His feet were far apart, his hat on the back of his head in a position which destroyed his dig- nity, and a streak of dirt across his forehead contradicted the extreme seri- ousness of his face. Suddenly, another apple grazed the uncertain hat and it fell to the ground just in time to escape the back-flying hand of Billy, who turned slowly around, looked at the apple, at the hat, and then up into the branches of the apple-tree. Say, he drawled, 'd you throw that apple? Uh-huh. Why? came from the tree. It just knocked my hat off, that's all. Say, where do you live? Never saw you before. Didn't you? Oh, Johnny, Tommief-what's your name ?-Billy? YX'ell. Billy, get out there a little farther, won't you? l can't hit you good where you are now and I've got the greenest green apple here. Please- 'WVhat's your name? Billy had stationed himself at the foot of the tree. 'WVhat's the diff'rence? Guess l'll come down and see if you're any fun, and by the time Billy had decided to lower his eyes from the heights, he discovered someone was standing beside him. That someones hair was flyinggcherry stains covered the front of her waist, while a tear in her skirt and a long scratch on her arm helped to give Billy the impression, as he confided to his mother later, that she didn't look very girly. Well, you know what you can do if you don't like it. lVant to look at the back of it? and the girl swung around on one foot. Say, your face's dirty. Billy announced. So's yours, she cheerfully said, as her hand flew to her nose, on whose tip a streak of mud peacefully rested. And you got a lot of stuff on your waist. i'Say, William, do you think it would make any difference to me if you said I had stuff all over rr.e and my face was black? So, now, just stop lookin' at me and tell me whats your name. William Timothy Grey, Billy was standing with his hands pushed in his pockets and his eyes fixed on her face, whats yours? Peggy Little. Do you live in the house on the hill P Ye-eh. Say, did you get your name turned around? A frown marred the peacefulness of Billy's face. No, lSilly. l guess l'll call you Billy-Silly. But, come on, let's get on the top of that shed over there. You can reach the cherries dandy from there. She bounded away and was scrambling up the ladder, while Billy was sauntering over to her. Springing on the roof, she managed to get across it G by hanging to the ridge, seated herself when she had reached a place which suited her, and pulling down a near-by branch, began munching on cherries. Hurry up, Billy-billy! she called, with her mouth full, or you won't get any. Evidently, this made an impression on Billy, who was reasonably active when girls were not around to bother him, for his head appeared above the roof and he too crossed the dangerous road to the cherries. Sit down 'n have one, Peggy Little said cordially, Let's play I'm a princess and I've invited you to dinner and play you're a poor little beggar- boy. But I wont let you eat anything and I turn everything into stones so that you have to leave all the things to me. Come on, 'nd maybe I'll give you a cherry made of gold once in a while. Uh-uhfdon't like to play those silly games. Say, make any diff'rence if I called you Little Peggy, 'cause you are awfully little, you know, and Billy condescended to glance disdainfully at her. I'm not little, Peggy declared, trying to stamp her foot on the roof, I'm seven. I 'spose a girl thinks that's old, but then, girls aren't s'pposed to be as old as boys. I'm ten. Billy complacently viewed the horizon. Look out there, Silly, you're going to fall off. Billy frantically clutched the roof, but he went sliding and bumping off to the ground, where he sat looking dolefully at himself. Say, Billy, pancakes are ready! Wake up! He looked up and saw Peggy, her eyes twinkling, beside him. 'Smatter? Did you fall down too? he asked with a sympathetic look up at her. HardlyfI'm only seven, with which she turned and ran off across the yard. Peggy-oh, Peggy-Peggy Little, Billy called, jumping to his feet. Wl1at d' you want? came back, as she hesitated in the middle of the road, can't you get up? VVhere you goin'? Come on back and play-Princess. Sadly, Billy kicked the ground. Nope-can't bother now. Got to go home. And she sped across the street into a little white house. Oh-plague it! I hate girls. They'll never play any fun or any- thing. VVilliam Timothy, with his face a miniature thunder-cloud, crammed his hands in his pockets, and went up the driveway to the porch, where his mother sat, sewing. VVhat's the matter, Billy-boy? she asked. Oh, nothin'. Billy threw himself down on the steps, took off his cap and wiped his forehead on his sleeve. His mother sat still and waited, watching him under lowered eyelids. He was a straight, chubby little fellow, with brown eyes that showed the seriousness of his nature. Theres somebody moved in 'cross the road, mother, he at last said, kind of a funny girl, but I had some fun with her. She'll be nice for you to play with, maybe. You'll like her better after a while. 'fOh, she's all right for a girl. I like her, only-she just ran off and wouldn't play, and Billy frowned worse than before. Never mind, son, she'll play tomorrow. Better mn, get ready for supper. Strawberry Shortcake. Oh, gee! Forgetting all about girls, he jumped up, raced in the house and up the stairs. As usual, his mother's words came true, and the next day Peggy played with Billy. All the morning they ran and climbed: but in the afternoon, her highness appeared in a clean frock, with her hair combed, and informed Billy that she couldn't play any more that day. So Billy went home to play with the dog, with Peggy across the way watching him. She sat still as long as she could, then dashed across the street, in the gate, and, with her hair flying, was soon chasing the dog. Consequently, when she ap- peared home for supper, she looked as if the day had been turned around to eleven o'clock in the morning. Every day strengthened the friendship and as the years passed, even Billy way was not ashamed to call a girl his best chum. He even played dolls with her, doctored her in a long coat and spectacles, allowed her to scold him into playing singing-school, and every year marched across the road with a wondrous Christmas present. He bore the stitches better, when he cut a great gash in his cheek, because he knew Peggy sat out on the steps. He told her all his troubles at school, and came after every fight, for he always settled disputes with his fist, to explain all the facts. In fact, Little Peggy was a Ubrick. But at last, Billy of course went away to college. He went without a thought of the separation from his mother and the old house, forgetting Peggy, and full of eagerness at the new lifeg while Peggy was left, with a new old-life, to find a friend in a girl, for she was now too old to play with the boys, as her mother said. Jupiter, Grey's old dog, lay in the shade outside the gate in front of the old home. It was a hot day in June, the flies bothered him, and altogether, life seemed rather hard. There was one disagreeable fly, who seemed to consider system the controlling principle of the world, for he stationed him- self on the tip of -lup's nose, then on his ear, on his nose, and finally be- tween his eyes, repeating the whole performance as often as jup got up and shook himself. But he had scarcely laid down the last time, before he was up, with his ears pricked, and was looking down the road at a man who, he thought, had whistled Billy's old call. Then he was off with a bound, racing down the road to the man, whom he nearly knocked over, but who seemed as glad to see jupitor as the dog was to see him. Well, jup, old man, how are you? Shake hands! Getting pretty kittenish in your old age, aren't you? Down, Jup, that's enough! Down, I say! How are the folks? Alive and kicking? Jupiter walked along by Billy's side, glancing up at him and wrinkling his mouth in a dog-smile, which caused Billy to playfully hit him and call him an old fool dog. Although half ashamed to show it, he was glad to get home, and as he reached the gate. he ran up the walk, calling to Jupiter to follow him. Mrs. Grey, waiting at the top of the steps, harmonized with the peace and quiet, as she waited for Billy to run into her arms. It was good to get the big boy home again after such a long, lonely time! You're most as glad to see me as jup was, aren't you, mother? Billy said. Glad! My, Billy! she smiled at him and then took hold of his arm, Come, boy, dinner's all ready and I made some strawberry shortcake on purpose. Do you remember how you used to like it? Rememberl Should think I did. Haven't had a good one in a year. Come on, Jup, you get the crumbs, That evening, after every bit of shortcake had disappeared, Billy and his mother sat on the porch. l'Seems funny not to have Peggy Little racinv around doesn't it? Billy said. Did you know she had grown into a lovely girl? Mrs. Grey was sit- ting on the steps beside him, with her hand through his arm. Why, yes. She always was. Billy looked at the little white house across the way. L'She was a good, true youngster. Yes, but do you think she was ever very pretty? 'L N-no. But I never stopped to think of that theng she was such a game little rooster, and Billy smiled, as he remembered his little ten-year-old brother Billy-Silly. But now, she's one of the sweetest girls I ever knew and almost fascinat- ing. She was here a short time ago, and I have seldom seen such sweet dignity combined with so much sense. Dear old Pegrick! I'd like to see her. Four years they've been gone, havent they? Yes Four years which have wrought wonders. For a long time, Billy sat silent, looking out into the night, and building -who knows how many castles? But at last, his thoughts wandered home. ' By the way, mother, I have an invitation to spend a couple of weeks down in Kentucky, hunting. One of the fellows at college lives down there on a great big old homestead and he asked me down. 'L Not right away, will you, son? Jupiter-would be so lonesome. Billy laughed. Poor old mother! No, I won't go until next month. That all right? Yes Such a selfish mother! She half laughed at him. L' But come, Billy-boy, its' time to go in and lock up, I guess. CJD. D I Peggy Little on horseback was Peggy Little at her best, to the world and to herself. As she came to the stretch of old Kentucky road that she had always loved, she dropped her reins and lifted her head to take a deep, deep breath. It was a narrow, promising little road that curved out of sight just in time to hide the hot, treeless way beyond. Bushes grew close up to the sides while the trees met overhead in an arch, that protected everything with such cool greenness. Peggy always walked Dan through hereg then, as they reached the end, they would swing around and gallop back, with the wind whistling past them. ' As Dan had not been out of the stable for a few days, he was full of spirits today. As they started on their run, he stretched out his body until his belly was scarcely three feet from the ground, and raced down the road, so that Peggy said she hardly knew she was moving, his motion was so easy and waving. Peggy, with her hair blowing and her eyes sparkling, was holding tight on the reins, when a man ran from the side of the road and caught hold of the bridle. Dan reared and pulled him off his feet, but the man hung on the bit with all his strength, until the horses head came down and Peggy suc- ceeded in soothing him. She then turned to the man, for she had been frightened only for a moment, until she had noticed he was a respectable looking individual. VVell, she was inspecting him from head to foot, 'lwhat do yougwill you please tell me what made you do that? VVhyYwasn't-why, I thought your horse was running away. He fell back to the side of the road, his jaw dropped and his face filled with incredulity, Running away! Peggy smiled. No, we were running away from nothing except the end of Dans tail. lVhy-I say-I beg your pardonYI'rn awfully sorry, I saw you tear- ing down the road and you seemed to be having a hard time holding those reins. So I thought I'd play gallant knight and as usual gained a few extra bells for my cap. Fool! His voice had sunk lower and lower until the last was under his breath. He frowned at the ground. I-I beg your pardon-but is your name not Grey? Peggy was leaning over in the saddle, looking steadily at Billy. Why, yes! L' Billy-Silly ? What! Billy jumped and stared at her. Are you-Peggy Little? Yes. Little Peggy! Do you remember? she laughed. Do I? But you-Peggy Little! Mother told me about you, but-I didn't- Yes. But isn't it funny we should meet way down here in Kentucky. After four long years. She burst out laughing. Why, Billy, whats the matter? Isn't my hat on straight or is there a streak of dirt on my nose again? ' Billy flushed and dropped his eyes. May I walk along by your horse? It'll prevent further impudencef' May he, Dan? She leaned over and whispered. in his ear. Dan says you may, if you'll keep your eyes to the front and obey orders. Tell us about the past four years! She smiled as Billy obeyed the first injunction, but hesitated on the last. Finally, he frowned and plunged into his story. which lasted the whole space of thirty seconds. But thirty seconds were long enough for Peggy to measure him from sole to soul, and at last rest ,her eyes, warm with satis- tion, upon his face. So they made their way along the road, and up the hill, were silhouetted against the glowing western sky, then dropped over the crest into the whirl of fairy-land and romance.

