Class of the white, class of the blue, Our hearts to thee incline, As we sing of friendships deep and true, In the class of Nineteen Nine. Our colors, the blue of the summer sky, The white of the pure snow gleamingg And we face the future with purpose high Our banners proudly streaming. Our rose in petals White arrayed, XVith not a speck to dim them. May it keep us pure and unafraid, As innocency's emblem. Words by Music by MILDRED BRENNAN GENEVIEVE DAVIS U61 ' The Naughty-Niners For three long, weary years we wandered discontentedly Ejgizlihical about, seeking suitable places for our habitations. Early in the fall of 1908, after enduring many stupendous calamities and overcoming vast obstacles, a permanent location was finally secured. XYe have even conquered the uncivilized hordes of the Regents and, at last, can truthfully profess to be Monarchs of all we surveyf' Origin Qur beginning goes back to the dim and misty past, but and in 1905 we became a well organized band. In the four fol- Growth lowing years our census has changed remarkably, our num- bers diminishing until now we are reduced to about half of our original force. But this half embodies all the mighty traits and powers of a nation thrice its size, Indeed, our intellectual capacity was so great that early in our history the situation became serious. But the Fates governing our destinies, seeing the need of some restraining influence to keep us from too quickly exhausting the supply of knowledge, contrived a new system for using up our superfluous energies. goremmenf Gui' government is an elective limited monarchy, the chief llef . . . . . . . Omcers executive functions being vested, ostensibly, in a king but in Laws reality in a mysterious power behind the throne. It provides also for a few other officials, such as a scribe, a recorder, a collector of the revenues and general caretaker. These all hold their positions for one year, unless convicted of misdemeanors. Our chief law is our con- stitution, a most convenient and flexible instrument as we conform to its principles only when we are inclined. Industries Qur principal occupation is the noble art of correspon- and dence. In the transmission of our productions we disdain to Occupations make use of any modern contrivances, either mail coaches or pneumatic tubes, for with much practice, we have acquired such great t17l skill that, by the simple contraction of our biceps muscle, we are able to land our missives almost directly in the hand of the intended recipient. 'Tis true that sometimes we have a mishap and then we are exposed to a heartless persecution, but even under such affliction we have not lost our natural buoyancy and joyously continue our strenuous labor. Another of our occupations is that of chewing the cud, which all understand well, is indicative of mental absorption and meditation. A very widely distributed industry, although more common near the south- ern border is called 'fwhisperingf' Harvesting is also carried on to a great extent, the most abundant and most easily gathered crop being that of demerits. Only on rare occasions is our toil remitted, allowing us to indulge in such mild diversions as turning over the leaves in some choice books provided for us. Noted Men In our renowned kingdom are to be found the most famous and people in the world, but space allows us to record here only Women a few of the greatest prominence. To begin with, there are R. Hendrickson and M. Danielson the renowned giants. Of equal fame but in direct contrast are our pigmies, L. Aldrich and G, johnson, M. Brennan also deserves mention as being the most ardent of man haters. Among our most active and enterprising members are L. Fletcher and F. jones, the leaders in all riots and mutinous disturb- ances. Then there are our lady killers, L. Bergman and M. Shuttg also the Browniesf' never known to look into a book and last but not least, the world renowned tenor soloist, M. Wfilson, Many others equally illus- trious might be mentioned but it would only add to our sense of mel- ancholy and regretg for we realize that soon we shall have outgrown our present habitation and be forced to emigrate, leaving behind us none so eminent to occupy the places we leave vacant. l18l The White Rose N all the beautiful garcleus of earth, There is no flower of greater worth Than our lovely rose with its petals white Which iills our hearts with pure delight. With a fragrance sweet it fills the airy Aucl cheers our spirits, oppressed by care, .Ns it turns its Calyx to the light, It speaks of the vauisliiiig of night, No heart can long its beauty resist, XYhether covered with pearls of clewy mist Or sunwarcl its lovely heacl upholclsg Ami its many petals with grace unfolds. 'l'he1i let us cherish this beautiful flower, That in our life it may prove a power XN'liich will help to keep us pure as the suowg And teach us truer and truer to grow.

'l'reasurer of the Lyceum in his senior year, He had a good share of the credit in the de- feat of Olean and Niagara Ifalls. .Xlthough he is stately and most dignified, we think he stooped beneath his dignity when he fell in love with a .lunior girl.

She isa pretty, dark, little girl with a demure smile. ller mental power may be known by the faet that when only seven papers in geometry were aeeepted she passed IOO. She expects to enter the training elass, but we ad- vise that when she teaches an extra high plat- form be made so that her pupils may see her. Mildred J. Danielson, Our smallest and next to Ruby, the young- est senior, but the wit, misehief, good nature, knowledge, common sense, physieal strength and litheness stored in that small frame are a wonder.

He partakes considerably of the breeziness of his homestead and possesses the puzzling ability to throw a small, white horse- hide eovered sphere over 'fhome plate so that anyone standing beside or above home plate is unable to hit the sphere. In addition to this the girls all say he has beautiful eyes. Maude M. johnson. Shorty. Captain of Senior basketball team whieh might have been but isn't. XYhat does she play?

She played eenter on the hest girls' haslcet- hall team that H. S. has ever had: and she proves the exception to the rule that large hodies move slowly. She is a jolly, laughing, talking whirlwind.

My dear Bob: It is a long time since last I wrote you, about a year, I think, During that time, I have collected news enough to till a long letter but I will make it as short as possible. Of the many things that have happened during the year, the most interesting events are in connection with the history of our grand class, IQIO. I told you in my last letter of our mustering one hundred and seventy strong in our freshman year and of our organizing and choosing officers, colors, motto and yellg also of our capturing theiinterclass basketball championship in the same year. I tell you, at this the other classes began to sit up and take notice. Be- sides this, early in November of our Soph. year we had that Halloween social I said we were going to have. Several meddling persons re- marked that our ice cream melted, but all who were there can testify that it melted Ollly in the right place. In the second term of the same year we won the interclass indoor meet by a large margin. From that time on no one has had a real look in with us. The first term of this year we went on a straw ride to Belleview to the Hanchett cottage. This marks the climax of our social affairs so far. XYe left home without disturbance from the other classes and after a nice bumpy ride reached the cottage at 6 P. M. A roaring tire helped things along and shortly after our arrival we ate and ate and ate until we could eat no longer. There was also some sweet cider for the thirsty ones. Then we played games. One member had to redeem a forfeit by eating two more pieces of pie. I forget what the doctor bill was. As usual, Howard bowed to the wittiest and smiled at the pret- tlest. A short time ago we had another party. I was not there but the five boys who went with the forty Cmore or lessj girls said they had a fine time. You just bet we are making things hum and we're not through yet. You just wait for our next year's doings. - Your old chum, Hal.

