At the opening of the year the prospect for the Christian Endeavor society was very good, and We were greatly encouraged by the number that joined our ranks. Most of the time our meetings have been very helpful, although there was a period when there seemed to be a restless spirit in them, which made us feel the need of outside inspiration. Through the instrumentality ofthe prayer-meeting committee speakers from the city were procured at various times, who created a greater earnestness among us. One of the most helpful of our speakers was Mr. H. H. Spooner, the president of the Connecticut Union. He impressed upon us th.-e nobleness of Christianity, and pointed us to the Christ, who extends to us his power in all its vastness. A very interesting letter was received from Ramallah, where little Najla, Whom We support, attends school. The whole amount required for her tuition Was not raised last year, and a vigorous effort is being made this year to cover the amount required, and also to make up part of the deficiency of last year.. VVe learn that Najla is developing into a Christian young woman, and is one of the brightest and noblest girls of her school. It has seemed best this year for us to have our consecration meetings apart from the regular evening service. These have been very impressive, and all members who have attended have been strengthened by them. The society has endeavored to make this year the best in its history, in order that Christian Endeavor might mean to the School something that is high and noble. We may not have reached the ideal we saw before us at the beginning of the year, and, although there have been failures, we have tried, with God's help, to live lives which might worthily be called Christians. eff , 1qQ:'2: , 055 A 52 vb V is P1'asz'a'e1zz' .'

This statement may seem somewhat pretentious to the casual observer, but to the impartial and interested observer the facts are only too obvious. Such has been the verdict of minds unfettered by bonds of prejudice that the members of the ,QQ squad rejoice in a work replete with honors and glories. N No eleven since 395 has been handicapped as 'QQ. New and raw material was profuse. To be pommelled and whipped into shape, without the aid of a competent trainer, was the task which con- fronted the captain. With these obstacles to be surmounted, a11d with great deeds to be achieved, the team, as one man, was electri- fied by the inspiration of success. Each man did his duty, and a reference to the scheduled games will verify the statement that our hopes and expectations were overwhelmingly realized. The most distinctive feature of the season's work is the abolition of unscrupulous tactics from the game. To consign a conflict of mere brute strength to oblivion, and yet maintain, by pure, scientific playing, the supremacy among the schools of Rhode Island, is a work to be proud of. Nor has success unduly affected us, for we know that with the continuance of such honest and conscientious Work a still higher position may be attained. mas Battey, wlyose infelgirify, perseveralyce, arid unswerving Christian Prmclple call fnvrl?

GOT-BALL has made such strides toward improvement ' i in the K' Old 'Stution in the past few years that to-day ne find a xx ell organized second eleven knocking at the doors of the PHCENIX ECHO for admission, presenting credentials of the season's work. The residue of the first eleven, fortunately, enabled the second team to draw men whose knowledge of foot-ball was vastly out of proportion with our ordinary second elevens. Thus endowed with that one essential requirement which goes to constitute a reliable foot-ball team, namely, experience, the pros- pects of a successful season were a foregone conclusion. Time did not shatter our expectations, but, on the contrary, strengthened them. At the end of the season the enthusiasts found five victories and one solitary defeat as a realization of their fondest hopes. The defeat of the champion interscholastic eleven was a culmina- tion worthy of the highest praise. N . x 14 , an TW, I 1 3, . U 1 -,W!'rJjX,Av,.4 My 4-1 ., .MV . . 1- ,- 1 .

BASE M L ' ' , HE base-ball problem which presented itself for solution ' in the early part of the season was one full of anxiety '1.- r 3' Q and solicitude. To make up a team which should be in -T -,A ff. no degree inferior to those of the past was thought to be impossible. A substantial portion of the 1899 team was gradu- ated last year, and it was believed, at first, that the respective positions of these men could not be Hlled again creditably. XVhen the call for candidates was made, some twenty men responded. After several trips to the cage the 1' weeding process l' reduced the number to a possible twelve. The customary in-door practice of batting, fielding, and throwing was indulged in, which proved of inestimable value as the season advanced. The out-of-door work of the men, pursued with earnest- ness and assiduity of purpose, soon began to instill into their sup- porters coniidence and hope. The old men fell into their respective positions with ease and celerity, while the new men, by their indi- vidual and team work, proved themselves capable of filling the doubtful places with greater lustre than they have been illed in several years. The essential points which win base-ball games have been urged with more persistency than heretofore, in fact, from a scientific consideration, this year's team has acquired greater proficiency, shown greater knowledge, and gained greater results than Friends School has hitherto attained.

The long continuation of pleasant days in the fall enabled us to spend most of our time on the grounds. Everything was done to encourage us in out-of-door exercise, and certainly the nursery had fewer applicants on this account. The School was very fortunate in getting Miss Vtfilbur to teach the girls in the gymnasium. VVe have all enjoyed this work very much, and it has kept us in good condition to continue the out-of- door sports. The bicycle and tennis associations have kept up the same in- terest, and many new games have been introduced on the grounds. The basket-ball team seems to be the greatest feature of interest and evidence of our advancement. Many of the new girls have taken hold of it with great energy and have re-inforced the rem- nants of last year's team so obviously that not only was the absence of some of the strong players not felt, but we may venture to say the present team even surpasses last year's. We did not play any outside teams last fall, for the reason that none were prepared to compete with usg but this spring we trust our luck will turn, and we may creditably show our opponents that our practice has not been in vain. NVe hope for even greater advancement next year, and trust the fall of nineteen hundred will open up even more opportunities for girls' athletics at Friends School. P1'6sz'a'e11f, CAROLINE JONES.

AYER, '00, 1 Boys' Tennis Association. H' URING the past few years, in almost every sport in which the boys at Friends School have engaged they have be- . come very proficient. A Although the game of tennis was introduced at a com- paratively recent date, it has not, up to the present time, been any exception to this rule. A number of good players has been de- veloped, some of whom had had no previous experience in the game. There has been but one court most of the time, but this has been constantly in use, and among those who have not played there has been usually considerable interest. A Tournaments have been held annually, and in each succeeding one a marked improvement in playing over the last has been notice- able. The tournament held last year far surpassed any of the pre- ceding ones in the quality of its playing. Much credit is due, also, to the management for the business-like way in which the details were arranged. This year, however, everything has been changed. In the lirst place, nothing was done for a long time to get the court into shape. To convert a piece of ground grown up with weeds into a tennis- court is no small job, and should not be left to the boys. Although not at present so conspicuous a branch of the School's athletics as foot-ball or base-ball, tennis is in many respects a far better form of exercise, and as such it should receive more attention from the school. Many of the boys who would otherwise have taken regular exercise on the tennis-court were prevented from doing so by its condition. Exercise is as needful for health at one time of year as at another, and if we have to take gymnastics during the winter, we certainly ought to take every possible opportunity for exercise during the summer. It is true that a number of the best players that have yet attended the School were graduated last year. This ought to make but little difference. There are plenty of players left Who would, after prac- tice, became as skillful as any Who have gone. A movement is now on foot to institute an annual tennis tourna- ment among the schools in the city. If this succeeds, as it seems likely to do, Friends School can make a conspicuous name for itself in the tennis realm of schools unless there is a great improvement in its players. It is earnestly desired that this branch of athletics be developed, and that all who can help in doing so should lend their assistance. Preszkievzf .- HILDA S. JOHNSON. Cajffain .'

The results of this year's work have been ex- ceptionally fine, as the accompanying illustrations itii' 'l fl in Some degree show. A number of handsome chests have been carved, and one or two of the tall clocks which delight the heart of critics of choice furniture. Among other things which the skilful hands of the students have produced are chairs, cabinets,tables, ' frames, both large and ' I small, panels and bel- lows of various origi- nal and artistic de- signs. The creative genius of the teacher finds expression in a hand- somely carved yard- stick of tulips. We have heard of yards of roses and yards of pansies, but never, I think, have we known tulips by the yard, as we ind on this measure, now on exhibition at the studio. All who are seeking to combine beauty and use in the home will take pleas- ure in this piece of carving. In carpentering the boys have gained a great deal of practical knowledge, and have constructed for themselves many useful things. One little boy of seven has a treasured book-case which he made and carved. In strength and beauty it would do credit to many an older artist.

The editorial board recommends a careful perusal of the essay on Friends Schoolf' kindly contributed by Augustine Jones. To Mr. Thomas J. Battey we dedicate this volume of the ECHO. A man whose kind, sweet, and congenial soul appeals with a latent fascination to his students. Enshrouded in his mysteries of science, he exemplifies a strenuous life. A friend of all, and of all a friend. Reflecting upon each phase of school-life, we are overwhelmed with the remarkable evidence of progress. The Phoenix Lyceum has dashed to atoms the theory that a large membership impedes the mechanical workings of the society. The debates and other literary researches have proven proline in class Work.

An endowment of ?H4100,000 came to the school in 1822, from Obadiah Brown, son of Moses, which money was produced at the Slater mill, and was the largest bequest to any school in the country at that date. The Yearly Meetiiig of Friends for New England has the care of it. A thorough, practical education for business life and the most ap- proved preparation for college are furnished. lVIany universities and colleges receive students from it on certiiicates without examination. The school has a large number of experienced teachers, and as far as practicable, they are specialists, limited to their several depart- ments. The Hue arts receive special attention. Excellent instruction is given in music. VVood carving has recently been added. It has an astronomical observatory, valuable apparatus for chemical and physical work, and a rich mineral cabinet. The library contains about seven thousand well-selected volumes. A very home-like and agree- able appearance has been given to the rooms by the use of large num- bers of beautiful pictures and busts. It has, this year, perfected its electric. lighting system, and nearly completed a most perfect system of heating and ventilation by direct steam and forced air, and no other school can now excel it in these respects. It added lately to its buildings one devoted exclusively to art, naming it because of the trees about it, 6' Studio of the Three Oaks. It is a unique and beautiful building for the purpose for which it was constructed. The educational force of an institution of this character is not lim- ited to school hoursg it is constant. The great benents of co-educa- tion are everywhere discernible. For particulars address Friends School, Providence, R. I.

The mutual feeling of good fellowship among the students has been so noticeable that some say that an era of good feeling has begun. Athletics-foot-ball, base-ball, track, basket-ball, gymnasium- go hand in hand with school Work. The Christian Endeavor society maintains its supremacy as the leading organization and power in school. The course of lectures presented to the school during the year has been very interesting and edifying.

