If we do this our work will be of a character which will surprise even our teachers. That we should do our best we owe to our school, and let each pupil do his or her best. Re- “Do well,” “Do bet- ast semester. But iwember our motto, ter,” “Do Best.” Dr. Small has said time and again in Assembly Hall that ones education is not complete unless one knows how to dance correctly. If you ask why there is but one answer. They have not had the chance to learn. We have a large drill hall here where the pupils could easily learn how to dance. No one knows any better than the pupils themselves why we have not been allowed to dance more often than me have. It seems to us that those few pupils who have been the cause of this lack of access to the drill hall might be willing to cut out the “rag- ging” for the sake of the other members of the school if not for their own sake. As long as this style of dancing con- tinues, Dr. Small will never allow us to dance, willingly. Therefore we, in be- half of the whole school. request that when we are given the drill hall, we show our appreciation by not “ragging.” Before another issue of THe East. PRNER appears, the base ball season will be on in earnest. In order that our team shall be successful, it is necessary that every one in the school give the team their hearty support. Those of the pupils who can not play, can show their school spirit by going to each game and cheering the team on to victory. We advise those of the students who are just entering school and any others who have not done so to join the athletic association at once and get their tickets for the baseball sea- son. We are going to have a winning team and every pupil in the school wants to hdp make it a success. So heres three rousing cheers for the base ball team. Through the efforts of some enterpris- ing boys in the school a track team has been started, which promises great suc- cess. About twenty-five boys appeared at the first call for candidates, and all these are now registered with the A. A. U. It has been decided that we will enter some men in the George Washing- ton Meet. Track work is work which will do more towards making a boy per- fect. physically, than any other branch of athletics. And now that we have a physical trainer for boys at the school who will in all probability superintend the track work, more of the boys should avail themselves of the opportunity to practice. You never know how fast you can run until you “try out.” Then let more of the boys join the squad and help make this branch of sport a success, THE EASTERNER. 9 ALEXANDER’S RAGTIME BAND By Watson Davis “I guess that means that your beauti- ful High School Band project has gone tc pieces,” said Jimmy Black as he came out of room 13 with Alexander Welling- ton. They were leaving the room in which had just been held the first meeting (and was it the last as Jimmy thought?) of the High School Band. “I don't see,” continued Jimmy, “how a grand and magnificent band can be formed with exactly three members. You see, besides that little freshman who can play the bass drum, you and I are the only members. And all you can do is to give us a sterling imitation of Sousa, while I can be very useful in handing ‘round the music.” “Oh, I don’t know about that,” was Alexander's only comment. “You don't know about what?” ques- tioned Jimmy with a little surprise, “What do you mean?” “T think that there will be a High School Band before the Annual Review or Cadets comes off, replied Alexander, quietly. “Forget it!” said Jimmy expressing his doubt in a rather strenuous manner. “How are you going to do it? Are you going to be the whole band?” “You just wait and see,’ Aelxander said as he shut his locker door and hur- ried down the hall. “T'll wait, but I don’t know about the seeing,” replied Jimmy. Surely, as Jimmy had said the High School Band project seemed likely never to materialize. Alexander, however, was determined that in the Annual Review cf High School Cadets, a band of high school students should march at the head of the regiment. But the question was not whether there should be a band; it was, could there be one? How could a band be organized cut of boys who could not play? Still, Alexander had to meet and overcome all t.ese difficulties. Alexander, therefore, sat down and did something that, although common with him, is not very often indulged in by other boys—he thought. The next day he had one grand and glorious plan all thought out. However, as Alexander had learned in the school of experience, it is easier to make the plans tian to carry them out. When he arrived at school, his first move was to see the physics teacher and lie explained his plan to him in detail. Dr. Rothfell seemed to think the plan very good, but was not too enthusiastic about it. He cautioned Alexander to be sure not to undertake anything that he could not carry out, but he assured him that the physics labor atory was at his disposal. Alexander was so pleased over the first step in the carrying out of his plan that lie hunted up Jimmy and explained his scheme. “You'll have to show me,” replied Jimmy doubtfully, “but I'll help you do anything.” Just then the bell rang and both of the boys had to make a wild dash to their section rooms in order not to be tardy. THE EASTERNER 10 During the next few days, Alexander sted several other boys to help in carrying out the plan and each was pledged to absolute secrecy. Alex- ander was busy all of the time and every day after school he was either occupied ia the laboratory or in writing long and important letters to large manufacturing companies. Meanwhile, the public at large was dis- cussing the peculiar circumstances which seemed to surround the Annual Review cf High School Cadets. The President ci the United States had promised to be the reviewing officer, but still the Marine [iand had not been engaged for the oc- casion. Neither had any other band, so far as the public knew. The school offi- cials refused to give out any interview whatsoever upon the subject except that there was to bea band. The public won- dered and no one knew what would hap- except perhaps Alexander ? and Jimmy enli pan The day of the review was clear and the sun shone brightly. At three o'clock, the appointed time, the regiment was lin- ed across the broad expanse of green and the President and his staff came forward and took their places. Yet, one thing was lacking to make this a perfect picture. No band with its sun-reflecting instruments was to be seen. The crowd wondered. Where was