XYe all started out with a good will for learning, but soon decided that .'Xll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 'lihe class was not at all lacking in class spirit and loyalty. On the ninth of April, 1908, an ehn tree, christened the Roosevelt Elin was planted by our class on the west side of the East Second street Grammar School. The other classes were invited to participate in the exercises connected with the pla11ting. Short speeches and recitations were given by members of the class and Superintendent R. R, Rogers read an original poem. About a month later the class again showed itself well up-to-date. A yacht ride was enjoyed on May 16 to the summer home of Miss Leet at Point Chautauqua. Here a pleasant so- cial time was spent and a good repast served. The sub-freshmen were kindly hidden welcome to this outing. One of their number tried to make believe he was a man and, most deservedly, was very ill from the after effects of his smoking. Our Sophomore year started well and in earnest. In December we gave the Christmas program and went so far as to show our good will to the other classes by presenting to each an appropriate gift. After the January examinations were safely over, we decided to celebrate our survival by having a skating party at Celoron. Part of our members went there and the rest went t0 the home of Lester lXIorningstar and had a sociable time. At a later hour all met at the latter's home where we had a jolly good time. XYe are now settled down to hard work and without doubt you will hear more of us in the future. l47fI Good Manners and Good Form i for the Sophomores Margaret Petyt Ol the Dick-ens, is not a pleasing expression. XYe should expect better than this from you. Floyd Van Dusen Floyd Johnson XYhy don't you try a correspondence school for instruction in vocal lessons? Arthur Nord Do not let your lady friend over-rule you. She may be larger than yon, but in this day and age it is not the size that counts. Ruth Fairchild You are far too young to think seriously about a XYilly. If you must love, look for another. Esther M. Lindberg Ruth Tuxford XYe would advise you to run, in case a fellow looked at you. Addie Williams Lillian J. Carver Smile and await. Those who wait shall be rewarded. Margaret Page Be not hasty to run out of school when it closes as if thou wert weary of being there. Patrick Guinnane XX'hat an outlook you have towards becoming famous as an orator, Selden Phillips Do you run on Erie time? This is the only way we can account for your slowness. f48l Margaret Snowball You wonder why you lack class spirit. Don't study so hard, Lawrence Meredith Quarrel not nor contend with your fellow students, but live in love, peace and unity. Althea Johnson Ruth Van Scoter XYe quite agree with you. Your musical talent is wonderful. You should spend at least live hours a day practicing scales and three hours playing rag-time. Ethel L. Bush Ask not for anything, but tarry till it be offered thee. Richard Cobbe lYork should be your recreation. Rhea Ferrin Yes, we know you are blessed with the gift of gab, but try to con- trol yourself at I 130. Mary Crissey XYe like you for your learning, your sincerity, your truth. Gertrude Johnson Dance with him, play for him, then let it end,- Be not impressed by the letter he'll send. Horace Butts The only way we can suggest to help you out of your difficulty is to organize a walking team to Syracuse. May Hillstrom ' To talk without effort is after all, the great Cll2ll'1ll of talking. Carroll Hall It is advisable when taking a young lady to an entertainment to ask the rest of your family to chaperon you. Samuel Bowers Yes, a walk to the Post Office on Sunday morning would be a very healthy exercise, as it would probably stimulate the palpitation of the heart. l49l r Helen Fay Kathleen Briggs lJon't take things too seriously. liollow the example of those gone before you. Floyd King Yes, it would be better to wear your silver medal and show your belief. lt may do good. Mary Gribbin Leah Seymour Gladys Johnson Yes, an H in Caesar counts for much, but don't let it make you sick trying to get it. Pauline Peterson Thy blush becomes thee well. Herve Moore You surely have had time enough to decide who is to be the lucky ladv. Elliott Spring L. joy Stoddard Ministry would be a good vocation for you to follow, but why look the part so early in life. Kathleen Brier High headedness is only becoming to some. I lie more sociable. Elizabeth Colwell Dora H. Woods l'Vhy be so meek? XYhy not stand up for your rights? Henrietta Sandstrom Estelle V. Swanson Laugh not too much! Mabelle Alton Yes, we really think you are the best fitted for the presidency of the L. T. S. Alice Beaver Of course you are not to blame if all the boys persist in staring at you. A rsoi Q Ellis Beck But how can you expect to escape feminine attention with those soulful eyes of yours? J. Russell Rogerson To become popular keep on playing football. You are on the right track. Moss W. Phillips Yes, it is very bad policy to borrow lessons from absent members. Chester H. Herrick Frank J. Tefft lYe suggest that you would be more attractive if you put away childish things. Gale Cheney If you wish to get out of school at 3:05, we advise you to put on rubber heels. Glen Helgren Yes, you have been a great help to the Editors of the Red and Green with your witty jokes. We see an opening for you as a lnnnorist. Guy Bennett VVe advise you not to take things too seriously. Even the most learned men smile once in a while. Doris Treat For a girl of your age we would advise you to pay more attention to girl friends and much less to boy friends. J. Percy Bailey VVe should think it would be enough to walk to and from school with herg go over to her seat and talk before and after school hours and call on her from seven to eleven in the evening. Berdena Harrington Moderate your voice. A lady never raises her voice above a scream. Josephine L. Thomas It is very bad for the eyes, to look at one object all the time. XYe advise a change. Margia Warner Giggles come from a nervous temperament. Eat plenty of celery. Ellen O'Conne1l VVe know of nothing better than to smile. l5ll ' Levi Barrows The Grow 'llall Company is not a reliable firm. For your case we would advise you to hang on the top of a door for two hours daily with a heavy weight attached to your feet. Myrabelle Boyce Fern Barrows No, it is not considered immodest to talk, Clyde Root Never work too hard even if you do Hunk. Jessie Sunderland The more choruses you join the better, Viola Tyler Inez Butts Talking is not always to converse. Iris Saxton Rae Benson XYe can find no fault with your modesty and neatness. Raymond Burr lf you are not able to attain high standing any other way, try blufling. It might help. A little blufling now and then is prac- ticed by the best of men. Alice Garfield XYe ltave pondered late into many nights and we have concluded that it is impossible to be more adorable. Louise Seymour No, we know of no way in which you can increase your ability for asking questions. Marvin Gokey Yes, we know it is hard luck for one with such a pleasant smile as yours to be a Soph. If you wish to come out unblemished, join the freshies. 'l'hey're a pretty good looking bunch. jesse Ogden I It is a misfortune, but don't be discouraged. Other great mathe- maticians have been small. Edna Geer NYe agree with you that it was nice of you to sing in the chorus at Christmas time. E521 Donald Horton Keep up your good work and you will be the center on the basket- ball team in some future year. Robert H. Fuller If you could manage to be in school on time someday, you would find that you are not as unpopular with your teachers as you may think. Eleanor Burtch b No, it is not the best policy to make love to him. He may seem timid but don't force him to confess that he doesn't love you. Frank T. Page Vincent Van Slyke XYe know of nothing that will help blushing unless a rouge. Pearl Trantum Be sure to be off with the old love before you are on with the new. Rupert Wright Dancing is your art. Through a little trying at first you will surely succeed. Glenn Jobes It is a misfortune you are so sarcastic. XYe would grow fond of you if it were not for this. Leonora Wescott Vera Beal Hazel Nobbs Spend more time studying and less in idle dreaming. Helen West Beulah Wilcox You may sit in the hammock with a young man provided it is not dark and you are well chaperoned. Helen Martin Edith Follansbee XYe think it would be a good plan to return to Busti and be the village teachers after finishing your course in J, H. S. Doris B. Johnson Boys and girls should and may meet to play and have a pleasant time together, but no girls under sixteen at the earliest should receive calls from the boys. f53l THE FRESHMEN. rf X gf ,..... il..i...

Roiuiix and play were over in September. and the children were started on their flowery course of knowledge without mueh breaking of rules. Every seat in the study-hall is lilled, with some running over on the front seats. The teachers are crowded with work. Pareiits are informed every month, or supposed to be, pertaining to the possible pre- tense ot wisdom of then' infants. All the little boys and girls, who came over from the Grammar School early in Sep- tember, and who have kept their eyes 1113011 the teachers so faithfully, have now grown more bold. They still keep their eyes upon the teachers, just the same, but for quite another purpose. Rules were then hard to learn and many of them were broken, llllll too easily mended by demerits. Although awful threats eome from the august and austere principal at the desk, as to rolling marbles across the study-hall floor or throwing small white missives across the broad aisle, these still hnd their way over the study-hall. Tlie hre drills occur from time to time, lllll as yet no panic has been occasioned, since they always come at noon. Over the whole Preparatory is cast a gloom when the time for Regents appear, as some small children have really forgotten to study before this. Regents ran riot. But when the new term commenced, peaee was again restored, and some pupils felt a head taller, some a head shorter. Yet in spite of all these things, the l'1'eparatory bolus 1,111 serenely, and, for all we know, is very contented. l59l Sub-Freshman Roll Mildred Ahlstrom Delana T. Alden Forence Anderson Frances M.

In fact, a metaphor suggests itself from the not too-remote resemblance, in which the Avon Club may be likened to a train of mediaeval knights weary cf warfare, intrigue, and feudal crime, returning home with trailing banners and rusted mail, to be met with the glad greeting of singing and dancing maidens. For so appear gentle Miranda, gay Rosalind, witty Portia, dainty Perdita, and Sweet Nan Page as they strew the path of this year's study with blossoms of lightsome jest and laughter. And so, for a restful twelve-month, the frowning castle is deserted for the freer life of flowery meadows, and dying bugle-blasts are drowned in love's serenades and jesters' merri- ment. For the coming season QIQOQ-IQIOD the Senior Chapter proposes an elaborate plan of work in the study and discussion, with illustrative read- ings,of the 1ni11or Elizabethan dramatists, Shakespeare's predecessors and contemporaries. The junior Chapter will enter upon a more compre- hensive view than has hitherto been suggested, of Shakespeare, the man, his works and iniiuence, with accompanying dramatic readings. Thus, with enthusiasm undiminished, purpose clear, and loyalty to their chosen bard unshaken,-with willing leaders, membersltip-lists over' flowing, and a sufficient treasury, the Avon Club reviews its past years of successful accomplishment,and peering hopefully ahead,sees in the future, yet brighter scenes, and acts still more progressive and complete. Viewed with backward or with forward glance, the vista is a bright one to those studiously inclined-and of such is the Avon Club. E681 Junior Chapter Membership List Regna K. Ahlstrom M.

The first debate was held in Institute Hall, with Olean. On this occasion two of the three judges decided that James- town had most decisively upheld the negative. The second was with Niagara Falls, where our boys again came off victorious, three judges this time considering that the negative as upheld by Jamestown was entitled to the decision. This should give Jamestown the cupg for no other school in the league has won two debates, all except Niagara win- ning one and losing one, 'Niagara losing two. A unique feature of the second debate was a contest with Frews- burg on the opposite side of the same question. Those debaters who failed to get on the Niagara Falls team in the preliminary, made up the Frewsburg team. Several debates were held privately and both teams were much benefited by the training thus received. Of course, the de- cision was in favor of Frewsburg, but no one who heard the debate re- garded the decision as being in any way conclusive. A new plan has been tried in the general work of the Lyceum this year. Tdie nienibers have lJeen chvided into TQCPIUJNCHHS znid IDenio- crats. The debates have been argued by the opposing parties and every- one marked according to this work. At the end of the year the side re- ceiving the most points will be adjudged to have won. This has bettered the work in the Lyceum to ia great extent. All things considered the past year has been highly successful.

First in the round comes the foot ball man XYith his brawny arms and face of tan. No mere child's play can this be called Which requires each man to be duly mauled. Then next in line comes the basketball boy XYhose grace and speed are surely a joyg And also here is required great strength Or on the Hoor he measures his length. Then last but not least is the boy at the bat To whose skill in playing we lift our hat: For by pitching and catching and stealing of bases lVe know they're preparing to win in life's races. Now each of these games has its dangers 'tis true, But what with our boys would you advise us to do? Shall we wrap them in cotton and set them aside Or let them in danger be properly tried? In these games which seem rough and by many deplored You will find a real gain which should not be ignoredg They learn without whimpering to take all the knocks And to hold themselves ready for the hardest of shocks. They learn to think quickly and act on the thought Ylfhich is something that from books can never be taught. Their muscles are tonghened and tempered like steel, They learn to observe and acquire courage, real. Then, too, they are judged by their equals in age And must learn to bear verdicts without venting rage. But most useful of all for their future weal Is forgetting of self in their loyal zealg For honor of team and school and all Comes first and last in playing ball. E781 v Harry J.

