A Tale of Ye Olden Times. 9 ' . '-4-4 3 If ' l fuw p, FTER ten months of hard labor a crowd of girls went to visit my grandmother for a few weeks. She lived in a lovely old house, e- 2 , ' 'tl F full of those relics which so charm young girls. fo ' 'Ir . . . . . k' A l One rainy afternoon grandma sent us all to the attic to rummage in the mysterious looking chests. Au hour or - ' WG.. rx so ' ' ' 'M two passed quickly: we dressed up in some old gowns that belonged to grandma in her youth and even to her mother. ia K' One of the chests contained letters, yellow with age, and other trifles which grandma had preserved from her girlhood days. K Gigi., -5' Among these we came across something tied up in paper, which perhaps had been white at one time, but 11OXV was as 0 l yellow as tl1e letters. Here is something that has a history, I am sure, said one of the girls, I wonder if' grandma will tell us about it. It's just the day for a story, so come, girls, let's go down just as we are and listen to a 'tale of ye olden times.' So down we all trooped, and very quaint and fantastic we must have looked in those gowns from fifty to one hundred years old. We found grandma in her room and as she looked at the package we gave her, she quietly remarked: I expected you would find this, my clears, and I was sure that it would excite your curiosityg for if I am not mistaken, girls are famous for discovering old relics and asking for their history. - XVe all clustered around her for we could tell from her manner that something very interesting was coming. 'When we were all com- fortably settled, grandma tenderly unwrapped the package, and held up before our eyes two satin slippers, so small that it seemed impossible that any one could ever have worn them. These two had been white at one time, but now were yellow with age. Grandma stroked them gently with her hand and for several moments was silentg but Finally she pushed back her spectacles from l1er eyes, and began her story. Many years ago I was rummaging in the attic of my grandmother, just as you have been doing this afternoon, and I came across the slippers tied up just as you found them. I took them down to my grandmother and asked for their story. After she had Finished I begged her to let me have the slippers, but she said that she couldn't part with them then. Not long afterwards, however, she died, and I took possession of them. They belonged to your great grandmothers sister. She was but a young girl full of life and hope, when heart trouble came upon her. After a few years, it apparently left her, and all hoped that she was entirely cured. lVhen she was about twenty-three, so the story runs, she was invited to a grand ball given by one of the magistrates of Boston. These were the slippers she wore. See how small they are! How proud and lovely she must have looked as she stepped daintily into her sedan chair, and what a belle she must have been at the ball! Imagine her, my dears, in her quaint costume, dancing the minuet with the gallant cavaliers! I saw the very house when l was a girl, and stood in the very room where she danced so gayly. The very spinet stood in the same corner where it stood on that memorable night. But to go on with my story, dears, she was dancing to the music of a waltz, when without a bit of warning she fell over-dead. She was taken to her home, and for a long time her gown and these slippers were preserved, but her gown was finally destroyed and all that is left to us of her is her slippers, But now, for the strange part of my story. A hundred years passed by after the girl's sad death, and during all this time the house of the magistrate remained intact. You know, dears, how solid those old mansions were made. About the year 1840, a young lady and her brother went to make a visit at this old home. One day, she was looking through an old cabinet which stood near the spinet, and among other things she found tl1e music of an old waltz. It was dusk, and the lighted candle on the spinet, shed a dim light around the room. She started to play the waltz, but stopped almost instantly, for she thought that she heard something. She turned around, and there in tl1e middle of the tioor she saw what she thought were two little white mice, dancing. She mera-ly caught a glance of them, however, for as soon as the music stopped, they disappeared. Thinking that they had gone back to their holes, she began to play again. She turned around a second time, and there those little mice were again. In a few moments her brother came into the room, and she told him to watch the mice. She began again to play: Suddenly she heard her brother give a low cry. He told her to keep on playing while he went nearer. In a few moments he came back to the spinet as white as he could be. 'They are not u1ice,' he exclaimed, 'but little feet in white slippers-dancingl' They looked at the music and saw written on the front of it, these words: 'Waltzwplayed at Winslow's ball, january, I7.lO.' i l They hastened to ask about this and their hostess told them about the ball and our great-aunt's death, and they told her of what they had seen. Whether there is any truth in the story that what these people saw, were the feet of our aunt dancing to the music of the waltz that was played for her to dance a hundred years before, I leave for you to think about, but however true the last part of my story may be, it is certain that these slippers incased the little feet that danced for the last time that night. As grandma finished her story, we all drew a long breath, and, involuntarily we glanced at the middle of the floor, as if we expected to see little fcet dancing there. But grandma, you haven't told us the girl's name, I said. Her name was Dorothy, and if you had looked a little farther in the chest, you would have come across her miniature. Tomorrow you may look for that. just then the teabell rang, and as there was no time to change our gowns, we all went down to tea just as we were. Grandma said that even Dorothy in l1er quaint costume of a hundred and Efty years ago could not have looked quainter than we did in our gowns, as we sat around the tea table that evening.

Standing by the railing on both sides of this walk is a reception committee, consistingiof Sophomores, juniors and Seniors. Every Freshman who enters the building must run the gauntlet. XVhile he is being pushed from one side of the walk to the other, the victim consoles himself with the thought that the next year will find him on the offensive instead of tl1e defensive. B Following the directions of the teacher, who stands at the door, the stranger climbs two llights of stairs and discovers that he is in the attic,l' the abode of the Freshmen. If he is bent on having fun, he soon finds that the reference table is an excellent place to whisper, for he can pile up books to protect himself from the teacher's gaze. Many a note he writes, and many a time he is caught in the act of passing these messages to his neighbors. Different punishments are indicted for such misdeeds. At one time he is ordered to stand in a corner until he sees a classmate whispering and reports himg but his smiling countenance, and the conversation slvlv carried on with the erson nearest him Hive evidence that he will not com lv with the teacher's re nest. At another time . . P e- . fl - he is sent to a cloak room where he amnses himself by trying on the girls' hats and cloaks. . By the time he becomes a Sophomore he becomes more dignified, and determines not to disgrace his class by getting into trouble, besides he has a front seat in the big room, and is closely watched. All is well until the Principal, who has stepped out of the room for a moment, comes back just in time to catch our friend in the middle of a sentence, and orders him to betake himself to the bench. The rest of the dav is snent in listenin to Geometry and Latin recitations which are not verv interesting exce t when something funn ' is said. The . l . Y . s P s. 3 boy does not realize the significance of the term mourner's bench until school is dismissed, and he is forced to listen to a lecture on sneaks, He is very proud of the class colors, and bravely, though in vain, does he tight for them when they are stolen by the Seniors. VVhen a junior he occupies a seat more centrally located for the greater part of the year. The reading recitations and the labratory work are the chief sources of amusement. On Field Day he shouts for the members of his class until he can scarcely speak. Ou Commence- ment night, in order to maintain the standing of the juniors, a joke is played on the Seniors. As a Senior he occupies a back seat for a few days, and then takes a front one, in order that, being in front of them, he may Set a good example for the lower classes! Much pleasure is afforded by collecting Grinds for the annual, which he is confident will prove a success. In june he is presented with a diploma and steps out of the High School, hoping that the members of future classes will follow his good t?j example. v ' 7 ' fwffzf 4- ,W l Y , ' x ,,,,gXx. 5 fl., Qy 1,3-f ag .-f-A -'wig--E 'f , Hi , Y 4 .

