WHITE, ’05 Salutation IN PRESENTING THIS BOOK the editors desire to thank those who, by their friendly interest and invaluable aid, have contributed so materially to the success of its production. With their kindly assistance we have attempted to set forth on these pages our daily life here at school. The character of the book must of necessity be local, but in this we believe will rest its chief charm. Our life here at school is one of constant change, of mingled pleasure and toil. Our yesterdays and todays sink rapidly into a dim, uncertain past, and we fix our eyes ever on the bright tomorrow. Yet, memory is ever young, and the remembrance of those former days, sacred with their happy associations, cannot fade away. But to our task. It is the purpose of this book to recall these events, many of which are, no doubt, yet vivid in our imaginations, and to fix them on these pages, that we may in some future day turn to them, and with brightened eye and glowing cheek, live again those joyous days of our youth.

The boys wore short trousers, and the girls wore short dresses, and their hair in braids. Miss Smith came early, soon followed by Miss Austin with her majestic swing. Miss Hadley’s substitute was attracting much attention at an early hour. Just before 8.30 the fourth teacher on the first floor, Miss Rhodes, came with a bodyguard of girls, and seemed in no more hurry than if school did not begin for another month. One could not help noticing that there were fourteen prospective class leaders, as could be seen by the cut of their chins. That piece of a boy, why that is ‘‘Spec” O’Connor; and that clothespin, why that is Cowen, six feet tall. There was a small group in one corner of Room 2, who paid no attention to the others, but were busily engaged in making words out of Greek letters, cut from cardboard. I afterwards learned their names. — They were Raymond, Baker, Morrison, Talmage, and Drake, and the latter was the architect of the letters. Mr. Cady, a substitute teacher with a quick temper, threatened to wipe up the floor with Roland Chase. This was one of the many diversions which made the year go quickly, while the vacation went even more quickly, and the next September one hundred and seventeen juniors assembled on the roof garden. Junior headquarters was in room 14 with Mr. Robert Marshall Brown, and his ‘‘Sunny Jim” smile, occupying the seat on the platform. Short trousers and short dresses were disappearing, and at the beginning of the present school year, there was just one member of the short trousers brigade left, ‘‘Spec” O’Counor. Mr. O’Leary, physiologist, has examined ‘‘ Spec,” and says he will never be any taller, although he has great chances of growing the other way. ‘‘Spec” is now dieting; a piece of cake half as large as himself every recess. He still hopes to increase in stature, and devours all books on the subject ‘‘ How to Grow Tall.” Cowen has also been examined by Mr. O’Leary, and found to be six feet four inches tall and still growing — just the converse of “‘Spec,” who is four feet six inches. Dallas Brown has developed into the best athlete in the school under the training of Prof. Wilde — office hours 8 to 8.30, recess, and 1.30 to 2. Colleges are waiting, with all sorts of flattering offers, for Brown to graduate. Hollihan is a man of responsibility this year; member of the athletic committee, manager of the base ball team. and first lieutenant of the cadets. Sam Bentley made his debut this Spring as a ball player, and covers third base with credit. Lumiansky had a pretty good opinion of himself when he entered the High School, but this opinion Oy) has kept pace with his advance toward a diploma. He is a promising orator for next year’s graduation. Mary Morrison played the piano for the class the first year, and became so proficient that she now plays in the orchestra. The only soloist to date, Joao Carlos da Silva Pitta, Jr., left school to marry his ‘‘bonny lies over the ocean,” leaving the position of telephone boy vacant. ‘ Pete’ Cushman and his band will long be remembered by their fond teachers. Garside left his class and joined this class, as he considered it worthy of him. Wing from South Dartmouth also joined this class; he is strongly opposed to labor unions, and spends a full ten hours at the High School every day, so as to get his money’s worth. When it is muddy, and he rides his bicycle to school, he may be seen taking a bath in the sink about 7.30. Miss Dunbar flirted somewhat with seniors during her freshman year, but now she flirts with them all the time. ‘‘Sporty ” Lewis made a gallant struggle in that sixteen to one class, but he finally gave up as his predecessor, William Jennings Bryan, did. Mabel Sanford’s stentorian voice can be heard blocks away without the least difficulty, but in order to hear Cowen’s hard luck stories, one needs an ear trumpet, possibly because of the altitude from which his voice comes. Misses Vincent and Brownson challenge anyone in the school to a talking match. Charlotte Rex and ‘‘Tata” Sherman have a doctor’s certificate, forbidding more than fifteen minutes’ outside study a day. The debating Club is the one organization that is controlled by the Sub- Senior Class. They have already decided all the important questions of the day, and now ask the assistance of outsiders to meet their only difficulty, subjects for debate next year. The sifting process has reduced us to sixty, but these few are sustaining the dignity of the class in all of the various organizations. They are prepared to take up the mantle of senior dignity, soon to be laid down by ’05, and to see that it does not lose lustre or color while they wear it, for one short year. 36 CaleAS SS OF NIN ED EEN HeUSNED eRe AND SE en a ae Class of Tb ( Colors — Black and Gold ) OPRFICERS.