the band? The regiment was called to attention and the review began. When the time came for the band to pass in review be- fore the regiment, the colonel command- ed “Parade Rest.” Hardly had his words died away, than from one end of the field, the music of a imlitary band floated over the surpris- ed multitude, and a little group of boys in cadet uniform and carrying small boxes with horns attached, marched jn review. Everyone was astonished. “It looks as if they were carrying phonographs,” shouted someone, “Alexander's Ragtime Band!” yelled another and this cry was re-echoed over the field. After the review, I worked my Way through the large crowd that surrounded the band, and as I happen to be a repor- ter for that rising school paper, the YEASTERNER, I was able to obtain this interview from Alexander : “T wish to say, not only for myself but for my band, that it is pleasing to see the success this band has been. “T have been asked by several persons to state how the music is produced and what is in the little boxes carried by the band. Those little boxes contain a ma- chine which is the ordinary phonograph adapted to the needs of the band. The music is produced from an ordinary phonograph record, the volume of which is increased by an intensifier which I jini vented. A regulator was another thing that had to be invented. Many other minor improvements had to be made. “T wish to thank the members of the band, especially James Black, for their aid, and I also wish to acknowledge the valuable help of Dr. Rothfell, the Valiant Talking Machine Company, and - the makers of the American Records.” THe—How slippery the floor is. hard to keep on your feet. She—Well, really, I shouldn't mind if you did keep off of them some of the time. 5 —The Script. It’s THE EASTERNER. im SCHOOL NEWS On Monday, January 6, Miss Clara Ascherfeld, a pianist from the Peabody Institute of Baltimore, gave the school ene of the most delightful recitals ever held at Eastern. Selections from Bach, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Brahms, Raff, and other celebrated composers were played with such beauty and so much feeling that the delightful program was ended enly tco soon for the hearers. Bearing in mind the great enjoyment derived from her performance, the school will be ready to extend a hearty welcome to Miss Ascherfeld whenever she may visit Eastern again. The faculty and the pupils of Eastern were very sorry to learn that, because of her ill health, Miss Wilkins was obliged to give up her classes for the re- mainder of the school year. While her loss is felt very much, we are all com- forted by the knowledge that it is not permanent and that we are fortunate enough to have so excellent a teacher as Miss Macmillan to fill her place. We all hope that the change of scene and the air of Rome, where she is staying, will soon restore Miss Wilkins to her former state of health, and that she will return in September greatly rested and able to resume her ditties among us once more. Since the Christmas holidays several improvements have been effected around the school, The conservatory at the south end of the corridor on the ground floor has been greatly enlarged and will be used as a room for the holding of classes and as a general overflow room for the laboratory, We also have a new floor in the drill hall which will be greatly appreciated by those who dance at noon hour when they are allowed to, and by Miss Grosve- nor, who has been longing for one since the beginning of the year. Eastern High School has great cause for rejoicing this year for her Athl etic Association was so fortunate as to win the second of the grand prizes, $500 in gold, offered by the Star in its “$5,000 contest.” This shows the excellent work that the school, especially some of the boys, accomplished, as we did not enter the contest until November 14 and were in it, consequently, about five weeks, only. The last month of the contest, the Star offered prizes for the greatest num- her of votes received during the week. Of these, Eastern received the first prize cf $1o, three times, and the second prize of $9, once, which made a total of $539 received in prizes. From this awards of $137.50 were given to the students, Icaving a balance of $401.50 in the treas- ury of the Athletic Association. Walter Graves, and Warden Dyer, who worked together, received the first prize of $50 offered by Dr. Small. Peter Steltz, the second of $25, and Charles Loteler and R. Brooks, the third of $15. Of the special prizes offered to stimu- lete the interest of students, the follow- ing boys, who brought in 1,000 votes or nore, received $5; Walter Graves and Warden Dyer, Peter Steltz, Charles THE EASTERNER i2 Loteler and Richmond Brooks, Herbert [iradburn and Donald Preston, Main Sandoe, and George Bassett. The award of $2.50, given to those who brought in 500 votes or more, was won by Herbert Graves, Mitchell von Preissig, Donald Stewart, while that of $1.00 for those bringing in 200 votes or more was received by Albert Weber, Borden Put- nam, J. J. Brown, Clarence Steves and Miss Elise Clements. The following people received membership in the Ath- letic Association for one year: Norman Stockett, Egbert Armstrong, Herbert Pradburn, Donald Preston, George Bas- sett, Main Sandoe, Herbert Graves, Mit- chell von Preissig, Donald Stewart and Lorden Putnam. and At the supper given to the football team in the drill hall on December 14, the school had the unexpected pleasure ct the presence of Dr. Davidson and Mr. Henry P. Blair. The drill hall was charmingly decorated by the girls with Christmas greens, who also made the beautiful favors which were distributed. Misses Weisz, Tull, Cunningham. Graves, Buckingham, Naylor and Mrs. Huff deserve great credit for their work. Dr. Davidson, who presided in place of Dr. Small, who was too ill to attend, spoke to the boys immediately after the supper and then left as he had another engagement to fill. The team and the guests at the supper then went to the Assembly Hall where the “E’s” and numerals were awarded to the boys. Speeches were then made by Mr. Blair, Mr. Wallis, who had charge of the ceremonies of the evening, Mr. Weaver, captain of last year’s football team, Coach McCaffrey, Captain Cohill ard Manager Baker. All the members of the school were invited to attend the exercises in the Assembly Hall and everyone who availed himself of the privilege enjoyed them very much. The drill hall was then thrown open and all who wished danced until a late hour, COMP’NY “F”, 1.