The mighty river starts with drops of melted snow at the summit of mountains which divide a continent, and sweeps into the ocean hundreds of miles away in resistless floods. The infant nurtured in some cottage re- mote from the centres of traffic, far from the seats of learning and wisdom, has developed until his hands swayed the rod of empire, or waldd to extasy the living lyre. Institutions like the British and Foreign Bible Society began with a little upper-room meet- ing of a few persons in weakness and doubt, and in a century grew to be vast, issuing IIo,ooo,ooo volumes in 2So different lan- guages. It has become one of the great forces of civilization and of the amelioration of the world. Colleges, universities, and schools in general have started small, like the mustard seed in the parable, and evolved trees with great branches. The most gifted Roman orator said, U The beginning of all things is small. The Hrst recorded movement toward the founding of Friends School appeared on the 25th day of the Third Month, 1779, at the Monthly Meeting held on that day at the Friends' meeting-house at Union Village, near W'oonsocket, R. I. The record made at that meeting is as follows: It having been the concern of this meet- ing, to promote the education of our youth in schools, under the government of solid Friends, and as this necessary care is much relaxed within our Yearly Meeting, from what our Discipline re- I-4 ,,,,-'.1- ' 6, 4 I , , W., y -. , 1 X ,K Y-i.-Lf:-g , ,G .W as 111' X xt 4','1Q?,4 Vu, fl- Y 'lain 1 I3 .Q ,'.,.'.g, I, ' 'V ,,x., Q , 4 1 - .-. 4,ef,rf-1-1m,, , .a . fl'1ff- ffj.,,.QF+--Qui?

Providence was included within the jurisdiction of that Monthly Meeting at that time. It was called Smithfield Monthly Meeting. There were very able and historic men at that little meeting. Moses Brown was a member of it. The eminent founder of Friends School, whose thought and steadfast energy attended and minis- tered to the enterprise g for he was always its faithful treasurer, be- ginning with its inception now and here, and terminating only with his life in 1836. He contributed more than any other person to- wards the transfer and establishment of Brown University at Prov- idence, in 177o. He became a member of the Society of Friends in 1774, and had only been a member five years when he appeared as the champion in the cause of educating the poor as well as the rich of the Society, thus elevating the whole body to a higher plane of usefulness and influence. He was alsoa pioneer in the establish- ment of the public school system in Rhode Island. He was the fore- most citizen of his native State in promoting the manufacturing in- terests of it. He had a thorough altruistic public spirit in all his undertakings. No other man in his generation left a more vigor- ous and unfading impress upon the history and prosperity of this community. ' Job Scott was present at this meeting, and was a representative to the Quarterly Meeting to which the subject of the School was referred, and was charged with the duty of advancing its weal. He was the most voluminous and successful author of Friends, doctrines and books, judging from the very numerous editions of them published both in England and America, which the Society has produced in New England, notwithstanding his soundness in doctrine was sometimes questioned, a result which is likely to at- tend an author of religious doctrine who attempts to cover wide fields. There was another gifted man who was a member of that meet- ing, and a devoted friend to the establishment of a school. His ! name was Elisha Thornton. He was an eloquent, poetic, and mag- netic preacher, and the distinnguished head of a private school in the Very neighborhood of this meeting, which was a beacon light of cul- ture and educational influence for many years. There were others of less note, but of similar substantial type of character, who hailed the dawning of a new light on the pathway of the church. It is a matter of simple justice that we note how essentially this School sprang out of the bosom of the church, as Minerva from the head of jove. The colleges and universities, in the beginning at least, all came in the same manner, and the com- mon schools from the colleges, while the common schools seldom remember with gratitude or affection the church which is the mother of them all. Religion, the school, and the State can never be long severed and each takes its own several way without loss and, at last, destruction to one and all. Sectarianism may be an evil if its aims are selfish and clannish 5 but religion is a public necessity for the public safety, and ought to enter the education of all youth in the community. The cause of the School was next presented at Rhode Island Quarterly Meeting of Friends, the Eighth of Fourth Month, 1779, at East Greenwich, R. I., and the record is as follows: 'tSmith- field Monthly Meeting signifying their desire, for the education of youth in schools, and that the consideration thereof might be laid before the Yearly Meeting. The subject was accordingly brought before the Yearly Meeting, Sixth Month, 12th, 1779, and from that day to this, more than one hundred and twenty years, the Yearly Meeting has never ceased to concern itself respecting this school and the education of all its children. The Yearly Meeting re- sponded to the suggestion from Rhode Island, in the following re- corded words: Rhode Island Quarterly Meeting in their account, desiring this Meeting to consider of a method to promote the estab- lishing of Schools, for the education of Youth Among Friends. Thereupon Moses Brown with fifteen other men, together with such other Friends as may feel an engagement to attend with them, are appoi-nted to the matter under consideration ' ' ' and to report their sense upon the same to the adjournment of this meeting. - Yearbf Zlleefing Rec., Vol. f,j1. 333-4. This Committee reported a few days later that they had solidly considered the proposal of Rhode Island Quarterly Meeting, and the recommendation of our brethren of Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, in their last epistle, respecting the education of our youth in schools, under the care of solid Friends. They then recommend that an interest in the subject be created throughout New Eng- land, in all of their subordinate meetings, including the smallest of them.-C Y. Ill. Rec., Vol. f, p. 3365. They request reports and re- turns from the meetings within their jurisdiction next year, in or- der to ripen the subject for further advice and assistance in this in- teresting matter. The Yearly Meeting in 1780 receives satisfactory information from the Committee that during the previous year the subject had met the solid attention of the Quarterly Meetings everywhere. The meeting was profoundly moved by the report, and appointed a special Committee, of which Moses Brown and William Rotch of Nantucket were members, to take the matter into solid considera- tion, and report during the session. This Committee proposed a plan of subscription, throughout the membership of the Yearly Meeting, to create a permanent endow- ment to be held in trust perpetually by a Committee of the Yearly Meeting. They say, And in order to the speedy establishment of this necessary Institution, we recommend a subscription, in free- dom, to be promoted in all the meetings. Finally, to secure con- stant attention and progress, the matter 'is referred to the Meeting for Sufferings, a sort of Board of Directors, to manage the cause and collect money during the subsequent year.- Y. Ill. Rec., Vol. f, 17. 248. 8 The Meeting for Sufferings struggled with the difficulties of the situation at its meetings, Seventh Mo., 12th, 1780, Ninth Mo., 11th, 178og Sixth Mo., 6th, 17813 and Seventh Mo., 12th, 1782. The meeting at this last date issued a very important appeal to all the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings, giving the history of the cause in other meetings, and setting forth earnestly the measureless im- portance and necessity of the School or schools for the children of Friends. This document of nineteen pages was signed by Moses Brown, as clerk, and published in excellent form.-III. for Szj Rec., Vol. f, p. 177. A committee reported as follows :- We the Committee ap- pointed to consider of opening the Yearly Meeting's School, report that we have attended to the subject, and there appears the Sum of A107-gs, subscribed for the present year, which together with the interest of the money, subscribed for the fund, will amount tO A4134-IQS, for the first year, which sum we think sufficient to attempt opening the schoolpwithf'-XII.for Szj Rec., Vol. f, jf. 190. The committee, and indeed the meeting, were in great doubt and perplexity about the location of the School, and about the teacher. The real solid man was not yet visible to the eyes of Friends, and, like Diogenes, they were searching for him. They at last concluded, after much examination of places and persons, to begin at the Portsmouth Friend's meeting-house, tradition says in the north-east chamber of it, with Isaac Lawton, preacher and poet, as teacher.

