mais elle aimait. Oui, il n’y avait ancun doute de ce la. Elle aimait le bel artiste Americain, avec les yeux bleus et les cheveux blonds. Et elle etait aussi sou modile. Oh, si elle ne pourrait que respirer toute son arne, si pleins de peusees pures et douces comme ils etaient a present devra-ient faire nu ideal, “Coeur d’une Femme,” l’etait le nom de son portrait et il gagnerait le prix, dit-elle, oui si-l’effort eoutat sa vie. Ces etaient les pensees deFelise comme elle s’ etait assise aussi tranquille comme si elle avait ete de marbre. L’ homme devant elle, etait ravi dans son oeuvre. Elle etait jolie. Ses yeux d’une brun douce et-ses cheveux d’or etaient du meme couleur dont il avait songe, et s’il pourrait seulement reproduire le riche teinte rouge de ses joues, le succes de son portrait serait assure. Enfin le jour de la distribution des prix, etait arrive. Felise se presenta de bonne neure dans le salon, merne avant l’artiste. Que de temps il semblait avant que les juges dirigeaient ieur attention a son por- trait. Maintenant, ils l’avaient examine, maintenant ils etaient retournes. “Oh,” pensait-elle, “Ne fineront-ils jamais” Sa tete etait tourbillonnee, maintenant-Elle ne put voir que les figures taches des juges. Il lui semblait des siecles avant que les juges, enfin, marchaient a l’estrade pour announcer les noms de celui qui avait gag-nait le prix. La voix profonde de Phomme etait de la musique a son oreille, parce qu’ il dit, “La Coeur de’un Femme,” Richard Fenley, Americain, obtient le prix. Tonte chose devenait subitement noire et elle ne savait plus rien. A la fin, quand elle—ouvrit les yeux, elle etait couchee sur nu sofa dans l’atelier de Dick. Le medecin et lui etaient debout avec in quietude a sa cote. “O, vous l’avez gagne,” s’ecria-t-elle. Alors, Dick s’inclina soudainement et la prit dans ses bras. “Oui, ma plus cherie,” il repliqua, “Parce que vous n’inspirez.” Alors le medecin 6orta et ferma la porte doucement. Mabelle Thornton. —G4— Spanish Department. La Iglesia de Guadalupe, Cerca de tres millas fuera de la Ciudad de Mejico es la vieja iglesia de Guadalupe. Existe acerca de esta iglesia una tradicion que ayuda hacerla la mas interesante en America. Esta tradicion es la fabula de “LaSenora de Guadalupe.” Juan Diego, un pobreMejicano,mientras yendo a la misa un Sabado, el 9 de Diciembre de 1531, oyo musica en la cima de una colina, y cuando llego al lugar encontro uoa pulcra mujer, quien le dijo que era la madre de Dios, y tambien que debria erigir una iglesia a su honor en aquel lugar. El viejo Mejicano fue inmediatamente al obispo, Don Juan Zumaraga; pero cuando este oyo la cuenta no la creyo Descorazonado mucho a esta recepcion, regreso al lugar y hallo a la Virgen, quien otra vez le dio el mismo mandamiento, pero cuando regreso al obispo, le dijo que estaba loco, y si era la verdad tendria que ofrecer una prueba. Cuando fue otra vez a la colina, la Senora le dijo venir el proximo dia por su prueba. Entonces fue a su casa, donde hallo a su hermano muy enfermo. Este ultimo se puso mucho peor y muy temprano en la manana del 12 de Diciembre, Juan fue a llamar un sacerdote y no queriendo encontrar a la Senora otra vez, fue por un otro camino. No obstante la encontro en una colina esteril y le dijo cortar algunos flores y llevarlos al obispo por una prueba. El, con mucha sorpresa, corto algunas rosas muy hermosas que vio crecer y tomandolas en su blanquilla fue a la oasa del obispo. Cuando llego, echo los flores a los pies del obispo diciendo, ‘‘Aqui esta su prueba,” y dentro de la blanquilla estaba un muy excelente retrato de la Virgen. Este establecio una prueba de lo que el Mejicano habia dicho era la verdad y ahora una iglesia esta situada alii. Esta iglesia, conteniendo sus joyas,planchasde platoy de oro, es una de las mas ricas en las Americas, y seria con ningun paralelo en todo el mundo si no 1 ubiese sido que lo mas de las joyas y otras cosas preciosas fueron confiscadas por el gobieruo al tiempo de la reformacion debajo de Juarez. El altar solo contiene cincuenta toneladas de plata y la costa original era §1,181,000. Ademas, el altar esta ornamentado con oro sacado de una mina en la vecindad. Despues del tiempo que el oro fue sacado, la mina ha estada cerrada para dar mas honor a la Virgen. La idea crece con los Mejicanos que seria una profanacion de entrar un lugar sagrado, y desde aquel tiempo hasta ahora ningun Mejicano ha cruzado el umbral. Muchos Americanos habian ido alia y hallado grandes cantidades de oro, pero como ningun hombre entrara, el oro tiene que quedar en las minas. El milagroso retrato esta suspendido sobre el altar. Artistas en todas partes del, mundo continuan a disputar el metodo en que esta pintura de la Virgen fue pintada. La mas cuidadosa y experta examinacion microscopica no ha determinado si el color es aceite, o color de agua, o alguna cosa incognita, y todos los ataques contra la autenticidad celestial de este curioso blanquilla han caido a la tierra. Harry D. Hynds. —65— La Familia de Alvareda. En cste libro hay una historia que es tan antigua que el mundo. Hace muchos anos que la hermosa Helena de Troa fue la causa de una gran guerra. Sietnpre la mujer ha hecho la discordaneia. Con los Franceses se dice, “cherchez la femme cualquier haya sido la cosa. Aqui vemos dos familias felices, viviendo cn amistad, hasta que Perico Alvareda quiera casarse con su prima Rita. Este es el primer senal de la nube que, en poco tiempo, crecera hasta que destruya arnbas casas. El tio Pedro y su hijo Ventura querian a la familia de Alvareda, como si habian sido emparentados. Ventura amaba a Elvira, hermana de Perico, una azucena en su pureza, una violeta en su modestia. Perico se habra enamorado de Rita, su prima. En vano su madre le dijo, “Perico, la misma sangre se rechaza. No casate con Rita.” El empenaba y al fin la madre consintio. La boda de Ventura y Elvira debia celebrarse, cuando la tropa extranjera vino, ataco a tio Pedro, y Ventura, hab-iendo matado a un soldado, tenia que huir. Despues de seis anos, Ventura regreso de repente. Habia estado soldado, pero