THE EASTERNER fs) “But suppose someone recognize c asked the pretty little dark haired girl, who sat in the middle of a group of Inughing and chattering friends. Bessie was just home from a trip abroad, and during her absence her friends had formed a club for the bene- fii of the children’s hospital. Of course she wanted to join, but she would have to be hazed first, and this was what had brought that dismayed ejaculation from her lips. “We will ix you up so no one will know you,” said Dorothy, who seemed t be the spokesman of the party, “Bob- bie will take you down town in his auto, and come back for you at six o'clock.” Then, as she saw Bessie hesitate, she said, “I know it will come out all right. We all have done it, and have had a great degree of success so far. Besides who would think of a millionaire’s daughter begging.” “How long will I have to beg?” asked Bessie, the dismayed look creeping over her face. “Only two days,” answered Dorothy. “You may take your choice between working in succession, or of skipping a day in between.” : s m6,” Bessie at once chose the latter, because she said she would need a rest in between to rest. The next morning at the ap- pointed time, Bessie crept down a back stairway all ready for her day's work. She made a very pathetic picture stand- ing there, wearing a ragged black dress, which must have been very preity in it's early history. Her hair hung down her back in two thick braids, she had smear- ee THE BEGGAR’S CLUB ed dirt on her hands and face, to make them look grimy, and altogether she looked like a poor little child, who had no one to take care of her, When she got down town and saw her car whiz out of sight she felt like runn- ing home as fact as she could. But, no she couldn't do that and have all fhe girls look at her as a failure. So gather- ing up all her courage she walked timiq- ly up to a man who was coming hurried- ly towards her. “Won't you,”—she began, but the man gave her a blank stare and walked on, She tried again, but met with no better success. A little discouraged she waited for a few minutes. Finally she saw a kind looking old man coming down the street. “Won't you give me some money? My mother and father are dead, and I havn't had anything to eat for twelve hours.” (She got up too late to eat her breakfast). “Poor child, poor child,” said the kind old gentleman with tears in his eyes, “[ have a granddaughter your age at home,” and dropping a silver dollar in her hand turned away before Bessie could thank him. After that she had bet- ter luck. The church bells were just ckiming six, and Bessie had started up the street towards the corner appointed for her to meet Bobbie, when an auto- mobile came up. A handsome young man jumped out and paused as Bessie came tmidly towards him holding out her hand. She was just about to begin her little plea when he said: “How does it happen that a child like you is obliged to beg on. the streets? THE EASTERNER, 15 What is your name and address? I may be able to help you.” “Tf I don’t bring ten dollars home to- night they will beat me,” said Bessie try- ing to change the subject. “But your name,” he asked again im- patiently. “My n-na-name is,—Mary Smith,” stuttered Bessie. This last came out with a jerk, for she hadn’t thought to provide herself with a name in case any one should ask for it. “Well what is your address,” ques- tioned the young man suspiciously. “T must know that if you want me to help you.” “I don’t want you to help me,” cried the now terrified Bessie. With that she turned and fled down the street, and was out of sight before the astonished young man could move. “Well! Wouldn’t that beat all,” he ejaculated. Then turning to his chaffeur said, “Home James,” forgetting all about the business he had come down town in such a rush to attend to. Fifteen minutes later he entered his sitting room, flung himself into his fa- vorite chair, and began reading the novel he had so reluctantly put down an hour before, but some how it didn’t seem to interest him any more. The picture of a pathetic little dark haired girl, holding out her hand to him kept coming up be- fore him. Tinally he threw down his book, and began pacing the floor. “Dash it all,” he muttered to himself, “What made her run away?” He stop- ped in front of a long glass, scowled at himself and growled, ‘You old brute, you scared the poor little girl with all your questioning. You never do know when to keep that trap of yours closed.” “Maybe she will be there to-morrow,” he added hopefully, “I suppose I am foolish but—but she looked so small and help- less that I hate to think of her being Whipped to-night.” Bessie was greeted on her arrival home by a group of eager friends, all damoring to know how she had gotten along. She told them all of her day’s adventures, except the last one. The next day a very disappointed young man was seen, walking up and down a certain street down town. He seemed to be looking for some one: After waiting all the morning he mutter- ed that he might have known she wouldn’t show up; and called himself a fool. Bessie’s second day was not such a success as the first. She had been out only two hours when she noticed that a very grouchy looking policeman had been watching her for some time. She grew very uneasy, she knew she could be arrested for begging under false pre- tences, and just to think of the story the newspapers would write made her shud- der. Finally she decided that the few dollars she might earn would not be worth the risk, so she telephoned Bobbie to come and get her. The neXt evening Dorothy gave a dance for her cousin, who had just come home from the west. “T hope you will like him,” she said to Ressie between one of the dances.” “He used to be so jolly, but I met him yester- day and he looked as if he had lost his lest friend. Here he is now.” “Dick