Neither are we a great part of the human i11terest which will centre here. Generations upon generations yet unborn will arise with grateful hearts to commemorate this natal hour and these hallowed associa- tions. The School which then became an established fact in history, had arisen amidst difliculties of the most distressing nature. The Yearly Meeting of 1779, in which the cause began to shape itself, sat at Smithfield because the British army was in possession of Newport, and had been since 1776 during three years, terminating with Tenth Mo., 25th, 1779, the date of evacuation of the English from Newport. This date was about the middle, of the revolutionary War, as peace was secured by the treaty of Ninth Mo., gd, 1783. Friends - 3 were between the fires of two persecutors-the British and Ameri- cans-because they were non-combatants, and their property a prey to both. The following brief record will assist us to realize their experi- ences: The amount of Friends suffering within Rhode Island government o11 account of our religious testimony against war and fighting, brought up since our last Yearly Meeting, is 53,456- and upwardsfl This was f17,28o, which was large for one year, in those times of poverty. It is a memorable fact that Friends School is coeval with, in- deed, antedates the government of our country. The legislature of Virginia took the first step which finally led to the formation of the Constitution of the United States on 2ISt of First Mo., 1786, two years after our Alma Mater began her benelicent mission. The government was 11ot, however, in force until Fourth Mo., 6th, 1739. S ' The School originated at the same time with the government, and has had a purifying and ennobling influence in its ever-extend- ing territory and population, with its lessons of self-government constantly imparted. One purpose, that is revealed everywhere in the accounts of the early organization of the School, is the elevation of the poor and helpless children. If these people could be awakened by the power of religion and of education, it would be at once the most beautiful achievement of our Christian democracy. Society is mobile like the drops of the ocean, and, as ceaseless agitation may raise the waters from the lowest depths to sparkle on the crest of the loftiest wave, so education may elevate the poor child to the highest service of his race. It is a significant circumstance that Moses Brown placed his own son Obadiah in the same school with poor children from remote and rural regions of New England, and with the rich from the abodes of luxury. This son was the donor of jgIO0,000 to the School in 1822. We have preserved with miser care his Latin grammar, which he began to study at the School on the Third day of the Fourth Mo., 1787. The thirst for learning was not great among the people. Those persons who need it and religion most are often the last to realize the situation or to appreciate their opportunities. No doubt the expenses of travel were great. A worthless paper currency and the distress of disastrous war had pressed down upon parents with a burden hard to be borne. They with difficulty secured twenty children, and it is doubtful if the School, while there, ever much exceeded that numberg yet they break out with an indomitable spirit of triumph, in their report in 1786, after two years of ex- perience, as follows: We doubt not but a diligent perseverance in Society, to promote the Institution, will with a Divine blessing, continue the School to be useful not only to this present, but future ge1ieratio11s. -171.for Szgjf, Vol. f, fl. 233. A prophecy how well fulfilled E The Meeting for Sufferings, on the 12th of Third Mo., 1787, ap- pointed Thomas Lapham and Moses Brown to solicit, by letter, do- nations to the School from England. This was their last hope in the critical situation. They had exhausted their resources of ap- peal to their own members. The letter was prepared and presented to the meeting the next day. It was then approved, and Moses Brown was requested to make a fair copy of it and forward it to the Meeting for Sufferings in London. The letter recites the trials arising from the war, paper currency, distracted government, and other things, and then proceeds as fol- lows : It is with reluctance we commence our correspondence on a subject of this nature, being sensible of the exertions of Friends in establishing that highly useful and honorable Institution at Ack- worth. But we hope the reasons mentioned will apologize for the asking for an extension of the charity and benevolence of those, whom Providence has made stewards of those things which their brethren stand in need of, and the spending of which may and we hope will be a means of their enjoying the satisfaction of greater riches. Signed by Moses Brown, Clerk.-XII. for Szj, Vol. f, jf. 2718. The reply from the Meeting for Sufferings in London to the Meeting for Sufferings in New England was presented to the meet- ing in Dartmouth, Mass., on the Tenth day of the Tenth Mo., 1787. They express much cordial sympathy with the Institution in Amer- ica, and with the efforts of their American brethren, and suggest and hope that later they may be able to contribute. Robert Burns has neatly described their condition: A man may tak a neebor's part, Yet hae uae cash to spare him. ' Our English Friends have been so importuned, without mercy, to aid American institutions, that I can never cease to be grateful that no money appears to have come from them to build up Zion here. But there is a record of an incidental event of some interest fif- teen years later, in a correspondence between the very same meet- ings. There was, it seems, great scarcity of provisions in England and Ireland, due to Napoleon, perhaps, we are not informed, but the following extract from a letter from the London Meeting to our own tells a portion of the fraternal interest and sympathy rarely called forth from east to west in our denomination: The sums received from the different Meetings on your continent amounted to 58,326-18s-5d, which appear to have been applied to the relief of 81o cases of Friends, and 420 of those not in membership, exclu- sive of the number of both classes relieved in Ireland, which we ap- prehend to be about one-seventh more. The proportion of the above sum received from you was A928-2S-6d. from the attention of our committee we have reason to believe the distribution has been made in a manner conformable to your view, with care and judgment and it is comfortable to us to be able to inform you that the assistance has been in most instances seasonable and very gratefully accepted. This Meeting is now much relieved from its pressure, and in a thankful sense thereof and of your sympathy and benevolence we are your affectionate friends. Signed on behalf of the meeting Geo. Stacey, Qlerk. Meeting for Sufferings of London. Third of oth Mo. ISO2.H This collection of money in the wilderness of America in 1802, to feed the destitute Friends in the metropolis of England, mem- bers of the oldest organizations of the Society, brings irresistibly to our minds Barnabas and Saul bearing relief from the Gentile churches at Antioch and elsewhere, to the poor saints of the mother church at Jerusalem. Acts 11: 29. For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor that are among the saints that are at Jerusalem. Rom. 15: 26. Isaac Lawton, during four years, from 1784 to 1788, was the chief and probably only teacher. He was not only a preacher and poet, but he had been clerk of the Yearly Meeting as long as it had been attractive to him, also the first clerk of the first Meeting, for Sufferings i11 177 5. - He received by no means extravagant com- pensation for his services, considering that he was in his proper person the whole faculty of Friends School. His salary was ,550 a year, exceeding by ten .-pounds that of the village preacher in Goldsmith's Deserted Village : A man he was to all the country dear, And passing rich with forty pounds a year. The School, like most schools and colleges of the present day, soon began to feel the need of more money. This is true now, no matter how much they have, their work grows upon their hands. But Friends School made its little beginning with humble contri- butions of poor people, with widows' mites, and prayer. The times and tides were 11ot propitious, indeed the location proved to be most unfortunate for business. Newport secured permanent land rents to the funds of the School, which were of vital importance to it. These were reduced or lost at once, by very unwise paper currency legislation on the part of the State of Rhode Island in 1786. The result of the forcing act was a complete stagnation of business. Merchants discontinued their dealings, and traders closed their shops. The farmers, who had pledged their lands for the paper bills, to retaliate upon the traders refused to bring their produce to market. -QHzLvf. R. f.,Q1fS. G. Arnold, Vol. ff,fv.5.21.5 Rhode Island did 11ot adopt the constitution, and become a part of the United States, until 1790, and then only by a majority of two votes. Very nearly a condition of anarchy existed at the end of four unfortunate school years, a11d very nearly State repudiation of just debts. A general improvement began in 1790. In the midst of the public distress which prevailed, the Meeting for Sufferings decided to take a vacation, to begin at the time of Rhode Island Quarterly Meeting, in the Tenth Mo., 1788. The School did not open again until the first day of the First Mo., 1819. The unexpected often happens i11 human affairs, and this long va- cation is a striking example of it. Each succeeding year, as Yearly Meeting time arrived, way did not open and the vacation was ex- tended another year, in the hope of better and more settled busi- ness. The subject was referred again tothe Meeting for Suffer- ings in 1790, and a committee on education appointed to wake up the people.- Y. Ill. Rec., Vol. ff, ji. 34. The agitation for the revival of the School was constantly before the Yearly Meeting from 1795 to 1801. Friends are earnestly pleaded with to give to the fund every year. A committee, with Moses Brown at the head of it, was directed to see what could be done for a religious and guarded education of youth.- Y. Ill. Rec., Vol. ff, jv. 167. The accumulated fund of the School, beginning with the rem- nant of the Portsmouth School of 1788, was reported to the Yearly Meeting, in 1801, as amounting to f3,837.4O, a large sum for the period. The Committee was appointed to revive the School. Moses Brown and his son Obadiah, the two greatest benefactors the School has ever had to this day, men of blessed memory, were on that committee. Eight thousand dollars were tendered to the School i11 1802, upon condition that another eight thousand be subscribed. The meeting in 1803 found itself unable to secure the desired sum of eight thousand, and thus failed of securing the six- teen thousand dollars. Little more was done of importance, except enthusiastic discussion on the subject, until 1810, when the Yearly Meeting appointed a committee which reported, in 181 1', the fund to be about 88,ooo, and they then asked to have the Yearly Meet- ing direct the Meeting for Sufferings to re-open the School. Moses and Obadiah Brown were both onthat committee, with Moses at the head of it. The matter of opening the School went to the Meeting for Sufferings in 1812, and that meeting took jurisdiction, and attempted to begin again, when the war of 1812 threw its blight across its pathway-the second war it had encountered. There were scanty harvests in that year, which increased very seriously their- difficulty. Nothing had been done in 1813 but the creation of an earnest purpose, to begin as soon as the reasonable opportunity appeared. The eventful year of 181.1 followed, which was to be the era of the glorious dawn of light, and the hour of the revival of Friends School through the noble beneficence of its illustrious founder, who had been its faithful treasurer from the beginning, and only ceased to labor for it when he had gone to his final rest in 1836. Moses Brown announced to the Meeting for Sufferings, o11 the Fourth day of Fourth Mo., 1814. I have, for the furtherance of these desirable objects, concluded to give a tract of land o11 the west part of my homestead farm, containing about forty-three acres, for the purpose of erecting suitable buildings for the Board- ing School thereon ..... ' As treasurer of the School Fund, I may for your information mention, that its present amount is about 11ine thousand three hun- dred dollars. With desires that this important subject may be considered, and proceeded in in conformity to the mind of Truth, that we may hope for its blessing, I conclude, your affectionate friend, Moses Brownf, This land was deeded to us in 1816, and is the lot upon which the School was then constructed and now stands. The attempt has been made to strip us of our ancient date of 1784, and to assert that our beginning was really First Mo., First, 1819. We can have no doubt about the continuity and identity of the School from 1784 to 1819, and so on to the present date. There were funds from the first, continuing through all to the present time, held in trust by the same Yearly Meeting, known as The Yearly Meeting of Friends for New England, not incorporated by statute until 1823, but nevertheless a quasi corporation like a parish, holding in trust for charitable or school uses. The treasurer was from iirst to last the same Moses Brown. The sum of nine thousand three hundred dollars came from the School of 1784, to the present one. The effort to renew and re- open was constantly, year by year, before the meeting, and nothing but evil ti1nes and misfortune extended the vacation far longer than was intended or expected, but one eternal purpose, one earnest soul, knew no faltering and overcame at last all obstacles. The unity, identity, and continuity were sustained in the same hands from first to last. The Grecian galley, which sailed over the Hellespont ive hundred years, preserved its identity, although every plank and rib in it had been replaced by another. Its iden- tity of form was perpetual. But there were in charge of Friends School the same persons, holding the same property, the same pur- pose dominated it. Harvard College was interrupted and sent to Concord fourteen months, immediately after the skirmish at Lex- ington, but nobody dates the University from the hour of their return to Cambridge. Brown University was at Warren, R. I., until 177o, and was called Rhode Island College: it was trans- ported to Providence in that year, its name changed afterwards to Brown University, but what is more to the point, all the college exercises were suspended from the 12th Mo., 7th, 1776, to 5th Mo. 27th, 1782, a period of six years, and yet no one ever dated the college from 1782, but from 1764, the date when it was organized to run through its ever changing and once interrupted history. We might continue to furnish instances in abundance, but we can- not contribute more at present.

