The six and a half years since I was here before do not seem such a veryelong time; but since they have been six and a half years crowded with afgreat variety of experience, I may be permitted to throw my re- marks into a form of personal narrative. Six and a half years ago the revolutionary condition in the Philip- pines was at its heighteits crisis. That revolutionary condition Which had taken possession of the minds of the Filipino people was inherited by the United States. After we took possession of these islands the con- test was continued, prolonged, long after the Filipino troops were defeated, in the form of secret organizations throughout the Archipelago. The great question was, what was to be done with these seyen million people? What were the promises to be held out to them? Our government de- cided to do what it has already done here; to rely upon education to bn'ng about social stability; to enlighten not the few, but the entire mass; to educate these ignorant, debased people, living in a scale of life far beneath that which even the meanest human being is entitled to, and increase their industrial ehiciency. My remarks will be largely on ways and means, what was facing us in the educational system in carrying out the task which the government had set for us. There are half a million pagans in the Archipelago, fellows that spend their time racing over the mountains, taking one anotherts heads OE, and on the great Southeastern frontier, there are about fifty thousand Mohammedans, who form two great political powers, two sultanates, great, barbaric, with an undoubted brilliancy and splendor, though built upon slavery and oppression. I speak not of these, however, but of those that are left, the seven million Christians, who form the population of the greater part of the islands. Their aspirations are the same as ours; they are not shut off by fanaticism, as the Mohammedans, nor by ig- norance, as are the pagans, nor are they steeped in the lethargy and calm of the Buddhists. Their faces are set the way ours are set; you can ap- peal to them on the same grounds. These people are one of the coming people. The other tribes of Polynesia are disappearing. Professor Henry Drummond, after coming up through Tahiti and Polynesia a few cu..- 4 WHITE AND GOLD years ago said that in a few generations there wouldn't be a man-jack of those people left; this is true in part, but it is not true of the Malayan por- tion of the people. A hundred years ago the Filipino people numbered 3, million and a half; today they number seven millions If this rate of in- crease continues, you will hnd at the middle of the present century that a people has been built up which will in time equal the Japanese. With the aspirations and the purposefulness that they are, as a people, acquir- ing from the Americans, they will have become a nation of no mean quality A word about the social life. The Archipelago is divided into forty provinces; each province is divided into pueblos of forty square miles or so and inhabited by forty or fifty thousand people. One town is much like all the others, with the wide plaza, the great splendid churchhthese churches, in many ways, surpass our California missionsethe jail, the store and a few fine houses. In these houses you will find people of educa- tion, of culture, you will find pianos, books and pictures and a warm hos- pitality. But up in the woods and along the streams are clusters of hamlets where the mass of the people live in poverty and squalor, utterly illiterate, with no enlightenment whatever; it is these people who make up ninety-seven per cent of the population. The first thing that made itself clear to the government was that whatever institution was to be employed in the archipelago, must be an institution that would reach and educate this great mass. And that is the task that we undertook six years ago. tlThere is now a school within reach of all the children, the children of the rich, the merchant and the peasant classes. We had to figure closely. According to the census reports it was found that there were 1,200,000 boys and girls of school age, throughout the islands. We could not, of course, begin to take all these and give them eight years of in- struction; so we cut the course down to three years, which included the smallest amount of instruction that would be of practical service. This divided the number of children by three, and instead of taking the girl or the boy between the ages of six and fourteen, we took them between the ages of ten and thirteen. This course so arranged included three years of English, during which the pupil learned to read, write and speak the language correctly; enough arithmetic to enable him to cast accounts, realize the condition of crops and know what his debts amounted to; and one year of geography which gave him a general idea of the shape of the earth. This education represents so great an opportunity and has worked Such a revolution that it separates the child from its parents by a wide chasm, and has begun to dissipate the clouds of ignorance that have So long hovered over the archipelago. tlThe first thing to do was to get enough schools, teachers and books. WHITE AND GOLD 5 Schools were started in the districts where ignorance and crime were worst. When these schools were started, there were one hundred thousand chil- dren in attendance; but with our policy the system began expanding rap- idly, and reports show that the next year we had two hundred thousand children, the next three hundred thousand and last year there were half a million. Next, we had to develop a corps of teachers; at the outset there were only eight or nine Americans, and we had to enlist young boys and girls, give them as much of the knowledge required for teaching as possible, and put them to teaching the children. Often a boy or a girl of nineteen or so would have to teach children in the first year, and have himself no knowledge beyond the first year; often a teacher would learn one day for the first time what he or she hadto present to the class the next. Of course this gave rise to many amusing incidents, a few pathetic ones, and plenty of absurdities. But beneath all the absurdities we found a great deal of earnestness. There was an example of this in the work of one of the teachers whose school I visited one day. The class were having a reading lesson from the English chart, and the new letter that was being introduced was j. The teacher was absorbed, and the children, following his pointer on the Chart, were raptly reciting in unison HWe hump at home. We hump at school. I have a dog and he shall hump, too! But these Filipino teachers are interested and enthusiastic, and for the reason that they are teaching the children of their own race, they are apt to hold out longer than Americans. We asked some of the Spanish teachers, too, to come over; but we found that they were too fixed in their methodsetoo ttsotl,eand we had to ship them back. But this corps of native teachers, organized and instructed by American ed- ucators, is the best, most potent element throughout the whole archipel- ago,and wherever you find a young Filipino man or woman teaching school in the districts, you find a person whom the whole community respects and admires. uWhen we first came into possession of the Philippines, it was apoor country; it was our task to build this country up after three years of the most desperate war, after a plague that had killed the cattle, after an epidemic of cholera, after the trade had been ruined by the destruction of crops by the locusts. Yet out of this country we had to raise a revenue for schools. The only place'to get it was from the people themselves. So we went to the Municipal Boards and talked school as hard as ever we could, in order to get their assistance. The revenue now amounts to over t six million pesos a year, or three million dollars. uBut after we had gotten the children and the books and the schools and after we had built up the corps of native teachers, we had to have some sort of administration. You cant keep a thing of this kind going 6 WHITE AND GOLD unless you have some one responsible. At the present, in each province there is a division superintendent Who is an American; he appoints teachers, settles salaries, superintends the financial work, is responsible in every way. Each province is divided into districts, and in each of these is an American teacher, who has the supervision of that district; this means the supervision of as much as two hundred square miles and about fifty thousand people. Some of these district supervisors get up early in the morning and travel all day on foot, on horseback, by sail or canoe, often in weather when it is raining ten or fifteen inches a day; that's pretty heavy rain. These four hundred men are the most splendid, fearless, heroic body of men it has ever been my lot to see. They have escaped death in a thousand ways, have actually met death by violence, by drown- ing and by smallpox; often they go into communities where there are any- where from fifty to two hundred children stricken with smallpox in its most malignant form. And they never realize that the work is heroic. The primary is not the only school, however. We are trying to give all the children three years of instruction and some of the children more. This school, which might be called intermediate, takes children between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. The girl has three years of house- keeping; the first year she learns to clean the house, disinfect it,fight dis- ease germs and sew; the second year she learns to cook; the third year she learns to tend the sick and take care of the little children. The boy, after his three years of English, may choose to be a doctor, a lawyer, a beggar- maneany old thing. He can have three years of industrial work; either in the farming-school, the school work-shop, or the school fisheries. It has been said that the Filipinos donlt like to work, that they prefer to wear good clothes, patent leather shoes and stiff collars. The Filipinos WILL work. They have a facile hand and an accurate eye; they can do with the eye and hand work as delicate as that done by the Japanese. As a people they have an ardent admiration and high respect for manual dexterity; even down in the Mohammedan country, the man Who can make a creese, the sharp sword that will take a manls head off at one stroke, or the man Who can build a boat, is looked up to and called t lextremely clever. l l ttThroughout the islands the man skillful with his hands is respected and admired, as he should be in all countries. Yes, the Filipinos Will work and work hard; they may not enjoy it but they can be made to if their imagination is appealed to; they may not care to raise beans, but they will raise beans if you cast a glamor of romance over it. uLastly, there are forty high schools, one in each province. After the six years of primary and intermediate work, those who can afford it attend the high school. It is different from the high schools over here, being a sort of technical training-school, Whose aim is to put the student WHITE AND GOLD 7 into the possession of a profession. The boy or girl entering the high school can choose any of five courses, the history, literature and science course, the agricultural course, the teachers' course, the elementary tech- nical course, or the commercial course. What are perhaps more showy than these mere facts, are the splendid buildings that we have for high schools. They represent thousands and thousands of pesos coming directly from the people themselves; they were all eager to give, if only to the extent of one peso ta half dollary and those who had nothing else to give, went out and chopped a load of logs and gave that. On its broader and more significant side the work of teaching which I have described to you is even more important, for the reason that it is bringing about equality between the whites and Malays. Ever since Da Gama sailed across the Cape of Good Hope there has been mutual mis- trust, strife and misunderstanding. It is the work of bringing about un- derstanding and trust that our government has undertaken. At any rate, the American teachers are getting very, very close to the hearts of the Filipinos. A MONOGHROME. Cold, cold and gray, The earth,the sky and the sea; The spray breaks high on the rocks, The mists drift back toward the lea, No sound but the sea-birdls cry And the wind as it wanders free; The waves show dim Through the fog,s dark rim. Cold, cold and gray is the sea. --LUTIE MIMMS. 8 WHITE AND GOLD WITH THE OLYMPIANS. A Series of Four StorieseIIeHearts Lie Deep. Last year we had a real, live romance at school. The heroine of it was Miss Mountjoy, the geometry teacher. She was a dear, young and awflly well dressed; not exactly pretty, but terribly aris- tocratic looking, with a straight nose and carried her head high, and had the loveliest hands and nails. You know every once in so often the book men come from the different publishing houses to talk about the new text-books to the teachers. This man that came,he was the her0,wasn,t much different from all the rest-men all look alike when theylre dressed up. He was well- dressed and clean-looking, like all the others, and was polite to all the teachers in the same waye-so we didrft dream he had any preference. The way we got to know his name was this: The next morning T erry and I went up to school early to ask Miss Mountjoy to explain some geometry problems to us; and while she was talkingeit was awfully early yet-a messenger came in with a big box with her name on it. Of course she didnt open it while we were there, but when we went to class, there were the most beautiful Katharine Mermet roses, with great long stems-a dozen or more-on the desk; the box was in the waste- basket, with the wax-paper and all, and on the floor, where I slpose sheld dropped it, was a cardel could see it just as plain, and it read HMr. Carey Shelby. N We girls were crazy about it, but didnt know, of course, who Mr. Carey Shelby was. But they were married during the Christmas vacation, and then it all came out: who he was,how they were both from Boston and had known one another from the cradle, and how she wouldnlt marry him because he was too rich; then he lost everything in the Equitable and had to work for the first time. Its funny how news travels up here at school. Everyone knew all about them the first day after vacation. They went to Boston to live. So Miss Mountjoy left us and Miss Blair came to take her place. And thats what I started out to tell you. We didnt like Miss Blair very welle-Terry especiallyeebecauseel dont know exactly why, but she was queer, and weld been pretty fond of Miss Mountjoy, so it was kind of a comeadown to have her successor so ordinary. Miss Blair wasnlt pretty, either, but she didnt make up for it by being well-dressed or aris- tocratic-looking. She did her hair plain and wore glassesenot the nice kind that have no rims and a little gold chain that fastens in your hair, WHITE AND GOLD 9 but regular specseand never wore nice, pretty, fussy things, only plain shirtwaists and dark skirts and a black watch-cord-which helped, I slpose, to make us dislike her. I guess its true that first impressions count the most; I know our first impression of Miss Blair wasnlt pleasant. She was awflly strict and cold that lirst day, didnlt smile a bit or appear interested in us. She was terribly hard to get along with in class, wouldnlt smile at us in the hall, or anything like that, and never came to the dances and receptions and things up at school. So we never saw her except in class and she didnlt TRY to be nice, even. I guess none of us liked Miss Blair. I know we discussed her a lot and tried to figure out why she should be so disagreeable.' Terry always had some grievance or other-Ilve forgotten just what they were; well, for one thing, Terryls a wiz in geometry, you know, and Miss Mountjoy had always sort of noticed her. But Miss Blair didnlt seem to notice or care. Well, as I was saying, we talked about her a lot and I guess she knew it. Its awfully hard not to be friends with your teachers-it pays so well. No, I didnlt mean just that, either. But you know how it is; if they know you and you know them them a little, why, its so easy, they,re so much more understandable and understanding. School- teachers are the nicest people going when they ARE nice-look at Mr. Curtis, nowl-and when they arent nice, they,re the limit. And here,s where Miss Holmes comes in. From the minute Miss Blair arrived, she and Miss Holmes were friends. That alone kept me guessing. Miss Holmes-we call her Sherlock, shels so keen about finding out whether you,re blufflng; and oh, she isnlt mean about it, either!-we11, Miss Holmes is the zoology teacher and she's just splendid! Everyone likes Sherlock-even the stupidest; if youlre stupid she isnlt horrid a bit, but really helps you, and if you do shine, even the faintest glimmer, she notices it and treats it with the respect she would a real searchlight. Then during exams, she doesnt stay in the room and tiptoe around and nail you with her eye to see if you're cheating; she often leaves the room for the whole period and no one dreams of cheating, no matter how little they know-itld be like betraying a trust. She didn't manage it either, by lectures on our sense of honor; she just did it, and relied on our common sense. Shels all right. You never hear anyone say a word against Sherlock-even when theylve flunked; they know shels square and that they deserved it. Shels pretty, too; tall, with big dark eyes and Huffy hair and the sweetest, kindest, most humorous smile. She isnlt young; her hair's quite gray. Imagine the diiference between her and Miss Blair-yes, it was funny, but they were awflly good friends. Weld been planningwus hve girls, Terry and Gladys and Corinne 10 WHITE AND GOLD and Lucy and me-to give Sherlock Holmes a surprise party on Valen- tinets evening, not for any special reason except that she was nice and we liked her. It was loads of fun planning it; we were going to make fudge and salad and cake and clubhouse sandwiches and order icecream; and Gladys made some smart,heart-shaped menu cards in scarlet and green and black. It was to be immense and the landlady where Miss Holmes lived had promised to help us. Just the day before Valentines day, a dreadful thing happened to us all, but to Terry in especial, that came near to wrecking our plans. Terry had lost her geometry problems that shed worked out and had had all ready to hand in. She told Miss Blair about it and thought, of course, that shed let her off. Miss Mountjoy wouldlve. But, mind you, Miss Blair made her work them all over again and hand them in before noon. We thought it was outaand-out mean. Well, that same day the algebra class had got back some exam papers and most of tern had flunked, and they were holding an indignation meeting on the front porch after school that afternoon. Well, Terry,s fur hadnlt sub- sided yet-and you know how misery loves companyeso we joined the crowd and had a regular pow-wow then and there about Miss Blair; how unfair she was, though we knew all along that she wasnlt. The more we talked, the louder we talked and the worse it got-you know how it is-and the more personal things we said. Terry was flushed and ex- cited and those dinky little freshmen were listening to her as if she were an anarchist and they the impressionable populace; she was just saying, HWe11,if I couldnt be pretty or wear nice clothes, AT LEAST Ild try to be half-way decent, sols to even up things. But to be ugly and unstylish AND a bear-!, l and just then Miss Blair and Sherlock Holmes came out of the door suddenly, Miss Blair blushing and not looking at us, and dear old Miss Holmes haughty and staring at us coldly as if we were some- thing new in bacteria. She looked at us five girls one by one, as they passed, without a scrap of recoKr ition. And we knew theyld heard. The freshmen dissolved; ey smelled sulphur in Terryls eye. She couldn't say a thing for a mi .te, but stared after Miss Blair and Sher- lock as if shetcl run after them Then she looked at all of useand I guess we were as near tombstones as anything else for cheerfulness-and her eyes began to fill and her chin to tremble. Poor old Terry. She doesn't cry at little things, either. It WAS a horrid business. I don,t know which was the worst to see, Miss Blair blushing and conscious for the first time, Miss Holmes haughty and cold for the first time, or our poor old Terry staring after them and back at us, with the tears of shame run- ning down her cheeks. The first question that came up was, how should we square ourselves WHITE AND GOLD 11 with Miss Blair; for, of course, you see, it was a tribe-alfairewe wouldnt have dreamed of shoving the whole responsibility onto poor Terry. And next, how could we ever approach Sherlock about it. And there was the surprise -party. Weld all saved all our spending money for the last month and we couldn,t bear to have it fall through-and the menu-cards were all made and the Neapolitan ice-cream ordered! Finally we decided to risk it; to have the surprise and a big comfortable lfess-up all together with Miss Holmes, and rely on her to help us out in regard to Miss Blair. We tried to comfort Terry and recover the nice spirit of anticipation; but somehow even St. Valentine seemed stony-hearted. The next day everything was the same as usual; Miss Blair was just the same as ever, cold and distant, not a whit changed; we didnt go near Miss Holmes, and I guess Terry would have walked five miles tolve avoided going to zoology lecture. None of us felt in a. specially festive mood, even toward the end of the day, and to cap the climax, Lucy's mother sent a message saying that Lucy couldnlt come to the party; she had a sick headache. Imagine how we felt. We were positively weak-kneed; I dont believe anyone ever realized what safety there is in? numbers. Then of course Terry had to have an attack of cold feet, and it took an hour or so to coax and bully her into seeing reason. It was only when she was reminded that the N eapolitan cream was ordered and would be eaten by the landlady at our expense, that she sat up and took notice. So we went, finally. When we actually got to the upper hall and were preparing for the onslaught, I began to feel silly and weak and giggly, and if Terry hadn't had another panic I'd have had hysterics then and there probably. But it took me and Gladys and Corinne to talk her into a suitable frame of mind; and even then she objected so persistently that Corinne took one arm and Gladys the other and I pushed behind, down the hall like a streak to Sherlockls room. Before she had a chance to run, Corinne knocked at the door and opened it and in we marched. May- be you think we weren't surprised. The light wasnlt on, but there was a dandy fire in the fireplace, and a row of apples roasting on the grate, and there, sitting cross-legged on the floor like two girls, with the chaling-dish lamp and a box of marsh- mallows between them, were Miss Holmes and Miss Blair! Talk about your surprise parties! Of all the idiotic, painful, impossible, unheard- of situations, that was the worst. We were all-we girlseutterly speechless, and I felt Terry begin to jerk away, as if sheld bolt, so I cleared my throat. But dear old Sherlock saved my life by beginning, HWhy, girls! Terry, Corinne,Gladys and Leslie! wherels Lucy? Isn't this jolly! Wait till I lick the marshmallow off this hat pin and well have 12 WHITE AND GOLD a light. What does it all mean?H and ran on in the easiest, kindest, most girlish way. You,d neverlve known her for the same person that had stared so coldly at us on the school porch the afternoon before. She jumped up and turned on the light, and there was Miss Blair in the full glare of the electric light, still sitting tailor-fashion on the hearth- rug, with a toasted marshmallow dribbling off her hatpin, and she smiling up at us-yes, she was smiling, like a girl, for the first time; I guess we all stared pretty hard, we coulant help it. Then Sherlock said, HMiss Blair, have you ever met these young ladies? lSpecial friends of mine. Corinne James, Teresa Lang, Gladys Mason, Leslie ChestereMiss Blair.H She was so dear and funny that we all laughed and that made it easier. The best part of all is the part that is hardest to tell. Such a splen- did time we had, telling stories and playing games and toasting marsh- mallows. The spread was great andedo you know-Gladys had brought that sixth menu card that should have been Lucyls, so Miss Blair had that. Wasn't that luck? Everything looked prettye-the table spread on the floor, with the Neapolitan cream, pink and white and green, and the cards and a big green Japanese bowl of acacia in the middle. It WAS a surprise party, though. I donlt think any of us girls will ever forget it-and Miss Blair, how dear she was, and humorous and interesting, just as we'd never dreamed she could be. ThereIs only one thing that I can say, and that's the biggest compliment I know of; she was worthy of being Sherlockls friend. In the middle of the spread she had to go, though it was early still. We were all honestly sorry. Sheld just stood up and was saying good- bye, with her hand on the door knob, When T erry-whold been quiet and saddish all the eveningegot up quick with her eyes burning big and black and her face gone white. I tried to pull her down, but she switched free and knocked my spoon out of my hand with her haste. We all felt sort of frightened and foreboding, but there wasn't much time for that, for Terry spoke up sharply in the still room, not seeing any of us but Miss Blair: t'Youlll forgive me, wonlt you--oh, Miss Blair, wonlt you-!', and her voice dropped into a ragged little whisper at the end, and she held out her hand across the table-cloth to Miss Blair by the door. Miss Blair didn't say a word but caught Terry,s hand in a fierce, loving sort of way; her eyes were wet and her breath was quick. Then all of a sudden she was gone and Terry stood sort of reminiscently for a minute. We were all quiet, all thinking, I splose of the same thing. Then Sherlock said suddenly, HIlll have some fudge, I think, Corinne, and we were all n'ght again. After we,d finished and the light was turned off again and we were I WHITE AND GOLD 13 sitting by the fire, Terry leaning against Sherlocks kneeewe felt that all the nice things were Terryls clue that evening, somehoweMiss Holmes, without any warning, began to tell us a story. It was about a girl, the eldest of four, whose father had died when they were all very young, leaving the mother to support them. It wasnt a pleasant story. The girl had talent that ought t0,ve been cultivated, but there wasnlt money and, worse, there wasnlt time. She had to go out to teach when she was sixteen, in a mining towne-rough boys as old as she, and older. There were six years of that; then she worked her way through college, and everything was looking hopeful, when she-the girlewas in a railway accident and was injured; she was laid up for two years, and all the money sheld saved was spent for doctors and hospitals. So she started over, never quite well again, teaching in a high school, and was beginning to look ahead again after a little, when her youngest brother lost all he bade which was precious little-in a worthless bank, and he with a wife and little baby. The girl helped him-gave him all she hadeshe was the sort to give and he was the sort to take-and started out again for a. third fight. That's all there was to the story, and Sherlock ended: Would you blame the girl if she'd lost heart, and faith in the world and men? Would you blame her if she had grown hard and cold on the outside in her en- deavor to keep the divine flre alive in her heart for the sake of her nearest and dearest? Would you, Terry? And then, suddenly, we knew. 14 WHITE AND GOLD TO THE FACULTY. Miss Billings says, the While she slashes Your English ex.

