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.

Athletic Notes. -One of the most enjoyable features of our course in the Salem Normal School is the athletic or gymnastic work. lVe anticipate the two periods in the gymnasium each Week as times of recreation and pleasure, a11d also regard this work as a great benefit ?- k Jil 1 4' 2 aff ,Q 2,1 N 67255-XXX '!E 4f'f,3h I ' mx-T ezgi ,H Y, ,,?,.

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