The will of Obadiah Brown was made in 1814, at the same time that his father offered to donate the land to the School. The will was also in the handwriting of Moses Brown. The significant thing about it is, that the father and son were so united in this noble undertaking that their names were inseparable in the history of the Institution. No Friends School student can fail to remember with increasing satisfaction and pride that this largest donation to any school in this country at that time, by i55o,ooo, was the product in whole or in part of the first manufacture of pure cotton cloth in this nation. That his school came forth as a direct result from the infant manu- factures of the country, which industry has contributed more to the prosperity of New England than anything else in her annals. Here, then, the School and the textile arts have developed together, set in motion, both of them, by the same noble, humane, and patriotic citizens, and we can well assume that they have, from their feeble beginning, been mutual aids and supports to each other. A Committee was appointed, Sixth Mo., 11th, 1814, to consider of the proposed donation ofiland by Moses Brown, which Com- mittee reported to the Meeting of Sufferings two days later, as follows: The Committee appointed in the case of the dona- tion to the Yearly Meeting School, proposed by our Friend Moses Brown, at the last Meeting, have attended to their appointment, and have viewed the Lot of land proposed to be given, for that purpose, and are of opinion that it affords a pleasant and healthful site to erect such a building upon, that it contains about six or seven acres of pretty valuable wood, beside what the Donor pro- poses to take off, for his own use in a convenient time, for the building if carried into effect, that it is situated about three- fourths of a mile from the compact part of the town of Providence and Friends Meeting House there, and about the same distance from the college, the lot contains a quantity of stone suitable for a part of a building, and in addition to the proposed donation of land, the owner has offered access to his farm adjoining for what stone may be further required. Signed in behalf of the Committee by Samuel Rodmanf' This report was accepted.-XII. for Szj Ref., Vol. ff,f. 169. , The Yearly Meeting on the 14th inst. approved of their action, and in its desire to stimulate interest in the cause, after relating that the subscriptions thus far only furnish an inadequate sum of 39,000 to erect buildings with, it breaks out in the following words: We tenderly exhort Friends to be liberal, in their subscriptions, accord- ing to the means afforded to them, remembering that we are only stewards of the goods we possess, that we hold them by a very un- certain tenure, and that a righteous and benevolent disposition of a part of them may call down a blessing upon the remainder.- Y. M. Rec., Vol. ff,j1. 372. The Meetings for Sufferings in the First Mo., 1816, decide to con- struct one building, to contain one hundred students, with one roof to cover both sexes, instead of two buildings, one for each sex, as had been thought expedient at one time. The meeting is informed, Fifth Mo., 1 816, that the location is determined and that the digging for the foundation has begun. The form described is that of the pres- ent central building, with wings forty-two feet long. The Yearly Meeting is informed in 1817 QRM., Vol. ff,p. 3135 that the out- side of the building is nearly completed, but that it will require 87,000 more than they now have to finish and furnish it, they had expended about 518,000 already. The meeting again appealed to Friends to support the enterprise vigorously. This was not in vain, the money was furnished, and in the Sixth Mo., 1818, the Yearly Meeting appointed a School Committee whose distinguished successors continue to this present day. This Committee was, we are pleased to note, composed both of women and of nien.-Rec., Vol. ff,p. 327. p Not vainly the gift of its founder was made: Not prayerless the stones of its corner were laidg The blessing of him whom in secret they sought Has owned the good work which the fathers have wrought. The year which witnessed the opening of the School where it now stands, First Mo., 1st, 1819, was distinguished by important events. The fearful riot at Manchester, England, originating in a denial of representation in Parliament, the same cause which drove our fathers into rebellion, which was the starting point of modern re- form agitation in England, of which Manchester was ever after the storm centre. The Carlsbad Resolutions 5 a reaction against liberal opinions 5 destroying the freedom of the press in the German Confederation, 4 establishing commissions of investigation to suppress all political agitation 3 placing the universities under government supervision. The first great triumph of Christianity over idolatry in the Sand- wich Islands. The decease of James Watt, the great engineer, whose development of the steam engine continues to be one of the wonders of the world. William Wordsworth, the poet, said of him: I look upon him, considering both the magnitude and universal- ity of his genius, as perhaps the most extraordinary man that Eng- land ever produced. This year, also, John Ruskin and Queen Victoria were born, and Friends School renewed its youth like the eagleis, and arose from a peaceful but dreamy slumber of thirty-one years to newness of life, and Alabama became the twenty-second State of the American Union. The School was organized, not with a principal as at present, but with two superintendents, a man and his wife, who had the busi- ness affairs, with a -religious oversight, of the family in charge, and little, if anything, to do with the literary direction of the School. Matthew and Betsy Purington, of Salem, Mass., held that oiiice from 1819 to 1824. The teachers, for shorter or longer peri- ods during this administration, were Thomas Howland, Benjamin Rodman, Stephen A. Chase, Deborah Hill, Mary Mitchell, Dorcas Gardner, Abigail Peirce, Thomas Wilbur, Isaiah Jones, Samuel Boyd Tobey, Sarah Lockwood. We have some extracts from letters, and also a diary by Deborah Purington, from which we are able to gather interesting particulars of the opening of the School. It seems that two of the teachers, Mary Mitchell, afterwards the wife of Walter Underhill, of New York, and Dorcas Gardner, later the wife of Prof. Paul Swift, of Haverford College, came in a small sloop from Nantucket to New Bedford, thence by carriage to Moses Brownls house in Providence, the 3ISt day of Twelfth Mo., 1818, where they arrived in the evening, and proceeded to the School, First Mo., ISt, 1819, Sixth day, but could not organize the School as neither books, stationery, superintendent, nor teachers had ar- rived. Moses Brown came in his chaise, to assist and be in at the start. There were only three students who had come from Nan- tucket with the teachers mentioned. The School could not' open until Second day, First Mo., 4th, and even then it was slow. Mary Mitchell says in her letter, First Mo., 4th, 1819, Girls school- room,--Here Dorcas and I sit, each at a form, left entirely to our- selves .... Dorcas swept and swept, and I read two or three pages in Cowper's T ask I without understanding one sentence. Poor little Maria Fuller, from Lynn, who came with the superin- tendents, Matthew and Betsy Purington, of Salem, Mass., gave vent to her feelings by shedding a few pearly drops. She is the only scholar here except those who came with us. Poor little Maria ! l' thou wast the lugubrious, blubbering pro- totype of a host of thy brothers and sisters which no man can num- ber, with cups brimful of sorrow who have yearned for home sweet home, and have felt unutterably desolate even within thy protecting walls and fond embracing arms, dear venerable mother of us all. Homesick as death! was ever pang like this? ' Too old to let my watery grief appear- Aud what so bitter as a swallowed tear! -Htzluzex. She continues: Afternoon,-School overg and such a school ! At night we were conducted to the large vaulted lodging room, there were not many beds, as the bedsteads are to be corded, whe11 they are needed. Sheets unwashed, just as they came from the hands, of those who made them, at the sewing bee at Nantucket. A fire in the fireplace, or we should have sensibly felt the cold damp air of the room. No Thomas Howland. No Deborah Hill : there cannot be a regular school until the arrival of these teachers. Thomas Howland is expected to-night. The Browns and Ahnys are here frequentlyf, The procrastinating, loitering way in which these teachers and officers approached their duty is anything but inspiring. Congress was more than a month late in assembling under the constitution, in New York, in 1789. Time and appoint- ments had not the character and importance they now have, or ought to have. The extract from the letter is as follows :- Awoke before sunrise g dresses by Aurora's light, breal-:fasted at the heavi- est, large round table I ever saw 5 H tit is, no doubt, the very one now in the girls' parlor, the bottom rounds deeply worn by genera- tions of little feetj presented to the School by one of the Browns' . . . Benjamin Rodman went to town and bought some bat- tledoors and for want of anything else to do, we made good pas- time and exercise of it. Sociables were impossible, for there were no boys reported yet. What is one blade of scissors, solitary and alone, without the other? i No gymnasium, no foot-ball, no base-ball, no maddening sports with hair-splitting issues and blood-curdling suspense, no long rows of restless, joyous, or delirious spectators intent upon the ebb and flow of fortune. Life in the beginning was simple, drear, and arid I Students everywhere have an opinion, all their own, of religious meetings, which they attend in routine because it is the thing to do. But at Friends School the meetings were quaint and curious to persons whose manner of worship at home had many attractions to eye and ear which they now sought in vain. Here is the first of the series. The first First day. In the corner of one of the four large square rooms QI wish we knew whether it was in the sitting-room, the principal's room, or the boys' or girls' nursery that the minis- tering and healing beganj containing nothing but a few chairs and a large stove, we, the household, with our bonnets tied, and our shawls on, seated ourselves. Moses, Obadiah, and Dorcas Brown, with Moses Brownls two granddaughters, were all who were added. Betsy Purington knelt in supplication. The first meeting, we may assume, was almost quiet, no other service is mentioned. The schoolbooks arrived Second day, the 1 rth of First Mo., and the ceaseless march of progress began. E But a more important event transpired the next day. Two gentlemen and three lady teachers, with seven girls and six boys, on 12th inst., with Matthew and Betsy Purington occupy for the first time the present dining-room, or the one on the same floor in the east wing. The tables were long and red, without linen. Heavy plain white china, with iron knives, spoons, and forks. The boys and girls sat on stools with- out backs to them. But, more important than all questions of nu- triment, the boys appear on this day for the first time. The story of creation represents man as first in possession of the garden, and his joyous reception of woman. This was all reversed at Friends School, where the girls took the lead in time and have ever since had the supremacy in most directions. From that day to this there have been two sexes, two streams of humanity, so near to each other yet remoter than a star, with notable exceptions of counter and cross currents, which have coalesced and formed lit- tle life rivulets of their own. There came a time when both were forced to dwell far apart in Siberian solitude, viewing the ideal be- ings of the other wings only remotely through telescopes as we now try to inspect the curious inhabitants of Mars. Then there followed a milder age when our human nature asserted itself, and sociables became elegant and acceptable recreation, and the two hu1nan lives did as sweetly and steadily blend and flow, As in broad Narragansett the tides come and go. There were no carpets in the house, no paint or paper on the walls, not even whitewash. The ceiling is very high-it is a no- ble building. All it needs is to be finished .... We have no cows as yet. No coffee is drunk g shells fthe husk of cocoa seeds, a decoction of which is used as a substitute for chocolatel and Sou- chong tea are the substitutes. The girls do well. The branches taught are grammar, reading, writing, arithmetic and geographyf' And these continued to be nearly the entire curriculum during this period up to 1831. The easy chair was not found here, this insti- tution is prepared for none, but the hale and vigorousfl There were sixty scholars Second Mo., Ioth, 1819. The diary contains the following :- We rise before the sung collect in the boys' schoolroom for ten or fifteen minutes, until the breakfast bell rings, then go down into the boys' dining-room, in which are two tables, one for boys and one for girlsf' Qthey were not yet instructed in co-education, and had not learned the mutual refining influences as educational forces, and that confidence in their conduct without which strong character is impossiblej .... The morning school holds until 12, then comes dinner. After dinner we jump rope, and play battledoor, Src., until 2. Afternoon school closes at half-past four, half an hour remains till tea-time, just long enough for a short rest of our limbs by sitting, as we stand much of the time. After tea comes the school for grammar, until half-past seven. At eight the little girls go to bed 3 the larger ones at nine. The teachers had their trials. After the boys had all gone to bed they sat by a fire of blazing wood and glowing coals, and con- sulted each other upon their increasing responsibilities as teachers and caretakers .... This institution afforded no precedents, therefore the teachers could quote none. The year I822 became notable for the decease of Obadiah Brown, who gave to the School a very large and remarkable donation con- sidering its period. His father's gift of the land, because of its rise in value, is greater, but was far less at the time. No matter what fortune awaits the School in the future, the benevolence and loyalty of this man in its infancy will be cherished with grateful and affectionate remembrance. The large accession to the funds of gIO0,000, turned the atten- tion of the Yearly Meeting to guarding the same on all possible sides for its protection. The Yearly Meeting itself was in 1823 in- corporated especially under the name of The Yearly Meeting of Friends for New England, to hold property in trust perpetually, for educational and charitable uses. It would have been wiser, as the result has shown, to have created boards of trustees and have limited the immediate government of the School, as in cases of col- leges and other like institutions in general. There are reasons which make a change to usual methods, for the present, at least, impractical. There were several other donations to the School at about this time. Sylvester Wickes left to it his farm in Pomfret, Conn. He lived in Cranston, R. I. Lydia Tillinghast, of Providence, was an- other benefactor. The most remarkable benefactors at this time, next to the Browns, were William Rotch, of Nantucket, later of New Bedford, and his son, William Rotch, Jr. We must never forget to do justice to those who contributed small sums. Their personal sacrifice was greater than that of the affluent donors. The first report of the first School Committee is duly recorded, and is found Y. flf. Rec., Vol. ff, p. 3,41-2. The number of pupils in the early years are uncertain, because there were no vacations, and people must, in many instances, have remained for brief periods. It seems to have been like the platform railway, at the Chicago Columbian Exhibition, which was an end- less chain, and, without stopping the train, you stepped on and rode one minute or an hour or two, as it suited your convenience. The Yearly Meeting record reports the average number for 1819- I82O at seventy pupils, while the lists show one hundred and seventy-eight different individuals who attended. The average number reported in 1828 to the meeting is 121, but the lists show 274. The average number in 1829 reported was I35,Wl1llC 365 were listed. The two wings were extended in 1825 and 1826 forty feet each, making the wings, as now, eighty-two feet each. This made room for an increase of students. Each monthly meeting sent one or more free of cost, for six n. hs, The School at this period was distinguished for Plainness of speech behavior and apparelf' Plainness of speech meant singular pronouns in addressing a single person 3 more thanfthis was vanity. It included also the avoidance of extravagant, vain, and superfluous words in conversa- tion. Plainness of behavior implied a reserve from evil companions ship, places of public resort, horse-races, theatres, and general muster, and other vain assemblies. Plainness in apparel meant nothing for show, in form or color, or to attract attention, A coat must have only one row of useful buttons, another row would be only to stimulate superiiuous vanity. There must be no buttons behind for the same reason, or at any rate not for ornament. No rolling collar was allowed on a coat. It niust rise single, sole, and perpendicular, like a rector's. If it rolled and doubled over, that portion was superiiuous, and the government proceeded at once to do execution on the coat and reduce it to the regulation type, and sometimes even took the whole collar away. A boy came in 1829 from Worcester He had light, beautiful hair, with natural curls and ringlets all over his head. The gov- ernment, in order to subdue the wayward crookedness of his hair, sheared it all off, and left him like that fowl which had its feathers plucked out to reduce Plato's definition of a man to an absurdity: Here is Plato's man. Think of the absurdity of this in the midst of the ten thousand times ten thousand forms of beauty in the world, created solely, and without superiiuity, for the sake of beauty, which is its own excuse for being. Yet we need not think that we shall escape. A future generation will be trying in all ways to translate sense and excuse and reason into our actions and conduct, which will seem absurd to them when far from us. The superintendents were changed in I82Q and go-Enoch Breed and his wife, Lydia, with Stephen and Hannah Gould as assist- ants. Their powers and official stations were, no doubt, properly distributed, but they are not well known at present. Enoch Breed and his wife continued in oflice seven years. He seems to have left a strong impression upon the institution. His wife is said to have been a gifted person, with quick understanding, with a power of penetration into the motives of personal action which was quite remarkable. Her daughter, by ag1'ffr.er husband, entered the list of teachers at this time, and subsequently became the wife of a for- mer teacher, Samuel Boyd Tobey. Dr. Samuel Boyd Tobey and his wife were among the most dis- tinguished and loyal friends the School has had in its history. Sarah F. Tobey, until quite recently, survived for half a century, to extend to every child who became a member of the School the measureless influence of a graceful, beautiful, and exalted woman- hood. Her presence was more potent than words. It furnished an example of true and noble life. Enoch Breed, a good, faithful, and substantial Friend of his time, cannot be described without his hat. The founder of the Society, in recognition of the equality of all men before God and the law, took off his hat neither to high nor low in social life, thus, at one stroke, so far as his influence went, leveling all social orders to one common humanity. It was a noble testimony to bear. When VVilliam Penn stood before Charles II with his hat on, the king put off his. Friend Charles, said Penn, why dost thou not keep on thy hat? ,Tis the custom of this place, replied the mon- arch, K' that only one person should be covered at a time. Enoch Breed is said to have worn his hat constantly in the house and out of doors. He wore it at the table, and when he drank tea or coffee, and his saucer met the brim of his hat, then was the time for the boys to put in the fun. They tell an innocent, but doubt- ful, story, that he once took a seat in a barber's chair with his hat on. The barber hesitated, and Enoch Breed said to him: Dost thou not know me P The barber replied : No ! I should think you might b-e Methuselah l No ! I am Enoch? Very soon in his administration a more extended curriculum began to be agitated. They were no longer satisfied with a simple course in English studies. They found difficulty in the lack of teachers who were members of Society. They appoint a commit- tee with a View to expansion, and took a risk 3 but they took special care 'K that the principles and manners of the children may be pre- served from exposure by the introduction of a teacher who is not a member, should they be under the necessity of employing such an one. -- Y. JV. Rec. Vol. 3, p. 195, 235, 253. The Committee proceed, in 1830-1831, to construct the north building, long called the new building, where the natural science department, Thomas J. Battey, and the Seniors are now located. Here and now was organized the classical department, by Samuel J. Gummere, afterwards a distinguished president of Haverford College, and that most distinguished scholar, Pliny E. Chase, was one of his pupils. This noble work continued under this very ac- complished teacher until 1835. In the meanwhile the most eminent man who was ever connected with the School appeared in the 12th Mo., 1832, as literary principal. This person was Dr. John Griscom, LL. D. He brought with him a fine mineral collection, which was purchased by the School, and still remains its property, in constant use. He brought also an extensive library, and valuable and abundant apparatus for lectures in chemistry and natural philoso- phy. He continued until 1835, and was allowed to go, because he was expensive. He was sadly needed by the Society of Friends in New England, and by this community, and his departure was a great public loss. He was much sought, as a lecturer, by the Franklin and Mechanics societies in the city, and by others at Paw- tucket and elsewhere. j He had traveled extensively in Europe in 1818-1819, and pub- lished two very valuable volumes descriptive of his journey, which are exceedingly instructive books even now. He visited Benjamin VVest, Elizabeth Fry, Hannah More, VVilliam Allen, Baron Cuvier, Baron Humboldt, The Marquis de LaFayette, Thomas Clarkson, James Montgomery the poet, Lindley Murray, Francis jeffrey, Sir Walter Scott, Dr. Robert Brown of Edinburgh, Dr. Chalmers, VVil- liam Wordsvxforth, and Robert Southey. He was either invited to the homes and tables of these people, or to join them in dining with mutual friends. The average number of students under this faculty rose to 172 in 1833. Dr. John W. Francis, of New York, said of him that for thirty years Dr. Griscom was the acknowledged head of all teachers of chemistry amongst usf' He was the personal friend and corre- spondent of that eminent chemist, Benjamin Silliman, of Yale. This was the first renaissance at Friends School. The faculty contained other 11ames notable i11 after years. Dr. Pliny Earle, the distinguished superintendent of Northampton Hospital for the In- sane, was one of them. Moses A. Cartland was another, who seems by his genial manner and sympathy with the boys in their life, work, and sports, to have touched the popular heart more, and to be more .affectionately remembered, than any other person in the coterie. Moses Lockwood and jonathan Slocum, Samuel Austin, and Elizabeth H. Osborne, who was later the wife of Samuel Austin-these persons all gave character to the School in this period, and subsequently served it in numberless ways by loyal and faithful efforts in its support. 5 . .

