Owing to the fact that it 11as decided that this edition of the 1X l11te and Gold should he put out without the assistance of ad1ertising. it was netessary to raise the price from twenty-fiye to fifty cents. ln spite of this increase. the number of subscriptions exceed even the sanguine hopes of the 1112111aqer.

L. Hardy. HE value of the Normal School is understood by the people and by administrative and legislative authorities in a general way, but its defin- ite value is neither very well known nor very well appreciated. In the first place. it has not been investigated and tested by the standards Ofa genuinely seientitic survey: but neither has any other partof the State school system been thus evaluated. There are, however, some rough and ready tests that may be applied, such as the support given normal schools by the State as compared with the support given other parts of the systemea test which would indicate the degree of public appreciation of the value of the normal school, and the test of the cost of producing a graduate of the normal school as Compared. for instance. with the cost of producing a high school or a university graduate. As to the first test. that of value as evidenced by public support. we have some definite and authoritative evidence. The lion. A. ll. Nye, State Con- troller, in his report dated Dec. 15. 1910. says: HFor many years the normal schools were about the least expensive of the public institutions, educational or otherwise ........ , but of late years they have increased their training school departments and introduced new courses entailing large expense for instructors and equipmentfl Nevertheless. in spite of the larger expense, the normal schools are still relatively less well supported than are the other parts of the school system. The statistics that follow taken from the reports of the State Controller and the Superintendent of Public Instruction. reveal the situation as it stood in the school year 1909-1910. PUBLIC SCHOOL COSTS. No. No. Total Cost Cost Per Cost Per Part of School System Enrolled Graduated For Support Pupil Enrolled Graduate Stale Normal Schools ........ 2,321 743 250,000 $107.70 $ 336.00 Elementary School .......... 322,361 17,632 13,674,314 42.42 775.00 High Schools ............... 39,115 2,525 2,900,000 74.14 1,148.00 State University ............. 3,860 479 970,000 251.30 2,025.00 NoteeThis comparative table is based on total support, whether local or State, which is the only fair basis, because the 101111 and sole revenue of the normal school is from the State. To make the comparison entirely fair, multiply the cost of producing, in the year selected. a normal school graduate by two tsince the normal school course is two years. one-half of that of the high school and the Universityl. and the resultingr figure. $672.00. stands at only a little more than half the cost of producing a high school graduate and at one-third the cost of produc- in;r a graduate of the University. And what of the value to the State of the normal school graduate produced at this relatively small cost to the people? The high school graduate is an unfinished non-teehnieally trained pro- duet. Abont 011e-half of the University graduates are neither professionally nor technically finished products. The normal school graduate is 21 Finished. technically available nrotluct. She is a product dedicated to state tsoeiah service. She is dedicated to this service and enters it tpraetically all graduates begin teaching immediatelyl. knowingy that she will receive a wage but little better than that of an unskilled laborer: but even this low wage renresents an annual valuation of her services to the State of more than twice the amount required to produce a graduate each year-aml her average term of service is four years. Certainly. then. there is no possibility of questioning the accuracy of the statement of Controller Nye with reference to the situation in 1910. Has there been any material change since 1910 as evidenced by public support. in the public estimate of the relative social value of the normal school. as the nourisher of the elementary school and elementary education. and of the University. as the nourisher of general social culture and efficiency? 18 At this writing the appropriations for the biennial Fiscal period. beginningr ' July 1, 1913, are not available; but we have something more revealing than legislative appropriations talways the product of a certain amount of compro- misei in the carefully planned budget of the State's financial officers. The budget of 1913 recommends in both general and special appropriations the sum approximately of $1,500,000 for the maintenance and improvement of the service and equipment of the seven State normal schools. The same report recommends as general and sneeial appropriations for the University the sum approximately of $1,200,000. to which must be added the revenues allotted to the University out of the proceeds of taxation. amounting to about $1,800,000, which would make the total revenue of the University for the coming biennium $3 000,000. in round numbers. or twice that of the com- bined normal schools of the State. Enrollment of students in the normal schools in 1911 was 3,047: in the l'niversity. 3.779. The figures for 1012 are not at hand; but. doubtless. they would show no relative changeethat is they would show an enrollment in the University about 25 per cent greater than that of the normal schools. not taking into account in the latter institu- tions their enrollment in the training schools. which would. in cost. more than offset the larger adult enrollment of the University. XVith all these facts in view, it is. doubtless. fair to say that the l'niversity is to receive for two years 100 per cent more for support than are the normal schools of the State. Now. no one of us hegrudges the L'niversity a dollar of its revenueswe wish the University to receive not less but more. Comparisons need not always be odious. If the comparison made above suggests anything. it sug- gests thisethat the University in its function of hroducimgr the higher aml staff otheers of the educational aml social army must he tremendously handi- capped in the inadequate nourishment of the army itself. In fact. we have this anomalous situation- -on the higher education side the L'niversity and high school producing at a very considerable cost highly trained omeers of society, while on the elementary education side. we have the normal school and the elementary school representingr the junior theers aml the social army in a comparative state of neglect and inefficiency. I know that society must, as one of its final aims. produce its belle tlenr. 'and that the University man or woman is oftenest. in our social and civic life. this very flower-hut would not a richer soil. the truly well-nonrished and scientifically-cultivated garden of a better elementary school. make possible the production of a finer. fairer flower? The time has come for a Change of nolicy. The new noliey should recog- nize the normal school as a most valuable part of the state school system. What is written above represents in the main a presentation of the needs 01' the normal school made to the State's financial oFlieers. in Decem- her. 1912. The response to this appeal by the loard of Control. the State Controller. and the State Legislature. was instant and most generous in recognition of the situation. The budget of this institution was materially increased. especially in the item of salaries .aml the other normal schools received generous increases in their annropriations. Yet. as is shown also in what is written, relatively the elementary school situation as renresentetl by the normal school was not much inmrovetl. The makers of the budget did their best. but they were handicaonetl hy the static condition of a society held in the iron grin of social waste and vice. Our otlicers of finance. able and a'mreciatix'e as they are. cannot put us firmly on our feet in the math of true nroqress until we have first shaken ofT the burden entailed by our social and economic wastes. XVhen society spends less for alcohol and in war. then only will the items of the budget serve as the indicia of a genuinelv civilized man's annreciation of the supreme importance of elementary education as the foundation of all civil- ization. and as the soil out of which all its finest flowers must spring. 19 Hy Edith Strong HR day was intensely hot. with scarcely 21 hreztth uf wind.

The imagination helped one tn feel its cnulness until the eye wandered hack to the tlry and dusty valley directly below. in which were clustered the zulnhe buildings. , A man appeared suddenly from behind a grunp of trees. which screened at seenntl luner line of adobe houses. He was a tall, gaunt person. dressed in the long black ruhes of a priest. He walked slowly. with the air of one who is in deep meditation. Uniting tn the larger 21ml main group of lllllltlA ings. he opened the gate and erussetl the yard within. Entering through the tlunr of the nearest building, he passed intu a long dark hall. the blackness anti coolness ml which emttrastetlpleasantly with the glare of the heat unt- sitle.

