Pupils of an inventive turn might find it profitable to read The National Claimant. The last number of Our Dumb Animals contains some exceptionally good stories. The Cadet contains an interesting description of the Tennessee Centen- nial Exposition. A story well worth reading is “The Old Ilag of the Mohicans,” in the High School Record. Expression contains an admirable article entitled, “Departments of English in the Colleges.” One of the most regular and most welcome of our exchanges is the Worcester Academy Weekly. In the Cambridge Manual Train- ing School Register appears a strong article on the advantages of manual training. We think, however, that it is a question whether the so-called “ practical education,” is superior to one purely classical. We wish to call attention to the fact that the anecdote about Long- fellow, which has been circulating through some of our exchanges is wholly untrue. The verses which young Henry is supposed to have written could probably be traced to the brain of some ingenious editor. “Mr. Finney’s Turnip” must go. And Summer’s green all girded up in sheaves. —Shakespeare. Since still we live to-day, forgetting June, Forgetting May; deeming October sweet. —William Morris. In scarlet clusters o’er the gray stone wall The barberries lean in their autumnal air; Just when the lields and garden spots are bare. And ere the green leaf takes the tint of fall. —T. B. Ai.drich. If we could dare to write as ill As some whose voices haunt us still, Even we, perchance, might call our own Their deep enchanting undertone. —Edmund Gosse. The beauty that shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October, who ever could catch it ? Go forth to find it and it is gone. Emerson. « Mowers, weary and brown and blithe. What is the word metliinks ye know, Endless over-word that the Scythe Sings to the blades of grass below ? S jythes that swing in the grass and clover, Something, still, they say as they pass: What is the word that, over and over, Sings the Scythe to the flowers and grass? Hush, ah hush, the scythes are saying, Hush, and heed not and fall asleep; Hush they say to the grasses swaying, Hush, they sing to the clover dry! Hush, 'tis the lullaby Time is singing— Hush, and heed not for all things pass, Hush, ah hush! and the scythes are swing- ing Over the clover and over the grass! —Andrew Lang.

On October 13, our team went to Milton and defeated the strong Mil- ton Academy team, 6-0. The play- ing was hard and fast, and showed improvement over our first game. We made a touchdown in the first half. We kicked off to Milton, and they rushed the ball to the middle of the field. There they lost the ball on downs. The High School rushed well, and soon had the ball over the line for a touchdown. C. Magnuson kicked the goal. Milton then kicked off, and Quincy nearly scored again, having the ball on the 10 yard line when half-time was called. In the second half Milton put forth her best efforts and came near scor- ing. But the High School boys de- fended their goal desperately, and kept Milton away from it. When time was called, Milton had the ball on Quincy’s 30 yard line. In this half the best playing was by Schar- nagel, C. Magnuson, Pendis, and Barry. QUINCY HIGH. O. Magnuson, r. c. Pendis, r. t. Marnock, r. g. McDonald, c. Wales, 1. g. Dorlcy, 1. g. Ford, 1.1.