Reed must have been sudden, precipitous, and perilous. A fall from the sublime to the ridiculous. The num- bers dropped to an average of 127 at the next report, and in 1837 rose to 134, and fell the next year to 79, and a loss of one thousand dollars. The School was broken up with scarlet fever. The year was now, for the first time, divided into two terms, as it has been ever since that time. Some stories have come to us about George F. Reed which ought to be preserved. He was convinced that horseback riding was healthful exercise, and he purchased a horse. It was brought, bridled and saddled, to the front door, and, with the wrong foot in the stirrup, he mounted into the saddle but could not find the head of the horse without facing right about. He next secured a chaise and harness, and, after driving, left the poor creature at the door without nourishment, and retired to rest. There was a deep frost that night, and the morning light disclosed the track of the chaise in and out among the trees in the girls' grove. The hungry beast had wandered in vain in quest of food, drink, and slumber. The wheels had described every curve known to mathematics, and marked out serpentine avenues everywhere, without regard to expense. Moses Brown, whose most enduring monument left in this world is Friends School, and whose memory and character will be more and more revered in the far-off years, departed this life on the Sixth day of the Ninth Mo., 1836, then almost ninety-eight years of age. Fifteen thousand dollars more came to the School by his will. It was residuary legatee upon a condition. He has set in fadeless colors the influence of his useful life-work on these hills and in these valleys. W'herever commerce, wherever the arts and humanities touch and ennoble the race, Moses Brown is present, though his name may not pass from lip to lip. Fear not but that thy light once more shall burn, Ouce more thine immemorial gleam return. The average number of students reported was seventy-seven in 1839, in the next year it was eighty-six. The library, which con- tained the most or all of the books of Moses and Obadiah Brown, had, in the opinion of the Committee, reached the limit, as it con- tained in all 1,6oo volumes. Many of these books were very valu- able and still continue to be. Indeed, as a collection of ancient Friends books, they are priceless, but they were not the nutriment for youth, except of the mature, sober, reflective, introspective sort, of which species the ordinary American school does not afford many specimens. The students were allowed no books except those in the library, so that the waters of life were only permitted to How into the in- stitution in very narrow and sluggish channels. VVe now have about ten thousand volumes in the house, and feel satisfied o11ly because all the valuable libraries of Providence hold their doors wide open to us. Charles F. Coffin, afterwards of Lynn, Mass., was a teacher this year. He was a very accomplished man, the dearest friend to Whittier, it is believed, outside of his own family. The School received its painting of Whittier from him, which was intended by both of them to be the standard, original painting. The next year, 1840-1841, Dr. Charles H. Nichols, afterwards the eminent super- intendent of the NVashington Asylum for the Insane, and later of the Bloomingdale of New York, was a teacher here, and he and Charles F. Coffin were life-long and very dear friends. Twenty acres were added to the estate in IS42, paid for by ive thousand dollars left by Moses Brown for that very purpose. A division came into the Society of Friends in New England in 1844-5 which extended far and wide, and its influences are found, even now, wherever the Society exists. John 'Wilbur, of Hopkin- ton, R. I., thought that he discovered a spirit of worldliness among Friends which was inconsistent with the history of the Society. He agitated, and was in part correct, no doubt, but he could not convince the majority, and led off what has been called the smaller bodyf, He seems to have lost what had hitherto been regarded as a fundamental doctrine, namely, submission to the sense of the body. Perhaps he argued that the sense was with the minority, in this case, as it has sometimes been in history. There was no difference in Christian doctrine, it was only in practice, in dress, and usages deemed by the majority non-essen- tial. There is a perpetual evolution in society, and it is the duty of every generation to keep up with the progress, for it is the sur- vival of the fittest, in religious organization as in everything else. Every great religious reformation in history is in evidence. Yet truth itself is eternal, unchangeable. Most religious contests have been over non-essentials, or else over mysteries which no one can ever solve, and which are capable of suggesting any amount of theory, one view possibly as full of merit as another. The moral is to keep out of religious controversy. This trouble entered the courts, and the parties struggled for the possession of meeting-houses and other property. Friends School remained with the majority. It lost students. In 1844 it only averaged fifty-five in attend- ance, and in 1845, the year of most severe disturbance, there is no report of numbers. They report in 1846, 84, and they say that the smallness is due to excellent public schools. George F. Reed, the quaint and curious classical teacher, disappeared in 1842, but he arose and flourished in the smaller body for years. No one ap- pears again on the record as teacher of Greek and Latin until La Fayette Burr came in 1848. The average number was, in 1849, 117. The School ran behind a 31,000 that year. It also sold the land north of Olney street. A new impulse towards higher learn- ing distinguished the year I85O. Rachel S. Howland, of New Bedford, an accomplished woman of great personal influence, became a member of the Committee in 1849, and is, after more than half a century, like Nestor, the most experienced of all the Greek Chieftains. Her purifying and ennobling influence upon two generations of school children is beyond computation. Silas Cornell and wife became the superintendents in 1847, and Gertrude E. Whittier, afterwards the wife of Joseph Cartland, then first appears in the faculty as a teacher. She had distinguished herself already at Portland, Me., and her career was a very important one in Friends School, to be referred to later. Silas Cornell and Sarah remained in oflice until 1852. Silas Cornell and his wife were excellent, cultivated people, who came from Rochester, N. Y., and were probably persons of more educa- tion than any of their predecessors in that particular ollice up to their time. Charles Atherton, before their arrival, had been a member of the faculty, and continued to be through their adminis- tration, and became one of the principals upon their retirement-a man whose very name is a synonym of honor, dignity, and jus- tice. His memory is revered by every boy of worth who ever came in touch with him. I This administration of Silas Cornell and wife attempted to throw some sweetness and light 'into co-education, by letting boys and girls walk certain streets of the city in sweet companionship, under what particular guards and conditions we are not informed. The result was that attentions were soon too marked between them. Some of them, by a strange fatuity, walked always with the same girl, and fond parents took away their girls. A re-action followed, which was made more trying by this very agreeable experience. Not even sociables were granted, but for a while meetings in the sitting-room softened the asperities of the situation. Also for a while correspondence was permitted beween the wings. Letters were brought in and placed upon a table, and answers were left in the same place. The nature of the correspondence is not generally known. One remarkable instance of fraud is remembered. The girl and boy were probably the last among the students that were attired in the honored and venerable garb of ancient Friends. They were so like the Friends of the olden time that you might fancy yourself looking at our ancestors through the big end of a telescope. Birds of a feather Hock together, and they flocked so far as the powers that were made way. They attempted to correspond, and all went merry as a marriage bell H until naughty boys interrupted the How of soul and wrote letters themselves to him in her stead, and the disguise was so perfect that he did not for a long time discover the deceitg not, indeed, until informed by a friend. This last corre- spondence was doubtless unique. We ought to have sympathy with the girl, severed in such an untimely manner, without a faint echo of the joyous past to comfort and console her. Silas Cornell lost his hold upon the boys chiefiy by one mistake. The farmers were ploughing in the field next to the play-ground, and the bars were temporarily down. The men went 'to dinner, and the boys went out of bounds into the field, and attached their long jumping-rope to it, and with a hundred boys for power and a student at the handles ploughed eight most beautiful long furrows around the field, more perfect than the work of the farmers. The affair was made cheerful by the presence of beautiful faces at the windows of the other wing and of the middle house. It was re- garded by the government as a serious violation of duty and order. It was in the nature of rebellion, and all privileges were instantly suspended and all were punished. The passing of bounds was a violation of rule, but the spirit and purpose of the boys was good g that was not appreciated, and the boys now did rebel in earnest, and Silas Cornell's usefulness at the School was ended forever. If he had regarded the spirit more and the let- ter less, he would have won their confidence and their hearts: as it was he lost all at one stroke. Like Charles I, he lost his kingdom in one action. The boys' schoolroom at this period was in the west end of the west wing. It was from forty-five to fifty feet, east and west, be- ginning at the present entrance to the boys' schoolroom, and from there extending east the distance named. The present boys' school- room was constructed later. Two boys occupied one desk, sitting on a form and not in chairs. A pin of wood three inches long and less than an inch in diameter stood in the outer edge of the desk, halfway between its ends and between the two boys. The room was lighted with whale oil lamps, everyone of which had sockets that fitted to the -pins on the desks, one for every two boys. And when every lamp was in action, and the wicks indifferently ad- justed, the smoke from them contributed a richness to the odor of the room, and carbon was present to be inhaled as well as oxygen. The house was soon lighted with gas, which was a great improve- ment. The boys' dining-room was the south portion of the present one. The girlsshad a separate one where the bake-house now is. There were two long tables in each room 3 no conversation was permitted at the table unless you wished something to eat or drink, and then in a whisper. Instead of chairs the children sat on stools, three of them attached to a plank so that none could be thrown down with- out a conspiracy of three persons. Table-cloths had not yet ap- peared. There was neither color nor pictures on the walls. The lodging-rooms were large, without partitions. Two persons in each bed. These rooms covered the second floor of each wing. The girls' trunk-room was their present play-room on the third iioor. Alumni Hall was not yet built. The boys' trunk-room was tlie present Belmont. There was a wash-room for boys at the west end of their present dining-room. A great iron kettle, in place of bath- rooms, was heated to furnish warm water Seventh and Fourth days, and held about fifty gallons. A memorable accident burst this at last into eight pieces. If you wished a drink of water, except when in the dining-room, you must visit the pump in the back yard. A rusty, cast iron ladle bound by a chain of iron to the pump, eight inches in diameter, was the only vehicle by which water was transported to the mouths of thirsty boys. If it was frosty it had to be used with wisdom or your mouth was frozen to it. A standing offer of 525 has been out for years for that ladle, to ornament a room of instruments of tort- ure collected from earlier ages to illustrate human suffering. An elaborate account of the history of the School is in the Yearly Meeting Minutes for 1852. The School was vacated in the summer of 1855 for repairs. Joseph and Gertrude W. Cartland came as principals that au- tumn. The School at once took a position which it had not held since the days of John Griscom. They remained only four years, but they established the present classical course and graduated three classes, 1857-8-9. The new impulse in the direction of higher education from them was felt in the Society of Friends throughout New England. Ill health soon took them from the School. but their noble, cultured infiuence has continued to be felt throughout the Society of Friends in America ever since. They have done much to preserve some qualities of the Society which are far too much disregarded in this generation. Albert K. Smiley, and his wife, Eliza P. Smiley, became prin- cipals in 1860, with his brother, Alfred H. Smiley, as associate. This administration continued nineteen years, until 1879, and was very successful. Alumni Hall was constructed in 1869. The first portion of the money was raised at a large reunion after a tent dinner west of the boys' grove, in 1866. The present boys' school- room building was finished in 1872. The general division of the chambers into rooms, with two students in each, in place of vast dormitories. Soon, also, girls and boys recited together in the same class-rooms. Finally they all sat at tables opposite to each other, instead of the girls in one wing and the boys in another. A five-thousand-dollar fence was built about tl1e premises to keep intruders away, but, after all, the School began more and more to recognize that its greatest mission would be in the wide fields of the world, among the Gentiles. The exclusive ideas of the found- ers always are to be regarded with reverence, and always are to guide the policy of the School, so far as possible, yet new occa- sions teach new duties. Many things were done to liberalize the School and to open its doors wider to the public. Greater numbers of students than ever before were drawn to its instruction and its protection. An order of court was secured to sell land not needed, to make permanent improvements on the estate. A valuable astronomical building was secured, well equipped for the time and place, which has been of great service. The School graduated a good-sized class every year, and the last classes were materially larger. The prominent teachers were able and efficient, and the reputas tion of the School was extended everywhere, and its support was creditable. One character was quite prominent for a time-John F. Rowell- the governor of the boys. His method was not the best, but it pos- sessed the merit of a strong government. And the name above all others on the lips of former students of his period is always John Rowell. Where is john F. Rowell ? H Where most he had used the'rod to save the child, there he was most revered, and tenderly and gratefully praised. He had great personal magnetism, large in size, resolute, fearless, he was born to command and to be obeyed. The boys liked the situation-and so did their parents. Taxes were assessed for the first time in the history of the School, and more than sixty thousand dollars have been paid to the city of Providence. Most of this tax was thrown off in the next administration. It is only just to say of Albert K. Smiley, that he laid the foundation of much of the subsequent prosperity in the School, if any is found in its later history. He built broad and well. He had limitations, as all have who deal with trust prop- erty and vested interests. He has also reflected credit upon the school by his subsequent career. He is an honored trustee of Brown University and of Bryn Mawr College. He has raised at Mohonk a beacon light in aid of the Indian, year after year, seen all over the civilized world, and later, at the same place, he has concentrated the best minds of the nation upon international courts and arbitration. No person can render a greater service to mankind than to help the leaders of the people to see that war is foolish and wicked between Christian na- tions. The name and memory of Albert K. Smiley is warmly cherished at Friends School, and ought to be forever. Augustine Jones, who nineteen years before succeeded Albert K. Smiley at Oak Grove, Vassalboro, Me., also succeeded him as prin- cipal of Friends School in 1879. And has the promise of a lake at Mohonk to run a hotel when weary of Friends School, or the School of him. .- There has not been much building on the premises in the last twenty-one years. The effort has 11ot been so much to expand as to deepen and strengthen the work and make it thorough. Two hundred pupils are as many as can well be congregated in one boarding-schoolg if that number is to be exceeded it would be bet- ter to use the cottage system, but to do it well every cottage re- quires as much tact in its officers as the main house, not easily se- cured for a multitude of them. The funds have been increased by the Ella J. Wheeler or Eliza- beth Fry fund, g30,000, by the Stephen T. Olney fund, 33410003 by the improvement account, 35,0002 by the Tripp flll1Cl,QE2,000Q and by art and other sums, igI0,000Q by other donations, 131,100 Qi g9O,IOO. The place has been illuminated in every room by line arts and valuable pictures. Two line wire beds and hair mattresses have taken the place of inferior- beds in every room. Each student in a single bed, instead of two in one bed. The hardwood new floors have gone almost everywhere. Paint and color have taken the place of whitewash, over all the house, on the walls. New roofs have taken the place of the old over all the important buildings. A new art building has been constructed, including wood-carving. A new boiler-house, and heating and electric lighting in every room. Complete ventilation. And hundreds of smaller matters not to be enumerated. Instrumental music in many forms has been introduced. But a greater work was the removing of the taxes, all but 51,500 annually, which will go after certain outlying land has been sold. The School must have been destroyed but for this. The library has been nearly doubled, and its effectiveness increased many folds in catalogues and qualityiof books. The introduction of art treasures is an interesting story, as also of instrumental music. The principal found in entering upon his duties that singing had been introduced, while instrumental music was not taught on the premises, but students went into the city for it. This raised a ques- tion, if it was fit to be taught at all, then it was fit to be taught here. And if the Society had a testimony against music as an art, that way of upholding it was neither logical nor expedient. It ought either to be exterminated as a thing of evil, or cherished as o an art to be taught like every other art, in school, with direc- tions as to its legitimate use. The principal put that direct issue to John G. Whittier, because he was himself an artist, loyal to the So- ciety, its history, and its future. A man of the deepest penetration into principles and measures. When one has great responsibility for his infiuence, nothing can exceed the strength and confirmation of a discerning, far-seeing counsellor, whose heart and interest is deep in the cause. His opinion was asked in confidence which has been never violated to this date. But now, as the issue is history after twenty years, and his response so to the point, I cannot with- hold it. He uses words which make me hesitate, but they are only brimful of native pleasantry, and could never be taken seriously by any one who knows anything of that gentle soul, full of love and tender, humane thoughts and feelings towards his fellow creat- ures. DANVERS, I2 Mo. 16, i88o. MY DEAR FRIEND :-Thy letter is just rec'd. I am sick with a severe cold, and unfit to write or think, but will say, at least, that I can well understand the difficulties of thy position, and wish that I could see a way out of them. The fact that the School greatly depends upon students, not of our faith, makes the case more complicated. I need not tell thee, that I have no scruples against music as an art, or natural gift. It is innocent enough in itself, but it may be abused or gmisdirected, as in corrupting, sensuous compositions and songs or in military matters. I see nothing in it more inconsistent with Quakerism, than poe- try, rhetoric, or painting. We both think the old Quaker testimony against it, as aform qf zworsfzzf, is right. In the present state of our Society,-the manifest drifting from the great central principle, and resort to the devices and expedients of other sects,-I am led to fear, that the teaching of music in the School might be found in many instances the preparation of our young folks to practice it in our meetings. They might come back to us, to sing Moody and Sankey songs about 'K Holding the Fort. I like the old reverent waiting better than the 'K Howling Dervish style of carrying on a meeting. 6 It seems clear to me, that Friends of our Yearly Meeting are hardly prepared to have a teacher in the School entirely devoted to music. If members of other sects, or Friends' children with parental sanction, wish musical instruction, could not an outside barbarian, a city music teacher come and attend to it? I should not like to decide for thee: for thy judgment under a full knowledge of the question, is better than mine. How would this view of it strike thee?-The New England Yearly Meeting School and its Principal do not undertake to teach music, as a part of the regular sanctioned course. But pupils not of our faith, and others by their parents' wish and sanction, desire or demand musi- cal instruction g and the Principal rather than leaving them to go into the city for it, where he could not extend his oversight, per- mits them to have a competent teacher, of whose moral character he is assured, to visit them, at the Institution, as a matter entirely apart from it, paid for by the pupils themselves, and in no way compromising the Yearly Meeting, as the Trustee of the donor's fund.-I think this might be done, without much difficulty. I write hastily and without any communication with Friends hereabout g and leave the matter with thee, feeling prepared to be- lieve that whatever thou dost, will be conscientiously done, and in all probability the best that under the circumstances could be. Thine truly, JOHN G. VVHITTIER. Has thee seen my ballad 1' The Kingls Missive in J. R. Osgood's Memorial History of Boston, just published? Clark Shove, of Fall River, gave a grand piano, and the Com- mittee consented to the introduction of pianos and teaching of instru- mental music, according to the spirit of the above letter. Eighth Mo., 4th, 1881. The Providence journal the next morning had an editorial on pianos at Friends School, beginning Shade of Moses Brown ! The friends of the measure felt that the broad, catholic spirit of Moses Brown in the day of his strength would have been with them, and that they had adhered to the very spirit of his teachings. The principal said to the Committee, in 1883, that it would be an excellent thing to have some pictures of the great characters of the Society on the walls, to suggest to the people who come and go the mission of the Society as shown in its distinguished members. Subsequently, as the principal was about to visit England, James H. Chace, of Providence, who for many years has been one of the most efficient men on the School Committee, suggested to him that if he found works of art when abroad of the kind mentioned in his former remarks he might purchase the same, and draw on him for a very generous sum of money, or any part thereof, which he would donate for the purpose. His meditations over the ocean resulted in the determination to spend all the money upon a bust of John Bright, under the convic- tion that there was more potency in one really good piece of art with a very great character for its subject, than in many indifferent pictures. He secured the assistance of Margaret Lucas, a distinguished sis- ter of John Bright, by whom he was introduced to the sculptor of the queen, William Theed, and We have, according to the opinion of the family, the finest bust of the great commoner in the World. This was unveiled the 28th day of Third Mo., 1884. l Charles F. Coffin, of Lynn, Mass., one of the best friends of Friends School, and a very dear friend of Whittier, presented the portrait of the poet to the School, Tenth Mo., 24th, 1884. The last time Charles F. Coflin sat as a member of the school committee he made a very impressive speech, and secured the Studio of the Three Oaksu by convincing the committee of the expediency of it. Ella J. Wheeler had named her donation of S3o,ooo the Eliza- beth Fry fund, because she admired the excellent Woman who had reformed the prisons of the world. She Was looking at the bust of John Bright, and she said: That is excellent for the boys, but Elizabeth Fry should be in the other corner for the girls. You send to London and ask Mr. Theed to cut her out of the same quality of Carrara marble, and you place her in the other corner upon a proper pedestal, and I will pay for it all, and she did as she agreed. h It was unveiled Ninth Mo., 29th, 1885. Robert C. Winthrop said of the three, in a beautiful letter com- plimentary to Vifhittier, dated Tenth Mo., 16, 1884: Eloquence, poetry, and philanthropy will form an inspiring group for your scholars to have ever before their eyes, and may lead them to emulate what they admiref' John Bright Went to the Royal Academy to see the bust of Eliza- beth Fry which was exhibited there a short time, and he said: I am proud to have mine by the side of it. Mrs. Fry's children all approved of it in letters which We have in our possession, also George Richmond, of London, who painted her portrait when living. We have three excellent pictures by William Bradford, the dis- tinguished marine and Arctic painter. Une, in the sitting-room, he gave because he was a New England member of the Society of Friends, as a monument here of himself and of his work. Walter S. Meader generously contributed Ice Under the Midnight Sun of the North,', by Bradford, now in the hall, and Mrs. Brad- ford donated a beautiful cartoon of a shipwreck on the coast of Nantucket, over the door as you enter the library. Mary R. Osborne donated the exquisite copy of Andrea Del Sarto's Holy Family, now in the hall. She also gave to us the electrical apparatus, many years ago, by which the school-rooms were first lighted with electricity. We have received from George W. Whitaker, of Providence, three very valuable paintings-a free donation to the School, painted by himself. They are most highly- prized and appreciated. They are Mount Chocorua, Niagara Falls, and an excellent fruit piece in the dining-room. We have, in the library, a Hne view in Barrington-a gift by the painter, Elijah Baxter, of Providence. It has received much commendation. Hannah J. Bailey, of Winthrop, assisted in part by Ella J. Wheeler, has lighted up the whole house, in all its parts, with excellent art and beautiful pictures, which have contributed very much to the homelike, cultivating, and aesthetic infiuence of house and home. We received in 1881 the Abner and Sarah Slade fund of 351,5oo, a donation of Sarah Slade, of Swansea, in the name of herself and her deceased husband. This was expended for the library and for philosophical apparatus, and has been of vast benefit to the School. It was very much strengthened by another gift of Timothy K. Earle, of Worcester, Mass., of Egoo for the library. These two sums of money gave a new life to the literary spirit of the School, which has continued to this present time. Charles H. Smith, of Providence, whose son graduated here in 1895, gave a very noble donation of 315550, the income to be used for the purchase of books for the boys' and girls' reading-rooms. This was a beautiful and beneficent work, the influence of which will be everlasting. Ella J. Wheeler also gave to us a painting by one of our students Qformerlyj, Henry R. Kenyon. The picture had been received in the Paris salon, and now bears the mark I,452. Sarah F. Tobey, of blessed memory, left to us a beautiful collection of sea-shells- the work of a life-time. We received from the World's Columbian exhibition at Chicago a bronze medal and a diploma for excellence in wood-carving. It is a subject of great importance that no land has been sold, except to make permanent improvements on the property, or to pay taxes on the investment, which is in land outside of the School premises proper. That is to say, it is not used for ordinary repairs, nor for the support of the institution, and there is no debt, except for permanent improvement, for which the property is now visible and unconsumed. Alumni avenue has been created and built upon, and Olney street extended to Arlington street. None of the groves or playgrounds are taxed, none have been sold, and none of the trees have been cut except for pruning purposes and to remove dead wood. The groves, with all their glorious memories, must never be desecrated by these heartless people who seem to meditate day and night to ind ways and means to slay more beautiful treesfk 'F It is not probable that there have been more persons under the instruction of the school at any time than during the present year. There have been more boarders some years. There will be in all about 260. The classes began to graduate in 1857. There were, in joseph Cartland's administration, graduates ..... . 22 In A. K.

