DELPHIAN ' o I 13 and was eagerly welcomed by the Admiral. In spite of the effects of a tropical sun I recognized the noted Admiral as Harry Culbertson, and Max Allen in the Governor-General of the Philippines. Leaving the inseparables to talk over old times we returned to New York and entered the dressmaking establish- ment of Stone Wood where we found our two Bessies deep in the mysteries of the latest Parisian costumes. From thence to the theater, which was packed to its utmost capacity, and the prima donna who held the vast multitude spellbound by her wonderful voice was Maud Church. The shifting scenes next brought us to the Art Exhibit, where the name of the famous American painter, Louie Wildt, was on every lip. And presently I saw the great artist himself, evidently much bored and tired of being lionized. Here my shadowy companion left me and I found myself sitting again by my library fire, my own future still shrouded in uncertainty. T H e Laboratory By Cynthia A. Green The Laboratory of the Charlotte High School is located on the first floor and occupies the southwest corner of the building. It has the advantage, therefore, of a southern and western exposure, assuring excellent lighting facilities, a con- sideration of no little importance. The opening of the room for laboratory purposes was unassuming, being attended by no formal ceremonies such, perhaps, as the provision for systematic • scientific training in our school deserved. Neither was there any elaborate memo- rial of the incident prepared, but one may see on a window

14 DELPHIAN ' 01 of the room probably the only record extant connected with its initial year. This consists of an artistic expression, for it is nothing less than an etching bearing the names of the first class in chemistry with the signature of their teacher and the date, 1890. But, although the establishment of the room attracted so little notice, nevertheless the event marked a distinct period in the history of the school and emphasized the wise foresight of the people of our city which is in keeping with the present trend of educational interests. Durmg the summer of 1889, the Laboratory was fitted with a demonstration table, working tables, gas, wash basins, glass cases, chemicals, and chemical apparatus which, in a modest way, furnished an equipment for the accommodation of ten pupils with a course in Chemistry covering twenty weeks. At the same time, it seemed desirable to bring down the few pieces of physical apparatus from their old home in a little room at the southeast corner of the building on the second floor, and to place them, with many additional new ones, in the cases prepared for their reception. But the use- fulness of the newly-equipped room did not stop with its service to Physics and Chemistry. Botany made its demands and so the room was open for general recitation work. Little by little, as the work in the Scientific department has grown, greater requirements have been put upon the Laboratory. Forty weeks are now given to Chemistry and every necessary material is at hand to make the work thor- ough and practical. Next year the subject of Botany will cover forty weeks instead of twenty as now. The work in Physics has always taken a year and the apparatus for this subject is quite complete. The latter fact is not due to numerous large and expensive single pieces, though we have several of them, and they, with the Crowell cabinet purchased three years ago, give the school a superior equipment. Phys- ical principles are demonstrated, and special attention is given