ahora penso quedar en casa. Rita ya se habia casado con Perico, y tenia dos hijos, pero estuvo cansada de el. Ventura era muy hermoso y era tambien Elvira, quien se habia enfermado, afligiendose por el, y estaba para morir. Siempre Rita habia hecho las cosas a su antajo, ahora quiso fascinar a Ventura. Era muy bonita, pi-cante, viva—Elvir era muy palida ay del-gada, porsupuesto Ventura amaba a Rita. Todos los dias ella cantaba, tejosuoplanas, y el olvido la houradez, la obligacion, toda cosa para sus bellos ojos. El buen Perico no desconfio de nada, hasta un dia, cuando volviendo a la casa, su hijo le dijo que la madre habia ido con Ventura a la fiesta. Perico fue alia y vio a los delincuentes bailando y cantando. In-mediatamente se resolvio por venganza, y el proximo dia, encontrando a Ventura, le mato. Entonces se escapo, y fue con una banda de ladrones. Algunos meses pas-aron ; al fin Perico fusilo a un hombre, con quien los ladrones tenian asunto. La jus-ticia tomo su curso, fue cogido, y ahorcado Todas estas maldades vinieron de una causa—Rita. Su madre no habia tenido vigor ni caracter suficiente para doblegar la condicion aspera y decidida de Rita. Como nina mostro esas malas cualidades, y cuando se hizo mujer, era la misma. Su caracter era violento y su corazon frio. Hizo muchisimo mal en su vida y ayudo a nadie. Esperemos que hay pocos tan sin honradez que ella.

UST a century ago John Dalton was striving to prove his famous atomic theory, which he gave to the scientific world in 1807. To-day Dr. Loeb, of Chicago University, is working hard, with success seemingly not far distant, proving his theory of the ion’s relation to life. Dalton believed that the atom (the smallest conceivable division of any element) has a definite relative weight as compared with that of hydrogen, which he assumes to be 1; and that the composition of a chemical compound is constant, that is, that the elements of which it is composed, always unite in a definite proportion. To be able to see clearly the difference between a compound and an element, a definition of the terms becomes necessary. An element is “one of the ultimate, homogeneous substances of which anything is composed,” or to make it clearer, any substance which cannot be divided into two or more simpler substances. A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements, chemically united. .Now, as Dalton said, the composition of a chemical compound is constant. Taking water, IPO, for example, which we know is composed of two parts of hydrogen to one of oxygen, we find that the smallest conceivable division of this compound, the molecule, still contains two parts of hydrogen to one of oxygen. These parts which compose the molecule are atoms. It has been found that Dalton did not go quite far enough in his theory of the atom—that an atom of one element does not always replace one atom of another element, as he believed, but may replace several, according to their respective atomicities or valence. Valence is measured by the power of an atom to combine with hydrogen. By hydrochloric acid, HC1, we see that the valence of the chlorine atom is one; in the case of water, H20, the hydrogen atom is shown to have a valence of two; and by carbon dioxide, CO2, the valence of the carbon atom is proved to be four, since it combines with two atoms of oxygen, and we have just shown the valence of the oxygen atom to be two. Valence is sometimes represented by arms or bonds; an atom of carbon has four arms, an atom of oxygen two, hydrogen one, etc. This valence bears a close relation to the ion, which I shall consider next. If two salts are mixed together, a reaction seldom takes place immediate-ljr, or if it does, the action is weak; but if one or both the salts be in the form of an aqueous solution, a reaction -80- takes place at once. When a salt or an acid is dissolved in water, the atoms are dissociated or torn apart. Then when another salt is added the dissociated atoms are free to combine with others and form a new compound. Although somewhat dissociated in the form of a dry salt, the atoms are not enough so to react to any great extent. Now, when a solution is formed and the atoms are dissociated, the violence of the tearing apart electrifies them, one set beconiing charged with positive electricity, the other with negative. These electrified atoms are called “ions,” and the process by which they become electrified “ionization.” Suppose that we have a solution of common salt, sodium chloride, NaCl. In forming the solution, the sodium atoms become charged with positive electricity and the chlorine atoms with negative electricity. If we place the two ends of a copper wire into the solution, a current of electricity is started, just as in the case of a voltaic cell, except that in this case the current is many times smaller. Metallic atoms are always charged positively, and non-metallic atoms negatively. Surrounded, as the ionic theory is, in a metaphysical fog, one is naturally surprised at the simplicity of its proof—a process with which many of us are very familiar—electrolysis. When we used the electrolytic apparatus to prove the composition of water, we noticed that when the current of electricity was passed through the electrolyte, which in this case was water, the oxygen col- lected in that side of the U-shaped tube at which the current entered—the terminal known as the anode; and that the hydrogen passed to the terminal where the current passed out—the cathode. Now the cathode is the negative pole and the anode the positive pole. Hydrogen, although a gas, is sometimes regarded as a metal, and we saw that it collected at the cathode or negative pole. All metallic ions do, and for this reason are called cathions. The oxygen collected at the anode or positive pole, as non-metallie ions always do, hence are known as anions. Every one is familiar with the fact that bodies oppositely electrified attract each other and those electrified alike repel. Then since the oxygen ions were attracted by the positive pole, they must be negatively charged and since the hydrogen