Of course, in this class, as well as in most others, there are a few sad ones. For instance, take the country lass who now sits in Room Fourteen, and in spite of the fact that he walks as though he had swallowed a ramrod, and has a complexion like some girls who stand behind the door and pinch their cheeks, we hope that he will turn out to be something wonderful. However, God made him, and therefore let him pass for a man. | The question has often been asked why Miss Rugg talks so much. This is very easily answered if one stops to think that the empty vessel makes the most noise. However, they are not all like these two. It is known by everybody that Ryder has an inclination for designing. Judging from appearances, he must have received the position of designer for the ‘“‘Rex Monumental Works” This inference is drawn from the fact that frequently on his desk is seen a folded paper bearing the name ‘‘ Rex” on the outside. We could not imagine it to be anything except business, because it is written during school hours. HERE LIES CLIFFORD SWIFT, ® A DEPARTED THIS LIFE JUNE 1, 1905, DURING PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE. AN Although the Butler of Room Fourteen was during the first year known as a hard-shelled crab, he has softened up somewhat. There is still a chance for improvement. If the old saying that ‘‘ Practice makes perfect” still holds, we have great hopes of Taber becoming a great violinist. From appearances, he rehearses regul arly every Monday afternoon with the H.S. orchestra. There is one queer thing, however. He lives on Mill street [or says he does], and he has always been seen with the instrument either on County or east of County street. He is never alone after rehearsal. If be should ever have an accident which would deprive him of the use of his hands and arms, he would still have one thing to fall back on, namely, his voice. Perhaps some did not know that Elliot used to sing, but he did, and his favorite piece was, ‘‘O, Lillian, Why Don’t I Grow ?” There is one case in the class which is worthy of note. It concerns a young lady, who is either smarter than the ordinary, or is interested in the collection of junk. She wears class pins from every out-of-town school which ever happened, but we fail to see the pin of the class to which she belongs. By the way, we are sorry for Cunniff, ’05, to see that he now belongs to the class of ’07. There are few classes, with the exception of this year’s Senior Class, which are favored with such a mountain of foolishness as Miss Baker affords. Gone, but not forgotten. Our most highly honored William C. Tanner, who left school last summer in search of harder work than he was able to find at the High School, is now demonstrating a car about which, in his own estimation, he is well posted. He very seldom wears a hat, as he has constant trouble in finding one large enough. He is known among the employes of the station as ‘‘the boy chaffer.” Do not think that these are all who deserve comment, but there is not time to criticise everybody. 42 CalgAL SIS Onk INGLSIN GE Les EN Jel (Gl INP IO) RE Jae aN GED) SEVEN Class of ‘I.

Mason, Privs. Broadbent, Hnos, Swift, F. H. Winship, Jr., F. Winship and Walsh, and Musicians Almy, Doane, Eaton, White and Wood, left New Bedford on the 8.10 boat, Thursday morning, July Sth. The tents were pitched by supper time, and from that time until camp was broken up, no regular camp duty was performed, a general good time being the order. Monday night, July 5th, the Cadets celebrated the 4th, much to the surprise and horror of the natives. The fireworks used were a shipment from New Bedford, and not one of the pieces had yet assumed the drowsiness of those used in pyro- technical exhibitions by the inhabitants. Tuesday was spent in trying to ‘start something,’ and it is only just to say that things ‘started’ rather hard, but all enjoyed themselves in the attempt, at least. Wednesday evening the Cadets attended a show given in the Museum, which will long be remembered, not especially for either its scenic or spectacular pro- ductions, but for the fine acting and singing on the part of the leading lady. After clearing the floor of chairs, stools, benches, etc., dancing was enjoyed until after midnight. Music was furnished by an orchestra of two pieces, fiddle and piano; the latter, no doubt, was an instrument invented by some early explorer. Thursday the ball team representing the Springfield House was defeated by our nine. Score, 28 to 2. The victory was celebrated in the evening by a Chamariti, which lasted until nearly sunrise, much to the displeasure of the man on the opposite side of the road. This unhappy person caused a warrant to be issued for the arrest of the entire Company, but upon the promise of Instructor Baudoin that quiet should prevail during the rest of the week, the judge agreed to let us go free. The question still unsettled is: ‘‘Where was Instructor Baudoin on the evening of Thursday, June 7th, 1904, and how did he sleep ?”’ Friday was a day of quiet and rest. On Saturday morning camp was broken, and who of those who went can say that they did not enjoy the week ? Still, Enos was feeling rather blue most of the time, evenif he did win ten or twenty pennies from Doane in a wholeday. Davis ought to know by this time 68 that the street lights in Nantucket are all turned out at 1 a. m. daily. Still, it is fine exercise to walk in the dark, especially when accompanied by one of the fair sex. Let us hope that Browne can by this time tell the difference between Almy’s hand and that of a “‘biscuit-tosser.” Yes, Mason and Winship, Jr., were really bad boys — out walking late at night, sitting on lonely walls; really, they do like the girls of Nantucket. Tastes vary greatly. Now, there is Broadbent; he likes to sleep one in a tent. Sistare had rather have a kitten for company than a girl. Almy is of the opinion that a girl suits him better; and Walsh, as one might say, is the “‘happy medium.” Doane and Eaton, the ‘“‘sports,” on some occasions will pass the time of day, or perhaps speak about the weather with one of the ladies, but generally a good smoke and perhaps “‘something on the side” suits them better. Swiftis funny ; it is rather hard to please him, but still he is full of fun. Woodcouldn’t forget that “‘she” was at Cottage City, and so had to stop on the way home. White — that reckless reprobate — was into every kind of mischief as usual, and spent much of his time in making love to those Nantucket girls. 69 THE BVENTFUL CRUISE OF THE GOOD SHIP, N.