Frank, Harry Nincle, Urban Miller, Sam C. King and Chauncey Hart, formed a debating club. These gentlemen are all graduates of our high school and are, with the exception of Mr. Hart, all living in Fort XVayne. The Constitution and By-Laws were drafted in judge L. M. Ninde's law oliice, and the society was called tl1e Clay Club. This organization met every Friday in the criminal court room of the old court house, and important questions of the day were discussed, and usually left to the decision of some prominent attorney. Poems and essays written by members were a feature of the weekly program. The Clay Club existed, as near as I can ascertain, about fifteen years, and was certainly beneficial, For one of its charter members in speaking of the organization said to 111e, I derived much pleasure and good from that society. It was just line. It seems that the linal dissolution of the Clay Club was caused by the many social and athletic duties of some of the members. There was a debating society in the High School for Five years after the dissolution of the Clay Club. In the fall of ISQGQ the class of '99 formed its Lyceum. We were only second years then, and of course the other classes ridiculed the idea and some of the teachers opposed it. Never- theless. in spite of these detriments, when we had received permission from the School Board to hold our meetings in the large assembly room of the high bers, bate, term school we launched our society, Through the ability and untiring efforts of the president and the co-operation of his fellow oflicers and ITICID- the organization became a success. Questions of current issue, as well as the famous authors, were discussed, In addition to the regular de- it was the custom of the society to secure some local speaker for each meeting. The Lyceum continued in this manner throughout the school and until February of the next term. V At this time the Lyceum decided, for two reasons, to take in the other classes, excepting the Freshmen. In the lirst place, the ranks of '99 XVGYB getting thin, and we thought that we could do better work with more members. Then, we thought that we were rather selfish in depriving the members of the other classes of the vast benefit we were deriving from our Lyceum. Hence the Union Debating Club was formed and followed the plan set down by the 99 Lyceum. This organization also had a very successful issue and disbanded at the close of tl1e school term in 1893. s This year, several young men interested in debating clubs conceived the idea of forming such an organization for the male members of the High School. Their action caused much disappointment and some anger among a few of the young ladies who are desirous of developing their oratorical ability and becoming stump speakers in the cause of wornan's rights. The society meets every two weeks on Friday evening. Often during the year, when no program had been prepared, various members would volunteer to debate exteniporaneously. These meetings always proved to be the most interesting. Though no eloquent and elaborate speeches were delivered, still interesting and original arguments were always given. They showed clearly how much good was being derived from the organization. One of the wisest actions taken by the society was its electing Mr. Schultze president, Through his knowledge of Parliamentary law, Mr. Schultze has made an admirable chairman, and by his kind advice and friendly criticism has rendered a vast amount of aid to us all. In conclusion, we, the Class of gg, who upon coming into this high school awoke the waning interest in debating clubs, earnestly hope that when we leave the school, this interest will not be allowed to smolder and die. WHO? The speaker stood in the Geometry class Propounding a proposition deep, He talked and talked 'till their came a voice: Mr. S. you may take your seat. The speaker stood in the Congress halls Debating on questions deep, He talked and he fumed 'till the Czar said: Time's up! So take your seat. :N if 1 L:-LL: ., . ,Ma -1 Quai We ' .lr UN 4- A nother Commencement Crime. f + my K mf Urs fe.: sf-ffv el fi I NlJ'3'C7gd'3f ' 7' if Hl-I last of tl1e few days of school hung like ill-boding clouds over the high perched heads of the Seniors.

'Q journal, but then the Seniors had to look out for their own safety and we cheerfully forgave them. tlf we do anything that is at all out of place, you must remember that Ruth is dead now and we have no one to go to for advice, therefore you must excuse us. I Several dashing young boys ot' the Sophomore class were asked to assist our boys-the Seniors' real reason being to prevent the naughty juniors from having any fun at their expense. But they found out that the Sophs were not angels either. The Temple was guarded night and day, and when the last day came the mighty Seniors heaved a sigh of relief for not a junior or Soph had attempted to enter the building and not Ollli of them showed any signs of coming fun. The Seniors had not remained after school the day when they extended their invitation to the juniors and did not see tl1e group of wily boys contidentially talking to each other in the assembly room. Profound thought made them speechless for some time, then a merry voice rang out, I've got it, boys? I've got it 5 The way they acted one might have thought that they had something awful: but it was only a brilliant idea. Yes, and there were others too, but nothing nizich was said about them until the last afternoon before commencenient. The junior girls were in great demand and telephone mes:-ages H-ew from house to house. Door bells rang violently and in embarassment the shy lassies with their hair done up on curlers opened the door and were confronted by a pufhng usher. At last evening came. At seven o'clock six fair maidens made their way to the balcony of the Temple and sat, three on either side, near the boxes, One Carried a suspicious looking package. In a short time the guests began to arrive, and for nearly an hour there was a continual chatter and the rustle of silks and pretty ball gowns. At eight o'clock the lights were lowered. Not a sound was heard. The heavy curtain slowly rose and before the audience sat twenty-seven young men and sweet girl graduates. All heads were bowed during the prayer for the departing class, and, no doubt, each rnemlrer was thanking his lucky star, because the juniors had been so good to them. After the orchestra finished playing The Graduates, Professor Foulke, of Chicago, stepped before the people, his very appearance held them spell-bound. He turned to address the graduates, but, hark, what is that! was expressed on the face of every person. It was only the flapping of wings and a suppressed giggle. And then there rose before the audience four beautiful carrier pigeons, and with every flap of their graceful wings long streamers of f7I1l77fL' and ygftlfdl waved deliance to the outwitted Seniors. The people saw the joke and heartity applauded. Several of the Seniors managed to put on a broad grin, but most of them shot savage looks toward the gleeful ushers. One pigeon enjoyed the joke as much as tl1e people and carried it farther by struting across the stage and spending the evening beneath one of tl1e chairs, that the Seniors might enjoy looking at our glorious colors all during the exercises. After tl1e excitement ceased the graduates put on their evening dress faces again and seemed relieved, because they thought the joke was over. jay alone appeared uneasy and kept his eyes on the six fair maidens in the balcony. How could he help it though? An hour later, when all attention was centered on the Valedictorian. a square piece of white linen m Jved slowly out from one end of the balcony and, opening in midair, revealed a-a-well, I clon't exactly like to say it, for it was really nieang but, any way, but people usually call such an animal jack, and his com- panion jennie. At any rate, as the '9S 011 the end showed the picture was intended to represent the departing class. Poor Seniors? Poor Seniors! ! They alone rnust attempt to express their feelings. Never was a class more anxious to have the curtain drop than that one. XVhen they reached the Club House the triumphant juniors greeted them. From the lapel of each coat hung the puzjrlu Hlld gold with strips of the picture and the Spanish flag The graduates pretended to have forgotten the joke and hoped that others would do the same, but what was their surprise and their feelings when they saw Mr. Lane and others congratulating the juniors, and declaring that the pigeon joke was the prettiest ever played at a High School commencement. 5 .2 1, 633-if ,115 we Qmllz e5 's- Buy the Celebrated RLjK,.,.fs., JKA.7RLf' '1 ye: P.. 2 Lv . :f. ..'.r y Flay-es' ' -' TT .

The Ex-Junior Picnic. iowa , 'fr 'r ' , Y . . . . 'J Q Q- , f 4 H1'I last week of school had coine, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others. I can't say that the juniors were not glad that their P 151' , : ,W g B 3 vacation was so near, but I can say that they were sorry and almost heart-broken to lose one of their best and most popular N K E ' i In teachers. J 2, ' I Q6 liizaw- 5 Miss C. had been offered a fellow-ship in the State Vliiversity of Pennsylvania. The juniors were proud to think that one of ' A J 37153 their instructors should be given such an honor. So a crowd of junior girls gathered together and discussed several plans by which they might show their appreciation for Miss C. They finally decided to give a picnic in her honor. TMDL' C13 The questions now came up. Whom shall we invite? XYhat shall we have for lunch, and XVl1ere shall we give the Q picnic? All these questions but the nrst were decided upon. The girls, ex-juniors now, were undecided whether or not they would invite the boys. They knew the boys thought as much of Miss C. as they did, but they didn't want to invite them. They were also afraid that it wonldn't be right to exclude them. I am afraid they were a little jealous of the boys, so they decided that they would not invite them. .-Xt last the appointed day came and a merry crowd waited for the coaches that were to take them to a beautiful summer resort north of the city. XVhen the coaches arrived, all the girls scrambled to get a seat next to Miss C. But as every one could not sit beside her, they took tl1e next hest thing and sat as near to her as they could, On their way, the girls talked over the question that was so hard for them to decide, and said they hoped tl1at they would see none of the boys at the resort. You can imagine how they felt when the first persons qhey saw when they reached their destination were two boys of their class. Entering the grove, the jolly crowd was beseiged by two news reporters, much to the sorrow of the crowd who did not want the uninviterl ones to know about the picnic. You see the two boys they inet did not know the particulars of the case, and had no way of Finding out unless some of the girls would tell them. After the news reporters found out all they could, the picnicers decided to hunt for a place where they might eat their lunch. One of the girls said, I know a good place where the rnosquitos are not plentiful. The whole crowd answered, Alright, you lead the way and we will follow. Their guide led them across a rustic bridge into the wild part of the grove, over fallen trees and through shrubbery. Finally they were led down a steep l1ill and over what had once been a bed of a small stream. ' One ofthe girls became disgusted and cried out, Where under the ? She happened to think that there was an older person with them, and said: XVell if you had to carry this cake, you wouldn't lead us in such places. Still l don't care if you wnnt to eat mashed Cake. At last they came to a table and decided to eat their lunch rather than carry their packages and baskets any further. Here there were so many mosquitos that each one had to use her handkerchief to keep them away. The waving ofthe handkerchiefs must have attracted the same two boys that they had met on their arrival, for the crowd had hardly been there five minutes when the boys appeared on the scene. XVell, the girls didn't know what to do or what to say. They didn't want to ask the boys to stay, and they didn't want to give them too much of a freeze out at once. The result was that Miss C. did most of the talking. The boys stood around awkwardly, and looked as if they wished they had never come into that neighborhood. Finally they left, going right across some low, wet ground and followed by the warning cry of the girls, There are snakes in there, to which the boys answered, XYe can stand the snakes, XVl1ere upon one girl said, They can stand snakes, but not such a 'freeze out' as this, The crowd now decided to eat their lunch. The cake was not mashed as it was supposed to be, and it was placed in the center of the table. The sight of the lunch made the girls forget all about the boys, and in a short time all were talking and merrily laughing. It was now nearly time to return to the city. The somewhat tired picnicers climbed into the coaches and were soon spinning over the country roads on their homeward journey. A Street Incident. L '- Of , - rift if' V t 3, j l XX Ab very W?tl'1ll. Iuyery one was either wiping the perspiration from his face or using lns handkerchief to hide his starchless collar. fm U i The hootblacks were as warm as tl1e rest of humanity, hut at least one of them seemed to he taking things easy. He was sitting , f 'Q l on a hox and leaning against the store, with his hat pushed hack on his head, a cigarette in his mouth, and his feet drumming , ,dst V 02' Q, against the box.