ions collect at the negative pole, we know that they are positively electrified. Had we 'used a solution of any salt or acid the results would have been the same. Using a solution of sodium chloride, for example, the sodium would have collected at the negative pole and the chlorine at the positive one. But if after electrolysis had been completed, the current were turned off and the solution allowed to evaporate, the sodium and chlorine ions would have re-combined to form the original salt. The ionic theory aids the student of chemistry much in interpreting many of the phenomena with which he meets from time to time. For instance, he knows that concentrated sul- —81— phuric acid lias but little action upon iron or zinc, while the diluted acid attacks those metals readily. Experiment shows that strong sulphuric acid scarcely transmits an electric current at all—that is, it contains very few ions to cary the electricity. Likewise, pure water does not transmit a current; yet if you dilute pure sulphuric acid with several times its own volume of pure water, the mixture becomes an excellent electrolyte. The sulphuric acid is strongly ionized. For a metal to be attacked by an acid, there must be ionization, and this is secured by diluting with water. In electrolyzing water, it is customary to add a little sulphuric acid, for the purpose, it is said, of rendering the water a better conductor. Really, however, the acid is thus broken up into ions, two of which are H and SO . When the current is passed, the sulphate ions in moving toward the positive electrode combine with the hydrogen of a water molecule, and set free the oxygen. Thus, primarily, the hydrogen that is evolved comes from the sulphuric acid, but this is eventually restored by an equal amount from the water, so that the results obtained express the true composition of water. The most wonderful phase of the ionic theory is its relation to life, a relation which Dr. Loeb has given twenty, years of his life to prove. He has discovered that the beat of the heart or the contraction of a muscle is wholly due to the action of ions. Then it is reasonable to suppose that one kind of ions causes a muscle to contract and the other kind causes it to relax. The Chicago professor has practically proved this and much more. He.found that by placing an excised heart in a solution of sodium chloride, it could be kept beating for several hours, and stopped or started by the addition of certain salts. Different salts, of course, supply different amounts and kinds of ions. Now, all ions do not carry the same amount of electricity, for the amount it carries is determined by its valence. Each arm or bond carries a separate charge, hence the four armed ion of carbon is able to transmit four times as great a charge as the single armed ion of hydrogen. Poisons act upon the human heart in much the same way that the salt did upon the excised heart which was placed in the sodium chloride solution. Many of the salts that he used were poisons. We all know that the effect of alcohol upon the heart is to quicken the action. Arsenic has the same effect; so we may simply say that these poisons supply the ions which cause the heart to beat. But we know that only a limited amount of a poison can be used with safety. Dr. Loeb found that when he had started the action of the heart with which he was experimenting, if he continued adding the same salt, the action would cease. The purpose of the food taken into the body is not altogether to supply material to worn out portions. It is afso to supply ions; and the value of —82-• food depends in a great measure upon the amount and the kind of electricity it supplies. Such is at least the belief of Dr. Loeb. If this is found to be true, a revolution will indeed be effected, and electricity, with its ever increasing applications, furnishing heat, power, light, and life itself, will prove to be superior to the rulers of this age, and in evolution the era following the Age of Man may be known as the Age of Electricity. Earle Hali.ar. The Manufacture of Wrapping Paper, HE subject of paper making would fill volumes if anything like a complete, systematic explanation of the different processes was attempted. Wood, grass, straw, cotton, rags and the pulp of the Egyptian papyrus plant, are some of the fundamental constituents from which this important article is made. The finer grades are made altogether from rags, hemp and the papyrus plant, and the coarser grades, such as wrapping paper and that used for printing newspapers, from wood, fiber and straw. The purpose of this article is to describe briefly the process of making common wrapping paper. This style of paper is made from wheat straw, brought in by the farmers after the wheat harvest is over. A good sized pile of this, making perhaps twenty or thirty tons, is dumped into a large wooden vat, and soaked in fresh lime water of moderate strength. The object of the lime water is to produce a very rapid decomposition. After the soaking has continued until the straw is a wet, soggy mass, the lime water is drawn off, and the straw dumped into smaller vats. Here it is thoroughly soaked with lime water, and runs through a set of rapidly revolving knives which cut it up into pieces about an inch long. A stirrer is constantly kept going in these vats to push the pulp against the knives. When the fiber has been passed through this set of knives three of dour times, more water is added and the ground-up mass is drawn by suction into what is called the fine grinder. This machine consists of a funnel-shaped cylinder whose inside surface is covered with knives of flat steel, set about an inch apart and running lengthwise. Inside of this cylinder fits a core of solid wood, whose surface is likewise covered with knives. This core revolves at the rate of from 600 to 800 revolutions a minute. The straw fiber, drawn in by suction, as described, flows into this grinder at the large end, and coming into contact with the knives, is instantly ground into a thick paste, and flows out the —83— other end into a large steel