The reception began at 7:30, the committee and faculty receiving. Shadow pictures given by some of the Seniors added greatly to the interest of the evening.

Mr. and Mrs. Sterling and Mr. and Mrs. Sloan chaperoned the company. Owing to the absence of so many of the teachers from town, only Miss WYhite and Miss YYilbur were present. Promptly at nine the dancing was opened by the grand march led by Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, after which it continued until two. For those who did not dance, games were provided and be- tween the dances, punch and wafers were served, varied by marsh mal- lows, roasted at the fire place.

About twenty couples were present and enjoyed dancing to excellent music furnished by Bakers orchestra, until two o'clock. Luncheon was served between the hours of eleven and twelve. The party was one of the most delightful of the season. Cut J. X On the evening of March 17, '05, the 14th annual J. X. of the L. H. S. was given by the class of 'o6 at Baird's Opera House.

It depends upon the fact that a freely suspended body when made to occillate will, in the absence of any disturbing force, continue to perform its occillations in one plane. The experiment was performed in the dome ot the Capitol. A heavy weight was suspended from a bolt placed between two large beams at the top bv means of an iron wire reaching to the hrst tloor. Fastened to the bottom ot the weight was a tine wire which marked the course of the mo- tion over a smoked cardboard placed two inches below the weight. The pendulum was set swinging at 2:30 P. M. and was started due east and west and when stopped at II :go was swinging due north and south. At the north pile the plane ot rotation appears to turn through a complete circle in 24 hours. and in a latitude 420 4Lansingl it requires 35 hours 22 minutes tu complete a revolution. By experiment it was found to be about go hours. The value of gravity as found bv calculation, 9816. Results .., . ll eiglt ol llllll-'YIOS lbs, Length of suspending wireff-157 ft. 3 in.

That Lansing in the future, will undoubtedly have a 110-tt' High School is probably true. Monday night, it was rumored about that one of Lansing's public spirited men had offered 825,000 if the city would raise S75,00 for a new High School. This, however, proved to be a false statement and it was found that the gentleman had offered S50,000 instead. So great was the interest aroused that tive other leading citizens offered 310,000 apiece making a total of 55i00,000. The inefhciency of the present building to exclude the hoodlums, ap- parently shows a need of a better and stronger building. The committee having the matter in charge expect to have S50o.000 pledged by Monday and Lansing will have one of the finest High Schools in the world. It might be well for the new building to be fully equipped with a burglar alarm system so that some of the midnight proulers around the school would be trapped. It might be well for the janitor to make the building his home and remain there during the nights, so when the alarm went off he could take possession of the intruders. It is sincerely hoped that the amount will be raised and let every one help by contributing what they can. Subscriptions can be left anywhere without signing. .

Board of Education Finale - - ----- Orchestra President's Address Civil Service Reform Judging from the existing conditions of municipal, state and national political administrations as well as those received by our citizens from other large corporations, how long will our country be able to hold its position among world powers? Perhaps someone will ask the reason for this question or will enquire whether we do not have good men in our government today. Surely we do have some men in our government that are as great in their line as the world ever produced and who are of as much importance to our government as any who may have gone before them. We also have others who are not so good. lVhere do the poor men come from? In order that we may understand this matter more fully let us review some of our previous history. The election of jefferson to the presidency in 1801 resulted in a political revolution. For the preceding twelve years the same party had been in power so there had been no reason for a change of oiiicials. but as Jefferson was elected by a new party he felt it his duty to give his followers a hand in the government also. Accordingly he created about forty vacancies that he might put in his own constituents, and as further vacancies oc- curred they were iilled with men who were honest. capable and faithful to the constitution. As this party continued in power for the next forty years there was practically no need for a change of subordinate otiicials for party reasons. Although there were some changes made they were due rather to the ineiiiciency of the employees, with the exception of those made in Jacksons administration. VVhen Jackson came to ofhce he was fully determined to make a great change in the oliicial and clerical departments of the government but his reasons were entirely personal. ln the election of 1824 he considered that Adams was made president over him by a party plot which was against the will of the people at large. His defeat however produced so much feeling both public and personal that he was elected in 1828 by a large majority over his former opponent. Wlfhen once within the government the real character of the man was fully demonstrated. The changing of a few subordinates, that had worked fairly well in jeirtersons administra- tion was a failure in Jacksons because of the excess to which it was carried, owing to the passionate, unprincipled, revengeful nature of the administra- tor. To demonstrate this we find that in an expedition against the Semi- nole lndians Jackson not only quelled the uprising, but because he be- lieved that Spanish officers in a neighboring post instigated the plot, he seized the post, which act had been strictly forbidden by the government, and later arrested, tried, and hanged two English traders, who, he thought, were implicated in the same affair. The latter act caused some feeling between the United States and great Britain. At another time in opposi- tion to Congress he withdrew the government deposits from the National Bank on his own responsibility and ordered all accruing funds to be de- posited in State Banks, which act was not only unconstitutional but was a strong factor in producing the financial panic of 1837. Acting on this same principle he displaced within a year two thousand office holders for the sake of putting in friends and men who would further his plans and carry out his projects. By so doing he began one of the great national evils, namely, the idea that your friends and followers must be given a place in the government whether they are fit to hold it or not. This custom, Madison said, could not fail to degrade any administration. Following Jackson we have a series of alternations, first a Democratic and then a VVhig administration, each alternation causing an entire change of officials. This custom of official rotation during this series became so fixed that later when party administration became longer again, the cus- tom still prevailed and minor officials were changed every four years re- gardless of party or qualihcations. Great dissatisfaction prevailed. In speaking of this Lincoln said, I wish I could get time to attend to the Southern question, I think I know what is wanted but the office seekers demand all my time. During this time Grant recommended a reform in the civil service of the country. The present system, he said, does not secure the best men and often not even fit men for public place. Then the leadership of George VV. Curtis, laws were enacted during Lin- coln's administration but failed in accomplishing their purpose and matters grew continually worse. President Hayes pledged himself to thorough reform in the civil service. He was a man who meant every word he said but although both of the political parties urged it in their platforms nothing practical was done. The murder of- President Garfield gave an unmistakable emphasis to the demand for civil service reform. Later Senator Pendleton of Ohio in- troduced a bill to give all citizens, duly qualihed, equal opportunities to secure employment in the civil service of the United States. The bill re- ceived the hearty support of both political parties and was promptly passed January 16, 1883. The new system of filling minor government offices was put in operation at VVashington and was gradually extended to all customhouses and postofiices having upwards of fifty clerks. It was the beginning of the end of the spoil system. The system provided by law consists of a perfectly simple form of com- petitive examination under which any man, whatever his race or religicn or politics may be, can apply for examination and be placed upon a wait- ing list according to his success in meeting the various, simple, and practi- cal tests imposed upon him. These tests are physical if the position re- quires physical strength, mental for those requiring mental processes, and in all respects, as simple and practical as years of experience can make them. The examination is completed by testing the applicant in the practical Work of the place for six months. A This new system is already working successfully in the minor govern- ment oflices and the aim of the present reformers is to extend the examina- tion system into the higher offices. The question may arise, how can a man be examined as to his executive ability? This is done by starting him in a minor office with the prospect of promotion according to the abil- ity he manifests. Xiiashington, the father of his country said, ln every nomination to ofiice I have endeavored to make fitness of character my primary object. Cleveland said, The continued operation of the law relating to our civil service has added the most convincing proofs of its necessity and usefulness. Roosevelt says, The law has immensely benefited every ofiice to which it has been applied. To these testimonies add the maxim, Practice makes perfect. XYe are easily convinced of the fact that the man who stood behind his gun faithfully through four years of civil war with all its dangers, possibilities. training and hardships is a braver soldier and one who will be truer and more valuable to the United States than any who may go on the last draft or even for a longer enlistment but who is constantly looking for promotion. Are we not then reasonable when we say that ive receive better service from the man who is conscientious and thoroughly qualified for office and who remains in office a longer time than it requires to become ac- customed to the duties connected with it than from the transient who is seeking only wealth and notoriety at the expense of his country and her citizens? Then with the future welfare of our country at stake is it asking to much of her citizens to demand their united efforts in making the civil service reform an immediate and permanent success? HAL J.