S 15 H331 I The Substitute RUBEN lay stretched at full length upon a low couch which occu- pied one side of his roomg but, although his position spoke of re- pose, his brow was clcuded with a slight frown as though he was thinking deeply. This was something unusual for Reubeng for that was the last thing he would ever be accused of doing. Nevertheless he was thinking or dreaming whichever one you choose to call it. When Reuben left the locker room that afternoon, he had been stopped by Doc, and told that he would probably have a chance in the Thanksgiving game, and although that was all Doc, said, it was enough to make him feel on pretty good terms with himself and the world in generalg and now, lying there thinking, it came to him what it would mean. This was his Hrst year at football and during the year he had worked hard and faithfully at practice, until now he was sub half-back. He thought that he would undoubtedly have a chance to play in the coming game: for Dick Fairfax, the regular half-back, had an awfully weak shoulder making it doubtful whether he could ever go into the game, much less play the whole game. He thought of how he had worked for just this chance. How he had lain awake at night thinking of the day when he should be one of the team laboring to carry the Red and Green to victory. He thought of the many times he had been discouraged and on the point of dropping from the squad, of the weary days he had prac- ticed in the drizzling rain and the cold bleak days of autumn, his hands so numb and stiff that he could hardly move them. It filled him with a great joy and an honest pride that he had stuck to it, and had not given up, as he felt like doing so many times. For his reward he had a chance in the most important game of the season. It was worth itf' he said to himself, every bit of it. Perhaps Reuben would not have been so hopeful if he could have heard the conversation between Jack Hartley and Dick Fairfax as they were leaving the locker room only a few minutes after he himself left that afternoon. XVell, Dickg things are coming along pretty good now, everyone is in first-class condition with the exception of yourself, but with not prac- ticing any this week I think your shoulder will be all right by Thanks- giving. E841 Oh, Illl be all right, Jackg but if I should have to go out who'll you put in my place Pl' Come, nowg don't talk like that Dick, you know we are depending on you for a touchcknwn on that nick lday.

In a minute they have stripped off their heavy sweaters and are going through signals at both ends of the field. Now all eyes are turned to the red and green.

Now the two captains are shaking hands, and now the coin goes spinning in the air, jack wins and chooses to defend the west goal. 'The teanisline up and lhCflfOF21f6W'df6HdfUl1HlHUt6S due to sonie delay, Reuben has time to think. He has a queer feeling around his heartzunlfor anne unaccounudde reason hislegs ahnost gnfzvvay be- l85l neath him. It is his first game and he nmst play for the honor of old J. H. S. He feels faint and sick. He is afraid that now that his chance has come he will be weak and found wanting. Then the red blood surges through his veins, and he swears to himself that he will play, play as he never has before and rather than be beaten he will die first. Jamestown ready? comes in the loud voice of the refereeg and again Reuben feels that queer weak feeling but there is no time for hesitation now. Warren ready F The whistle blows and the ball goes sailing far down the field into the waiting arms of one of VVarren's backs and then the game is on in earnest. XVith the contact of the first scrimmage, his nervousness wears off and he begins to think and act calmly. He be- comes absorbed in the game, forgetting everything but the one thought of playing for his life, to get through and get the mang or when carry- ing the ball to make every step count. So the game went on, neither side scoring and the first half ended nothing to nothing. During the short period of rest Jack came up to him and said he was doing all right but that they were going to win in the next half and that he would be the one to do it, and that he would have to do it on the trick play that they had been saving particularly for this game. The second half opened with both teams going in to win or die, They fought back and forth, now one side gaining and now the other, until, with only about two minutes to play, jack by a terrific line plunge brought the ball within thirty yards of VVarren's goal line. Now the awful moment had come. Now was the time for the trick play. Could he do it P Was he equal to it ?,' Reuben asked himself. There was no weakness now. The answer came instantly, yes. jack found time to whisper in his ear, You've got to do it, old fellow, for my sake, for the whole team's sake. Now comes the signal, 25-35-79, but the ball is not snapped. Sig- nalsf' yells the little end and again, H25-35-793, and still the little end feigns not to understand. H25-35-79, for the third time comes from the quarter and he starts toward the end to explain. By this time the whole VVarren team was standing up laughing. A. moment of breathless stillness, and then from a signal from Reu- ben, the ball comes direct from center and he is off like the wind. The other team is not fooled so easily, howeverg but with the interference that he has, Reuben manages to get past every one except the little Wfarren quarter. He has not very much time to think but running with every i861 ounce of his strength at his man, he meets him fair and square and some- how managing to keep his feet he draws himself and the man clinging to him over the line for a touchdown. Then every one goes wild. The spectators crowd out on the field and he is nearly smothered with their Congrzttulations. Time is up, the goal is kicked and the score stands I. H. S. 6-W. H. S. O.

I7 l88l The Football Season of 1908 HE football season of 1908 was very successful from every view- point. NYe won every interscholastic game but one, and that was lost by only a small margin. At the beginning of the season, things looked rather dark because it seemed as if we would be unable to secure any grounds for our home games. This difficulty was overcome by engaging to play two games with the Crescents, a strong, SCll'Il-1Jl'O- fessional team that had already secured the use of the cricket grounds. They were out of our class but we very pluckily held them down and lost gamely. The first interscholastic game was played with Bradford. The small score, live to nothing, in our favor, speaks for itself. The next, with Fredonia, we also won, score six to tive. But Glean proved too strong, although we lived up to our reputation of Hgamenessl' by a six to ten score. XVe wound up the season by a grand victory over the Teclmical High School of Buffalo, score, twenty-two to nothing. NYC tllell scored a total of forty against our opponents' fifteen. The second team also deserves special mention. They played a series of live games, with a total of sixty-nine against their opponents' seventeen. They demonstrated their superiority over the XYarren High School's second team by winning two decisive games. The Chamberlain Military Institute's second team, having lost a first game, came prepared to win the second time with their lineup strengthened by two or three of their best first team men. But with dogged determination, old J. H. S. held them to a nothing to nothing game. The prospects for next year are very bright. Under the leadership of Louie Collins our gamey little end, victory can be seen in the future. With the first team nearly intact, and a very strong second team, foot- ball ought to be a winner, but if not, a good scrap will be put up for that same, with the determination that always wins in the long run, and of which Jamestown has her share, being noted for fighting grimly to the last ditch. It is this spirit which makes athletics such splendid training for future years. whenthe opposing team will be adversity and the goal success. l89fl 0 J. H. S.

N the whole, interscholastic basketball in the High School for 1909 has been a success. True, at the end of the season we have not come out a winner of the total number of games played, but the teams have done excellent work, and have no reason to feel ashamed, In the majority of cases the opposing team has been heavier by many pounds than ours. ' The first game was played at Union City, with whom we opened interscholastic relations for the first time. Jamestown won. The second game was a victory over Fredonia. Then came the aggressive Erie team: and we were treated to a pyrotechnical display of whirlwind basketball that left Jamestown much too far in the rear when the final whistle blew. Then Franklin lost to us and evened up things a bit. But Dunkirk, Olean, Dunkirk again and finally Fredonia finished up the sea- son with victories and leftiold J. H. S. hopelessly in the rear. The sec- ond team did much better, winning three out of a total of four games played. The school backed up the team nobly. The gymnasium was crowded at every game with a cheering enthusiastic, student representation. Nor was the cheering confined to those times when Jamestown was ahead, No matter what the score, the team was encouraged by the thought, vociferously expressed, that the students symfmathized with them in their efforts. The interclass games were also well played and well attended af- fairs, The freshmen won by a clean record of six straight games with the Juniors and Sophomores tied for second place, and the Seniors an ap- parently bad last, with only one game to their credit. In reality, l'ow- ever, the Seniors did not make such a bad showing. In the first place only two niembers of the team played last year, and in the second place luck was against them, for one game was a tie and lost by a narrow margin and the other games were scrappily played, their opponents win- ning by one or two points only. Taken altogether basketball has been a success both financially and from the standpoint of clean athletics. And judging from the past and the school spirit, we have the most sanguine hopes for the future. E931 Inter Class Basket Ball Clifford Brown, Capt., r. f.