He looked at r A , C K the huildings and names of the streets as if he was searching for some place, As he looked up and down the street as if he was 9 searching for some place. As he looked up and down the street he passed our hootblack several times. He was evidently a stranger in the city and had lost his way. He seemed very much put out about it, and apparently hated to ask any one to help l1im. Finally he conquered his pride, went up to our hootblack and said: I should like to go to the Union depot. The little I'Elg-llllllzlslll took l1is cigarette out of his mouth, held it lvetween his tingers, pushed his hat farther hack ou his head, looked at the old man awhile, then drolled out: XYal1, yer kin go if yer wanter.

THE RAVEN. fNo'rI-:-'I'liv janitor handed this to thi- Editor, saying that he fonud it on the 'tbenchu in Room No 9 1 ' Once upon a school-day dreary, as I pondered, weak and weary Over many il seam and crack that lined the floor- XVl1ile I nodded nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping As of some one gently rapping, rapping at the big-room door. 'Tis some visitor, I muttered, Tapping at the big-room door- Only this and nothing more. II. Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And the soft, uncertain rnstle of each honieward passing pupil, Had thrilled ine-filled nie with strange terrors never felt beforeq So that now to still the beating of my heart I paused repeating, 'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at the big-room door- That it is and nothing more. III. Back round to the window turning all my soul within 1ne burning, Then again I heard a tapping something louder than before, Surely, said I, that is something at the window dark in shadow Let nie guess then what therent is and the mystery explore. Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore, 'Tis the wind and nothing more! IV. XVeari1y I gazed and muttered, when with many a flirt and flutter, Forth there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisunce made he, not a minute stopped or stayed he, But with niien of lord or lady perched beside the big-room door, Perched upon the clock slow ticking just beside the big-room door- Perched and sat, and nothing niore. ' Y. Then this ebon bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling By the grave and stern decofrum of the countenance it wore, Though thy crest be shorn and shoven, thou I said, art sure no craveng Ghastly, grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore, Tell me what thy lordly name is on the nights plutonian shore? Quoth the raven iiNCX'6Tl1lOfC. VI. Much I nlarveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though it's answer little meaning, little relevancy bore, For we cau't help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird beside the big-room door. Bird or beast upon the plain carved clock beside the big-room door - With such a name as Neverrnoref' VII. But the raven, sitting lonely on the plain-carved clock spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered: not a feather then he fluttered- 'Till I scarcely more than muttered, Other friends have left here, surely On the morrow I can leave here, as my friends have left before. Then the bird said, Neverrnore. VIII. Prophet! and I, thing of evil!-prophet still, if bird or devil! VVhetl1er tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate, yet all undaunted, near this well worn spot enchanted, Near this seat by horror haunted-tell me truly, I irr1plore,- YVill I, will I never leave here, tell ine,-tell me, I implore! Quoth the raven, Nevermore! A Few Facts. f NYESTIGATION reveals the fact that eight inenlbers of the Senior class believe in real live ghosts. Nineteen say that there are no such things. One person says that she believes in mn' ghost, but no auiount of persuasion could induce her to mention it's name. Eleven Seniors believe in dreamsg eleven say pshaw, when asked if they believe in thein. Six say, well, may-be, some- ' 4 times. Some Seniors say they do, as far as dreams indicate a disordered-well, you know what. gg' ny , al ' Ten Seniors attend or favor the Congregational Church. The Lutheran Church ranks next on the list having seven members Y in the class. Then coines the Presbyterian with live niernbers. Three Seniors .Say that they attend the Negro Church, but these C is three fair young ladies u ere try ing to jolly the editor when they said that they went to the Negro Church. The Episcopalian 9 and Baptist Churches have each one attendant in the class. There is one Atheist in the class, In politics the Republicans are nineteen strong. The Gold Bug Democrats number three, and the Free Silver party has one representa- tive in the graduating class. Five Seniors have not inade up their ininds as to what party they belong, but froni present appearances they will join the Republican ranks. By the votes of the junior and Senior classes, Mr. C. T. Lane is considered and declared to be the most popular instructor in the High School. Mr. .-X. B. Crowe is held to be the easiest to get along with. Algebra iuust be the hardest study in the school, for there seems to life no other cause for the classes saying that Miss Blynn is the hardest instructor to study under. The last question voted upon was that of the prettiest miss in the junior and Senior classes. Miss Bessie jones is declared to be the prettiest young lady in the junior class, Miss Jessie Reitze has the second place on the junior list. Among the Seniors Miss Glo Miller is given first placeg about her stand Misses Agnes Murdock, Lilian Lauferty and Nannie XVillian1s. WAITING. Oh the weary wind sobs thro' the pine trees, And the moaning waves beat on the shore. And the sails they pass in the twilight, But the ship I love comes neverniore. She sailed from the port in the spring time XYhen turquoise and bright was the sea, XVhen the robins were nesting and singing And the Flowers in bloom on the lea, Then Came summer in beauty and plenty, And Autumn with harvest of gold. Then winter that set our hearts throbbing Ax we watched thro' the pitiless cold. And many a year have I waited Thro' the spring tide and summer of life, I have watched for that ship's masts and rigging While my heart waged a pitiful strife. And I'll wait through the autumn and winter, And I'l1 wait 'tilliI leave earth's dark shore, I'l1 be true to my own Breton laddie, 'Though the good ship return neverniore. YOUTH AND SPRING. Youth and spring do not last foreverg Indeed, for us they are too soon done, For just us spring turns into summer Manhood comes and youlh is gone. Early spring is full of flowers, But every one uf these must fadeg Happy are youth's Fleeting hours, But Old ,IHIIICYS Scythe cannot be staid. After the spring must the summer be, And spring comes but once a year: Before our manhood, our youth must flee, So let us. enjoy it while its here. M.