The big boys at the school had, the term before, compelled their teacher, Bob Firm, to ride out of the schoolhouse astride a fence-post. After this rather undignihed exit, the crestfallen pedagogue never re- turned. Therefore the trustees of the district, thinking that perhaps a lady might be treated with a little more respect and consideration, employed Sarah McGregor, a graduate of the San Diego Normal School, as the teacher. For a number of years it had been customary, on the last Friday of each month, to have an oldiashioned spelling match at the school-house. On this particular night the rain dashed in torrents against the weather- beaten wall of the little frame building, and the wind shrieked hideously around its corners, but nevertheless the usual crowd had collected by the red-hot stove inside. Billy Clowes, big and awkward, was standing beside the stove, ab- sorbing as much heat as possible, his coat-tails steaming like plum-pudding all the While. Becoming a little over-heated, he moved hastily to one side; as he did so, he came violently into contact With the number ten boots of Sandy Saunders, his rival from infancy. Billy had no intent in mind, but Sandy, being rather sensitive about his feet, immediately took offense and a row arose then and there between the two. The ending might have had serious results for the two participants, had not the ringing of the teachers' bell called every one to order. Jacob McGraw, on account of his gray hairs, was generally the leader on such occasions. HNaow, ladies and gentlemen, he began, Hweire gathered tonight here fer the purpose ofeaheereah-reviewinieererathereahem!- the refreshin' 0f our-ere-memories With a few of the helegant words of our splendid Hinglish langwidge. I happoint Sandy Saunders and Billy Clowes to be choosers. This oft-repeated introductory speech was greeted With the usual degree of applause. Then Billy tossed a penny to Sandy. Everybody was breathlesss with excitement, for the Winning of the match depended upon the first choice. Sandy caught the coin on his extended palm and showing it to McGraW, exclaimed gleefully, t tIt's heads. With an angry glare at each other the two leaders stalked with dig- nity to their places by the front blackboard. t tMoses Bagby, ', shouted Sandy. Moses had been the champion in all spelling matches for years, so everyone accordingly considered the match won. Sandy, after making his choice, folded his arms and, leaning back against the wall, smiled sweetly at his hated rival. WHITE AND GOLD 17 But Billy had one faint hothhe new teache:. i i Sarah McGregor, ' ' he roared. Amid the shouts of the crowd these two took their respective places. Sarah walked timidly to the front; but Moses, with a scornful glance in her direction, strode with a confident air past the ranks of lesser mortals, for did he not know that old State Series spelling-book by heart? Be- sides, what could that slip of a girl do in a spelling match? The next best spellers were rapidly chosen until those who reached their limit in words of one syllable were taken. The spelling at last began. Jacob pronounced each word with an awful deliberation, striking terror to the core of those whose vocabularies were limited. Over half went down the first time around. With wildly beating hearts and wavering knees Sandy and Billy held their own. But the extraordinary success was not to endure so very long. Billy spelled spectator s-p-e-c-t-a-t-e-r, and fell. Sandy, with an exultant glance at his crestfallen rival, slowly spelled the word s-p-e-c-t-a-t-o-r-e. A subdued titter ran around the lines as Sandy, with a hang-dog expression on his averted face, shuiiied to a seat in the corner. - Half an hour passed and all were down but two-Moses and his new- found competitor, the little school-mistress. Jacob pronounced words now as if he were throwing snow-balls at the heads of the spellers. Sarah spelled timidly, but with painful precision; Moses spelled his words in a careless offhand manner. He had not learned that speller by heart for nothing. The very hardest words in the back of the book were reached, but to no purpose, for Greek had met Greek. The book was finished and still these two stood face to face undaunted. Poor Jacob scratched his bald head in bewildeiment; then turning to the audience, he said, HIf Doctor VanMeter be present, will he kindly suggest some word from his learned stock fer em to try.PH The old country doctor stood up. Anxiously rubbing his chubby hands together, the good man remained in deep thought for a few min- utes. Moses lost his self-composure, and began to hitch up his trousers and pull at his coat-tails. But the the plucky litttle school-teacher be- trayed no signs of agitation. The rest felt the crisis was drawing near and waited with bated breath for the outcome. The doctor took a step nearer, but still was silent. The suspense was becoming intolerable. Then slowly he gave the word: iiglossopharyngeal. It was Moses' turn to spell. He grew more nervous than before; he wriggled and twist- ed, he hitched at his trousers and rubbed his shiny face. Then he opened his mouth, but no sound came; be cleared his thrdat and tried once more, 18 WHITE AND GOLD Rather haltingly he began to spell, HGl-o-s-o-f-it's too much for me, he broke off, Hltain,t fair, neither, I give up. It was the first time in three years he had gone down, and as he scrambled for a seat he muttered again, tl 'Tain't fair. Sarah remembered where she had heard the word so many times and besides, she could see it boldly penciled in blue across a page in her zoology note-book. Closing her eyes she spelled slowly, UG-l-o-s-s-o-p-h-a-r-y-n- g-e-a-1-glossopharyngea1. Billyls side had won, though the Doctor was the only one in the room Who knew whether the word had been spelled correctly. FROM THE OUTSIDE. CONGRESSMAN SMITH. On Friday, September the twenty-first, the school had the pleasure of meeting the Honorable Mr. Smith, of the House of Representatives, and of being addressed by him. Mr. Marston introduced Mr. Smith, referring to his honorable position, the deep interest he had for things educational in our country and state, and the great pleasure he gave us in coming to us as soon as he arm'ved in the city. Mr. Smith spoke as fol- lows; I can assure you that Whatever pleasure you may have is more than equalled by my own pleasure in being able to address you. I spent several years as a school-teacher and I have always considered them to be the most profitable years of my life. One realizes, as one goes on through life, the great responsibility resting on the teachers of the coun- try. The political position I hold enables me to have a nearer view of the national life, and I can see better the effect of good citizenship and of the attitude of the common people on the institutions of the country. I hear, too, much of mischief. Some schools think that all political men are rogues, and politics is an evil road to success. This idea is shocking. I oEer the opinion that this phase of life is much exaggerated. In one of our magazines there has been published lately a series of articles called The Treason of the Senate. the writers of Which call themselves muck- rakers. Literature of this sort is due, I am convinced, to the whim of the day. If I believed that the things these articles say are true, I know that during my own life I should see the end of the Republic No such rogues as are depicted there could rule my country. I am not here, however, to offer a certificate to our ohicial life. But I do know this; I am odnvinced that this official Life fairly well reflects the intellect and WHITEAND GOLD 19 and morals of the common people; they are no higher or grander, but they are not below them. ttSo it lies with your school teachers to develop and form the char- acter 0f the future American people, and through them of the officials. Sad to say, the burden of education is nowadays being shifted from the parents to the teacher. And thus your connection with the affairs of every-day life is incresing: you cannot overestimate your responsibility when you take up the pathway in life which you have chosen. For your individual character is stamped on the life of every boy and girl under your jurisdiction. If you are honest and upright, so they Will be: and that is one thing that will save the Republic: it is the thing that your moth- ers and fathers held above all else; common Honesty-common, every- day, home-made Honesty. Without that the Republic Will not stand: With it , it Will be as enduring as the ages. HI hope to live to see the day when you young women will all be voters: no citizen will have more responsibility on election-day than you Will have: and the accumuation of your civil votes will determine the vice or virtue of the men you put in office. I feel more than a passing interest in this school, for I cast my vote for the first appropriation for it. Nor did my efforts cease there: I have continued to give to give it my support since. Another schoolialong with yours, for which I have great sympathy and interest, is the Poly- technic School at San Luis Obispo, which was created by my bill. This school is doing an important work, along with yours. Its purpose is the education of youths for the unprofessional walks of life, to take up the home-life of the state: or, as we often say, to ttgo back home. Those boys and girls that are being educated and sent out to work in the home- side of life, and you who work here, will constitute the best life of Cali- fornia. You, having taken the youth of the state from the hands of their fathers and mothers, will give them such training and character- building as Will induce faith in their fellow-men and insure the perpetuity of the feeling of responsibility in a self-governing people. We ought not to misunderstand the idea of true duty to our government. It lies in the feeling, in each one of us, that we have the responsibility on our shoulders, that we must go to the frontf as the saying is, and help bear the burden of the day. For it is doing these things that makes us strong. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY REPORT. This quarter has furnished some real treats in Student Body pro- grams Which were not even hoped for. At the meeting on Jan. let, a good musical program was rendered. Among the numbers were some cleverly illustrated songs. At the last meeting, held Feb. 15th, a very enjoyable program was presented. There was a vocal duet by the Misses Fuidge; a reading by Miss Pruitt and a farce entitled t tAunt Susan Jones' ' Cast of characters: Aunt Susan Jones .................................... Ysabel Brooks Mrs. Markley ...................................... Lillian Anderson Susan Arabella ................................ Mary Belle Williams Anna Wilson ........................................ Gladys Waters The installation of officers was also a feature of the meeting. The officers installed were as follows: President, Miss Sibyl Morrison; Vice-president, Mr. Robert Tyson; Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Adelle Byron; Social Committee, Alma Stephens tchairmaandith NeH, Nan Drury, Ada West and Hattie Jordan. The students are fortunate in having in their midst a clever elocu- tionist, Miss Gertrude Rieke, who has entertained at several of the meet- ings with her delightful selections. The school has also been afforded the opportunity of enjoying the results of steady practice by the orchestra. SCHOOL ATHLETICS. Basket-ball and indoor base ball have both taken prominent places in the girls, sports during the last quarter, though captain ball still holds its own. Besides the regular weekly practice games, the basket-ball WHITE AND GOLD 21 girls gave us two very interesting and highly enthusiastic games, one before Thanksgiving holidays, and one before the Christmas holidays. These games were attended by a large crowd of Normalites and all, including the players, seemed to get lots of sport out of them. The lineup of the two teams was as follows: WHITES YELLows I.

Haines, M. Grandstaif Indoor baseball has become quite popular with the girls, and for a time great rivalry existed between the ttWhitest' and the HYellows. Three grand games were played between the two teams for championship of the school; the UYellowsH finally carried off the honors, winning two games out of the three. Indoor base ball with its modified rules seems to be a good game for the girls, though it has one drawback in the fact that it cannot be played out in the open. Now that the courts are in good shape again, tennis is being indulged in by the faithful few to a considerable extent. Let us hope that before long the term Ufaithful few will be changed to Hfaithful many, as no one knows the sport one can get out of tennis until it has been tried. SCHOOL NOTES. Immediately after the game played the day before the Thanksgiving holidays, the members of the basket-ball teams spent a jolly evening at the home of their coach, Miss Tanner. After a fine supper served to four- teen hungry girls, the evening was spent in playing games, singing songs and having a general good time. :1: an: :1: Miss Josephine Clark entertained the members of the Rhine Gold crew at the t tLoomist ' on November the 16th. :I: a: a: Miss Ruth Price was hostess at a very successful dinner party on the evening of January 19th.

Have you solved it? THEORY AND PRACTICE. HYou canlt talk to me about raising children. I guess I know just about as much about it as any one. I do think it's scandalous the way some people let their youngsters carry on. There isnlt a reason in the world why a child cant be made to mind. All you have to do is to per- severe and you will accomplish the desired ends. Ilve attended mothersl meetings ever since I have been married, and I know all of the best meth- ods and understand perfectly all the theories of child raising. Itls per- fectly cruel to administer corporal punishment and I, for one, donlt be- lieve in it. Why, it's simply inhuman. A Whipping does all very well for a dog, but a childv-bless his heart-should be treated in a different way. As I said before, all you have to do is to use patience, kindness and perseverance, and you will have no trouble at all. Never give up, just keep at a thing and you will succeed. Just here a shrill sound was heard at the other end of the hall, sug- gestive of a small Indian war cry: l t Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo! The speaker seemed to recognize it for she immediately ended her dis- cussion and made haste in the direction of the call. thh mama! Hearthe echo! Hoo-hoo! To which the echo answered clearly back, Hoo-hon WHITE AND GOLD 25 HYes, but Percival, dear, you mustn,t make such a noise. It dis- turbs the meeting. Hoo-hoo. ii UPercival! mama said not to do that. A little pause, and then, t t Hoo-hoo-o. , i t t Now mind mama and be quiet. i i Percival cast a sidelong glance at his mother and then out came the itHoo-hoo once more. HPercival! If you dont be quiet, that big lady will come down here and scold Percival dreadfully.H After a little, NLook, mama, look, Hoo-hoo!H HNow dont you dare say that again. A short pause followed in which Percival alternately looked at his mother and at the ladies at the other end of the hall. i t Say, mama, looke-Hoo-hoo !' , ttPercival! IeIe-I dont know what I shall do With you. Don't you dare say that again. H A little longer pause followed this, and then a little after came the HHoo-hoo!H HLook here, young man, if you dare say that again 1,11 shut you up in that dark closet in the corner. , i The young experimenter looked once at his mother and then twice at the closet. HHoo-hoof, he shrilled tentatively. At this Percival was taken hold of with rather violent hands and marched in the direction of the closet. t tMamafs going to shut you up in that dark, black closet. ' i H1,11 come out again. t t No, you can't come out until you can be a good boy. i i Here the closet door was opened and shut, and When it shut Percival was on the other side of it. It immediately opened again, however, and our hero appeared. ttPercival, I told you to stay in there. And he was put in again. This time the door was locked. As before he tried the door but finding it would not open, he set up such a howl that the ladies all turned around wonderingly. That would never do, so mama unlocked the door. itIf you will be good now and not say tHoo-hool' any more, Iill let you out. Now run and play. Mamais darling caught up his ball and bounded across the door. ttHoo-hooy, HHoo-hoo!H he called, and the echo came back softly With a UHoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo?y 26 WHITE AND GOLD EXCHANGES.

AN AFTERPIECE Everybody wondered why pretty, American-born Selma Carlson married Olaf Jonlsen, who was only six months out of Sweden, and seemed stupid. But Olaf was steady, thrifty and kind-heartcd, and made Selma an admirable and easily managed husband. Sometimes, however, Olaf proved amusing, even to Selma; she tells of one occasion when she sent him with some aching teeth to the dentist. After the teeth were extracted, Olaf, instead of leaving the oHice, hung about ex- pectantly. uII there something more you want done? asked the dentist.