I xx - 4 AY The Kindergarten and Its Worth All over the land thousands are inquiring what the kindergarten is and what are the great things it promises to do. To the casual observer, see- ing the kindergarten for the first time, the question naturally arises, Can anything so delightful really be a part of a grave scientific system of educa- tion? Perhaps there is no movement about which people have been so skeptical and so inadequately informed as to the true worth of the kindergarten. They have even pronounced it a fad. Vtlould this not be partly obviated if the real nature of the kindergarten were understoodg would the idea that it is a fad not disappear before a consideration of the noble aims of its founder and of the teachers who ever since his time have labored to carry out his ideals? The founder of the system, Fredrick Froebel, was born among the beauti- ful Thuringian forests in the year 1782. His mother was taken away when he was nine months old and his father, a minister, was much too busy with his parish work to spend time with his child. The loneliness and sadness Froebel experienced during his childhood was doubtless the cause of the awakening of his deep interest in and sympathy for children, and of his resolve that when he became a man, he would do something to make child- hood more free and happy. So perhaps the direct cause of Froebel's start- ing a kindergarten was his realization that the greatest need of the child today is to be understoodfthat is his divine right. The men at that time who had given the subject much thought were few. Rousseau and Pestalozzi did much to promote a great educational reform, but it was Froebel who struck the keynote when he said: Come let us live with our children. Feeling to a certainty that children were retarded in their growth 'mentally and physically, by being misjudged by parents and teachers, he appealed to them for their co-operation. First and wisely he went to the mothers, but they appeared to be far too busy with their household cares to devote any thought or time to this new move- ment. The fathers he found too busy with their trade. The grandmothers had the time but not the inclination. They did not sympathize with him or venture thought and interest in anything new. The teachers he next appealed to and although they were very willing, they were unable to un- derstand him and so finally he sought the children and found them to be the true field for his work. He said the little ones had taught him and he and his followers certainly showed that they had caught some of the true spirit of childhood. He opened his first kindergarten in Germany in IS4O and when the neighbors saw him dancing and playing with the children they called him an old fool. No doubt they thought him a sort of pied piper, using some magical charm to draw the children after himg but instead of leading them to destruction, his charm was used for another purpose and he has left to the world, a heritage of brilliant promise. ' Froebel made the home the center of his educational system, The real meaning of this is suggested by Frau Schrader who studied with him. Handing a picture to her he said: Hang this picture on the walls of your schoolroom. Let it remind you this is my ideal kindergarten. This picture shows us a mother with her own children and some of the neighbors' little ones, who are all busily engaged doing what they are able according to ability and age. The mother is merely guiding and directing them. There is nothing schoolish about it. This makes the kindergarten the stepping stone from the home to the school. Froebel would have the activ- ities of the home carried over into the schools, as elements of helpfulness and service. lVhen We realize Froebel spent fifteen years in planning and organizing the materials of the kindergarten, we cannot help feeling how thorough he was in all his plans for rightly developing the child. He required all materials used by the children to be perfect in form and substance and to be given to him in proper sequence. His object was of course very ap- parent. If all that is used by the children is perfect, they will receive only perfect ideas of things. If they have only perfect lines to follow they will ever demand them and will be quick to notice and criticize all that is imperfect. The little articles which the child was taught to cut, sew, paint or model were crude enough as a rule, still through them his fingers gained in skill and dexterity and he laid the foundation for the advanced manual training which should follow. Indeed, the ideas on which the manual training schools are conducted are nothing more than the advanced applications of the underlying principles of the kindergarten, as is shown by the success of the children in this later work. Mr. Goodhue, principal of the Viientworth schools, Chicago, says: The kindergarten-trained child is more responsive in early primary work: has greater freedom of thought and expression, better and more definite con- trol of motor activities and many well established, useful habits, not usually found in a beginner. The kindergarten takes the child between the ages of three and six, the time when lasting impressions are made either for good or for evil, when the character is first taking form. The true kindergarten regards not merely the intellect but aims to cultivate the heart as well as to train the hand. It has a purpose entirely distinct from that which is practically recognized in the school. It seeks to make the child joyous, pure, trustful, docile, reverent and unselfish. Indeed it may be said to have as its underlying principle: the inspiration of the individual mind with two master passions, one for knowledge, and the other for the beautiful and the true. It believes that truth comes not in maxims to the child but that through his own activities are the impressions made which are the rounds of truth's ladder. The kindergarten not only has in mind the awakening of the mental and moral development of the child but also his physical development. The periods of the kindergarten are so arranged that the child receives his necessary physical exercise through the games and marches which alternate with the more confininglwork of the gifts and occupations. The association and companionship with other children is one of the most valuable features of the kindergarten. The children are governed through the example of one another. They must respect their mutual rights and each await his turn for his wants and desires to be fulfilled. There is no possible way to better overcome the selfishness of children than to thus insist on fairness and impartiality among their playmates. To go away from his home a few hours each day, to repeat its activities in play, to learn about the homes of other children instead of alienating him makes him more appreciative of family and home just as European travel develops patriotism in the adult. The kindergarten work should not forcela child. Even when accomplish- ing splendid results, no more need be demanded of his intellect and strength than his self-chosen tasks at homeg but just because these ideas are related, he gains in power of thought in better directed actions and in general de- velopment. As a well ordered home conduces to the health and happiness of those that dwell within, so well ordered thinking brings to the child delights and lays the foundations for orderly habits. He loves to do for the sake of doing, but when that effort accomplishes visible results, how- ever fleeting, the joy is reinforced. Some say, Children should be little animals until they can go to school. They should not be forced. Quite true, but one cannot force them to be simply little animals. They in- variably puzzle their heads about their unknown world and ask difficult questionsg they will try to do hard things and play with an intelligence not to be suppressed. Is it well to allow these interests to continue the helter-skelter development, which demands much of the child but gives little in return? Few mothers give their children food without thought and preparation. Should not the mental and moral nature receive as great care? The natural activities of the child are encouraged rather than repressed for as someone has said, VVhat flight is to the bird, play is to the childg but this self-activity is directed in such a way that children are uncon- sciously forming correct habits of body and mind. Here, too, the indivi- dual preferences are respected 5 every good impulse is strengthened and every bad onelthwarted as much as possible. An atmosphere of mutual love and helpfulness continually surrounds the children. The kindergarten studies each child, helping him according to his par- ticular needs, encouraging the timid, arousing the sluggish, being firm yet tactful with the wilful. In the crowded districts of a great city, it is a blessed work to gather the ragged little ones into the kindergarten, wash and clothe them, feed them and in a hundred different ways show them a glimpse of a better life. In a kindergarten held in the slums of a large city there was one little girl that no influence of the teacher or of anyone else could bring to the habit of cleanliness. Always would she appear with dirty face and hands. No instruction could influence her to desire cleanliness. One day the director brought into the schoolroom a pure white lily from which to draw the lesson of the day. Gathering the children about her she taught the lesson of the pure white fiower that came up from the black dirt and the possibility of a pure boy or girl coming from the poorest of surroundings. At the close of the lesson she told them they would each have a chance to touch the beautiful Hower and to inhale its fragrance. As the children came one by one to look at the lily and to touch it, the director noticed that the little girl who was always dirty was missing. She wondered what could have become of her. Soon, however, she came rushing into the schoolroom all out of breath from running. Her face and hands were as clean as soap and water could make them. Then with hands held behind her she came carefully forward as though in reverence and awe and pausing for a moment to look at the beautiful