Nina Astray: Of course it hurt your feelings to have somebody else read the note john wrote to you, but you should soon become reconciled since you read it first. Augusta Sewell: A broken heart can sometimes be mended with glue, It is real kind of you not to whisper in the labratory: it certainly pleases the Professor, Grace Benoy: Probably you will rind a position as chief cook, if you advertise in the 'QQ Vedette. Mabel Durnell: It is not desirable for your stiddy company to be more than two feet taller than yourself. Maud Sponhauer: Some of that gentle-man's sayings are: twenty minutes for dinner, let tl1e latin be your guide, and Immortal Ceasarf' Ethel Saylor: There are two ways of spelling the word-Belle a fine lady: Bell, a little boy who tries to be a line gentleman. Mamie Anderson: It is had taste to be late for Chemistry when the Prof, wishes to hurry through tl1e recitation. Lilian Ortman: Do not worry over your lessons: your school days will so.:n l Willsonl be over. Nannie XVilliams: A pony is a small horse. Nina Graham: You are setting a good example, and the little Sophomore who used to be in front of you is following it to the best of his ability. Please wear side-combs. Glo Miller: It would be a good plan to tell the young gentleman who sits nearest you not to waste so much of his precious time in writing notes to you when you care nothing for him. Louise Raser: The Encyclopedia will give you the desired information about the niistle toe. Mae Shepard: It was very kind of you to see that the little Frenchman reached home in safety. v Ethel Taylor: Read Burns' Poenis. Jessie Reitze: They were laughing hecause you were running to your seat. Grace Brown: If you call at Bruder's every morning they will tell whether they have received anything new in the jewelry, Myrtle XVilding: Yes, we think that you have grown an eighth of an inch in the last year. The C. L. C.: XVe cannot agree with you in thinking that you are the whole Soph. class. Sidney Schwarz: Only the questions asked hy the young ladies are to be answered in this column, but we deem it prudent to step over the bounds, since you are in need ofthe advice, You should refrain from writing notes to the young lady, when you find that she shows them to her friends. 1 Side Talks with Boys. C-e-t-rk-e-The nlustaclie grower you speak of is the Imperial. It is perfectly harmless, and is applied by a small brush which comes with the prepziration. E-w-O-r-I never recommend hair dye. I advise you to leave your auburn locks alone. G- -r-e,-i-k- Rest, a poem by Abram -I. Ryan, contains the words you wish, I desire, what I have long desired, rest, only rest. S--n-y,-w-at-You can probably have a collar, as high as you mentioned, made to order, but why not wear a cuff, it would be much less expensive. Fr-u-, Be-v-r-It is not customary for young men to wear side-combs, but why not set the fashion? Very pretty ones can be had set with Rhinestones. C-a-l-s, R4-h-chiad. lil l-The quotation you speak of is, Children should be seen and not heard. lB.l Yes, an Eton jacket is quite suitable for a very young boy, they are usually wore with blouse waists, with large sailor collars. A-v-n, L-c-l-n-I know of no way of increasing one's stature, unless perhaps it is by the use of a stretcher. You can Find one of these at any of the undertaking estziblishiuents. jo-- I-h-s-n-As xi rule, girls do not care iuueh for soft speech from young men, but there are some whose teeth are so brittle that they cau't bite at anything else. I advise you to be on the safe side, and not run the risk of incurring a girls wrath by hot buttery kind of talk. Ch-rl-s Thay-r-I think the trouble with your lower maxillary is overwork. The best remedy I know of is rest. Take a dose of it four times a day until relieved. G--rge -r-y-r-No, I don't know where to find the quoatation you spoke of, but here is another quite as appropriate, I think. It is taken frmn an old manuscript and 'Wlieu you have found a day to be idle, be idle for a day, XV-lt-1' Ha-i-ton-Some tronibones would perhaps make more noise at school than that music box. You could probably trade the music box for a pair of these at Iickart's meat market. K-rn-e Ev--s-I never advise the use of curling-irons for young men, They not only injure the hair, but are dangerous when they are hot. A better Way to do, would be to roll-up your locks in curlers every night. Be- Be-l-If you cannot find a dictionary deiinition of monkey to suit you, erha s 'o ivht b bl p p y u ni U e a e to Find it in some Natural History or the like. ' I--e W'-l--n-Mistle-toe is used only at Chrisrnas time. It is never best to stand under it if you do not care for osculation, for I agree with you that it was very embarassing for that girl to kiss you, but clon't worry: she probably didnt mean anything serious. Bu--s -0--1-s -You say that you want to be a great lawyer, but you have no oratorical ability, You will probably be great, at least, I judge so from your description of yourself, but as to your oratorical ability, I advise you to go down to the banks of the Maumee and use Demosthenes method.

In a moments' space the years roll by, But for the Fast we have only a thought, For on the Future's brink we stand, And from our hearts we breathe a prayer, Oh, Lora of Hosts, stretch forth thy hand, And guard us with thy loving care. Our Present is bright with hope and youthg With honor our Past shines pure and fair, So forth we go in our armor of Truth, Asking our Maker's love and Care. And though we stumble, we shall not fall For before us ever shines clear and bright A vision of love surpassing all, That gives us Hope and Faith and Might 4 Iw 1 ' W VE Wv ' l I l y V 1 V! 1 W 1 l W Q lx fxx - !

If THE MEMBERS of the Class of '99 are beginning to realtze, with a feeling of joy and sadness, that the time is X rapidly approaching when their high school life will be at an end, the time when they shall no longer be under D the guidance of their teachersg the time when the walls of the High School will no longer be a history of the i X. g great men and women of the Class of '99, except as far as they have influenced the succeeding classes. It is quite natural that we should at this time look back on the four years of our High School life. 4 In September of the year 1895, we entered the High School, We were humble enough to be satisfied with XJ the old building, although our ability and good character were deserving of a new school. XVe spent our first year quietly and in earnest study, knowing that in any undertaking it is of the greatest importance to start out well. XVe very soon became attached to the juniors, and, with the ex t' f l t cep ion o a sxor time during the following year, remained so. On the other hand, we disliked the Sophomores very much, because they were so conceited and overbearing. There were, however, no serious troubles during the first year, Having entered the second year, we soon showed what a brilliant class we were by effecting not only an ordinary class organization, but that of a debating societyg and further, of being the first class of this school ever organized under a written constitution. Our Sophomore history was more eventful than the history of any class of the High School before or after. Having made considerable progress in debating, the members of the society were anxious to try their skill at something else, that of being lawyers and other professional men needed at a trial. A charge of embezzlement was brought against Mr johnson, and an evening was set for his trial, The proceedings of this trial were very interesting. On account of lack of evidence against him Mr. johnson was acquitted. This same evening was the time for another memorable event, the Sophomore revolution of 1397. Mr. Douglass had gathered a large army of Freshmen and selected a few Sopho- mores as leaders. NVith tl1is aid he attempted to establish l1is absolute rule over the class. But his followers met more than their equals in an army of Sophomores headed by Mr. johnson. The latter succeeded in putting the enemies of the republic to to a disgraceful rout. Both of the events were entirely mock. Although the '97S and ,995 were always good friends, there was one quarrel between them. A few adventurous members of our class had climbed in through windows early one morning, and hung the beautiful purple and gold on the clock in the large assembly room. The Seniors were wild with jealousy when they saw our colors. They had to suppress their tempers till noon: then they managed to capture them, cut them into little pieces, and distributed these among the members of their class. The '99s waited till four o'c1ock, then they rushed on the insolent Seniors, and through their bravery won back our colors without paying a ransom. But we were soon to be requitted for the insult our colors had suffered. The reputation of the class of '99, as regards athletics, has already spread far. During our second year, our class took part in the field day sports, and to the surprise and vexation of the other classes, Sam Gibson, a member of our class, won the first prize, the gold medal. It had previously been decided by the Athletic Association, that the class which should win the first prize should have the privilege and honor to exhibit their colors in the large assembly room. Accordingly, one morning a large flag of purple and gold with '99 embroidered on it was seen hanging in the room. The Seniors and juniors looked on it with much envy, but what could they do? They had solemnly pledged themselves to let our colors unmolested. And who should think that a class of our High School would break a promise? But the '98s could not resist the temptation: they were base enough to steal our colors. Our class has, in spite of its efforts, never been able to recover these colorsg but is certainly more to the discredit of the '98s than the loss of our colors was to us. At the beginning of our junior year the debating Society was reorganized, and the debates continued with the same good results as the preceding year. One of the questions that came off for debate was whether the Curfew law would be beneficial to Fort XVayne or not. The vote of both the judges and the members of the society was in favor of the ordinance. According to the decision of the class, a petition to enforce the ordinance in this city was sent to the city council. No doubt, the fact that the Curfew law is now in force is due largely to this petition. The Seniors and Sophomores saw however, to undertake the organization society. This lead to the formation of main in existence longer than the end Dnring our junior year we were must have been for the Seniors! They what a fine thing our debating society was, and would liked to have organized one, too. They were afraid, of such a society all alone, and therefere begged the juniors to admit members of their class into the the l'nion Debating Society, which, although it was a source of pleasure to the members, did not re- of the year. again successful on field day: jim Wilson won for us the gold medal. What a sore disappointment this had probably hoped to gain a little honor by ending their wholly uneventful career at High School with some accomplishment on field day. But this could not beg for it would not have been in accordance with the saying, all is well that ends well. s During the Christmas vacation our class again showed its originality and enterprising spirit by giving a concert. The event, like all our undertakings, reflected great honor on the classg it was a success, both as far as the program was concerned, and also financially. To the commencement night we looked forward very anxiously: for we too were to commit a commencement crime. What we did that evening again showed the originality and also the artistic taste of the class of '99. The particulars of this crime are described elsewhere in this book, and need not be given here. During our Senior year no events of any consequence have occurred. All tl1e members have tried hard to make the last year especially creditable, not only by getting their lessons well, but also by good behavior. It is certainly striking that no front seats have been assigned to any seniors this year. In one other particular our class has distinguished itself from all preceding classes, namely, by presenting our principal with our class pin. The history of our four years at High School has been very eventful. It is to be hoped that, when in a short time we leave school, our history will not be ended. It is true, we will no longer have a class history. But judging from the the character, ability and schoolwork of our class, the future has much in store for us, and many great men and great women will look back with pride to the time when they wore the purple and gold of '99.