tank. From this tank this pasty substance, which is, in reality, nothing but very finely ground straw, runs through a gate, something like a sluice box gate, onto an endless wire belt, called the papyrus web. A shaking motion from side to side is given to this web by machinery to spread the pulp evenly over its surface. , This endless belt carries the pulp between two rolls, made of hardened steel, where a great deal of the water is pressed out, giving the pulp some body. It would not yet support its own weight, however, and is carried by another belt to which it is transferred between two more sets of rolls, where most of the remaining water is pressed out, and the paper receives its final compression. The paper must next be dried, and this must be done very quickly so as not to interrupt the sheet of paper as it comes from the compressing rolls. This is accomplished by passing the wet paper around a long line of large hollow steel cylinders, heated by steam. After the paper has passed over ten or twelve of these l’olls, it is perfectly dry. Finally, after passing between eight sets of highly polished steel rolls, it is wound on steel bobbins. It is then cut into desired lengths and stacked away in store rooms. P. J. N. -84- Physics. HEN the lowly junior enters for the first time the lecture room and laboratory of the physics department of our school, a certain feeling of awe comes over him. This feeling is not only caused by the general bustling and businesslike air of the room, but also by the objects which greet his eye. It seems strange to see all the different kinds of apparatus in their glass cases, and one feels as if he were in an entirely new place other than the same old Central High School, which he is so used to seeing. Physics, of course, is of most interest to boys, although the girls enjoy it too, and it is helpful in after life to both hoys and girls. The daily recitations are conducted in the recitation or lecture room. It is here that we learn all principles and laws pertaining to the study of the elements of physics, having a few simple experiments performed before the class. Our laboratory work comprises experiments actually performed by ourselves, which prove the facts that we have learned in the lecture room. Our whole course is divided into three parts, which are Molar Dynamics, Molecular Dynamics and Ether Dynamics. The first includes the dynamics of fluids and solids and also takes in the study of sound. The second includes the study of heat and the third that of light and electricity. All of this work is taken up in the lecture room and we then go to the laboratory and complete the experiments to our own satisfaction. Even with the many difficulties which must be encountered in a school like ours, the work in the laboratory has been done this year with almost complete satisfaction, both to our teacher and ourselves. Of course, we have not all of the necessary apparatus, and on account of this some very interesting experiments have not been taken up. In connection with this apparatus a word might be said concerning the physics shop. It is surprising to find how few A)f the pupils know of the existence of this branch of the physics department. It is here that almost all of the apparatus used in the laboratory is made bv boys from the various physics classes. The school board gave to the shop, this year, a new metal lathe of fifteen inch swing, and also a large circular saw. Of the work turned out in the shop this year, a lifting pump has been made by James Donovan, a force pump by Will Maclaren, and several other pieces of apparatus by Will Cooper, Ray Hoover, and myself. The largest piece of work attempted this year is the three-horse-power steam engine, which is being construct - -85- ed by Kay Hoover, Will Cooper and myself. This engine is an upright one, having a cylinder of five and one-half inch stroke and four inches in diameter. The engine has not yet been completed on account of the many unavoidable delays which have been encountered. However, we intend to be able to complete it in the early part of next fall. The cross head, cross head guides, and cylinder have already been completed, besides many small parts. Thus the work in the shop has been progressing steadily, and by next year we hope to be able to do much better and faster work on account of the better equipments which will be in at that time. Our shop at present contains two metal lathes, one of sixteen, the other of ten-inch swing, a wood lathe, jig saw, circular saw, emery wheels, drill, and several other smaller but needful machines. Now to turn to the regular work again, when we first began the study of physics, we know no reasons for the various phenomena that occur about us every day. For instance, if you visited some large city you might ride on what is called a turn-over railway. In this railway a car loaded with people goes down a steep incline at the foot of which is a loop and here at one time the passengers, car and all are upside down and the car still running on the tracks above them. The question is, how the car manages to stay on the track in going over the loop. One who has studied physics simply applies the law of central force and has solved the whole problem and can find just what momentum is necessary to keep the car on the track. Thus we have things in every-day life which puzzle some people, which, when solved, will come directly down to a law of physics. Some persons cannot tell you what a steam engine is. They think that its chief necessity is a boiler and a fire, when, in reality, these are only accessories to the engine itself. In the physics department all these things are explained and we understand the engine’s whole order. Thus we do not have to go ignorant through life as to things a person really ought to know. We have learned this year how the electric lamp works, how when a high current is sent through it the little wire or filament in the lamp becomes white hot, and placed in a vacuum gives off a brilliant yellow light. The state of the filament’s being white hot is called