Granger Block, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. THE WRITING AND TEACHING OF HISTORY Prof. W. Morse Stephens tchort of an addresu delivered in the Auditorium September, 19061 It is seldom that we have an opportunity of getting the point of View of one of the really big people of the outside world, of which so much is heard and so little-by us-actua11y seeen. Professor W. Morse Steph- ens, of the University of California is one of these people, and his visit to us, on the morning of October the eighth, was an unusaul treat. It is impossible to reproduce, in cold print, the easy charm of manner that characterized him: or in any way to indicate the English purity of his utterances. In the midst of our very American enunciation and pro- nunciation, it is pleasant to hear anyone speak in the Kings English of the mother-country. Professor Stephens began his speech by saying that he had often thought that we people of California do not realize what a tremendous asset it is to own the Spanish names: he said that throughout California, as throughout the east, in the names of various places we find a certain sense of historic meaning, that calls up delightful reminiscences of the past, He added that in teaching history one of the greatest difhculties is to make the people grasp what past time really means, and referred to his first visit to Chicago, where he was struck by the fact that they dated everything from 1871. He said that, while at Cambridge they are so proud of a building there that they back to 1736, at Oxford from which institution he graduated, 1736 represents a very debased modern period? that there antiquity has a very different meaning, even the thir- teenth and fourteenth centuries being considered Uhideously modern. He went even further, and mentioned the antiquity of Egypt: and added that, considering these facts, the question of the past is, after all, en- tirely relative. And he congratulated California, therefore, on her pos- session of an antiquity dating back to 1769. He averred that we cannot teach anybody anything; we can only stimulate others to learn: that in his University work he finds that teach- ing is, after all, but preparing the soul. stimulating to the right point of View. He remarked that history changes With each generation: that a thing may be taught as positive knowledge in one generation, and may be changed entirely in the next, each being the writer of its own history. Furthermore, that a great deal of inaccuracy is due to the historian and 4 ' WHITE AND GOLD his own personal point of view: and, apropos of this, Mr. Stephens de- clared that it is the business of the historian to discover the facts and from these facts to build up the past: to do this from an absolutely unbiased impersonal point of view, without taking sides, though possibly pointing a moral. He went on to say that in modern times we are attempting to teach history in its wider sense, which means the study of man's life not from theipolitical side alone: that history, taken in its wider sense, is a narrative of civilization which makes for peace, development and character: that therefore it is just as important to know about the char- acter and career of Beethoven, as about that of Napolion, to know what Michel Angelo stood for as William the Conqueror. He said that in study- ing the past and teaching it, we cannot dogmatize, we can only try to find out What happened, and then we can draw general conclusions and make generalizations: that we cannot find out What occurred from for- mer histories, since historians wrote not for truth but for interest. He cited, as an instance of this, how Carlyle, in his history of the French Revolution, depicted the character and appearance of Roberpierre, and added that, all through the older history works, one finds a very palpable attempt to arouse the interest of the reader by imaginary descriptions of sanguinary horrors that never occurred. He showed how, in truth, this love of horror and retailing of the impossible and exaggerated, is scarcely less marked today in the yellow journalism of the country. He said that nowadays history writers were not only trying to recover the true history of the past, but to build up accurately the accounts of the history-making events taking place in the present times. He referred to our terrible calamity of the eighteenth of April: and told how, five days after the fire, the governor of the state ordered that a committee of historians be appointed to write an accurate account of what happened. He said that he, being chosen a member of this committee, was given a chance to gain a correct historical account from every possible authority: Governor Pardee put into his hands draughts of all telegrams sent out by him: Mayor Schmitz gave him all documents issued by him, and the police and school authorities answered all questions. Beside this, he said that circulars were sent out asking for personal accounts and that these came in from all sides, from men of all races and conditions, and told from as many different points of view, in all above three thousand different accounts. Any one would suppose, he went on to say, that from this mass of documents and authorities and personalia it would be a comparatively easy matter to compile and write an accurate account And yet, there was hardly a point that was not controverted, that did not have numberless varying accounts. If, then, it is practically impos- sible in these times, when we have all the machinery of the present cen- WHITE AND GOLD S tury-the telegraph, the telephone, the automobileeto get a perfectly correct narrative of what occurred in San Francisco in April of this year, how much more difhcult is it to find out what happened in Rome 1800 years ago? As a fair example of how imagination works on the human mind, he told a story he had heard from Manager Stone of the Associated Press, of how a citizen of good repute rushed into hiSeStonels-oflice during the excitement following the earthquake, and recounted how he had seen a number of looters shot down: and how When reporters were sent to the spot they found that no such thing had occurred. Professor Steph- ens contended that this did not in the least reflect on the citizens veracity, that it merely indicated that he had perfectly honestly imagined the thing: and he added that for the reason of this failing in all of us, not one in a million of us, in all likelihood, eouid write an absolutely veracious history. He said that, considering these things, it is easily seen of how much more real value one document is to the historian than any number of personal memories: that the things we really KNOW-hOW many loaves were distributed here, and how many refugees were clothed there- are the only things that we can really bank on. In conclusion he pointed out that is far wiser for the advanced historian, in the knowledge of his many limitations, to assert With care and modesty, for sometimes, as in the case of the Fourth of July, his most treasured associations, turn out to be mere historical myths. WITH THE OLYMPIANS A Series of Four StorieseIIIeMutable Semper Long before Miss Cheveley came up to school to teach history, we knew all about her. The way it happened was this: Mrs. Burroughs, one of motherls Ohio friends, was over to dinner one day and mother and she got into a discussion about woman and her sphere; and Mrs. Burroughs said that she didn't think a woman had any business giving up a happy married life for the sake of a Hcareer, no matter how independent she might feel. ltWhy, look at Emily Cheveley! said she. ttShe was en- gaged to Carden Faradayeyou remember him, Matilda-and they were to have been married three years ago this June. Then she got it into her head that what she wanted was not Carden buta Career,and sent him away and took to schoolteachingeschoolteaching, mind you. And here Garden is making a name for himself that hes still Wild to give to her, and she's still teaching history and eating her heart out for her lost youth and all its promises, and too proud to own it! No. Let the women who arenlt in love teach School if they will-itls good for ,em-but a girl as fine as Emily Cheveley was made for better things than that. Now what dlyou think of that? Wasnlt it romantic? But the rest is more romantic than that. It wasnt more than two months after this, I guess, that Mr. Harding, our history head, resigned, and who should his successor be but that same Emily Cheveley that Mrs. Burroughs had talked about! Imagine how excited we girls were. And wasnlt it just like a novel, when you come to think of it? Such grand nameseEmily Cheve- ley and Garden Faradayeand the way it all ended-but I havenlt gotten to that yet. Miss Cheveley wasn't pretty, like Sherlock, nor smart like Miss Mount- joy, but somehow we were all hers the first day. She had big, nice, gray- blue eyes, rather far apart, and she had a trick of smiling With them so that the corners would crease and crinkle and laugh while her mouth was perfectly sober. She had brown hair in a flat knot on her head and a deep, humorous, monotonous voice that sounded like rain on the roof. We gradually got to know her pretty well and she was just the kind of person whom yould suppose a man named Carden Faraday would want to marry. Just before Easter, Lois Gardiner heard her father say to her mother that held heard, almost to a certainty, that Doctor Fairfax, our physics professor ttheylre both Elks, you knowl was going to be married during the Spring vacation. Well, the school went about crazy! If you knew Doctor Fairfax, yould understand why. Hels little and dark and wears thick glassesethe kind that make your eyes look little and pop-eand the WHITE AND GOLD 7 ugliest, oh, the most AWFUL neckties! The first thing Gladys said when we heard the news was that whoever he married, she did hope to good- ness his wife would have some sense about harmony of color. HHarmony of color is Gladysl slogan. She got it from Mr. Tregarde, the drawing teacher, and rings it in whenever she has a chance. Well, as I said, the whole school was hysterical over the news. But even if Doctor Fairfax is ugly and his ties atrocious, hes a dear, jolly and easy and friendly, and we felt it our duty, sort of, to get him some kind of a wedding present-a remembrance from the whole A. S. B., you know. Well, we had a series of meetingswLucy is the presidente and finally we decided that a silver tea service would be a simple and worth-while present. I think the assessment was twenty-five cents. I was appointed chairman of the selection committee, and 1,11 tell you right now it certainly was stunningeeI mean the tea-serviceedull silver with rococo edges and all that. We had Doctor Fairfaxt initial engraved on it and it was to be delivered at school in time for the chapel exercises the Friday before vacation. The thing was to be a surprise to the whole faculty. None of them knew a thing about it. Lucy was to make the presentation speech and it was going to be great. And after all our prep- arations, to think how miserablyabut I haven't gotten there yet. Well, when Friday morning came, we were terribly excited, of course, and Lucy was all shaky and panicky, and the tea-service was underneath the piano; one of the boys had promised to lift it on top the minute Lucy got to the words, l t I present this slight token of the esteem of the A. S. B. and wish you all joy in your future life. T hat last part was the way a politician hnished a speech to us once, only his last word was work, in- stead of life. It all went beautifully except when John lifted the thing onto the piano just a minute too soon and Lucy forgot and said work in- stead of life. When it was all said and done there was the most ghastly stillness in the assembly. The faculty all looked surprised and interested and they all turned toward Doctor Fairfax. He, poor man, sat forward on the extreme edge of his chair, clutching the arms, his eyes looked popper and more horror-stricken than ever and his face was a deep, thick Indian red. The room was so still I wanted to yell or shoot off a pistol or some- thing. Oh! awful. And every second the silence was deeper and the smiles of the faculty broader and more expectant. Finally, Doctor Fairfax got up from his chair as if he,d been climbing mountains the day before, and drifted sort of helplessly up to the front of the platform with his hands dangling at his sides. He had a positively hunted look on his face and his eyes rolled from one side to the other be- hind his thick glasses; when he opened his mouth and no sound came he smiled in the silliest, most vacant way. That smile cleared things up 8 WHITE AND GOLD and the strain broke and we clapped and yelled till I thought the dome would crack. When the racket had partway subsided and he'd got his breath back again, he took OUR breath away by stammering, HWhye-er--there must be-I assure you, there must be some mistake. I dont know--Ilm sure- how you happened to be the victims ofeeresuch an absurdwer-mis- understanding. As for youreerebeautiful gift, I am notger-house- keeping, nor do I expect to be; notwithstanding my-er-deep appre- ciation of your-erekind thought, I must beg to decline this elegant- eretoken. There is no more that I can say, except, perhaps, this: er- I sincerely urge you not to-ereto believe all you may hear. However thisaereabsurd mistake may have occurredeerel thank you, and he backed away and sat down and after a blank instant the faculty melted away and left the platform empty, with that sickening, vulgar-looking tea-service still sitting insolently on the piano. Illl never forget how we all felt. We met and talked it all over and wondered what weld do, and every time we met Doctor Fairfax in the hall weld pretend we were talking hard about the weather or politics or some- thing and he'd drift past, looking conscious and distant. It was AWFUL. Of course we had to return the thing-the old service, I mean, and of course the selection committee had to serve as the returning committee and I still was chairman. I dont know how it happened, but with one thing and another, we being so disgusted and sort of ashamed to return the thing, and procrastination being the thief of time, as you know, that everlasting service stayed in the lower part of the sideboard in Lucy's motherls dining-room till after vacation. We hadnit the face to return it, and I s'pose if Fate hadrft stepped in and loaded the dice, you might say, itd be reposing there yet and the martyred committee would long since have paid that money back to the A. S. B. But, as I intimated, that wasnt the end of it. The Tuesday after school opened, when the faculty came into the assembly for chapel exercises, President Flagg had a strange man with him. A strange man in himself isntt an unusual occurrence; and we always welcome the sight of one because President Flagg always asks him for a speech; and that takes a quarter of an hour off the morning period. They come in all sizes and styles, every sort of creature from missionaries and former students to senators and really big fellows. But this man wasnt the usual missionary-or-student; he wasn't the kind you could assign to any class of men, rather more one who formed a class by himself; tall and straight and dark-eyed and clean- shaven,awf,1y tanned and nice, and his face was lined about the eyes and WHITE AND GOLD 9 across the forehead, though any one could see he wasnt old. We all wondered who he was. After the usual exercises, President Flagg got up and began speaka ing. He said that he supposed we,d all heard of the investigations that had been carried on for so many months in regard to what was called the Sleeping Disease of the Philippines and South Africa; of the final dis- covery of the Sleeping Disease microbe by one of our youngest and most noted scientists; that this young scientist had suddenly appeared on our coast for the purpose of pushing his investigations further in regard to the existence of these microbes in certain of the fish of the western seas. We had that well-known young man with us for a short time and he had asked him to say a few words to the students in regard to this great work. And he took great pleasure in introducing Mr. Carden Faraday. Carden Faraday! CARDEN FARADAY! Terry, next to me, gripped my arm and I thought the whole assembly could hear our hearts beating. I havent the faintest idea of what the man said; I vaguely remember hearing a longish speech, with wild hand-clapping at the end. I was watching Miss Cheveley and I never saw a person look so before or since. Oh! she must have cared awfullyeawfully. Her face was perfectly white for the first time and her gray eyes were black; she wasnlt looking at Mr. Faraday or at us 01' at anything of this world. She was looking at Infinite Happiness and that look was enough to make you hide your face, as if youid seen something yould no business to. When assembly was dismissed I felt weak and shaky and made a fool of myself by crying into the face-towel in the dirty little room under the stairs. And the end. At noon that same day Sherlock sent me down to the inner office to get her some malted milke-she boils the water over the Bunsen burners in the lab., and I was poking around on the shelves be- hind the screen, with the door ajar, when some people came into the out- side ofhce and the door banged. I was just about to hurry out with the malted milk when I heard Miss Cheveleyts voice, with a relieved smothered little running sob, like soft showers on a still night-t t Oh, Carden-Carden, dear! I, I put my fingers in my ears and shut my eyes tight and crouched behind the screen quick; I stayed there for I dont know how long, till my feet were both asleep and my ears tight from being stopped so long. By-and-by I took away my fingers very slowly and couldnt hear a thing except the clock ticking loud enough to wake the dead; so I picked up the bottle of malted milk and hurried out to the outside office. It was quite empty. So we didnt have to return the service after all. wIMOGENE PIERCE.