We who have lived for so long in this our Alma Mater hardly venture to tell our fourth little history-it is so unlike other years. We have done about the same things as before, and yet there is a peculiar feeling in everything: we mentally stamp them all with that suggestive little phrase, 4' the last. The things which before seemed commonplace are now fraught with a reverence our Freshman year never dreamed of. Amidst our visions then were going to concerts, out to church, going down-town, and all sorts of other delightful things, in short, doing about as we pleased. We never understood with how differ- ent a joy we would look upon them, as we now find ourselves doing. We, the so-called lucky Seniors, even look with a feeling of envy on those just entering their course, having in view four years of Friends School, with terrible work and study, as they think. But how brief it seems now: how much more we should have done. Still, would we have it otherwise? Would we have the world go back in its course? No, indeed, there is other work for us to do. This other, bigger school has waited its destined time for us, and we must take up the other duties given us with the earnestness we wish we had adopted long ago, so that, as time goes on, we may look back with less regret on the past than we do at the end of Senior year. Our Thanksgiving sociable, most naturally, we considered a great success, thanks to the help of our kind assistants. Senior year has given us great delight in receiving Thomas Battey as a member of our class. Before, we had always admired and respected him as our teacher 5 but now, to know him as a class- mate is a privilege enjoyed only by 1900.