I should like to have you meet my dearest friend, Miss Hamilton,’— turning to Bessie—,“My cousin, Mr. Strachen.” i THE EASTERNER 16 Later in the evening while Dick and Bessie were dancing together, Dick said, “Jt seems to me’I have seen you some- where before.” “Maybe in Europe,” said Bessie trying ty throw him off the track, for she had recognized him as the nice young man who had offered to help her a few days before. Then all of a sudden it came over him where he had seen her. “I should like tc tell you.a little story, if you will be kind enough to listen. The other day I came across a little girl begging. She seemed to be very shy for when | of- fered to help her she ran away. I have learned to like her very much. Do you think,” he said looking her in the face, “that this little girl could ever learn to love me?” “T don't know,” said Bessie, whose face had turned very red during his story, “but I guess she could if she tried.” ; This was only the beginning of what proved to be more than a mere friend- ship. I. Merritt, 3-D. A fool there was and he flunked in Math Even as you and I. Some called him the man who did not care, Fut we know better for we've been there, (He found Math harder to grasp than air), Even as you and I. Oh, the nights he’d spend and the ways he’d try And the work of his head and hand! He couldn’t do Math, he didn’t know why (And now we know he could never know why) And never could understand.

We make no comment on them; they speak for themselves. Those receiving honors, are: First Honors. Miss Ema Hen, 4-A, 100 per cent E, Miss Race, THomas, 2-B, 99.75 per cent E. Miss Cyntuta Dyk, 2-A, 75 per cent F, 25 per cent G. ; And they are all girls, too. Ye God's! What has happened to man? Second Honors. Mr. H. L. Batpwin, 4-A, 62 per cent L, 38 per cent G.

The only unfortunate fea- ture of the company dances is that so few cadets are present. The proceeds are used to purchase medals for the most efficient cadets at the end of the year, so every member of the company ought tc help make each dance a success. A special exhibition drill was given by the Fifteenth U. S. Cavalry at Fort Myer on January 24 for the cadets. The entire regiment of cadets was present and they all thoroughly enjoyed the dis- play of horsemanship. The first regimental drill of the cadets will soon be held on the White Lot to prepare the regiment to take part in the Taauguration parade. The regiment will march in the second division of the pa- rade, commanded by Gen. A. L. Mills. It depends upon the individual members of the company whether Company F will be the crack comjany of the regiment in that parade and at the end of the year. The company does quite well at pres- ent in the big movements. The general execution of each movement is satisfac- tory, and now the men should devote tLeir attention to set up, snap, and detail. No West Point graduate will overlook an appearance of general physical weak- ness in the companies which comes be- fore him. A poor set up is very notice- able in a uniform, and the only way to get credit for our appearance on the drill field is to keep a high chest and head looking squarely to the front all the time. 18 Smartness in the execution of each movement is as important as set up. This is another big point no army officer will overlook. In order to win, we must have it. The drill regulations prescribe snap and it is as much a part of the drill as anything else. Every detail must be perfect for Com- pany F to acquit itself with usual credit cn Competitive Drill day. The smallest unsteadiness shows very plainly. The angles of the rifles on the men’s should- ers is important and equally so is the manual of arms. It is unfortunate that some boys, in the company and out of it, do not, realize that drilling is not a rehearsal for a_bur- lesque show. Those who have the ac- complishment of being humorous should reserve it for the dances and feeds, which are not so important as winning the flag in May. No cadet with red, fighting blood in him is going to let the difficult parts of the drill “get by him” from now on, but will work hard with Captain Baker and the officers to bring the prize to Eastern. Our chances of doing this are good, and id every man does his best we will win. ARNOLD, 5A. PRESENTATION OF OUTDOOR RIFLE PRIZES. On the 28th of January, the presenta- tion of rifle prizes won in the out-door shoot held at Edsalls, Va., last fall took place in the assembly hall of the Busi- ness High School. Secretary of War Stimson was the principal speaker of the occasion and Brig. Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance.at the War Department, also made a speech. Superintendent of schools, Dr. Wm. M. Davidson presided and he voiced his THE EASTERNER opinions along with Allan Davis, princi- pal of the Business High School and E, H. Daniel, member of the board of edu- cation. Claus J. Schwartz, faculty ad- viser of rifle shooting in our own school also made a few remarks. Several other speeches were made and the general trend of the remarks was, “Let us have peace but be prepared for war when it comes.” The prizes were given out by the vari- ous speakers and among the others, our team composed of Watkins, Arnold, Clark and Davis, representing Co. F, was presented the prize of the inter-com- pany match, a silver cup. E. L. Thurston, assistant superinten- dent of schools, presented the Junior Marksman decorations, two of our boys, Watkins and Arnold, receiving — that medal. Altogether it was a momentous occa- sion and Eastern’s representatives en- joyed it. INTER-CITY MATCHES. There are in progress at the present time, a series of rifle matches between the various public high schools of the United States. Eastern has entered a team in these matches and every Wed- nesday our team shoots against some other high school. The boys who have