X I I Abs V Art Education in Gur Public Schools llli subject of .Xrt liducation in the public school has been mar- velously developed in the last few years. Perhaps the improve- ment in the last live years has been more marked than in any pre- vious corresponding period. This may be due to the fact that educators all ovcr the land have awakened to the realization that Art Education plays a large part in the rounding out of the individual and is a con- spicuous element of the commercial and industrial world. The regular course in Art liducation in the public schools of the city of ,lamestown begins with the first grade, continues through all the grades and includes a three years' course in the High School, also sometimes adding a year's work in the training class. It embraces work along different lines, including drawing from nature, from models, still life, from the pose clay modeling, color with crayons and paint, construction and ornamentation of boxes, portfolios, programs and book covers, and making rafha mats and baskets. The work is based on the l'rang system and above the third grade the artistic .Xrt books are placed in the hands of the children. Though the work is by no means confined to the books, they are an inspiration to both teacher and pupils and offer many suggestions along different lines. The work is under direct supervision and is arranged so that the same grades throughout the city are doing about the same kind of work at the same time. This does not restrict the teacher as she is allowed great freedom and need not lose her individuality or personality in fol- lowing out the work laid down for her grade. ln the lower grades the children are allowed a great deal of freedom in the expression of some of their work. For instance they are told to illustrate a story, a song, l98l an incident in life or a game. The result, while crude, will tell that the subject is understood and that the pupil has told it in his own way. Here the teacher's aim is to get spontaneity and freslmess. This liberty must not, however, be carried to the extreme, but much of the time the child must work under direct instruction. The work from Hrst to last is to make tl1e individual more observing, cultivate his imagination, give him deftness of fingers, teach him to see correctly and to be able to execute what he sees. Even the common things of life have an attraction to a trained eye that is lost to one whose attention has not been called to see their beauties. The common weed by the roadside, flowers, birds and animals, the color of the sky and the earth, the shapes of the trees, the form and color of the clouds, all possess a beauty that the uneducated eye is unable to enjoy, at least in a less degree than one educated along artistic lines. Drawing is closely allied to that of other subjects and should be and in many cases is used in direct connection with them, especially is this true in the sciences. lVIanual training and drawing are also closely allied. In one of the lower grades theichildren weave rugs on small hand looms. There they come in contact with one of the great industries of the world, one that has existed for many centuries. In making a mat or basket, which they do in another grade, they may display taste and originality as to color combination, design and shapes. They become interested often in the history of the Indian through the study of the basket. Picture study takes its place in the curriculum of the school. We are most fortunate in having in our schools a line collection of repro- ductions in photographs, photogravures and earbons of masterpieces of art, people of note, ' buildings, and places of historic interest. Two exhibitions of pictures have been held in the High School which the children and young people attended and for which they sold tickets, the money being used for the purchase of pictures. There was also an entertainment given for which tickets were sold and this money was also used for the purchase of pictures. As a result of these entertain- ments, the schools own about two hundred framed pictures, the frames being furnished by the Board of Education, All the school rooms are now provided with one or more choice pictures. Each grade has its artists to study, and by the time the eighth grade is reached the pupils should be familiar with such names as Landseer, Bonheur, Raphael, Corot and have learned to recognize their pictures and those of many other artists. Surely picture study is an educational and ethical power in the school room. Many of the different classes which have graduated from the High T991 School have presented to the school beautiful pieces of statuary. By this means we have in our study hall The Vatican Eagle, a bust of Grant, one of Lincoln, The Apollo and Minerva, all with appropriate brackets on which they are supported. There is also the Aurora and The Spirit of '76 in bas-relief. The class of 1909 has been no exception, but has presented a tablet with Lincolnis Gettysburg Address, which has been appropriately placed below the bronze bust of the martyred president, This year the spirit of patriotism has become contagious. The teachers and pupils of District No. IO, of the Sherman Street and Second Street Grammar Schools have all purchased and presented to their re- spective schools a bust of Lincoln either in lvory or bronze. It is, l think, not too much to say that this giving has been brought about largely by the influence of the study of Art in the schools, And this study helps to give the individual a rounded out education which will broaden his horizon and make life more practical and useful to himself and to society. B. H. NU. H001 Memoirs of a Year in the High School A collaboration by Dorothea Abrams and Marion Benson September znd. My! there has been such a bustle ever since I came here, that I haven't had a chance before to write in this journal I've decid- ed to keep. lfdgewood is a pretty place. The High School is a modern red brick building about half a mile from where we live now. It is the be- ginning of the new school year so all the pupils are busy planning their schedules. I have had quite a time getting mine fixed right. This is what I've scheduled for: Chemistry, Caesar, Physical Geography, English 3rd., German 211tl year, Music and Gym. Of course, this is a good stiff program, but as I am here to study and not to fool, I will su1'ely get along O. K. September 4. I've met quite a lot of girls here, they are all nicc but I'm specially smitten with Elizabeth Carr, Betty they call her. She seems quite gay though and, of course, as I am here to study, I can't get in with any one like that. I won't join any clubs, though the girls say there are quite a lot here in school. I intend to improve my mind. September 8. XYell, I haven't Hunked in anything yet, but I have to work until 10:30 at night and get up at Hve in the morning. I some- times wish I hadn't taken quite so many subjects, but I do want to be intellectual. The Sophomore class met today and elected their officers, XYe are going to have a party in the Gym. very soon. Betty Carr is a Freshman, too. She lost her standing last year. September 15. XYe had our Sophomore party last night. Had a perfectly dandy time. Had four dances with the President of the class, Mr. Denton. He is tall, good looking and a dream of a two-stepper. October 4. I went to the football game today with Mr. Denton, Gee! I was so excited I fairly yelled all the time. Our boys won 8 to 7, and we sang and everything like that. I've flunked twice now in Chem- istry and once in P. G. Oh! Hum! IIOII October 15. I've decided to join the Alpha Pi Sorority. There are such jolly girls who belong. I'm getting thin from studying so dread- fully much and I'ni going to drop Chemistry. XYe sang f'Harrigan in l'. G. today and Miss XYilson got us as far as the otiice door and decided to give us one more trial. November 4. Betty skipped school this afternoon and went to the matinee with lfred .Xllen. IIe has a terrible case on her and I reckon she has a case on him, too. He writes her perfectly fierce notes. November Io. XYe had a fudge party down in the Gym. locker room today. I didn't eat much dinner. Mother thinks I'm studying too hard. I really have got a pretty hard schedule. XYell I must get ready for the Alpha l'i dance. I'm going with Frank and have had a new gown, made Ifmpire style. It's a dream, if I do say it myself. Oh dear! I tiunked in Caesar today and Miss Smith, the Caesar teacher said some real bitey things. I explained that I wasn't well. I'll bet a black cat, she uses a pony herself. November 30. I'n1 captain of the basketball team for tl1e .Xlpha's, XYe generally beat the other Sororites. XX'e got one more chance today. Qhliss XYilson againj. December 2. I've had a horrible time today. XYe had a sub, in linglish and Betty and I thought we would have some fun in her period in the study-hall. So we went to the grocery and got a few things to eat, just olives, nabiscos, zu zus, cookies, a pumpkin pie and some chocolates. XYe didn't make any disturbance, just passed the things around and ate them. The sub, didn't seem to mind and we were enjoying our- selves so much, when who should come up but Miss Crane and tell us to report to her at four o'clock. She had been in the back of the room all the time. XYe got three demerits apiece. Some of the girls think Miss Crane is a regular cat. December 8. This afternoon we took a cocoanut into Miss 'l'racey's room. XYe gave her a piece and she never said a word about our noise. I always did think she was a duck. I think I'll drop German. December 12. Frank has taken me to all the basketball games and lfred takes lletty. XYe four have just a regular circus when we are to- IIOZI gether. XYe are going for a sleigh rimle lfriclay night.

How could I name one hero To suit both me and you? So herels to the boys of every class Each one a hero may be, But as to the one most worthy of all XVe never could agree. Il04l H051 A Famous School HTC Royal High School of Edinburgh traces its history back to the school founded hundreds of years ago by the monks of Holyrood Abbey. It boasts of royal patronage and has a long rollofdistinguish- ed former pupils, of whom the most familiar to us is Sir VValter Scott. It deserves its pretentious title not so much because of royal patronage as for its commanding site and historical associations. For Edinburgh, like Jerusalem of old, is 'fbeautiful for situation. Its romantic history is vividly recalled by its medieval castle, its stately cathedral, its royal palace and ruined abbey, while the renown of its authors, scholars and divines extends throughout the world. The buildings are located on a broad, high terrace at the foot of Calton Hill. From this terrace one looks across the valley towards Arthur's seat, to his left is Holyrood Palace and Abbey, to his right St. Giles, Cathedral and Edinburgh Castle,-all suggestive of stirring events in the history of Scotland. Among such scenes, history and literature are living realities. The various buildings are scattered irregularly about a paved yard which serves as playground and according to the universal British cus- tom, is enclosed with a substantial Wall of masonry. The principal building is a reproduction of a beautiful Doric temple. lt is not at all a conventional school-house, yet it is not only an exquisite piece of archi- tecture, but fits its surroundings perfectly. 'The other buildings are simpler in design, but being British are, of course, substantial, and afford ample facilities for all the varieties of instruction which characterize the modern high school. There are physical and chemical laboratories, a great library, workshops for wood and metal, a commercial department, and a well equipped gymnasium with an attractive swimming pool. I noted that the physical instruction included fencing, gymnastics, mili- tary drill and swimming and that here as often in Great Britain the in- structors have military titles. There are also rooms and appliances for all forms of the usual mathematical and classical instruction. The Grand Hall, used for purposes of assembly, is worthy of par- ticular mention. It is a fine room with an ornate ceiling. Though it has galleries, the principal seating space is on the main floor which is arranged in the form of an oblong amphitheater and, strangely enough, the seats are plain benches without even a back, one degree less luxur- H061 ious than those in our own Institute Hall. The walls are adorned with portraits of former head-masters, but the place of honor in the center of the amphitheater is given to a bust of the Prince of XVales, now King Edward VII. For although King Edward was not strictly speaking a student of the school, he was once a pupil in Edinburgh under one of the masters of the school. Moreover, he has twice visited the school and is counted as a patron. Of all his services to the Royal High School, the o11e best appreciated by the boys is his grant of a spacious cricket field in the grounds of Holyrood Palace. The secondary schools of Great Britain differ from the American high school in many ways, but chieily in these particulars: They are rarely co-educational, in the girls' schools the teachers are usually all women, in the boys' schools, except occasionally for the very youngest, they are all men. The course of study covers both grade and high school subjects, consequently a pupil may enter a secondary school for his first instruction, and all who enter are expected at ten years of age, at the latest not older than twelve. These are not free schools. The masses get their education in free elementary schools and only a favored few of the connnon people receive a secondary education. There is, however, an extensive system of scholarships by virtue of which a few of the most capable boys from the elementary schools are enabled to enter the secondary schools. There are numerous prizes and scholarships of substantial value, not to mention a great number of book prizes and medals. So the boy in the secondary school has his course of study planned to suit his needs. Instead of continuing the study of the common branches until they are completed and then taking up academic studies, the British lad begins his French, geometry and science, before he com- pletes his English, arithmetic and geography, consequently he continues his common branches much longer than with us and has algebra to aid his arithmetic, a foreign language to help his English and science for his geography. He has also a much longer period for his academic studies. Both very obvious advantages. XYith another American teacher, I spent an afternoon at the school and heard three recitations each through an entire period. The first visit was to an English class, but this chanced to be the day for the weekly lesson in Anglo-Saxon language and literature. I am not well versed in Anglo-Saxon but I was much interested in this lesson because of the methods of the teacher and the responsiveness of the class. In this as in all the schools I visited the teacher does most of the work. The lesson is rather a lecture or exposition. An occasional question is fl07l asked, but the teacher is not greatly disturbed if he is left to answer it himself. But the boys were attentive and interested and appeared to think they had some responsibility in the matter, This last is explained, no doubt, by the fact that examinations play a large part in these schools. In the geometry class the teacher spent the entire period in presenting the subject of the right angle, illustrating the topic by many and various methods. As these boys have plane geometry for several years, one can easily believe that they will be familiar with it at the end of the course. ln the geography class each boy had a detailed map of Edinburgh and vicinity, and in accordance with careful directions by the teacher was working out in his note-book certain problems suggested by the lllflp. In the rector's office we had a delightful visit and then the rector conducted us about the principal buildings and entertained us with stories about the 1nen and events of other days. I was particularly struck with this incident of a former rector whose portrait is one of those on the walls of the Assembly Hall. He retained his position until he was very old and died in office. As he lay dying his last words were, 'flt is growing dark, boys, we will go home. The rector complained, half- humorously, that although yet strong and vigorous, as he evidently was, he was about to be retired because of reaching the age limit, with a pen- sion I suppose. Upon leaving this most interesting school we were accompanied by the rector for a long distance and further entertained by his sparkling conversation. Not the least interesting of his anecdotes were those re- lating to his friend and college classmate, the late Sir Henry Irving. R.