incandescence, hence the name, incandescent lamp. These few examples show how interesting and how helpful have been the things which we have learned in our physics work this year and the work done here is gaining us the reputation of having the best high school physics department in the West. -86- Eyerett Copley. The Art Department—Reasons for Studying Art. HE art department is one which is given comparatively little attention, but it is also one which is certainly of great importance. In the Central High School the art room is so small for the number of pupils, that the best results cannot be obtained. However, when the pupils do their part, the generous and untiring efforts of the instructor accomplishes more than one would suppose. It is impossible to estimate the real value of such a study as drawing. -Sighting” trains the eye of pupils to see things as they are. An ordinary person will not realize of what advant' age this is until he has made a study of it. He learns to measure distances accurately with his eye, and to see objects in their true proportions. The study of color, too, is of great benefit. It shows the pupils the relation between light and shade, as well as drawing does. The student soon learns to appreciate the beauties of nature’s coloring and tries to imitate it. In time, this watching for the different tints and shades in objects develops in the pupil an artistic sense of the harmony of certain combinations of colors and the lack of harmony of others. , Then when one becomes interested in these studies they often grow very fascinating. A true student of art will learn to pick out the good points in a picture—a lesson that cannot but afford him the greatest pleasure. It is a pleasure, also, to try to draw and paint scenery well. One feels that he has accomplished something when he has come a little closer to perfection. But “art for art’s sake” is not the highest motive for studying art. In trying to make something perfect we, ourselves, come a little nearer perfection. A studv of the beautiful must in time make its impress on our characters. We can also teach others to love the beautiful if they do not already love it. They, too, are deeply impressed by this kind of study. It cannot but be of the greatest influence to a person to look for the good points in everything he sees. And so the work of art goes on. Everything of beauty does its part toward making man the perfect creature God meant him to be. —87— CORA PICKETT.

The several stenographers had folded their tiny desks and carefully placed them against the wall in order to make a passage for their departure. A young man of some 18 years was the last of these clerks to leave the room. “That boy,” said one of the two old men who were left, and whom we shall know as Quincy Morton, “is chuck full of spunk and determination. I’m bound if I can see why he don’t realize his condition. Father and mother dead and he livin’ with me.” “But,” interposed his companion and partner, Ephraim Stiver, “he’s your nephew.” “Yes—s.” “An’ I often heard you say as you owed your start to his dad.” “Well, I—” “Wait!” exclaimed Ephraim. “You can’t deny the fact that lie’s worth double what we’re payin’ him here, and -89- still, what he earns seems to carry him through.” “Well, I hain’t exactly talkin’ ag’in my keepin’ him. I’d be kinder lost without him. But that hull-headed way of wastin’ time at that High School is what I am ag’in.” “Wastin’ his time?” said Ephraim, rising.” Wastin’ his time, is? If that’s what you call carryin’ off all the honors of the school and a heap of respect thrown in, I’m plague taked if I ever trust you to show your head in the pit ag’in.” “Is them medals money?” asked Quinejr Morton, raising himself as if to gain confidence, but a softening of the lines in his face told Ephraim that his arguments had not been received without result. “Are these writin’s of his ever goin’ to give him a tip on May wheat ?” “Nop,” answered Ephraim, sitting back in his chair like one who had felt his task ended and was standing back to admire his victory, while he added the finishing touches, “but if he puts the same effort into his business that he used there, he will get as much in return. But, say, Quincy, it’s gettin’ late; let’s go home.” The two men arose, and after donning their hats went out into the great hall together. The foregoing conversation only touches upon the theme which they often discussed in their leisure moments. Quincy Morton was one of the old school men who felt that high school and college education was a waste of time, and that the “three R’s” were a sufficient foundation for a successful business career. Still, there was one characteristic in his nephew which he most admired, and that was determination. It was because of the thorough saturation of his own character with this spirit that he had pulled the firm of Morton Stiver through many tight places. Let us return to the young man whom we saw leaving the office. He was of medium height, but so well proportioned and possessing a face so frank and honest, that his introduction to a stranger gained more than a passing notice. Richard Morton, for as such we will know him, was by this time nearing his uncle’s home. The huge mansion was of dull, gray stone, and showed its lower walls but dimly through the huge trees which surrounded it. Within, the gloomy aspect was carried to the extreme. Antique furniture, sullen rugs, dark frescoes of weird scenes, an abundance of dust aided in the effect, for while the elder Mortou was not miserly, he had always endeavored to conduct his household affairs with about one-third the required help. Hence, while everything was in its place, for there was no one to move it, the whole had a neglected appearance. In this place of gloom lived the uncle and nephew together, yet apart. The younger man spent his evenings diligently studying, while the elder, after smoking his pipe, made his nocturnal tour of the house and retired. Occasionally the old man spent a few moments in the library closely watch- —SO— ing his ward at work, then as he went to his