Entered as second class matter Feb. let, 1906, at the Post Of- fice at San Diego, California, under act of Congress of Mch. 3, '79. Vol. III. SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, APRIL, 1907. No. 3- Editorial Institute week, the last of March, was one of trepidation and excite- ment to the training school teachers, of leisure to those fortunate stu- dents who were excused from their classes, and of interest to the school in general. The building was daily besieged with Visiting teachers, many of them our own alumni. The atmosphere of the whole Too Dccp week was one to pull us embryo teachers up and make for Tears us realize more fully what we are coming to; it was sur- charged with a sort of dread understanding mingled with a grim anticipation. In spite of this, however, there was a big sense of life and work in being part of that great army whose march is so diffi- cult and whose goal seems perpetually on the horizon. It was a hne thing to get the point of view of people like Dr. Moore, Mr. Neilson and Miss Carpenterethese most of all, because they belong to this coast. It is people of this sort who, we feel, are destined to make the school sys- tem and management of the West sound and strong. kite i iThe heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. This quotation is revived in our memory by a certain great work that is being carried on very close to us a in our very door-yard, in fact. One may even prove the quotation more fitting in this place, inasmuch as we students, toiling here to learn how to search for Little Grains truth, are unaware of these investigations being carried Of Sand on in the scientists night of doubt. We refer to the breeding of silkworms being conducted over in the 01d laboratory near the tennis court, by Professor R. W. Doane of Stanford University. Professor Doane came to San Diego a few weeks ago for the sake of the warmer climate which he hoped to find. The main object of these investigations is the determination of the laws of heredity, not in the general way of all previous investigations, but definitely. For instance, when a plain and a pied moth are mated, to determine the numerical proportion of the striped to the plain progeny. This same idea is carried out in the study of the cocoons of the different sorts of larvae. Another interesting study being conducted en passant is that of the characteristics of sports when reproduced by further mating. All these different lines of work tend in one direction: that of establishing a definite law of hereditary variations. The magnitude of the work makes the goal perhaps very distant but none the less sure. It is men like 12 WHITE AND GOLD Professor Doane, who give their lives to seemingly fruitless and pointless investigation, that finally establish a chain of facts that leads to future scientific certainty. From a strictly practical viewpoint, there are many valuable discoveries being made continually, mere side issues, accidents, to the biologist, but of real value to silk culture. For example, much is being determined in regard to the strength of colonies, the adaptation of the silkworm to various environments; and, lastly, every once in so often, in the course of the artificial selection process, some exceptionally large varieties are created, one might say, or some that are particularly sturdy or prolific. To those students who have not seen Professor Doanels collection of something over two hundred thousand worms we would say, make the most of your time; from a standpoint not of biology but of mere human nature, they are profoundly interesting. A MOUNTAIN MBLODPAMA Didn't I ever tell you girls how I once played Hleading lady in a most unique way? Why, of course Itll tell you about it. It is one of the cherished experiences of my prosaic existence. Yes, it was when I was teaching in the mountains of Arizona-oh yes, many years ago. It was a cold, dreary and disconsolate morning so the story books would have described it, but I, being a most ordinary, common place mortal, phrased it in the vernacular of the mountains, as an Hornery drizzly, , day. I did not envy myself my ride across the hills to the little adobe school house, where I swayed the rod over fourteen young hopefuls of the mountains. I pulled my water-proof closely around me and set- tling myself comfortably in the saddle, was soon lost in visions of soft cushioned Ichairsf bright open I hres, and all the other latest comforts and conveniences of a modern house, which visions were dispelled only by the sudden appearance of Lawrence. Lawrence was a devoted member of my school, who often rode out to meet me. He related to me as usual, his experiences since the time he left school the day before until the present moment, interspersing these happenings with bits of the gossip of the neighborhood. He had chased a calf for an hour over the hills last evening, before he could get it into the corral for the night, made some marvelous leaps from steep WHITE AND GOLD 13 mountain sides and across chasms; only a miracle could account for his being With me that morning. A ranger had spent the night at their house. That august person was just from Vogales, where he had taken four Mex- ican outlaws who had been captured in the mountains only six miles from us. Bud Simpkins had been arrested for stealing calves, but, according to Lawrence, HBud never put his brand on no calves that wasn't his own, and Bud can show them fellers that hes the squarest man in this part of the country. Then he told me that the Indians got a lot of whis- key Hfrom some place or ruther and last night they howled, sung war songs and danced war dances or some other kind of dances all night. You must know, that on the hills back of Lawrencels fatherls ranch was a small Indian village, made up of about two hundred Apache in- dians, who had strayed from the Reservation. There were old warriors and their squaws, who had been given leave of abence and had wandered back to their old hunting ground; young braves who had escaped the none too vigilant officials; and some strong wild bucks, at whose departure the officials winked, because the Reservation was more peaceful without them. This somewhat heterogeneous skimming of a Reservation gather- ed there in a primitive undisturbed Village and lived as they pleased. They raised some corn and potatoes, stole more from the white man's fields, and traded their baskets and buckskin at the country store for calico, beads or paint. From corn they brewed a kind of intoxicating drink, and occasionally had enough to intoxicate most of the camp. At such times they usually performed some of the original orgies of their race in the most primitive fashion. Such an occasion had evidently been celebrated last night. The Indians, Lawrence told me, acted terrible wild,when tryin. to live like they did when they was the only people in this country;and his father said it was a good thing that they didnlt try to leave their village when they were acting wild like that. If they did, thereld be a few good Indians in these parts for once, for most likely thereld be some dead ones. It was a hard day at school. The floor was soon covered with gravel, carried in by fourteen pairs of hob-nailed or or broad-soled shoes, and the stench from damp clothes, none too clean, did not serve to make the in- cessant crunching 0f restless feet more bearable. But school was over at last, and so was the rain, for the clouds had disappeared, and the sun, though now low in the west, was ardently shed- ding light and warmth over the deluged earth, as if trying to make up for neglecting his duty in the early part of the day. I was tightening my saddle girth, and giving the final twist to the saddle, before starting on my lonesome way, when I heard an approaching gallop. I hid as well as I could my really great delight to see Harwood 14 WHITE AND GOLD riding toward me. Harwood, you know, owned a great, great'izmany cattle and horses, and they ranged over all those hills, so that quite often he needed to ride over that part of the range to find some unbranded calf or colt. Sometimes, when he was over in those hills, he rode by the school house about the time school closed. Of course I liked Harwood immense- ly, but I could not let him kunow it then, so I greeted him mildly and de- clined, with conventional thanks, his offer to assist in saddling my horse. I could not have been very decided, however, for before I realized it, he had adjusted my saddle at just that spot on the horses back Where the experienced horseman knows the animal can carry it and its occupant most easily; had lifted me into the saddle, and was riding along beside me. We were slowly climbing a rather steep trail out of a canyon, deep in some discussion, when we heard a shrill voice from somewhere, calling to us. As we rode out on to the ridge, we saw a figure coming down an op- posite hill. Very soon, for she came so swiftly she almost seemed to skim over the ground, we saw that the figure was an Indian woman. Her long black hair streamed in the wind, her moccasins were hanging to her feet in strings, and her calico dress was torn in rags. A few broken strings of beads still hung around her neck. She fell on the ground before us, screamed and cried and mumbled some unintelligible words. I wondered if she were in pain or had gone mad. She certainly looked wild and fright- ful enough to be as mad as a March hare. Harwood jumped from his horse and went toward her. She leaped to her feet and ran to meet him. My heart stood still for a moment; of course I knew Harwood was a big, strong man, but she looked so wild and terrible, you know. But she only knelt down and held out her hands to him in a begging sort of way, still muttering incoherent phrases. Harwood asked her in Spanish What was the matter. You should have seen how despair fled from her face and relief and hope took its place, when she heard those Spanish words. You see, she, like many of the Indians, talked and understood a sort of Indianized Spanish, but did not comprehend English. She very excitedly told us her trouble: the Indians were drunk, had been drunk many days and nights. They had had many dancesethe fire dance, the sun dance, the war dance, the medicine manls dance-but the dance for the Great White Spirit, the orgy in the worship of the moon, was to be that night. And the medicine man had said that human blood must be offered up as a. sacrifice to gain the good will and gifts of the Great White Spirit. Her baby, the youngest infant in the camp, only a month old that day, had been settled upon for the sacrifice. Would we not go and save her baby? When the moon rose that night, they would kill her child and pour his blood on the the prepared for the worship. She threw herself on the ground and besought our help in pleading, half Spanish, half In- WHITE AND GOLD 15 dian, until Harwood lifted her up, and made her understand that we meant to help her. I wanted to ride to the camp at once, and demand the child; but Harwood said that would be of no use, for we could not argue with a lot of half drunk Indians. We must think of some plan to steal the child or get it by strategy. Then I had the inspiration that saved the child. My plan was to impersonate the Great White Spirit, walk into the midst of their sacrificial rites, and demand the child. Of course they would not refuse the Great White Spirit what he demanded in person. Harwood thought the plan a good one, but suggested that he do the impersonation. I knew he could not do it as well as I, besides, I was not so ready to yield up my chance of playing the heroine. After much arguing I made him see that he would be needed in the background, as property man behind the scenes, or something like that, you know. The Indian girl climbed on behind me, after being assured that we would bring her child to her, safe and secure, and we rode home hurriedly for it was nearly sunset, and the moon would rise very soon after dark. Let us drop the curtain here, and let it go up on the last act. The moon is just climbing over the horizon-a ball of fire-you know how red the moon looks When it first shows itselfe-and I am stealthily climbing the rather steep hill to the Indian camp. I have on a long, dark coat, so that I'm not easily distinguished, and Harwood is right be- hind, leading our horses. About half way up the hill he leaves them, with the bridle reins thrown over their heads. With this warning the faithful animals will stand until the reins are again thrown back in place. We crept on up the hill. We need not have feared meeting an In- dian though, for they were all congregated around the sacrificial fire at the top. Old and young were standing or sitting about, some wailing a kind of dirge, others beating their breasts with their hands. A dozen or fifteen young fellows, splendid in paint and feathers, were reeling around the fire, chanting, moaning or shrieking in turns. While we were watching this performance, the old medicine man came slowly forward, from his seat among the worshipers. I wish you might have seen him. He was the grandest villain that any stage ever produced! His long hair was elaborately decorated with bright feathers and beads. His face was grotesquely masked, with various colors of paint that gave him a most sinister and unnatural expression. He wore a short bright red blanket that reached just below his waist, and highly decorated moccasins that came up above his knees. He came out into the firelight, murmuring some sort of incantation, that sounded very weird in the absolute silence that had reigned since h e LIBRARY STATE NORMAL sown: OF SAN DIEGO. 16 WHITE AND GOLD had made his appearance. As he finished speaking, three or four little naked Indian boys came forward, bearing between them a rough table, Which they placed in front of the 01d priest. Then we saw on it the baby that was to be sacrihced. One of the lads handed the 01d priest a knife. This was my cue, and I threw off my cloak, and stood costumed for my entrance on the stage. I was ghostly in a White shroud and White mask! As the old fellow raised the Hgleaming bladeH high in the air, and began murmuring another incantation, I glided out from behind the tree that had served as the wings. A sharp, unnatural call or shriek from Har- wood, in the Wings, directed their surprised attention in my direction, so I made my way sinuously into their midst, with all eyes upon me. Bern- hardt, herself, could not have done it better, I'm sure. When I was directly in front of the altar, I stretched one armwne white draped arm, out toward the child lying in front of me, and said in as ghostly tones as I could command, the Indian words I had been prac- ticing on all the evening, HMANGI UH WAH!H which interpreted means, llGive me the child! There was one moment of fearful, awful terror, then a wild shrieking, and one and all-Jtheap big chief, brave warrior and interested au- dience fled in confusion. I seized the baby, folded my white robes about it, and glided back to the tree. It was then I discovered I had stage fright, my knees shook under me, and as Harwood put my cloak around me and hurried me down to the horses, I found myself crying softly and hugging the little Indian babe with considerable vigor. We rode home as fast as the horses could take us and then came the best part of all. If you could have seen that Indian girl as she snatched her baby from me! I always thought the Indian language alot of harsh grunts, but the grunts she murmured over that child were as musical as anything I ever heard. Amerika never went back to the Indians. She is our faithful ser- vant today. The baby? Oh! he is only a common little black Indian boy; not at all the extraordinary bit of humanity that a protege of the Great White Spirit should be. G. A. RIEKE, ,07. FURTHER CONFESSIONS The day was nearly over, and it had been a hard one, the fifth that I had survived since I had been that thrilling phenomenon, the new teacher. I was tired. I was still in the agony of evolving a daily program; this, together with the strain of keeping the six classes occupied ALL the time, was more than wearing. I had forgotten my pitch pipe, and had not dared to attempt a new song without it, so had mis- takenly allowed the children to sing whatever the spirit moved them to. That particular spirit was an extremely evil one. ttAmericaI I was ttdirg- ed,H positively HdirgedH out. This formed an inauspicious beginning for a most painful day. My ninth grade scholar entangled me with a Spanish verb far beyond the possibility of a graceful Itbackdownf, and I utterly failed to obtain the solution of a vicious arithmetic example involving the subjection of both decimals and common fractions. I can cope With either pest when I meet it singly, but, reinforced by each other, they were too much for me. And I had suspected that the placid, impressive countenance 0f the seventh grade girl concealed a great and unholy joy in my discomflture. Yes, verily, and with truth, I WAS a ttgreen teacher! And, to conclude the list of the days misfortunes, I had my first serious difficulty With my heretofore faithful ally, the thirteen-year-old sixth grader. The aforesaid estrangement occurred during the last ten minutes of school. Five minutes after I had dismissed the children and listened to their noisy departure, I sat, resting my head wearily upon my hand, when I was aroused by the soft, musical voice of the one Spanish scholar: I tTeacher, oh! teacher, StephenIs out back of the school house swearin' awful! Listen! Instinctively I did so. Softened by distance, language distinctly for- bidden by school law, was wafted through an open window to me. Here was a chance to retrieve my lost prestige, proclaim my dignity, and estab- lish my authority irrevocably! I arose, flrmly, followed by the delighted eyes of infant Spain. I strove to call sternly,then,weakly, I sat down again. I tMatesC , I murmured, HSh shut the window! EMMA GEORGE THE LUNAR EXCURSION OF THE GEOGRAPHY GLASS ltIs there anything new to come before the class this afternoon? asked Prof. Skilling as he faced a rather restless geography class on one of those fine San Diego days when it is much more agreeable in the open air than in the school room. ttYes, H broke in Miss Dahringer, Hwhen are we going on another exe cursion? HI dont know of any place that we can go just now, said the Pro- fessor. i But at this point T arwater woke up and told of a German astronomer who had just discovered a new star, and who had also invented a wonderful air-ship. This astronomer, Reinig, he said, was coming to San Diego the next week for the purpose of testing his air-ship, and then was going up to explore the moon. Tarwater thought that part of the class might make the trip to the moon as the air-ship, the tlLark, easily carried hfteen. Downs had also read of this Reinig and his wonderful new invention. A number of the class were ready to go at once and Prof. Skilling readily promised to see Mr. Reinig immediately on his arrival and make arrange- ments if possible. For the next week the newspapers had a good deal to say about Rei- nig and his air-ship, and all but the timid members of the class eagerly read every word. Reinig reported by wireless that he would arrive in San Diego on Fri- day, Dec. 7, and sure enough on the afternoon of that day we saw a speck appear on the horizon, which soon grew large enough to be recognized as the air-ship. A little later it landed in San Diego in fine condition, and with Mr. Reinig in excellent spirits. A crowd soon gathered and in the midst of it I saw Prof. Skilling push- ing his way toward Mr. Reinig. We hardly hoped that Mr.Skilling would be successful in getting the astronomerls consent to our scheme, but to our surprise Reinig seemed more than glad to have a few of us go along. Arrangements were made to start early on the 26th, the day after Christmas. Several committees were appointed to look after various details, and as the food question was rather important on so long a trip, Miss Morrison, Miss NeE and Miss Rhoades were given charge and cautio'n- ed to see that those three sleepy boys did their part in contributing to the larder's supply. . There was considerable excitement for us during the next two weeks, and some said they were going to back out, but at the appointed hour 14 of the class besides Prof. Skilling were .011, hand. for the journey in the WHITE AND GOLD 19 ltLark. She was a queer looking boat, shaped like a huge projectile with her powerful engines and supply room at the base, and the observation room above; the whole airtight and tanks of oxygen were to supply us with breathing material while outside the earth's atmosphere. At last we were all tucked into the observation room and with an awful whirr of machinery and an enormous coyote-like yell from each of the eleven girls, myself included, we shot away from mother earth, and soon lost sight of San Diego; in a few minutes the whole earth looked like a huge ball. For a long time all were silent as if they were just a little bit home- sick, but when Mr. Reinig began talking about the working of the t l Lark, we soon forgot our novel situation in our interest in the wonderful ship. We were making good time now, according to the log. I could feel a kind of an elevator sensation as we shot upwards, and I noticed Mr. Duffy looking for some secluded spot for fear that he might become air sick. Downs and Tarwater began to wonder if they would be allowed to roll rocks down the hill on the moon as they had done at the Coronado Islands. Professor Skilling and Mr. Reinig plunged into an interesting discussion on astronomy. Suddenly Miss Williams and a few other girls who had been making observations made the startling announcement that we were not headed for the moon at all; Mr. Reinig only laughed and said that he was headed for the place where the moon would be at the time we ought to reach it. This excitement had hardly passed when Miss Rhoades discovered that the ltLarkis log was just barely turning. Even Mr. Reinig was puzzled at this, and several ventured to say that they wished they were safely home again, but the astronomerls face soon lit up and he explained that we were getting away from the earthls atmosphere and there was not enough fric- tion with the air to cause the log to turn very fast, and that it would soon stop entirely. The rest of the day passed without much excitement, but with plenty of merriment. When we thought it ought to be getting dark it was as light as ever and we soon learned that there would be no night, as there was no earth or anything else to hide the sun from us. At last the merriest of us tired of stories, excitement and astronomy and after a hearty meal we all dozed off to sleep for a little rest, except Miss Rhoades, who was determined to see all there was to see, but it wasnt long before she was in dreamland in spite of herself. Professor Skilling and Mr. Reinig took turns in steering the ttLark. l' I slept a little longer than the rest, but was suddenly awakened about 1 olclock by a shrill scream from Miss Morrison, and on looking up I saw Mr. Tarwater in midair, making frantic efforts to catch hold of something. 20 WHITE AND GOLD ttOh! hels turned to a gas, yelled the frightened Miss Dahringer. Just 'at this moment Downs made a leap to grab him, but much to his sur- prise he left the floor like a shot and struck Tarwater, sending him to the t0p of the ttLark, while Downs himself was left suspended in the air just where Tarwater had been. At this point the engine stopped and Prof. Skilling and Mr. Reinig came from the engine room. Prof. Skilling seeing our ghostlike faces, took in the situation at a glance and with his astronomical mind explained to us that we were just where the forces of attraction of the earth and moon were the same, and therefore gravity was was zero and we did not weigh anything. A storm of laughter greeted his words, and we all began to jump around in the air like a lot of crazy clowns in a circus, then when we got tired we squirmed to the side of the ship and pulled ourselves to the hoor again. During this interesting mixup Miss Borden took a number of snapshots with her camera. Even Mr. Skilling let his spirit of curiosity run away with him and sent his generous limbs flying in all directions by turning numerous somersaults of all kinds in mid air. This condition of affairs soon ceased, however, and the bottom of the t l Larkl l slowly turned toward the moon instead of the earth. The earth appeared to be above us instead of below us, and on jumping to the top of the room we would slowly settle to the bottom again. We were falling by gravity to the moon, upon which everyonels interest was now centered. Our speed was increasing rapidly and the moon was appearing larger every moment. We could see the hills and valleys and craters of the moon much more plainly than with the large telescope at school. A meteor swept past us on its way towards the sun, making a kind of roaring noise, but it went so fast that we could not examine it as closely as we would have liked to. At about 5 olclock the engines were again started so that we would not fall too fast and hit the poor orb of night too hard, and at just 6 olclock we landed safely on the edge of a deep crater. Prof. Skilling was the iirst to remove the lid from the man-hole and jump out on the surface. Each one was provided with a bottle of oxygen, for there was not enough in the moonls scant atmosphere to keep us alive. It was a queer sight to see everyone with a bottle at his face. We found no inhabitants of any kind, no vegetation, nor water, just an immense pile of sharp jagged rocks. Tarwater and Downs rolled a few rocks down the steep sides of the crater, but there was not enough gravity to make them go very fast, so they soon gave it up. We could see across the crater where we landed; it seemed to be about a mile across and just about as deep. Mr. Skilling said that he thought it was one of the smaller ones. After we had gone a short distance we came to a deep WHITE AND GOLD :Vr 21 chasm Which was about fifteen feet wide. We were all frightened when Mr. Reinig said that he was going to jump across. He tried it and landed about ten feet on the other side, much to our astonishment. Then with a twinkle in his eye he reminded us that we weighed only a sixth as much here as on the earth, and so could jump about six times as far. Mr. Skilling and the three boys followed, but we girls decided to stay where we were texcept Miss Rhoades who jumped across just to see if she couldJ We heard a loud series of reports up the chasm, so we followed it up and after a short distance saw two rocks, one on each side of the chasm, shaped something like human beings. A steady stream of electric sparks was passing between them, showing that electricity is present on the moon as well as on the earth. Miss Neff advanced the theory that the two rocks were the Adam and Eve of the moon, but that in the be- ginning they had quarreled so that they were turned to stone and forced to spit fire till this day, leaving the moon uninhabited. , We were now getting cold and our oxygen was about gone so we picked up our numerous specimens and bundled ourselves into the warm room of the l tLark. l l We were all glad to start back to old mother earth, for which we all seemed to have more affection than ever before. The return trip was full of interesting incidents, but we were more tired and not as easily frightened by unexpected occurrences. When we approached the earth all tried to make out some familiar spot, but we soon discovered that we were directly over the southern end of South ' America. We skirted over the country with the speed of an eagle, but managed to get the geography of the western coast of South America fixed in our minds better than would be possible with any map. Mr. Reinig got into wireless communication with San Diego and told them When we would arrive. It was not until about dark of the next day, however, that we came over to San Diego, and landed safely on the Normal Campus, where a cheering crowd greeted ou: return. The crowd were anxious to hear of our experiences, but home seemed to have too great an attraction for us and the Campus was soon dseerted. We had all enjoyed ourselves and, what is more, had learned a good deal. l GEORGE DOWNS A NEST BY THE SEA Fourteen miles north of San Diego is a little village which always re- minds me of a nest by the sea. It is just like the nest of the sea gull, perched high on the edge of the cliffs, and the waves roll and crash against the rocks beneath all day and all night. It is never quiet there, for on the calmest days the surf still comes pounding over the crags to break against the solid rock, a hundred feet below the village. At one place Where the cliffs are not so sheer, the houses have crept timidly down almost to the waters edge. Often you see a person sitting on a grey stone shelf that barely escapes the waters of the high tide. There is a strange fas- cination for him in the swirling, seething, boiling waters that follow the retreating breakers. Sometimes a band of porpoises call to him as they dip past with such evident joy in their movement, such easy control, such pure delight in life. , Yet no one can tell why one sits there for hours watching the waves; may be the sea could, but the sea keeps its secret well. Sometimes the fog comes in, cold and damp, like a great ghost arisen from the sea. It rolls in towards the shore like a live thing, reaching out with great tremb- ling arms until you feel it touch your face. The cliffs across from the cove With the white surf breaking at the waters edge, are as delicately tinted as a pastel. The blue-grey ocean, the reddish brown kelp, the fishing boats and the white-winged gulls make a picture that you can never forget. In a certain pool where the waves do not come large gold fish circle and dart. On the rocks you see strange shell-covered creatures; a crab creeping sideways toward the water looks at you out of great beady eyes. At low tide the sea shrinks away and leaves a new world clinging to the ooze-covered rocks-a world of soft tumbling creatures, strange to the eye and stranger to the touch. Then there are lovely little pools left by the receding tide, natural little aquariums, fitted With beautiful tinted mosses gently moving in the clear green water. To this nook comes many a weary one, to listen to the sea, to wonder at the strange beings it harbors, and to find rest in this sun-lit spot Which lies like the sea-gull's nest between the sky and the sea. ' ALICE WALKER IN MBMORIAM. . On the afternoon of Wednesday, April the 10th, the students and faculty were called into the assembly room by President Black. The President spoke to the following effect: It becomes my sad duty to announce to you the death of Mr. Robert Tyson, shortly after 11 dclock this morning, after a painful illness covering several weeks. ttRobert Tyson came to us from Oceanside last September, and brought with him the strongest possible endorsements from his former teachers. His brief record here testifies to his worth as a. student, as a friend, as a companion. Cheerfulness, courtesy and industry were his chief characteristics. In losing him, I feel that each of us has lost a friend. ttIt becomes us, in some formal and official manner to recognize this be- reavement. I have therefore taken the liberty of appointing a committee on resolutions, consisting of Mr. Bliss of the faculty, Miss Morrison, president of the Associated Student Body, and Miss Byron, Secretary of the Associated Student Body. At the close of his speech, the President asked for the report of the com- mittee on resolutions, and Mr. Bliss, the faculty representative, read the following: We, the assembled faculty and students of the State Normal School of San Diego, hereby express our profound sorrow at the loss we have today sustained through the passing away of our student, comrade and friend, Robert Tyson. His aptitude and faithfulness as a student, his cheerful adaptability and strong, generous, manly qualities as a friend and companion Will ever remain in our memories as an inspiration and a benediction. We extend to the bereaved family and friends our heartfelt sympathy, assuring them that we share their grief, and entertain With them the hope and belief that Robert has only entered into a more glorious life from which sor- row and death are forever banished.

ADELLE BYRON SCHOOL ACTIVITIES SCHOOL NOTES The ttWhite Duck crew gave a theatre party Feb. 4th, in honor of the Misses Marie Austin and Florence Greer, graduates of the spring term. Mrs. Margaret M. Kilty and Mrs. Chubb acted as chaperons. After the play the party repaired to the Elite, where a large table had been daintily prepared for seventeen. On Friday evening, March the 1, the faculty were entertained at a large party given by the HPristis Girls. The row to North island and back and a spread on the beach were the features of the evening. Washingtonts birthday was celebrated by the Dog Watch crew with a moonlight row to North island. Monday and Tuesday, March 25th and 26th, saw the return of many old students to their old hunting-ground, and with them a goodly number of other ttpedagogues, ,' who spent the time inspecting the building, visit- ing the training-school classes and attending Mr. Blacks lectures. On March 2nd, Miss Ula Chalmers entertained the t t Rhine Gold ,, girls at her home on Golden Hill. Miss Chalmers was dressed as a spinster of 1830. Various ttold-maid games were indulged in, Miss Mack and Miss Noonan being the fortunate prize winners. The rooms were artis- tically decorated in the Association colors. The members of the Glaucus crew were very pleasantly entertained by the Misses Zora Cummins and Judith Curtis at the home of Miss WHITE AND GOLD 25 Cummins' sister, Mrs. Hodge, on Robinson avenue, on the evening of February 8th. ' The ttPristis GirlsH have taken a cottage at La Jolla for the weeks vacation. Mrs. Hutchinson will be the chaperon. Many gay things are planned for the week and it is expected the success of last yeafs house party Will be repeated. Not long ago, the HWhite Duckstigave a progressive luncheon, con- cluded by a party in the evening at the home of the Misses Kilty. The first course of the luncheon was served at the rooms of Miss Sibyl Morrison, each successive course at a different girYs house. The guests of the evening were the Misses Kilty, Drury, Stephens, Alma Stephens, Neff, Wallace, Morrison, Cross, Spears, Austin, Greer, Phillips and Mrs. Chubb; the Messers. Kilty, Barnum, Smith, Duffy, Tarwater, Wight, Warriner, Lusk, Nelson, Chubb, Klensmith, Tichenor, Miller, Butler and Watkins. The Glaucus crew, chaperoned by Miss Billings and Mr. Bliss, visited the Charleston, and enjoyed thoroughly their few minutes of sight-seeing on that splendid ship. A jolly picnic lunch was enjoyed by the members of the Glaucus crew on Monday, Feb. 4th. We thank Miss Billings for the treat. At a meeting of the Rowing Association a delegation composed of one member from each crew was appointed to clean the barge. In con- sideration of the arduous tasks performed, Mr. and Mrs. Kemp entertained at a. candy-pull, Friday evening, March 29th. Those who enjoyed their hospitality were, besides the captains of the crews, the Misses Nan Drury, Lutie Mimms, Josephine Clark, Pauline Black and Mr. Crandall. The Misses Fox entertained the Glaucus crew at the Loomis on a rainy Tuesday in February. 26 WHITE AND GOLD ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY REPORT.

THE MAY DAY OF LIFE tEditoris Note. An address delivered on Dedication Day, May 1, by Miss Imogene Stone, the senior class representativeJ Did you ever think how closely the life of a plant resembles that of a human being? Doubtless within the walls of the Normal School some of you have at least heard, if not learned, that plants like humans have circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems; yes, and even special senses. But in a much broader way is this resemblance true. For every plant there is first the period of growth. The plant shoots up, sends forth a new brapch, and here and there a tender leaf, and, reaching upward and out- ward, grows in all ways. Then growth as a primary factor ceases. The buds first appear and then unfold, and the beautiful blossoming time has come. So in the life of each individual. One must pass through the period of development before he can reach the period of demonstration. ttBut what has May Day to do with all this? you ask. May Day! The very words suggest the most beautiful month of Spring, the blossom- ing time of the flowers. Look about you. Are not the flowers blooming everywhere? The tiniest plant seems to vie with the greater ones about; it in producing the most abundant and perfect flowers, and the little fringed Gilia returns a smile of contentment to the satisfactory nod of the Mariposa far above it. It is May Day, the blossoming time of the flowers; and succeeding the period of growth, and preceding the period of seeding, it represents the most beautiful season in plant life. So the May Day of human life represents the period of blossoming, the time of action. J ames Allen has said, uAct is the blossom of thoughtf i and so when we are ready to act, to go forth and do, we are entering into our blossoming period, Which May Day represents. . Like the plant we first pass through the period of growth before we reach the period of production. For as one plant is long dependent on the seed of another, we too must long rely on the work of others. And only as gradually as the plant forms roots of its own, we through the books and instruction of others make a part of their knowledge ours, form theories and shape ideals of our own and so enter upon the productive period, when we are ready at last to go forth and impart our knowledge, practice our theories and obtain, or rather ttchase, our ideals. In short we are ready to do, to act. So in all life May Day represents the blossoming period, whether that blossom be a iiower or an act. Not only does the blossom predict the future fruitage, but how plainly 8 WHITE AND GOLD does it tell the story of the plant! Look at the rose and you know whether the bush has been stunted by dry and unproductive soil, scorched by the beating sun, or hindered in growth by other means; whether too care-1 fully sheltered by a cool shade, in moist and fertile soil it has obtained too luxuriant a growth; or whether, more kindly treated by nature, it has been strengthened by the warm rays of sunshine, freshened by the gentle shower, and nourished by the work of the gardener. J ust so plainly do our actions speak. Then to make our May Day the most beautiful season of our lives as it is with the plant, how essential is it to begin with the period preceding it, the period of preparation: and in our own schools what excellent opportunities do we hnd for this pre- paration! Here with great aptness the too luxuriant growth'may be pruned away, or the needed nourishment supplied. Here we are given the best of instruction, from which we should gain mental, physical, and spiritual development; and here we are also allowed by practical experience to apply our theories, impart our knowledge, and best of all learn the lessons of selfeeontrol, self forgetfulness, and self responsibility which will adorn all acts of later life. But I pass over these to something to me far more important, which faculty. students, building, and, yes, work itself, all combine to produce. It is the Normal School spirit. Did you ever, in hot haste to out run a bell, suddenly bump into a member of faculty and in fear and consternation look up and find a smile of recognition and assurance? ' Did you ever go into one of those awful private conferences, feeling ?that work was too hard, ability too limited, and success too near infinity for you ever to obtain; and then, come out of that same conference feel- ing-that though the work was hard, and abilities were few, there was someone who understood, someone who sympathized with the sympathy which gives strength and endurance for hardships and determination for success over all difficulties? Did you ever, with a frown on your face and a load on your heart, pass through the corridor and meet someone who laughed at the frown, who just somehow got hold of you, and led you down the steps. around the campus in the sunshine and back again. frown gone, load gone, and ready for the rest of your work? This is the Normal spirit. And so the personal interest of the faculty, the helpful fellowship of the students and the cheerful atmosphere of the building all contribute to this spirit of sincerity. earnestness of purpose, eheerfulness and stability of work, strength and congeniality of friend- ship, which pervades our Normal School. Do you doubt its existence? It is here, find it. It is here, strengthen it. And you can do this by carefully following the advice our ever res Stexvhexw, Photo P3X 1.'11 X' Miss WAY S. T. BLACK W. F.