thus far shot on the team are: Yater, (Capt.), Arnold, Stewart, Secor,’ Clark, Watkins, Chis- holm, Stockett, Williams, H. Graves, Powell, and Davis. Our first match was with Morris High School of New York City, and this we lest by a score of 898 to 810. t We were also beaten in our second match with Stuyvesant High School, the score being 861 to 799. THE EASTERNER In the third match our score was 813 and we won this match by default, be- cause of the failure of South High School of Philadelphia to shoot. We hope to improve our scores and by the time this issue is before the pub- lic, we hope to have won several matches Full details as to conditions and results cr this series will be posted on the bulle- tin board. Watch the bulletin board! CURRENT EVENTS Next semester it is the intention of Miss Bucknam to start a Current Events Pulletin Board. It is to be hoped that many of the pupils will avail themselves of this. The boy who expects to vote and who does not keep up with current events is neglecting a duty to himself and his country. HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. It was with a feeling of satisfaction that America heard of the recent passage of an “Irish Home Rule” bill by the Eng- lish House of Commons. Ireland, at present, is governed by the I:nglish Parliament to which it sends representatives. This system of gov- ernment was begun in 1801 when it was installed in the place of government by an Irish Parliament, at the instigation of that Parliament. Since then the Irish have been fighting against the sys- tem. The present “Home Rule” party was organized in 1870, and has been fighting steadily for “Home Rule” for Ireland ever since. At the last elections the “Home Rule” party allied itself with the Radicals and helped to secure the supremacy of that element in Parliament, and has in turn been given the support of the Radicals 19 in their darling principal, “Home Rule.” The bill will be vetoed by the House of Lords, but if the House of Commons passes it two more times in two differ- ent sessions of Parliament it will become a law. English rule in Ireland has not been satisfactory. It seems to be a fact that Englind, whose diplomacy and valor has made her “Mistress of the Seas” and the center of a great empire “upon which the sun never sets,” England, the ruler of great war-like peoples of many different nationalities, has not been able to keep peace in her nearest dependency and neighbor. Religious and economic oppression have driven the Irish to the fight. An alien state religion has been forced upon them, and they have been forced to pay their taxes for the support of that re- ligion. Landlords have been put over them who have nothing in kindred with them. What the landowners left to them the church took. The Irish the poor and ignorant, but they have ‘been. made so by their gov- ernment. In their own country they are held down, crushed. Yet, they are ca- able of good government. They have helped to give freedom to others and have furnished great men to other na- tions. What they have done abroad they cught to be able to do at home. If the Irish in Ireland are incapable at the present time, it is the English that have made them so. Intoxicated Man—Say, Mister! Is that the moon up there?

INVENTION INDICATES INTEREST A Comfort Within Reach of All. Girls. FoJowing the example of another high-school, we have bought the pat- ent of an invent.on whose popularity has a’ready begun to grow. Like the invention at the other high-school it is espec-ally beneficial to,the girls and since thcre are so many here at East- ern we are expect:ng a large demand, with which we are more than able to cope. The great invention has been de- signed and patented by a hitherto un- known person but who will now win world wide prominence. The Blind Mirror, the paradoxival name by which the patent is known, consists of a metal band to be worn around the head, the band being covered with fancy embroidery. Fastened to and projecting from the front of this band is a metal rod six inches long, sus- pended from the end of which is an oval mirror which may be adjusted so that it will hang directly before the face. It is meant that the Blind Mir- ror should be worn especially in the corridors while going to and from classes. Of course it will obstruct the view in front of the wearer but as the girls never look where they're going anyhow, it can’t make much material difference. Herctofore, it has been pitiable to see girls trying to tuck up a stray lock yf hair or powdering their noses with a ha.f-inch square of fuzz, with noth- ng but the back of a watch or locket for a mirror. On one occasion, a teacher came across a poor girl who was scrubbing a door with furniture oil, hoping to get a polish that w« uld reflect her face. The teacher became compassionate and tak ng off her glasses poured mercury on their backs thus making two ideal mirrors, The Blnd Mirror w:ll supply this crying need and will also do away with the od expensive idea of making the tops of all desks into looking glasses.

Dead Horse Found on School Lot Not long ago, one of the most re- volting sghts the school has been call ed upon to see, was witnessed on th schocl lot where at least four horse lay dead. { After Icarning what these things were, Aggy led out the Glee Club and forming a circle about the horses, they sang the doleful strains of the Crow Song, the appropriate words being: “There lies a horse in youder lane Was by some cruel butcher slain, We'll perch ourselves on his backbone And p’ck h’s eyes out one by one, Caw,‘ Caw, Caa!” This ceremony being over it was de- cided to let the Biological student: dispose of the horses, but it can easil he seen that a carpenter knows mor than any one else how to care oa them. j Moral—Remember nearly every sii- ver sugar bowl has a gold lining.