T ANY and every season, there is no other (placemuueee Maine. Nowhere else are the woods so fresh and green; nowhere else do the birds sing so cheerily or the pines smell so sweet. But: fairest of all fair seasons, there, is the early autumn, that serene time after the fervid heat of summer, when the fruit hangs ripe on the trees, the golden grain stands ready for the reaper, and Nature rests a bit from her labor — rests -before she goes to sleep. At this peaceful season, during the last quiet days of August, there comes rudely to your mind the thought that you must soon leave the beauty of the autumn, and go back to the dust and hurry of city life. Putting this unwelcome thought as far from your mind as the short time will allow, you and father and the boys resolve to make a last expedition to the woods. ! If you are the oldest of the children, four o’clock in the morning of the day appointed for your journey will find you oiling carriages — such things seem never to be done the night before — hunting for stray pieces of harness, and filling all the available “‘crocus-bags” with hay for the horses. The sun is just appearing above the rosy horizon; a white mist hangs over the low meadows; and the chill morning air makes you shiver a bit as you throw on the harnesses. Provincial for ‘‘ berlap-bags.’”’ 86 When the lunch has been packed, the dunnage has been stowed in the wagons, aud the horses have been harnessed, you are ready for your journey. As you are on the point of setting out, you will probably find that the off fore-shoe on the light horse is loose. You find the nearest blacksmith in the potatoe-patch, and induce him to leave his digging and reset the shoe. This done, you go on your way rejoicing. If fortune has favored you, you will be on the road by seven o'clock. The birds are singing; a light breeze rustles the silver poplar ; and the faint, pungent odor of dew-wet-alder is in the air. As you drive along — your feet tucked under you to make room for a roll of blankets, the lantern swinging underneath the wagon, ¢ the coffee-pot rattling merrily against the frying pan, and the “clop, clop” of the horses’ feet on the soft country road, you feel with Browning that Daviseay Ley Iori. Morning’s at seven ; God’s in his heaven — All’s right with the world. The roadsides are gay with golden-rod, golden asters and Joe- pie-weed, and splashes of color in the woods tell you that Jack Frost has already begun his autumn’s work. There is much to see and much to hear along the way. You drive now along a smooth, straight road, through whispering birches ; now you jolt over a stony road across a stretch of burnt land, where the slender fire-weed bears its flaming torch among the ferns and shimmering birch bushes. You cross the “head of the river,’ where the woodland brook rushes madly down over the rocks; you climb steep hills; you pick your way down steeper ones, you pass a railroad station, and a post-office, and a low, white schoolhouse under a hill, a Colloquial for ‘‘ baggage.” new barn, a barn with striped doors, and one with a plaid roof. The driver of a farm-wagon, jolting on his way to market, calls out a cheery greeting, and you may meet a buxom country lass who arouses the boys’ interest, or even a country lad, some “horny-handed son of toil,” on his way to the harvest-field. The sun grows higher and hotter; the breeze dies down, and it is mid-day. You have lunch by a brookside, and then search the undergrowth in the hope of finding a clump of waxen ghost flowers, pale “forest nuns,’ whose heads are “ever bent as if in prayerful mood.” Or you lounge in the shade, listening to the singing of the brook among the alders, and thinking that perhaps zoon is the best time, when the sun shines his warmest, the bees hum drowsily, and the locusts “click” their delight. A blue dragon-fly on buzzing wing hovers over the water; the song of the red-start comes thrilling down from the birch overhead ; a warbler flits from limb to limb, uttering little chirps of friendship; and a solitary crow swings on the topmost branch of yonder pine, uttering at intervals his lonesome cry, the first minor note in the great symphony of nature — the first vague prophecy of the coming winter. You resume your journey, and drive through the long, sunny afternoon. The sun sinks lower; the breeze freshens; the song of a thrush rings out upon the still air. The hills become steeper, the country more rocky. At length the horses gain the crest of the last hill, and before you lies the lake, bathed in all the splendor of an autumn sunset. A faint bird-trill, somewhere in the dark woods, welcomes you to camp. You pick your way down the stony hill, lit with yellow mullen candles, and following the line of the shore, come with dusk upon a little Mrs. Dana’s ‘‘ How to Know the Wild Flowers.”’ 