WHEN school opened in the fall of 1896, one of the largest Freshmen classes that has ever entered the halls of A the Fort XVayne High School began its high school career. The class, however, was worthy of attention not 'J . .. . Qggf' only on account of its numbers, but also, on account of the large amount of genius and ability that was mixed l .ma X X with the usual Freshman mischief. The class was by no means a goody-goody class Qin the estimation of I 'ffiiik X MA H, c X. ' X . Q some of the teachers it was a even very bad classj, but, although it furnished its full share of bench decoration and often called down the reproaches of the teachers during the year, it finished the Freshman course with un- X X usual creditable reports. All the usual pranks were played, and when these were exhausted, the fertile minds of the Freshmen soon suggested oghers. A while before the Christmas holidays, the pupils had been working hard and needed a holiday. The powers that be, however, otrtered no relief and something had to be done. Then it was that the gas, in league with the weather, offered a line opportunity which the Freshies were not slow to seize. By putting snow on the thermometer and slyly opening the windows, the temperature was soon so low that the teachers dismissed their classes. As the weather continued very cold, school did not convene for three days. During the year, Miss Park, a popular and beloved teacher, resigned her duties because of ill health, caused as some say by the great effort it required to keep pace with her precocious pupils. I VVhen one year of High School life had passed, and the class of IQOO was ready to enter upon its second year, the members began to think of putting away childish things and assuming the dignity that is becoming to Sophomores. Consequently the second year was very quiet, Early in the year a class organization was completed. The beautiful shades of olive and crimson were chosen as class colors. For several weeks every Sophomore was decorated with olive and crimson streamers. Although this fever wore off in the course of time, the glorious colors still remain an emblem of the greatness and glory of the class, Later in the year, it was decided to organize a literary society for the purpose of studying the lives and works of famous authors. It was in the meetings of this society that the talents of the pupils had an opportunity to display themselves. Many brilliant and interesting papers were read before the society and it was uri- animously declared to have been a great benefit. At the end of the year the class determined to follow the time honored custom of holding a class picnic. It was a success in every detail and those who attended will often look back with pleasure to their Sophomore picnic. The classes entered upon its junior year with a great show of enthusiasm, but with secret fear and trembling. As the year progressed, how- ever, this feeling wore away, for the juniors soon found that nothing could withstand their vigorous attacks very long. The deepest problems became simple and the hardest translations easy under the steady determination and application that has always been a characteristic of the class. A glorious future lies open to the members of the class and every indication points to a brilliant ending that must follow such a good beginning. OO' CLASS POEIVI.

MV' THE DAY on which the Class of 1901 entered the Fort XVayne High School was one of rejoicing for gli all. The staff of teachers recognized in our intelligent faces that look of great knowledge which only ., l,A, . a few people possess. Our first year proved that the teachers were not mistaken. Our daily recita- tions were perfect and our examination papers will he held forever as models of excellency. Our superiority over those who came before us, was shown by the fact that we were the First Freshmen to organize our class.

At the tirst class meeting, which was held the 28th day of September, oflicers , Wage-N. ii fj were elected, and the class took for their motto: Seize the present opportunity, and I in decided that gold and blue were to be the class colors, and the class Bower was to be 'Q XJ? I! the White Rose. f On the night of january the 13th, 1S99, two patriotic Freshmen climbed up a telegraph pole, which is back of tl1e High School building. They then crossed the roof and raised our colors on tl1e dag staff, the like of which never happened before. The members of the class of 1902 are more than proud of the two members, who got ahead of those witty Sophomores and raised our flag on the flag staff. As some of the ofticers of the 'ozs were 'o1j5s, it was decided in the meeting, which was held February 6th, 1899, to elect a new set of officers and that the class meetings were to be held the first Wednesday of each month. 'Q Historian. POE If you'll give me your attention I'll sing a song to you Of the famous Fort Xvayne High School, And its class of Nineteen-two. Perhaps you'l1 not believe me, But what I say is true, There ne'er has been one like it, The class of Nineteen-two. Our teachers, they will tell you That of classes there are few, Whose virtues are so many As the class of Nineteen-two. OF '02. They say the other classes Make them feel cross and hlueg But that they find a pleasure In teaching Nineteen-two. Ninety-nine will bear inspection, And Noughty-Nought will do, But the Sophomores are not in it XVith the class of Nineteen-two. It's handsome, and it's smart, And it's gritty through and through There are no flies upon it, The class of Nineteen-two.

O very dear to the heart of the average High School boy, for he knows that under its control foot-ball, base-ball, and last X X ,,, I AA 1 but not least, the Annual Field Day have become as important as they are in the school. Base-ball, foot.ball and Field Wi? a A-'li' Day are the most important subjects in the list of Athletics in the High School. Q ' Base-ball does not receive as much attention as foot-ball. There are generally class nines, and a school nine Mio I - . 4 . . . - lg OSU. X1 formed each year. It is to be regretted that the National game is not made of greater importance than it now is in the ' 'f'QF . Www ' . . . ' . . ect, school. It furnishes nearly as much, if not entirely as much, pleasure as does foot-ball, and besides it does not expose C' ' Q . . . . the players to the risk of broken bones, sprains, cuts and the other accidents that follow in the wake of the foot-ball game. l 0 There is no doubt as to what game the High School boy likes best. XVake a true devotee of Athletics up in the 6 middle of the night, and ask him what is the only game in the world, and l1e'll say foot-ball without stopping to rub his eyes. The Fort VVayne High School has been represented on the gridiron by some very good teams. The best team that the school ever had was that of '95. The teams of '96 and '97 were nothing out of the ordinary, but the year '98 saw one of the best teams that the school ever had. This team could and would work, and the only bar to its complete success was the fact that it tried to beat teams far above its class. However, they made a better showing against the Culver team than did the team of Wabash College. The High School should have a nrst-class A1 foot-ball team. There are enough boys of the right sort in the school to form such a team, and all that is needed is a little git-up and git in order to have as line a team as a High School can expect. Field Day is probably the most important day in the whole year to most of the students who have an Athletic streak in their nature. The first Field Day was celebrated in 1894. It was a great success as have been all those following it. The records made on Field Day are very good, and the gate receipts are O. K. The school holds the State High School Championship for the hammer throw and quarter mile walk. The running records are also worthy of notice. The next Field Day will be held in the latter part of May or in the iirst part of june at the Driving Park, It is hoped that the friends of the school will turn out and make this coming Field Day a greater success than any of its predecessors.

It was in 1891 that foot ball first received any M special attention in the High School of this city. In that year our foot ball career began with the organizing of a team with john ,,,1 , Berry Street. Here the team of 'QI rolled in mud and dirt as enthusiastically as do the teams on the Flats to-day. No games of importance were played that year. Ji In 1392 this team was reorganized with Bob Orff as captain. Several games were played with the Concordia team. Of these Y Crowe as coach and Charles A. Schmitz as captain.

