And jack Fielding-jack the immaculate, the biggest fusser in the school,-walked slowly up the long, nar- row, winding paths to the school- alone. Other boys walked there too, but at their sides were the girls. jack entered the building and me' chanically had his hat and coat checked. He passed old friends by, without even a perfunctory greeting, and walked quietly into the big gymnasium where the masque was to be held. The senior masque was always the biggest social affair of the year in the school, and this evening the crowd gathered early, while streams of brightly costumed guests flowed constantly through the big doors. In the corners stood girls who were besieged by the many novel mas- quers imploring for dances. And 'lack was alone! Yesterday such a thing would have been thought improbable, and yet here he was all alone. A group of boys had gathered in one of the corners and were now discussing this topic. Various theories were ex- pounded and exploded, many sugges- tions were oifered and refused, but Charles, Jack's best friend and most loyal follower, was silent. Suddenly he spoke, and sharply. You fellows are all barking up the wrong tree. I'in going to tell you the exact story as I heard it from jack him- self, and as I know from my personal observations. You all mean well, you're all wrong. She's a beautiful girl, you'll all mit that, and ever since her father, German consul, came to this city, and 'lack have been on the best of terms. They were inseparable in school, and whenever you saw one at a party or dance, you didn't have to look far before you saw the other one. but ads the she 7 ,f t 'jack got in good with her dad from the start, and was up at her house nearly every night. Her father told him all about Germany, and about the Kaiser, and about the German's hatred for Italy, because of that country's failure to stand by her allies. Clara usually shared her father's prejudices, and she hated Italy. 'lack always acquiesced to every statement she made. He was no fool-yet! And so time passed, until they had been going together for some months- At this point a convict entered and in- formed Charles that he was to have the next dance. He left, and the group of boys waited impatiently for his return. Finally he came back, As I was saying, he commenced, mopping his brow, they had been going together for many months when4well, you all know julius Caesar- 'There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the Hood leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage Is bound in shallows and of their life in miseries'. For one day And so it was with jack. at least, he left all his usual tact at home, and now he's sitting over corner all alone.

T EVENTEEN boys, the N sons of very respec- hn- table families in New ill V Canaan, sat around a M' small keg of cider in gp 'P' the basement of the , ' Presbyterian church. the keg tried weakly to push back the darkness. The boys were not a whit op- pressed by the gloom. Their spirits rose with the disappearance of each cup of cider. They were reasonably safe from fear of detection, for no one ever came near the church between Thursday and Saturday. Besides, Skip Farrel was doing guard duty. The seventeen had deliberately banded together for the purpose of purloining food. Boys of seventeen or thereahout seem to have an eternal hunger. If you otfer food to a growing boy you may always be sure of having it accepted- unless he is on his good behavior or very much embarrassed. These boys, partly because of their love for what they thought a joke, and partly on account of this hunger, made frequent raids on the ice-boxes and back porches of poor helpless fellow villagers. They had deft- ly removed a freezer of ice-cream the night Mrs. Ellis had the church social at her house. They took a barrel of apples from the Rev. Mr. Sloat's summer kitchen, They had also taken some of Mrs. lfiper's fruit jello and she was forced to make dessert on Sunday, an unnecessary labor which she was sure damned her soul forever. Their last escapade had been to carry away a keg of Deacon Lutkin's hard cider, although for the sake of the deacons standing in the community few knew he ever had it. Bill Dailey was the ringleader of the little group. He