flower, she stooped and kissed the petal of the fiower. From that day on her face and hands were clean. TYhat instruc- tion had been powerless to accomplish, the silent infiuence of the beautiful had done. A decidedly unfair criticism of the work is that which holds up to ridicule that kindergarten which is led by a person of neither natural nor acquired qualifications, as if the faults of such a condition were the faults of the institution itself, that is, of a real kindergarten in competent hands. In the Hrst place, make the trial1 give us the kindergarten. Then place over it a well equipped teacher. She must of necessity have a two years special training, preceded by a high school course, and if a college course can be added so much the better. But she should have further qualifica- tions. She must be full of music for children, love music and rythmical movements: she must have all learning possible gathered from books and nature. She must above all love children and enjoy being one of themg she is not their teacher, but playmate and companion and she is in a posi- tion to draw out their deepest affections and exert a mighty influence on their lives. YVith such a teacher the force of the words spoken by William T. Harris, Commissioner of Education of the United States, are realized. He has said: Today, the development of the kindergarten in its present achieve- ments, in its promise and especially in its tendency to infuse its spirit into every department of learning, is recognized as the most important educa- tional departure of the past hundred years, Lansing Beautiful Many considerations of a personal and friendly nature have helped to bring together this line audience but I cannot escape the thought that all of you who value time more than mere amusement are turning over this question in your minds: What have we in return for our city school tax? lYhen our class finished the common school course, it is fair to suppose we had learned all the arts of school life, such as reading, writing, figuring, draw- ing, standing erect, and sitting still. The cost of carrying our class thru the High School has been in the neighborhood of S25,000. Vilhat profit has the city gained by this expense? Or, if no profit is in sight, what stocks were purchased, what product created by the use of this money, from which the city may hope for returns in the future? Of course all we have to count up now are certain rules and principles and facts learnedg certain charts, as it were, of the brave voyages we hope to make in the future over the sea of practical life. And, besides, certain sentiments and aims and ideals, certain ambitions for better living, for better homes and a better city, which, if realized, may square our debt to you and to all the good tax-paying people of Lansing, sooner or later. One of the best of these sentiments, or ambitions, which has grown stronger in my mind as I have tramped the streets well-nigh four times daily to and from the High School, equal in all to a journey on foot from Maine to California-perhaps, I say, one of the very best things I have learned is the loyal desire to see Lansing become an ideal city in the best sense of the word. Lansing had an unusual origin, a sort of political birth, and for many years it enjoyed the freedom of village life and the jealous neglect and aversion of financial capital and business enterprise, Nature endowed this city bountifully with rich iields and forests. What a site for an ideal home for a city! Turn your minds back to forty-seven, when the Capital was located here, and think what a landscape gardener or a good city en- gineer could have made of this tract of natures lavish beauty from the old Fair Grounds on the south to the Sugar Factory on the north. VVith a site fairer than Mount Vernon and a Capitol for a civic centre which excels all others in simplicity, dignity, and beauty 3 with a river whose banks furnish in the short circuit of the city every variety of precipice and slope and plain, what an easy task to have made this a garden of Eden. Between VVashington avenue and the river should have been kept for the the finest park and river drive in all Michigan. Our principal streets should have radiated from the Capitol so that all roads would lead to the centre of business and interest. As our streets now run, it is not hard to believe the story of the old German farmer who entered the city on Cedar street north and drove on thru to Mason to get his horses shod. But our city is laid out as it is and radical change will scarcely be ac- cepted. VVhat then remains for us to do? First, we need a Public Art Commission. composed of men who are able to see visions of entire cities in the future,-men of ambition, line judg- ment and taste, who can plan a home for a city of a hundred thousand people in the last days of this century. Then. we must have city oni- cials who can understand, who have conlidence in, and who can back a Wise engineer with funds. And we must have a public sentiment which has the understanding and confidence and loyalty and city pride to stand by such an administration. A large body of our people should be ready to say to everybody at all times: Lansing shall be worthy of the name of Capital of Michigan,-Detroit. Grand Rapids. and Muskegon included. Not quantity but quality, please you, is worthy to rule our fair State. Fellow citizens, Lansing is no mean city. lt was not founded for a log- ging camp or a trading post, but to be the Capiial of a great state. Are we Worthy to bear its name and to share its history and honor? Are not most of us living without thought or consciousness of the noble missioniof our city? How is it? Are we living merely private lives in the midst of a great cor- poration? Has not this city a great destiny to which we contribute? Read the history of Athens, Rome, Geneva, Edinburgh and other cities! Did they not have a destiny? Did they not count for more than their citizens in private life? Were they not the voice of God to the whole world? You cannot hear the men and women of Athens but every intelligent per- son the world over hears Athens speak and knows her voice right well. Listen! What do Athens and Antioch and Ephesus say to us? Listen- Lansing, dear sister of the Great Lakes, make yourself beautiful. Your people must die, but make your city immortal. Sellishness must die, must die with every individual, but the city you build, her spirit lives and speaks to the world forever. Yes, Lansing has a high destiny. It is the agent of a great purpose. VVe, the people of Lansing, are breathing out in feeble whispers what we would speak to the world. But when we are gone and our voices silent, the citv's voice, made up of all our work and words and wishes, will sound forth the meaning of our lives to other cities in other ages. Lansing beazztifzzl is to be the expression of our people io the world of what we tlziuk of life-of what respect we have for ozzrselies, of our love for others, of the best that a rirlz and powerful city can do in the wisdom of modern times in the service of beauty. Is not this the end of education? Is not this the aim of the Lansing High School? If the class of IQO6 will endorse this sentiment and do all I they can to make Lansing a beautiful city, our debt of 825,000 for four years' instruction will be paid with interest. But our progress must be slow if we are not interested as individuals, and still slow, if we are not united in our efforts. Many of our good citizens are turning away from their duty to the city. They are spending time and money at Pine Lake which might better go to embellish Lansing. Even some of our two-dollar-a-day clerks are build- ing six-hundred-dollar mosquito-proof cages at Pine Lake where they may join with the rich in complaining of the discomforts of our neglected city. Vtlhy neglect the parks at home for those at the end of our ambitious car lines? If we follow the gong of real estate electric companies our city will be scattered and helpless. Parks are a bit of God's country inside the city for daily use, as necessary as porches, parlors, and libraries to our homes. The advantages to be gained by making Lansing the first city in the State for beauty are so great that I may suppose it will be accomplished. In no other way can we excel so appropriately as a Capital city. Twenty thousand dollars a year for ten years and we stand at the head for all time to come. It will pay. Beauty brings good custom. It is worth 3200,- 0o0,000 a year to Paris, and SQ0,0C0,000 every year to the cities of Italy. But it will pay in a higher sense. It educates and enlightens, pleases and refines. It is an inspiration to nobler living and better citizenship. As Lowell has said, YVhoever learns to love the beautiful is made incapable of the mean, the low, the base. Greek culture not only had its flower in beauty, but there was its root also. A beautiful city supplements the school and church. Then let us have a campaign for city decoration. Let us organize the schools, the churches, the clubs, the secret orders, the trade unions, and the childrens' bands, all for the grand purpose of achieving a name for Lansing that will speak to the world the spirit of our life, and work, and prayers. Let us hang a ten thousand dollar painting in our post-ofliceg place some fine statues in our school groundsg clear away the foul shops and sheds from Hthe widest bridge in the world and erect there and over the Wash- ington avenue bridge artistic columns or arches to signify the city's man- ners and welcome to all strangers. Muskegon, Mich., is far ahead of us thru the generosity of one of her citizens, Mr. Hackleyg but this is a task that is worthy of the governors of a city. The duty of the rich is equal to their riches but all must do their part. The rich are pretty sure to make art lean their way, but the best persons to celebrate in public art are patriots and teachers and those who win success against difficulties. Let us have some system of work that will appeal to all and make the name of Lansing dear to the humblest man in town. Let our daily papers have an art column free to all and Lansing shall teach Michigan that hearts are greater than dollars. WM. J. ATCHISON.