'- I The following year, 1895, saw Clifford VVallace captain of the High School team. Only one game was played and our team won that. The game came off at Kendallville and the score was eighteen to nothing. With Alfred Cressler as manager and Fred Shoalf, later, Donald McDonald as captain, our team in '94 gained two important victories over Kendallville. One game was played here and the other at Kendallville. Our team of '95 was by far the strongest team we have ever had. This team played five games. In the first game the High School team defeated the Keystones. In the second game Decatur's proud team was defeated by the score of IS-o. The next game was with Huntington, and in this game our boys gave Huntington a victoryg the score being IS-14. The fourth game at Kendallville was a tie, 6-6. Though they played in seven inches of snow, neither side could snow the other under. In the fifth and last game the Kendallville boys came here, and both teams covered them- selves with glory-aud Lakeside mud. Each team came within a yard of scoring, but was thrown back each time. This game was by far the finest exhibition of foot ball seen in Fort NVayne. In 1896 Lee Hartman was manager ofthe High School team, and Herbert Lang was captain. Only one game was played and in this our boys regained the laurels that Huntington had taken from them in '95, It was a good fight and when it was all over the score was 6-4 in Fort XVayne's favor. In 1897 the team came out with Ralph Yarnelle as manager and Norrman Olds as captain. This team defeated the City juniors several times. The less said about the one game with Culver the better. Suffice it to say that they were almost killed in that game. It was here that Driesback, valise in one hand and foot ball suit in the other ran three and a half miles down the railroad track to catch the home coming train. In the year of our Lord, 1898, A. C. Keel II was made manager and Georger Drayer captain of the school team. Tl1e first game was played here against the Hartford City team. That team had heavier men and a longer period of practice behind them than did our team. The small crowd of spectators gave them little or no encouragement. Hartford XYOII by a score of II-5. The work of our boys was good, hut they lacked training. The one marked event in the game was the run and touchdown by XVillson. The team then went to Culver and played against that well trained 'leven. It was an outing for Fort VVayne, and-well-it was a practice game for Culver. The boys don't say much about that game and so I won'tg but this much leaked out, Culver won, 3541 Decatur was next played and in this game our boys won, 12-o. The last game was played on 'Thanksgiving day, at Hartford City. Our boys were defeated through lack of training for defensive work. When Hartford got the ball, they did not lose it but twice, and then when our team got the ball it was so weak from incessant hammering that it could make but one touchdown. Hartford had the advantage in weight and training, her end runs being very etfective. Fort Wayne did not give up until time was called with tl1e score 2 5-6. All our team needed was more training and eucouragement-especially encouragement. They worked and trained with fate, in the shape of the school and city against them. Give them your hearty support in every way and they will play better foot ball and uphold the name of the school. 4 ..O. ft: J 'Mfg 1-gxg-,pk ef Arthur Schultz., . . Paul Hopkins . Fred.

For some time after school began this year, the boys had been talking of forming a boys debating club. At last on October the iirst, a meeting was called. After much discussion, Prof. Schultze was elected to the presidency. Other officers were elected and a constitutional com- mittee appointed. Since then there have been many meetings. The debates have been interesting and instructive. At one of the meetings a mock trial was held. At others, different city gentlemen have talked to us on diijferent subjects. It is to be hoped that the society will be reorganized next year. .- x 4 m x W m, 3 1 I , , A , , x v ,X WT' ' N Y' ' 1 ' x X21 W ZW N V f Ng Q , New W IWW!

I lg , Clubs are schools so to speak for the training of the mind to quick thml-.ing and for preparation on whatever subject that is brought before them for consideration Q! Q f 3 Following in the footsteps of our elders we the students of the High School for a number of years hate formed X ik organizations composed of those who desired to le identified vsith that modern factor of progress club life The cry of organue and si steniatife has penetrated the four walls of our High School and ne can not but heed the lnspmng cry - ' XVe realize that our teachers are usinff every method and endeavor to bring out our thinking and reasoning power ' , 4' ' 1 in our studiesg and to aid their endeavors and at the same time have pleasant times ourselves, we have formed clubs with . . I various objects in view, In spite of our want of experience we feel that we have derived great benefit from the clubs. a v i, LUBS, as a general thing, are organized and conducted for the moral, social and intellectual development of their members. - o ' -s -. ,, .l.,l H!: k . . L V V . I . .A V. - . . Y 2 ' 6 1 ' The old saying, that Satan Finds some mischief still for idle hands to do may be well exemplified on the mental plane by having our minds well occupied with high thoughts which are brought out by the discussion of books, poetry, questions of the day and events of historic interest, so that there is no room for idle words or empty pleasures. So we have our Debating Society, where we accustom ourselves to parliamentary law and usages and in alertness and quickness of thought. Our literary clubs make us more familiar with the thoughts of great souls, who make the world the better for having lived in it and for having given to it the product of their minds. In our Musical Society we know that we are made the better by the harmonies that greet us in interpretation of some great and beauti- ful composition. Music is said to be the rnost spiritual, the most impressive, the most universal of all arts, and 'though all the members of the Junior Musical are but beginners it may be that some who have had their beginning right here, will reach the highest round of fame in that divine art. There are other clubs in our midst, that have for their object the practical one for cooking. No doubt, they agree with Oliver Mere- ditn, in that we may live without poetry, music and art fi it it it it if if it but civilized man can not live without cooks. To those of mature years companionship means much. To the young it is everything that brings joy and happiness, and there are only a few who do not look forward to seasons of sociability when congenial souls are united in just having a good time. An evening spent occasionally spent in merrinient has been the good fortune of some of the members of our school, and all are the better and the ties that bind our school friendship are strengthened by the social side of our school life. In all these club centers, if harmony and unity be the basis and if good feeling and fellowship be the motives, the class of '99, and those who come after us will go forth well equipped for the larger life into which we step when the doors of our dear old High School will be closed to L15-EIS students-forever.

Ah Sylvia's charming, and Sylvia's fair, And 'though she has such a daity air She knows how to golf, and row, and wheel VVith all of a sportsman's earnest zeal. So 'though I'm fonder by far of books, Of grassy dells, and shady nooks, I golf with her 'neath the broiling sun, And call it the jolliest kind of fun. And I wheel with her over vale and hill, When I long to lie by some sparkling rill, And tell her in the sweet old way That I hope I may call her mine some day. But for romance naught does Sylvia care, But calls it stuff with a witching air. Yet somehow, when in our rocking boat As over the waves we drift and Boat. I say some things that I'm sore afraid Will anger this whimsical laughing maid, But the water casts a spell over her, And so she listens, and makes no demur.