88 log-cabin, looking out over the quiet water to the blue mountains. The horses cared for, you swallow your supper, and leaving the beauties and wonders of the lake to be explored in the morning, you tumble into your bunk. Half-consciously, you hear the lap of. the water, the whisper of the evening breeze, the maniac laugh of the loon swimming alone far on the lake, the indistinct “ticking” of the borers at work in the spruce logs of the camp, and then — you sleep. Some time during the night a squirrel scampers across the roof ; you hear the horses stamping restlessly, and again you catch the faintest twittering of the birds under the eaves. As the gray dawn steals over the earth, you shake yourself awake, and finding father already busy with the breakfast, you scamper down to the lake for a dip in the icy water. There follow days of rare sport. Bass and perch are plentiful, or, if you choose, you may fish for chub from the little boat pier. You may spend much of your time disentangling your line, only to re-entangle it, or extricating your hook from father’s cap, or Johnnie’s sweater, or your own back. But, happy fisherman that you are, you don’t mind such little annoyances, and many a patient hour do you spend with hook and line. You have fish for dinner, and fish for supper, and fish again for breakfast; but not a word of protest is offered, for each time you are a little hungrier than ever before, and a little less critical of what is set before you. In the twilight hours you row along the shore, now gliding among the lily-pads, now drifting in the shadow of a frowning ledge. Now, for a moment, you rest upon your oars to listen to the unspeakable quiet of nature. Not a leaf stirs; the water washing the shore makes no sound ; 89 the honey-seeking bees have abandoned their quest. The woods are dim and vast; the water is dark and quiet, and the western sky is warmed by the faintest afterglow of sunset. Above and around all are the silence and the deepening shadows, slowly closing over everything. A fish jumps, sending circles widening and rippling to the shore ; a thrush sings in the distance, and its song, dying away into the night, makes the silence seem but the deeper. When the night air becomes too chill, you turn back to the camp, and, seated before the fire, listen to father’s stories and laugh at them, though you know them every one by heart. By the third day the more restless spirits have had enough bass and perch fishing, and, with your baggage on your back, you and a companion set off ’cross country in search of adventure, and in the hope of finding the fisherman’s delight, a trout-brook. For the most of the way you must make your own path. As you are in no haste, you loiter by the way, breathing the flower-scented air; stopping to watch a bee at work upon an aster, and whistling to the ”) blue-jay who is making such a clamor over nothing. As the law is ‘‘on, you will probably “scare up” a flock or two of fine young partridges; a rabbit scurries away into the underbrush; and again, you stop to watch two chipmunks playing tag in an old pine-tree. And you wonder to yourself what they think of, alone there in the forest, and if they know who made for them the trees, and the sky, and the fertile earth, or if they accept His bounty without a thought of the Good Giver. You may chance upon a spring of water bubbling pure and cold from beneath the roots of a fallen tree. The blackberries are ripe and seem to invite you to eat them, and the squirrels will spare you a handful of hazel-nuts from yonder thicket. gO By noon you are well into the woods, and anon you come out to the open upon a weird, red marsh. The soft, spongy moss is covered with a low growth of bushes, and tall, gaunt, weather-beaten stumps stand like sentinels on the barren spot. Leaving your baggage in the edge of the woods, you thread your way to the little river that glides and winds so silently across the barren heath. As you go, you notice the cup-like leaves of the pitcher-plant and the round, downy leaves of the cannibal droscera, fit inhabitants of the lonely marsh. A few stray asters nod to their reflections in the brook, and here and there a yellow water-lily dares to push aside the lily-pads and look around. You search out the dark, still pools where the spotted trout love to lurk, and crouching low, lest they see you, cast your fly or worm again and again, sometimes to land your fish, again only to lose your bait or catch your hook in a fallen log. Sunset finds you still patiently angling, But at length weary, you retrace your steps to the edge of the woods, and in the gathering dusk make preparations for supper. Pine-knots make a crackling fire, and soon the coffee-pot, hanging from a forked stick, is sending forth ambrosial odors; potatoes are roasting beneath the coals, and speckled trout are sputtering merrily in the frying-pan. Tonight you sleep under the stars, close to the good, kind earth, breathing the odor of the pines and lulled by the whisper of the breeze. Stevenson says of a night a-field, +All night long you can hear nature breathing deeply and freely; even as she takes her rest she turns and smiles.” He tells us, too, that there is one waking time in the night when all nature stirs, and sighs, and drops to sleep again. His words come vaguely to you as, under the common impulse, you, too, stir and “look upon the beauty of the night.” You hear the sleepy twittering of a bird in the tree above you and the bark of a fox in the distance, and you know that, like you, these wild creatures have felt the strange, wakeful Known as ‘‘ dog-lily,’’ ‘‘ cow-lily,’’ and ‘‘ moose-lily.”’ + From ‘‘ A Night in the Pines” (A Trip with a Donkey). OI influence. What calls all nature at this mystic hour? No one knows — none can even guess. The next morning you shoulder your baggage and trudge back to the little camp by the lake. On the morrow you leave the little cabin to the solitude of the woods, and climbing the steep hill, wend your way homeward. As you near the old farm-house, the sun has just set behind the dark line of woods; the after-glow in the west melts into the blue above; the long shadows stretch across the field; and it 1s that time between afternoon and evening which is neither. Then it isthat you know sumsez is the best time— home-coming time. g2 “To err is human, to forgive divine.” — Faculty.