At the side of the road was a prosperous looking farmer, with a large flock of sheep. He was gesticulating furiously, and threatening suit against the car company, the motorman, the conductor. and every one else, just because they had run over one stray lamb. H.

He collected his stars while spending the summer on his Morgan Estates abroad. He met Bessie Bailey. She is creating a great sensation as a Knightess. I. H.: Did you know that Lucy Longyear is also in France Hnishing her course in cooking? She writes that Bessie appears as a modern Don Quixote, and will doubtlessly win the love of some count or prince by means of her chivalry. H. A.: How scattered our Class is! Only 33 were graduated of the 156 that entered as Freshmen, and only a few are residents of Lansing. M. F.: Arthur Holly isn't far away, is he? M. K.: No. He is president of a Woman's College at Trowbridge which is famed for training young ladies to be good wives. F. R.: I wonder if it has a short course for summer vacation, with low tuition: if so, 1et's go. M. K.: I guess it must have, for two of our classmates, Gladys IYalsh and Hazel Briggs, are taking the course there now. H. A.: I am not surprised that Arthur is a college president, but why did he introduce such a course as that? I. H.: His experience has probably taught him, that it was a much needed branch of Domestic Science. H. A.: YYhen I think of Arthur, Hal VValdo always comes into my mind. Does anyone know what he is doing now? M. F.: I don't, do you Minnie? M. K.: Yes. He was here last summer when he returned from Hono- lulu. F. R.: VVhat has he been doing in Honolulu? M.

Guess whom she met in Colorado. All: Give up. M. K.: Daisy St. Mary. She had just published her little book, How to be Good in an Assembly Room, and seemed so happy to think that she could help and uplift so many wayward students. F.

I have been so busy that I had almost forgotten about it. F. R.: Yes. It is given in honor of Ruth Emery, who leaves tomorrow for the Fiji Islands. Ruth says that her one great desire in life is to satisfy the hunger of the Cannibals. H. A.: Satisfy the hunger! M. K.: Does she intend to let them eat her? F. R.: No! No! To satisfy their hunger for knowledge: she is going as a missionary. I. H.: Wlio is the Countess Kryltzoffsky,-and where does she live? F. R.: 'Why, don't you know that she was Gladys Fulton?

F.: If we are going to the reception, we had better go home, or we shall be late. H. A.: Oh, mercy! I promised Harry Collins that I would see him at four o'clock, and buy one of his Greek mythologies. He is traveling for the house that publishes them. V I. H.: Oh, never mind!

VVhen Gertrude Longyear returned from the West this summer, she told me how a famous gypsy taught her to tell fortunes by one's hand. I. H.: How I wish she were here! I should just love to have mine told. M. K.: She told me so much about it I believe I could tell you all you wish to know. I. H,: Will you tell the truth? M. K.: The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I. H.: Well, if that is your basis, I shall let you try to tell mine. All: Oh, tell mine too! M.

Third Prize Story Hathor Piliser or the Sacrifice to the God of the Nile It was the fifth month of the year: the sky was blue and the Nile flowed peacefully to its source, unconscious of the elaborate preparations being made to its gracious god, in order that the people should prosper and the land be well fertilized by its overflow. Every loyal Egyptian was preparing for the first great festival to the god of the Nile. Even Tiglath Thalmaneser in his shop, was painting spiral figures representing the rise and fall of this father of waters. That day all the maidens of Alexandria were waiting with abated breath, for Ramnes, the King, had appointed a council to decide by lot which maiden was to be sacrificed that day. Each one who had seen her friends sacrificed each previous month, felt with a thrill of terror that she might be herself the next victim. Not among these maidens was Hathor Piliser, the beautiful daughter of a noble family, and the thought of being a sacrifice was as distant from her as the asure sky spreading over the white city. One evil eye was cast on her, however, and Beni-hasan knew he would have his revenge on beautiful Hathor for thrusting him aside as she had, and for having her father cast him out of office. The council was dissolved and the news spread abroad that Hathor Piliser was to be sacrinced that day. Tiglath Thalmaneser in his shop listened to the story told him by his friend. Yes, Beni-hasan felt him- self mistreated by Hathor, and told me himself he would have revenge. VVhen the names were written on the papyrus leaves and cast into the earthen jar, he slipped in one with Hathor's name on. He being chosen to draw out the name, selected the one he himself had marked with the juice of a red berry. Hathor's father, Piliser, was very wroth and wished a recasting of the lot, but Ramnes would not consent. That is all as I have yet heard, and thou art the only one who knows. Keep thine own counsel and tell no one, for it is well. Tiglath Thalmaneser left alone, tore his beard and rent his raiment. My queen! My queen! I saw thee once in the market place and loving thee then made the sacred promise that if ever I could meet thee I would. Now I pray to thee, O god of the Nile, hear my prayer and give me grace to save this maiden from her awful doom. T The fairest and purest of all Egyptian virgins, garlanded with Howers adorned with richest raiment and jewels, as a victim of sacrifice, stood bound to a raft which could not support her we-ightg and thus prepared, amid songs of praise she was committed to the rising water. Hathor looked like a goddess. She cast one appealing glance at Beni- hasan who in that moment would have made amends for all the wrong he had done. He answered her appeal by going to the river's edge and wash- ing his hands in the glistening waterglooked at her once more, shouldered his spear and marched away, trying to quiet his conscience by saying that he had done what he should for his own honor. Ho, slave, said he quickly turning around, 'What do you wish in- truding on one in this manner? - Not being a slave sir, I do not intrude, said Tiglath Thalmaneser, but I wish to know if you will pilot me in a light boat of the Kings to a fishing spot farther down the coast, for this, holding out his palm, in which lay a ruby of brightest color, which glistened like a drop of blood. Indeed, said Beni-hasan and made a grab at the stone. Back to the water's edge went the two. One nursing the Harne of revengeg the other trying to passcify his hatred for his fellow creature to keep from striking him at once. Both guided the raft slowly along. Dusk was advancing and Tiglath's heart said: She is drowning! She is drowning! Hurry if you would save her. VVith a quick motion Tiglath raised his oar in the airg a moment of final decision and it struck with a muiiied noise. Beni-hasan sank to the bottom of the boat without a sound. It took but a moment to push him into the still waters and swiftly proceed down the river. lvith the help ofthe oars and the current he made good progress. The darkness was now setting deeper. He had gone about three miles down the river when he heard low moaning and with a throbbing heart he pressed all his strength to the oars. He saw an object ahead and soon jarred gently into some- thing. Thank Godf The raft was stronger than had been intended and she had not yet sunk. He called a cheering word, and with strong thrusts severed the chains and lifted the fainting maiden into the boat. They drifted all night, and next. day came to Cairo where they were welcomed as a king and queen. Tiglath found good occupation in his art and he cared for Hathor successfully, she adopting his mode of life and gaining favors for Tiglath and herself on account of her wonderful beauty. Thus one virgin intended for a thank offering was saved by the Nilotic divin- ity and happily, was never again thought of for the benefaction of the god. J Fourth Prize Story . A Filter Paper Romance The chemistry laboratory was deserted. Everything looked cold and cheerless, as a laboratory is apt to look when the hurly-burly of the students has departed with them. The drip,' drip, drip of the water from the faucet was the only sound which broke the silence. VVhat an uninviting place a chemical laboratory can be on such, a beautiful sunshiny afternoon as this was! What longing eyes had been cast out of the window but an hour ago! No wonder that, during the last five mimutes of that hour which was spent in clearing the desks, the students had shown an alacrity which one would never have dreamed them capable of before. But fate plays strange tricks at times. Janette Oliver had been doomed to spend two hours in the laboratory as a recreation from the day's work. As she entered the room she glanced quickly at the clock, then at her desk. As she looked at the desks a frown darkened her brow and she shrugged her shoulders impatiently. She took a key from her pocket and unlocked the drawer. As she looked in, her eyes filled with tears of vexation. What a sight met her eyes and what an odor met her nose! The drawer was topsy-turvy from one end to the otherg two bottles of acid were broken, filter papers were scattered about, the pitiful remains of a vinegar experi- ment were visible. This was certainly enough to Vex anyone, not to men- tion the neat and tidy soul of Jan. Every day for a week this had been the state of affairs. Janette had been very patient but patience sometimes ceases to be a virtue. Today she felt that things had come to a climax and something must be done. How to go at it, that was the question. She knew that it was a masculine hand which had caused the confusion because the class before her were all young men. But how to find out the particular detestable young man was a question worth pondering upon. She went to work, however, to put the drawer in order and to finish her experiments. Someway everything turned out wrong: the scales bobbed up and down provokingly and dishes slipped from her fingers. When Jan finished she was not in a frame of mind to look at things through rose- colored glasses. She had at last decided upon a course of action. She took a filter paper from the neat pile before her and wrote these words upon it: Unless you leave them as you find them, you will find them as you leave them! ' She mentally congratulated herself upon the neat phraseology of this missive. She folded it carefully and tucked it into a test tube which she had propped up in a conspicuous place in the drawer. Then she packed up her books and went up to the assembly room where the girls had con- gregated for their usual chat. Janette awaited the hour impatiently when she should look into the laboratory drawer to see the result of her little note. At last the time came. She hastened to her desk, opened the drawer and looked in. A little smile of triumph dimpled her lips. Everything was in the very neatest order to be desired. After she had inspected the contents with a pleased eye, she noticed the identical test tube which she had used propped up again and a filter paper peering over the top. She opened it eagerly and read: lYhoe'er she be. That not impossible she, That shall command my chemistry and me. Now it must be known that Janette was not a sentimental girl. She had always ridiculed her friends when they had talked about their cases Consequently this innocent little filter paper made her angry: with whom it is hard to tell. It seemed to her as though her reproof had been treated in a very light manner. During the whole hour she worked with a ven- geance. In her imagination every article suggested the personality of the young man who had regarded her reproof as a flirtation perhaps? Be- fore locking up the desk she took a piece of filter paper and wrote on it: Soft heartedness, in times like these, Shows sof'ness in the upper story. She folded it and put it in the same test tube. During the rest of the day she wondered if there would be an answer, although she declared that she didn't care if there was one or not. The next day she found the drawer neater if possible than before. There was another filter paper tucked in the test tube. She opened it eagerly and read: My fund of sensible discourse is limited: That of jest and 'jolly' infinite. She answered this note with one, which, no doubt, impressed the recipient with the scorn which the author had felt. VVhatever is worth 'jollying' at all, is worth 'jollying' well. The next day Janette was doomed to disappointment. The drawer was as neat as ever but there was no filter paper missive. Is it not strange that she was disappointed? She had said that all she wanted was the drawer to be cleang she did not care a snap about the old notes! Her curiosity kept her on the qui i'ii'e every moment. She expected to discover a note in every place. A week passed by and still no more love letters UD. She even found herself regretting that she had written such a harsh note! In two more days the event of the season would come off, namely, the Junior Hop. Everyone was looking forward to it with a great deal to anticipation. The girls' discussions consisted mainly of pink gowns, green gowns, white gloves and such frivolous things. The mascu- line members of the Class discussed the hnancial prospect. The eventful day arrived, bringing with it the distracted faces of the committee, hurry- ing florists and joyful Juniors. Janette received a large bunch of violets from her cousin, Dick 'Wells, who was to be her escort to the party. Dick VVells vowed within himself that his cousin was a Hstunner. As he escorted her into the ballroom he noted the admiring glances cast in her direction with pride. At the first strains of the music the groups broke up and the floor was soon covered with those who believed that tripping the light fantastic toe was anything but unchristianlike. jan found her- self alone at the opening of the fourteenth dance in the conservatory. No one came to claim the dance and as she sat there bemoaning her fate she heard voices at her left. She could not see the speakers but she knew Dick's voice anywhere. The first words which caught her ear were, filter paper, test tube, made an idiot of myself. She was all attention. As she caught the thread of the conversation she recognized the experi- ence which she had had in the laboratory with the unknown man! Her cheeks burned with shame as she thought how silly Dick would think her to be. The dance had ended and the twol started for the ballroom. As they passed in back of her she heard Dick say: Really, old fellow, I am sorry for you, but I shall try to fix it up. Fix it up! Indeed! She would see! In a few moments she heard Dick's hearty voice proclaiming, 'fHere she is! A tall, good-looking young man accompanied him whom Dick introduced as Mr. jack Shaw. He begged for the next dance, which Jan granted to him very coldly. Mr. Shaw was all eyes and ears for Jan the rest of the evening. She tried to be very distant at tirst but she found it impossible because of Mr. Shaw's good nature and happy-go-lucky manner. As the party drew to a close Janette took her leave. As she shook hands with Jack Shaw he gave her a little note. VVhen she examined it closer she found it to be a hlter paper with a line written upon it asking her if he might call. She was all a-flutter with excitement. She looked up into his smiling eyes and nodded. The next night was Saturday. Jan donned her prettiest gown. IVhat man can resist the combination of blue eyes. a blue gown and golden hair? IVhen the door-bell rang, Janette new to the mirror, smoothed her hair, and when jack Shaw shook hands with his hostess, he succumbed. Dur- ing the evening he told her of the part he had played in the note affair and begged imploringly for her forgiveness. She raised her eyebrows and shrugged her shoulders in a most tantalizing manner. Finally Mr. Jack became masterful and as he demanded an answer she took a little bundle of filter papers from her pocket. Mr. jack knew the answer.

