Several years ago it was the custom for each graduating class to publish a book entitled the 4' Mosaic, because it was made up of a number of distinct pieces. Later the custom was changed, and each class presented a class-play. Last year the book was again published under the new title which this volume bea1's. Of course we think that our volume is better than any other, and we challenge the Juniors to improve on ours. We have received the hearty co-operation of teachers and class- mates, and have gained profit and pleasure from the experience, in spite of its cares and responsibilities, so we should recommend the Juniors to accept our challenge, relying for aid and encouragement on the class of '05, We are extremely grateful to Miss Dodge for the signal favor she has conferred upon the class by giving us her photograph for 'f the book. Our class motto: 4' Success is not without labor. The principal of a well-known high school near here was the judge who selected Miss Gray's essay, '4Mr. Peggotyf' as the best of the ten submitted to him in the competition. We offer Miss Gray our hearty congratulations and hope she will greatly enjoy the book which was her reward. One would think that, with all the work to be done during the two years at this school, there would be little time for the manifestation of class spirit, but besides the rivalry between different divisions in the studies, there are occasions when especial ex- hibitions of good-natured rivalry are seen. The basket-ball game is perhapsxthe most exciting of these. Then there are the receptions when each class tries to out-do the other and the teachers in giving the guests a pleasant afternoon. The receptions this year have been particularly successful. Nothing could have been more enjoyable than the musical treat the teachers gave us, followed by the social hour in the gymnasium. Then came the Seniors' witch party, where every one seemed to enjoy himself, and last but not least, the J uniors' Auction. We congratu- late the Juniors on the success of their party, and say once more that we all had a fine time. We hope the Juniors, When they become Seniors, will do better than some of us havejdone in regard to speaking to the new Juniors. Every Senior ought to speak to every,Junior, and learn the names of all the Juniors. VVe know how little time there is, and how hard it is to make a start along these lines, but we hope the next class will come nearerithe ideal than we have. The class of '05 has been exceedingly fortunate in their class-officers. Good offi- cers are often ff half the battle, and we hope the next class will be as happy in their choice. This book would not be complete without a word as to our library. We have testeduit thoroughly, and find that it amply justifies the statement concerning it in the school catalogue. Besides all the books of reference, the 4' story corner acquaints us With the best authorsjffand their books. The class gift this year is a departure from the custom. Before, the present usually took the form ofwstatues or pictures. We hope that the oak settle will be no lessua Work of art and an ornament than those. 5 0 l ' Class Seng.

Cheerful like the blessed sunshine Of an Indian summer noon, Making troubles fade and vanish And the whole world seem in tune. Brave and dauntless as the oak-tree Battling with the wind and storm g Should one bow before the Storm-God Weakly yield to Pain the palm? With a heart kept young and open To each human joy and fear, In the shadowy realms of book-land Or the land of now and here. Loving all things fair and holy, Striving that unseeing eyes May be opened to the beauty That about them hidden lies. Knowing with a certain knowledge That on one most glorious day Wrong shall be forever conquered, Right take up her healing sway. Such the gracious little woman Who has found a royal place In the heart of every school-girl She has strengthened for life's race When that race seems long and weary Rough the road and dim the goal, Then fresh courage shall be gathered From the thought of this brave soul Philip. It was a cold rainy day in the late fall. The wind was blowing furiously, and the men and women, as they hurried home after their day's work, were beaten about at the mercy of its cruel, cutting blast. The electric lights glimmered and flickered in the growing dusk. A boyish figure, pitifully thin and wan, passed along the crowded thoroughfare. One hand clasped a battered and frayed violin-case, the other was thrust into his pocket, not for warmth, but in order that it might grasp the money, the precious money, that was to buy so many good things for Grandad, to make him well again. His childish heart grew sad as he thought of the patient sufferer lying so still, in the unfurnished desolate room he called home. As the rain came down upon the upturned face of the child it mingled with bitter tears which told how hard was the struggle he was daily making. Suddenly rousinghimself from his revery he grasped the shabby case more tightly, pulled the tattered cap down farther on his head, and walked more swiftly. Threading his way through narrow streets overtopped by crowded tenement houses, along hyways and alleys, he came at last to a door which he quietly opened. The room was cheer- less and forlorn but the lad thought not of this, his only thought was of the figure lying on a rude eoueh in the corner. Rushing tothe bed and kneeling down he asked, H A re you better, dear Grandad? The weary eyes opened and rested with a look of deep love and tenderness on the boyish face. H Yes, Philip, much better 5 then with a sigh of contentment! Play. Slowly the boy took the instrument from its case and pressing it lovingly against his cheek began to play. Strains of music, earessingly sweet and tender, filled the room. Vueouseious of time or of his grandfather's presence the boy played on and on, soothed by the charm of his own melody, until he ceased and looked toward the couch for the smile which was his best reward. A twang from the instrument, a shriek from the boy, and he threw himself on the bed. -f U my firandad, my dear flrandad, I love youg come back to your Philip. Solis shook thi- frauu- of the lad. Slowly, and still more slowly the sobs came until at last the ohild was still. The lire went out, the room grew colder and Colder, and the only sound was the beating of the rain against the window-pane, and the sighing of the wuul. G. A. B. '05.