Passing along in the shadow of the eolonnatle for a short distance, he turned abruptly into the burning heat of the garden and walked down a little path until he came to a small group of trees. He stopped in their shade. A small lntlian boy was lying on the Ground. Though his back was turned and he was apparently asleep, yet the slight sound of Padre Nipero's tread caught his ear. and instantly he was on his feet. He smiled as he saw that it was the priest. llis bright, black eyes, always eager and restless. glanced at the man, l1eyoml him to the adobe buildings, and back to the priest again. The boy seemed to understand that something was wrong; uCan I help you, father? he said. No, Nipo. I am only a little tired this afternoon. I will feel better in the evening, perhaps? jut the boy answered quickly: No, father, it is the Indians again. I know. because I saw you leave the court an hour ago, and now you are returningeantl I will help you if I can. Padre Nipero smiled a little. Does nothing ev er escape your eves, Xipo. 3 he said. llYes, the Indians are somewhat restless this afternoon but I trust it is only the heat of the day. If I have any errands later. I will call you. Nipo. With that the Padre went on through the court and passed again into the building. The room he entered was a long. rather narrow one. The walls were of white-washed adobe. as were those of all the rooms on the place. Heavy oaken beams supported the ceiling. The windows, of which there were only two, .one on the outside and the other on the interior court. were narrow and tleep-set. Iron l1ars protected the outer window. A long oak table stood in the center of the room; around it were placed several chairs. A few loose pieces of paper and a quill pen or two lay on the table. Outtlie wall was a small shelf containingr a few books. This room was evidently the meeting room and library. Padre Nipero seated himself at the 10110 table and gazed absentlv out of the window into the court. He was thinking now of Xipo and uncon- sciously speaking to himself. uHe is a good ehiltl. always willing and ready to help me. He has been of use to me many a time with the lntlians when they have been troublesome. I-Iis quick eyes see everything. and his ears are always listening. Somehow, I seem to have won the boy to me; he pays but little attention to the rest of the brothers, although they are all friendly with him. int he is as faithful as a shepherd dog to me. I believe he would actually lay down his life for me, so devoted he seemsfi The father sat long in his chair. gazing out of the window. His brow grew troubled In his pondering over the greater question of his restless Indian subjects he forgot Nipo. T-he little Indian village lav beyond the clump of trees that skirted the road several hundred yards from the last of the cluster of adobe buildings which formed the home of the padres. The Spanish brothers had built this mission, in ortler to eix'ilize aml ehristianize the natives of the wilderness. Sometimes the ueophytes grew restless under the strict. though kintl. rule of the fathers. Several times in the history of the mission there had been uprisings, and once bloodshed had resulted. tut that had been a long time before. For some years now the neophytes had done no more than to grum- ble and mutter among themselves, and sometimes become sullen in their attitude towards the fathers. It was on - those occasions when an insuhordinate Indian, refused to work that Nipo had been of help to Padre Nipero', the leader of the brothers at the mission. For Nipo' was a favorite of the Indians as well as of the white men. He could coax a rebellious neophyte to work again. when the efforts of the l u padres seemed useless. Thus Nipo had become a valuable aid to Padre Nipero; and whenever the father commanded, the boy obeyed unques- tioningly. But while the padre sat long at the table, gazing absently out of the window and thinking of the restless Indians, Nipo sat under the palm trees, thinking of what he could do to help his beloved master. He knew that something,r must be wrong with the Indians. and he decided to go down to the village and try to pacify them. The resolution formed. he jumped quickly to his feet. and passed tlown the court. He stopped a moment as he came to the little fountain in the eenter; it was a wishingr fountain. Several trees growing beside it threw a little shade upon the water, taking fronts. portion of it the brilliant glare of the reHeetetl sun. Nipo stopped in the shade, and. picking up a pebble. stood looking; down into the water. Then, throwing the pebble into the fountain, he made his wish. watched until the little stone sank out of sight into the depths. amt. turning away, hurried rapidly through the court and into the house. Outside the sun still shone warmly down. Hut the heat was growing less intense. There was now the faintest hint of a breeze: enough to tantalize. not to satisfy. Hut even this was better than the terrible heat of the noon- tlay. for it gave promise of something better. The day was beginning to wane. During the lady afternoon. the mission had seemed almost deserted; but now signs of life began to appear. As sunset approached, odors of the evening in tal in preparation came from the adobe kitchen at the farthest eml of the patio. 'lihe neophytes were seen going back and forth among their houses. Small groups of them came up to the mission with bowls in their hands. to have their portions measured out to them. Several padres. appearing from various rooms. eame slowly out into the court, crossed it. and entered the long low room which served as a refeetory. They, tom wer . assemblingr for the evening meal. But as yet it was a little early. From the top of the chapel at one end of the court, the clear tones of a bell sounded. tVithin the chapel. one of fathers was kneeling at the altar. Above him was a window of stained glass. brought carefully from Spain. Through its panes the rays of the setting sun tiiekercd, throwing,r a crimson light upon the altar and upon the kneeling figure. Save for this stream of light. the chapel was dark. Slowly, other dim figures of padres came in and knelt silently lint one by one they left. and still the one on whom the sutfs last rays fell knelt there by the altar with bowed head. The others had gone silently: they did not wish to disturb their master, Padre Nipero. hit Nipo, who had come with them, did not leave. Long he waited, but the father did not move: the crimson rays vanished. and the shadows deepened until. in the gloom of the chapel. objects became indistinguishable. Then Padre Nipero arose and passed down to the door. Looking back, he saw a figure kneeling at the altar: it was Nipo who had glided down from the far dark corner of the room. and knelt at the spot front which the master had just arose. Padre Xipero recognized him. even in the dusk. Somehow the fancy Hittetl through his mind that Nipo had been watchingr over him while he prayed, and was now oHering a prayer for other Help in guarding his master. HPoor boy, the padre murmured. he is faithful. His is true devotion. And well might the father say this. The air was now cool and refreshing. Night had brought with it a release from the bondage of the day's heat. A fresh. soft breeze was blowingr gently through the palm trees of the court. As the night deepened. the moon. full-eireled and brilliant. slowly rose above the tiled roofs of the build- ing's. It threw its light upon the wishing fountain. silvering it as if by magic. while the breeze playfully rntified the shining surface. iTacefulness and quiet pervaded everything. l l l The padres of the mission, and the neophytes in their village, had gath- ered into little groups. and were quietly enjoying the beauty of the evening. The palms of the court waved softly, like whispers in the night air. From somewhere in the shadows of the corridors, the plaintive notes of a stringed instrument sounded. The padres smiled; it was Nipo. They had intrusted the precious instrument brought from Spain into his hands, and he had learned to play it, and to love it, almost next to his master, Padre Nipero. As the night advanced the people gradually left the court, and went indoors. Finally, only Nipo and Padre Xipero were left. The latteris face was serene now; the lines of care and anxiety had vanished. He had been down again in the evening to see the Indians. and they had seemed perfectly peaceful and contented. They had regained their former attitude of friendliness, just as they had done so many times before. All was well again. Nipo, creeping up to the father, read this in his face. But Nipo. with the suspicious and alert nature .of the Indian, wished to make certain for himself. So he silently left the master and disappeared from the court. Outside of the wall that surrounded the mission, he took the road that led down to the group of adobe houses where the Indians lived. Padre Nipero still sat in the moonlight. which was shining brilliantly down into the Patio. Finally. rousing himself. he got up and went down along the corridor to the door of his private study. He entered the room, similar in construction to all the other rooms. save for its smaller size, and for the shelves along one side containing books. These were at the farthest end of the room, and beneath them was a table, on which burned a small lamp. tieside the table was placed a single chair. Such was the study of the father of the mission. Padre Nipero sat tlUVVll at the table, and pickingr 11p a quill, hastily began to write. There was important business which must be attended to before the night closed. Long he sat at the table. The room was in utter silence save for the scratching of the pen upon the paper. Outside, no sound broke the stillness, nor marred the beauty of the night. There was no sound. hit a little figure sat rigidly still in the shadow of a column. dividing his attention between the door of his master's study and a dark object by a clump of bushes at the far end of the court. That silent figure was Nipo. He had been down to the Indian Village. and all had seemed quiet enough. lut his observing eyes had missed one of the neophytes, who was a leader in their rebellions. As all of them, with the exception of Nipo, and a few other trusty ones, were locked out of the mission proper after nightfall, they were supposed to be in their own village. Nipo searched everywhere, but could not find the missingr lndian. Coming back and beingr admitted by the trusted Indian, who guarded the oaken gates of the wall. he remained for a time in the court. He was think- ing deeply, for he feared something was wrong. And so it happened that his quick eye. lrmking' over the garden. had caught an almost imperceptible movement in a dark clump of bushes at some distance down the court. llis suspicions aroused. he sat watching the dark shapeless object. now and then glancing at the dim light which shone from the partly open door of his masteris study. If that dark object should prove to be the missing Indian, his master was probably in great danger. XYhatever the shapeless form was. it was nearer his master's study than he was. it would be necessary for him to creep around the corridor in the shade. and then dash across the moon-lit space of the court before he could reach the room. Just then there was a slight movement in the bushes. aml in the fraev tion of a second. Nino saw a face appear and disappear. It was the Indian. creeping toward Padre Niperds door. What should Nipo do? He must save his master If he should cry out in warning. the Tndians, who might be waiting for such a signal. would break into the mission and massacre the inhabitants. For Nipo understood that the 23 peacefulness in the village was but assumed. and that beneath it smouldered the desire for revenge. only awaiting an occasion to break forth. They wished to kill Padre Xipem, for it was he who made them work unwillingly. They would be content with his death alone. but if occasion arose. they would not hesitate to take more lives.

And so. in the calm, still night. the friend and the foe 0f the master crept nearer. while he sat busily writing, unconscious 0f danger. XVhen Nipn reached the edge of the protecting shadow, he brushed against a bush. and the sound attracted the attention of the Indian. Turning, he spied Nipo, who at the same instant darted across the moon-lit space. But the Indian, quick as a flash. sprang after him. Nipn reached the study dour just in time to feel a cold knife hlade touch his shoulder. Bounding into the room, and gasping the word Master he fell down at the fathers feet as the Indiaifs knife struck into him. Padre Xipem sprang up and instantly pulled a heavy cord which hung beside him. Immediately a deep sound broke upon the stillness 0f the night. The Indian. having,r recovered his knife. was standingr with it poised for another blow. but the sound of the bell startled his superstitious nature: he hesitated, and was lost. For in that fraction of a second, Nipo. wnunded as he was. sprang to his feet. and snatched the knife, and then the padres came rushing into the mom. The bell was Nipem's signal of danger. and the men came in with drawn swords. more like soldiers than peaceful padres.