delivered yfroceries for his father after school: so he had a line opportunity to look things over. Be- fore the lmys planned a raid, he was the one who noted the fastenings on doors and such small details as whether the family had a dog. The boys had just mapped out another such expedition. But now all serious business was past and they were discus- sing the prospective arrival of Lana Forest. lVhenever she came she was the center of attraction. The girls thought she was a cat, Not so the boys, however, and now they were talking about her with much animation. Say fellows, said Bill, Mom says I can give a dance if I want to. Guess I'll have one on Valentine Day-but dubs on Lana or I don't give the party. See ? Cries of Aw Bill, don't be such a hog this time and Dont think you can get away with what you :lid last time arose. But Bill was Firm. No sir, I'm going to have Lana or I don't give the dance. And say fellows, Mom says I can borrow the minister's TTI lllt Q 'init' . l t Someone has taken the icescreamf' Yic'n- he turned the spigot of the cider keg fruitlessly. Say fellows, the cider's all gone. Huh, said 'lim Ferris, and we promised to give two extra to Skip for gnardin'. Hc'll be sore. Come on, kids, let's go up town. THE FORUM Seven So they carefully put out the candle and, that they might be less noticeable, left the church in little groups. It 4 It lk Ik lk X lk Lana and St. Valentine's Day came in due time, though it seemed to Bill that he had waited for years. He and his mother had argued and discussed every detail. Although for the n1ost part Mrs. Dailey had convinced him of his ignor- ance in regard to social procedure, Bill had ventured one suggestion that met with her approval. He wished to have ice-cream molded into heart shapes. He had wanted them red, but his mother had forbidden that absolutely and had diplo- matically suggested a dark pink. Many times he had rehearsed the scene in which he should present the beautiful Lana with a blushing heart-his heart, he passion- ately told himself. Almost daily he had gone to the drug store to tell the clerk to be sure and have it an awful dark pink and not to forget to order the heartshaped mold. His pleas must have had some effect, for promptly at seven-thirty the ice- cream with the mold arrived and was placed in state on the back porch. He went early to call for Lana, and with her at his side, he received his guests! I-Ie felt very important and was enjoying himself thoroughly. After a little awkward pause in which a supreme effort at dignified conversation was made, the dancing began. Bill passed the next two hours in an excited daze terminated at last by the appearance of his mother at the dining-room door. She beckoned, and he went to her impatiently. He hoped she wasn't going to ask him to help serve! O lVilliam, she cried, someone has taken the ice-cream! What the-. Who could have done that ? VVell, there are others in this town who would like to know that beside you, observed Mrs. Dailey tartly. Many thoughts were running through Bill's nonplussed head. They ran strangely to jello, cider and the minis- ter's apples, Gee whiz, it's kind o' fierce --. I didn't know-. VVell, VVilliam, don't stand there like a calf. Hurry up and run over to the minister's house and telephone for some more ice-cream. You may not be able to get it all one kind, but for goodness sake get something! At the door he turned, Mom, he cried pathetically, did they take the mold t00 ? at x ir ir ir -r is at The Rev. Mr. Sloat was speaking very earnestly to his wife, You know, jerry, I wasn't sure that it was the boys till I found the deacon's cider keg in the church basement along with that queer old cup of Mrs. Dailcy's. I've known the meanness to come out of boys Bill's age in some mighty queer ways. It's funny I didn't think of them before- Then after I did get an inkling, Bill came over to ask for the Victrola and told about the ice-cream he was going to have. The idea came to me then and I couldn't resist-Poor VVilliaml He did look so unhappy when he came over to telephone. I hated to make him take all the punishment, but I more than half think this business will stop now-And I guess Bill will remember this better than any sermon. XVilma L.