THE TIME SERVER uI have no use for the girl? vociferated the supervisor, ttwho takes her work here in any half-hearted way. Unless you have a great love of teaching, an honest enthusiasm in your work, youtve no business to be here. We have no use for those people who come here in a spirit of time- serving, the main object of whose narrow world is the getting of a good position for the sake of the salary.,, The crowd of student-teachers, un- der the questioning eye of the supervisor, assumed unconsciously a brow- beaten, guilty expression, each wondering vaguely, now it was thus elo- quently laid before her, if she were not the one at whom the fusillade was directed. And, as if in answer to this mute, half-confessed wonderment, Miss Harbison continued: HThis is not, of course, meant for any one of you in particular. So far, you are all simply so many names to me, mere unknown quantities, but I leave it to the spirit of your work to tell me what you are made of? These words were eagerly threshed out among some of the young girls; it was a phase of the training-sohool that had never been brought before them. Of course, the teaching was interestingethe application of theories to practise always isebut this awful necessity for earnestness, for sincerity, for pedagogical enthusiasm-l As for Miss Harbison, the awful weight of her remarks, repeated in the same way to every new squad of students coming under her jurisdiction, did not impress her; she knew the too-frequent quality of the spirit of training-schools, and it was one of her many self-imposed missions to counteract the ill-eifects of that spirit. Her words, though seemingly spoken with snap and spontaneity of a new thought, were the habitual send-OE, delivered in the habitually stren- uous way. Yet for all the machinery of it, the spirit running the machine was sane and sweet. Mary Brownlee had come south from the town of Grahamito take a years training in the Normal School. She was one of those many teach- ers, who, before the days of Normal Schools, had gone straight from the High School to the country to teach. Miss Brownlee had taught twelve years in the little settlement of Graham, and had suddenly been forced out by the installation in her place of a Normal School graduate, one of those travelers along the enlightened path of the ttnew educationtt, who had ar- rived to receive instructions regarding the system of the school, a few days before her predecessor had left town. It was very unexpected. Mary had been at Graham so long, she was fairly rooted to the spot, and the old trustees had known and trusted her so long. The work she had done and the trials she had suifered to get that high-school training-four years of grinding poverty and frugality so pinched as not to deserve the name of economy, with a frail mother and a small brother-had always seemed amply vindicated in the luxury of a seventy-dollar monthly income. And WHITE AND GOLD 11 thenea bolt from a clear skyecame this brisk, cheerful little person to succeed her! The meeting of the two teachers was like the meeting of the proverbial extremes. the one neat, trim. fresh-colored and enthusiastic. the other somewhat tired, somewhat lined and decidedly unlovely. Ah, this New Education! So Mary Brownlee promptly left home and came south to obtain the diploma which would put her in a position to reclaim her 10st chance. She had saved enough, during her twelve years of toil-it was no betterm- to pay her expenses, and, with a small legacy left her by a deceased uncle. she calculated that for the ensuing year, with care and strict economy on her part, her brother Thaddeus could be left in school and her invalid mother need not be entirely comfortless. There was no high hope to urge her on, merely the regaining of her 10st position, which would place her where she had always been; all the young enthusiasm which she had once possessed had ebbed away with the routine of the years, and this, with her lost chances, had served to tire her. Mary Brownlee was young neither in spirit nor in years. Placed in an institution whose very atmosphere was youth incarnate, attending classes with jovial, thoughtless girls, alive with expectations and enthusiasms, she felt herself a derelict towed into some pleasant harbor for repairs, where stronger, untried crafts yet: waited for their launching. Maryis work in the training-school was not anything remarkable; she was outstripped by many of these girls who had not her years, of ex- perience. She often heard them praised for things which she was incap- able of acquiring, and which in them were spontaneous and unstudied. She seemed to be forever doing the wrong thing, or not doing the right; there were constant and never-eeasing sins of omission and commission laid up against her. And so it went. Yet she kept on, unsmilingly and mirthlessly, straining her eyes into the future when she should once again be with her family and working for them. The winter of that year was a hard one in many ways. The room she rentedein the back of a big, old house near the schoole-leaked. Her new umbrella and overshoes were stolen from their particular place be- hind the door. and she could not, in conscience, buy more; mother and Tad had to be thought of. She had made no friends among the blind, scatter- brained girls around her, nor any friends in the town; many times, as she lingered in the corridor, leaning her elbows on the sill, and watched the little boys pitching baseball outside, in absurd though perfect imitation of their eldersi sophisticated poses, Miss Harbison would pass, laughing and talking with some girl, and Mary would follow them with admiring, hopeless eyes; often she longed acutely to be on that footing of easy familiarity with the teachers that seemed to be the unsought heritage of the younger girls; or, still more, to be able,to joke and talk nonsense With the girls themselves.

She doggedly forgot it and stuck to the prescribed I'LilltiYJ-u It happened, late one afternoon, that she was coughing rather hard while putting- the work for the next day on the board in her class-room, and a scarlet-nosed, thick-voiced fellow-student stopped an instant to sympathise With the older girl. This sympathy, the first. she had ever had, was all but too much for Mary, and beneath its warmth her reserve thawed unwillingly. Without knowing Why, she told this wide-eyed, well- dressed school girl about her home, her mother, the loss of her position, and her longing to finish school. Behind the bare, scrappy sentences, al- most inarticulate, lay the full sanetifieation of her life-hope. She ended, dry-eyed and hoarse-voiced, HItts the one thing I think of by day and dream of by night, that seventy-dollars waiting for me at Graham, with mother comfortable at home, and Tad having a start toward college. It ,s all I care about in this world or the next, just the surety of that seventy dollars a month. whentleThis speech. the longest she had made since she had left home, ended With a succession of tearing coughs. Then both girls, the younger her eyes soft with pity. felt the nearness of a third per- son, and turned to see Miss Harbison, tired-eyed but cold, standing in the doorway staring at them. It was quiet for a full minute, and for the first time since the girl had come to her, Mary wondered at her own garrulity. tthe wondered what it was that your work lacked, Miss Brownleef said the supervisor, shivering the tense silence, ttItm sorry that any of our girls should take that View of it; Pve tried to make you teachers sub- due that mercenary aim to the other, higher one. But itls evident that some meagre souls are incapable of it. Youtll remember I said that the spirit of her work told on the time server. She quietly left the room. That from Miss Harbison meant a great, great deal, and both girls knew it. After a. moment of wonderment and a swift glance of gratitude to- ward the younger girl. Mary Brownlee left the room with hurt, staring eyes and immobile face. and, still coughing heavily, went down the hall to her locker.

It was 011 Tuesday after school, when Miss Harbison was sitting at her desk, going rapidly through the daily routine of inspection of lesson- plans and papers, that the secretary came in, and whispered a few words. The supervisor nodded, and in a moment, found herself shaking hands with a fresh-faced, raw-boned boy, with the dogged chinebecoming in a man-and asking eyes of Mary Brownlee. He began without introduction and without self-consciousness, standing straight and ungainly, with his hands, holding his hat, clasped behind him. HYouire Miss Harbison, aren,t you?

The supervisor dropped into her chair and leaning her head on her arms, gave way to a flood of tardy tears. WASHINGTON AND FRANKLIN It was a very warm day. Scarcely a breath of air stirred the green boughs 0f the pepper trees bordering the white dusty road. Far away between the row of trees a lonely hill stood martyr-Iike, under the pale unruiiied blue of the sky, and the meadows everywhere were brown and scorched. The road upon which I was walking, and had been walking for a long time, ended I knew not where, nor did I care. I was a gentle- man of leisure and although as yet this particular road had not proved especially exciting, I had hopes that before long it might do so. As I have said. I had been walking a long time and being tired I chose a splendid tent-like tree under which to rest. The branches of the tree were so long that they touched the ground, making a fairy-like house. I am by no means a fairy but I entered. Suddenly I heard voices, not human voices, but animal voices. and I knew instantly that mules were approaching. Bray is an inelegant term sometimes applied to donkeysi language, but to a trained ear, a mule's conversation is very intelligent. The first words that I could be sure of were, NWashington, letis do something exeitingf7 Now when mules undertake iisomething exciting they generally do it, and so, as I was out for this sort of thing, I listened anxiously for tWVashingtonk reply. Soon it came, and as it was louder, I knew the pair were nearer. ttA capital idea Franklin, old man. I was greatly relieved to Iind Washington so eager and I peered from a fairy window to see if they were in sight. They were. and they were moving very slowly, conversing in whispers and winking violently at each other. They were drawing an old wagon in which sat a man. The man had evidently been to the postoffice, for he was blissfully poring over a newspaper, holding a pair of lines in the limpest sort of manner. I strained my ears to the utmost to hear the mulest plans, but only an indistinct murmur followed by a series of suppressed giggles reached me, and so I decided to follow and await results. They were a funny pair. I was able, from their whispering, to fit them to their names. Washington was tall and sedate while Franklin was inclined to be short and fat with a round good-natured face, an exceeding- ly broad mouth, and eyes that twinkled roguishly. They were both rather advanced in years, and I judged, from the lax manner in which the man held their reins, they were generally very staid. A11 excitement, I followed. walking far enough away so that I would not be noticed. The manrcnntinued to read, the donkeys to laugh in- WHITE AND GOLD 15 cessantly and, as I could see when they turned their heads, to wink knowingly. The first mile I traveled With unfaltering faith. By the end of the second I began to be impatient. Toward the end of the third my wilting spirits were somewhat revived by Franklin,s tittering, uLetts start now. We were at the top of a little hill. It was very late, the sun was almost at the horizon and I was many miles from home. But I did not care if I could watch these intelligent mules perform. They began to trot, and trotted until they reached the level plain again, in the silliest, most conceited manner. Such a wonderful thing to do! Just as I turned away in disgust, I heard Washington say,- HThat was a perfect picnic, and as soon as Franklin could control his laughter, he answered, ttYes, it was immense, letts do that often.

PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES tEditorial Note: The following is a report of a speech delivered in the assembly by Doctor Beaton on the morning of Wednesday, June SJ I do not want to be too serious or too didactic, but I want to talk with a personal familiarity here, about the opportunities in the chosen pro- fession that you have come here to fit yourselves for. Of course you are all aware that until very recently the profession of a teacher was re- garded as a kind of stepping-stone to some larger profession, or some work of: greater opportunities. Well, we do not deny that all of us are at liberty to make as much as possible of such opportunities as occur to us afterward in life; to do what is agreeable to our hearts and our limita- tions. But yve must draw a distinct line of demarcation between that which is perfectly natural to us as individuals, as free citizens possessing our own souls, and the great fact that if we are to do any good work in life we must be consecrated to it; there is a certain consecration in work. The old knights after they served as squires, the apprenticeship that pre- pared them for knighthood, spent the evening before the day on which they were knighted in a vigil. Shall we regard our professional life as of less importance than mil- itary service? As you know, the old Roman soldiers took the sacra- mentum before they entered a battle. It was an oath of consecration. There is no person who is worthy of the profession your are looking forward to, but must enter life under that kind of consecration. The difference between the oath of the mercenary and the oath of the patriot is that the mercenary is ready to fight for the one who will give him the highest pay, and the patriots oath is ready only for the country that he loves and is ready to die for. The soldierls oath is a sacrament of death. You' know the J apanese have taught us Europeans some tremendous things in the way of war. The J apanese soldier does not expect to live when he goes into war, he expects to die. We Europeans do not understand that spirit. In spite of our art and our literature and all the rest of it, we can still learn lessons from the J apanese. They have proven to us that they have absolutely no sense of personal aims in serving their country. They simply go into the battle to die. One of our great soldiers had this per- sonal sense. You remember the story of Sheridan when his troops were somewhat shaken and seemed without courage to go on. When he saw them turn, he said, HMy God, men, do you want to live forever? There is no question about this sort of devotion. Those who take up any ser- vice in the community, any public service that is especially set apart. are consecrated. The education which you are receiving here and which is supplied by the State is a great trustethe greatest that can be given, and no proficiency can be attained without this sense of consecration. This, then, is the great truth that underlies our being set apart for this work. Now comes the question, Hls yours the profession that offers a special ' 1' V t. .a 03V v u o; 6 Stephens.

MISS MIMMS WH ITE AND GOLD 17 opportunityWi There are some professions that are, in the nature of the case, more agreeable than others. Let me take an illustration. I was much pleased to hear Professor Stephens speak from Matthew Arnoldis HEssays and Reviewsii-that magnificent description of Oxford that Arnold gives. I was particularly pleased because it is one of my favorite passages. I remember sitting in the quadrangle of Magdalen College trying to get that spirit that Professor Stephens spoke of, and looking around at the magnificent scene, and thinking about Matthew Arnold- and thinking- about the men that made Oxford. Now, it came to me that there was one feature in English life that we in this American life might well copy, and that is that a certain importance, honor and all that, is put upon the school master. The great men of England are the expression of the public schools of England, the results of Eton, Harrow, Westmins- ter and Christchurch, the great public schools of England where only the wealthy are educated. Now, if you go to England, you will be very much struck with the fact that the greatest men in the Church of England, and the greatest men in English statesmanship have been either pupils or masters in the public schools; and almost all the great statesmen will acknowledge, if you get near enough to them, that the most influential factor in their life was this experience in the public schools. Almost every rector 0r curate in a little community to-day will get two or three of the boys and have them in their own private class at home and they mould them at the susceptible- age of life and practically create their character and determine their destiny. And when you read the story of the public schools of England, you will find that the great Arnold, of Rugby, the father of Matthew Ar- nold, was a schoolmaster; that is all he was. He was not a prime minister nor a lord, nor a noble, he was just a schoolmaster. There is in England no single iniiuenoe that has done more to make the character of these English people. Now. if you go into the real life of the English people, you will be struck with that great truth. George MacDonald, one of the foremost of our Scotch writers, in his early days was trained for the ministry but later he gave up the ministry to be a teacher and writer. He claimed that there was no force in the world equal to the power that a teacher has over the lives of the children. I believe that, and I believe that you have the destiny of this nation in your hands. You have charge of the babies at their susceptible ago. Now, this is the serious phase of the case. How would you compare the painting of a picture. even by one of the most gifted of artists, to the moulding of the soul of a child? This is a living thing, this is the most consummate art. That is the thought that I would like to leave most deeply in your hearts in connection with this talk. Teaching is not mechanical; teaching is not merely giving so much in- formation: teaching is an art in the highest sense of the word; teaching 18 WHITE AND GOLD almost touches the creative faculties. We distinguish lwtwwu the creative faculties and the mere giving: of knowledge; there are a great many teach- ers who have knowledge. but have not this genius that I have described in Arnold of Rugby. Who was an artist in his profession. It is the business of the teacher to make his business fascinating. I may use an illustration from music. If a person is to learn music, he must learn the drudgery of the scales, he must learn all the mechanical details that are called technique. If you go to hear a great man play, you can recognize immediately that he has technique but something is wanting- he wants snap. What is that? That is where the soul comes in. That is the incommunicable and unborn fact in all work. It doesntt matter whether it is teaching or playing, or any kind of service. It is the thing that belongs to youepersonalityethe thing that belongs to you, that you must give. If you do not give that you do not giVe your heart and soul. Of all people in the world you ought to be happy in your work. Now, may I venture to give a couple of illustrations along the lines of our modern studies. and that is what will be helpful to your own personal character. Character gives you what I have laid emphasis par- ticularly upone-personality. You may know a great deal, but if you can- not impart it. you have not the technique of your profession. Then comes the larger question of your personality. as we sometimes use the word, your character. Can I give you anything in a practical way that will help you along the line of your personal studies? Let me give it in this way. You know that you come here to learn certain things; there are- certain things along the lines of literature, history: lilathematics, that you must learn; but having- learned these things, the great crisis comes when you have to bring your personality to bear upon them. which is your particular contribution to the business. and makes it the expression of yourself. Expression is all. whether it is art, or literature, or music. It is the giving-value of your personality. Let me make the illustration in this way. We have been laying a good deal of stress upon science in these days. In a technical institution I, visited not very long ago, the boys were testing a piece of steel to discover the laws of stress and tension. I said to them, UWhy do you test this piece of steel? You test that piece of steel because you want the knowledge of the laws that are inherent in that piece of material. There is no doubt about that at all. You are to sit humbly at the feet of nature, and learn what nature says. Do you say that you would like to build it in this way. or in that? No, you build it exactly as nature has told you according to the laws that you discovered in that piece of steel. You never dream of introducing your own opinion, as to what the steel ought to hear. That is not the question. The only thing that is absolutely present is the dominant fact of nature: What are the laws inherent in this piece of steel or wood, that I am going to use? And 510141015.

That is what obedience is. That is the whole secret of faith. When you have learned the lesson of science, that science is simply the way to learn the great secrets of life, and then follow them, you are no longer flotsam and jetsam on life,s stream, you are a great ocean-going vessel, possessed of its own powers of propulsion, and master of itself. Not long ago I attended an athletic meet, and I saw some very inter- esting things. There would be about twenty men that would get just so high in the pole vault7 and then there would be about two or three that could go two or three inches further; then there was a great struggle be- tween these two or three men. At last one man went up one-half inch higher than all the others. Now it is the extra half inch that wins. There are thousands of people that can do the ordinary record, there are numbers that ean do especially well, but when a man takes the 100-yard dash, and the 220-yard dash, and the 440-yard race at the same meet, and beats all the others, well, there must be something extraordinary about that man. The man that made that record is in California; he is a magnificent man. Do you think it was an accident that he made that record that day? The man. in the first place, was wise enough to have a good father and mother. Sometimes you will hear it said that ministers, sons are the greatest ras- cals that are at large. Now, in that meet that day it was a ministerls son who won that race. Now it was not an accident. He had good blood, and he had good discipline. and for those three 01' four years, he had been obeying the great laws of God has implanted in the human body. and the human soul. For no man wins a race unless he has spirit as well as muscle, and that is the whole secret and value of the great physical exercises of the present day. Now. what have I said ? If I had started in with a text, you would haw, thought it was a sermon, but I will give you the text at the end, and Saint Paul said it. And this is what he said when he had seen the Greek contest for excellence, and the achievements of those great men. He said, ttN-o man is. crowned unless he strive lawfullyfi That is to say, every game has its rules. and really, the rules are the game, and Obedience to the rules is the path to Victory. Now, the rules that God has written in your physical and intellectual nature are the rules of the game, and you have to play the game according to the rules, or you Will not win. And when you go out to your great work and pass to the noble service that any class of people can render to the community, I want you to feel that you are contestants in a great game. And the prize is the crown of life. Then you are bringing the best of yourselves to those in your chargeeand in this kind of service there is opportunity for the best that is in you, and for the great reverent spirit that God has put within all of us AN INDIAN RBMINISGENGE We were waiting for the stage-Mr. Bartlett and I. The old man was sitting on his favorite low bench, smoking. Mr. Bartlett,s smoking never ceased to be an interesting performance to me. He was a Yankee horn and bred, and his long life in the pioneer west had not destroyed even one little bit of that stern energy which characterized his every movement Even in his smoking he allowed himself no luxury. He drew the smoke from the pipe in short, quick, grunting puEs, and let it out of his mouth by opening his lips with rather noisy little gasps. He punctuated these inhalations and exhalations, by jerking his pipe out of his mouth, spitting briskly-and rather viciously, it always seemed to meeand replacing it with a sharp little click of his teeth. And I never regarded Mr. Bartlettls pipe without thinking how very typical of the old man it was. It was a very tine meerschaum bowl, black as ebony, fitted into a rather long, straight, plain, wooden stem, such as usually belongs to corncob pipes. Not a greater incongruity did it seem to me to find this slight, slim, straightforward, energetic Yankee, living in the midst of these fat lazy Mexicans. Rushing to California in 49, following the gold up the Frazer River, and then driving the Indians out of their fastnesses in the Rocky Mountains of the Great Basin, he had lived hard and much; fortunes had been his only to be lost. In the early days he had been so , openly, so blatantly a Yankee, that he was first known as HThe Yankeeih then HYankee , and then it was a short step to itYank , which, With that peculiar persistency of an apt sobriquet had made him ttYankii always, and everywhere. Even to his grandchil- dren he was HPa Yank . Early in his life he had formed one of those peculiar partnerships which were known only to pioneers and pioneer days. As it happened, his partneris name was ttHenry , which was with- out any ceremony made ttHank , and the firm name, known far and near, was HHank and Yank? Now in these last days, here in this deserted mountain camp, he lived in this picturesque old adobe, waiting, with only Julita, the soft-eyed maid of twenty, Who remained faithfully with her father, in spite of ardent wooers, to be called to join the faithful Mexican wife in that great West beyond the skies. The stage was late that night. It was often late. There always seemed to be many things to make it late; a horse might go lame, a wheel go to pieces, or Miguel, the genial driver, perhaps might meet a too con- genial and too convivial friend at some station. And so we waited. Mr. Bartlett finished his pipe, laid it aside, and leaned back against the Stephens. photo GRADI'AT CC, JUNIC CjIAASS, 1907 MISS NICCUM MISS RAYMOND sts LAUGHLIN MR.

There was a faint rattling of dishes from the back of the house, where J ulita was tinishing the after-supper work. Across the canyon a Mexivan lad was calling a dog that answered in short, quick barks. I sat on the steps, my elbows resting on my knees and my head in my hands. watching the moon rise from behind a ragged ridge of mountains, and thinking with pity of the millions of poor mortals who must live all their lives without once having the privilege of looking at such a spectacle. It is good to live in the mountains, good to breathe clear, crisp air fresh from snow capped peaks; good to see the sun go down behind pink or purple pinnacles; good to see the moon rise ttI eanlt never look at that thar jagged range of mountains in the immnlight, without a sort of shivery feeling up and down my spine, the old man broke in upon my reveries.