By Alberta Filson Watson. CHAPTER I. ILLY came to sehuol two years late. It is an awful thing in llelleview School to be two minutes late; but two years late! what could Billy expect? One glance at the lirst grade teacher told him to expect nothing; his dealings with erabbetl old cow punchers and surly Pima chiefs had taught him not to expect things of people with frowns like hers. The teacher on her part looked at Billy and expected trouble. In the first place, he was two years too old for that grade; in the second place, he was as awkward and restless as a lmlg-earetl colt. llis eight years of life had been spent cracking the long blacksnakes and throwing his lariat in imitation of the cowboys at the mund-up. XYhat had he to th with schools and women? But now the ranch was gone and his father was gone, and his mother had come with him to this far-away California city to live. So here he was in the red brick school-house. He wished he were back home, on the wild eolt's back, or even in the corral with the long-lmrned steers, instead of here before this big woman with the frown; but here he was and here he had to stay. As soon as all the children were in their places, the teacher called nAtten- tion! ' Then she rapped with her pencil and looked straight at Billy. Billy. not knowing what else to do, looked straight back at the teacher. She frowned still more deeply and bore down upon him. Stooping over, she seized his hands and folded them on the edge of the desk, and planted his feet upon the floor under his desk as if she were screwing him down. That is position? she told him. Glancing around Billy saw forty pairs of hands folded on forty desk- tops, and forty pairs of feet planted under the desks in the, same screwed- down position. Forty rigid backs held forty rigid heads upright, and liilly tried to make his back stiff and his head rigid also. Thus he sat and waited. He tried very hard to listen to what the teacher was saying. but it took all of his mind to think of his hands and legs. lle hatl to think very hard about them to keep them still. All his hard little muscles were twitching and crawling under his skin. Those stout arms were used to twirling the long lasso and snapping the leaded whips; those sinewy legs were used to striding the bucking calves and running wild 0n the mesas. Never before hatl llilly been called upon to keep still, and he had to think very hard about his hands and feet. to keep them just as the teacher had put them. The very toes he thought hardest about squirmetl and cried loudest to turn up and wiggle. He fastened his mind on the most refractory leg. but the more he thuught about it the more it wanted to move. Creepy sensations began to wriggle up and down it, crawling and squirming into his very bones. lvhen he could no longer stand the itching, he seized the opportunity to stretch out his legs. while the teacher was writingr 0n the blackboard. She whirled amuml and glared at him and Billy was firmly convinced that she saw out of the back of her head. For a while he kept himself busy trying to figure out how she managed it; but after a time his eyes fell to his folded hands, and immediately thuse interlaced fiingers took a frantic notion to spread themselves. Then his arms began to burn and itch, and his elbow joint gnawed to be straightened out. The teacher was reading, and only the twp of her head was visible as i she pored over the page on her desk. Again to relieve his wretched body. Billy risked her frown. He slid away down in his seat and spread out his -legs and stretched his arms. The teachers voice stopped with a jolt, as if it had been jammed back into her mouth. The next instant she had him by 25 the shoulders. She jerked him into place and then shook him hard. Billy was fearfully frightened that time. After a while he became used to teachers, as he had got used to long-horned steers on the prairie; but the teachers never got used to Billy. with his penchant for squirming and doing things. That first year, or I might say that first day, Iilly became known as a naughty boy; the next year he was known as a bad boy; and after that he himself knew that he was had and was proud of his badness. Many things are found and lost at the red brick school. 3illy found his reputation there that first day, but he never lost it: it clung to him in the strange adhesive way of reputations. and as he passed along his reputation went along with him as his shadow did. sometimes poking far out in advance. sometimes trailing- behind, but always with him. CHAP'IIIER 11. At thirteen Hilly was promoted to the sixth grade. He was tired of pun- ishments and corrections and had made up his mind to do better. In a few days, however, he decided that it was no use-his reputation had been pro- moted before he was. Every time the class laughed or anything unusual happened the teacher pounced on him. He gave up trying. and lapsed hack into his old troublesome ways. One day Billy was kept in at recess for sticking gum in the Italian g'irlIs hair. The teacher was very cross. IISharpen these lead pencils. she said. for punishment, and see that you dmft get any litter on the Hoorf' She opened the little white box to hand him her pearl handled knife, Hlt is gone. she said. looking; sharply at liilly. u.Do you know where it is? Hilly eyed the box. IINO, I doift know, but maybe Sam does.' ttDid you see him take it? ItNope? tIDid you see him have it ? IINope. uThen how do you know that he has it? III don't know it, but you just ask him. That afternoon Miss Maine did ask Sam, and his face grew very red as he dug down into his pocket and produced the knife. After school Miss Maine did not keep Sam, but took her vengeance out on Dilly. IVilliam, she said, Ithow does it happen that you always know where everything that is lost or stolen has goneim Just figger it out, said Billy. WYell, how did you figure out that Sam had my knife? t'Easyf said Bill. IILook at that dauh of red on the lid of the knife hox. Sam cut his finger at noon and came up here to get a rag and a piece of string out of your drawer, so I knowed that he was in hereathen when I seen this red I says to myself. ISamIS the boy with the knifef I, HVViIliam, said Miss Maine, you are a regular sleuthf A what ? asked Bill. He was used to being called names. but this was a new one. tII mean a detective. ' explained Miss Maine. IT311. said Bill, and puffed out his chest. From this time on his reputa- tion for finding things increased and went along with his reputation for hadness. and was a thing to he gloated over and bragged about. One day the boy in front of him knocked IIillyIs pencil box on the Hoor. HXVilliam. what are you doing? snapped his teacher. Not a darn thing? muttered XVilliam, under his breath. Int Miss Maine's sharp ear caught it and she washed his mouth out with soap and brush. and told him he had said a very dreadful word. 26 . ?NWT That night after supper llilly told the boys all about it as they sat on the garbage pails iu the alley. Yep, fellers, he said, she scrubbed my mouth for saying ldarn'; but thatls just her itlea. Everybody's got funny ideas about what's bad and what ainit. Miss Maine thinks 'tlarn' is bad, and ma thinks it ain't. My ma thinks tdam, is bad, and steptlatl he thinks it ain't. Gee! tellers, don t it make you want to bust out and th somethin' fierce when an old hen sticks around sayino; 'ain't he turrible,' and ain't it awful'? Bill paused and thrust his hands into his pockets. He pulled out a bagr of Bull Durham tobacco and rolled a cigarette, while his audience looked on admiringly. ul'lere,s to Miss Maine, and her whoppin lies, he saitl, theatrically. t'I'm goiif to smoke. to show you tobacco won't make a guy tllC in a ht, like she said it would. Does she suppose w , ain't got eyes? Don't we see hun- dreds of men smokin' right along, aml not much bothered with frothing at the mouth? . tl lut you'll get a cancer on your tongue if you smoke long. said the lit- tlest boy. Then I'm going to smoke long to show you she's a liar. said Ilill. Aml with that the boys disbanded for the night. Hilly became a habitual smoker. and the more he smoked the more he wanted to smoke. until at last he smoked almost as much as he swore. I le grew to like the taste of the tobacco way down in his lungs. After a while the twinkle dial in his eyes, and his tleportment went up aml his grade marks went down. The soothing tobacco was deadeningr his activity and curbing his penchant for mischief. A number of things had been lost lately that he could not timl. aml he had failed in the arithmetic examination. llilly realized that his fame aml his powers were slipping from him, but he never thought of tobacco. Miss Maine had men- tioned none of these effects. XYhat use to tell ehiltlren of slow ordinary results? of course they believed ex'erything. and the more drastic the dose the more effective the cure. Tell them the startlingathe one in a million phe- nomenonathat was Miss Maine's way; but it had not worked out with Hilly. CHAPTER III. The first morning of school after llilly was promoted to the eighth grade he came in five minutes late, as usual. and scrutinized the new teacher. She was a big, angular womam with antagonizing corners of righteousness stick- ing out all over her. lilly scrutinized her as he came in and was sorry he had been promoted. Then he looked at the girl across the aisle and was glad. in spite of Miss Maxwell. the teacher. It was the first time he had ever really looked at a girl. and now there was nothing else that he could make himself look at. She was a slim girl with wistful blue eyes and a fuzz of light hair that made a halo around her face. lilly listened intently as Miss Maxwell called the roll. The girl answered as she called Elaine. and llilly was glad she had spoken. for it made her seem more real and less like an angel in a picture. Most of Billyis time was spent watching,r Elaine. and most of Elaine's time was spent reading story books behind her text books. or dreaming- out of the window. One day she looked up from her story and s1 might across at Billy. She had been reading about a Splelltlltl lover. aml was xx'omlering how it would seem to have one. Her eyes fell on Billy. All the other boys were shorter than she was and she couldn't even imagine them into princes 0r lovers. Fancy a lover that one would have to stoop to kiss! lilly was tall and he had wavy hair and he didn't have frecklesaso her eyes fell again on Billy. Just then Billy looked at her. and a deep scarlet Ilyetl her face: then scarlet dyed his face. totx and they both looked away. Later that same tlay lilly forgot to take his Singing-lmok ta the music 27 room. He turned around to look on Elaiuels book, anal her hand accidentally touched his as she turned a page. After that he eouhl not keep the place; the teacher called on him to sing, but his face grew red. and his voice was husky and would not sing. That night he walked home with Elaine and carried her books; and it was enough for him that her haml touched his as he handed her the books at the gate. It was then that he resolved to quit smoking. Elaine was such a nice girl that she never could like a boy that smoked and swore, he thought. So he quit smoking and swearing that same day. Sometimes he had to shut his teeth on a cuss word half out or a cigarette half in. then men on the cars blew smoke in his fact he was frenzied. hWhen a felleris hungry. he told the boys, he's only hungry in his stomach, but when he's hungry for a smoke he's hungry all over. One Friday evening he met Elaine coming home from an errand just as it was growing dark. Together they walked untxl they came to the familiar sehool-house steps. As if from force of habit he turned up the steps. and she went up almost unthinkingly beside him. On the top step in the great shadowy entrance they sat down. For a while they looked at the sky, and traced patterns in the clouds. Then they listened to the night birds and talked of the things they had learned about birds in the nature study class, until in the darkness his hand touched hers: then they talked no more. Suddenly a step reverberated on the stairway aml Miss Maxwell's piercing voice cut through the moonlight. Puppy lovel', she ejaculated. For shame! To be eaught lllltltllCtl upon a dark door step like a pair of monkeys at the Chutes! Puppy love! Monkeys in the Chutes! Something sacred went to smash inside of him. as God had gone to smash when his mother had married Tim O'Hara, the infidel. Elaine sat all the while crying, with her face in her hands, but William was sullen and defiant, and all the bitterness of Miss Maxwellls words sank into his heart. At last Miss Maim e11 shook Elaine. hCome with me,n she said. I am going to my room to get some reports which I forgot; then I am going to take you to your mother. Elaine dutifully rose to her feet and followed Miss Maxwell t0 the door of the school-house. Miss Maxwell took out her pass key and they went in. It seemed a long time to XVilliam before they came out. then they did. he sat as they had left him. and Elaine was still crying. As she passed him he wanted to say goodbye, but something choked his voice. and he sat there and watched them disappear. The next day he was in school and Miss Maxwell was in school, but Elaine was not. One of the girls told him at noon that she had been sent to the convent. His face went red before the eyes of the girl, as itghad done when Miss Maxwellls icy stare fell upon him in class One of the newsboys with whom he sold papers after school came up to him on the corner and saw that something was wrong with him. llXVhat's your groueh. kid? ' he said. slapping him on the shoulder. than a cigarette and brace up. Billy had almost lost his taste for tobacco, but he took the cigarette and it helped him to forget. lle plunged into abandoned excess after his long period of abstinence. Along about the middle of the term a diamond aplrareti on Miss Max- wellls finger. The whole eighth grade was in excitement. The girls giggled and whispered about it. and the boys talked it over in the basement. llGosht tellers, he must be a rich guy to give her a swell diamond like that. I bet it cost moreln a inotoreycle, said Rey. ltlle must be brave to tackle a jay-faeetl school teacher like herfl said Frank. Hl donlt care if he's a rich man or a brave one. or both-Tlni sorry for the poor son of a gun when he gets her, said Hilly. 28 nWilliam Trenton ! ' ser tamed a voice from the doorway. Every boy stopped dead in his tracks. One had his foot in air and dared not put it down. llWilliam Trenton. report to 'llrofessor Snyder, screamed the voice. and Billy alone moved. Sullenly he began to climb the stairs, and Miss Maxwell climbed after him. llVVilliam, said Miss Maxwell in the ofliee, lttell Professor Snyder the awful word I heard you use in the basement just now? l'Son of a gun. said Hilly. Professor Snyder looked as pro'ierly shocked as he could, being a man and not an old maid: then he turned to Billy. WVilliamf' he said. you have been a nuisance ever since you First came to school, and you have given Miss Maxwell so much trouble that I am going to send you into the uugraded room. If you can't get on better there. you will have to leave schoolf, So it came about that XYillian Trenton was passed along to the uugraded room and to Miss Barnes. CHAPTER IV. Miss Barnes was short and thick, bubbling,r over with strength and good nature. She was neither pretty nor plain, but just common and everyday and freekletl. Her hair was combed back carelessly from a side part. and her face was always flushed like a boys when he has been running. Her eyes were gray and laughed always behind the gold rimmed glasses. Billy looked up at her. when he got into the ungraded room. and decided that he liked her in spite Of the fact that she was a teacher. From the start Billy liked Miss Barnes and Miss Barnes liked Billy. But just as she was beginning to feel that she had got hold of him, Mr. Snyder brought him in to her for stealing an apple from a fruit stand across the street. Sit down, iVill. said Miss Barnes. after Professor Snyder had gone out. lilly liked the way she said ttXVill. instead of ilXVilliam. But her casual manner unnerved him. Hitherto he had always faced punishment defiantly and with a swagger. but Miss Rarues's attitude was new. Plainly she was not shocked and could not be shocked; what use then for bravado and nonchalauce? Obetliently he sat down. and put the big red apple on the table in front of her. It is a beauty,u said Miss Barnes. liaml l know just how you felt when you saw it. I was a little girl once. But we have to think of the other fellow in this world, or it's a sure thing: that he wonit think of us. A long time ago men decided to let other peonle's things alone. You see if they had decided that each man should take what he wanted. why no one eouhl own anything unless he stood guard over it to fight for it. It would have been fair enough. but think what a confusion there would have been all the time. Dotft you see why it is wrong to take things that belong to someone else? l believe that you do, Billy. because you are a sensible boy. and you will think about it, and you won't take things after this. It was a new exoerienee to Billy. Someone believed in him$didnit think he was different from other people. His lip quiveretl. but he looked straight into Miss Rarnesls eyes. liMiss Barnes, if you can it'lrg'Ct about this. I ll never steal llUtllill, aqaina neverlil Truth was in his voice. and Miss Barnes took his hand. lll have already forgotten it. XVill: go down and play.