They are prompted by the pa- triotic desire that the 1909 issue of The Red and Green should take proper notice of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of this great American. Mankind has a genius for describing great characters with a word or phrase that lives through the ages. For more than a century VVash- ington has been known as the Father of His Countryf' and he will be thus known as long as history shall endure. It is the truth expressed in the name that makes it immortal. VX'ith Americans, Lincoln is well known under any one of numerous descriptive titles: Rail Splitterf' Honest Abe, 'fGreat Emancipatorfi Savior of the Union, First Typical Americanf, Each of these, except the last, describes some condition of his life or trait of his character easy to see at a glanceg or calls to mind some particular service to his country with which all are familiar. But what claim has Lincoln to be called the First Typical Americann? XYhat does it mean? And is it true? Every nation has certain foundation principles of government and law, as well as certain traits of national life and character. And when any citizen refiects in a marked degree such traits and principles in his own life-in what he says and what he does and what he is-he may be called a type citizen of that country. There were reasons why it took a long time to determine just what kind of nation ours was to be. The early settlers came from different countries and, consequently, had different ideas and customs. Then, too, among the English colonists themselves there were very different views on important subjects. Many believed in slaveryg others opposed it. Some believed in freedom of worship: others in an established church. Some thought all political rights should center in the hands of men of wealth and rankg others said all freemen should share in the gov- ernment. Many thought we should have a strong national governmentg while others would leave the States supreme, allowing any State to with- draw from the Union at will. Accordingly for the first half century and more-even after gaining our independence - this nation was slowly struggling toward a national life. The principles of government and law, the traits of char- H101 acter and the beliefs wl1ich were to make us conscious that we were really one people, were slowly taking shape. Let us see how these na- tio11al principles, traits and beliefs hnd expression in the life and deeds of Abraham Lincoln. I. HIS BIRTH Lincoln's lowly birth has linked him forever with the plain common people. Thus in his origin he bears out the cherished principle, dear to the hearts of all true Americans, that any child, though he first see the light in a log cabin amid the hard conditions of poverty and want, may attain to the best and the highest the nation has to give. II. HIS LOVE OF LIBERTY In his letters and speeches, Lincoln often expressed the wish that all men everywhere might be free. In his speech in reply to Senator Douglass in 1858116 said, I have always hated slavery. lYe must not forget that as late as the beginning of the Civil lYar the great majority of the northern people even were indifferent to slavery. Most of our early political leaders, if they did not own slaves themselves, raised no objection to others owning them. Tlfe principles of American freedom owe much to Vvashingtong but, as Xlfendell Phillips says, the Great Vir- ginian held slavesf' XYho can think of Lincoln's holding another man in bondage?g to him freedom belonged not to the white man alone but to every man of whatever race or clime-a principle for which our re-united Union stands today. III. HIS FAITH IN THE PEOPLE The men who settled this country came from the lands of Kings and Princes. They were familiar with monarchies and aristocraciesg they knew little of democracy. The govermnent under XYashington was de- cidedly aristocratic-so much so that many feared the establishment of a monarchy. Most political leaders of that day had small faitn in the people. John Adams proposed that- the rich, the well-known, and the able should be set apart from the rest of their fellow citizens in a sen- ate: and Alexander Hamilton expressed his contempt for every day folks when he said, replying to some remark made in his presence: Sir, your people is a great beast. More, perhaps, than any other leader before his day, Lincoln trusted the people and took them into his confidence. Illll IV. HIS FAITH IN THE UNION During the first three quarters of a century under the Constitution, the two chief obstacles to the growth of a national life and character, to the development of a United American Nation-were slavery and State rights. It fell to Lincoln to do the crowning act, which overthrew them both. The South held that the Union was but a league of Sovereign States from which any state might withdraw at will. Not a few in the North held the same viewg and when South Carolina seceded and other States proposed to follow, many Northerners, like Horace Greeley, and President Buchanan, said there was no power to compel a State to rc- main in the Union, that the North should let the erring Sisters depart in peace. Lincoln thought otherwise. He said, the Union is older than the Constitutiongl' and he believed the Constitution was intended to cement the people of all the States into an indissoluble Union. In speaking to the South in his first inaugural address he states his belief and his duty thus: You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve, pro- tect and defend it. Thus when Lincoln came to the front in 1860, the final struggle was o11 which was to determine the destiny and the character of the Ameri- can Rcpublic. It was the finish of the war between slavery and aris- tocracy on the one hand and democracy and individual liberty on the other. VVhen the fight was over the real character of this nation was for the first time established. Its leading principles are these: freedom for every man of whatever raceg the right of every man to make of himself the most possible without regard to rank or wealthg the right of the. people to ruleg the sovereignty of the people as a whole and not of the states as separate, petty republics-a Union which cannot be dissolved. Since Lincoln stood in the very vortex of the confiict which shaped the future of our republicg since more than any other great leader he embodied those principles which today form our national characterg and since for these principles he gave the last full measure of devotion - it seems fitting that a grateful people should call him The First Am- erican. M. F. H121 Dled May 23 1907 Louis Ernest Booman, '09 H131 The Lamar High School, Colorado ENN' pupils are as fortunate as I, to be able to belong to two Senior classes, two grand old High Schools. In truth I am a Senior Htwice removed as the English say of their cousins, The Lamar High School can only boast of twelve in her graduating class. llut then there is luck in few numbersg and besides, we may all be celebrities in disguise. At least I am sure one of the boys will be a celebrity, a second Sullivan for he succeeds in scrapping over the library table every noon. But the promptness with which he extricates him- self from dictionaries and the arms and legs of his opponent when the bell rings truly is remarkable. just now the study-hall is Hooded with .Xnnuals from the different colleges of Colorado. It is the custom for the juniors to make up the annual instead of the Seniors. So as they have not quite reached that awful height of culture and knowledge on which we Seniors are trying to balance ourselves, they need a good many ideas from abroad. The Freshman class is the largest in the school, but does not remain so after the first year as they are such a shallow lot, being easily sounded. The I'rofessors who teach these Senior prodigies are very carefully chosen. Two have already been told to 'tmove on, but I think we have one now that is here to stay. Vvhy? Because he is an athletic rusher. Our football season was a great success and who minds such a little thing as losing the cup. Surely Seniors could be as unselhsh as a man I once heard of, called XYashington Irving who gave up llzcjnys of writ- ing a history of Mexico to his friend. XYell, we all have a more or less unselhsh streak in us, for what Senior would not willingly give up writ- ing a fine, long oration to the best student in his class. Unselfishuessl XYhy, the phantom has no rookery at all when the Rig Green Monster creeps in. It is like 'fThe King is dead, long live the King! with her then. As for instance: during the fall I rode my wheel to school as the distance is quite long. I had grown so used to seeing my Red and Green streamers tied to the handle-bars that it never occurred to me that they now were not especially appropriate. About the third week of school the Principal jollied me on not being very loyal to the Lamar Union High School. Then one day awful vengeance was wreaked upon me. I rode home with my colors not at half mast, but with the mast without the colors, like The man without a country. I114l XYe have not decided just what our graduation exercises will he yet, We will try to have them as original as possihle so they will sound hetter along with the wails of a dozen hahies. The families in the west are so large that at any entertainment the principal feature is the response of the infant nieinhers. Yes, the year of nineteen nine is here. lt is to stay with all the Seniors until their school days are over and their childish days are done. It is with us when we break old ties and go praneing out into the world, and as Tiny rllllll says each 'New Year,' God hless us every one.' XYhang Hang! XYhang' Bang!