'T ' Axbw OR something like a decade the English Question has loomed large and lowering on the educational horizon. The thnnder and fu A, lightning of criticism have detonated and flamed about us, while perplexed and affrighted schoolmasters have exhibited manifest more peaceful times: to those serene days when there was no English Question nor any other pedagogical problem of like omi- nous aspect and disturbing import. No longer ago than the year of our Lord IS74 the happy youth that went up to Harvard College to seek admission there was Q V confronted with no sort of test primarily designed to determine his qualifications in English. XVhat was true at Harvard was prac- ll, ,I ww rf if Q M x , ,f C fi? fi V symptoms of confusion and alarm, if not of utter demoralization. The memory and the experience of many of us reach back to . 5,4 . 59 1i !'iI'lfl' Gun- ., GJ ll! ' Q, it t .e .Ag , ,, I tically true everywhere else. XVhen the writer matriculated at the Tfniversity of Michigan in 1370, candidates for admission were not required to put pen to paper. The swift and merciful eraser promptly obliterated whatever evidences of illiteracy, fac-similes of their perform- ances in mathematical exercises and translations into a foreign tongue might have revealed. Naught knew they of dangling participles, of split in- initives, of the dangers that lurk in ambiguous pronouns, in misplaced phrases, and of the genealogical revelations in their misuses of shall and will, Though they may have been grammatically and rhetorically naked, their unschooled ignorance wrapped them in a mantle of innocence. No telltale suffusion of the cheeks betrayed their consciousness of shame. They had not eaten of the tree of knowledge nor did they slink away abashed when the great lords of learning strode into their garden. But in the fatal hour the tempter came. Ye have been kept, he whispered, from good and evil English lest peradventure ye write like Matthew Arnold and speak like Burke and Webster, and become as one of these. The forbidden fruit was tasted and forthwith our ingenuous youth, and their perhaps no less ingenuous instructors, became aware of their linguistic nakedness. A new want created a new industry, and manufacturers of grammatical and rhetorical aprons did a thriving business. The spirit of the stately and ponderous Blair walked once more in the schoolroorn. Dear old Quackenbos, rehabilitated and rejuvenated, all gleaming in purple and gold, aspired once more to leadership and summoned to his standard all who within the limits of a single year would master the art of written expression Educational doctors in numbers came forward with their newly-discovered rhubarb, senna, and other purgative drugs, warranted to scour this bad English hence. Schoolrooms from Maine to California resounded with a sonorous rhetorical gibberish as much out of place there as Aristotle's pol- itics in a kindergarten. Ambitious writers set forth in school catalogues and in published papers courses in rhetoric, miscalled courses in composi- tion, outlines of work that, while they might not be pretentious if set for advanced students in college courses, were, when set for secondary schools, mere hyperboles, exaggerations for effect. The unfortunate victims of one of these ambitious syllabi might study The Humorous as a Quality of Style, but their own humor would probably be of the unconscious kind. They might talk fluently of the form, structure, and growth of the para- graph, while the scattered fragments of their own paragraphs would vainly signal one another from widely separated stations. They might become learned in the principles of the persuasive art, but could never convince any one of their power to write decent English. The story of the frantic, futile efforts that have been made to accomplish, by wholly inadequate means, results in English training wholly impossible by any means, would make a chapter in the history of pedagogy seldom surpassed either in humor or pathos. Undoubtedly these misguided efforts indicate a raising tide of enthusiasm for English study. To this same enthusiasm is to be traced the somewhat extravagant demands that have been and are still made for time to be devoted to specifically English work. To the study of English in tl1e high school, says the English Conference reporting to the Committee of Ten, should be given five hours a week throughout the four years course. Certainly no one will question that as much time should be assigned to specifically English study as shall sutiice to meet the demands of a conservative and settled judgment. But no cry of Alas for the illiteracy of American Youth! or English the Core of a Secondary Course! must be allowed to sweep us from the safe anchorage of common sense. The maxim that the successful conduct of any enterprise demands a knowledge of the end from the beginning has nowhere a more undoubted application than in English training, and when the end is plainly discerned, the adaptation of means to end should be comparatively an easy task. Easy, that is, in theoretical conception. The practical working out of the theory assuredly is not, either for teachers or students, easy in the sense of being unaccompanied by painstaking and persistent effort, and even drudgery. The art of clear expression in writing, says a famous pro- fessor in a famous university, is a perfectly simple one. Any boy can attain it by the time he is fifteen, and if he does not, it is his father's fault. A sapient utterance! and fraught with important consequences. All we have to do is to exterminate the culpable fathers and the English problem is solved. Nothing is gained by underestimating the task set the secondary schools when they are asked to transform into something clean and decent the mongrel English that slips spontaneously and habitually from the tongues and pens of the unsifted masses of young people that somehow find their way into them. To expect the English alone and unaided, to stem this tide of nmddy speech is about as reasonable as to expect him to sweep the myriad snowflakes hack into the sky with a whisk broom. Out of the nebulous mass of ideas concerning the teaching of English in the schools this clear and luminous truth has been evolved: The teacher that is not for good English is against it. No more important educational task has ever been attempted, not to say accomplished, than that of training a whole people to good reading and writing. As has often been remarked, the school is but one of the many influences that advance or retard the desired end. The school, however, will not be doing its utmost, will not even be meeting just and reasonable expectations, until every teacher lends the weight of his example, of his moral influence, and of his actual requirements in the classroom to the side of correct, clear, and adequate expression of ideas, Teachers sometimes attempt to repudiate any share in this common responsibility. Specialization, says Professor Herrick has rendered the teacher delightfully free from the necessity of knowing any one thing outside of his own Field, even English. It is my business, we some- times hear remarked, to teach chemistry, physics, mathematics, history. I have no time to do the English teacher's work in addition to my own. Not much time is required to show one's attitude towards slovenly expression. Not much time is required to insist on the rewriting of a paper char- acterized by gross carelessness and apparent ignorance. When it is once understood that nothing short of the best English and the best mechanical execution of which the student is capable will be accepted, that best will be habitually given and corrections will be heeded. The spirit thus secured Will insure that the vast amount of talking and writing required in recitations and tests be done under a helpful impulse to speak and to write well. The compartment idea, the idea that the work done in one subject has no necessary relation to any other will gradually break down. English will become if not the core, at least the tutelary spirit of the secondary course. Every recitation, some of course to a greater degree than others, but every recitation is in some degree, a training in English, good or bad, does something to loosen or tighten the bonds of vicious speech habits. It is only because we have failed to utilize the total available power of the school that a demand is made for one fourth of the entire school time to be devoted to specifically English study. Every Written paper in Whatever subject should be an exercise in corret mechanical execution. Every oral and written recitation in geometry should contribute to the formation of a sinewy and well compacted style. Every paper in history should be an exercise in composition as well as a test of historical knowledge. If inevitable obligation rests upon the teacher of subjects like those mentioned, what must be said of the obligation of teachers of Latin and Greek? The defense of the classics as instruments for the education of youth has shifted ground somewhat in modern times. One of the strongest bulwarks of that defense is perhaps the claim that the study of the classics is the best preparation for the mother tongue. Even this bulwark has been rudely assailed. The opinion has been not infrequently expressed by men whose names have weight that the road to a good English style does not lie through years of plodding in Latin and Greek. All experience showsf' says Professor Alexander Bain, that only very inferior English composition is the result of translating from Latin allCl Greek into English. Professor Bain probably meant that he did not End the graces of English style in Bohn's Classical Library. He certainly was not thinking of jowett's Plain or Frere's --Iafzsiophazzes or Martins Ozfes 0fH01'zZce. But the high school student will not produce translations like Iowett's or Frere's or Martins He does not know the language out of which he is translating so intimately that he can even suspect the existence of that delicate and untranslatable aroma about which we hear so much. He knows nothing of effects so subtle that it is all but impossible to analyze them, nor can he reproduce in English whatever vague im- pressions he may receive of these liner and more elusive artistic effects. Could he do these things he must needs be a literary artist in both tongues. Manifestly any discussion of translation as an aid in secondary English study must be on a distinctly lower plane, if it is to have any basis of actuality. For practical purposes it matters little to the teacher in the secondary school how Curtis and Lowell acquired their marvelous mastery of words. He has to do with young people whose antecedeuts and the prognosis of whose mental development are widely different from theirs. The aesthetic qualities of style do not very much concern him. He has to deal with a crowd of boys and girls, every page of whose written manuscript bears some traces of instruction indeed, but of instruction misapplied, distorted, whose themes bristle with scores of artificial eccentricities such as no mere untutored imagination could conceive unless spurred into abnormal activity by some fancy-stimulating drug. By some method or without any he must inhibit the practice of thrusting a comma between a verb and its subject, he must reform the spelling debauchee QSee the Harvard lists, or better still consult your own J, he inust condescend to every form of granimatical blunder, he must wrestle with an ignorance so ingenious, so mani- fold, so hydra-headed, that the cultured denizens of Arcady may be pardoned if they cry out, illiterate. A mere statement of the points to which the English teacher must direct his reforming ,processes is sufficient to demonstrate the proposition that the teachers of Latin and Greek are his natural and most eiiicient allies at least in his preliminary task of training out of the young student by practice under criticism and guidance those deforming and ludicrous blunders that characterize the Harvard facsimiles. YVho that is well read in secondary compositions does not know the typical errors that abound on nearly every page of them? There is the great family of ambiguities of every kind and degreeg ambiguities arising from modifiers that exhibit an obstinate preference for just those positions in the sentence to which the laws of clearness give them no title and, in a spirit of total depravity, divorce those parts of the sentence which the genius of the English tongue has united in indissoluble bonds. There are ambiguities from misplaced pronouns whose apparent antecedent touches the reader's sense of humor by suggestion of iucongruous ideasg from pronouns whose only antecedent is the imperfectly differentiated nucleus of an idea Hoating in the thin protoplasm of the writer's thought. There are the weak and useless circumlocutions that tend to supplant the effective word which comes only with thought, the weak, vague, and colorless words that usurp the place of the definite, specific, and suggestive ones. Use words only in their proper sense is an injunction found in every composition book, an injunction as ineffectual as prohibitions of the wrong usually are, if unaccompanied by practice of the right. Every one knows how the young writer tends to overwork the conjunctions and, but, and while, apparently the only ones he knows, and how his most forcible thoughts waste their vigor by an utter disregard of forceful order in sentence and paragraph. The composition books abound in striking and possibly valuable illustrations of all these valuable' illustrations of all these various blunders. Some of them are classics of their kind. XVe are all well acquainted with the man who one night saw twenty-seven meteors sitting on his piazza, and with his brother, who saw the place where NVarren fell for the first time, yesterday, and with the farmer's orchard, respected by the boy who owns a large dog. W'e have perhaps obeyed the inevitable command to bring in illustrations of all these errors and correct them. These familiar illustrations of how not to do it may have their value, but there is certainly small need to require the young writer deliberately to construct them. His oral speech and his written themes are embarrassingly rich in them, and the teaching of composition, as far as composition can be taught, consists largely in their gradual effacement by practice in the expression of ideas under competent guidance. Translation is expres- sion of ideas under competent guidance. Translation is expression of ideas. The ideas are furnished by the author to be translated. The act of translation is a double one: first, to get at the meaning of the originalg second, to express that meaning in correct, clear and adequate English. It is only when the first of these two acts has been successfully performed that the student is ready for the second. Connected and formal translation is not a process necessary to the student in his effort to master the thought of the original. From the teachers standpoint, it is not an instrument that he must use for the purpose of determining how perfectly the student has mastered the passage under consideration. Everyone is probably familiar with the specimens of translation English which the Harvard Committee on Composition and Rhetoric was cruel enough to print. Let me refresh you with a delicious bit of humor, extracted from an examination paper in advanced Latin, written by a candidate for admission to Harvard in IS94. Behold, however, the bull smoking under the hard ploughshare fell and threw out from his mouth blood mixed with froth and stifled his last groans. The sodden yeoman departs unyoking the bullock sorrowing at his brother's death, and leaves his implements fixed in the midst of his work. Nor the shades of the lowering groves. nor the soft fields can move his mind nor the fbird of some kindl which flying over the rocks seeks the field by the streanilet fbut his sides are shaken with sobsj and vstupor presses upon his Bxed eyes, and his neck by the bending weight looks toward tl1e earth. It has been said that the above passage shows eciual ignorance of Latin and English. But as far as getting at the thought is concerned, the writer seems to have fairly solved the puzzle presented by the Latin. He saw the bullocks straining under their heavy toil, he felt their suffering evidenced by their heaving sides and nostrils fiecked with bloody foam, he seems to have detected the intended contrast between the apparent sympathy of the other bullock for his dying fellow and the callous indifference of the ploughnian who does not even relieve the suffering brute from the now useless burden of the yoke. Nor is there anything in the translation, bad as it is, to exclude the possibility that the writer felt the added pathos from the setting of cool grove, and stream, and pleasant fields. He lacked two things: a sense of humor and a sense for English. No one with any sense of humor could possibly speak of a bull smoking under a hard ploughshare, or of his neck looking toward the earth, and no one with any sense for English could put words together in such a senseless way. But just such performances as this are the natural and legitimate product of four years of assiduous training in turning good Latin into mongrel English. Nothing can be more certain than that translation does not make any important contribution to the power of clear and correct and forcible expression in English composition. Let it be understood that a student may have perfectly mastered a passage of Latin or Greek and yet be unable to turn it into idiomatic English, and the futility of resorting to translation for any other purpose than training in English expression becomes clear enough. No mere pruning away of a few of the most hideous deformities of oral translation will sufiice. It is to be assumed that no teacher allows hic and Mille to be translated Vthis one and that one, or every ablative absolute to be rendered having been something or other. These and a score of other superficial errors, into which word for word translation naturally tempts the learner, may be prevented or cured by persistent criticisms of oral translation. But the roots of the student's difficulties lie deeper. They are not touched by this superficial pruning. It is easy enough to call for idiomatic English. But the student does not know the difference between idiomatic English and idiomatic Latin or Greek. It is precisely this difference that he must be taught and trained to see. To this end frequent written translation is absolutely indispensable. At first at any rate and for some time, the written translation should be of review passages only and should be preceded by preparatory discussion. This discussion should bear upon the liberties that idiomatic English requires the translator to take with the order and construction of the original. No liberties must be taken with the thought. That is sacred and must all appear in the translation. The relation of the parts of the thought must be retained, but the discussion should seek to remove a superstitious reverence for the grammatical integrity of a long, complex sentence, crowded with details which no ingenuity can cram into an idiomatic English sentence. There is no better training in English than real translation. There is no school exercise more demoralizing to good English than the humbug that masquerades under the name of translation. To secure the results that the exercise is calculated to yield, the writer believes there should be daily practice in written trnslationg that the portion assigned should be short enough to permit the student to do his best Workg should be a passage already orally discussed and mastered in thought and construction. The written translation should then be criticised as a piece of English. It should be criticised as to form and mechanical execution: as to spelling, punctuation, capitalizationg as to exact reproduction of the thought of the originalg as to force, clearness, choice of words. Every peculiarity that would brand the student's work as translation English should be removed. If the teacher's time does not allow him to examine an exercise from each member of his class daily, let him do it weekly, or as often as he can, but let him do it thoroughly and with clear knowledge of the end in view. Let him have some papers read aloud in class and criticized by the class and himself. By such method persistently and skillfully followed tl1e student's language conscience can be awakened, and his ambition can be aroused. Xl'hen the interested and intelligent cooperation of the student himself has been enlisted, the teacher's work is half accomplished. It is said that the severest criticism passed by French students upon a teacher of Latin and Greek is, he does not know his French. The supplication of our secondary schools to the colleges and universities should be: Send us teachers of the classics who know their English, too.