N The Disposition of New Ideas,-A Lesson in Pedagogy. What happens to a new idea? That is, what is its experience when it makes its appearance in the mind of a human being? The answers to such questions have both interest and importance. They are interesting because they involve a careful observa- tion of one's mental processes and often disclose the striking, not to say radical differ- ences which exist in human minds. They are important, because upon the treatment accorded to new ideas depend the amount and the kind of movement which individuals make on the line of progress or retrogression. It thus affects, in the aggregate, the position of the race itself. Our faculties of observation are constantly coming into intimate relations with the external universe. That universe reacts upon the faculties. Sensations and percep- tions result. An idea which has hitherto been unknown makes its appearance and claims hospitality and even residence. In the first place, one would endeavor to put such a stranger into his scheme of thought as it actually exists. He would try to interpret it in the terms of a language with which he is already familiar. If this attempt appears to succeed, the attempt would then be made to ascertain the relations which the new-comer sustains to ideas already possessed. This, of course, is merely to push the first attempt a little further g it operates both as an exploration and as a test: it is a continuation of the effort to 'rind a common friend. The discovery of a mutual interest greatly promotes the pro- gress of acquaintance when one meets a stranger. So, if any relation, friendly or otherwise, can be discovered between the new idea and some previous possession of the mind, the quality of strangeness is reduced, even if it is not altogether removed, and the pathway to future intimacy is opened. Such an attempt may discover the family 01' class to which the stranger belongs. We may even find that it belongs to some family or class with which we are already acquainted. Thus its heredity, its relationships, its blood-kindred even, may be dis- closed. A successful attempt of this sort will greatly increase our feeling of acquain- tance with it. Then comes our estimation of its value. We are already far past the field of per- ception proper and we feel that the mechanical portion of our work is completed. Men may agree up to this point and yet take widely differing paths thereafter. A lion is to all men a lion,-but when several men estimate the value of a lion, wide diversity is the only possible result. Bunker Hill monument is a towering pile of cut granite, whoever be the gazer, but the value of the shaft is one to an Englishman and quite another to an American. A forest yields the same rays of light to the gaze of an artist, a lumber-dealer, a shepherd, or a lover, but the estimates of its value will great- ly vary. What men are, as determined by all they have known and felt and done determines and explains their answers to the question, what is the value of this idea? It is worth- less, indifferent, or valuable, according as it relates itself to our universe,-that uni- verse which each constructs, interprets, and inhabits for and by himself. The recognition of such a process, constantly going on in every human mind, ex- plains many things that are more or less perplexing. It explains, for instance, the 9 varying opinions of men who grow up in the same community, apparently under almost identical influences, attending the same schools, equally responsive to the dictates of reason and conscience. No two men can have precisely identical experiences. So no idea means precisely the same thing to two men, however they may be apparently pre- disposed to think or act alike. At some point or another, there has been a divergence of interpretation, and when an angular difference has once been established, the actual interval, according to linear measure, tends constantly to increase. The story of a good deed, or of a bad deed, is heard and judged, in one way or in another, according to our previous conception of the person to whom it is attributed. Especially is this judgment affected by the harmony or disagreement between that person and ourselves in matters of religion, politics, social relations, occupation, and the like. The difficul- ties which schools sometimes find in the study of certain periods of history, when their pupils are from families of varying shades of political or religious belief, furnish ex- cellent illustrations. The ff open mind, -and the open mind is not a merely empty mind,-which enables a man to seek only the truth, in whatsoever direction it may lead him, and to judge evidence according to its intrinsic value alone, is one of the rarest possessions of human beings. These matters, of course, go even further, and affecting men's opinions, determine their conduct also. The ditferenees are not merely academic, but they are expressed in our acts, such as our adherence to this or that religious com- munion, our votes, our discharge of social obligations, our alms-giving, our treatment of associates of all ranks and conditions. So those who in childhood played together with the utmost community of feeling and interest, sometimes find themselves in middle life far removed from each other in sympathy and in opinion,-perhaps even bitterly antagonistic. It is always ditlicult to resume an interrupted friendship. Again, the understanding of the process we have been discussing enables us to see the true value of so-called H forgotten knowledge. Because knowledge has apparently been forgotten,-that is, because it is not or perhaps cannot be recalled in the form in which it originally came to us, it does not follow that it has been lost, in any proper sense of that term. Our food does its work in allaying, for the time being, the craving of appetite, and then, subjected to the process of digestion, that which is useful is 1'e- tained for assimilation, and that which is waste is removed from the body. An analo- gous process goes on in the disposition of new ideas. Some of them are adjudged worthless by tho sifting activities of the mind to which they have presented themselves, and they leave practically no impress upon its nature or its life. The others are assim- ilated into its very being. They do not, perhaps, retain t.heil' identity, but they are worked into its fiber and bet-ome in very truth, a part of it. The body does not mere- ly receive, select und transform its foodg the food, in turn, becomes the body and peri- odically entirely renews it, although it remains the snlnc body. So the mind has its expo:-ieinvf-sg it knows, fe:-ls and wills. These experiences, in their turn, are not simply phenomena nf the mind, ---they are ultimately, in their sum, the inind, which, however, like the body, pro.'4erves its identity. W. P. Becklvith.

The College Man was a tall, broad-shouldered individual of prepossessing appear- ance and the grave mien of a Harvard Senior. He had finished his course at college and was now attending Normal School, from which place he was sent to the N- School to observe. Now it happened that at noon of his first day there the principal, an old friend of his, came to him in sore need of assistance. 4' The first grade teacher is absent. IVill you take her place for the afternoon? he asked. The College Man could not refuse, so after consenting to assume the responsibilities of inst1'uctor of these five-year-olds for the brief period of two hours, he proceeded, with all the gravity possible, to the room occupied by the primary grade. As no plan was given him he began to recall his childhood days, and amidst the childish clatter and shufiie of many feet, he had faint remembrance of reading ff Mary had a little lamb and writing f' I see a cat, besides singing numerous cradle songs. Having decided upon his plan of action, and having sighted fifty-four anxious faces gazing at him from behind fifty-four tiny desks, the College Man decided to ff attack writing first. When the preliminary directions had been given he took a pen from his desk. 4' What is this, children? he asked in a most professional manner. ff A pen, piped fifty-four wee voices from fifty-four wee tots in front of him. ff Children, weire going to write the word 4 pen '. Watch me as I write it. U Pen was straightway arrayed in white chalk on the blackboard. 4' Now, children, you write this. And the College Man awaited the result. Presently one little hand in the corner was raisedg H I can't write that first letter I wailed the distressed individual. The College Man proceeded to show her the neces- sary strokes, and turning to help another who was struggling with the same difficulty, he beheld fifty-two hands wildly waving in the air, and heard a chorus of --4' I can't Write that letter! accompanied by, ff My pen's broke X f' Well, children, sighed the College Man, ff I guess we won't write 5 we'll read. Take out your readers. Straightway fifty-four sets of writing materials were plunged into fifty-four desks and the same number of readers took their places. ff Turn to page ten, we'll read the lesson on the f Bird's Nestf Read the first line, Mary. Mary arose and meekly began. The bird builds a nest of strawf' ff Stop that noise I commanded the College Man. HYou read the first line, Samuel 2 Samuel, with all the dignity of a Wilkins-for that was his family name-arose and proceeded to sound as Mary had done, only in a much higher key. ff Stop that noise l shouted the College Man, I told you to read ll' Fifty-four grave faces beheld their gentleman CQ teacher and great was their fear. Yea, verily! Mary was crying already. One brave little boy in the back row now arose. 'f Our other teacher always makes us read that wayf' he volunteered. 0 well, said the College Man, 4' That's all rightg I guess we won't read any more this afternoon, children, we'll sing instead. 11 The truth was, he was in a hard place. It was only twenty minutes after two and he had already attacked and rejected two lessons, confused fifty-four little brains, and driven Mary Smith to tears. Mary finally subsided, however, much to his relief, and a song was chosen. The children started to sing on fifty-four different pitches and discord reigned supreme. Could it be avoided ? No I Because the College Man didn't remember the pitch or key of the ff Butterfly Song. So, in the middle of the first strain, he arose with a puckered brow and exclaimed, ff Don't sing any more, children, don't sing l His musical ear could endure no more. It was now half past two. How was he to keep these fifty-four noisy, restless chil- dren busy for an hour and a half more? His head reeled when he thought of it and his eyes blurred when he looked at the first grade reader. Suddenly a bright idea occurred to himg he would try blackboard drawing. It proved to be a novelty and its eiect was magical. After this he told them a fairy story he had once read, and so the after- noon dragged on. Never had he experienced such joy as thrilled him at the sound of the four o'c1ock bell. After putting on fifty-four pairs of overshoes and the same number of coats and caps he locked the school-room door, thankful that the ordeal was over. What an afternoon he had spent! Slowly the College Man walked toward home, more tired than after a footfball game, but thankful in his heart that he was not a first-grade teacher. 0. L. M2 '05. A Sonnet.