For years I have eschewed the Buffalo Bill XX'ild XYest shows, because every Indian that galloped across the plains was a living portrait of what I might have been, and when the robbing of the stage coach came, the pangs of disappointed envy were too keen for endurance. To have been either in, or near, that stage coach were glory enough for one poor life, and to think there was a time when one might have had some gold to be kept-or taken-was so harrowing as a lost possibility that even imagination refused the picture. However, I have not lost hope. After being asked in all seriousness if I remembered when Gen- eral Kossuth was here in the early fifties, I decided that perhaps I did go out with the H4961'Su before attending the Civil XYar, and second child- hood had rendered the trip a little hazy. Incidentally, I have gleaned a few telling facts concerning the forty- niners from that bureau of information and culture known as May's Theater. Inadvertently straying in on one memorable occasion I saw and heard an effort of the masculine persuasion vocally endeavoring to enlighten his audience concerning a few subtle points connected with the gold seekers. Underneath a hilly and undulating pompadour the voice sang the following scientific truths in a mushy falsetto: First. There were no soldiers in forty-nine. Note well that fact,-not even a Ilglfll Separate Company. Second. XN'hen the Indians gave a certain peculiar yell, feelingly depicted in the song, the voice Said, Some one must die, boys. The falsetto did not speak of applying for the position, though it would have been willingly granted, and I could not help wondering if any Cherokee high C of '49 could produce any greater consternation than some nasal appendages of IQOQ. . The mode of travel of the 49ers appealed to me. It was modest, quiet and seemly. No wild honking there to frighten the prairie chickens: no gasoline to suggest dry cleaning, just a simple pair of horses tbony preferredj, mule or oxen, and a Swanson's moving van. These composed the paraphernalia for carrying light housekeeping on the in- stalment planfl The pictures of the forty-niners show all the men fol- lowing the latest Paris fashion in slouch hats, and high water boots, the remaining anatomy clad in an informal shirt and trousers, or an imita- I117I ' tion Indian costume, but every one of these sons of Adam seemed to wear his beard in a sort of valence effect hanging from ear to ear. XYhether this was a protection against sore throat, or the playful toma- hawk of the wily Indian, I do not know, but it rendered the men suf- hciently surprising in appearance to warrant almost any night attackf, A characteristic summing up of many who sought gold at this time is expressed in the language of one gallant failure, who said, lYhen I came to California I was worth nothing, and now I owe two million dollarsf, The panic which caused the loss of innumerable lives and the most hideous suffering, began about 1848. One Captain Sutter owned a gentle sawmill built upon the south fork of the American River, and near this sawmill a laborer discovered the gleam of gold, and then the trouble began. By 1849 Southern California was the rendezvous for Mexicans, South Americans, Sandwich Islanders, Chinamen and New Hollanders. These unselfish creatures, with that cheerful consideration for others which loves to lift some heavy burdens, determined that no American should be overloaded with gold if they could help it. So they arrived early on the scene, and while they dug for treasure, they varied the monotony of labor with tidy little bull-fights and liberal doses of ice cream. XVhile the aliens were thus practicing the Golden Rule the busy representatives of Uncle Sam were coming from all parts of the United States to settle in Northern California, gradually, however, spreading over the whole state. The forty-niners, having secured some two-thirds of their brothers, burden, decided that there was no place like home, and they wanted to go, rather than to engage in a war with the obstinate American who did not appreciate the relief afforded him. During the two years 1848-9, about forty million dollars' worth of gold was collected, and at least one-half of this was neatly removed by the altruistic foreigner. Meanwhile the panic spread over the whole United States. El Doradol' was found at last. The nimble sailor for- sook the briny deep and sought a sea of gold, the tradesman dealt only in cloth of gold, farmers dreamed of sowing golden seed, and laborers ex- pected to hew out streets of gold without waiting for the New jerusa- lem. Everywhere the wild lust for gold, everywhere the mania for get- ting rich quickly. The common place baby gave up his rocker to the rocker used in mining gold, and when Silas out in Corry heard that Ebenezer in California was mining fifty dollars' worth of gold in a day, he became crazy and looked upon the old white horse and the mortgage on the farm as transported to California, jointly, permanently and at once. No mania ever was like this one for gold, and to the forty-niners IIISI who reached their El Dorado the labor to acquire seemed to cast out every other thought. Even the love of gossip was for the time being suspended, and the men digging, digging in complete silence might have been automatons, were it not for tlie fiery, gloating eye which burned brilliantly when the fanatic discovered a nugget. Of course the never failing Indian was always in pleasant evidence, and while the white man hunted gold, the Indian hunted the white man with infinitely greater fortune, the red man's success being usually well marked and clearly defined. XYe also have a dainty poetic record of the presence ofa special papa and his daughter, thus: In a cavern, near a canon, Excavating for a mine, Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, And his daughter Clementinef, The poem, I believe, goes on to relate that the said Clementine ex- changed the cavern for a weeping willow which was doubtless more in the line of Clementine. In a Journal of American History I find the Memoirs of the Gold Seekers of forty-nine which may reasonably be taken as the history of many other 49ers who, however, were seldom so fortunate as Hon, john Evans Brown, writer of these memoirs. I was glad to know the Hon, John, because after his long journey to Cali fornia and the successful obtaining of gold, he tripped off merrily to Australia, and established free schools and compulsory education in the South Pacific Islands. Mr, Brown started across the continent from Asheville, N. C., in the spring, and evidently springs of 49 were just as strenuous as those of the present day, for the first portion of the memoirs deals almost exclusively with that inexhaustible topic the weatherf' ' Mr. Brown went to church once, attended a circus and had a dag- uerreotype taken for his daughter before reaching Jefferson City, Mo., and brief descriptions of various cities along the westward route are given. NYednesday, May 16, the honorable gentleman crossed the line of the United States. Bad roads and recalcitrant mules did all in their power for Mr, Brown, and he also l'ad quite a good time hunting buf- faloes. One emigrant got on fire and was extinguished, and various other accidents rendered each day both lively and uncertain. Next, Mr. Brown was afflicted with a toothache and says it made him feel very miserable, then he had a headache, which compelled him to give up driving and of course this was the psychological momentl' for encount- ering a sandstorm. Mr. Brown's party traveled about eiglitcen miles a day, before the sandstorm impeded such Marconi -like progress. H191 Naturally, with headache, toothache, roads and weather, cholera would feel moved to appear, and large doses of laudanum, ioo drops at a time, were given as a palliative, both cholera and laudanum lighting valorously for the patient. Always in the midst of every other performance the mules would escape and run away, and Mr, Brown says he was com- pletely done out'l chasing them, and had a pain in his chest. Now the gentleman enters Illinois and goes to church again, but he objects to the sermon, because he cannot tell whether the minister is Methodist or Universalist. He says that the minister announced that Adam and tl1e Old Lady -Alas! Mother Eve, did not die a spiritual death when they transgressed, and Mr. Brown thinks the sermon very poor for both the season and the latitude. He says that he has heard two ministers since leaving home, and he has lost confidence in them in exact proportion to his acquaintance with them. I fear the Hon, john was pessimistic. He complains bitterly that the one object of conversation is gold, when he would evidently have enjoyed a religious argument. The trip of Mr. Brown from N. C. to Cal. extended from March I5 to August 18, and marvelous to relate, not an Indian even called on him. I am well aware that it is neither customary nor fitting to talk, and yet say nothing. There are facts concerning the forty-niners which any student, thirsting for gore and information can easily collect. There are accounts of suffering too ghastly for belief. There is the unspeak- able Death's Valley with its gruesome tales, there is the horrible de- generation into cannibalism practiced by some of the emigrants, the terrible trail of blood and bones, the havoc of Indians, and the greed for gold. These are not for me. It is not necessary to return from 1909 to y49 in order to see the darker side of man's slow progress upward. In the language of our old school essays, Let us rememberl' that all these things must needs be in the great Drama of Evolution. S. G. H. IU . .ja K ng, t .eff ,, -5 333? ' i' 'gf' lx fg- IIZUI In ,the Hands of the Law HE train was just pulling out from the station at C-. Two boys entered the smoker and threw down a couple of suit cases. I say, jack, said one of the boys to the other, I wonder if anyone will notice where those labels have been torn off our luggage. Heavens! nog answered the other, we are perfectly safe now, Bob, and there's no use worrying. Well, said jack, we were pretty lucky to get out from M--, ta preparatory school where both boys attendedj without getting pinchedf, Should say as much,', muttered Bob., Pretty hard to jump quar- antine with the whole faculty and the health officers of the state watch- ing youf' You're right, old chap, but we're not safe yet, though welre through with the hardest part which was getting out from M--. NYe couldn't have done it either if that fellow in the auto hadn't helped us out. Bur- lingham was his name, wasn't it? Pretty nice fellow wasn't he P You're right,', answered Bob, but I don't see why he wanted us to carry this small grip for him. XYants us to leave it at the Senate in II- where we change cars. It's rather queer, said Jack, but I'm not going to worry about that. Probably he didn't want to bother with it and thought inasmuch as he helped us to escape we'd be willing to take care of it for him. I sayf' exclaimed Bob, excitedly, but softly, look behind you on the other side of the car and see if that isnlt the same smooth talking fellow who -tried to get into conversation with us and stared so at that grip and all our luggage while we were waiting for the train at C+? By Jove! you're right, responded Jack. Confound him, any- way. Maybe he's after us. XYell, I'm not going back to school anyway. XYe'll stay seven days in the pest house if he does pinch us and then if we don't get sick he's got to let us go. Yes, and we're liable to get the very Dickens for skipping quar- antine, answered Bob. Never mind, don't let's worry, welll go into the smoker. I don't think he's after us. The boys stayed in the smoker until the train reached Hi. just as they were getting ready to get off the train, their inquisitive friend came into the smoker also. Hello, boys! he said, I see you're going to get off here. So'm I. lYhere are you going to eat P Guess we'll go up to the Senatef, answered Bob coolly. XVhy, you don't say, said the stranger, that's where I'm going to stay. You boys come and take lunch with me. One thought flashed through the minds of both boys: he's either mighty nice or mighty smooth and clever. I12lI XVhy, thanksf' answered Jack, Hthatls awful kind of you, but we've some running around to do, so I guess weld better decline this time. They no sooner got off from the train than the stranger seemed to vanish in the crowd. ' I say, Bobf' said jack, Hyou Ougllllllit to've told him' we were going to the Senate. I don't like him for all his smooth and kindly airsf, You're prejudicedfl answered Bob. If he was going to pinch us, he'd have done it long ago. Maybe you're right, but I don't trust him anywayfl rejoined jack. At that instant their conversation was interrupted by a handsome young lady, who touched Jack on the arm and with an ingratiating smile handed him a note, after looking around to see that no one noticed the act. Then she walked off as if nothing had happened. Gee, What a peach! Where did she go? Do you know her? queried Bob excitedly. 'fNever saw her beforef' answered jack, as he hastily tore open the note. f'Hurry up and read it,'l demanded Bob. Q XYell, let's get out of the way of Tom, Dick and Harry, then, XYe'll get dinner here in the station and we'll read it there. They entered the restaurant in the station and read the following in the note: Boys, be careful of any stranger. Don't bring the grip to the Senate. but be on the corner of Third and Main Streets at eight-thirty to-night with it, as I am not going to the Senate and do not wish to have it left there. Your friend of the Auto. XYell, what do you think of that F asked Jack excitedly, Always wanted an adventure and I guess we've run into one now all right. My, but that girl was a fairy. Gee! She was a queen, answered Bob enthusiastically. YVe'll stay and see the thing through, sha'nt weg no two-thirty train for ours ? I knew you were gamef' shouted jack so loud that the other diners looked up in surprise. XN'hy, of course, I'll stick. lim the mucilage kind, said Bob and they solemnly shook hands across the table. Pk PF Pk Pk A Pk bk Pk That night at eight-thirty found them impatiently waiting at the stated corner. Wish he'd hurry up and come, said jack. XYonder what this mysterious business is anyway ? At that moment the Honk! Honk! of an automobile was heard down the street and in another second the car drew up with a sudden jerk to the corner where the boys stood. At that instant the smooth stranger rushed towards the party, demanding them to halt. 'fjump in! cried the man driving the car and before Bob and ,lack really knew what happened, they found themselves flying down the IIZZI street with a mad curse and a revolver shot of the baffled strange in their ears. XN'hat the Dickens! demanded jack as quickly as he was able to regain his breath. Never mind now,', hoarsely shouted Burlingham. That fellow is chasing us with a faster machine and if we don't dodge him he is sure to catch us. Sure enough, upon jack's looking around, he saw the lights of another car speeding towards them in the distance. They rounded a corner so fast that it threw them from their seats and before they were able to regain them took another. Then they literally Hew through a rough alley, burst into another street and in another instant were flying up a broad avenue. 'l'hink I've lost l1i1n now, shouted Burlingham to the boys, But just as he uttered these words, the other car bounded around the corner and was fast gaining on them. Nearer and nearer approached the other car. It was slowly but surely diminishing the distance between them. Hold that satchel tight and when I stop, jump out and run any- where, only do not let those fellows catch you, yelled Burlingham. 4 At that moment the car with a tremendous,bound and jerk came to a stop, throwing the boys from their seats. They dashed from the car only to run into the hands of an officer of the law. Not so fast, 1ny young friendsf' said the policeman. Will you come along peacefully or shall I have to handcuff you? he growled, as jack tried to throw off the tight grip. XYe'll go peacefully enough,'l grumbled Jack, only I hate to think of going back to school. School! laughed tl1e smooth talking stranger, who had by this time alighted from his machine. So you've been in the reform school, have you? XYell, you'll probably have a nice cosy cell this time for a few years to comef' w Reform school! Cosy cell! Say, what do you think we are P gasped Jack. A Shut up! and come along, growled the policeman. Leave it to McDough to capture crooks everytime and with the goods on, too. Jack turned to where Burlingham, fwho had in the meantime also been caughtj, was sullenly regarding them between two policemen. XYhat are we pinched for anyway? Bob finally managed to say to Burlingham. Is it for speeding or for jumping quarantine P Hurlingham looked at the boys and then at the officers. XYell, jeered one of their captors, people do not often carry around a satchel of counterfeit bank notes and try to escape the law in the company of this notorious criminal without knowing what they're nabbed for when they are nabbed. Counterfeitersl'l blazed jack. XYhy, I never saw that man until last nightgu and Jack told his story to his captors, as they were riding toward the jail. ' ll23l The boys are on the square, said Burlingham. They didn't know a thing about it, until just now. Well, said McDough, the smooth stranger who was somewhat im- pressed by their story, you don't look like a couple of crooks and you can tell your story to the judgef, The rest of the journey was passed in silence. f'Can't we see the judge now?', meekly asked jack, as the patrol drew up to the curb near a large stone structure and they were being led into the building. XfVl1y, he'll probably be too busyf' answered the officer. But we haven't done anything and we can't stay 'here all night. Telegraph my father or the head master at school, only please let us go, pleaded Bob. 'WVell, I'll see what I can do, consented McDough. In the mean- time I'll have to lock you up. As the boys sat alone in tl1e ill-smelling, dimly-lighted and uncom- fortable cell with only a poor straw mattress for its furnishing, they were filled with misgivings and homesickness. Breaking the regulations of school and state didn't seem so much of a joke now and being in an ad- venture wasn't nearly so funny as reading about one. It seemed to them that they had been there for ages when they heard some one coming down the corridor. The door was unlocked by one whom they recog- nized as one of their captors. The judge will see you now, he said, and conducted them before the solemn magistrate of the law. The boys told their story with eager- ness but with quaking hearts, XVell, boys, said the judge sternly when they were through, I think you are innocent of counterfeiting but you have broken a state law by jumping quarantine. I will let you go this time boys, but in the future you'd better beware of strangers. Don't be so impulsive and see that you obey the law, for another time you won't get off so easy. Now, what time does your train go?,' I suppose you mean for school P said jack rather sadly. No,,' said the judge, with a twinkle in his eyeg school has been dis- missed for a while, probably two weeks, so I guess I won't send you back. A 'fThat's hue of you and we thank you very much and we'll never jump quarantine againfl almost shouted the two boys in one breath. '4YVell it's about dinner time, Your train doesn't go till 8 P, M. you said. You boys better come home with me to dinner and relate your experience to my wife. And so the boys, once more free and happy, stepped from the jail which they had so recently entered with sinking spirits, and in company with the warm friend which they had made in the judge, hailed a passing trolley and vanished to the Judge's residence.