As he stooped over the fountain, somethingr 1111 the second wash basin caught his eye. Ile gave a start and turned the water on with such force that it's ie1' jet went straiUht into his ear. His head rang as he jerked back but his eyes 11e1' er left the spot on which they were glued. Still 1laze1l with the pain in his ear. and shaking the water out as he went. he made his way toward the second basin. Instinct- i11el1' his hand went out and clasped over something,r hanging on the liquid soap jar.

A blackness and dizziness went 1,11'erl1im. He held the ring out toward the liquid soap jar, but he couldn't make it leave his fiingers. lt stuck and clung to them. Ile tried to put it back where he found it, but it wouldnlt let go. A step clattered on the stair. Ilollow emotiness shi1'ere1l down to the pit of his stomach as if he were 1lr11'111i11g'. Suddenly he knew that he did not want to take the ring: but it was in his hand. and he must do something with it. Frantically his eyes searched the room. They fell on an 11111 boxing; glove lyingr in the corner. A tiny place was ripped. Into this he thrust the gleaming stone. and pushed it far in between the folds of cotton stufhng. Then he bent again over the fountain to drink. The door opened. It was only one of the younger boys 'lill1' felt relieved. lliat afternoon consternation reigned in the lelle1iew School. Miss Maxw ell was in hysteries: she had been on duty in the boys play-g'rouml that 11111111. and remembered taking 11tif her ring; to wash her hands in the boys' basement. She thought that she had put it on again. but was not certain. The only thing she was certain about was that the ring was lost. either in the basement or 1111 the play- n'1'1111111l. Every boy was questioned and searched but nothing,r eame of it. llilly was heartily sick of the whole matter but he had to keep up his blutT. lle 11ishe1l he could get the ring out and lose it where it would be found. lie wished a thousand things to get rid of it. but could plan 1111 way of producing it without being caught.

He went over to the boxingr glow and thrust his forefinger in 30 at the rip. Round and round he punehed-he held his hreath-it was gone! A chill passed over him. Some one had found it; he was caught! Again he thrust his finger into the stuffing and jabhed nervously among its folds. Perspiration stood out on his forehead. At last he struck something! Was it the ring or only the inside burr of the clasp? Slowly he worked it out of the rent. It tumbled into his handsthe diamondssafe. He drew a long breath and thrust the ring into his pocket and rolled it into the mud ball. Then he went out fearlesslyeeven if someone searched him, would a ttdobe hall look like a diamond? As a ruse he ran up to one of the boys on the grounds. snatched his cap. and ran with it. The boy gave chase and others followed. XVhen Billy was far ahead of the others he put his hand into his pocket and drew out the mud ball. Unobtrusively he let it fall to the ground. and it rolled off by the fence. The next time around Billy kicked that infinitesimal elod of mud. and it flew down the path and broke into pieces. There was a flash in the sunlight. tll've found it! yelled llilly. A half dozen boys saw the Hash. Miss Maxwell's diamond l they yelled in ehorus. iilly clutched the ring, and wild with excitement the boys bombarded the school-house. Professor Snyder appeared in the doorway. Miss Maxwell rushed out and others followed, among them Miss Barnes. Hilly presented the ring to Miss Maxwell. The boys explained the finding of it. and Miss Maxwell grudgingly parted with the promised $20. tlSneak thief; he had it all the time,' she muttered as she turned away. Miss Barnes heard her. and it made her feel very unhappy and discour- aged. She liked Billy and had thought she was getting hold of him, but it might be otherwise. Perhaps after all Miss Maxwell was right Perhaps Billy was laughing at her and calling her easyf She must think of a new way of dealing with him. Ile should not find her so easy after this! C H A PTER V . The very next day Hilly was late. It was the fifth time that month. Miss Barnes wondered if he was testing her. lttrying' her out. to see how far he could go. The thought angered her and she turned to him with a new look in her face. ttW'illiain, she said. sternly. chis is the Fifth time you have been late. You have ruined our class record. ll'e will lost our half holiday on account of you. Every eye in the room was fixed reproaehfully upon Billy. and he cringed from them as much as from Miss Barnesis altered voice and manner. nIt must he stopped. she went on. lllf you are late again. I shall send you home to stay until you get an excuse. Now remember! Billy hung his head and slid into his seat. The next morning Killy's mother was late with the breakfast. as usual. Billy looked longingly at the hot cakes on the griddle as he bolted the half sour trial cake with a gulp of black coffee. Gee, ma. I would like another. but T just got to get there on time. Miss Barnes is mad. She's going to send me home for an excuse if Ilm ever late again. I do hate to have Miss Barnes madfi So saying Billy snatched his coat and can and ran out the back door. A great red rose hung over the hack fence. Miss Barnes liked red roses. He would take it to her and perhaps she would smile at him again. He swung himself up on the fence and oulled the rose. Hi, you ! piped a shrill voice from an upstairs window, and looking- up Billy saw old Grandpa XVilliams peering down upon him. Billy slid down in such haste that his arms and hands were fllled with 31 thorns. but still clinging to the rose he dodged out alone the walk and caught the ear. XII the 11ay up the lone hiIl he busied himself Itieking out the thorns. Suddenly the ear stopped with such abruptuess that IIiIIy jabbed his pen- kniIes-thoru and alleclear through the thick skin in the palm of his hand. Through many agonizing minutes they stood there. For a while Billy sat tensely, pushing his feet against the seat in front of him. then he jumped up and ran outside. One of the boys from his class climbed off the front end of the ear. IIey Bill I, he said Hlet play hookey; they're easier on absentees. No I said II ill.. I 1e got to yet there. and with that he broke into a run. It 11 as nearlv a mile to the school but IIiIIV took it at break- neck speed He came up to the entrance just as the last line filed in. He would ha1e turned and escaped if the principal s eye had not been upon him. As it was he climbed the stairs panting for breath. and opened Miss IIarnesIS door. She turned to him. exasperated by his seeming defiance. uGo. she said. pointing to the door. IIGo. and dont come back until you have an excusefI IIiIIy opened his mouth to speak. Ith, said Miss Barnes. IIvou have made excuses often enough. I do not wish to hear from you. Go! He went. but in passingr he awkwardly drowned the red rose on her desk. For a moment something caught at her heart and she relented: but her word had been smoken. and it must stand. He stumbled out. a mist blindingr his eyes and a choke in his throat. There was a cry somewhere inside of him. but being a boy he held it back and let it hurt. IYhen he reached home he was greeted bv his steo-fathcr, who. being out of work. had no other occupation than tliseioliniug his family.