Oe ONWeltkes to be ull” butel- aur sure’ that. if-you stop to think, you will be glad that you can be ill now rather than a century ago. Suppose, for instance, you were to be so unfortunate as to dislocate your shoulder. Had you, lived a hundred years or more earlier, your treatment might have been like that of the inhabitant of Dartmouth. (Massachusetts) who met with the same mishap. He was held down firmly by some men who had once been his friends while the “surgeon” pried the bone back into place with a crowbar. But if the accident happens today, how different will be your treatment! You will go quietly to sleep with an ether cone over your nose, and when you wake the shoulder will be in its natural position, and your part will be merely to wait till it is well enough for use. During the past century, not only has the science of surgery been practically built up from the foundation, and wonderful discoveries have been made in medical work, but there has been great progress in accessory branches. The invalid of a hundred years ago had few comforts. His bed was a bundle of rags or straw, more or less clean and well covered according to his rank and wealth; or it might have been a feather-bed, in which he sank from sight as effectually as if he were already dead and buried. His room was freezing cold in winter, and nearly impossible to heat well, and it was often hot and stuffy in summer. The invalid of today is privileged to sleep on an 2p Ostermoor Felt Mattress, and his room is heated by steam or hot air. Bad as the sanitary conditions are in some places today, they were infinitely worse everywhere then. Next to the Bubonic plague no disease was more dreaded by our forefathers than small pox. In England alone it claimed as many victims as all the other diseases put together. More than half the people who took the disease died; the others were disfigured for life. In 1798, Edward Jenner noticed that milkmaids accidentally inocculated with the virus from cattle suffering with cow-pox, a disease very much like small-pox, occurring only in cattle, were ever afterwards immune to small-pox. This was the beginning of his investigations, which led Jenner to the discovery of vaccination, one of the greatest blessings of humanity. The virus is taken from the vesicles of a calf suffering from cow-pox, kept in tiny sealed tubes, and put on a place on a person from which part of the skin has been scratched off. If the vaccination “takes,’ the person is safe from small-pox. We can imagine what a stir Jenner’s discovery made in England, how bitterly opposed some people were to it, how enthusiastic others were over it, how timid most people were to try this strange new method of preventing disease. But it was tried, and it was proved, and Jenner must be classed as one of the great benefactors of the human race. We are thankful that today vaccination 1s as common as eating and sleeping in most parts of the globe. Scarcely less marvellous. than vaccination is the anti-toxin treatment of diphtheria. Anti-toxin is obtained in the following manner:—A horse is given hypodermically a small dose of toxin, or diphtheria poison. The first dose1s apt to make him father jill eeine gradually the dose can be increased without any bad effects until the horse is rendered immune to very large doses. Then the horse is bled, and the 96 serum taken from his blood forms anti-toxin. Given in hypodermic injections to a diphtheria patient, it destroys the toxin caused by the diphtheria germs. Anti-toxin has not only this curative result, but also a preventative one; but its preventative effect is temporary, not lasting, like that of vaccination. Perhaps some day some one will discover a way of making it lasting. Experiments are being made to find similar kinds of treatment for typhoid, leprosy, erisipelas, dysentery, tuberculosis, and other dreaded maladies. It is possible, even -probable,. that in another century school children will be required to show not only a vaccination for small-pox, but one for each of the other diseases, or possibly a sort of combination vaccination for all of them. Today the disease that claims the most victims is consumption— the great white plague. The new methods of treating it with sunlight and fresh air have been proved very efficient.. So many good articles have appeared in recent magazines, telling of the work of various sanitariums, that I shall not spend more time upon it. No funny paper today is without its joke about appendicitis “the modern pain,” as “The Foolish Dictionary” has it, “costing two hundred dollars more than an old-fashioned stomach-ache.” Sufferers with appendicitis, however, are usually only too glad to pay their two hundred dollars for the relief it brings them. But is appendicitis a new disease? No, indeed. Victims of this disease used to be called victims of peritonitis, or of inflammation of the bowels. The inflammation is only in the appendix, and when that is removed the patient becomes well again. There are sometimes complications that make the disease a nasty one to deal with, but, as a rule, a patient operated on within twenty-four hours after the outbreak of the trouble is sure of ‘recovery, and many get well who do not have the operation till later. a7 Surgery is the newest of all the great sciences. It has been practically perfected in the last half century. Miracles are performed daily by the great surgeons all over the world. There is scarcely a cavity in the body where the surgeon’s knife has not penetrated; it has entered even the brain cavity, though its work there has been less successful than in other places. It has performed the most delicate tasks, as well as the most simple ones. Although the old adage, “Haste makes waste,” may sometimes be as true in surgery as in other things, it is as important for the best operators to be able to work very quickly as to have a clear eye and a skillful hand. Seventy-five years ago, a doctor who resorted to operating was considered little better than a murderer; the patient who consented to undergo an operation felt that life was impossible without it. Today there are still people who have a horror of operations, but they are not the majority. There was a time, mot so very long ago, when surgeons operated with the slightest cause, but now they behave more rationally. What has caused ‘this great change in operating =a) oes two things —— anaesthetics and antiseptics. Anaesthesia is that which renders a person insensible to pain, usually ‘by putting him to sleep for a time, It is in constamtumee today, so that it is hard to realize how terrible the suffering must have been during operations before they could use ether and similar things. When it was absolutely necessary to perform an operation, the patient was usually thoroughly drugged with opium and then given liquor until he was practically “‘dead drunk.” Even then, he could | still feel some pain, and moreover, it took a long time to overcome the effects of this strange anaesthetic. About 1840, one Morton, a Boston dentist, discovered ether, the first anaesthetic. Dr. Morton experimented upon himself and a few 98 friends, and at last proved that ether was just what was needed to do away with the pain of a surgical operation. It was put to use successfully in the Massachusetts General Hospital. Then other hospitals took it up, and it is now in universal use. Dr. Morton was not the only man who was experimenting with ether, although it is generally admitted that he was its discoverer. Connecticut doctors, however, give the credit to Horace Wells, of that State. It is a point tuey are never tired of disputing, and. they often get very much excited in discussing it. Not long after the discovery of ether, Sir James G. Simpson, of Edinburgh, discovered chloroform. The other kinds of anaesthetics in common use today are gas and chloride of ethyl, the latter being used now extensively by dentists in place of gas, as it is quicker and more convenient and efficient. Antiseptics are those things by which wounds are kept free from poisoning bacteria. Before their discovery, every wound, whether accidental or made during an operation, was sure to supperate before it healed. What were called ‘‘ the infectious diseases of wounds ”’ were as “common as wounds themselves. Supperation, the formation of pus, was the most common form of these infectious diseases. Other kinds, all more or less dangerous, were erysipelas, hospital gangrene, septicaemia (blood poisoning) and tetanus (lock-jaw). If, by any chance, a wound healed without supperating, by “first intention,” as it was called, the occurrence was considered quite wonderful. More | people died as the result of thes e infectious diseases than from the wound itself. For example, during the Crimean War, the death rate in the hospitals was 60% and over. It was believed that it was the natural and proper way for wounds to supperate in this way. O° Joseph Lister, an English doctor, conceived the theory that the infectious diseases of wounds were not necessary steps in the healing of a wound, but were caused by bacteria in the air coming in contact with the surface of the wound. He discovered carbolic acid and first made use of it. Although he was knighted for his great work in science, the other English doctors, with characteristic pig-headedness, would: not take up the use of carbolic acid. It was left to the Germans to make-.a success of it. For-some time, surgeons operated andes carbolic spray, a method very trying to all concerned. It was a German, Robert Koch by name, who made a science of bacteriology by introducing solid culture media. That is, he devised a way of cultivating colonies of bacteria in jelly-like substances, so that they were not mixed together as in liquids. Then he could study the development of different kinds of bacteria, the conditions under which they thrived, and the means of killing them. The Japanese scientists have made many interesting discoveries in this line, aiding materially American and European bacteriologists. The modern theory is that the infectious diseases of wounds are caused by bacteria coming into contact with the wound, not from the air, but from the dressings, instruments, hands and clothes of the surgeons and attendants, and from the skin of the patient himself. Consequently, the modern method of dealing with these diseases and preventing them is by keeping everything around them surgically clean, a state of: cleanliness ,which 1s ;truly =next to) eodimiess: Everything that can be boiled is boiled ; dressings, sutures, ligatures and other things that can not be boiled are subjected to superheated steam under pressure; the patient, surgeons and nurses are scrubbed so thoroughly that you wonder there is anything left to go through the operation; and everything that can not be cleansed in one of these TOO ways is sterilized in some other way. Today the infectious diseases of wounds are almost unknown. When one does occur it is a dangerous symptom. The death-rate has correspondingly decreased, till now it is very small. As all eyes are now turned upon the Japanese, wit may not” be amiss to mention some of their medical work. In every department, Japan’s preparations for war were masterly and thorough, and _ her medical staff is the finest in the world. The Japanese realized that in war five men die of disease for every one killed by missiles, and they resolved that every man who died in their army would die on the battle-field. The best possible care is given their men. The ration problem, for instance, has been thoroughly worked out, and the men are allowed the proper amount of the proper kinds of food. A medical officer is at the head of every expedition, testing and marking wells and provisions of all kinds. So great is the respect of the men for the medical officer’s mandates that, no matter how thirsty they are, they will not touch a drop of water from a well which they are forbidden by him to touch. The work in the Japanese hospitals is so well done that at the Reserve Hospital at Hiroshima, where nearly ten thousand cases were received up to August rst, only thirty-four died. “To July 20,” says Major Seaman, ‘the hospital ship Hakuai Maru alone, in her seven trips, brought 2,406 casualties from the front without losing a single case in transit.” In every particular with regard to the medical work in the army, Japan leads the world. It is a Japanese proverb that ‘there is nothing so terrible as the yellow cap (that worn by the Japanese infantry), and nothing so worthy of veneration as the green cap” (worn by the medical and surgical staff). When we stop to think of the grand work done all over the world by the wearers of the green cap, I think we will all agree with the last part of the proverb, at least.