As a general rule the campaigns of the various candidates make hardly a ripple in the even tenor of school life, or if they do, they are swallowed up in the nmch more important current athletic events, or even the monthly standings. But this time it was different, not because the campaign itself was more important perhaps but because the students themselves participated, after a fashion, in it. One morning Mr. Fletcher wished to know how many would li-ke to have a campaign all their own, modeled after the regular general elec- tion. Much enthusiasm was manifested at once, and a picture of Mr. Bryan tacked to the door was received with a storm of cheers and hisses, but perhaps the most of them were provoked not from any pronunced predilection or animosity for that gentleman, but just to create a diver- sion, or in other words, just to make that noise in any form so dearly beloved by the average school boy. Thus assured of interest, active campaigning began at once. The Republican element held a large and enthusiastic caucus and entrusted their affairs to that capable politician, Floyd Hayes. A little later the Democrats likewise confided theirs to XN'illiam XYright. Although woman suffrage is not a plank in the Prohibition platform, Miss Madge Meade was elected as their autocrat. :Xt the last, doubtfully and hesi- tatingly, for they were not sure of themselves, the Socialists made Floyd Uushey their manager. Then followed a week of active canvassing. The managers ap- pointed assistants and every one was buttonholed and their politics made a matter of concern. The most of the students, to their credit honored their fathers to the extent of thinking the same way politically, that is, if they did any thinking at all. The unprejudiced observer might have no- ticed the siinilitude between them and a flock of sheep. One student was a Prohibitionist in the morning, a Democrat at noon and a Republi- can at night, as pressure was brought to bear by different friends. Be that as it may, however, when the two days set aside for registra- tion came around, the various managers with their assistants hastened to get their friends to register in the states which they hoped to carry. Ac- cording tothe plan, the thirteen original states were represented, each by a class-room, and the nmnber allowed to register in each varied accord- ' l126QI ing to the 11u1nber of electors each was allowed in the electoral college. New York which has thirty-nine electors, was allowed one hundred and forty-six voters and so on. The managers hoped to register a majority in each state so that when the election was held, that state would Ngo' according to the majority. As a realistic touch a stump speaker from each party was allowed tive minutes before each study-hall in which to attempt to convince the audience of the saintliness of tlzeir candidates character, and the vileness of their apponent'sg the soundness of their principle as opposed to their opponent'sg and finally what they l1ad done or would do for the country. Then ca1ne the final test after the nerve-racking suspense. The vote was duly counted and then amid the comments of an interested, but unsympathetic audience, the linal result was announced, Virginia, Georgia and North and South Carolina as usual went Democratic. New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire lived up to their name and stuck to their Republican masters. Rhode Island, Maryland and New Jersey, no doubt to their surprise went solid- ly Prohibition and most astounding of all, Delaware undoubtedly the first time in its history, declared itself Socialistic by a twelve-thirteenth plurality. XYith the Republicans in an overwhelming majority ended this mem- orable campaign, and though perhaps it interrupted school work some- what, it had an educational value of its own, not to be overlooked, and it certainly added to the interest manifested in school life for a time. . 5 l Alleg retio. kgg..

