THE GOLDEN ROD. To the mercy of Heaven descending on earth. The mission of woman; permitted to bruise The head of a serpent and sweetly infuse Through the sorrow and sin of earth’s registered curse The blessing which mitigates all: born to nurse And to soothe and to solace, to help and to heal The sick world that leans on her.” —Annie J. Eaton. SCISSORS. Those who labor with their minds, rule. The largest bay in the world is Hudson bay, which measures 850 miles north and south, by 600 miles in width. Miriam, sister of Moses ; Mary, mother of Jesus ; Cadijah, the first wife of Mahomet; and Fatima, his daughter, are spoken of as the “Four Perfect Women.” Dean Alford originated the phrase, “Call a spade a spade.” As first used, the phrase was, “Call a spade a spade ; not an oblong im- plement of agricultural industry.” “Adieu” signifies “To God I commend you.” “Goodby” is a contraction of “God be with you,” while “Farewell” means “Be hap- py,” or more literally, “May you journey well.” “In the circumstances” is the correct form. The idea is “with- in,” or “among,” and in no sense “under.” But universal good usage has made “under” allowable, and it is used by those who men- tally protest every time. The Jews said “from Dan to Beersheba.” The Persians say “from Medina to Mecca.” The English “from Land’s End to John o'Groat’s.” The Yankee says “from Maine to Texas.” The Southerner says “from Florida to Alaska.” The Sucker and the Hoosier say “from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.” The South Ameri- can says “from the Isthmus to the Horn ’ In Louisiana they say “from New Orleans to Pittsburg. ’ In California the common expres- sion is “from Altaville ' to Pilot Knob.” . EDITED BY Cassie Thayer, John Estabrooks. As this is the initial number of our paper, we have no exchange notes or clippings. However, we intend to send The Golden Rod as a greeting to some of the schools about us, and hope to receive an introduction to them by the return of their papers. It will certainly be a source of pleasure and we trust mutual benefit. Miss Winifred P. Stone has ac- cepted a position in the high school at Quincy, Mass. Miss Stone came to Bridgton in 1888, after her grad- uation from Kents Hill. She has worked with us faithfully and suc- cessfully. Her many friends in this section will always be glad to hear of her advancement, and will give her a cordial welcome when she returns either as visitor or teacher.—[The Stranger, North Bridgton, Ale. We are indebted to The Beacon of the Chelsea high school for the list given below. As The Beacon be- gins its life with The Golden Rod, we extend our infant hand with a youthful greeting, and with the hope that we together may grow older and better as the months go by. “The following is a list of the high school papers of Massachu- setts in the order of their age : Latin School Register, Boston ; The Premier, Fail River; Oak, Lily and Ivv, Milford ; Pine Grove Echoes, Harwich; The Young Idea, Gloucester; The Jabberwock, Girls’ Latin School, Boston; The Recorder, Springfield ; High School Gazette, Lynn; The Tripod, Rox- bury; English High School Enter- prise, Lynn ; Oracle, Malden; High School Herald, Westfield; High School Graphic, Athol; Distaff, Girls’ High School, Boston ; Ad- vance, Salem; High School Re- cord, New Bedford; Our School Life, Ipswich; High School Times, New Bedford; High School Regis- ter, Hyde Park; The School Re- cord, Newburyport.”