lonely room, his mind was filled with other thoughts than “puts” and “calls,” while he tried to argue with his obstinate self. Thus the time passed on, until in the following year a great change took place. Business matters had for some time been going from bad to worse, until the firm of Morton Stiver decided to make one supreme effort to regain its feet by a heavy speculation. For ten days after this decision was reached, the lonely chamber of Quincy Morton missed its master. At last, the end was reached, and the firm was so successful in its venture, that upon summing its profits it found its bank account raised beyond any former instance. The night following this happy day the elder Morton slept in his own room, but the few rays of the morning sun which labored between the window blinds next day, saw a distressing sight. Across the. bed, with clothing on, but disheveled, lay a man. TIis gray hair was matted and tangled, while his withered hands were grasped as in the last pangs of agony. The nervous strain had been too great, and Quincy Morton was dead. On the day of the funeral all business was suspended at the Exchange building, and the busy, rushing feet which trod its tiled floor inarched slowly to the graveyard behind Quincy Morton’s coffin. During the entire ceremony Richard was in a daze. His sorrow buried itself into the very depths of hia heart, where it gnawed upon the true love which he bore his uncle. It is often the case that a love which has not been outwardly expressed lies deepest in the lover’s heart, and such was Richard’s case. He never knew how much of his own life his uncle really was until the good old man was torn from him. Finally, the administrator was appointed, and the greatest surprise, for to the independent nephew it was no shock, was unfolded. His uncle’s will was opened and read. To Ephraim Stiver he gave his bank account and such a part of the business as would leave enough for a living to a second party. Richard was to be the said second party, and to receive also the home, to be held until he died, not sold, and at his death to revert to his lawful heir. Further, it was stated: “I give my nephew full privilege to attend col-' lege.” The last statement caused some comment, but there were two who fully understood it, and to one of these it seemed a bitter sarcasm. When the reading of the will was completed, Richard wended his way homeward, musing on the fact that he was as unable financially to attend college now as he had been under his uncle’s former ban. He had scarcely arrived home, when Mr. Stiver, exhibiting an extremely nervous state, called to see him. “This,” said Stiver, handing the boy an envelope, after a preliminary salutation, “is a letter which your uncle gave me, saying: Tf I die before —91— Richard finishes his education, give him this.’ ” Nervous Mr. Stiver left without further question of the letter. The younger man noticed his unquietness, and murmured to himself: “I hope that it is not our business which bothers him.” Then thinking of his share of the partnership, for since his uncle had died he had made no formal claim, he added: I’ll investigate this after- noon and take my share of the burden.” As his mind rapidly turned over this question, his hands were quickly opening the envelope. Stepping to the window, he read: “Richard, my nephew, I love you for that which I disliked in you. Such determination as yours must certainly lead to success or—ruin. Behind the black chest in mv bed room you will discover that the baseboard is loose. Remove it, and you will find a picture of your old uncle. Keep it as a token of my love for you.” This hiding place was unknown to Richard before, and he hurried to his uncle’s chamber. Moving the black chest, he pulled at the baseboard, which swung open, revealing a sort of inner cupboard. In the front, leaning with its face downwards was the only picture of his uncle which he had ever seen. Hastily grasping it he held it in the light, while great tears trickled down his cheeks. How long he stood gazing at the picture, he never knew, but regaining his composure, he turned to close the door of the secret opening. Then to his great amazement he found the support of his uncle’s picture to be a tightly bound bundle of currency. Upon closer examination of the hiding place he discovered another packet of bonds amounting to more than he had ever dreamed his uncle to be the possessor of. The brokers had prophecied that within a week the firm of Morton, Stiver would be no more. Great was their surprise, however, to find every margin met by an appropriate sum from the fated firm. The market was at last broken, and the price of corn shot skyward, placing Morton, Stiver Company with an even $50,000 ahead. The day following the end of this transaction, Richard graduated, and in the very front row sat Mr. Stiver, whose honest face gleamed with joy when Richard Morton finished his valediction. The day after graduation the young man formally assumed his share of the partnership, but the following winter found him diligently stud}ing law at Yale, trusting his business affairs to his true friend, Ephraim Stiver, who was gradually filling the vacancy left in Richard’s life by the death of his uncle. —92— J. WILL CARENCE, ’02. Sunset ’Gainst a big gray rock On the coast of France, The waves of the ocean Dash and dance. And the sea-gulls dip, And skim and float, Each riding the crests Like a white-winged boat. The Sun god smiles As he spies the maid; At the shrine of this lass His homage is laid. But she is of Earth, And he of the cloud— To him love for mortal Cannot be allowed. And there ’mid the clouds Of the western skies, Wrapped in bright colors The Sun god lies, And turns his face slowly ’Round toward the East, Where Dawn waits to greet him, When darkness has ceased. So he draws his mantle Of violet hue, Broidered with gold And crystal dew, Sadly, sorrowfully, Over his breast, And with darkened face Lies down to rest. Oo that big, gray rock That is kissed by the sea, A little brown maiden Is watching with glee, As the tide rolls in