The Value of the Study of Literature. , ' - as ' ITHIN the last few years, great changes have been made in the curriculum of our common schools. One of the most im- portant of these changes is the introduction of the study of literature into the schools. It is true that the readers formerly ft' E E i J J f Q H i used, contained selections from the works of our great authorsg yet even these were studied not so much from the stand- I' , Q ti point of literature as from that of reading. Thus the pupil entered the high school without any knowledge of literature, W f . . and at least one year passed before he was able to do real work in this study. Now, since the change, the pupil gets N X,-12-Q.. f QE, TAF e U E O Y X this preparation before coming to high school, and a valuable thing this is. And why is it? YVhy is the study of litera- ture so important? Because the benefits derived from it are so numerous and of such high value. Q In the first place, the study of literature cultivates in the pupil a taste for good reading, and forms in him the habit of reading for a higher purpose than mere amusement and pleasure. From tl1e works of the great writers, the student learns to speak and write good English, Good literature, furthermore, develops the lllllld of the reader in every way. As a great English writer has expressed it, literature benefits us by appealing to the three grand intellectual elements, imagination, memory and reflection. Let us look at some particular classes of books and consider their special benefits, Poetry is valuable because of the love of nature with which it inspires the studentg for as the love of nature makes a good poet, so tl1e study of poetry induces the pupil to observe nature more closely. and to learn to admire and love her. XVho could read Longfellow, XVhittier and Burns without being touched with a deep love of nature? Historical romances are of great benefit because of the historical knowledge which one can get from them. The fact that historical circumstances and events are interwoven with personal affairs, makes the picture and account of the times attractive, and we get valuable knowledge in a pleasant way. We not only get it in a pleasant way, but get it better, because the scenes and the characters are rendered so vivid, and we will therefore rernember it longer. By studying such works as Ivanhoe, Woodstock, A Tale of Two Cities, and Old Mortality, we unconsciously get knowledge which we could and would never get from any text books on history. Public speeches and orations are beneficial, because from them we may learn about the political questions of the timeg they a1'e especially helpful to young men, because they teach them the art of debating and making public speeches. Essays, for instance, those of Macaulay and Carlyle, give us valu- able information in regard to the subject of the essay, and in regard to its author.