I reckon Hab'll find his guld all right. today, drawletl Rusty liill. as he shoved the last one of a box of shining new car- tridges into his belt. Halbert Shaw quickly turned his face away. lest the boys should see the deep Hush that dyed his face aml throat. He felt a sudden desire to seize Rusty Bill and pummel him to within an inch of his life. tYhy would the boys continue to make a jest of his great ambition, his dream of discm'ering gold? XVhen he turned to mount his horse and ride away with the nthers. two firm lines had settled about the corners of his mouth. He had came to California to find gold, and he was going to show the boys that he could do it. Halbert Shaw had drifted into Happy Camp in the late spring. lYith his health threatened from elnse eonlinement at office work. he had come west to live in the open air; but secretly he cherished a desire to fiml some of the precious gold that had made Lalifnrnia famous. He had a sunny dis'msitiim and a keen sense of humor. which soon won for him many friends among the cowboys 011 the ranch. It is true that during the two months of the uround- up season, he had been the subject for must of the jokes. but he seemed tn care very little. He had silently watched and learned. He could now roll a cigarette 0r thmw his lasso as deftly as Rusty lill himself. He had even acquired that slow lounging walk and the slouch of hat and shoulder which are peculiar to cowboys. These acquired habits now stood him in gnml stead for as he rude away none but an exnerienced eve could tell that he hatl heard the jest Rusty Bill howex er had noticed those new lines about llab s mouth and he smiled a dreamy smile. llRiding fence was a tiresome job. ll hy nnt have a little fun out of it? The five cowboys that made up the fenee-memling party turned their horses northward through a gap between the hills. The August sun was not yet high enough to drive the purple shailnws out of the deep canyons. The dust stirred up by the horses, feet settled back 110011 the tlew-cm'ered grass. The air was filled with a faint aroma. A bird twittered now and then. aml a lone coyote was seen sknlkingr 11D a dry gulch. Rusty llillis right haml mnved to his hip. and then slowly slid back as he muttered. tilt wuuhl sure be a shame to wake Dame Nature up so st1tltle11. ' After a half-houris ride the party struck a line fence. llere Rusty lill directed two men to work toward the north and east. and the other two toward the west and north. with the understanding that they were to meet him at Devills Basin at 110011. Then he started nPf in a northerly direction. but as an after-thought turned and shouted back: llBetter keep your eves tmen, llab. Yotfre liable to find gnld i11 'mnst any of these old rocks around here. The men moved awav. watching for louse or bruken wire. They gradually worked farther and farther a'iart. until at last hills aml eam'tms lay between the two parties. liab and his eumnaninn. a silent lmlian called lnse. worked for some time without exehange of words. Then Jose broke the silence. Hab want to find gold pretty much ? lW'es. Jose. I do? Jose shook his head in a hopeless manner and muttered to himself. Gold bad medicine. bad medicine. Why bad medicine. lose? asked llab. 33 n 'Iose looked sadly at llab, and then turning,r with just a suggestion of mischief, or it might be of superstition, in his eyes. stretched his longr arm out toward the north. uHab see white cliff? Padres find much gold there. Gold belongs to the evil spirit. liatl medicine for padres, bad medicine for Indians, bad medicine for white man. llab leaned over and took Jose firmly by the shoulder. ttJose, do you mean to tell me that the padres found gold over there on that while cliff? nPadres find gold there. Indians hml gold there. white man Find gold there now, but evil spirit come in the night. lleail all burn up inside. replied Jose. .llab settled back into his saddle, looked sternly at Jose. and said, uI don't believe in your evil spirit. If there is gold over there. I am going to have itfl Jose shook him head and muttered. l' Tad medicine, bad medicine. The two rode on and at the appointed time met the rest of the party at Devil's Basin. Lunch over. the men prepared to go back to their work. Hab was about to start off with jose when Rusty lill stopped him. tIDo you see that white cliff yonder at the north ? llab started, aml then answered with studied indifference. Yes, what about it?'l uJust a little way this side of it is a bad piece of fence. You take my horse and ride over and fix it. I will go back with Jose. HRut why should I take your horse? hI rode that way this morning, and if you shouldlose your way. Pedro . will follow his old trail. The men separated and rmle off in their several directions. Pedro picked his way easily along; a well-deflued trail. and Hab soon began to go over the story jose had told him that morning. He wondered if there really was gold over there. Then he remembered that he was every moment drawing nearer the enchanted spot. It was true that there was a fence to be mended. but surely that wouldift take long and then he would ride over and see if there was any truth in what Jose had said. He began to be impatient to be there and urged Pedro forward. The trail was growing narrower and steeper. and finally it branched, one part leadingr back down the mountain, and the other on up the canyon. The upper trail looked as if it had been abandoned, for the ehapparal on either side had grown out so as almost to fill it up. Hab was undecided which way to go. Then remembering what Rusty lill had told him. he dropped the reins on Pedrds neck. Pedro turned and pushed his way through the overhanging Chaparral and picked his way along the old trail. lIab began to look for the fence he was to mend. He could see no signs of it anywhere. but thinkingr that he might come upon it at any time, he rode on, watching that white elin grow more and more distinct. After a time Hab forgot all about the fence. and became absorbed in watch- ing that elitt, which now towered above him. Pedro suddenly rounded a point of rock. and llab found himself face to face with the padresl mine. The cliff seemed to be of limestone formation. Its face was scarred by deep crevices washed out by the waters of many winters. As Hab looked. he discovered a rude Eight of six or eight steps, which led up to an opening about four feet high in the face of the eliH. Hab looked about him nervously as if half expecting the spirit of some departed padre to jump out at him. Then he dropped the reins over Petlr0,s neck. and dismounting, climbed the steps. carefully scanning the rock on either side. He peered cautiously into the opening. The light revealed a cave which had been hollowed out by the hands of men, but enabled Hab to see back only a short distance. He was certain. however. that the cave was very large. The damp airwhieh issued from within gave Hah a queer feeling. but 34 he was determined to find out what 1211' in that dark interior. lle examined his revol1' er and cartridges and found them ready for use.