I can't explain it, but hope you may be able to. On the night of the graduation reception I intended to leave the building with the rest of the girls, but whether I did or not remains a mystery, for, as the clock struck one, I became conscious that I was wandering along the west corridor in total darkness. As I approached the geometry room I heard a terrible .S din. VVhen I opened the door a strange spectacle met my E eyes- a dozen girls equipped with combs were playing the most melodious music, while others were adding to the din E K' E! 3 by duelling with pointers. The ethereal music was fre- quently interruped by shrieks of laughter. I seemed to be E E' K H invisible, for no one greeted meg and without weight, for I made no noise as I hastened away from this deafening place and fied up-stairs. Will all the rooms of old S. N. S. prove as lively as this? I wondered. The science laboratory looked very familiar, for arrayed along the floor in perfect order, each occupying its proper place in the biological chain, were an amoeba, par- amoecium, vorticella, earthworm, clam, fish, and cat, in fact all the animals from the amoeba to the manikin, who towered above them in all his majesty. Each animal in turn seemed to be analyzing himself and after each statement to be making a compar- ison between himself and man. It was very interesting, 5. but fearing I should be drawn into the discussion, and I feeling that I could not analyze even myself correctly, I slipped away into the next room. The first thing which met my eye was this notice in green chalk underlined with red on the blackboard: U Young ladies-please do not converse above a whisper. This is the nine-hundred and ninety-ninth time I've spoken of this to you. If you wish crucibles you will find them in this room or in the weighing room or in the science laboratory or in the lecture room. If you can't find them it is probably my faultg in some way I have not been explicit enough. WVasn't that natural, girls? You all know, as I know, that the author of that notice was too good for us wicked girls. The physics 1'oom now demanded my attention, but as there was a class in progress I did not enter. Standing in the doorway I heard an intellectual looking member ofthe class remark, -' It seems to me that what you have just said is contrary to the pedagogical law you taught us in chemistryf' A look of mild surprise came over the face of the instructor who replied, ff I never had a class tell me that beforeg however, Igwill make a note of it. Whereupon he slowly unbuttoned his coat, drew a small memorandum from his pocket, jotted down a note, replaced the book, and re- buttoned his coat. Could it be that those conscientious girls were worrying about a pedagogical law, or might it be that they,-well, no, I won't say it, for it couldn't be so anyway. 13 T0 YHONX Ji With a-glance I took in the biology room which was a H perfect and harmonious whole, for law and order reigned supreme. Across the hall, however, pf' everything was confusion, talking, laughing, and moving about, but all i 1 ff perfectly jolly. Just as I was turning away I heard a voice say, ff It ' ff! occurred to me the other day that you folks think you can wind me round ' your little finger. Is it so ? A chorus of voices answered in a shocked tone, Oh no .' we never dreamed of such a thing ! At the door of the language room I heard from within sounds of wailing and gnashing of teeth and a voice moaning, ft O dear! my English ! I shall have to study all summer to purify my contaminated English. Those girls have almost ruined it! What terrible mistakes they make every time they speak! NVhy last week I violated coherence twice,-Oh dear! Oh dear! I With deep mental reproach I hurried along the hall to the geography room. I had some difficulty in opening the doorg the cause was most surprising. The room was full of a tangled line which had neither beginning nor end. lVhat could it be? I was not long in doubt, for it surely was the U line of thought left in this hopeless snarl by those heartless Seniois. ff What a time the poor Juniors will have straightening it out next fall! thought I, 4' Ialll truly sorry for them. '79 y 1 P E40 WI' ' inf -FQ: tb' Q!! 1 . LINC OY THOUGH? Fearing I should be re-endowed with my natural body before my curiosity was Q satisfied, for I was becoming interested by this time, I hastened along. From the stairs I lookedginto the arithmetic room where sat swamis of girls diligently copying from well-filled boards. Each girl had an enormous bottle of ink and a box of pens before her. At regular intervals, that rhythm might not be destroyed, the weary beings straightened their shoulders and sighed, but only for a momentg for, if possible, the copying must be finished before the next centennial celebration. n You can easily imagine what I sau in the history loom dates,'dates, dates l why there was not a nail in the floor-that did not haveia label on it, stating the ffdate when it was made. At the desk, stately and dignified and adding to the learned atmos- phere of thc scene, sat a Fiske's history. My attention was now directed to the Main lrlall by strains r, -- 1 1 i--i of Maryland, my Maryland --a music lesson was surely in progress. As I opened the door the baton suddenly descended with several rapid taps and a voice thundered through a megapbone. Look out there, you-Juniois, or l'll send every one of you ont of the room. Yon'rc not here to whisper, but to sing .' Why were the Seniols in the front seats smiling? A happy thought now seized me and I proceeded to thc reception room and placed my name in the visitors' book to prove the truth of this story to anyone who doubts my word. llore l sat down on the couch fora moment and must have fallen asleep for l was awalu-neil in the morning by the trend of timid fcet,- the incoming class had arrived for exams. E. E. G. 14 Juniors' Impressions of Seniors. .f'1N ,X MK! x XTX l z N . ' bs . ,- u -rr 'WTA'-1555 T X x 'tr I ,X S Xff XAFI 2-. 5 ,, MAGINE if you can, the feelings Tom Thumb might experience . on entering a meeting of our big, burly, intellectual American citi- es .,.