Some of our books are used in the schools of Lansing and vicinity' Please mention the Oracle when purchasing goods K Foreword The Oracle is the Lansing High School year book published annually by the Seniors of that institution. In presenting this Volume to the stu- dents and friends ofthe school the Class of IQO6 pays its farewell to the Lan- sing High School. This book is primarily a rnemento of our high school career and is intended to present a brief Kaleidoscopic View of our institu- tion, our manners and our customs, as well as to picture the faces of our fellow students with whom we have associated through our high school years. 'We have tried to produce a book that will be of interest not only to students but to anyone who takes an interest in our Alma Materg to pre- sent to you a true unpainted picture of our high school life to which we can look back with pleasure in our future years and which will recall to our memory the grand old days spent at L. H. S. We offer it to you with the hope that your comments will be kind, begging you tovregard the Oracle as an earnest if not a successful effort.

Since our Class is smaller than in previous years, we have labored under a great many difliculties, but we have done our best to make it Worthy of the immortal Class of 'o6 and now ask you, our patrons, to be judges. K That Lansing is growing is shown by the fact that we have far excelled all former classes in the number of our advertisements. lYe have found advertisers more willing to take out space with us, and owing to the pros- perity of our city, we have been enabled to add lifty pages to our book. R' Thanks to Mr. Cobb, interest in the scientific department was greatly strengthened this year by the formation of a Science Club, the lack of which has been felt very much by the High School for the last several years. Any member of the school is eligible for membership and the Club has proven very successful in its undertaking. lYe hope that the organization will be continued in future years and that more interest will be given to this line of work. R' The Zodiac has completed its second year and to some degree it has proven to be successful, but we agree with last year's Oracle Board, how- ever, that such a paper should represent student life and should be pub- lished by the student body. As it is, the student staff is a mere figure- head, with their names printed as representatives of unearned honor while the real work falls to one or two teachers. The real virtues of publishing a school paper, we believe, lie in the benefit derived from the actual manage- ment of it and student interest cannot be kept up Without student rep- resentatives editing the paper. The staff as well as the representatives should be chosen from each class and the entire management of the paper should fall to them. Under such a plan, we believe, the subscription list would increase and the paper would become a student paper instead of a faculty publication. K' The Oracle heartily recommends the business men, who, with their ad- vertising have made possible the publication of our Annual. They are all reliable firms and carry everything necessary for a High School student. Please patronize them, that they may see that advertising in the High School Annual pays. ,- ,. ,aiwf , lx ,+ , f f 9 2 'ix Q A Q-gif f?f 'iif ' 2?

And a name I'll surely Call you IYhiCh will lit you well. Result One drop of veneration One ounce of calculation, Of greediness ten grains: Industry is a maze: And next love, to be sure, And hope is graduation, Faint sweet this bump contains. A diploma and great praise. How much? a whole hour's thought, The memory spot is good, With softness on the brain, The calculation small, Emotions quite a lot, As far as I can see, the rest Of dizziness a grain. Has nothing in at all. The bump of self-esteem Take all these things together, You surely ne'er will ind, The result is all too plain, This bump so Well developed 'Tis as clear as pleasant weather In any normal mind.

Remember our Advertisers The Hunting Party Translated From ffneid Book IV, ll 129 - 150. Now when Aurora, goddess fair, arose And left the bounds of Ocean deep, Then from the city gates, the chosen youths Ride forth. They carry hunting-nets and spears, Next come Massylian cavalry and hounds ' Of keenest scent. Expectantly the chiefs Of Carthage at the palace doors await. Their queen, the youthful Dido, sweet and fair Nearby a fiery steed adorned with gold And purple stands, and champs its frothing bit. At length, the queen. accompanied by a throng, YValks forth, a Tyrian mantle with bright fringe About her shoulders thrown. VVith grace, she bears A splendid shining quiver all of gold. Her hair is knotted with a golden clasp, A golden brooch her royal dress makes fast. Likewise, the glad Iulus, hope of Troy, Attended by companions, leaves the house. Anchise's son, of mortals all most fair, Rides by her side and joins his train with hers. Like to Apollo when he leaves the north And visits Delos, sacred native isle, Renews the choral dances, while the men Of Crete and painted tribes, men from the wilds About the alters mingling shout and howl. Himself o'er height of Cynthus walks meanwhile, Arranging gracefully his flowing locks, Entwining with a shining band of gold. His gleaming weapons on his shoulders sound. .-Tlneas not less buoyantly proceeds, Such wondrous beauty from his face doth shine, Ne'er seen before among the sons of men. Daisy ST.