H341 The Senior Recitation OHNNY was a brilliant student but Johnny was no oratorg and when the powers that ben at Blank High School announced that here- after all upper class students would be required to give at least one recitation before the assembled student body, johnny was greatly agi- tated. As was hinted before, Johnny was a very smart but shy youth. NYhen he was obliged to recite in classes, he got up in fear and trembling, and although he could doubtless have recited that lesson to an empty class room in such a manner as to make you sit up and take notice, he often made fearful blunders: and answers to questions which he knew per- fectly, stuck to his fear paralyzed tongueg so it was not surprising that johnny was two years behind his class. But johnny resolved not to be daunted by a mere senior recitation, for after all, he considered, men have faced worse things than senior speeches. So he chose The Star-Spangled Rainier as the thing best suited to his efforts. Besides he knew it already to a certain degree of proficiency and in addition he calculated upon throwing himself into the spirit of the piece and so in a measure be less self-conscious. johnny proceeded to polish up on the piece by reading it to his thirteen year old sister until nickels and candy lured her to hear him no longer. Then he began on the other members of the family and con- tinued until even the cat would run at sight of him. Then, and not un- til then, did johnny consider himself sufficiently prepared. He then asked the Principal to announce his name among a number of others who were ready to undergo the ordeal about the same time. The date agreed upon was Friday morning of the coming week. Johnny secretly wished that it had been the next morning then he would have been spared the haunting thoughts of possible failure. Eventually the night before the awful day arrived, Johnny went to bed hoping that he might awake next morning disabled with the tooth- ache or any old ache, it didn't matter much what just so as to afford him sufficient excuse for staying out of school, but no such luck smiled at him. He arose with the sun and adorned himself in his best clothes, tak- ing care that every detail was arranged to his satisfaction. He went to school about an hour earlier than usual feeling much like a condemned prisoner, led forth to the scaffold. H351 Announcement Extraordinary JOHN M.

Y, H361 After the customary morning exercises the Principal arose to an- nounce the speaker. Johnny fervently prayed that his name might come first, thus sparing him much fearful suspense. But no such fortune fa- vored him as his name was destined to be tl1e last on the list. Some of his fellow students had evidently got wind of his intended oratorical attempt and taking advantage of his pre-occupied mind, in a spirit of mischief, fastened a small Hag on the back of the coat of the would-be Demosthenes. At length, after all the rest of the students had given their orations more or less successfully during which interval Johnny passed through all the miseries of the condemned lest he forget his speech at the critical moment, the principal announced that john Smith would speak the Star-Spangled Banner. Johnny arose from his seat amidst a torrent of applause which tended to increase his confusion, and quaking visibly, he started for the platform, stumbling and stepping over feet thrust out to impede his progress. He reached the platform without accident but very red of face, made his preliminary bow, which consisted of a hasty bobbing of his head and, amidst a deathly silence, started off in a weak, trembling voice with the familiar line, Oh say, can you see--U Here he paused uncertainly, overpowered by embarassment. Making a fran- tic clutch at his collar which suddenly seemed to be choking him, he dis- lodged the miniature 'tStar-Spangled Banner, which had been fastened to his back. It lluttered to the floor amidst a chorus of giggles and laughter from the delighted students. Johnny regarded it a moment awe-stricken. Then casting one reproachful look at the students, he beat a hasty retreat for the door which led to liberty. T CLYDE Roor. Flings and Stings The juniors Hang sorrow!

The president of one class, as you could all see, NVas a boy who was very handsome to the e'e. This boy was also an excellent speaker And when Olean came up he helped to defeat her. The secretary of this very same class Was a pretty and thrifty little lass. Her favorite adjective was cute, so cute. And she adores a speaker of great repute, Her hair hung down her back in a curl, And he thought she was a most noble girl. On several occasions they have been seen together: Once to a class party in truly windy weather. On another occasion fthe Olean Debatej He took her home before it was late. , l ho e this nonsense will make no one sore P And hoping that, I will write no more. The Demerit System The demerit system of J. H. S. Has brought unto many a pupil distress. When you get your twenty, you have to gog No matter if you promise to do just so. When once you get started on your string You cannot stop the blooming thingy They pile right up so very fast You've no more started than you've reached the last Then home you go, for being bad And the teachers may think that you feel sadg But if the sun is shining bright And you get out of the scrape all right You have more fun the time you're out Than a barrel of monkeys trying to shoutg But when back to school you have to go, You have to promise to do just soy And if you break your promise, dearg You have to suffer quite severeg And if you should get just ten more Then home you go for evermore.

Question-in American History: Describe in detail how a president is elected: Answer-In order to become a president a man must run against another party. If he is a Republican, he must run against a Democratic candidate, and if he is himself a Democrat, he must run against a Repub- lican candidate. A man who wants to become a candidate must first be either a member of the government or else be voted in by Congress. Next he must canvas thro' the country and make speeches and have bills printed to advertise the coming election. Then on the first Tuesday in November when election comes all thro' the United States every citizen must vote, Then whichever candidate has the most votes is elected for at least four years unless death occurs and sometimes eight years. Then he must take his oath of office sometime in the early year preceding his election. ' 2. Question-In Physiology. XYhat precaution should be taken to secure a pure supply of drinking water?

NYashington wintered, at Valley Forge, The men were starving and so was George. The poor men were hungry and very cold Although their hearts remained quite bold: They shot the Red Coats day by day And for this they got some meager pay. But though they suffered in this iight They kept their pluck from morn to night. Their guns were rusty and would hardly shoot The poor men hadn't a single boot. Finally the men began to rebel But George he blowed those fellows wellg lie did it in the nick of time And so I write this little rhyme.

Wlith life's new quiver full of wingetl arrows they shoot at a venture. imliffercnt to the whirling of this slippery globe of life. which is hastening their youth away into the clark. The years they waste are the lwest in their lives. They are the years in which founflation shoulcl he laicl for their tinancial future. lnsteatl of heetllessly intlulging in the supertluities of life, in which there is neither solace nor real satisfaction, they should fellow the advice of Dr. Samuel Johnson and make the first years of life pro- vide for the last. A Policy in the MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE CO. of Newark, N. J. Will Curb The Habit of Expense. lt is the rational way to invest money. The men who hought life insurance in their early clays in this sterling company are the ones who recommenrl it most highly to their sons anfl the generations which succeeil them. Parents can give their chilclren no more practical Wedding, birthday or Christmas present than a life insurance policy in the Mutual Benefit, which has lately QIOOQJ heen rlescrihetl as 'tthe only .Xmerican company in which a father. son and grandson, each holtling policies. have toclay the same rights ancl privileges. The true signilicance of this statement will hartlly he unclerstoorl without con- sulting The Mutual Benefit agent. Under the unique Accelerative Endowment plan of The Mutual Benefit life pclicies may be converted into Endowments. While Endowments are but time locks on a company's treasury, set to open in ro or I5 or zo years, or later, the skeleton key of death, defying time, may open the vault at any time. The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., has been serving the people 64 years. ancl is a purely mutual, legal reserve company, administered in the interests of its policyholclers. No stockholders to share in the profits and in- crease the cost of insurance. ITS RECORD FROM ORGANIZATION, 1845, TO JAN. 1, 1909 Received in Premiums .....

TREADWAY, District Agent 116 E. 4th St., Jamestown, N. Y. 9 TELEPHONES: HOME 301: BELL 352 l1741 The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company OF NEWARK, N. J. XYe are fond of ascrihing to this generation greater wisdom than was possessed by our fathers. Are we justified in this? Read the fol- lowing words uttered 45 and 50 and Go years ago. XYho will question the wisdom thereof today? The men who gave voice to these sentiments are honored today above their fellows, one is still in the service. From The Mutual Benefit's Annual Report of 1849. A gentleman in the City of New York, being impressed with the importance of Life Insurance, has recently taken out a policy in this Uompany for 35,000 on the life of his son, a lad of 14 years of age. He purposes to pay the small annual premium of 576.50 in cash, and allow the profits to accumulate for a series of years. On his son's marriage he will assign the property to his son's wife- the annual interest on the profits can then be used in part payment of the premium. No young man should marry until he has obtained insurance on his life in favor of her who is to be his wife. But seldom is this done. At that period df life death appears distant, and attention is not drawn to the subject until he has a young family about him. I-Ie then begins to reflect upon the sub- ject: and upon application it may prove that he already has the seeds of disease in his system, and cannot obtain a policy, or the increased rate of premium may render it in- convenient. How much better it is, then, to insure early in life, when it requires but a small annual payment. ' ' ' THIS VIEW' OF THE IMORTANCE OF LIFE INSUR- ANCE SHOULD CLAIM THE ATTENTION OF ALL PARENTS WHO HAVE THE ABILITY TO INSIIRE THEIR CHILDREN AT AN EARLY AGE, as it may be the means of providing for their grandchildren a. comfortable subsistence, instead of the children becoming a burden to THEM in the decline of life, when they, perhaps, have met with reverses, and then be rendered un- able to make provision for their support. From Massachusetts State Insurance Report 1859. To the young man whose income is some- what more than adequate to the unavoidable current expenses of a family, the life insur- ance company says: 'If nature bids you marry, and only poverty 'forbids, obey na- ture, and we will take care of poverty. Do it now, in your prime, and let the next gen- eration inherit from you all the strength and genius which the best conditions will allow! The Savings Bank, says: 'No, my friend, the voice of nature is premature and imprudent. You had better wait a few years-half a dozen at least! So say all the other means and institutions for the accumulation of cap- ital, and consequently leave the general hap- piness, not to speak of the good order and good morals of society, generally in the lurch. Life Insurance possesses exclusively the power of creating at onee an adequate provision against the destitution of depend- ents in case of death. From Prospectus of The Mutual Benefit Life January l, 1864. ll. THE Ml l'II.Xl, l'liINt'lltAl.. This hardly needs the aid of argument at the present day. But there is one aspect otf this principle, as applied to Life Insurance, which does not seem to have been much dis- cussed-its HENEVOLENT character. Its superior justice has often been fully exhib- ited. The reasoning in favor of its justice is this: if any money is to be made by the ooeration of life insurance, it is but just that THEY should make it who contribute it. In other words, if the insured contribute more than is needed for insuring their lives, THEY ought to have the surplus. Be careful in seeking a company in which to insure your life, to select one that is economically and equitably managed from force of habit, Such is THE MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEWARK N J., organized in 1845, Purely mutual. No 1 stockholders to share in the profits, and thus increase the K . cost of insurance. F. S.