At the ex- pense 0f h1e matches he diseo1ered that the cave 11 as about eight feet wide and ten or fifteen feet lon11. lhe sides and roof were 1'ou1rh as if they had been shaped with a pick. 1s llab 111o1ed to11ard the farther end of the ea1e his foot struck against something hard. After a hasty examination. he pulled out from beneath a pile of limestone and dirt an old pick. a tomato can. and the remains of an old silk handkerchief. They appeared to have been dropped in a hurry. and, thought llab. a oortion of the roof caving in has nearly covered them up. Sure enouglL above his head was a hollow place where the rock had fallen in. He carelessly kicked at the tomato can. It rolled over and some dirt and crushed roek spilled out. As he lit a new match. its flicker was answered by a yellow gleam from the month of the can. He dropped to his knees and emptied the contents of the can in a little heap. As he held the match nearer. his heart almost stopped beating. Then with a wild shout of joy. he leaped to his feet and danced about the cave, shouting. Gold! Gold! l have found gold l'l After his first feeling of joy had passed. Hab took his handkerchief. and carefully seraoed all the contents of the can into it. Then he began to ex- amine the walls of the cave. At the far end he caught a little yellow gleam from a Lraek in the rock. lloldin1r the old can against the 11' all with one knee he opened his jack knife and ran the blade down the crack. 'lin1' yellow particles ahnost like dust trickled 111111 11 into the can. llab had ne1 er dreamed that gold would he so easy to get. llis one thought 11' as that he could pa1 Rusty Bill back in full measure for all of his joking. He worked 011 fever- ishly until he had about an inch of yellow dust in the bottom of the can. Then the streak gave out. l'lab was confident that it needed only a few strokes with the pick to reveal the precious stream again; but realizing: that it was getting late. he tied his treasure tightly in his handkerchief. and puttin,gr it into his hip noeket left the cave. Pedro was lazily cropping deerweed where Hab had left him standing. At a word from Hab. he started briskly off. and soon picked his way out into the open t1ail 11hiL'l1 led home. llab had forv'otten all about broken fences. and thou1rl1t only of the 11' ealth that could be secured so easil1. He began to wonder just how he 11o11ld tell the boys about his rich find Then he won- dered if it would he 11ise to tell them at all Finally he decided to keep quiet a few days until he could he perfectly sure about the extent of the mine. The sun had set and the men had already gathered about the supper table when llah came in. llI guess ltlab has been staking off that gold mine of his. offered Rusty Bill. as Hab pulled his chair into place. llah flushed and moved uneasily. He wished the boys would keep still about gold. He was almost afraid that they would discover that he had some in his pocket. HPadres find gold. why not white man? ventured Jose. 'I don't believe one 111ord of those superstitious yarns of yours. Jose declared Rusty llill. bringing his fist down on the corner of the table with a bang. llNor I either. echoed the ho1's around the table. Hah jumped to his feet. His face had gone white and his hands moved nervously. His voice was ahnost shrill. as he Hung back at them: llJose is right! The padres did find gold! And I have found goldl'l XVith that he pulled his handkerchief out and laid its contents bare. elose beneath the lamo. The light made fantastic eolors play about the little pile. The cowboys all stood up and gazed at it. awe-strieken. One reached out a finger and touched it cautiously. Rusty Rill slo11'l1' pulled his handkerchief 35 out and mopped his forehead. Something went elattering to the floor. Jose stooped, and when he rose he was turning over and over in his hand a little file and the butt of a brantl-new cartridge. One of the boys leaned over and examined the pile carefully again. Then he gave one long whistle and collapsed in a fit of laughter. One after another the boys began to laugh. Hah and Rusty Bill alone did not join in the mirth. They stood looking at each other across the table, llah with jaws tight and a gleam of fury in his eyes. Rusty Hill with a far-away look. as if he were thinking of anything but the present. Hab's eyes wavered for a moment. He saw that even Jose's stolitl faee wore a broad grin, as he looked almost earessingly at Rusty Hill. Slowly the fury tlietl. a smile spread over his face. and a twinkle came into his serious grey eyes. In a Hash, Rusty Bill's hand shot out across the table and clasped Hab's outstretched one. They stood thus for a full minute and studied each other. Then they dropped hands. and the meal was taken up where they had left off. Jose alone was heard to murmur, as if to himself: tlb'rass heap good medicine. A BALLAD 0F LACE AND LADIES.

One of the most popular of the entertainments given by the students at the Normal School during the year was the carnival held on the evenings of January 10 and 11 by the members of the Rowing Association. This event was a success as an exhibition of our school talent. as well as a material aid in raising the barge fund. The plan was conceived by Mr. XV. C. Crandall, who superintentletl the preparations and performance down to the smallest detail. Each department of the school was represented in some way by some crew of the Rowing Association,n1aking the tarni1al a departmental upot- pourri 111 fact, Mr Crantlall had quite set his heart on calling it such, but was convinced that the label would be fatal to the ticket sale Each tleiJart- ment was represented as follows : Art. Pristis crew , Mathematics, Rhinegold crew; Psychology. Dog Watch crew; History, Argonant crew; Domestic Science and Physical Education. Glaucus crew; Iliology and Physical Educa- tion. ll'hite Duck crew. The Y. VY. C. A. girls had the candy booth, and at the last moment almost everybody came in for a share of the work and fun. The visitor 011 entering bought his ticket of the Rhinegold member sta- tioned at the door, and proceeded into the lower foyer. The sonl-stirriner strains from above told him that the Normal All-ladies Orchestra had started the evening's fun. The posters and signs that greeted his eyes surely must have confused him as to which show was the best and most worthy of pa- tronage, but in the end he managed to lose most of his spare change some- where about the building. Three performances were given during the even- ing, and were so arranged that every one could see at least one performance of each show. Below stairs were the postoffice, the silhouettes, and in the library the Pristis living pictures which, indeed, were works of art. The manual training room had been transformed by the Glancus crew into a eafe-a-la-W'alletl-otf Astoria, where you were ser1 ed to the tune of Gee, llut I Like Music lVith my Meals,y with anything you wished pro1',idetl Of course, that you wished 1'01 hot tamales or ice cream and cocoa larther down the corridor, in the gymnasium, were gathered the disciples of the terpsichorean art, also under the auspices of the Glaueus crew. Here the decorations were beautiful, and the Hoor was like glassein spots. 1n the upper foyer the Dogr H'atch had pitched the tent of a real live gypsy fortune teller 11110 read the mysterious lines at ten cents per f11t11re.ln the auditorium the training school under the supervision of the history department presented a playlet, The Childhood 0f Hiawatha, i in which they were aided by the Argonauts. About this time ttheoreticallyl you began to get hungry, and here were the Y. 1V. C. A. girls with all kinds of home-matle candies tempting you, at 5C a bag. Following the line of least resistance, and incidentally. the suggestive footprints stuck to the floor, you arrived eventually at room 33. where the thite Ducks held forth. Here the show opened with a biological lecture given by Mr. Crantlall, supplemented by stereopticon slides made in the department. This was fol- lowed by an oar tlrill by a picked drill crew. Last and most charming was the solo dance, In the Shadows. by little Miss Margaret llennette of the training school. Such was the carnival of 1913; butslest we forget the cold gray dawn of the morning after. when just a few of 11s came back to clean up. There was the superfluous iee-cream to be eaten; there were the floors to be swept, and our gay signs, that looked rather sickly in the morning light, to be taken down forever. We also have painful memories of sitting tailor-fashion 011 a biology table, scraping miles and miles of passe partont titis as sticky as it looksl decorations from the oars; using Mr. Crantlall's pocket knife. and thus spoiling that instrument once and 101 all as a razor or e1en as a can opener. Heres hoping the next kirmess is as big a success and that it provides as much unadulterated fun as that of the year 1913. 37 LOG OF THE PRISTIS CREW. The Ilristis erew has had a must prnspernus aml happy year under the able tlireetinn nf its captain. Miss ll iatriee limery.

The tilaueus girls npenetl their seasnn's activities with a jolly house party in llrnektnn Villa La .lulla. This party was given in hnnur ml the 3X pledge members of the crew. The idea of taking the ple1I1I'e 111embe1's to La lolla was to make them ride the goat and 11111hIe1'1Io all sorts of G Iaucus stunts before they 11e1'e formally taken into the e1e11. The girls 2110 111111 full- Hedged GIaueii. 7 During the months foIImving the house party the girls were bnsin engaged in planning stunts for the kirmess. They were given charge of the large gymnasium, which was set aside for dancing, and of the spacious 1Ira11'i11g room, where refreshments were to be se1'1'e1l. The girls showed their originality. not only in the costumes worn, but also in the decorations, which were most artistic and choice.

They 11iII close their season 5 aeti1ities 11ith another house part1 at IIroekton I iIIa. The Duck season opened early this year 211111 has proved an unusually active one. The first migration was northward to 1.21 VIoIIa-on-the-eove. Although it was along,r in November. the Ducks were in swimming most of the time. Anita couldn't 111111 a spot in the cove where the water would cover her all at once, and Iittle Krnsie lost herself in the first venturesmne ripple that came out to meet her.