H ERE was once a little white schoolhouse that was almost surrounded by pine woods. On _ the south and east and west the green wall shut it in. On one side there was a grove of young ‘“ pasture-pines,” and ) here the girls played “house,” finding delightful rooms among the low-growing branches. But this was only of the true forest. That stretched acre upon acre through swamp and — level and upland, cut here and there by lonely roads or broken by solitary farms, but rolling on for miles. There was little underbrush; the trunks rose sharply from the thick carpet of fallen needles and lifted their plumy crests high in air, so that the listener below heard the wind rushing past, as if it were an echo of something far away. Some trees were rough, and gnarled and knotty; some straight and clean-cut, mounted up, up, till they seemed to brush the blue sky lightly with their green tips. Partridge vine crept over the smooth, brown floor, and traced a delicate pattern on the velvety background. Along paths where the sun shone in, mayflowers blossomed in spring and faintly perfumed the air with their precious scent. In the fall, when the breeze was crisp and had ‘a tang that said winter was close at hand, there. were boxberries. They grew on sunny hillsides that the children knew well and haunted till the snow covered the bright fruit. TO4 They may forget all that they learned in the little shoolhouse, but the memories of that fragrant playground they can never lose. They did not fully appreciate it then, but bye-and-bye they will gratefully remember what a privilege it was to play amid such surroundings. One day a steam saw-mill was brought to a particularly charming spot; trees were felled, a yawning pit of a well dug, and a slab shanty thrown together. For a year the saw shrieked and screamed its way through thousands of noble trees, and, as day after day went by, a wilderness gradually took the place of all the former peace and beauty. When its deadly task was done the monster departed for fresh forests to devour, leaving behind a mass of rubbish and a vast pile of sawdust. Where one year ago pine that had lived and grown for fifty years towered majestically, now bare and desolate country extends. Where once the wind rustled musically through their feathery tops, now it blows contemptuously past a few tottering wrecks, senile shadows of their former selves, that lean decrepitly, waiting for a merciful gale to uproot them and hide their shame. Now heaps of dead and rotting limbs hide the partridge vine and mayflowers; the boxberries no longer entice children. However, all these will come again soon. A few years will see all the tiny wild things peeping out as bravely as ever from under the crumbling boughs. But will a few years restore the fallen’ pine trees ? Will they rise again as before? No, an upstart growth of scrub-oaks will flaunt their scraggly branches as if to mock their kingly predecessors. Unfortunately this is not a single case. All over this part of the country steam saw-mills are carrying on their nefarious work and bearing ruin with them. Every few miles the tearing crash of the saw may be heard, and its sharp, glittering teeth seem to be consuming all the beauty that once reigned supreme. 105 The forests have not been in such danger long. Only since the rise of the traveling saw-mill has it threatened. Up to twenty-five years ago the growth nearly, if not quite, equaled the quantity cut, and of course as long as this condition prevailed there was nothing to fear. It is true that nearly every stream had its saw-mill, but it ran only in the winter and spring, when the water was high. It was often a picturesque feature of the scene—the soft gray of the shingles reflected below on a surface, brown and placid, till it tumbled over the rocky dam in a smother of foam aud spray. In those days, men who owned logs planned to have a certain number cut into boxboards and “length-stuff” every year. Perhaps the real. reasou of their moderation was that no tree under eight inches, mean diameter, was taken. Many men did not even go so far as that. The intelligent and careful owner went over his woodland each year and picked out certain trees that had passed their period of rapid growth. Unconsciously, he practiced the best and truest kind of forestry. But the increased demand for boxboards ushered in the portable steam mill, whose arrival meant devastation. The usual method at present is for a mill-owner to buy all the timber on a large “lot ’ —the larger pines for boxboards, the rest for firewood. He then approaches the owners of neighboring lots with tempting offers. He will pay a good price — ‘‘take everything down to four znches.”’ ‘They are spared all the trouble of carrying their logs to mill, for the mill-owner’s teams do that, and in fact all they have to do is receive their money. Men are so fascinated by the generous sums paid and the ease with which they may dispose of their property that they would have to be rooted and grounded in the principles of forestry to resist. There are circumstances when even such destruction may be pardoned. When the old father sacrifices the pines that he has watched 106 grow since his boyhood, that he may send his daughter to college or his son to ‘T’ech., he may be forgiven. When he says, “My pines — cut into boxboards !”’ we know that necessity, not a mere desire to see the lot “cleaned up,” impells him. But what shall we say when the enlightened City of New Bedford sells its pines on the slopes of Quittacas in the same reckless fashion ?” Imagine our landscapes stripped of their pine forests, with bleak and naked tracts supplanting spacious groves! We can scarcely realize what it would be to miss the dark green boughs bending under a weight of snow in winter, or forming a background for the young and tender ‘tints of spring. Even a careless observer cannot deny that pines are beautiful. The most practical farmer will admit that a tall, magnificent ’ while to the real nature tree, straight of trunk and limb, is “ pretty,’ lover there is nothing in the world more wonderful and restful than the pine woods. If a person is happy, they murmur a cheery little accompaniment to his mood; if ‘‘ blue,” they whisper a soft, sympathetic chorus that imperceptibly smooths away the worries. Lowell says: emerrines’. | 4 ..- are the best friends I know ; They mope, ’n sigh, ’n sheer your feelin’s so ; They hesh the ground beneath..... ‘ This “heshing the ground beneath” has its own peculiar charm. Maybe it is some long-forgotten savage instinct that makes us like to walk noiselessly among the trees, with every sense alert for bird-song or scurry of tiny feet. It is with a feeling of humiliation that we, the people of the United States, must look upon this wholesale slaughter, for no other civilized nation would permit it. We pride ourselves on our systematic war against prevailing evils and on our up-to-date methods. Yet, without protest, we countenance an increasing peril. Bigelow Papers. 107 Hundreds and hundreds of years ago in pagan Rome, Ancus Martius proclaimed the forests imperial domain, and appointed officers whose duty it was to care for.them. As early as the eighth century, the wild and savage Germans made laws restricting the gathering of wood from the communal forest. Only a specified amount could be taken each year, and the choicest must be used with discretion, lest the supply fail. England, in the sixteenth century, planted saplings to take the place of trees cut, and passed regulations requimiee scientific cutting. All these examples of times commonly regarded as rude, if not uncivilized, put to shame our advanced and progressive country. Today, France, Belgium, and Germany, all practice forestry - on an extended scale, and so skilful is the management that not only does the production not decrease, but increases. Not that the United States Government is indifferent; it has established a bureau of forestry and is doing everything in its power to help the private owner. Upon request anyone may have tlie services of an expert forester without charge. He will go over the ground,. measure the rate of growth, reckon how much the lot is producing, and how much may be cut a year without lessening the value of the standing timber. He will also give advice as to what trees should be felled, and how. But it is to be feared that the average New England farmer would laugh at the idea of being told what trees to cut. The responsibility les with the individual States. Until they unite and give close attention to the subject, there can be no permanent relief. Several Western States have passed laws granting a bounty for tree-planting, but this method has not found favor in the East. Even our own State, usually so quick to see and correct an evil, simply contents itself with advzszng citizens to re-forest waste lands. 108 The tree lover realizes that trees are property, and that they are legitimate objects of trade. He does not protest against moderate and judicious cutting, which is necessary for the welfare of the timber remaining, but against unlimited devastation. The latest word of forestry is, “A lot can be kept continually in pine if enough old seed-bearing trees are left in suitable locations.” Information like this is needed by the people. It is not sufficient that they are able to get advice and help on application, for until they are more interested than they are now, they will neglect this aid. Enthusiastic teachers must arouse their feeling and keep them awake to their own interests. Very likely wood-owners will not take kindly to this continual oversight and supervision, for it is said that no one over forty is willing to accept new ideas. If the older ones will not listen, the burden falls upon the young people and the children, and they must be taught to appreciate the pine woods, to love them, and to fight against their denudation. Dr. Holmes once said in the case of a certain patient that the treatment should have been given to his grandfather. If our grand- fathers had been taught the ‘‘art of farming or cultivating forests, or of managing growing timber,” we should not have to mourn our vanishing pine woods. Let us hope that the time will come when the owner will cherish his woods, re-forest his waste land, and care for his seed-bearing pine trees as for his choice fruit trees. 109 Che High School Rlanger.