- .4n, , zens, and you will realize, in part, the state of mind of us poor wee Juniors, on our first appearance at Normal School. One by one we entered the Main Hall, casting timid glances to right. then to left, in sea1'ch of others who looked as ill-at-ease as we felt. On the right of the hall all was talking, laughing, hand-shak- ing, and embracing, this was surely not the place for us, but the domain of self-pos- sessed and assured Seniors, on the left, however, were eighty or more constrained, uncomfortable looking individuals, undoubtedly our classmates-to-be, and so we found our places among them. When classes were called, we, on the right side of the room, stood dazed and wondering, not knowing where to turn next 3 our only course was to follow in the footsteps of the Seniors, those superior beings, whose familiarity with the intricacies of the vast edifice impressed us with an inexpressible awe. This launched us on the tide of imitation which was theuceforward to carry us relentlessly on its course. VVe poor, ignorant beings decided then and there that whatever the Seniors did must be correct and resolved to follow their example on every possible occasion. The first opportunity offered us was when the Seniors decided that lunch without milk was unsatisfactory and sent an order to a certain milkman to have milk left every day. So every morning the Seniors received their milk in bottles. Immediately we Juniors found that our lunches lacked something. VVe decided that that something was milk, so we too had milk come in bottles. The Seniors soon found the noon-hour dull and so repaired to the gymnasium for dancing. Immediately the noon-hour seemed dull to us, and we likewise began to indulge in this pastime. But would a Junior dare to enter the f'Gym'i if she found it occupied by no one but Seniors? Try one and see. Thus we followed the example of the Seniors as a body, but refrained, much as we like cream-pie, from taking pattern from that Senior who had her cream-pie deliv- ered at the qyice. Although we resolved to follow the example of the Seniors, and although We accept as a matter of course the fact that they are our superiors, we resent having this unmis- takable fact presented to us at every hour in the day. VVe go to the H Gym and hear that the Seniors do such a jump, but of course we are not expected to do what they do. We hardly recover from our chagrin when, on going up-stairs to the main hall, we are told that the Seniors keep their desks neat and that it would be to our credit to do likewise. Is it because they have fewer books or more time? From the library comes the statement that Seniors return their books when they are due and Juniors are re- quested to do the same. i sh 'lf ' ,yr- A fi r 'ML ' --A 'J SFX - l fr ' ,A Ma , There are, however, incidents in the Seniors' life which we have no desire to experi- 15 ence. For, according to rumor, these dignified bodies went sedately into recitations, on certain occasions recently, and were forthwith calmly requested to withdraw from the respective rooms. To think that these model Seniors should be so ignominiously dismissed from recitations! Such a thing is scarcely conceivable to a Junior. We wonder what could have been the cause of such an extraordinary occurrence. In this impressive body of worthy Seniors there are certain individuals who are deserving of special mention. The one foremost in my mind, as she is foremost in the class, is the one who presides over the meetings with such gentle dignity and sweet graciousness. Next is she who keeps the records, and whose opinion, once formed, is maintained through thick and thin. Then there is the young lady who possesses such fluency of speech and whose interest in ff unity and ff coherence is so great that she attends lectures for the express purpose of criticizing the speaker in these respects. Let us not forget the one recently inspired by the ff Muse of Poetry, which inspi- ration resulted in the class poem, and last of all the one lone brave man whose courage has been steadfast through two years of constant association with those of the opposite sex. During the first week of school-life it is a surprise to a Junior to find Seniors aH:able and capable of other interests than the studies with the long names, and to 'rind their conversation intelligible to even an ignorant mortal like a Junior. Although at first they seem so high above her, after a few weeks have passed, the tendency of that Junior to look up to them and to beam and glow for an hour after having been civilly greeted by one of their honorable body decreases. Then is the time when the Junior feels herself as one on the same height of the ladder of fame with the Seniors, rather than as one very near the bottom. In spite of all this what would school be without the Seniors ? The Juniors would deteriorate for want of a good example. May the class of '05 win many honors and set as good an example for their pupils as they have for members of the class of '06. U. A. R. '06. A I.I I'I'I.E SACRIFICE I ONCE MADE.

All About the Boycott! Seniors sick of thin stew, Juniors sick of ham, All are sick of baker's bread, Nothing but a sham. Rolls are growing smaller, Ice cream's no longer sweet, Cocoa that's half water, Surely can be beat. Seniors get in bunches, Say it shan't be so, Juniors join the boycott, Simply can't say ff no. Does a glance at cream-pie Plan is quite successful, Come from 'neath their locks? At the next noontime, No, for each one holds fast From the depths of purses, A Uneeda Biscuit box. No nickel comes, no dime. Straight the angry super, With utensils all, Leaves the nest of strikers, Leaves old Normal Hall. Now when empty Seniors, Empty Juniors too, Find an empty lunchroom 'Tis quite depressing, true. But there's no din of voices, No more the cry ff fried fishj' And all is peace and quiet, lVhat better could one wish! There's a deal of comfort, too, In doing as they like, So munching peanut sandwiches, They glory in the strike. 17 Mr. Peggotty. IPRIZE Essfnnl p The characters of Dickens are interesting, not so much for what they do, fascina- ting though that is, as for what they are. They are so human and individual that they live on in our memories long after we have forgotten their places in the story. Such a living reality is Mr. Peggotty. Awkward and at times child-like to the point of absurdity, he is yet a true nobleman. No knight of the Round Table ever better exemplified utter hardihood, utter gentleness and loving, utter faithfulness in love. A poor fisherman, our hero has little outward polish, but he has something far better, the courtesy of the heart. His home is ruled by a spirit of kindliness, and is thrown open to all corners with a cordial hospitality. Now and again, too, we catch glimpses in his character of a gentleness and delicacy of feeling worthy of the highest refinement. llear him as he speaks to Emily, on that night when the soul of Barkis is going out with the tide: ff It's such a loving 'art, he says, ff that it can't abear the sorrer of this. Its nat'ral in young folk, when they're new to these here trials, and timid, like my little bird,-it's natlralf' As we watch him stroking her delicate head, we feel that no culture could teach him to deal more tenderly and eonsiderately with her shrinking heart. Again, he feels as if l'Imily's little belongings ff was her a'most. 