MQ - fy-,,.!-f High School Fraternities The present decade has seen a remarkable growth of Greek-letter fra- ternities in secondary schools, and the past year or two has witnessed an equally remarkable effort to suppress them. In one of the largest cities of the United States the school authorities have regarded the existence and the influence of fraternities so harmful to the student and the school that they appealed, unsuccessfully, however, to the courts for aid in suppress- ing them. Elsewhere in some of the larger high schools there have re- cently been frequent or persistent attempts made by teachers to prevent their establishment or curtail their growth. At national and state as- sociations of teachers they are beginning to attract attention, and they have already in several instances received severe condemnation by these bodies. Finally, parents and patrons are to be found in many school com- munities where fraternities have existed, who regard them unfayorably and declare them to have had a baneful effect ,upon the moral life and ideals of at least some of their members. The writer of this article had no affiliations either in his high school or his college life with any secret fra- ternity, neither has he been connected with any fraternal organization during his teaching experience of nearly twenty-five years. He. therefore, feels that his attitude toward these organizations, being free from personal bias in their favor, is the result of unprejudiced observation of their in- fluence in the schools with which he has had connection. Passing by the vehement statements that characterize fraternities as an unchecked plague and declare their suppression to be the burning ques- tion before educational authorities today as utterances begotten of a spirit of intolerance and fanaticism, the criticisms which demand attention may be summarized as follows: C15 These societies destroy the unity and har- mony of the school, because they establish disintegrating groups and cliques in the student bodyg C25 they are undemocratic, because they are. in a narrow sense of the word, exclusive: C35 they weaken the power of the school and of teachers, because they place the interests of their organiza- tions above those of the schoolg C45 they lower the scholarship of their members, because they give prominence to the social side of lifeg C55 they are demoralizing physically, mentally, and spiritually, because of the baneful habits and practices they encourageg and C61 they are undesirable imitations of adult organizations, which, although unobjectionable or even desirable in college and in the world, are in secondary schools both un- 1 necessary and harmful, because students of this age do not possess the ma- turity of judgment required for proper self-direction: It is possibly true that fraternities may be found against which all of these deplorable charges may justly be made. It is also, unfortunately, true that fraternities exist which are a menace to school discipline and a hindrance to the right development of their members. But is it just or reasonable to condemn all because of the failure of some? Or is there any- thing inherent or fundamental in the nature and constitution of these sacieties as a whole that creates an influence harmful to the welfare of the individual and detrimental to the best interests of the schools? ' To all who are familiar with the history of college fraternities, the forego- ing criticisms will be recognized as. in the main, repetitions of the strictures that have been made against these organizations during the hundred years of their existence. In most colleges the establishment of the Greek-letter fraternities has been opposed by college authorities bitterly and persis- tentlyg yet today their existence is either regarded with indifference, or, as is more apt to be the case, is given encouragement and hearty approval by the governing body. They are now to be found in every college of any prominence, and recent estimates give them a membership of I75,000. This change in the attitude of colleges toward fraternities is partly due to a natural improvement in the character and influence of these societies. but it is also the result of a better understanding on the part of college faculties of the beneficial effects that fraternities may and actually do exert upon the individual members and upon the student body as a Whole. The demoralizing tendencies, which aroused the earlier opposition, have been found not to be inherent and necessary, but merely incidental to youthful inexperience, and by wise counsel have been greatly diminished if not wholly eliminated, As the present flourishing condition of college fraternities, after years of violent denunciation and persistent persecution, is the strongest possible refutation of the unfavorable charges made against them, and as these charges are practically the same that have been raised against secondary fraternities, the only point for consideration is Whether the difference in age and in conditions of college and secondary students makes such organi- zations among the latter unnecessary and undesirable. Q The tendency among the young to organize into groups for a more or less definite purpose is natural. Civilization and life are the fruits of organization: all progress in the world is the result of organized effort. It is a natural instinct that unites people with common interests and like purposes into larger or smaller groupsjthat they may better realize their endeavors and attain more perfect adjustment and expression in life. Like adults, children that possess similar tastes and capacities instinctively gravitate toward one another, and the club or society is the natural result. The form that the organization takes varies with the age and the surround- ings, but its essential, though unperceived, purpose is the instinctive cry of the soul for recognition, the demand for opportunity for individual ex- pression. Organization here is, therefore, a natural effort to be individual and distinctive, and as the possession of a common secret is the easiest way for children to secure and maintain a distinctive unity, a mystical name is apt to be chosen by them for this purpose: and later, in the same manner, the secret society becomes a natural and legitimate form of organization among youth. Indeed, Dr, G. Stanley Hall, an authority on educational theory, in his work on Adolescence declares that membership in a secret society and participation in its weird initiations, its mystic rites, and it other social activities is a most desirable experience for all youth. that they may develop naturally and easily into fuller manhood. Be this as it may. the phenomenal growth of Greek-letter societies in our schools under the most adverse conditions indicates that in some respects. at least. they ap- peal to natural instincts and satisfy a fundamental need in human nature. To an unprejudiced observer the fraternities differ in no essential respect from the many other social organizations of the schools. They are all expressions of the social instinct. It has taken teachers a long time to realize that the social capacities of youth are as worthy of careful training and development as are the intellectual faculties, and that play and recrea- tion in their proper place are as legitimate and valuable means of education as are books and studies. The social instincts of youth, furthermore, re- quire proper channels for expression, and if denied these in the school. where conditions are most favorable for their right unfoldment, they will find the opportunities for development elsewhere, usually amid surround- ings that can only be blighting, distorting and perverting. The church finds it necessary to provide for the social needs of its members, and why should not the school? The coming together of a small number of right- thinking young men from the different classes of the same school into closer relations and common interests must be an intercourse that is helpful and strengthening to the members and to the school, whether these meetings are secret or open. If from inexperience and lack of proper guidance harmful practices and dangerous tendencies develop in fraternities or in other school organiza- tions, why on this account condemn the organization? Would it not be wiser to disapprove of any wrong or dangerous habits, and endeavor to set the young men better standards of social activity and intercourse? Com- mon sense and sound pedagogy alike declare that evil tendencies can be removed not by elimination, but by substitution only. The fraternity question in secondary schools is, then, not a question of suppression, but one of improvement through faculty support and encour- agement, in accomplishing which end, the fraternity members will co- operate most eagerly, for as every fraternity man feels honored by his membership, he desires that all fraternities should be in good repute, and particularly that his fraternity should stand highest among these organiza- tions. Vllhen teachers are able, to appreciate and sympathize with the boy's feeling toward fraternities and his imperfect perspective of life,then will he be able, not in the capacity of a supervising faculty member, but of an associate or advisory ufraternaa true brother-to give the counsel and guidance which, free from any authority and domination, will be acceptable, because its need will be felt and its value and spirit appre- ciated. When these better conditions exist, to their present beneficial iniuence upon members, fraternities will add other advantages, because they will possess a stronger individuality, a more definite and enlarged purpose, capacity for social intercourse and pleasure of a higher order, a deeper bond of fellowship, actual participation in the life of the school, and hon- orable recognition in the esteem of the community. The influence of such fraternities in and upon the school will, of course, be beneiicialg for, being influential, organized and well-known, with reputations to gain and guard, they will not be irresponsible and unreachable, but will prove willing and able to co-operate with, rather than to work against, the school's Welfare, and will afford most excellent channels for the dissemination throughout the school of the best ideals of work and play. As is the case with teachers, the unfriendly attitude of many parents to school fraternities is largely due to their failure to recognize the very dif- ferent character and influence of different fraternities, and their own re- sponsibility in giving the judicious counsel that the young need, desire, and are entitled to. Frequently while condemning school authorities for per- mitting the existence of fraternities at all, because some have been found to be vicious in their influence, parents have permitted their sons to join a fraternity without making the slightest effort to learn of its character and the reputation of its members. In larger schools there will always be some students of snobbish and vicious tendencies, who will make use of the fraternity organization as a cloak of secrecy to conceal the gratifica-f tion of their vices. But sumptuous banquets, fantastic public initiations vulgar revelings, or even chapter-halls and rooms are not legitimate among, nor characteristic of the better school fraternities. Such unworthy organi- zations have only a nominal relationship to a school, and duty to his son, to fraternities, and to the school requires that a parent shall refuse support to such demoralizing fraternities. The present agitation concerning school fraternities will not be in vain if, on the one hand, it teaches our students that the basis of every worthy organization is sincere aims and high purposes, and, on the other hand, it awakens teachers and parents to a consideration of their great responsibili- ties and their equally great opportunities in helping by sympathy and wise counsel inexperienced youth to achieve through these perfected fraternities an exalted manhood.

First Prize Story A Freshman Coup d' Etat Never in all my seventeen years' experience did I behold any rain like this rain, exclaimed Janet wrathfully, slamming down the window. Well, the earth will be all the more ready, ventured Anne sooth- ingly. Yes-also the Sophsf' Plainly, something more than Anne lVells' oil was needed to calm the raging sea of -lanet's wrath. It's enough to drive a person distracted! Precisely when our class tree is ready to be planted, the ceremonies actually prepared, and the president neither lost, stolen, nor strayed, the rain pours down in torrents and ruins everything. And meanwhile the Sophomores are collecting their forces. Wlhat can we poor Freshmen do against them? VVhen were Freshmen ever known to plant a tree successfully? Anyway, they have to be done all over again by the gardeners. Virginia Dutton had cousins who had been Freshmen in their day, and she knew the trials and tribulations which follow hard upon that much- abused class. And just because of those wretched Sophs., supplemented Harriet gloomily. Sister told me that when they planted their class tree, all she heard was Sophomore yells, all she saw was shrieking Sophomores, all she did was to iight Sophomores. Their tree died in two weeks. I could have scalped every one of them this morning, said Janet, when they gave their class yell just after Dr. 'Whiting announced that owing to the rain, the ceremony of planting the Freshman tree was to be postponed. I don't see why we couldn't have gone out with umbrellas, said Anne. A Imagine us dancing airily about the tree in rubbers, laughed Chloe Black. I'm afraid our spirits would have been rather damp. That's a very bad pun, my child, began Harriet severely, when the door burst open and a girl, breathless, hatless, scarlet-cheeked, the water dripping from every lock of hair, rushed into the assemblage. Girls, she gasped, this is getting monotonous. This is the third time I've run away from Sophomores. I have been followed all the way from Lab., but I thought I was safe until I saw a couple more in front heading me off. Then did I truly despair of ever seeing home and relatives and loved ones again. You shall have a body guard hereafter, announced Chloe, as the girl paused for breath. We can't afford to let our president contract heart disease by running away from Sophs. I'd have been most awfully thankful for one then, continued the president, mopping the heated presidential brow. You have heard that story of the engineer who put on full speed and ran his train over a bridge in safety, although the bridge went down, haven't you? Well, my beloved friends, I used exactly the same principle. I threw my caution Rubber Stamps in a hurry--Ask Stalker .UEQU HEATRE THE PEOPLES, POPULAR PLAY HOUSE : : 2: F. W.

