2 2 THE TEMPLE OF LEARNING (Translated From Hieroglyphics.) The sun had not long lisen when I looked and, behold a caravan came toward the city. I asked a young man what it was, and whence it came. “ I hat, ’ said he, “is the tribe of Freshmen from the land of Grade-school, who are coming to the great Temple of Learning.-’ As they drew near I saw that there were 55 of them. They approached the Temple, some eagerly, some fearfully, some mirthfully and some sadly. I hey entered and the great door closed behind them. I wended my way to the lord of the Temple, and desired of him that I might join myself to that company which had enteied. He commanded a scribe to write my name on the scroll, and I was a member of that tribe of Fieshmen. Now every year a tribe came from the land of Gradeschool to be trained in the Temple of Learning, some to be scribes, some to be mighty men of war, others to be governors of provinces and lords, some to be astrologeis, and some to be merchants. As they toiled from morning to night, and the days came and went, and their hardships were great, some of the Freshmen repented then that they had come to the Temple of Learning. Now on a certain day the work of each was tried and tested, and some were sent away and others continued. And so the Freshmen became weary and as a consequence did make themselves a great feast and they all made merry together. And the Freshmen chose leaders from among them: Clifford Wyatt to be governor, Stanley Willis to be second governor, and Evelyn Fender scribe and keeper of the treasury. So their work was tried and tested again, and at length their training of the first year was accomplished. In the second year of their training they were called Sophomores and now their hardships were not so great. The Sophomores chose Harold Evans, governor; Ruth Stevenson to be second governor, and Ruth Frederick to be scribe and keeper of the treasury. At this time the Temple was destroyed and the Sophomores did have to go elsewhere for their work. But soon the Temple was re-built and behold it was a hundred times more magnificent. And before long their work was tried and tested again. When they saw that the Freshmen who came after them were weary, the Sophomores made a great feast and bade them to it, and made merry with them. And so after many days they we:e tested again and their training for the second year was finished. So, in the fall of the third year, they came to the Temple for their third OLD NOKOMIS