Of those who, first setting out from their homes, driven by fates, came under the paternal roof of old F. S. Alas! who can equal with tears our struggles with that Uh07 I'67ZLl7?L77Z 7lZ07ZSf7Zl77Z,,'-Vlfgll, and the weary journeys over many parasangs with Cyrus. Behold Mary Anne, our Trojan maiden, accompanied by a great crowd of German students. VV ith disheveled hair and palms raised toward the sky she invokes the favor of the godsg while that youthful prodigy from the noble stock of the Meadres, a race of interpreters of the signs and wonders of the heavens, arises to explain the move- ments of the planets. He having spoken, all hasten to vie with one another in the contest with rhetoric rules, where, wonderful to say, the pious Weedy, drawing a sigh from his inmost heart, relates the sad for- tune of the father of American literature, and the great assembly hangs breathless on the lips of the narrator. The banquet hall re-echoes with the clamorings and wailings of the chemistry students for HZO. As we in our wanderings approach the coast of the art studio, behold the aged father Mrrll, accompanied by a band of followers, rushes up and recognizes his ancient companion Hskll. They join right hands, and we enter under the hospitable roof. The burning altars smoke with incense, and we joyfully recline at the feast of the Seniors. As we are borne over the foaming deep the raging ausier strikes our sails aback. Clouds snatch the sun from the sky, and dark night covers the deep. The following aurora ushered in the fos- tering day With its rays. We beach our ships, and find that five from the Whole number are missing. The corridors re-echo with vvails, and groans, and feminine shrieks. Having bemoaned the fate of our lost companions for niany days, behold! one by one they appear on the horizon. Gnce more reunited We are assembled, and the pious Hskll soothes our troubled hearts and speaks thus: Y Oh, companions! We are not ignorant of former niisfortunesg oh, sufferers of greater labors! the gods will also give an end to these. Persevere, and preserve yourself for more favorable events' N11 u m ze: l9oz ,155 Ye Wondrous History of the Class of Naughty-Two. Hurrah for 'Naughty-Two' ! Thus is the blue and gold greeted, and clear and strong are the cheers, as well may they beg for was there ever so glorious a fiag, or did ever stouter or braver hearts beat than those of her youthful defenders? Tho' she is not very old yet, and has no scars, still she is dear to us, and she has been under fire on one occasion, and I fear it was only the Watchfulness of her protectors that saved her. She came to us last year. K' Last year, that year so full of begin- nings in many things, When our elders turned up their noses and called us insignificant little Freshmenfl or scoffed at those ambi- tious Freshmen. Nevertheless, We grew and prospered, and came back at the beginning of this, our Sophomore year, a joyous, happy band, full of life and vigor, and anxious to prove our importance in this great Friends School World. We were so full of class enthusiasm that, at the first opportunity, we trooped off to the hall and elected our president, Alfred the Great, nor for one moment have We had occasion to regret our choice. The first great Alfred once said: As long as I have lived, I have striven to live Worthilyf' If our own leader Was not so modest, could he not say the same? Dear old Patsyf' with her great heart so full of love and sym- pathy for others, We chose as our vice-president. Our treasurer, so faithful in the performance of his duties, broke down under the load of financial difliculties, and was forced to give up and go home. VVe were glad at the end of the first term to welcome him back, although we can no longer claim him as a class member. We mourn the loss of our secretary, too, for he was a very prom- inent member in the class in more than one way. We fear no one will fill his place, either in the class or in our hearts, for we could not but respect and honor him, and we shall cherish his memory. There are other members of our class, too, whom we are glad to call our own. For instance, Antigone and Ismene, who are so inseparable that they remind one of part of that nursery rhyme: H One never said jack without saying jill. Then there is our little boyg such a bright little fellow as he is, and oh, what brilliant recitations he does make. Really, I fear one side of his brain will develop faster than the other. The English history side, I think it will be. His thirst for knowledge is quite amazing, as is also his ability for imparting it to the class. If it were not, I doubt if to this day we should know that the Armada was a big boat, that Adela married a French princess, that they found tears in Queen Mary's prayer-bookf' and several other essential facts in the history of our mother country. No doubt, sometime he intends to write a book of 'fairy tales. There is our rock-hearted lad, such a hard, hard heart he has! There is a rumor that a few Junior hearts were almost as hard as his on a memorable day last fall. But we mustn't mention that disgraceful UD event in the same paragraph with his name, for though his heart is of sfovze, in other respects he is a kind little boy. Ah! Sir Francis, methinks I see a merry twinkle in your eyes as I admire the violets of a certain ilaxen-haired maid. No, lassie, you need not blushg I would not make you feel embarrassed for the world. Cnr members are all illustrious in some line, but it does take so much room to tell of them that we must let it suffice to say we are a happy, sunny band, except one, who is very Frosty,' in more ways than one. This year has been a very pleasant one for us, and will, we trust, be one we shall look back upon, in our future life, with fond recollections. Not long ago the boys warmed our hearts with ice-cream. It was one Saturday evening, and some of the girls were saddened CPD because of the departure of some of their friends for a little more than twenty-four hours. How they welcomed its coming. K' The very room, coz if was in, Seemed warm from floor to ceiling. And then next in our minds rises that glorious feast of the Sophomore girls. How our mouths water as the visions of Old Goble, whom we rescued from the kitchen, Whither he had been taken, float before our eyes. The year is flying fast. Our work as Sophomores will soon be done, and when we return next year to take up the Junior respovzsi- bilzfzbs may we be better qualified for themg and however incomplete this year's Work may have been, we trust that We may so act that 1' each to-morrow finds us farther than to-day.