The Scarehead Publishing Company is a-most in despar trying to make as much noise as some of its contemporarics, to wit: The Bugle, War (on The Trumphet, and the Clarion. ; President Lincoln's recent levy of troops inciuded the cadet companies, but in some mystcrious manner all fell Il, thereby being unable to go Nevertheless, some volunteers were found in the school’s athletes. Knowing that their shooting would be of value, the basket ball quint went accom- panied by the track team for every fighter knows he must be able to run, After a concultation of the faculty, it was decided to petition Congress for a new Easiern High School Bulding, the old one being inadequate in every respect. Our reporter found out, however, that as Congress was busy digging entrenchments in the Capitol grounds, the petition would probably be laid on the table for some time to come. The Scarehead is pleased to welcome a new facu‘ty member in the person of Prof, Percivial Pentigreen Padgett. Pr. P. It is easi'y seen that he will deal out a number of those P’s with which he is so bounteously supplied, We are sure he will soon make many friends among his students. The Principal has requcsted a notice to. be placed in our columns to the effect, that the boys will be careful to knock the mud off the’r shoes at recess after playing their various games in the corn ficid acress the street. Here- tofore the steps and floors have been tracked with mud and dirt, but we hope the mud will now be eliminated. Students have appealed to the Scarehead for a way out of some of their difficulties, One of the gre atest of these being a way to el'minate the un- comfortable crowding of corridors between periods. This is due to the large hocp skirts worn by the young ladies, but since the fair scx have never as yet been known to sacrifice style for comfort, we are unable to offer a satisfac- tory remedy except to give the seemingly idiotic suggestion of narrower skirts. By the time this issue goes to press the electric bells will have been in- stalled in the corridors. This is a new experiment but it will in all probabil- ities prove a success, for it will do away with the old hand bell which is barely heard on the third floor and w:ll revolutionize the whole system.

Douglass upon the subject “Flunking as an art.” Most of us could grasp the meaning of this speech and fully appreciate it. We hope to be honored again some- time by such a prominent speaker as the Hon. Dougla Students are now enduring a great hardship especially during the lunch period, as Mrs. Maloncy, of lunch-rocm fame, has been unable to obtain sugar for coffee, cocoa or even pies, the Confederate States having ceased to ship it north.

On December 13th the question of District Suffrage was discussed. The affirmative won by a two to one vote. The winning side was supported by Miss Orlando, Miss Dick, and Miss Munnerlyn, while the negative debaters were Miss McWade, Miss Handy, and Watson Davis. First honors were awarded to Miss Handy and Miss Orlando, and Miss Munnerlyn tied for second honors. Watson Davis did not compete for honors. On the 22d of January, war with Mexico was discuss- ed. Miss Graves, Mr. Defandorf, and Mr. Weber argued that it was justifiable against the negative, supported by Mr. Chisholm, Miss Darden, and Mr. Boteler. The negative won by a two to one de- cision. Mr. Weber and Mr. Chisholm were awarded first and second honors, respectively. RADIGALISM IS THE PASSWORD OF TO-DAY, A most radical departure from the time-honored customs of inter-school de- bating has been suggested. It may be that this suggestion was brought forward by the decrease in enthusiasm over debating between the schools. Tech and Business have dropped out of the league, Western and cur own school are none to enthu- siastic, while Central is the only school which adheres strongly to the old scheme. This radical plan of inter-school de- bating has been proposed by Mr. Dewitt, a teacher of Western, and by means of it, it is hoped interest may be aroused anew. Ina revised version of this plan, it is proposed that each of the contesting schools should submit six questions for debate and after a committee of teachers THE EASTERNER, lias passed upon them and seen that they are not too difficult, these twelve subjects are to be given out one week before the debate. Six days after this release, at each of the schools, a trial debate will be held, in which the three best debaters are picked to represent the school in the con- test of the next day. But, the debate mentioned above is not the kind with which the high school de- bater is now familiar. It is new and radical in plan. It is proposed that just before each contest, one of the twelve questions be drawn by lot. Each speaker is then to be introduced to the question and he is to be given one hour during which he cen gather his thoughts and prepare his speech upon either, neither, or both sides ot the case. At the end of this time, he will speak before the audience for ten minutes. The decision of the judges are vot to be made solely upon the contest of the speech, but also upon the charac- ter of the preparation and speech. In the inter-school contest, the speakers will be known by numbers and the judges will announce the three best speakers ac- cording to rank. The winning school will he the one whose individual contestants stand higher, as in a track meet. This plan does away with many of the features of the old system. Prepara- tion, long and tedious, but: thorough, is superseded by reliance upon general in- formation. Systematized analysis of the question is done away with, while quick and logical thinking must take its place. It abolishes entirely , the system of coaching, and throws the pupils on their own resources, thus obliterating one of the great objections to inter-school de- bating. This plan, as described or with a few minor changes, will probably be put 23 into operation between our school and Western, for as the Western puts it, ‘There is to be no choice between the old system and the new: the question is between the new and none at all.” PIILOLOGIAN NOTES. The Club work has been done about as usual. Several program meetings have been held at which the works of many of the romantic authors have .been dis- cussed. On November 27, we had a Wordsworth meeting. The roll call was answered by many beautiful quotations from the works of the author of the ait- ernocn. Lucy Graves told us about his life, and commented upon his joys and sorrows. Katharine Kalbfus talked about Wordsworth’s contemporaries, and from her talk we were able to con- rect him with some of the other great writers, American as well as English. Helen Mansuey read Matthew Arnold's opinion of Wordsworth as expressed in the poem entitled “On the Death of Wordsworth,” which compares him to two other eminent authors, Goethe and [tyron. Elizabeth Walton read “ We Are Seven,” and as a “grand finale” Helen Lockwood recited “Daffodils.” Several of the teachers were present at this meet- ing. We were delighted to see them, and hope that all the teachers know that they are always welcome whenever they can spare the time to come to our meeting. During the holidays the Club was busy secially. On December 2oth, the Society gave its annual “Christmas Dance” in the school gymnasium. This year we had a “Domino” dance in which all the girls were masked. The girls had a grand time, and, as soon as it was over began to look forward to another one.