He held out thar against the soldiers for four years. and might? nigh finished up the pore settlers in these parts. My ranch is over thar between that jagged range of mountains, and the lower range this side of it. You remember whar the ranch is, donlt you? ttYes. I remembered riding over that nearest range of mountains, then over ranges and ranges of hills, and finally at the beginning of a deep can- yon. hanging over the edge of a rather swift river, coming upon the ruins of the old house and the broken-down corrals. uYes, my ranch was ruther a handy place for them Indians to stop at far some good, fat beef, or a few good horses, and if I hadnlt had the bravest boy that could be found in all this here territory of Arizona, they might have carried my scalp away to help decorate 01d Geronim0,s cave, nut, thar in them mountains. HJohnny was always his pappyls boy, from the time he was born. As slmll as he was old enough to hold up his head without having it pumped. I ustvr vari'y him around in my arms when I rode about the plaw. When he was three or four years old, he rode behind me, steadying himself by hanging on to my cartridge belt. ttHe was only eight that summer. Hank and me was staying out on the ranch for a few weeks, to brand some colts. Wife and the gals was a living here in the camp, but ol course Johnny had to be out thar with his pappy. One morning Hank said he believed he,d ride over to camp in the afternoon and get a little grub and some tobaccy. So we didn,t ride very far that morning, but had an early dinner so that Hank might leave early in the afternoon. uMy hoss that I had been a riding that morning was a beautiful black creature that knew and obeyed me jest like a child would. She knew my voice and followed me everywhere. I loved that horse jesl as much as an animal could be loved. Generally, I let her wander tround the house at her own free will but that day she was pretty warm When we rode in, 22 WHITE AND GOLD and so I tuk the saddle off and tied her to a post in the yard till she was cool enough to be fed. HAfter dinner 1 went down the path and opened the gate for Hank and advised him jes afore he went thru the gate to take the trail along the ridges and keep his eyes open for any lurking hound-dogs of Indiana that might be around. Then he rode down into the tall willows. which grew along the trail to the river. I turned back to the house and went in 10 get some grain for old Betsy, that was a remindint me, with soft whin- nies, that she was hungry. NJohnny was a layiny on the floor playhf with a little collie pup. It was as peaceful and as quiet tround the house as you could Wish for. thes, as I stepped out the door With Betsyts dinner in my hand. I heerd a gun fired, and then my hair riz on my head, when right away I heerd a yell from Hank. I ran like a rabbit down to the Willows. and met Hank comint toward me holdin, his hand to his side. But he couldntt hold back the stream of blood that poured out and left a little trail along the ground. tt tYank, he says, tItm done fer.

I wasn,t any too quick, fer shot was fallint all round us. as I dragged Hank into the house and laid him on the floor. mllhen I got ready to fight them Indians. No, I didnt know how many there was of them, nor jest whar they was, but somewhar on that hill that riz up from the river, they was a hidin, behind rocks and trees. and a shootint across the canyon at us. You see the house beint up on a little hill, and havint nothint around it to protect it, they could take care- ful aim, and pick us 01f one at a time. It would never do to let them guess that there was only one able-bodied man in that house, so, from the winder, I picked out a bunch of grass that seemed onnatural lively, and found a well-aimed rifle ball would make it jump into the air and yell pretty much like an Indian. Then I fired from the door and again from the window; then I leaned around the corner of the house and fired at feathers bobbint tround in the grass. HI forgot all about pore old Betsy, and when I saw her tuggin, at her rope, and pushin, her head out to me, and whinnyint so pitiful'and fright- ened, I was halfway out the door to save her before I thought what I was a doinK ttIf it was only myself had been there, Pd a gone right out to her, but there was pore old Hank a dyint, and when I thot of the way theytd torture little Johnny, I knew I jest had to stay right that and fight ,em.

We knew it before we could shake the sleep from our eyes enough to look through the window. The chinook feeling was in the air and Chinook sounds were everywhere. The swish, thud of falling snow, the drip, drip, patter, drip from the melting snow on the roof. and the sound of the Wind as it tossed the branches of the pines, were unmistakable sounds of the Chinook. As we opened the window a rush of warm wind, laden with the scent of clean pine needles, filled the room. The wind had driven the fog out of the valley and pushed it high up against the mountains. During the long quiet winter the snow had been piling up deeper and deeper 0n the pines and firs, till their branches were bent, sometimes to breaking. under the load. Many of the bi: trees near the house had been so heavily loaded that the trees themselves threatened to break and had to be cut down to avoid dangelx Now the warm wind was swiftly undoing the work of many snow storms. Quantities of snow. from a handful to enough to till half a wagon box, were tumbling through the branches of all the trees. As the limbs were relieved ef their burdens. they straightened back, the wind caught and tossed them aml the motion loosened other masses of snow. The snow mm the ground was thawing underneath and every little while a soft rushing sound told us that it was settling and we could see bushes and yrmng trees lifting their heads from the white covering which had held them down so long. Out in the road, the snow which had furnished such tine sleighing for so long. was now very soft and was being fast turned into mmidy slush by the logging teams, hurrying to get the last logs in betnre the show should he gone. Where the road crossed the creek, little streams of muddy water were already running down the banks and over the iee. Before another morning- a black stream of water would be rush- ing and foaming madly down the channel where the creek lay now quietlv 11111111111ri119 under its thick covering of ice and snow. and if the t-hinnnk kept on blowing another week w ould see the hills all hate and H ml; for spring. II. THE PASSING OF THE MONARCH Out in a little open space in the woods stood an old monarch of the forest. a great pine tree. Branches. large enough for trees themselves, spread out straight and grand majestic in theil strength But the top of the tree w as dead. The slender naked top with its poor dead branches leached up beseechinglv toward the fleeev white clouds and blue skx overhead. It was spring-time and spring-time in that land meant clearing. 26 WHITE AND GOLD Trees had ta be cut down, logs hauled away and brush burned. and the old monarch must go with the rest. The first stroke of the ax revealed :1 surprise The tree was hollow. the inside having rotted away. Father cut an 211 sunu of the b211k and thin shell of w 00d then gatheIing a hand- ful of 01117 leaves and moss he placed them amoncr the pieces of thy- wood inside the tree- in a few moments a fire was undomg the w01k of hundreds of yeals. The lotten wood burned slowly but the fire kept eating steadily upward all day long. and just before sunset the flames - burst out at the top of the tree. This created a regular chimney and the strong draught, rushing in at the base of the tree, carried the smoke and flames away above the top. There seemed to be a wonderful amount of fuel in the main body of the tree. The fire roared and crackled inside the dark walls for a long time before it began creeping out around the branches. But when the limbs did begin to burn the whole thing was a wonderful sight. A great column of flame shooting out at the top of the tree, long tongues of fire running out on the branches and licking up the leaves, dry moss, and smaller twigs, dazzling drops of burning pitch hissing on their way to the ground, and showers of sparks drifting away on the night air-all combined to make a striking picture. Soon some of the big limbs fell crashing t0 the ground and the flames and smoke came pouring out through the openings left in the tree. The wood was lighted up in all directions, the great trees looming up ghostly against the gloomy background of forest. We all stood watching the fire, fascinated by the sight and hushed by the deafening roar. Once as a group of us were standing a little apart from the others, my sister plucked me by the sleeve and asked What I would do if the tree should part and one half of it come toward us. The words had scarcely left her lips when the great burning mass seemed to split from top to bottom and the greater part fall in our direc- tion. With a cry of terror, I clutched my sisters arm and we ran like wild things till we stumbled over a fallen log and turned to see where the tree had fallen. But it was still standing. One of the largest limbs had simply burned off and fallen in the opposite direction from where we had been standing. Our imaginations had supplied the rest. The fright, however, took away the charm of the scene and we went away leaving the tree to its fate. By noon the next day it was practically all burned up. The few blackened pieces lying about were gathered to- gether and fired, and that night closed over a hollow, jagged, black stump. all that was left of the one-time monarch. III. THE THUNDER STORM One hot summer afternoon in the long ago, my sister and I, brown- faced and barefooted, were herding the cows out on the bunch grass prairie. Nothing very strange in that-we had done it many times be- WHITE AND GOLD 27 for'v-ghnt Ml this particular day smnething happened which left an im- pression mi our minds for many days afterwards. The cattle had found good food and were very quiet. XVe were glad because it was tun warm tn do muvh running and We were having a fine time with 0111' stick-dolls Did you ever play with stiek-dolls? No? Why. they are just the nicest kind of dolls because when you get tired of them you can throw them away and get new ones so easily. XVell, we had been sitting in the grass, playing for some time, when my sister jumped up to see where the cows were and exclaimed, tWNhy. its getting dark! Wonder if its time to take the cows home. I donit see mama anywhere thoughfi Mother always came nut to the road and waved a big white cloth when it was time to go in. ttNo, it cant be five oiclock yet , I said, gbut look there at that cloud V, Off to the northwest, a huge mass of black and brown clouds was fast spreading over the sky. The forward part of the mass was rolling and breaking like a great wave, and touches of green began to show here and there. We ran, frightened half out of our wits, to round up the cattle. They seemed to understand what was coming and in a few minutes were all headed toward the home road. Up to this time the air had been per- fectly quiet, not a breath moved the tall grass and no sound came from the storm, but just as the leader of the herd stepped into the dusty road, a flash of lightning and a crash of thunder broke the intense strain. The cattle started on a run, great drops of rain pattered in the dust, and angry gusts of wind flung our hair into our faces till we could hardly see where we were going. Another and another flash of blinding light- ning and peal after peal of deafening thunder and then the rain fell in torrents. Mother met us about a quarter of a mile from home just as the first hail stones began to pelt on our heads. We caught hold of hands and rushed madly after the cattle and in an incredibly short time, though it seemed like an age, we had the last calf in the corral and father was putting up the bars. He had been plowing in a distant field and was caught like the rest of us. Soaked t0 the skin, we made our way to the house and proceeded to get into dry garments as speedily as possible. For an hour, the rain poured steadily, and then stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The sun burst out from behind the clouds, a beautiful rain bow was hung across the eastern sky, which was still dark with the receding storm, and the storm was over. ETTA KRAMAR EDITORIAL The class of l0? leaves us this month, and with them go many pleasant associations, many friendly little understandings. When we look at it from a point of view allowing ample perspective, look at the routine of the years, at the classes coming and going coming and goinge- with a sort of harassing, teasing insistence, it makes us Quo catch our breath at the vagueness 0f manis destiny: Vadis words in themselves so vague and high-sounding as to be almost laughable It brings up the eternal question that has harassed men in general, and especially graduates 0n the threshold of their Alma Mater. for all the centuries. What Omar said about the uncertainty of a far mightier, far more awesome coming and go- ing than the one referred to here, may yet be quoted in this connection: ttThis mom a thousand roses brings, you say; Yesebut where blows the rose of yesterdayWi And this same summer month that brings the rose.

The various shrubs and trees planted here and there are growing mightily, each of them. to the fond. imaginative eye of the stu- dents and faculty of the school, showing every day a distinct attainment in height or girth. On warm days. if a person stands San Diego on the portien or at the windnw, with half-closed eyes, Hopes he ran imagine himself looking over a distant plain, where rnbust shade trees. belittled by the perspective, invite one to rest under their ample foliage; of course. if the observer is too observant, the illusion does not come and all he sees is the bare, pebbly, tlry-grassed campus. planted with trees too young. alas. to be of shelter to any but birds and jackrabbits. There is a certain amount of consolation, however, in the fact that our children, or, not to be too sanguine, our ehildrenls children, when they are brought up-eas of course they will be-- to attend the State Normal School of San Diego, will be able to rest under the spreading branches of the mature trees planted by us in the palmy days of our school life. It is to be regretted, to return to sensible dis- course, that the trees we have here in California are not the sort that attain to any masterly height, even in their hoariest age. If this were so, we might hope some day to see our school, majestic and pallid, defined against dark trees that would overtop and back it. Stuphcns.

CURRICULUM On June 30th. 1906. the Joint Board of Normal School trustees adopt- ed a resolution to the elfevt that the Normal School course in California shall cover a period of two years. and that admission thereto will be limit- ed to recommended high school graduates or equivalent preparation. The resolution also permits such normal schools as have the necessary room and equipment, to offer preparatory courses. This school has taken ad'- vantage of this resolution. and has established a preparatory course cover- ing four years open to recommended graduates of grammar schools. This preparatory course is especially intended to prepare its graduates for professional study and to furnish such common knowledge as every well equipped teacher ought to possess before engaging in actual teaching. It also incidentally prepares its graduates for admission to any reputable college or university in the country. The action of the joint board puts the normal school squarely on a college basis, the requirements being precisely the same as the requirements to enter the University of California. The uurmal school course, although covering but two years. calls for more serious study than the first two years of college work. Ordinarily, college students are not admitted to professional education courses until they enter the junior year, whereas the normal school demands of its students an intelligent study of these courses during the entire two years, corres- ponding in point of time to the freshman and sophomore years at college. Beginning with September next. by the abbreviation of some of the courses. and by Offering electives in others, we will be able to give a half- yearls course in the domestic or household arts, devoted chiefly to cooking and sewing. Adequate equipment Will be provided and a specially trained instructor employed. The establishment of a cooking course will also en- able us to furnish lunches t0 the students at actual cost. Arrangements are now in progress whereby the school will offer graduate courses in Manual Training: Drawing. and Music. The aim of these courses is to prepare students specially interested along any of these lines to fit themselves as supervisors or special teachers to meet the demand that has arisen. particularly in the cities and larger towns. For the same reason, beginning With September. 1908. advanced courses in domestic science and arts will be offered. The last legislature. besides providing for the current expenses 01 the school made three important special appropriations; tat For repairs and additional equipment. $5000; tbl for improving the campus, $5000; and tel for the erection and equipment of a training school, $40,000. The last two appropriations are inadequate. The trustees are now consider- ing what is best to do under the circumstances. During the summer a school garden with an area of over 10,000 square feet. will be prepared. This will be the agricultural laboratory of both normal and training school. THE STORY OF THE HIDDEN CABIN It lav nestled in the overhanging brush and broken branches of the surroilnding trees, nothing left but a portion of what had been four 10g walls enclosing a square room. An immense cedar stood dlreetly in front of the one-time doorway. Delicate brakes and spotted tiger hlies nodded back and forth in the soft breeze which stole. between the trunks of the great trees that hid the cabin from the outer world. A medley of romances hung about this old hidden cabin. The one most often told was the one which had given the mountain its nickname, Smith. Smith was a typical western cattle thief, a large burly man with a ragged red beard. He owned a large herd of cattle many of which he had obtained by unlawful methods. The ranchers for one hundred miles around were getting more than desperate over their frequent losses, and had resolved to put a stop to them if possible. One morning, after a night of raiding, Smith was frying his bacon and boiling his coffee, when his attention was attracted by the crackling of twigs not far away. Glaneing in the direction from which the sound came, he caught sight of something moving. This something proved to be a small dark brown face feamed in shining blue-blaek hair, and two soft brown eyes peered at him in a startled manner. He recognized D0- lores, a slender little Indian maiden of eighteen whom he had noticed about the rancheria. ttBuenos dias, he called and motioned the girl to share his bacon with him. She came shyly forward, shaking her head. and then, as tho not. able to hold in any longer, burst forth in an excited mixture of Indian and Spanish to the etteet that the constable was after him and that he must leave immediately. IIe thundered forth an oath and proceeded to eat. The girl drew closer and with pleading eyes begged him to listen and go quickly. HWhat makes you think so?H growled Smith. ttAnd whatls it to youtw As he looked at the slender trembling figure before him he rea- lized she certainly must have some grounds for the story or why would she climbed the hill to tell him this ? ttDolores, come herefi he said softly. hTell me who told youiW She then explained that when she was grind- ing the meal she had heard Poncho and Jose talking about Smith and saying it would serve him right if he was caught and that ltwas a sure thing he would be. ttWhy have you come to tell me this? What is it to you whether he gets me or notiw Smith volleyed angrily. The girl winced and said softly. tWVell. you helped me to find a lost calf once when I was a child and youe-you you really must go. Thatls all. Smith. though he was gruff. had a heart. and this slip of a girl had touched it with her soft pleading. There was not another person who 32 WHITE AND GOLD cared; no one had cared since his mother died. The man sat gazing t silently into the fire; when he finally raised his eyes an anxious voice was saying, HBut you will go? Go! Hurry! Up the trail, on the Mountain of 1 the Doves, turn to the right at the oak tree and follow the stream to the falls, and then up to the left between the hills, youtll find a good place to camp. Youill go, won,t you? ttYesf, returned Smith, tilill go, but now you must go back to the ranch. Thanks for the bit of advice. Goodbye.H After Dolores had gone Smith packed his blankets and a few other things on the bare back of his pony and started off up the trail. A11 morning the two, horse and , man, climbed slowly up. On reaching the top he took off the pack, turned the pony homeward, and went on carrying the things on his own back. His destination was finally reached and he flung himself wearily down for the night in the shelter of the brakes. The next morning he was up bright and early and began chopping i down some of the young trees for the cabin he intended to build. But i the work went slowly for he had no nails. One day as he sat whittling out spikes, a figure clad in buckskin peered around the great cedar in , front of the door; there was a joyful cry and Dolores burst in upon him. ' HBless your heart! Bless your heart! Smith softly broke out, ttand , how did you get hereiW tilive been herding fatheris cattle for a week, while he was 011? t hunting you, and s0 got these to youJ, she explained, handing him a 1 bag of meal and one of potatoes. They ate together, each telling the hap- ' penings 0f the week. After this the cabin grew and was finished. Every visit Dolores made with food it showed more signs of comfort. She came h often, but one morning when she came she found the constableis whip ; lying in the path and then Smith,s lifeless body hanging to a tree. They found her there in the path many weeks after and wondered at the ways of the world.