You know I haven't seen Phyllis since last june when she left school to be- come Mrs, George Carruthers. Sh e didn't have a large wedding or I would have been there. Anyway, ever since the wedding, she's been writing and asking me to come dur- ing a vacation to see her new home, her new husband, and last fhut, as usual, not leastj her new brother-in-law, Law- rence. From her letters, I gathered that he was a model of perfection-all that could be desired in a brother-in-law. The only dastardly thing he ever did, that I can see, was to allow himself to have a nickname. fljhyl, at least, calls him Dade.j I felt that Midge's efforts to have me meet this pink of perfection ought to be rewarded. So with mo- ther's permission I wrote to tell her that if my luck was good and I didn't miss my train, or if it didn't run on the track with yours truly, I'd be with her some- where between dawn and midnight of the twenty-second. I was soon properly settled on my train. Qfixpcrienced travcllerlj I got so tired of riding over the same area, passing the same stations, and seeing the same kind of people that always are to be seen on this train, which I've ridden in so many times when going to Midge's, that I decided to try to get a couple of layers of New York State dirt off my hands and face. This, so that if I chanccd to meet any people they wouldn't think that I was travelling ad for a clever real estate dealer. As I was so sick of trying to peek around and be- tween the tlaws in that old mirror in the dressing room, that I refused to honor it with my presence again, or take any chances of crossing my eyes, and so I triumphantly marched to the dressing room of the car ahead. Here, facing a ' - 412 A blank wall, I began operations. XVhile doing my best to make myself appear beautiful, I mentally viewed the stations as I remembered them. At last I was ready to go back to the car again. As I opened the door to the car platform, I braced my head against the wind, and walked on-bang! into a closed gate. I looked up at rapidly receding tracks. Can you imagine me, my skirts whip- ping around my ankles, a cake of soap and a towel clutched in one hand, a purse in the other, and a look of sheer amazement in my eyes! A conductor appeared, and I looked at him and the track alternately. That man was laugh- ing so hard that Finally I thought it was my bounden duty to help him along. It sounded so cheerful to me in my pre- sent state of mind. lVhen the poor deluded mortal could compose himself, he asked, lVhere did you think you were going? Back to my section. VVhat have you done with it? I came into this car about an hour ago from the car Mohakwa, and now-where is it P Ah, I see fquite a satisfactory re- mark you'll admit.j There was such a long pause that finally I couldn't stand it any longer. Doubtless, I remarked, putting as much of a December ocean breeze in my tone as was possible, but I can't see how that's helping me. Then the conductor came to, and volunteered the information that the Mo- hakwa had been cut off at the last sta- tion and was going rapidly in the oppo- site direction. The conductor offered to help me, and did. I-Ie worked to such a purpose that a few minutes later, the Canadian express slowed down at a small town to allow a hatless, coatless, breathless person to descend the steps. Here I was in a tix! No station agent to be seen, and the station itself tightly closed. After I had stood there for an eternity a young man came up to me and asked whether he could be of any assistance. THE FORUM N ine Having given him a quick glance which showed me that he was no country fel- low, I replied that I wouldn't he in the least surprised if he could be. He said that his mother, who was in a small road- ster that I could see from where I stood, had seen that I was in some predicament, and had told him to get me. Well, un- usual situations call for unusual actions. I followed him. The little old lady, whom he presented as his mother, struck a soft spot in my heart, and I decided inwardly that what- ever she told me to do must be all right, and I'd do it, After I had explained my plight, she said that if her son would take her home, he could then take me in the machine to the Junction where I could make proper connections. I decided after I was on the road with the young man that he needed talking to. He didn't respond to my efforts very quickly. In fact I got so tired of answer- ing my own questions that I started on another track. I told him all about Midge's brother-in-law, how perfect he was, and what a model for all brother- in-laws. I-Ie became interested, and told n1e that perhaps my opinion, formed through the medium of Phyl's letters, would change when I met the young man. From then on, until we came to tl1e junction, we really enjoyed our- selves. Strange to say, with all my trouble, I arrived at Phyl's house on two o'clock of the appointed day. About two hours later, after I had made myself quite at home, and also presentable, and when I was coming down the stairs to tell all about my haps and mishaps, I heard Midge talking to a man on the porch. I heard her calling him Dade, and saying that she hadn't expected him so soon. Here at last then, was the wonder of wonders. I'hyl's brother-in-law! Phyl called me to meet Lawrie, As I came down the last steps I recognized the voice. I almost fell over my own feet! But I had to come down, voice or no voice! I stumbled on until tin- ally Midge had me by the hand and was saying: I want you to meet my 'brother,' Lawrence Carruthers. Lawrie, this is Impie, my old 'roomie.' After one agonized glance, which showed the real- ization of my worst fears, I burst out into uncontrollable laughter in which Lawrie joined. Midge, in a very injured tone, complained because she was let out of the joke. Do I have to tell you that my opinion of Lawrie has changed just as he fthe young man of the machinej said, that I had such a wonderful time at Midge's that I hated to leave? If your imagin- ation ftoo vivid at timeslj doesn't tell you this, I'll help you out with some in- teresting details when I Seventh Heaven. Molly dear, d0esn't a this, demand a sequel as reply? You know I can receive as many letters as you write-so do your duty! Heaps of love, From your own, Impie. get back to volume like an immediate P. S. You will soon have a chance to meet the marvel ffor he is all of that, though in a diderent way than I expect- edj for I've asked him up for the Hop.