Hitherto, it was a school activity regarded as an infant, but now the infant has outgrown its former place and the honorable editors have given it a place in their honorable columns. The Dramatic Society was organized in the fall of 1910. It was quite success- ful during its first year giving five en- tertainments, culminating with “The Twig of Thorn,” for the spring play. The following year it was reorganized and was even more successful than the preceding year, giving six creditable per- formances, and closing the year with a Shakespearean play, “Twelfth Night.” This year the club was again organiz- ed, at a large meeting early in Novem- ber. The new officers are Helen Lock- wood, president; Samuel Leonard, sec- retary, and Herbert Shinn, treasurer. A program committee was chosen by the s¢ciety to arrange for the program meet- ings which were to occur on the second and fourth Wednesdays in every month. Florence Little and Ralph Ogle were chosen to represent the fourth year. Katherine Jarboe and Theodore Chis- holm, the third year; Ruth Shaw and Raymond Clark the second year, and Elinor Hunt the first year. The first real meeting was held in the assembly hall, December 11th and was enthusiastically attended. In prepara- tion for the Christmas play, Lucy Graves, = DRAMATICS ® —— ——— read a short paper on the hopes and am- bitions of Lady Gregory and her work for the Irish players. Miss Prince told us of the work of the Drama League, and it was voted by the society to affili- ate ourselves with the league in its work, and incidentally to receive the useful in- formation and literature which the lea- gue sends out from time to time. As the Marlowe and Southern players were here in the city, at the time of the meeting, Theodore Chisholm told us something of their success in the task of presenting Shakespeare profitably before the public. In connection with these same great actors, Marcella Cook read of a most interesting festival given by the school children of Chicago in honor of Shakespeare’s birthday. A short sketch cf the plot of “As You Like It” was read Ly Helen Mansuy. The main event of the afternoon was the scene from “As You Like It.” Miss Hourwich took the part of Rosalind and Miss Howell that of Celia. The male characters were as follows: Jacques, Mr, Johnson, Orlando, Mr. Beck, Corin, Mr. English and Touchstone, Mr. Reilly. The performance was entertaining and the audience enjoyed it thoroughly. The Christmas play was the next ef- fort of the society and a great success. Geing-given on the Thursday before the Christmas holidays everyone was happy and it was quite a festal occasion. The following students took part: Misses Watkins, Little, and Mansuy, and THE EASTERNER, Messrs. Ogle, Wood, Von Preissig, Wat- sen Davis, Chisholm and Bradburn. The next meeting was held soon after the holidays. Here again, a scene from Shakespeare was the predominant fea- ture of the program. Act 3, Scene 3, of “Midsummer Nights Dream” was very cleverly done by Misses Von Preissig, Cook, Little, Hunter and Appold. A monologue from the quarrel scene of “The School for Scandal” was given by Helen Lockwood. It is the plan of the program commit- tee to make meetings interesting and yet a real help to the students. Several very good plays are under way now and it is hoped that the club will continue to hold the interest and support ot the student body. PHILOLOGIAN NOTES.