PRESIDExT-A beautiful custom has grown up in this school connected with Commencement. As each class graduates it leaves some gift as a token of the esteem with which it holds the school, and as an aid in beautifying the interior of the building. The class of 1997 chose us its parting remembrance t0 the school a portion of the famous lJas-itclief,ttTl1e Singing Gallery, sculptured hy Luca Della Robbia during the fifteenth century for the cathedral at Florence. In the original there are ten pieces, of which we have here representations of the first four. Della Robhia took as a guide to his ideas the one hundred and fiftieth Psalm, which exhorts: h Praise the Lord with the sound of trumpets: praise him with the psaltery and harp: praise him with the timbrel and dances: praise him with stringed instruments and organs: praise him upon the loud cymbals. These various instruments are represented in the different sections of the entire bas-relief. The instruments here represented are the trumpet, the psaltery, the harp, and the timbrel. A critic has said of this work that, ttthc variety in the composition, the diversity Hf types, the entire Il?ltllI'.lllSth rendering of the expressions of the ynuthhil singers uml musicians, each in accordance with his voice 01' instru- ment, the rich and yet perlleetly simple arrangement mncle possible by the classic style of high relief, 2m.l the lllllSllCll ex tCUllOll of this work in marble, woulll ensure for it 21 place among the masterpieces oli the Renaissance. even were it not for the beauty of the lhi'iiis,:i11tl grace Of the movements which have given it its popularity. I think we can :Igree with the poet when look- ing upon umnrhle hretle of men 11ml maidens, he says that hhenrtl melodies :n'e swect, but those unheard zlre sweeter. We ezumut help but feel while gazing on this wonderful achievement of the sculptor that he has put his whole soul intn the work. that he has felt all the impulses of. joy and glutincss portrayed by these mnrhlc figures, as if they were his own. Perhaps that is why the ltSinging Gallery has heemne so famous: heennse a man has put part of. himself, part Of his life, into the work. Therefore, on behalf of the class of 1907 I present to the Normal School through you, Mr. President, this frieze. Permit me to express the hope that us the members of this class go out into their life work, they, like Luca Della Robbin, will put their whole soul into whatever comes to them to do. A SUMMER DAY MORN The bright stars, one by one, had closed their eyes, The sky from darkness changed to heavenly blue. The white-Wingkl clouds like night-birds went to rest Beyond the distant line of purple hills. And all was fair and still, with awesome pause As if expectant of some wondrous thing, A happening of great import to each, The heav ,11 and earth and all the creatures there. Then, oler the mountains came the glorious sun. And, for a time, the sky all rosy grew. The birds burst forth in one grand matin song, The lark arose from his low house of grass And, perched on yonder bush, poured forth his joy. A million diamonds gleamed With colors rare A11 oler the herbage low and vine and tree. The spiderls web was strewn with jewels bright; And sleepy, golden buds awakened, bloomld, And insects chirped and busy life began. NOON At 110011 the sun beat down with burning glare Alike 011 shimmering plain and jagged hills; All birds were hushed, n0 joyful song rang out, No ringing bird-song, glad in Nature's praise; The insect hid within his dark cool hole; All plant-life dumped as if in agony, Burning With summerls scorching, blinding heat. The traveler. toiling: on his weary way, Dusty and thirsty. sees before him stretch Only the endless roll of grey mesquite; And. slowly circling over some dead thing, The. dingy black of lazy buzzardk Wings. 34 WHITE AND GOLD EVEN But eventide drew near with cooling breeze; The sun sank low in hazy western sky; The birds awoke and flew about oTer fields; The crickets chirped and. in the ponds. the frogs Began their evening concerts loud and low. Then, oTer the sea, a pearly mist appeared; The black-birds saw it and began to sing And all the other birds rejoiced and sang With them, the even-song 0f grateful praise. And like a moving wall the mist advanced But like a downy blanket covered all, Bringing relief from pain, and coolness sweet After the heated length of summerk day. Darkness descended and enveloped all. EDITH HAVVLEY WITH THE. OLYMPIANS IV. THE WORKSHOP 0F HEPHAESTUS It never would have happened if it hadntt been for Gladysl Aunt Flora. I always said that she carried herself as if she had the destinies of men concealed in the folds of her garments. But I guess Iid better begin at the beginning and tell you the whole thing. The faculty-all those that amount to anything, anywayehave al- ways been so good to us girls that we sort of felt that we owed them some demonstration of affection. The idea had been hovering around in Hthe margins of our consciousness, to quote Doctor Barrett, for ever so long, but Dedication Day had come and gone, and Memorial Day, and the Seniors were beginning to look hunted and happy, before Lucy had her inspiration. We girls always have ideas on the instalment plan, and take turns paying the instalments. Well, one morning, Lucy came to school with a turned-loose air, and as soon as she saw us, began burbling in the most absurd way about tlmotherii and tthouse-partyll and ttthe cook . We saw that she was bursting with something or other, either very tragic 0r perfectly lovely, so we sat her down on the front steps and told her to go slow and easy. It amounted to this: Her mother had to go up to Bakersfield 0n businessethey own property up thereeand would be gone about a week; Lucy eouldnit go, of course, and her mother said she might have ttsome of the girls, to stay With her and help her run things. The only hitch in the whole thing was that the cook had just given notice out of a clear sky, being one of those new-edueation kitchen ladies that want the earth. But we thought we could manage, though not one of us can cook. beyond making fudge and pinoche, and toasting marshmallows to a turn. And it was a lark! If you knew Lucy,s house you kl understand why. It was at this point that Lucy fired her inspiration at us point-blank. She wanted to give a party to the most likely members of the faculty! Well, it took almost the whole day to get to the point where we were sane enough to plan anything. Then Corinne, whose manners are always the most dependableewe all swear she studies etiquette and ttDonlt books in her leisure momentsesaid she thought it td be kind of queer to invite some of the faculty and leave others out, since they had all been lovely to us, as far as they knew how. So we made out a list, putting down the names in the order of their merit, beginning with Sherlock Holmes and Miss Blair. and ending with Professor Smith, the new German teacher. Hels so distant. and cold, and nice-looking, that he reminds you x of the snow on the mountains, and so correct in his clothes that he makes you think of the Kuppenheimer ads in the magazines. Then he has the best manners I ever saw in a maneTerry is skeptical and says he ,11 out- 36 WHITE AND GOLD grow it; she says all men do at a Normal Schoole-and a haughty air of. indifference to things in general, that is interesting. Well, after the list was made out, we set the date for the next Friday, and planned about the writing of the invitations, sois to have them all: come, if we could. The invitations were great; made on butcher-paper,l with scarlet and black lettering, and tied with express-twine. Gladys had the idea, and I wrote the verses. They read like this: I 011. doft' that mask of Dignity, And give your youth a chance; Take off that cap of Wisdom And in Follyls headgear dance. Pocket your frown, pull out your smilee Dear me, but that looks well! Be just as foolish as you like- Thereis no one here who,ll tell. Leave safe at home your pride and pomp; Prepare to make you merry With Gladys, Lucy and Corinne With Leslie and with Terry. Of course we didnt expect theytd all come; some people donlt under: stand that girls are different from grown-ups, and arentt willing to for- give them for being silly. Uncle J ay is the dearest thing; he saysehut that hasnlt any connection with our party. XVell, sure enough they didnt all come. There were Miss Gregory, the preceptress; Miss Blair and Sher- lock, Mr. Curtis and Miss Cheveley, Mr. Tregarde and Dr. Barrett an Professor Fairfax and President Flagg; then the two supervisors in the training-school, Miss Day and Miss Carroll, and last of all, Professor Smith! When we got his note of acceptance, I wish you could have seen us. We were all completely fiabbergasted. Why, we never dreamed heidi come. After all this, we began to think of what entertainment we could offer, and the refreshments. The full horror of the situation didnlt strike us till we got all those notes of acceptance, and realized that we had to- provide sustenance for a dozen teachers 01? their dignity. And here Lueyls cook was gone. and none of us could cook, as I said. It was Gladys, Aunt Flora that at last came to the rescue. Shels a dear, with white hair and a soft voice, and masterful manner. Shels a, daisy cook, too! The meals she gets are lit for the gods. So when she volunteered to help us out with the menu, and have the food, all cooked, sent over from her house in time for the party, we felt that the fates were, WHITE AND GOLD 37 kind indeed, and so we foolishly spent the rest of the time before Friday, planning the entertainment. Most of it was to be held on the lawn, and then. after dinner, we were going to have every one do a stunt. We planned to have it begin between four and five, so we could have all the fun we liked, and still have it stop early. There was to be Spin the Plate. and Blind Malfs Buti', and Hide-and-Seek, and Stage Coach, and Drop the Handkerchief, and Going to Jerusalem, and games like that. You can imagine what larks it would be, and how we looked forward to it. But it was on Friday, just after the fourth period, that the awful thing happened that I started out to tell you of. About two olclock, Gladys was called to the 7phone, and was gone almost a quarter of an hour. When she came back to class she looked so queeresuch a mixture of wonder, terror and perplexityethat I couldn,t take my eyes 0E her, and we all kept telegraphing to her to ask what the matter was. As soon as the bell rang we all hurried over to her, and she broke the news with the precision which one uses on a coeoanut, and burst into tears. Her Aunt Flora had gone to Los Angeles; her dearest friend was very ill and she had been sent for; nothing was done for the party except the ordering of the ice-cream and the baking of the cake. Not even the mayonnaise was made! Or the sandwiches! And the oysters had to be creamed and the Welsh rarebit done, and none of us knew a thing about anything! And the faculty were coming at half-past four. When we finally sat down and looked at the situation from a calm, unbiased point of view, one thing at least was clear; something had to be done. If only mother had been there. things would have been all right. for mother knows everything. lut all of 11s but Lucy and Gladys just board in town. It was a pickle, if you like. All the sixth period I spent telephoning to Mrs. Dent to have her tell me how to make the salad dressing, how to cream the oysters and how to make rarebit. She was preparing for a dinner in honor of an engaged couple. and was all flustered too, and by the end of that half hour, I declare I couldIYt remember whether it was the beer or the sherry that went into the oysters, or whether or not it was the rarebit that was done when the edges began to crinkle. Meantime, Lucy and Corinne and Terry had hurried home to make the sandwiches-that, at least, Terry does well-and Gladys stayed with me for moral support, and to take notes on the telephone messages I received; but her hand shook so, they were almost unreadable. When we reached the house at last and were dressing upstairs, Terry discovered sheld forgotten the pink girdle that belongs with her organdie, and Lucy had to rip an old hat to pieces to give her a belt. Then Corinne made the discovery that the place where her dress was torn by that clumsy Brooks boy,s stepping on it, wasnt mended yet, and tune had to be taken for that. At half-past four, three of us were sup- 38 WHITE AND GOLD posed to be all ready to receive the guests, but we cut the number down to two, and while Lucy and Terry-wh07d worked the hardest-sat dOWI in the front hall to cool off, Corinne and Gladys and I set to work in the, kitchen. Corinne and I had to fix the oysters. while Gladys grated the; cheese. We opened the refrigerator and took out the huge, covered; earthen pot, and put it on the sink-board ; I untied the cloth and looked in. Why, there were hundreds of themegreat, clumsy, hard things. Andiq while we began to fumble in that wilderness of shell-fish to find one that Wasnlt s0 tight-shut as the others, we heard, in the front of the house, the faculty arriving, their talking and laughterePresident Flaggls basso prO-v fundo mingling with Miss Carrollls mezzo-soprano. We envied the other girls, I can tell you, and Corinne began to whimper as the can-opener, that: she was persuading an oyster with, slipped and skinned her thumb. 1 We were getting along quite well, with almost a dozen oysters out of. their shells-rather battered and sad-looking, to be sure, but still intaet- and Gladys had almost all the cheese grated; we could hear the laughing and shouting from the front lawn, and the running of feet up and down the steps and on the porch. Then suddenly the clock struck Iive. We were so absorbed in the fun outside that weld forgotten how important the dinner was, and how the time was flying, and were dawdling fearfully 1 Well when the clock struck we all got panic- -stric ken and while Gladys; scooped up the grated cheese sheld spilled I left Corinne tinkering with the oysters and went into the pantry to make the mayonnaise. Now, I ve seen mayonnaise made loads of times, and Mrs. Dent had 1 said to begin with the yolk of one egg and add a quart of oil, drop by I drop, so I began, stirring the egg while I poured the oil out with the a other hand. It didn,t seem to act right. but I kept on. Then all of a , sudden, the stuff began to eurdle; at least I know that much about mayon- naise. And I know that the only cure for it is to begin all over again, and gradually work in the curdled dressing. So I started over again. Well. its too absurd to tell. It eurdled three times, and I had just quarts of ' mayonnaise that wouldnlt act properly, when Gladys called to me that the cheese was ready, and it was half-past five, and Corinne screamed suddenly because she'ld gouged her hand again with the can-opener. I thouglt of all the trials before 111v; and the mayonnaise not done, and that erond of people to feed. I 001111111 it help it, I began to cry and stir the ! stuff again, becaiisc- I was ashamed 1.0 confess that just common 01d salad- I dressing had phased me. When one 01 my tears actually splashed into the mixing-dish, I began to giggle, and while I was collapsed on the window- I sill giggling, with the tears still on my face, I heard Gladys say coldly, HOh, certainly. Right in the cupboard,l, and before I could get up the i door was whipped open and there stood Professor Smith. LL.D! I almost , fell out of the window. Then I got up, dish and all, and brushed past him, v 53.1.2: WHITE AND GOLD 3 9 laughing and crying at once, into the kitchen, where there was room to run. He stood helplessly in the doorway for a moment, immaculate in his Tuxedo and patent-leathers, staring at useat Corinne nursing her cut hand, at Gladys with her mountain of grated cheese, and at me crying over my bowl of curdled' mayonnaise; then his eyes wandered to the table, all mussy with cheese-rinds and oyster-shells, and with those sixteen mis- erable, delapidated oysters lying in state amidst the wreckage. tThen he burst into a perfect shout of laughter and laughed and laughed until he collapsed into a chair. I guess we must have looked forbidding, for, after a minute he stood up, and with his eyes filled with tears, said abjeetly, uI sincerely beg your pardon, young ladies, butebut, really, you know, Miss Chester, you don,t stir mayonnaise, you beat it, and it' you begin with two eggs it wont eurdle; forgive me, Miss Mason, but you have enough cheese there to make welsh rarebit for a regiment; Miss James, oysters are opened with a can-opener only when they Ire canriedesee, PH Show you how to tackle those fellows? And, if you Ill believe me, in an instant he had a knife in one hand and an oyster in the other, and with the merest little twist had it open in a jiffy7 with the oyster absolutely perfect. We stood by and watched him with open mouths in the blankest, most moonstruek way, when suddenly he asked, tMay I have an apron, please'W Then we all got our senses back at once, and began all together questioning and protesting and explaining. We told him the whole story from the very beginning. and Corinne finished by asking appealingly, Can you cookW, and ttCan I W echoed Professor Smith, ttI havenlt en- tertained at college and camped with my sisters four years in succession for nothingW Well, it was a miracle. We gave him an apron, and there he stayed in the kitchen with usehe had come to the back door to get a pie tin for Spin-the-Plateeand showed us how to do the oysters, and when to put the beer into the rarebit, and whipped up the mayonnaise with a superfine air of ease. Illl never forget it. I have a Vivid, mental picture now, of that man, standing over the stove, with a blue-and-white checked apron tied over his Tuxedo, a bottle of beer in one hand, a big spoon on the other, and a look of absolute absorption on his face, creating that immortal rarebit. Looking back at it now, it all seems too good to be true. That sup- per-our supperewas the best I ever ate! The table looked beautiful, With the centerpiece of yellow roses, and Gladys' white-and-yellow plaee-eards; the oysters were a dream, simply; the rarebitewell, I wont attempt to describe it; and the saladethere was enough dressing to put Durkee out of businesshwas a marvel, no less. Everyone said so. I wish you could have seen Professor Smithls face when the rest of the faculty praised our 4.0 WHITE AND GOLD supper. He has never told to this dayethat is, the true inwardness 0f the situation. I call that downright noble. After supper, everyone had to do a stunt. Miss Gregory and Presi. dent Flagg both made serious speeches, Mr. Curtis sang a coon-song, and Mr. Tregarde did some sleight-of-hand with some coins, a silk hat and an onion. Then Professor Barrett and Doctor Fairfax, who were at college to- gether, sang a duet, and Sherlock Holmes delivered a mock-serious ora- tion on woman,s suffrage; Miss Blair sang HLa Palomah, and played on Lucyts guitar. Last of all, Professor Smith sang a nonsense-ballad about ttEtiquette , and they all wondered why we laughed till we cried over the line: uHe had often eaten oysters, but he,d never had enough. It was a great time, and one I donht think we,11 ever forget, even long after wetre through school here. But one thing is certain; if ever I marry, ittll be a man who can cook, like Professor Smith! ELIZABETH VANE'S. HEROIC RUN FOR POWDER A LITTLE GIRL AND A KEG 0F POWDER A CONTRIBUTION FROM THE TRAINING SCHOOL tThe following story and the sketch 0n the opposite page illustrating it, represent two of the various forms of expression employed in the his- tory department of the Training School. The story was first told to the pupils by a student-teacher in the third grade, retold orally by several of the class, then illustrated in charcoal by all the pupils. As it appears, the story is a verbatim report taken by the School stenographer, and the illustration is an exact reproduction of a little girlls charcoal sketchJ There was a little fort on the Ohio River called Fort Henry. And there was some people. just a few. and most all had left. for some of them u as killed. The Indians had come and fought. and every once in a while they 11ml to yield, until at last there were, only 12. And one day the Indians come. and fought, and surrounded the whole, fort. and there was only just a few and 500 Indians 0n the outside. and there was only 12 men in the fort to tight. So they began to fight and fnught until the, powder was pretty near out. And the captain said. 4'0111' powder will not last very much longelgll he said. A little boy stepped up and said he would go get it. The captain said there was one cask of powder over in the powder house about 60 yards from there. One of the boys said, ttI will go and get the prrnler. And the captain said, ttYou knuw what it means, it means death. Just then Elizabeth Vane stepped up and said she would go, and' before they could stop her she ran off, and she said they needed every man and boy. So she went. She started Off and ran and the Indians were so startled at her that they didnlt even shoot their arrows. And so she ran nVer there safe and got the cask of powder, and she ran back, and When she. was just a few yards from the gate the Indians shot. They shot at her, but they didnlt know what she had before, and then they began to shoot, but not one hit her. The captain dragged her in, and the captain said to her, tlThank God. Thank Gole And then the powder was almost giving out. and he says. uThe powder will not last but an hour, just a little while,U And so they were waiting for relief all the time. at the very last minute when every bit of powder was almost gone, the relief came and the Indians found out they were surrounded by English. The English had mme. So the Indians dropped their bows and arrows and ran. DOES NATURE NEED ttPROGRESSIONh In our present age of science, with our ears deafened by the roar of machinery, our eyes dimmed by smoke and steam, we are in danger, un- consciously, of letting ourselves be carried away by the great spirit of Progression. Of course, we all know that there is a great deal of nonsense voiced by different classes of devotees about the ultra-simple life, getting next to nature and all of that; and while we find ourselves laughing these notions t0 scorn as absurd and ridiculous, we forget that there is danger of just as great extremity in the opposite direction, that the pendulum is bound to swing the other way, the reaction bound to follow the action. This isnt at all what I started out to say: but the unexpected edifice sprung up atop of the simple foundation of my thought. The other morning, walking up to school, ailongtthe cushiony oiled road, with the birds joyously lilting and singing on the tops of the tawny grevillia trees, and the sunlight, shed from behind the great drop-curtain of clouds, illuminating the opalescent mountains so that they resembled the Promised Land of our dreams, my senseseat least three of them- were jarred by the whirlwind approach, Glamorous presence and odorous passage of a, red automobile. And forthwith followed the train of thought With Which I began. Did you ever walk through the park on one of these cool, damp spring mornings, When the bay and Coronado and Point Loma lie so still, so clear, so blue, lilac, golden and White, that they are like some exquisite- ly handled water-eolor? Have you had the joy of seeing the undisturbed tracks of the little night-animals in the dust of the roadside path? Of disturbing a foraging cat and her unconscious prey to see the one seam- per in one direction and the other skitter away in another, his White tail i bobbing into the grass? Of seeing the quail, away amid the trees, scratch- ing and feeding, alert but unafraid? And did you. in the midst of all these things, have the birds song cease, the quail whir away and the quivering hum of awakened nature drown in the loud approach of this red demon, With its insolent warning, mechanical racket and unnatural appearance? If you have seen and experienced these things you will un- derstand my leading paragraph. If you havent, it will pay you to have this lesson, so poignant and insistent and worthy of attention, brought before you in this way. It may be, if you take up some such morning pilgrimage, that no devil-wagon will pass you. So much the better. If it doesnt, yours will be the pleasure of having the lesson taught you in a kindly, quiet, positive way, instead of in a hurtful, jarring, negative one. Let us say that you do undertake this pilgrimage, and that you hnd your surprised spirit in close companionship with the little intimate WHITE AND GOLD 43 things of nature. The odor of the tar-weed, not yet in full bloom, assail's your nostrils; the vivid blossoms 0f the Concha Lava sploteh the pallor of the dried grass, and the rosy-white clumps of wild buckwheat rise from the midst of the brushwood. A friendly pointer, out also for a morning run, offers you his ready companionship: he trots at your side for a moment, then swings down the hillside, disappears in the brush and suddenly appears again half a mile ahead, to return to you with moist quivering muzzle and eager. confident eyes; he stalks the quail, now crouching. now pointing, and finally chases them .from their feeding- ground. coming back to you with his tail waving in triumphant conquest. When you turn off the beaten path and take the crooked, steep little trail down the hillside, the oats, in their pale spring garments, dart their dew- drenched heads at you, wetting the shoulders of your shirtwaist; a spiderls web, spun in silver, blocks your path and, thoughtful of the tiny architect, you walk Wide into the brush. But say you ride in the automobile, on those bounding cushions, your ears filled with the whistling of the wind, What are your sensations? The nearby brushwood and grass With all the sweetness of their blossoming, the trees with their green, golden and bronze tops, still bright with the night-dampness, are blurred to your vision, and fly past you like phan- toms. The mountains and farther hills are all of the happy morning that you may see at your leisure, and these you must regard through eyes half- closed against the rushing air. , So until all this nonsense of ttProgression, is realized as fully as is the nonsense of the Simple Life, our civilization Will keep steadily in- eroaching on that divine, primitive right of man, to see nature in all her fine freshness and intimate beauty, and through nature in this aspect, to open his heart to his God. CELEBRATING COMMENCEM ENT It was Commencement Day at last! Four hard. long years of toil for this one supreme moment! They were also glorious years, full of work and pleasure, joy and expectation. Such was a Seniofs meditation. She stood on the south portieo, beside a stately pillar, with her back to the building. In front of her stretched the campus covered with grass and flowers and shade trees. It was spring time, and every tree and shrub was covered with buds and blossoms. As she stood here her mind wandered back over those last four years. What good times she had enjoyed here! Would she ever have such good times again? It was pleasant to feel that the struggle was over, that the goal had been reached, but did it not make her feel a bit homesick to think that this was the last time that she could call the school her own? It would still be as home in her thoughts. but it would not really be so. It would belong to other classes. to the tzlaSses to come. If she came back. strange people would be in her place and there would be only an occasion- al one to greet her. In fact, and this was the worst of all, no one would really care whether she ever vanie back or not. To be sure the faculty would all extend a welcoming hand and her old friends would be glad to see her, but it would be for the moment. It would not count. But alas! One must grow up sometime, one can t be a schoolgirl forever. What silly pranks and boisterous jollity she had enjoyed! What fun it had been to tease the weaker sister, and to do all the things forbidden by both law and propriety. For instance. the day they all took turns sliding down the banister 0f the back stairs. She remembered that she herself very nearly broke her neck during that special performance-eb'ut. she didnt. and that was all that mattered. And then the races they had run up and down the corrider when nobody was looking. It was the gym instructor who had very nearly lost her life on this occasion, but that plucky little lady lived and clidnlt report damages either. Once she and some of the braver ones climbed up through the attic and onto the roof of the building'ettjust to see what it was like up there? What a daring deed it had been to steal into the PresidenVs office when no one was there and try on all the faculty hats. There had been a reli- able person left at the door. to be sure. while they dicl-it. but that didnt count. Just suppose the faculty had caught them! There had been rousing football and basketball rallies, at which times the old building rang with school yells and songs, and the peace of the quiet-loving ones was disturbed, and their nerves shattered beyond repair. tGlaring posters had been stuck onto the walls, held there by thumb tacks and piny-very bad things for plastering. A- -... :-.- n; , .g:1 .g, 3 I E! F. S1,! WHITE AND GOLD' 45 Regularly at each Social Committees spread and dishwasher7s party, after the mess of some reception or dance of the night before had been cleared away, had good faculty grub been consumed without as much as a lwqour-leave. It was an outrage, but the long suffering faculty were wise and didnlt take notice. And so her mind went from one thing to another, running through a list of pranks7 quite beyond the limit of repetition. It might be silly. but it was no end of fun. And to think that she would never have a chance to get into mischief in that old school again! All her mischief days. were over! Now she must truly settle down and be dignified. There are cer- tain things for which even a Senior may be forgiven, but a graduate- never. She would be a Senior for only a few hours more. She must ap- preciate every moment of it. It seemed a shame not to celebrate in some way. If there was only some daring deed, or some foolish prank to do for a last send 01f! Something to properly finish up things. Her eyes be- gan to twinkle with a naughty light, and her heart to thump a little faster. 1? must be something rare, something appropriate for the day. XVhile she stood there waiting for the inspiration, a group of girls came up the steps; catching sight of her they turned her way and accosted her. ttHerels the lady up here, rehearsing her speech, all to herself. Arenlt you now? iFess uplll ttNo, Ilm not . Ilve wasted all the time Ilm going to on the old thing. and here it is all ready for the last readingW HSay, girls, letls run off with her old paper and make her speak without it.