It was at this house party that lilsa extinguished herself at cooking and housekeeping , and won a vote of thanks from the bunch for relieving them of these arduous duties. During Xmas week. Miss IIznniII entertained :1 luncheon at her home for Miss Ann Sehnnemann. Many nmonlig'ht beaeh parties were enjoyed by the crew. one being nnusually pleasant. when we hove aneho' 211111 pa1I1IIe1I to North Island for a little spread. On another occasion we rowed o1'e1' early one Saturday morning. and roamed about the island 2111 11211: visiting the aviation camp and other points of interest. II'e returned in the eveningr after a joyIuI 111112 to the pleasure of which the Hhot-dog buns had contributed not a Iittle. About this time Miss Hamill entertained members of the crew with :1 sIumber party, but we were unable to find any one present who slumbered. 39 Later Miss Steere entertained with an afternoon thimhle party as a farewell to Miss Miller, who has since left for the East. Easter week saw us at our old stamping-groumls. at La Jolla t'lstamp- ing-ground is possible even for a flock of geesel. The presence of two other State Normal School crews, the Pristis and the Rhinegold, made the week more interesting. and gave rise to many exciting nocturnal adven- tures. W'e were entertained successively with a dancing party. a theater party. a tatiiy-pull by the Ilristis Crew, a beach party. another dance, and an evening at howling aml hilliartls. At howling Anita shone, rolling up the immense score of 56.'wl1ile at billiards Elsa walked of? with the honors, lnftlllg the cue hall from one green-covered table to the next, a distance of some ten feet. lYe lnst Krusie again in one Of the pockets and made Tommy Hunter. Katherine Hudson was accompanied on this week's outing by two trunks. and spent most of her leisure moments donning appropriate costumes. Mildred H was there like a Duck. and we never will forget llllumpy's pies. XYe were well ehapemned by Mrs. Davis. and we attribute much of our good fun to her tact aml patience. On April 25th the crew left again for La .Iolla 21ml llroekton Villa. and were entertained with another charming week-eml hmise-party, Mrs. Hudson acting as ehaperone. On May 8th, Miss Steere entertained us with an informal afternoon at her hmne. This brings our social calendar to date. but there is still something ahead; namely. a little hike. nut to he taken for sueial purposes exclu- sively. It happens that during the course of the school year the crew has overlooked some six days of the required exercise. and Miss 'lianner has decreed that, in order to make it up we walk from here tn San Francisco and back. A mere trifle! The oliieers this year are: Captain. Elsa Garber: lieutenant captain. Ruth Kruse; cmnmissary. Flora Ann Hamill; treasurer, Ethel Gunn. RHINEGOLD. Under the capable leadership 0f the Captain. lune Callaway. the Rhine- goltl crew has passed an exceedingly pleasant and profitable year. lYe have had the good fortune to have in our crew 21 former Rhinegold, Miss Georgia V. Coy. now head of the science department, and through the com- hinetl efforts of Miss Coy and our captain. we have become expert in haml- ling the oars. The membership of the crew at present includes Miss Georgie V. Coy. June Callaway tcaptainl, Leila Alexander, Dorothy Remaley, Elsie XVhet- stone, Evelyn jnrres. Anne Stephens. Mary lower, Clara liensom. Evelyn Harrington. Ione llnal. Vivien Volk and Myrtle Anderson. Aside from the purely athletic are our social activities. and though. because of school work. they must of necessity be limited. we have managed to have some exceptionally jolly times. Une moonlight night during the first quarter we had a barge party to North lslaml. aml a very merry affair it was. Mr. lV. C. Crandall. our former Commodore. Miss Goddard. and Miss Tanner. took good care that none of us fell overboard. and helped initiate the new members into the mysteries mi 3 camp-fire supper. llut fully to appreciate the delicacy of hot-dogs and apples. roasted on a stick and generously sprinkled with sand. one must undergo the experience. Later on in the term a tlpmgressive house-party was given. It started with an elaborate dinner at June Callaway's home. where many toasts were given. and unsuspected talent. vocal. oratorical and otherwise. was called l'urth. From here we hied ourselves to Florence Emery's home in another part of town. and there spent the night. This novel party ended mi the next afternoon with a matinee. and all declared it a huge success. 40 During the Christmas holidays 21 dance was given at the Olympia boat house. In january the school carnival was given. and the Rhinegold crew. in charge of the Mathematics Department, showed an abundance of energy and good will. By far the gayest affair was the week spent at La .lolla during the Easter holidays. The crew engaged a furnished house. and Mrs. llalliday. a friend of Mrs. liensom. kindly undertook the task of ehaperoningr us. Under her patient guidance we managed the housekeeping by usually allow- ing the house to keep itself. while we were away enjoying the surf bathing and sandy beach, or paying a friendly little visit to the abode of one of the other normal school crews. who were enjoyin,gr a rest at La Jolla. On the afternoon of April 26th. Mabel Cheatham entertained the mem- bers of the crew with a button party. All had a very pleasant time, thanks to our clever hostess. THE DOG WATCH. In September the Dog lYatch crew entertained the new members with a barge party. Starting at sunset we enjoyed a most delightful row across the bay to North Island. W'ith the aid of many willing hands a bon-lire was soon made. It was no time before every one was enjoying the most inviting,r 0f picnic suppers, in which hot weenies and hot coffee figured. Almost every one wanted a cup of coffeeeeven those who had never tasted the beverage before,-perhaps because the making of it had been under the supervision of the chaperones. The rest of the eveningr was devoted to the telling of jokes and stories. the relating of queer experiences, and the singing of songs. The company's repertoire was of a wide and varied range, includ- ing sacred and popular music, solos and choruses. lletween the songs. toasted marshmallows were served on long sticks. Every one was rather sorry when it came time to break ranks and return home. XVe rowed back by the light of the moon, although the moon persisted in hiding,r behind a cloud all the while we were on the water. The chaperones for the party were Miss Judson, Miss Longenecker and Mr. Outcalt. The crew visited the Xing-llo, the old Chinese pirate junk. Every thing about the old ship. from the weird designs on her stern and the huge eye on her bow. to the cruel devices for torture, which are exhibited. seemed to stand for oriental civilization. The ship is made of eamphor-wood, and her cable of twisted straw. Some of our members had the pleasure of riding in a jinrikisha. we were shown the guns-such crude and simple instru- ments of war. One of our girls was so bold as to wager that the average American boy could make a better gun. The visit was very interesting aml instructive. On April 26th. Miss Ruth Cramlall entertained the crew with a beach party. The girls went in bathing. and later a delightful picnic lunch was served on the beach. Mrs. Sebree was the chaperone for the occasion. ARGONAUTS. The old Argonaut crew was reorganized this year. and Ruth Evans. as captain, has directed the crew with such ability. combined with unfailingr good humor. as to endear her to all. There has been no lack of good times. The row to Roseville to the road races. that memorable breakfast on the beach when the coffee pot blew up, the highly successful barge party. the house partyeall are memories that will not soon be lost. nut our pleasantest recollections are of the many hours spent just together, lying on the sand at North Island. telling stories or discussing weighty problems. giving lway all together one at a time. to the tune of My Bonnie, and last. but by no means least. enjoying to the utmost the comradeship of our one best friend. the Commodore. 41 mmunmhm +4 White Ducks sauim +5 46 The Dog Watch THE MAY DAY FESTIVAL. AY DAY this year found the normal school opening its doors to an institute of county teachers. instead of following its time-honored custom of celebrating our dedication anniversary. The student body and chorus did not assemble. and there was no Senior Honor Address. However, in the opening number of the institute programathe May Day Festivalathe participants were all from the school. representing all depart- ments. from the May Queen. Myrle Coolidge of the senior class. to the second grade of the training school. Bearing in mind the special audience of teachers. Miss Tanner. who arranged the festival and trained the merrymakers, had chosen simple games and dances suitable to children in the grades. It is not too much to say that the hour which it occupied was one of unqualified delight to both par- ticipants and onlookers. There was a spontaneity in the whole that was good to see, in spite of the fact that the experienced knew that much careful drill must lie behind it. At 9:30 the orchestra began to play Jockey to the Fair, and the merrye makers came dancing and tripping in in informal groups from the wings of the building to the Green: the Sir Roger de Coverley lads each with his blue or pinkebonneted lassie; Robin Hood and his men. conspicuous among them Scarlet clad in his proper hue; the gay jester aml the mueh-envied prancing Hobby Horse; the limber sailors who were to dance the Hornpipe; the dainty little Looby-Ino singers, and the white-clad boys and girls for the Country Dances and the May Pole winding. then all were gathered. from the west portieo emerged the stately Queen with her garland bearer and maids of honor. before whom the Attendants executed a graceful dance as they advanced to the Green. and there formed a lane through which the Queen might pass to the throne erected for her. After she had been crowned and had acknowledged the homage paid by her kneelingr subjects. the Queen took her seat to witness the sports and dances prepared in her honor. The order of the merrymaking is shown in the program that follows. In coneeotion and execution it was one of the most thoroughly enjoyable ever presented here. 1. Gathering of the Merry Makers. 2.

Hiawatha. the boy, was interpreted by Albert Fisher; Hiawatha, the man, by Fritz Boeekh; Nokomis. by 'Beatriee Beermaker; and Minnehaha. by Bessie Cox. The part of Mondahmin was given by Clifford Smith. These were chosen not from any one class, but from almost every grade. Even the little folks appeared in the representation of the animals of the forest. friends of Hiawatha. Gertrude Maelkmald was the bluebird; Evelyn Cox. the robin: Albert Fletcher, the squirrel; Louis Fisher. the rabbit; and Ella Haas, the pigeon. Girls from the fourth grade gave the fire-Hy dance. e Although a difficult piece of work. 'l-Iiawatha'y was presented with a great deal of success. It was repeated before a large audience several times during each of the two nights of the carnival. The next in our series was the Lincoln Memorial program. given on February 12th. by the pupils of the intermediate school. Every one in those grades took part in the preparation and presentation of the scenes, which. by means of- dialogue and action. denicted the career of Lincoln. The scenes were episodic, but they were made into a unity by means of patriotic songs sungr by the normal school chorus and guests in the audience. The program was as follows: Program announced by a ninth grade pupil. Scene 14mm Boyhood Home of Lincoln ..................