'fl couldn't see one of 'em rough used a purpose,- not for the whole wureld, he says. As we listen, we can but feel the chivalry, amounting almost to reverence, awakened in his great heart by her gen- tleness and beauty. Balancing and throwing into relief his gentleness a1'e a wholesome cheerfulness and a steadfast strength. llow well we know his cheery smile l llow we love to join in his hearty laugh, -- a laugh, perhaps, at his own expense, for being 4' a babby in the form of a great Sea l'orkypinel NVith what fortitude he sustains the sighs and tears of Mrs. fiummidgel llow hopefully he looks toward the future when, almost an old man, he sets out with limily for Australia! Un that last visit to England, too, burdened though he is with his darling's broken spirit, how much he finds over which to be eheerful and even merry l l'nderlying his eheerfulness is his strength. We feel it whenever we lneet him. Quietly, as if it were a little thing, he takes up the burdens laid down by his brothers. I'i-esenlly one of those whom he has befriended brings grief upon him. lle shoulders this new burden as unhesilatingly as he has the others, planning, overcoming his pro- judiees, spending ungrudgingly, yet tolling on foot through sunnner heat and winter eold that he may save what he eau for the lost one. Nor is he less noble when, suffer- ing under the insults olTered him at Sleerforth's home, he restrains the passionate words whieh lliroln through his mind. lVe must notiee here, too, the sturdy indepen- denee nilh whieh he refuses to use Sl,4FUl'fHl'l,ll.N money, even for l'lmily's rescue. llni. noble us are these trails, there is in Mr. Peggotty yet a liner, his utter self lorgetfulness in the joys and sorrows of others. lVhen Mrs. flunnnidgo casts a gloom upon his otherwise eheerful home, his only feeling is a sincere sympathy for IH what, to his charitable mind, is the result of longings for the departed 'fold 'un. In the home where Barkis lies dying, we find our friend supporting his sister, comforting Emily, counselling Ham. Even at the moment of starting on the sorrowful quest for his lost child, he has a thought for the loneliness of Mrs. Gummidge. Then, when he has ended his quest and is in the midst of preparations for departure, he makes careful provision for her and Ham and Peggotty. He thought of everybody's claims and strivings but his own? That it was a hardship for a man of his years to leave home and begin life anew in a wild country seems never to have entered his mind. A natural outcome of such a life for others is his modesty. If any of the family referred to his generosity, ff he struck the table a heavy blow, and swore a dreadful oath that he would be 4 gormed' if he did'n't cut and run for good if it was ever mentioned again. So on Davidis last visit to the old boat, he says, Mrs Gummidge has worked like a -I don't know what Mrs. Gummidge an't Worked like 3 but of Mr. Peggotty's Work not a word. Cheerfulness, courtesy, strength, sympathy,-such are the marked characteristics of this man. Yet, in saying this, We have spoken only of the leaves and branches of the tree. For this man's life is rooted and grounded in a love so gentle that he sympa- thizes with the suffering, even when they are disturbing his comfort, so strong that he bears heavy burdens for the sake of loved ones, and scarcely knows that they are bur- dens g so unselfish that he never broods for a moment upon his wrongs but rather strives to bless those who have wronged him. This love extends beyond the home circle. The traveller who crosses this good man's path recognizes it and is glad to journey with him 5 the little children feel it and flock about him g and afterward, when sorrow has t1'ied and strengthened it, the once abhorred outcast, Martha, finds herself enfolded with it. Here, as always, it blossoms into deeds, prompting Mr. Peggotty to take the unhappy girl with him to the new home. Surely this love H suffereth long and is kind, seeketh not her owng beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Surely We are lifted a little higher above all that is unworthy and selfish, and brought to a better un- derstanding of the perfect Love which never faileth, by companionship with this cheery, patient, sturdy fisherman, Mr. Peggotty.

An onloolier can always see much enthusiasm displayed by the pupils both in floor and appa- ratus work. Besides the regular periods in the gymnasium each week, many of the girls assemble there every Saturday after- noon for agood time. Here under the supervision of their willing leader, they enter into the game of basket-ball with energy and enthusiasm. Bas- ket-ball is played here simply for recreation and pleasure, and it is seldom, if ever, that we play against an outside team. This year, however, we accepted an invitation from the Lowell Normal School team to a trial of skill, in which we were defeated. The Senior-Junior game in our own gymnasium was the most exciting event of the basket-ball season. Upon that day class colors were every- where in evidence, cheers were prepared, and the gym- nasium was prettily decorated with red and green. The girls were assembled in the gym- nasium at an early hour and upon the appearance of the opposing teams they cheered loudly and lustily. The Sen- iors immediately began to scoreg at the end of the first half the score was four to one, and at the end of the second half, ten to five in their favor. It is hoped, however, that the Juniors will redeem themselves by coming off victorious in the annual game next year. Our campus affords a good chance for tennis playing. This sport is regularly in- dulged in bya number of the girls. Why wouldu't it be a good scheme to have an outfit for general use and make this exercise a greater feature in school life? 21 . 'S A Dream. . One Sunday night I had a dream, And it was very queer, 'Twas of a class in Sunday School, And '05 was the year. The Deacon asked the questions, For answers none did fail, The lesson was that well-learned theme Of 'f Jonah and the whale. H A large fish swallowed J onah, ff lvhat fish was it ? asked he 5 ff Professor Moore, please tell us now, Did whales infest that sea? Professor answered straightway from His geographic lore, H It may have been a whale, I think, I've thought of that before.

Professor Moore ohjection 1'aised, H But surely, we ought notg For if we skip that point, you know, We'll hrea.k the line of thought. Miss Dodge then straightened matters out. lt seems to me, said she, We should consider Iiihle truths ' l'on which we can agree. H Yes ! said Miss Deane, ff Now 1et's go on And speak of Jonahls fateg But first, please, Deacon, may I ask, Do you know what was the date ? Miss Goldsmith said, '4Let's put that by, Till more time we can findg I really think I need to know The state of J onah's mind.