Now listen. I just happened to be looking in and I saw him lay his speech beside his hat on that table, Yes, he has his speech written down too, so Im not the only one. He told me yesterday that he never spoke in public in all his life without his notes, and that he always got abso- lutely lost without them. N ow that ,s just the point. Oh, girls, donlt you see? It will be such fun to watch him go pretty near frantic, and get all excited and go jumping around scared to death, all for nothing. 0h, thatlll be just the thing for a telimaxerl. They are all gone, so now is our chance. Come onlll With this she darted toward the Presidentls office with all the rest trooping after. No one knew just what this wonderful scheme was that had inspired Nan. or where it would lead, but they had full faith that it was a good one, and were ready to follow her bidding whatever it was. So in they all went. No one was in the office. The Hon. Dr. Sculpinls hat lay on the table, and beside it, in a very modest roll, lay the notes for his address to the Senior Class, which he had the honor of giving that morning. thow, girlsHl cried Nan, snatching the roll. lthere they are. What shall we do with themlw ttOh, Nan, youlcl better not? ltGoodness, but welll catch itW ltYou dont mean your going to hide themiW ttWhy sure! Whatls the harm? He wonlt care.

And 01f she went into another peal of laughter. Someone was coming down the hall, so something must be done quickly. Nan jumped up and looked wildly about. ttHerels just the thingy And she slid the paper under Dr. Sculpin's hat just before the door opened. They had thought it was Dr. Seulpin, but they were disappointed. Instead, it was that solemn Miss Satterlee who gave instruction in Latin, and never failed to appear just when she was not wanted. The girls all appeared very interested in something outside the door, at the moment she entered. Little by little the room filled with students and teachers and the excitement grew greater and greater as the minutes flew. Dr. Sculpin did not come in but every one else did. Every one wanted to know if her hair looked all right, and if her dress was hooked straight, and everybody had to do something for everybody else, and assured everybody that hthey looked just too sweet for anything? that they couldnit 100k nicer. And so the time flew. No one realized how late it was until they heard the music upstairs, and then for the first time they caught the nmr- mering of the audience and knew that their time had come. There was a quick order given at the door. The word was passed along. And be- fore they could think about it, they found themselves marching into the big auditorium with the eyes of hundreds of people upon them. and amid the wild applause of their fellow students. 011! This was indeed glorious! This was graduation. How fine it was to walk along with one is head held high in the air, to know that there was nothing to be ashamed of, that one s dress was becoming and fitted well! All were seated at last and proceeded to make themselves comfortable, and to look about and see what there was to be seen. The faculty and honored guests were taking their seats on the platform. Among them sat Dr. Sculpin. Nan reached over and generously punched the girl in front of her. uVVasth it mean that we had to miss all the fun? It would have been such a jokefl One of the honorables arose to give a few welcoming remarks. He spoke of the beautiful building, of our glorious mission in life, and of our opportunities. He then spoke of tlthe sweet girl graduatefl who was to make an address on HOur Responsibilities.H Nan gasped, turned pale and then clutched the air wildly. Her speech! Where was it? It was gone! 0h. terrible! What could she do. shout or scream, or just go up and whis- per t0 the man that she had lost her Responsibilities? Or, noble thought, she might faint and have to be carried out. lth, girls! Where is-what have you done with it? My speech! Oh gracious ! l l HOh. Nan, how awful!H consoled her horrified neighbors. 48 WHITE AND GOLD ttYou had it down in the offieef volunteered the girl just in back, in a stage whisper. No sooner was the suggestion made than it was acted on. Nan gathered her dream of a dress about her and pressed her way to the door, making a final dive out into the hall when she reached it. Down the stairs she flew. She remembered now. It had been laid on the table while she adjusted Dr. Seulpinls hat over his notes. It must be there now. She remembered perfectly. Along the hall she fairly raced and into the office. Owing to the laws of inertia she bumped into the table with an unnecessary amount of force. But the case was urgent. There was a wild scramble among flowers and books but to her consternation there was no sign of Responsibilities. She fairly jumped up and down in her excitement. What would happen? Would they refuse to give her a dip- loma because she had lost her Responsibilities? What would they think about her anyway? Such a careless thing! What would Prof. Wilbur say, the dear man who had helped her write it? And then, there was her own dear mother up in the audience, waiting with pride to hear her daughterls deelamathnn. And her brother and her brotherls friend! Oh, it was awful! It was more than she could stand. Tears came to her eyes and one spilled over and came drizzling down the side of her nose. At the other end of the table lay that oEending hat. She leaned over and gave it a punch. It obediently rolled over and collapsed onto the floor. Just one look was enough. Nan almost shrieked. For there under the hat just where she herself had laid it was Dr. Seulpinls notes on the ltEducation of the Twentieth Century, carefully folded and held to- gether with a rubber band. N an grabbed it and tore it open. Yes, it was the real, but-and then it all came to her like a flash. Dr. Seulpin had mistaken her speech for his notes and there he was at this very moment sitting up there on the platform with Responsibilities, probably tucked away in his coat pocket, while she-oh, this was worse yet! He would fail too, and all because of her. She remembered all that he had said about being frightened without his notes. How mortifying! Time was flying. She could hear the music floating faintly down the stairs. That was the first number on the program and hers came next. There was only one thing to do and she decided to do it. She would go quietly up to Dr. Sculpin, and hand him his notes. saying that she found them. He would investigate his side pocket and discover that he had something which did not belong to him, and turn it over to her. That would be easy. So up the stairs she flew again. The music had now ceased and she heard some- one talking. If they would only wait! And they were waiting. When she entered the room there was a dead hush all over the building. Her speech had been announced, and she had been discovered missing. Now every eye in the room was turned upon her and a storm of clapping broke out. She felt herself unconsciously l l sllggmens, STUDENT Bony Hrvxmeks, FALL Tumx 11111! Stlgixhens. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS, SPRING TERM IUIU WHITE AND GOLD 49 moving toward the platform. There was no time for an exchange of speeches. The whole assembly would witness. and it would be very em- barrassing fur Dr. Sculpin and he must be spared all pain at any cost, even if she faileil,ewas disgraced by so doing. It was no more than she deserved for her foolishness anyway. Her mind was made up in an instant. She marched upon the platform and resolutely putting her hands behind her. she boldly faced the audience. Her face was flushed with ex- citement and her eyes were sparkling. If she was a little out of breath her listeners forgave. her because of her bright enthusiasm and her lively manner. She did not hesitate an instant, but sallied forth on her discourse in elnquent style. Strangers listened with admiration; her friends list- ened with wonder. Once or twice she paused dramatically. It lent color to the delivery. Once she looked almost appealingly towards Drl Sculpin. He nodded his head to show his approval. From first to last she delivered her oration nn HOm- Responsibilities,, in a manner befitting a speaker of reputation. As she warmed up to her theme she forgot that she was speaking without her paper. It was only as she neared the end of her theme that she lHHmPH mnswinus of it. Then she remembered that she was not yet out of the dilemma and that Dr. Sculpin, and not herself, was in trouble. It was yet. for her to give him his notes. An inspiration came to her. She edged over nearer the table. She was now making her final conclusions and bringing the oration to a triumphant close. and as she finally uttered the last sentence she laid the notes for the uEducation of the Twentieth, Centuryll 0n the table. Just as a roar of applause burst forth from the audience. something caught her eye. It was well that the attention of every one was distracted by the confusion, for they might have wondered at. the expression which came over Nanls face at that moment. There an the table lay HOur Responsibilities , quietly irresponsible, just where it had been laid by D11. Sculpin to be in readiness for his delivery. It took but a mnment to make, an exchange of papers. and then to make a flushed and smiling retreat. The girls all looked their admiration, and several who were in close enough contact with her gave her a heart-felt pinch. just to make her realize it was all true. But Nan sat. bewildered by many feelings. The applause which fol- lowed the close of Dr. Seulpink address finally brought her to the realiz- ation that her Coelmnenvement was over. Didnlt everything gn off beautifullle exclaimed Beth. after it was all over. HBut Nan was the success of the day. Without you it would have been spoiledf, And the girls all agreed that she was right. Long afterward. Nan made a very confidential confession to Beth. but she never told anyone else. not even Dr. Seulpin. who did so love a joke. ETHEL CROF-ny, yOT Normal THE PLAYGROUND MOVEMENT The organization of the Playground Assm'iatimi HI America indi- cates, .in no uncertain manner. the impossibility of keeping: separate socio- logical and educational problems. This association. whieh holds its first annual meeting in Chicago, June 20-22, was organized in Washington, D. 0., last April, in response to the demand for formal united action between the schools and the municipal governments. The following statements made by Mr. S. T. Stewart, in the pros- pectus 0f the association, serve well to indicate the purpose of the move- ment: ttEvery city should have its system of recreation centers, some for the youth and some for the adult population, some open during the day and some open during the evening. these latter including all of the public school buildings.H ttEaeh recreation center should be equipped with all the facilities and agencies appropriate to its special purpose in the general plan for educa- tional and sociological betterment of the individual, of the community, and of the particular environmentf, ' tiA system of playgrounds should he allied with a system of play- sehools, 01' so-called vacation schools. so that the energy developed in the playground shall be trained towards skill in the play iildustriesY, HA recreation center will save a city, if properly conducted, more than its cost of construction and maintenance in avoiding increased ex- penditures for departments of justice. police, prismm charities and cor- rections. it This is not mere thenry. Very large systems of playgrounds are being operated most successfully in some of our large cities at present, and it is hoped that. through the Playground Association, such systems will soon be established in all of our cities, both large and small. The officers of this organization are the men and women who have, in their several lines of earnest endeavor. done most, recently, for the im- pruvement of social conditions in our country. President Roosevelt. who is deeply interested in the playground move- ment is Honorary President, and Jacob Riis. the great Slum-Worker of New York. is Honorary Vice-President. The other officers are: Presi- dent. Dr. Luther Gulick. Director of'Physical Training. New York City Schools; First Viee-President. H. B. Maefarland, XVashington. D. 0.; Sec- ond Viee-President, J ane Addams, Hull H ouse. Chicago ; Third Viee-Presi- dent. Joseph Lee, leader of the play-ground movement of Boston and 0f the country at large; Chairman of the Executive Committee, S. T. Stew- art, District Superintendent of Schools. New York, and for many' years superintendent of the vacation schools and play-grmmds of that city. anhm. the city which has taken the initiative in so many important WHITE AND GOLD 51 movements in this country, was the first to provide public play-grounds for its children. In 1886, hearing of the sand piles kept in the parks of Berlin, the Emergency and Hygiene Association placed several heaps of sand in places available to the children. From this beginning the work grew and by 1900 there were twenty-one play-grounds carried on by this society. N otwithstanding the success of this work in Boston, play-grounds were not established elsewhere until nearly ten years later. Philadelphia was the first city to follow the example of Boston, Providence, R. 1., the second. and New York the third. Most of our cities are prompt to follow the lead of New York, and so the play-ground movement spread rapidly after it began in New York, and the work was zealously taken up during l9: and 99 in Chicago, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Den- wr and Washington. Experience has taught that there is nothing that the small child likes su well as to play in sand, hence the chief feature of each play-ground for small children is the sand-box. The sand-gardens in Boston have little express wagons, to which two children may be harnessed to drag about the babies as passengers, while other appropriate games are always pro- vided. The swings, which are provided, wherever space admits, seem to possess a perennial and extraordinary attraction. It has been found best to provide one large play-ground of from three to five acres for the boys of each district, reserving the school gar- dens for the girls and smaller children. In most of the larger play- gruunds, ample gymnastic apparatus is provided and trained physical in- structors placed in charge. Of the systems of recreation centers the South Park System of Chi- cago is the most nearly ideal. Two years ago this system received $4,000,- 0th for parks and play-grounds which has made it possible for it to so de- Yelup that it stands today as a municipal achievement, with scarcely an equal. Since Chicago has this wonderful play-ground system it has been selected as the meeting place of the convention. The workings of these twelve day and night, open and indoor play-grounds will be demonstrated fully to those in attendance. The convention proper cannot fail to prove most interesting and in- spiring, since the addresses are to be made by such leaders as Judge Ben Lindsay. Jane Addams, G. Stanley Hall. U. S. Commissioner E. E. Brown, Jnseph Lee. Dr. Gulick and others. It is hoped, and believed, that through this convention the play- ground movement will receive an impetus which will extend the work iiizii'vellously. GAIL COBERT, 07 Normal A DREAM I wander, wander into a vast nothingness. Around me is darkness, dreariness, desolation. Suddenly before me appears a light, and from the stillness a voice come drifting, saying faintly, tWVatch, and ye shall behold some WhO make up the endless tide of humanity, that is ever flowing on- ward to eternity. Watch, and ye shall behold your classmates of June 07, as they tread the pathway of lifefi Again all is darkness, dreariness. desolation. Silence reigns. I wait and watch. Again the light appears. and I see in its midst the form of a woman. Slowly it grows taller and taller, and broader and broader, until at seems to lill all space. Below it I read, iiThe Fat VVomanY, I look at the face, and exclaim excitedly. HMarie Stoker, you havent changed a bit since Normal daysfl I find myself before a large building surrounded by trees. I enter it. Girls seem to be everywhere. A prim, precise, middle-aged lady, with her iron grey hair parted and slicked down on either side of her face, advances to meet me. She says, HI am Miss Gail Colbert, principal of the National City Seminary for Young Ladies. Follow me.H A young woman with a cooking apron 0n comes up to me. Why, it is Pauline Black! She smiles at me and hands me something to eat. I take it and eat it. Immediately everything is black. I struggle to get out of the dark gulf that is enfold- ing me, but it is of no use. After years, it seems to me, I hear my name called and weakly I open my eyes. Dr. Madge Breen, the famous specialist for Dyspepsia, is bending over me. She sighs and says. itThat is the way her cooking affects all of themfi Again the scene changes and I hnd myself standing before a cottage. Around it are palm and banana trees, waving in the breeze. On the porch a woman is standing awaiting the approach of somebody. Closely I scan ' her face. Why it is dear old Flora Barber, teaching her school of one i pupil out in the Philippines! I am on a wharf watching the people surge back and forth across the I gang-plank. A hack comes dashing up the street, stops, and a very busi- ness like woman jumps out. As if by magic people stand aside and leave ' a clear pathway to the ship. Everybody bows with due reverence as she I passes by. Someone whispers in my ear, HMiss Emma George, the Europ- ean correspondent of the Tia Juana World, a wonderful woman, with a i wonderful mind. ,i K I seem to be drifting With a large crowd. I know not Where. Sudden- ly there appears before my eyes this sign, iiJoint Stars. Famous Peda- i gogue Band appearing with the Ramona Grand Opera Companyfi I pull out ten cents and soon find myself in a box seat. facing the stage. How ' many faces look familiar in that band! My attention is attracted to the ; WHITE AND GOLD 53 leader. Her gestures, her poses, everything reminds me of-why, of course, it is Ruth Pitman! There is Katherine Niccum playing the big horn, and that must be Alice Peter beating the big drum. And Alice Wal- lace, who would have ever thought of her as playing the bass Viol in a band? From amid the din of sounding horns and beating drums, I hear a deep base voice of remarkable volume. I consult my program. Here it is, itWorld Renowned Female Baritonee-Lutie Mimms.. My eye runs down the printed page. There is Gertrude Rieke, labeled the HVVorldis Greatest Ventriloquistf, HLeading soprano-Amy J ohnson . I always knew her voice would be her fortune some day. I stand bewildered among an array of show cases and bargain count- ers. I know not which way to turn. A brisk, well-groomed young woman steps up to me and says, HFirst aisle to the right for all-day suckers. That faceewell, Mabel Ellis! But I might have known she would be iioor walker in some store, seeing she received such good training as floor walk- er of the Senior Class. A large building looms up before me, with the word iiHospital writ- ten on it. I enter and a sweet-faced nurse comes up to me. I know it is Grace Bailey, for who else is so gentle and quiet. I am standing on a hill. Before me lies a vast expanse of desert. Across the burning sands come three figures. I see they are tired and fnot-sore. Nearer they come. One carries in her hand an umbrella, an- other a large coffee pot, the third a string of cups. The travellers give me one triumphant look as they pass and say, HWe have walked half way around the earth already? Who can the trio be but Imogene Stone, Sara Cleary, and Eulia Roberts? I am watching a game of tennis. The play is fast and igurious. Back and forth the ball goes. The crowds wait in breathless silence. Sudden- ly with a mighty yell. this cry is taken up, HHurrah for the tennis cham- pion 0f the world, Miss Olive Aultf, Excitedly, I ask whom she defeated. HMiss Creekmur, comes back the reply. I am in a large lecture hall. Some one arises from the platform, ad- vances towards the front, and begins to speak. I look about. Where is everybody? I am alone with the speaker. Her preliminary remarks are these. HI. Miss Ethel Crosby, stand before this assemblage demanding the rights of women. All my life I have spent in making noble and thrilling speeches for this most worthy cause.H With a sigh I turn and flee. These words, HThe Philanthropists of Today, greet my eyes. I read on. HThe Philanthropic Society of Old Town is engaged in a most bene- ticial work.

Something compels me to look in and I see Miss Laughlin busily at work. NI am making the parts of a house for- myself? she says, and blushes guiltily. I seem to be a part of a large body of students. We are sitting in a great hall. Every one stands up and begins to sing. I do likewise, mean- while trying to get a glimpse of the chorus director. I can hear her voice soaring above the others and it sounds very familiar to me, but I cant place it. At last I get a look at her face and if it isn,t Miss Ethel Lydiek! I am on a lonely, desolate island. A small ship is in sight. As it gets nearer and nearer, I see two women standing in the bow. They are no other than Hattie Jordan and Ula Chalmers, foreign missionaries for the Y. W. C. A., of the world. I am standing in a dance hall. I see a young, handsome woman sur- rounded by a bevy of young gentlemen. Who can it be? In tones of ad- miration, I hear these words, HMiss Sue Love, a young society bud 0f Fosters. Again a bright light appears, and a voice comes faintly from the distance, NYe have beheldII-With a gasp, I exclaim, ttThe boys, but where are the boys! ttBe patient, the voice says. I am walking along a country road. I stop at a building that looks like a church. I enter and see a man standing in the pulpit singing, uArt thou weary, I am not surprised. I had always thought of Chester Smith as: a minister. WHITE AND GOLD 55 I seem to be in the fashionable part of a large city. I enter a beauti- ful hall, which is filled with beautifully dressed young ladies, evidently taking dancing lessons. The teacher is Monsieur DeLa Wright, translated, Clayton Wight. Again all is darkness, dreariness, desolation. A light appears and a voice from the stillness drifts to me saying, tTYe have beheld some who make up the endless tide of humanity that is ever flowing onward t0 eter- nity.

VVormser Tennis has received a sudden spurt by reason of the fact that a chal- lenge was received from the girls who play up on the Bancroft courts, calling for six entries in a tennis tournament to be held the 13th. 14th and 15th of June. The challenge was accepted and a number of the girls went into the work with the determination to do something in that line and earn a few honors for the school. As an aid in choosing the entries for this tournament, one was held up at the school. Quite a number of en- thusiastic girls entered, and after many exciting games. the finals were played between Ada Cross and Pauline Black, Miss Cross winning by a a score of 6-4; 6-1. By this victory, Miss Cross became owner of a. splen- did new tennis racket. put up by Pres. Black for the champion in singles of the Normal School. Even if the honors are not received. those entering the Bancroft tournament will feel well repaid fer the work. as they are getting a good understanding of the game under the efficient direction of Mr. Crandall. In looking over the work accomplished in athletics during the past year we feel well satisfied with ourselves. Though we have done nothing startling in this line, still we have entered our games with a feeling of getting all the physical good out Of them that we can. of enjoying our- selves, and of leaving out the unhealthy spirit of rivalry that is so apt to exist among contesting teams. and have been benefited by doing so.