Advertising in the Oracle pays and umbrella to the winds, picked up my skirts, and went through those Sophomores like a battering ram. While they were picking up what was left of them, I was speeding up the steps of this haven of refuge and- Listen! cried janet, sitting up suddenly. There was a clatter of feet on the staircase, a quick rush down the corridor, and a loud knock at the door. The president dispensed with all dignity and slid under the bed. The Freshmen looked at each other. I I defy them, said Chloe, as she opened the door, to face a body of Sophomores, smiling sweetly, albeit somewhat flushed. IYe just called to return Miss Conroy's umbrella. She dropped it and didn't have the time to pick it up. And please tell her, with our com- pliments, that if she wants to plant that tree today, we can send around a fine assortment of flower pots, with special reductions on the prices. Ah, thank you, thank you! murmured Chloe, so fortunate for Miss Conroy that you happened to be there. A tall Sophomore turned purple. And your suggestion as to the flower pot is very timely. lVon't you come in and tell us how you planted yours? We are so glad to get sugges- tions from those who have had experience. Oh, you can't? So sorry. But you must all come again. The door closed and the Sophomores looked rather blankly at each other. Freshmen do not usually hit back. They blush and stammer and giggle nervously. They beg to be allowed to go their ways in peace. They even weep. I-Iere was a new state of affairs. Faith, exclaimed one, with a twinkle in each Irish blue eye, an' ther's an enemy after me own heart. 'Suggestions from your own experiences' These Freshmen are unprecedentedly audacious. I vow they won't plant that tree if I can help it. With an awful bow, the tall Sophomore stalked to her room, grimly followed by the others. But the Freshmen rejoiced. It was a bit of blue sky in the clouded heaven of their happiness. 'Come to my arms, my beamish boy,' carrolled Janet,falling on Chloe's neck, 'Oh, frabjous day! Caloohl Callayl' They swung around the room in a triumphant war dance, while the walls swayed to the three times three and a tiger which her admiring friends raised for Chloe. But the clouds return. Up the stairs, two at a time, battle in her eye, came the matron to remind the young ladies that if they could not be quiet. it would be her painful duty to report them for disorderly conduct: she added much more, to which the Freshmen listened, polite concern on their faces, murder in their hearts, for just beyond the matron, in full viewof the victims, two Sophomores, in dumb show crowed exultantly. VVhen the worthy lady finally departed, Janet slammed and locked the door. After those insults, nothing but blood can wipe out our enmity. But we can't do anything. They will continue to play off their tricks and spoil our tree-planting, groaned Virginia. Virginia, my love, you are a pessimist, said Anne. I move we call a council. We must find a way to defeat those Sophs. The fact of the matter is, ladies and gentlemen, began Mildred Conroy, that the Sophomores from time immemorial have tried to spoil the Fresh- men tree-planting-generally succeeding. This year they have the ad- vantage of us and I happen to know that they are planning something un- usually nasty. I shall probably be in durance vile before night-by-the- way, if worst comes to worst, my speech is in the upper left-hand drawer of my deskealthough I have thus far escaped their clutches. Now tomor- row we plant the tree, rain or shine, and it is a foregone conclusion that the Sophomores to a man will be there. The thing to do is to keep them away.

Whereupon, amid much laughter. stifled cheers. and mighty vows of vengeance, janet revealed to them the plan, which grew and magnified until it rose up before their wondering eyes as tizc creation of the age. But we mustn't waste any time, she said, after they had reviewed the plot and perfected various details. Girls turn out your pocket booksg we'll need live dollar's worth anyway. Chloe, are you game to go to town with me? lYe'll just have time to catch the four-twenty car. Mil- dred, for goodness sake, lock yourself infwe mustn't spoil this happy occasion by losing you. The rest of you spread the news, but be quiet. Remember four-thirty tomorrow morning. Five minutes later two rain-coated girls under a big umbrella slipped around the corner of the house and disappeared in the mist. That evening at dinner, the Freshmen were a hilarious lot. their noise even outstripping that of the Seniors, notoriously the noisiest table in the dining-room. The juniors were by no means silent, but as they serenely ate their dinners, the Sophomores were observed to glance at the Fresh- men and then at each other, while around each mouth curled a well-let- thern-laugh-while-they-can,-grief-comes-in-the-morning sort of a smile. Before the sun had arisen the next day, he that had ears might have heard, all over the dormitory, the violent ringing of alarm clocks, suddenly suppressed. Those who did hear merely smiled and went to sleep again, for the examinations of the spring term were near, and many arose at day- break to study. However, it seemed to be something more than a deep desire for knowledge which had aroused them, for promptly at four-thirty the door of every room containing a Freshman was cautiously opened, and every Freshman tip-toed forth, booted and spurred, and lit for the light. Noiselessly they formed in line, not a whisper or a giggle betraying them. Then Chloe Black, at a nod from the president, touched a button in the wall. Exactly one moment before Chloe pressed the button, there were some Eve hundred souls sleeping the sleep of the just in the building, Exactly one minute after, there was not even a slumbering kitten. For their dreams were snapped off with startling suddenness by the harsh clang, clang, clang, clang, of the fire gong, reverberating through and through the silent dormitories. Never before in the history of the college had there been such complete unanimity of action. With shrieks, groans, weeping, hysterical laughter, and vigorous calls for help, actuated by the one common impulse to seek safety in flight, every teacher, matron, servant, Senior, Junior, and Sopho- more made a rush for the corridors. But on the very threshold their feet refused to carry them further. In vain they struggled-they could go no further. To their rampant imaginations, smoke was curling up the stairways, Hames were bursting forth, the walls were swaying, and there was no rescue. For the feet of every teacher, matron, servant, Senior, junior, and Sophomore were stuck fast to neat little door-mats of Tangle- foot Fly-Paper. Their fears concerning fire were forever silenced by the single shout of April Fool from the Freshmen. Then their indignation arose and their wrath was boundless. In solos, in duets, in quartettes, in octettes, in choruses, in whole choirs, did the victims call down the wrath of Jupiter upon the Freshmen, hurling after them imprecations, anathemas and terrible vows of vengeance. The Freshmen did not even remain to exult over the victory. Two and two, to the inspiring music of their class song, they marched down stairs, out of the front door, and across the campus to the spot designated for their class tree. Then, and not till then, did the Sophomores behold the inner meaning of the strategem, and it was with deep-seated vengeance mingled with a reluctant admiration, that they floundered back to their rooms Those who possessed rooms overlooking the west end of the campus might have been observed many times to cease from their labors of trying to soak off, to scrape off, to peel off, to get off by any mortal means, the fly paper glued fast to their feet, to shake their lists ominously toward the spot where a hundred joyous Freshmen danced undisturbed about a tall pine tree, the early sun lighting up its somber branches, the early wind bearing afar the loyal Noughty-nine, noughty-nine, Rah!

Two weeks before the opening of school the team went into training at Pine Lake, devoting four and five hours a day in practice. On Sept. S the High School played a preliminary game with the Alumni of the city and held them to a score of 5 to o in their favor. The inter- scholastic series opened with a game with Flint, L. H. S. winning by a score of 25 to o. 'We won from Mason, Charlotte, Ypsilanti and Detroit lYest- ern High, VN'e tied Battle Creek 1 2 to 1 2, and on the following week a spe- cial train loaded with High School enthusiasts went to Battle Creek, but we were defeated by a score of 6 to I2. The Detroit Free Press said: Lan- sing High School should have had the championship of her district, but lost it to Battle Creek on a fluke. The next game was the hardest fought game of the season, with the State champions of Kalamazoo. Lansing High School held Kalamazoo down to a low score of 5 to o, and at several times during the game their goal was threatened. F Something distinctive in Printing?

YVe regret to say that the team will lose three of their best players, but they still have good ma- terial to select from. Much praise is due to Miss De Lamarter, through whose persistent efforts the team were able to compete with some ofthe best teams of the State, with considerable credit to themselves and to the school.