Just as I closed the diary, I heard a slight rnstle behind my chair, and turning saw a bent old lady who looked as if she had just returned from the seven- teenth century. A lean, black cat rubbing against her feet and a broomstick in her bony hand convinced me that she was a witch. She informed me that she was Patience White of Salem and that this was the night on which she was allowed to entertain a mortal. With her supernatural power shevhad learned of my desire to see my class- mates and had come to gratify it. ff If you wish to see your old friends, mount my steed, for he can easily bear us both, she said, and as she spoke she pushed her broom- stick invitingly toward me. My curiosity got the better of my New England con- science, and I mounted behind Mistress Patience. 4' To the Normal School, firstf, she said, and away we tiew, until at last we dismounted at the schoolhouse door. VVe entered and saw on the wall of the vestibule a huge tablet on which were emblazoned the names of the faculty. First on the list were these familiar names: Mabel Gray, principal and teacher of pedagogy 3 Florence Tadgell, examiner of desks and distributor of red Dlsg and Marion Robbins, critic. As I read the first name, my guide chuckled and asked, ff Did you ever hear this expression, ' It is impossible to overestimate the stupidity of the learner? ' 3' YVe went to the lunch room and found it greatly changed. The tables were covered with snowy cloths and provided with sugar, salt and various other comforts of home, and in the center of each table was a tiny plant in a jardiniere made in the industrial laboratory. It was an ideal lunch room, run by Jennie Dickson, who never allowed a corner on anything. I found that the names of the model school teachers were all unfamiliar, except that of the kindergartner, Maud Kenney. Has she forgotten her resolutions? When we left the school, we went to Devereux Beach where Gladys Budgell still has her cottage, ff A Day's Retreat. Here I found a merry party, Susie, Esther, Alona, and Grace Sneden. I told them where I had been and asked forthe news. Our hostess now makes bows to her heartis content in Fernikee's and has an old friend in the floor walker, Amy Bradbury, Gladys also told me of Rebecca. She is a travelling companion and entertainer for an old lady of many aches and pains. Susie told me 23 about the Lynn girls. Laura Bailey has succeeded Johnny West, and no customer is ever told that she is ff just out of Squirrel Brands, but will have some morenext month. Nell Galvin still believes in the all-potency of sociability in the class-room and practices what she preaches. Bertha Fellows delivers semi-annual lectures on lo- cal geography to long-suffering S. N. S. seniors, and Mildred Graham speaks on ff in- signitieant Hgures, their uses and abusesf, Mary Perkins has given up teaching school and is keeping house for her beloved brother. Irena teaches music and gymnastics in a nearby school and boards with Mary. Sue herself followed her profession until she was gathered into a home's happy Foulds. QUand s don't talk, childrenj. Grace said she had just returned from Europe where she has been travelling as an advertisement of the wonders performed on an American voice by Hiram Corson's ff Voice and Spiritual Education ll bitters. While she was in England she visited Lady Dorrice, lady in title now, as well as in bearing and being. Grace told me also about Abbie and Katherine Enlind. She often visits Abbie, who, by her sweet face and gra- cious manners, has won everybody and everything, even the elements, the wind, snow and Hale. Katherine's little boys know nothing about ft George, the H hatchet, and the cherry tree, because their mother believes in telling only true stories. Alona had a great deal to tell me. She is in this state for a month for the purpose of lectur- ing on the college which she founded in the mountain region of Kentucky in answer to the piteous cries of the monntaincers. The missionary spirit was evidently strong in our class, for everyone on her staff is one of our members. Sadie Reed teaches draw- ing, Mollie Norton, gymnastics, Mary Gainard, language, Edna Ramsdell, botauy, Mary Metirath, geography, that ff science of the earth in its relation to the life of man, Lena Seitlen, aritlunetic, Millieent Perkins, housekeeping, and Ethel Swett, P. M., mono-to-ny. listher, now known as the school-niarm with the arm that never tires, so assidu- ously does she wield the rod, is still talking of going west. She said that Elsie and Lulu are still unseparated, for they teach in adjoining rooms in her building in Groveland. lfroiu Devereux we went to llostou, where, in a large publishing house, we found lless l'arker presiding over a body of reporters. Chief among these reporters was Jo Minard, who proliting by her work on ff the book, has produced some new kids for the eoxnie sheet ol' the Sunday paper, which are better than the ff Katzenjammers or even ff Willie Westinghouse Edison Smith. Bess said that she often received accounts of Ida lianeroft, one of the typical new women, president of sixteen different clubs and soeieties, and independent in all things. She also showed me a clipping which de- scribed a large ehureh wedding in which Gertrude Wooluer was one of the contract- ing parties. liertrude now presides over a mansion in Maine and is noted for bel' delieious spreads, Next, door to Ili-ssie's, Elizabeth lVhiteonib has an oliice where she may be found at any tiine, fully tputlilied to answer all questions on love and senti- llllflli. The witeh tooli ine next lo a eity sehool which had not yet closed. In one room l saw Ili-na teneliing the lillle tots to niaho aprons, pillow-slips and other useful and ornainenlal things. Stiuuling outside the next door I eould not hear tl. sound from within the rooui. It nas Miss llodglaius' rooiu, tho best disciplined inthe State, and I It-aiued that the set-rot of her success lay in her power to overawe unruly pupils by the 24 severity of her manner. From the next room came dire sounds. On entering, I saw Emma McKinley standing before her class flourishing a baton and saying, H Ready, now, begin l 'S Ta-za-fa, ta-fa ta-fa-ta, twenty-three in-ches make one foot, rhythmi- cally droned the class. Another surprise awaited me in the next room, for there was Gertrude Connor with prim dress, prim smile, primly parted hair, a sober, staid school-teacher, who never mentions the other sex except to say, H Ah-men l I visited Miss Elkins' room but found that she was enjoying an excursion to WVashington, as the most popular teacher in the city. On her desk, however, I discovered a book entitled ff Systems of the Earth lVorm, a Systematic Account of the Researches of the Class of 1905, of the Salem Normal School? The author of this famous book was Mabel Tur- ner, teacher of biology at Loring Villa. So our labor was not for naught. It is well! So there are several of the girls still teaching. Yes, and beside those I have men- tioned, I saw Florence Atkins in a dear little country school, Ethel Flanders, a missionary teacher in that country where 4' every prospect pleases, and only man is vile, Miss Henderson, supervisor of drawing in Rio Janeiro, Mr. Sheehan, permanent substitute in Danvers, and May Arnold, coach for the S. N. S. basket ball teams. While not exactly a teacher, still closely connected with schools as a member of the state board of education, is Elizabeth Ferguson, now clothed in cap and gown, the stately president of VVellesley College. Among those to whom she has given degrees is Clara Clement. Elizabeth has established a new course of study in the college, and the students are required to devote at least five hours a week to acquiring the art of story-telling. Martha Taylor is at the head of this department, where she has made it the aim of her life-work to raise the negro folk-lore to its deserved place in literature. Another educational branch which we must not forget is graced by the p1'esence of Bes- sie Bailey, our greatest scholar, and Isabel Bailey, upon whom has fallen the discarded mantle of