In reality the struc- ture of the beast is quite simple. Very effective hollow quills cover all exposed places except a black, ugly face and a pink shirt front. Almost everyone has his or her hobby. The porcnpine's hob- by is salt. He immediately loses all of his laziness when anyone is within smell- ing distance. This is a strong statement too, for he is extremely lazy. Why shouldn't he be? Nature has done her best for himg in the spring and summer he eats buds and leaves, especially those from the birch tree: while in winter, when every other animal in the woods is starving, the porcupine tears off the out- er bark and eats the soft inner layer. Last summer a fat and pompous por- cupine waddled onto the beach before our cottage in northern Vvisconsin and after some deliberation climbed into a birch tree and out onto very small branches, that seemed as though they would not hold his weight at all. There he lay all afternoon, half asleep, while occasionally he would pull in a leaf with his'paw and eat it. The porcupine, instead of the pig, should be called the height of obstinacy. Attempt to drive him in one direction and he will come straight for your legs and slap his tail with good effect. The only way to drive him in one direction is to try forcing him in the opposite one, and the porcupine will invariably lie at the other end of the trail when you get there. The porky has another inter- esting quality alsog he has no fear of 10 man as all the other wild things have. This is shown by an experience of a friend of mine who woke up one morn- ing, while camping near Porcupine Motmtain, with seven quills sticking into him as souvenirs of a nocturnal visit. The porcupine may be timid one day, and if you are caught without a club, drive you under the rear Hap of your tent the next. The game laws of nearly all states pro- tect porcupines for the entire year, be- cause it is asserted that they are the only animals which are able to be killed eas- ily by a person lost in the woods, an easy tap on the nose being enough to finish one. This is the only use which has been found to disprove that he is a mistake, and he barely got by at that. An ex- perienced woodsman has said: Once, to test the law, I added porcupine to my bill of fare-a vile, maloderous suffix that might delight a lover of strong cheese. It is undoubtably a good law: but I cannot imagine anyone being grate- ful for it unless the stern alternative were death or porcupine. The wild an- imals would gladly eat Unk XVunk, which is the Indian name for Porcupine. fNow your curiosity is satisfiedj, but he simply rolls up in a ball and could not be touched without harm except by an iron hand. Often, after a very hard winter, a lynx or weasel, wiser but ter- ribly hungry, works its nose under the body to the soft throat. One taste of blood and it is the end of both animals. For Unk XVunk swings his tail with a vicious sweep and his enemy is filled with quills, barbed like a harpoon, which every moment sends deeper into the body until they reach the heart or brain. The bear is the only animal that has the THE FORUM Eleven right idea, and he uses a dirty trick. He throws dirt on him until the porcu- pine rolls all his quills out, then the hear slips his paw under the body and hurls him again and again against a tree until he is all played out. Unk Wunk seemingly knows so little that it is a question whether or not he was ever taught hy his parents. It is the cause of some debate, whether he rolls up in a ball by instinct or by slow learn- ing. It is also a question whether his stupidity, which brings him out of hun- dreds of difliculties where his wits would fail, is like tl1e possum's idiocy, only a mask for his deep wisdom. A thousand generations of fat porcupines have taught him the folly of rush and worry, and so he lives a peaceful life. If you have one question when you nrst meet him, you will have twenty after a lesson or two. His whole paragraph begins and ends with a question mark, and leaves a dash for what is left unsaid. The porcupine has a great love of fuzi and amusement, however. The same man that I mentioned before saw a very amusing incident that shows this. I will quote his story. He had an idea in hie head this time, and was looking for something. A breeze had come down tree-tops above him. He would look steadily up at the tossing branches, and then hurry on to survey the next little tree he met, with paws raised against the trunk and chill eyes following the mo- tion overhead. At last he iound what he wanted, two small trees growing close together. He climbed one of these clum- sily, higher and higher until the slender top bent under his weight towards the other. Then he reached out to grasp the second tree with his forepaws, hooked his hind feet tirmly around the tirst, and lay there binding the treetops together, while the wind rose and began to rock his strange cradle. l.Yider and wider he swung, stretching out like a rubber band. His only note, meanwhile was an occa- sional squeal ot' satisfaction after a par- ticularly good stretch. XVhere did Unk XX'unk learn all this? Perhaps, since most ot' what animals know, according to my way of thinking, is a matter of learning, not instinct-his mother taught him some things which we have not seen. If so, Unk XVunk has more in his sleepy head than we give him credit for, and there is a very inter- esting lesson awaiting him who tirst linds and enters the Porcupine School. john R.