Please do not think by this history that we have not done sufficient things to expatiate extensively upon, but rather that of inability on my part to do justice to it. Our Worthy president comes first to my mind, but surely you must have heard of him. NVho has not observed his influence throughout the school P 'Next comes our vice-president, who is a friend to even the smallest. Mr. Chadsey, whose music has made him well-known to all, and who has so kindly helped us at many of the social gatherings, need hardly be introduced here. We trust that the enormous funds committed to Miss Marshalls care have not so worn her out as to prevent her from adorning the noble ranks of IQO3 for many a year. The end of the first term favored us with an addition to our class. We cannot understand now how vve possibly progressed Without Miss Garrett the first of the year, for certainly Mother For- tune smiled on us then. We are sorry that the eloquent reports of our secretary cannot be penned here, as they would add much to the history. Wfe must not leave out Miss Macomber in these annals, for we have found her to be the best doctor for the blues who has yet come to Friends School. Miss Collins, to Whom We gladly give the laurels for scholarship, must also be mentioned. Now I must tell you about our first class meeting. Please don't prepare to laugh, for indeed we are not like other Freshmen.

VVhat has been attained can best be estimated from the character and splendid abilities of its far-extending representative mem- bership. To directly attribute their success to the Phoenix would, no doubt, be presumptuousg yet we are confident that the man who learned to hold his own i11 debate, who learned to think clearly and quickly on his feet, must owe some part of a later suc- cess to the society. Because it is primarily a literary and debating society it hardly follows that all its members will become noted lecturers or states- men. But if the members attain that convincing dignity and that sincerity of speech which is imperative in all callings, they have, by aiming high, achieved true success. VVith these same ideals the present society has pushed forward. Although the membership enrollment is the fazggfsz' in the history of the Phoenix, each member has had good opportunities to show his abilities. Nor have these opportunities been lost. The debates and original literary work have not only been beneficial to the par- ticipants, but highly entertaining and instructive to the rest of the society. The decorum under all circumstances has been excellent. Indeed, we may say, with more truth than boasting, that the order of procedure and dignity of the regular meeting would be a credit to many of our municipal assemblies. If not strictly educational, certainly one of the most delightful occasions of the winter was the annual banquet. Far into the evening might be heard the songs, the short, brilliant speeches, the clink of lemonade glasses-all proclaiming a general good time. 11 The following toasts were proposed, Mr. Dunleavy acting as toastmaster : The Occasion, MR.

Our Guest QMr. Knoxl, MR CASE. It is too often the case that in a preparatory school the debating society holds a secondary place. The regular routine of lessons, the idea that a required amount of facts must be learned and remembered, have a tendency to make societies of less consequence from the teachers point of view. In Friends School, however, this is far from being the case. The society not merely has the support of the faculty as a whole, but it has the aid and assistance of each individual teacher. Yet the suc- cess of such an organization must depend upon the members them- selves. The School furnishes the opportunities, but every member must improve them. Aided by the hearty concurrence of the School, encouraged by the success of the past, may the present society and its successors put forth more strenuous efforts, may there even be more time and attention set aside for this most necessary factor of a finished education. And as the fabled Phoenix arose from the ashes of its predecessor, so let each real animate succeeding Phoenix rise from the ashes of its predecessor, ever the same society, yet greater.

Great souls by instinct to each other turn, Demand alliance, and in friendship burn. i T i Y HIS couplet expresses most perfectly the outline of the history of the Senior League. By common inclination and desire for companionship, the great souls of Senior dignity deserted their quiet QP? retreats on second corri- dor, and collected for the purpose of forming an alliance which should have high thinking for its object, and friendship dear for its ruling spirit. I I cannot say that we have reached the heights of thought which we saw before us, glorious and beautiful, like snow-capped moun- tains in the distance, but I can say that the fires of true friendship have ever burned warm and bright in all our meetings, the cheery glow continuing from meeting to meeting, lighting up all our cloudy days ,and increasing the happiness of our pleasant ones. It was the friendship kindled in the Senior League that made every moment so full of enjoyment, that filled every nook and corner of Senior corridor so full of a certain friendly atmosphere, that made visiting a constant necessity and delight, and the ceremony of say- ing good night a circumstance of such depth of emotion as would remind one of a scene on the wharf when a great Atlantic liner is about to go to sea. Our meetings-I wish I could give you even a faint idea of their interest. Our gracious president, ever solicitous for our comfort, with magic touches turns the meeting-place into a perfect little paradise of ease and beauty. Into this little retreat we gather, leaving our school cares and all vexatious behind, bringing with us only light hearts and that necessary attribute of a girl's existence- fancy work. Wotilcl all our sewing come under that head? Oh, no! Some plain and very useful work has also been done under the inspiration of the Senior League. Wliile our fingers deftly plied the needle our minds followed the adventures of Richard 1 , K P' vwipuivvf . .I-W Y,v ' g-it ,,-,M . .r' ' '1 1 ,, ww , 1 x .X j if feta 4 X ,, , -,HM - ,un .- A ' - -' -- - w.

At times, laying aside our sewing, we yielded ourselves entirely up to the story. Another time, through the kindness of two classmates in the opposite wing, we divided our attention with a basket of mellow apples, ripened to perfection in the generous air of Maine. In one meeting we had the pleasure of welcoming into the League, as honorary member, our dear friend Mrs. Battey. During our course here her loving influence has never ceased in its help- fulness toward us. The clasp of her hand, and her greetings, always full of sympathy and encouragement, have ever been an inspiration to happier and loftier ambitions. At the time of writing this little record the League has not nearly accomplished all its purposes. At the close of the year we expect to be able to tell you about our League feast, and a wedding which is already announced, also about our pleasure in entertaining the school-room girls. And so the year has passed. Our League has been a help and joy to us, and has bound us even more closely to the heart of our dear Alma Mater. No need for us to say Remember the League, for tender recollections of it will ever live with us, and, no matter how widely we stray from one another, our loyalty to the League and love for one another will continue the same. - EFEEEEEEEEEE R ' EEEEE EEEE .H A ' M, I ,fe Q-,f 91 I , wwf I 1MmI...egs,s,sessAH:IIlsW - - fi mmaeaasusis' m e Presz'a'e7zf, - - LUCY PIKE S6Cl'6fH7ll', - - ISABELLE DEALY MARION BIRDSALL MARION BONIJ, ISABELLE DEALY SOPHIA MACOMBER NELLIE PALMER LUCY PIKE, LOUISE SHARMAN GRACE SMITH flfewzbers. - Newburgh, N.