Demosthenes. I wished to remain longer in the classic halls of Wellesley, but Dame Patience hurried me otf. IVe Hew down to Manchester-by-the-Sea to view the beauties of the place described in Lena Jones's famous poems. Cn the way we stopped to hear a few strains of an opera composed by Miss Cutting and rendered at Essex by the orchestra which she conducts. Then a few blocks away I saw-what I could hardly credit if it had been told me-May McDonough as drummer in a Salvation Army corps. May was always so bashful and quiet! VVhat strange change of character could have brought her to this? The musicians were playing a popular two-step, to which the other members of the corps sang the words of a hymn, and I watched expectantly to see May's feet keep time, but there was not a break in the steady march, and I could not help asking Dame Patience, 4' Is May afraid she is going to die V' The only answer I received was a chuckle as we flew on down to Manchester and thence to Lynn where I saw Maud Kennerson working on an arithmetic. She has already published one which goes far ahead of N ichols's. She charged me to send her all the impractical examples I could find. On the way to New York, Dame Patience herself gave me some information. Mabel Ca1'le is a professional story-teller, always prompt and ready with a story of any kind. Edith Gott retails original jokes at Minstrel shows, her favorite being, 'G If, in deep thinking, I should run my hand through my hair, and then discover a splinter in my finger, what should I naturally infer? 95 lVhen we reached New York we went to the ofiice of the inventress Anna Childs, and she allowed me to use her Atlantic Audio-Cable 'i for the purpose of hearing Gladys Davis' talking machine which was running at terrific speed at its trial conversa- tion before the King of England who had granted Gladys a patent on it. We looked over Miss Childs' ofiice and talked with her awhile. lVe learned that through her efforts, benighted Henniker had been provided with the best electric-light plant in the state. Her partner, Com Mulrey has succeeded in making a mirror which will not ff cast reflections. Anna told me that two of our girls have gone to Henniker to live. Carrie Pease has set up a canning establishment and sugar refinery there, and receives her supplies from the fruit orchards and market garden of her neighbor, Ida Bello Bailey. lVe flew on to Boston and Mistress Patience gave me some more information. I have already mentioned some who deprived the state of those three hundred dollars. Ada Moulton must be added to the list, as well as Grace Snow, for they both gave up making fifty iive'year-olders happy for the purpose of making one fifty-five-year-older happy. Contrary to custom, Helen of Old Plymouth Towne was un-Tighed by the matrimonial knot. Both Amy and Edith Wilson shine in homes of their own. Sally Titcomb is the wife of a wealthy oil magnate, and one of Newportls four hundred. Amy Morrill presides over a cosy little white country parsonage, just as we expected. Kitty Clark is happily married to her former instructor, the dancing master. Carrie Johnson conducts very select whist parties at her happy home in Dorchester. Arriving in Boston we visited Mollie Crane who keeps one of the largest restaurants in the city, next door to May Feeney's manicuring and hairdressing parlors. While I was talking to Mollie, in came Nell Quinn, collector for a. large installment house, and Edna Selman Tutt, a book agent, whose motto is, ft VVhat if he doesn't want it! By this time my guide was beginning to get impatient, for she said that we had far to gog so we again mounted the broomstick and rode over land and sea until we came to the South Sea Isles. There we found the Cambridge Quintette, Misses Carmichael, McCullough, llrcsnahan, Connelly and Glynn, who had been hired by the islanders to frighten away the monster which was endeavoring to swallow the moon. Their Har- vard, llarvard, rah f rah Y rah l has proved very effectual. if Now, said the witch, you have either seen or heard about every one of your classmates, so we must return home, for my time on earth for this year is up at twelve. Then we came flying through the air and I found myself here in my oflice chair just as the clock struck twelve. sw --2 W-Q5 K i gf , , 'if 51,4 V' B ' 5 x ff f I U' H Tl MC, L 1359.5 O W1 0 V7 1 my JK, Y J 1 4 9, , Q N Q.

A PURELY SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION. pb ROTECTED on the west by the Swampscott cliffs, and stretching toward 1 ' Marblehead on the north-east, lies Devereux Beach, suggesting, both by . x the shape of its shoreline and the gradations in pebble-life along its ' , gs Lbosom, that emblem of the Mohammedan Empire, the ever-increasing, Q v never-waning endless crescent. South-east blasts from the cave of - Aeolus warn the wavelets to adopt the protection of their woolly bon- , nets. High piled above the water, the curving mound of pebbles i ' glistens in the warm sunlight, pebbles of white, pebbles of brown, peb- ' I bles of blue,pebbles green, yellow, black, red and grey, pebbles born of the adjacent cliffs, pebbles borne away from the distant mountains of Alaska, pebbles slowly creeping through the ages with some mighty icy sea, pebbles of many nationalities, of many tongues, yet, all as they sport in the spray, singing a har- moniously blended, never-to-be excelled paean to the Most High God. OH'-shore lie bare and rocky islands, one of them a beacon, welcome to the straining eyes of the niariner. Once, perhaps, those isles clasped the mainlandg oh change! change! evident in every state! then, methinks, the Red Man trod the paths I tread, loved the ocean as I love it! The rounded rocks, growing smaller toward the east, tell me that they have often witnessed Neptune, pursued by the iVind-God, furiously driving his steeds. Toward Swampscott we see the venerable progenitor of many pebbles, the joint- cracked cliff, composed of diorite, granite, and a grey porous rock with the feel of pumice. X- -X' 'P 4- 4 il I G G At intervals, cast up by or-ean's lavish hands, we find H devil's aprons smoother than the smoothest velvet, of beautiful red hue, and studded with pebble gems, some attavhed hy natures own green silk. Those genus have probably been brought from the deepest depths hy the sen plant. Nlayhap, should I listen, and could I interpret its speeeli, the beautiful weed :night tell me of cities under the sea, might repeat the songs of the Sirens or imitate the barking of Scyllafs dogs. From the great-gmndfatlier vlifl with brow furrowed by the storms of ages, from the grand-father, angular fragment, from the father, sub-angular, from chubby pebble children. from untold posterity of sand, we learn the liistxwy of the pebble race through nmnherlf-ss generations, a rave formed by its environment of weather, water, and ice, and enduring from everlasting to everlasting. 28 Thanks, oh Devereux! thou hast impressed a beautiful picture on my mind canvas, thou hast taught my brain a lesson, thou hast sung me an ennobling psalm, thou hast wafted my soul nearer its Maker.