Toward her resting place, And beats at the cliff, Dashing foam in her face. The maid leans her sweet Brown face on her arm, Kisses her hand So soft and warm, Whispering gently, “Farewell, sweet light,” And the god, in answer, Smiles “Good night.” Gwkndoijn Edwards. Macaulay and the Poets. HE theory that, as civilization advances, poetry of necessity declines, is not new with Macaulay. Many others have sinned awkwardly on the same topic. But his development of it, although characteristically dogmatic, is so masterly as to demand refutation. Macaulay’s idea as to what constitutes a poem is his chief heresy. He defines poetry as the “art of employing words in such a way as to produce an illusion on the imagination.” He evidently admires Iveatsism—takes a mere sensuous delight in the rhythm— the imagery of verse. But is this alone poetry? Pure literature? A poem is an articulate soul; not merely a succession of word pictures—a personality. “The great poet is eminently sane,” not, as Macaulay says, the victim of unsotindncss of mind. “Truth is indeed,” he says, “essential to poetry; but it is the truth of madness.” Grant the philosopher mad and the argument is lost. For poetry has been and should rightly be the highest organ of philosophy—the one the search for truth, the other the expression of truth. Arising from this basic difference of opinion, comes Macaulay’s theory of the decline of poesy. “Nations first perceive, then abstract.” But barbarous nations are in the elemental stage; they particularize, and Macaulay asserts that their poetry gains superiority by virtue of this particularization. On the other hand, he states that “moderns generalize, make better theories, worse poems; look less at individuals, more at classes.” Yet Burckhardt, one of the highest authorities on the intellectual development of the Italian renaissance, says that it was the emergence of the individual which marked that epoch in human advancement. Every great civilized nation has experienced the same revolution in which man advances from a being conscious of himself only as a member of a race, people, party or family, to a personality which recognizes itself as an individual. Reverse this process, and man reverts to barbarism. It is to the portrayal of this personality that modern writers devote their efforts. Again, Macaulay speaks of the moderns giving us personified qualities instead of men. This is an unfortunate assertion, for it is generally acknowledged that allegory belongs to the earlier stages of literature. To cite Milton as an exponent of his theory that learning is fatal to poetry is decidedly inconsistent, since, in his criticism of Milton, he states that this poet owes his great charm to —94— his frequent allusions to literature, mythology and history, rather than to direct explanation. This was mado possible by the poet’s learning, yet in the same essay, Macaulay says: “The poet must take to pieces the whole web of his mind.” According to him, the exquisite enjoyment of fiction is better than the clear discernment of truth. This enjoyment he finds in poetry that throws an illusion over the mind—a sort of phantom verse. Plato banished such poems from his republic as truthless and enervating, as filling the mind with idle visions. For Greek Plato held, as did our Robert Browning, that “poets never dream—we prose folks always do.” , Macaulay’s most remarkable error is found in the statement that civilized, learned men do not feel as keenly as do their barbarian brothers. Perhaps we moderns do not fall into convulsions during the recital of a mighty epic, but this fact, which is largely due to our self control, points to a higher enjoyment of the poem; not merely sensuous, physical pleasure, but an intellectual appreciation. He who increases knowledge feels not less but more. Greater knowledge, nearer truth. Yet truth is God and God is love. As we approximate truth, is not our capacity for suffering, for enjoying widened and deepened? From the feelings of the elemental man who raged and shouted, we are slowly broadening to that mighty Godhead whose vast emotions flow so deep that they are not heard at all. This discussion brings us to the point where we must decide who is the greater poet, a Homer or a Browning. For the ancient Greek we must undoubtedly answer “Homer.” He was intelligible, he was himself an ancient Greek. But for the man of the present age, Homer is insufficient. The reader wants sympathy, and this he will find only in the later poet. Browning would be worse than useless in an elemental age. Today he stands among the powerful of the earth, the wise, the good, great among the greatest. It is a waste of energy to compare poets of different ages and asK whi- b is greatest? Each is greatest in his own epoch. The question for the reader is: “Which is the best for me?” The answer must be: “The contemporary.” “Man is ever the prime object to man,” and the more “sympathetic the object, the greater is the interest of the reader. The chief pleasure of reading is to find one’s self in the work of another, a thing more probable in the writings of a man of one’s own day. Each new age has new questions, new thoughts, new (‘motions, and requires new forms of expression. The great poet bodies forth the soul of his own era. “Your brains beat into rhythm, you tell. What we felt only.” Your work is present, vital, personal —it is life, life unsatisfied, great, wonderful—more wonderful because it is so near. —95- RUT II M. WEEKS. In the Whispering Gallery IIE Armstrongs had decided to go abroad. It was a sudden move on their part, but not any more sudden than the case required. The cause of their hurry was Miss Phillis Armstrong. As usual, she had been up to some mischief, family—or more strictly speaking, her mother— had decided that the best way to get her out of her present trouble, and to keep her out in the future, was to take her away from home. So the house was torn up, the furniture stored, and all were ready to start on the next steamer. Miss Phillis bothered herself very little about these arrangements She was too