THE EASTERNER. ons ss PURE ICE CREAM Most of us eat ice-cream, but it is very probable that few of us know how it should be made on a large scale. The jlant, owned and operated by the Chap- in-Sacks Manufacturing Company, was for the purpose of mak- ing ice-cream. It can readily be seen then, that everything was planned with convenience, cleanliness, and economy of space as the supreme object. All of the apparatus is so placed that in the process of mixing and freezing, the cream passes {rom one machine to another in the most expeditious and sanitary manner. When the cream arrives from the country it is tested to determine, first, whether it contains the aomunt of but- ter-fat required by law and_ second, whether it contains any harmful bacteria. It is then pasturized, which kills all karmful bacteria. Then it is put into large, sterilized milk cans and placed in a room, the walls of which are always covered with ice. When it has cooled to the temperature of this room, it is ready for use. From here it is taken to the adjoining room where it is put into the mixing vats. The inside of these vats is made of pure German Silver. The rea- son for using pure German Silver is, that it is one of the least soluble metals and forms no harmful compounds with any of the ingredients used. The flavoring material and the sugar are put into the vats with the cream and the whole is thoroughly mixed by large paddles which revolve in the vats. When the in- giedients are thoroughly mixed a valve built expressly at the bottom of the vat is opened and the mixture passes through a sanitary pipe into the freezers, which are in a room directly beneath. The freezers, which consist of a cylinder of pure Gey- man silver surrounded by a jacket through which a very cold brine is con- tually circulating, are so constructed that the process of freezing may be watched. When the freezing mixture las arrived at a certain stage, it is drawn off into the sterilized cans in which it is distributed. These cans are then placed jn a room, the temperature of which is even colder than that in which the cream is kept. Here it is frozen solid and is then ready for delivery. This process is car- ried out in such-a-clean and sanitary Way that it is really a pleasure to watch the manufacture of ice-cream in an estab- lishment such as. the Chapin-Sacks Man- ufacturing Company. And if you go to inspect: the building, you. will be able to understand for yourself why the “Velvet Kind” has gained its great popularity, for PURITY and wholesomeness. - Visi- tors are welcome at the Plant at all times.

Though each issue con- tains few pages, there is a considerable THE EXCHANGE LET'S SWAP pO : : H quantity of good reading matter, due to ccncise arrangement and the employment of smaller type than is generally used in high school magazines.

No single high school could produce a paper of such high merit. The cover designs are always tunique and stamp it as an original paper. ..The Russ, San Diego, Cal., is prob- ahly the most artistic exchange on our mailing list. As the book seller assures vs. “It will beautify the center table of any parlor.” The Oracle, Jamacia, N. Y., though not impressive at first sight, never disap- points the reader.

It could be improved by the addition of a few cuts and cartoons. The World, St. Paul., Minn., is always an interesting paper because of the num- erous cuts and cartoons. It gives one THE EASTERNER. 34 the impression of ebing a wide-awake, up-to-date high school paper. Our other exchanges are equally de- serving of comment. As space will not permit in this issue, we shall reserve a place for them in our following issues. WHAT THE INEXPERIENCED TYPIST NEEDS. A Practical Talk on Business Re- quirements. The other day we were in the Employ- ment Department of. the Remington Typewriter Company, and we were talk- ing on the subject of the inexperienced typist—the typist who has just finished a course in stenography and typewriting at the business school or the commercial course at the high school, and who has been “turned loose” on the business world as a qualified stenographer. “Why is it,” was asked, “that the in- experienced typist generally cannot get more than eight or ten dollars a week, while with a short experience, sometimes not more than a year, and certainly not more than two, they are able to double their earning capacity? Is it that a knowledge of actual business conditions and procedure makes the stenographer doubly valuable? If that were so, it seems that the want might be supplied at least partially by instruction in the busi- ness schools.” “No,” was the reply, “it is not so much that the stenographer has no know- ledge of business and business condi- tions, although that lack of knowledge does, of course, limit the value of the stenographer, for the first few months. The thing that limits the value of the in- experienced stenographer is the fact that, except in the rare cares, the steno- gtapher fresh from school cannot read her notes, and cannot operate the type- writer at a fair rate of speed when Tead- ing from her notes. She seems able to write notes perfectly—many times Wwe have known inexperienced stenographergs who could take dictation at a high rate of speed, and take it so perfectly that an- other good stenographer writing the same system could read the notes as well as her own—and yet they couldn't read their notes. They didn't seem to have practice reading their shorthand Notes taken from “fresh” dictation, and al] of their typewriting practice seems to have been obtained from copying matter al- ready in print. After they are placed in a position they have to develop reading fower as well as writing power, and, in addition, have to learn to typewrite from shorthand notes as well as from printed matter. It takes a different length of time to develop these qualities in differ- ent cases—sometimes the stenographer will catch on in a short while, and then again after a year’s experience she will still be puzzling over that elusive “out- line.’ But this is the reason for the small salaries beginners, and, until this fault is remedied in the instruction at the busi- ness school the beginner will have to be content with half the salary of the com- petent stenographer.” And the moral of all this is plain. Read fresh shorthand notes daily—not only from the engraved pages in your text book, but also fresh notes written from newly dictated matter by your own hand. And then get out your Remington and typewrite the matter from your notes. It’s all very well to be able to jump along on the machine when copying from the copy book, but it’s the plugger that is able to decipher her shorthand notes and typewrite them promptly that pulls down the “long green” in the business office. mseneenien SS EEA rape EA NeA Ye y yawriers n Drug Co.