Professor Dickson was regarding the latest applicant at the college bureau of self- help. 4' Mm, he mused, absent mindedly stroking his chin, ff What's your name? and where were you born? and where do you live 3 ff My name, replied the applicant is John Simonds, and I was born-well, my father is a Methodist minister, and I was b01'l1 all up and down the New England coast, and that's where I live? The grave faced senior, in charge of the bureau, smiled, but the professor went on as seriously as before, 4' VVhat course do you intend to pursue here at college? The professor all the time watched the boy keenly, noting with approval, that, though his clothing was poor, it was immaculate, and that his lithe body and ruddy complexion bespoke a healtful active country life. ff Well, sir, replied the boy with youthful assurance, 4' I wish to make a study of sociology and economics-I must work my way through college and I came here to get something to do. As Simonds spoke, the professorls face took on new interest and he rubbed his hands together with enthusiasm, saying, H I have it. I think you're just the man I want, I'm Professor Dickson, who teaches economics, and Ilm sure youill help me to solve a little problem I've had in mind for some time. Do you like children ? Poor Simonds blushed and stammered, not so much at the suddenness of the ques- tion as at the fact that he was really face to face with Professor Dickson, of whom he had read so much. H Have you any brothers and sisters? questioned the professor. ff Yes, sir, nine. Born all up and down the New England M-but the professor cut him off with a string of mechanically put questions that kept Simonds in a state of thoughtful suspense for Eve minutes. 29 Do you understand the care and amusement of children from one to five years of age? Do you know the amount and kind of exercise and moral instruction 'they should have? Would you know what to do in an emergency-er-that is, croup, for in- stance ? And the professor, feeling himself on unsafe ground, withdrew to firm land. Simonds was puzzled, not knowing whether he was being examined for a position in an orphan asylum or an emergency hospital, but he proceeded to answer the questions. U Oh, yes, sir, I think I could do all those things-that is, I know all mother's remedies for cuts, burns and bruises, and all the antidotes for poisons, and if children put beans up their no- You'll do, interrupted the professor, 4' I want a nurse for my three boys, aged a year and a half, three, and five years. lVe've put up with incompetent servant girls too long, and I'm sure this scheme of mine will throw a great deal of light on the ser- vant problem. Here is my address, and if you'll come to my house tomorrow morning, Mis. Dickson will instruct you more fully as to your duties. The professors hand wandered to his chin. He had not confided his plan to Mis. Dickson! ff But I'1u sure she'll acquiescef' he thought, with all the buoyancy of a theorist. The next day, Simonds, with some trepidation, made his way to the Dickson home. The profession of nursery-man was a hitherto untried one in the community and Si- monds, even with his domestic experience, had his misgivings about its supreme suc- cess. But this might be his opportunity to get the coveted college course and he must not let it slip by. Mrs. Dickson, who proved be a timed little woman, greeted Simonds cordially, and after gaining a brief history of his home life, explained to him that he was to have the care of the children during the evening and part of the day. Another week found Simonds launched upon his unusual duties. The young Dicksons-Jack, Bob, and the baby-took him by storm, and it was not an unusual sight to see Simonds crawling about the lawn on all fours, while the youngsters clung to his back and relentlessly goaded the f' elephant l' on. Because of his large frame and this frequent role the students began calling Si- monds ff Nurse Jumbo, and when the children adopted this name his title was assured. llis lank figure became a familiar sight as he pushed the perambulator with one hand and held his Greek book in the other, reading aloud as he walked, while the baby cooed and gurgled at the strange combination of sounds. Nuise Jumbo had to dance and pmnce now and then, for passing under his arms was a pair of gay reins absurdly decorated with little jingling bells. Bob, as driver of this queer steed, was sufficiently amused and Jack eapered beside the team barking like a dog. Soon after Simonds' debut as nursery-man he and his queer little procession ven- tured on to the campus, where they were railed at more or less, and greeted with non- sense songs of the nursery-man. Un the evenings when the Dieksons were away, their home was the rendezvous of a jolly 1-rowd of students, for Nurse Jumbo was a great favorite. It was both ludicrous and pathi-tif: to see the big, patient fellow give the Dickson youngsters their good-night frolie and more ludicrous still when the students stole upstairs to stand in the nursery door and watch Nurse Jumbo's clumsy fingers struggle with the buttons and hooks and straps, that somehow always refused to unfasten. Nurse Jumbo, in spite of awkardness, proved faithful to his trust. The professor 30 was greatly elated and wrote volumes of essays about household economics and the final solution of the servantfgirl problem. During the spring Mrs. Dickson went away for a brief stay, leaving Bob with Nurse Jumbo. The instructors looked surprised, but no one objected when he ap- peared in his accustomed place in the class room with the tractable Bob tucked away under his arm. Bob didnit object either, and was delighted with the novelty of the experience. On the morning before Mrs. Dickson's return, the professor's chair was empty and Nurse Jumbo was seen rushing from one place to another, without Bob. It soon be- came noised about that Bob was lost and before noon the entire police force of the town was searching for him, and many of the students had organized themselves i11to search parties. For one of the few days in his life the professor forgot economics, but like so many men of his temperament, he was powerless to act in trouble. He was not inclined to search outside of the house. 4' Bob, I really donlt see where Bob is,i' he said as he went into the nursery for the tenth time, and looked first into Bob's bed and then under it, as though he expected to find Bob there. Early in the morning Nurse Jumbo had taken Bob down town, leaving him stand- ing on the curbstone while he dashed into the shop to get the morning paper. When he came out, no Bob was in sight. All inquiries proved of no avail, Bob had disap- peared as completely as though the earth had swallowed him. All that long day Nurse Jumbo rushed hither and thither, hoping at every turn to see Bobby's stout little form running to meet him. He could not bear to go to the Dickson home and meet the professor's great reproachful eyes. He thought of Mrs. Dickson's return, and of her home coming without Bob's merry greeting. Night came on and all the search parties reported no trace of Bob. Seven o'clock was his usual bed-time and a great lump rose in Nurse J umbo's throat as he stood in the still, dark nursery beside Bob's empty bed and wondered what he should do next. Downstairs in the library Professor Dickson paced the floor, the great books on econo- mics lying unopened, his thoughts filled with the emptiness of his heart and home. Every step was an added weight to Nurse J umbo's heart. How long he stayed in the nursery he never knew, but it seemed hours after, when he was aroused by hurried foot steps and the loud ringing of the bell. Nurse Jumbo went down the stairs in four steps, in time to see two sorry looking sophomores half pushed and half dragged into the hall. lVhen they saw Nurse Jumbo they both began talking at once and ex- plaining in the most incoherent way, how they had come round the corner just as he left Bob, and how one of them had concealed Bob in an overcoatg tucked him under his arm, and carried him away to his room for the day. They only did it to tease Nurse Jumbo and when they heard of the search parties they were incited by the spirit of adventure to keep Bob a little longer. They had been good to Bob. YVouldn't Nurse Jumbo forgive them ? And there in the arms of one of those delinquents lay Bobby, dirty, smiling and fast asleep-but still Bobby. lVith a full heart Nurse Jumbo gathered him up and put him into his father-'s arms. A look of relief came into the professor's face followed quickly by the familiar expression of absent mindedness. He sank into a chair and scanned Bobbyis face as he might have scanned the pages of a favorite book 3 while he murmured with something of his old hopefulness, 4' It is a great problem, Bob, and you and Nurse Jumbo have helped to solve it.

In the days that followed I learned that Miss Martin and Mr. Whitney had strongly influenced the architect causing him to revise his plans which specified for a structure less angular in outline and an entrance less impressive in dignity. In my lonesome progress along this educational boulevard, flagrant odors and in- spiring texts greeted my senses. On my left was a glorious bed of nasturtiums, while from the center rose a sign bearing the inscription, ff Avoid Contact-For laboratory utility only, J. P. L., and on one corner of the building was displayed a placard bear- ing the following notice: ff Lectures on Caterpillarology and Ornithology at all hours of the day. Visitors Cordially VVelcomed. M. ALICE WARREN. Inspired by these indications of scholastic lore I made haste to enter this temple of learning. Gleaming from the sides of the vestibule in letters of gilt, were listed the different departments with their instructors. I slowly spelled out a few- Pedagogy ..... VV. P. Beckwith Philology .....

The placard on the door,- Please Ring, For Everything, touched me by its wide cordialityg I tested its gracious hint. The next instant my mental picture of Dr. Beckwith Qa somewhat attenuated and cleri- ,, Q cal appearing seerj, vanished.

A hearty handshake, and a scrutinizing A AQ ypyi K look from this gentleman assured me of my welcome-provided I N .1 My fra attended to business.
