ER ALL'S FAIR IN PHYSICS. By Doris Katzin. OR next recitation we will have a comprehensive test which shall cover all the work this month. Turn now to the work for to-morrow.” Thus calmly did Mr. Elson, physics teacher, pronounce our doom. A cold sweat broke out upon my forehead. What! Was | to flunk my physics on the last day of the month, just because of this? What was worrying Mr. Elson lately, anyway? | could remember the time when he had been a good, gentle teacher, with whom a pupil could cut periods with impunity, coming in after class with a long face and a light heart, to tell him that he had been detained in the office!” As Mr. Elson always used to be satisfied with these delightfully indefinite ques- tions, and never asked embarrassing questions, we all loved him, even though we held him a little in contempt, and called him Sonny. Butnow! lthought with disgust of the coming test. Say, exclaimed Jennie, out in the corridor, what's both- ering Sonny? One day to prepare for a test! And, by the way, his hairs combed. | can see it's to be quite a little test, by the looks of things. Do you really think we are going to have a test to-mor- row?” І asked, with a superior smile. Why, answered Jennie, slowly turning to me, for one mad moment | really did think so. Of course, if you say we aren't, we won't; but just at first | truly thought that Mr. Elson would keep his word, and give us the test. Well you needn't be so sarcastic, | answered calmly, because we're not going to have any. Oh, arent we? How very peculiar! Funny how absent- minded Mr. Elson is getting, isn't it? Whatever made him make such a droll mistake, do you suppose? 7