occupied with her own affairs. She was a bright, merry girl, fond of getting into trouble, so that she could have the pleasure of getting out again. Ever since she had begun to walk she had kept her relatives filled with fear for her well-being. But everything had seemed to go smoothly until the end of her last school year, when she had found herself in the most entrancing position. She was in love! The object of her affections was a young man of the college town who was rapidly working himself up the ladder of fame, and as he returned her affection, they became engaged. Phillis kept it a secret for a time. and then, feeling that she could keep it no longer to herself, she told her dearest friend, first making her vow to “never tell!” The friend, while talking to her mother, happened to mention the fact, and that worthy lady, feeling it her “sacred duty,” told Mrs. Armstrong. Immediately there was great excitement. Miss Phillis was called back to Washington, and preparations for the journey began. As for the engagement, it was not considered for a moment. Not that they had anything against the young man—oh, no, indeed. From what they could learn, he was of an excellent family, was good looking, and was highly thought of, but he was poor, and—well, not exactly the kind of a husband for a girl of Phillis’ standing. So the mother wrote a short, crisp note to Mr. 1 Inland, forbade further conversations on the subject, and the matter was dropped. Phillis took the turn of events very quietly; entirely too quietly, her mother thought, and as she saw her daughter grow more listless day by day, she wished that she had not been quite so severe. But trusting to new faces and surroundings to change all this, she said nothing. She did not know of the numerous little notes which found their way to and from the house, nor did she see anything strange in her daughter’s constantly meeting the T and her —96— same young man, day after day, in their drives. He was only one of her college friends, Phillis said. The day before they sailed, she and her mother went to take a last look at the capitol. Phillis had always been fond of this place, and had reserved it for the last. Although she would have liked to have gone alone, her mother seemed to have suddenly taken a great fancy to the building, and insisted upon going with her. So they strolled listlessly through the building, each very much bored and wishing she had not come. There were a number of visitors to the capitol that day, and when they entered the Whispering Gallery, Phillis saw a familiar looking figure standing in the shadow of a statue at the farther side of the room. She immediately become very much interested in the first picture which met her eyes. Now as Mrs. Armstrong cared very little for art, and as she saw some of her friends a little way off, she thought that she could safely leave her art-loving daughter to look at the paintings while she discussed the latest society news. This was exactly what Phillis wanted. She stood by herself, every now and then casting a side glance in the opposite direction; but not being able to catch his eyes, and always meeting her mother’s instead, she turned away with a little sigh. Suddenly she heard her name spoken softly: “Phillis!” How well she knew that voice. She looked up quickly, expecting to see him standing beside her, but to her surprise, he was standing where she had seen him last, gazing unconcernedly at the walls. A puzzled look came into her eyes, but she waited for further developments. “Phillis!” Again that call. Where did it come from? Suddenly a look of enlightenment displaced the one of perplexity, and she smiled gleefully to herself. She was standing on the Whispering Stone! She glanced toward her mother, then whispered “Yes?” “Can you hear me?” came the answer. “Yes.” “Then don’t look this way, but listen, for we haven’t much time to spare. I received your note and everything is ready. Go home now, and instead of going to the dance tonight, go to Mrs. Burdette’s. She is my aunt, and I have told her all. I will be there with a minister, who will marry us, and we can go to England with your parents on our wedding tour. I have been offered a chance to go abroad for a firm in New York, and it is a splendid opportunity. . Answer quickly, for there comes your mother. Will you be there tonight?” “Oh, yes, yes!” “What were you saying, Phillis?” asked her mothei-’s voice at her side. “I was only thinking what lovely things they have in the ‘Whispering Gallery,’ ” answered Phillis, carefully evading the question.

THE PHOTO SKETCH By C. H. SHIELDS, Kansas City, Mo., 1902. The photo sketch (or etching) is an artistic marriage of the camera and the etching- brush or tool. The exquisite sensitiveness of the modern dry plate gives an instantaneous and accurate impression of a gesture and the most fleeting of expressions. Yet no lens, however delicate, cau produce a photo sketch, for its very handling advances beyond the province of technique; it is, indeed, as distinctive in its qualities as the stroke of the painter’s brush upon his canvas. As in portraiture, the subject before the camera is used merely as a basic principle—the dominating idea. Grace and charm may be inseparable from the model, yet the spirit that intercepts and presents them under a selected aspect is recognized as the individual possession of the artist. The photo sketch is developed on the same lines of inter pretation. We now, in part, throw aside the camera, and try to idealize the subject with the etching tool, which gives us unlimited freedom. The man behind the lens must see with other eyes than the camera, and look beyond, as it were, to the completion of an idea. The photo sketch embodies some of my personal theories regarding the application of art principles to photography, and, in a word, we have entered an era in photography that gives it a place in the high arts, and it now becomes the duty of every up to-date photoist to educate the public that there is something more in photography than the ordinary commercial picture at $3.00 per dozen.