All of the pupils entered into the work with much enthusiasm and gave very good interpre- tations of their parts. The entertainment was repeated at the time of the Teachersi Institute, which was held at the normal school. All of the plays thus far given. with the exception of TiHiawatha. have been written or arranged from the work in the history of literature of the grades which gave them. They were dramatizations rather than true plays. and this fact enhanced their value to the pupils. by making the regular work more interesting. On the evening of iVashingtunk birthday two nlavs. The Pipefs Pay. by Margaret Cameron. and nMrs. Oakleyis Teienhone. by Eulora Jennings. were presented in the auditorium by members of the N. P. S. class and Grace Seanlan of the junior class. Those takingr part in iiThe Piper's Pay were Lena Jenkins. Ruth XVilcnx, Grace Scanlan. Josephine Holtlernesse. Ruth King. Dora Fuller and Lily Miehler. iiMrs. Oakley's Telephone was pre- sented by Dora Fuller. Lena Jenkinsx Hazel Brown and Lily Michler. Roth plays were well received bv an a'mreeiative audience. and were reneatetl by request on the evening of March 7th. The proceeds of the first presentation were given to the barge fund. More recently the dramatization of Longfellow's iiCourtshin of Miles Standile was given by the seventh grade in connection with the work in literature. The little play had been worked out by the pupils in class. and afterwards arranged by the teacher of the grade. Edith Strong. UrieHy. it portrays the incidents of the poem. The UCnurtship of Miles Standish is a difficult poem for seventh grade pupils to interpret, but the children acted their parts very well indeed. 51 Priscilla. the demure Puritan maiden with her spinning wheel, was Marjorie MeCtn'tly; john Alden. Perry lh'own; Miles Standish, Maurice Ross; Elder Brewster. Vere Rhodimer; the Magistrate. Eddie lYiener; the Messenger, Harold l-Iigbie; the Indian, jnne Sweet; the lnterpreter, Eliz- abeth Heldring. The remaining seventh grade pupils represented the people of the village. The play, prepared with the assistance of Miss llntt. was given before the normal school assembly and invited guests. llesides our little plays in the English language we hope to present one in Spanish and another in French. The pupils studying these languages are preparing these plays under the supervision of Miss Goddard. the instructor in modern languages. The plays are of such nature as to be easily interpreted. even by one who does not know the languages. For their .eri'atlnatiner exercises the 8A's will present a dramatization of Thomas Hood's The Plea of the Midsummer liairies. Time: Moonlight eve. lllace: A shady. sequestered scene. Characters: Titania. Father Time, Robin Gootlfellow Puck. Ariel. Shakespeare. Fairies: llop, Mop. Drop, Pip, Trip, Skip, liib, Tib, Lib. llnek. Tick, Quik, Zit. Nit. Wop, lV'in. Action: Titania grieves because Time has declared that the lives of all fairy elves must end. ller faithful fairies all gather about her. and Time appears. Each fairy in turn pleads for life. but Time lifts his blade to mow theln down; when the figure of Shakemeare comes forth. battles with him. and finally conquers him. Time flees, and the fairies, led by Titania, dance about their gentle preserver. deckingr him with wreaths and tlowers. The Commencement play to be given duringr the last week of school will be the most elaborate of the yearis dramatic presentations. This is to be l'Ulyssesfl by Stephen Phillips. It will be presented out of doors, on a stage built in front of the Grecian eolonnatle which decorates the entrance to the normal school building. Dratalis Personae. 0n Olympus.

The scene in Hades written in blank verse narrative by Mr. Ontealt, is presented by Beatrice Emery. who plays the part of the Greek Chorus. The play Ulysses, because of its Grecian atmosphere. will harmonize well with the setting given it in front of the school building. The Grecian colonnatles will form a fitting background. and the desired effect will be strengthened further by the flowing robes of the actors. ll'e may expect that. under the expert guidance of the instructor in dramatic art, Miss Jane But. this last play. the farewell of the seniors. will meet with the highest success. 52 Y.

There is a stronger bond of fellowship among the students than has ever existed before.

Next year it will be but a shadow. but we hope its memory will ever have some little nook in the tlear Ultl normal. 011 the night of ilanuary 28th the senior ll's paid their respects to the senior A's by giving them a banquet at Fargent's grill. This banquet was a farewell not only to the senior A class. but also to one of the most highly esteemed members of the faculty. Mr. tirantlall. The special banquet room had been reserved for us exclusively, and the management hail decorated the place beautifully aml appropriately with pennants. Gorgeous tioral pieces decorated the tables. The liveliest and most interesting part of the eveningr was spent in giving toasts. Miss Alice Clough acted as toastmistress. Mrs. Adrienne Allen. president of the senior His, spoke for that class. and Miss Reba Doyle responded for the senior .X's. Mr. llardy. president of the school. made a witty and clever toast in his most happy style, and was enjoyed most heartily by everybody. lVe all appreciated his criticism of Mr. Cranilallythat his single fault was a 'tsingle fault. Mr. Howard Miller. the lone but not lonesome boy of his class. responded with a toast to che lassies.

During the early part of lime the senior class will hohl a reception for Miss XYa-V. our beloved preeeptrer:s. and Miss Alice Pratt. of the English department. lloth of these teachers have been with the school from its beginning. and an elaborate affair is planned in their honor. It is with much regret that we learn of Illisst lVay's and Miss lltat't's plans for next 56 year, for we doubt very much if any one could take the place of either in the affections of all who know them. The play ..Uly'sses. ' by Stephen llrillips, will be rendered by the class in the early part of june, in front of the school, on a platform especially built for the occasion. after the plan of a Greek theater. Then for a real jolly time! 'tl'ligh jinks! This is, you know. the time when seniors can step off their pedestals and forget their illustrious titles for . . ........ two minutes. What are we going to do? TYell, for reasons known only to ourselves. we won't tell you. but we invite you to come and forget yourself with us. The hurry and excitement of commencement are upon us, and soon, at the final reception. we shall sadly bid adieu to the dear old normal, where we have spent so many happy and busy hours.

A emnphmentary recital was given for the Mendelssohn Club at the Unitarian Church building. The program consisted of the cantata. The Lady of Shalott. and two other groups of songs. which were well received by the very appreciative audience. Under the auspices of the XVomen's Club at Lakeside a program was given by the Philomel chorus. May 3d, dedicating the new club house. Instead of the usual annual concert given by the chorus. a short recital in connection with the orchestra. fulluwed by an informal reception to the friends of the school, has been arranged for this year. Aside from these affairs, the chorus joined in the XVagner Music festival given by the United Singingr Societies of San Diego at the Spreekels Theater. May 22d.

STUDENT BODY NOTES AA'ith the graduation of the February Class a new election of class presi- dents was necessary; the new central committee is Comprised as follows: Menibervat-Larg'e, Elsa Garher. President. Senior A President Alice Cl111114h. Ariice-llresident. Senior Ii President Lida Eienenlaub. Treasurer. Junior President Clara Fensmn. Secretary. The committee has not, as yet. enacted anything new but will s1111n he- 14'in 11'11rk. It has some very important and definite projects that must be decided 11111111 in the near future. It will interest the St 111le11t body to k111111 that AIr. Lrandall has chosen the largest of the twelve cottages 11hiel1 ha1e been built under his super- vision at the Biological Station. Another Student llody project of this year is the creating of 21 students' 1113.11 fund. for the purpose of rendering assistance in the shape of small loans to students. This fund was not granted in general budget. but was assigned a special source of income. One of the most successful and popular innovations of the Student Body was the 'tSoeial l71'ening, every Friday 011 these nights the build- ing is throw 11 open to the students and their friends. 111111 many a jolly little party 31111 dance has been enjoyed in the 141'11111asi11111. Refreshments are provided. Miss Alice Clough was appointed chairman of the Social C0111- mittee, and she has made these Friday night affairs pleasant indeed. 6+ UUuumFP-EOU :QLaEUU STUDENT BODY NOTES. Student Bmly activities for the year 1912-1913 opened with a general election of officers during the third week of September. The resulting central committee. composed of the presidents of the threeclasses and the member at large elected by the entire student body. held its hrst meeting September 27. and elected student butlyvnmeers as follows: Member at Large, Elsa Garber, President. junior President. Helen lirtl. Yice-llresident. Senior 13 President. Mrs. Adrienne Allen. Treasurer. Senior A President, lVanita Rives. Secretary. Miss Gertrude Longeneeker was appuinted Faculty Member. aml Mr. ll'est, Business Adviser. Meetings of this committee were held in the A. 8. ll. ufhce. the nliiee having been furnished with a new desk. several chairs. curtains for the window, shelves and other necessary articles. Among the new projects un- dertaken by the committee through the A. 5. ll. oHice was the sale of books, new and seemnl-haml. used by the students in the various classes. These books were sold at lower prices than those demanded in the tlnwn-town stores. and hence this opportunity saved the students no little money. Later was added the en-nperative store tlenartment. and the otiiee was able to sup- ply all the necessary paper. pencils. erasers, notebooks, etc.. used in the school. The lost and found department was also run in connection with the ol'hee. and many an errant beauty pin was returned to its owner through this medium. A glance at the budget for the fall term shows an appropriation of $20 as a sinking,r fund for a new barge. This was to be a nucleus to be aug- mented from time to time. The idea is a worthy one. The raising of a suHieient amount is a slow process. yet it is to be hoped that the purchase of a new barge will be a thingr of the near future.