Y,,..,s A, .YY, , Aquarium Eliiaheu Among the pets familiar in our zool- ogy laboratories and homes, not the least attractive is the little gold fish. They require little space and are easily cared for, thriving under a variety of conditions. The glint of gold color among the plants is fascinatingg and their response to attention, although much slower and less intelligent than in many animals, adds much to their at- tractiveness. Among the inexpensive varieties are the pure gold, silver, black and oriole- while to the more ambitious aquarist the very beautiful fan-tails, with great, double, tilmy tail tins, the similar comet fish, the telescope, very short wide lit- tle creatures with protruding eyes, and thelion heads, with large roughened heads and with no dorsal or back lin, are fam- iliar. Few observers know the origin of gold fish. For this we must look to the Orient. Native to the streams of China is the carp, a very hardy fish, black and with large scales. These, although of only fair food value, because of their hardihood, were introduced into the streams of Germany, and later into the United States. Known as German carp, they have been alternately protected as of economic value, and condemned as de- the eggs of more valuable structive to fishes. The young carp show sides bur- nished with gold, and from this charac- patient Chinese and japan- teristic, the ese by selective breeding have produced the gold tish. It is interesting to note that the little fry when first hatched re- vert to the original type, always being black in color. YVith fanciers small tropical fishes are becoming more popular than gold Fish. These vary greatly in form and color, one specimen often combining many bril- liant hues. 4 They lack the hardihood of gold fish, and so require much more care. The aquarium must be stocked with growing water plants to insure a constant supply of oxygen. The temperature of the waa ter must be kept even and very high, and the quality and variety of food must be carefully considered. One group of these fancy fishes is known as labyrinth fishes, so called because of a rosette for- mation arising from the top of the gill arches. This is used as a breathing or- gan, and filled through the mouth at the surface. Thus they are able to travel overland in search of other streams. A second group are distinguished as mouth breeders, because after the eggs are laid, the mother gathers them into her mouth where she keeps them constantly rolling during the ten days of incubation. This necessitates a period of comparitive fast- ing for the mother. Occasionally, how- ever, she blows the eggs from the mouth, seizes something to eat, and then quickly regathers the eggs. Even after hatch- ing, the young when frightened take re- fuge in the mouth of the mother. In still a third species a nest is made of bubbles blown to the surface by the male. After the female has deposited the eggs in this nest the male drives her away, and guards his little family until they are old enough to care for themselves. In many other species the young are born alive, not hatched from eggs. A. E. Maddock. Note: If the weather continues warm enough, I expect to transfer some of these fishes which were given me by the mem- bers of the Chicago Aquarium Society, to gloom 309 where all are welcome to see em. 'Ld B tw Spring Eirh Stung. The study of birds during the spring is best carried on during April since it is during this month that the most of our common spring birds migrate through this region. There are, however, many of us who do not study birds because we do not know how, where, and when the birds may be found. The methods of studying spring birds are not definite and each can follow his own course. Some prefer to walk about and look for the birds while others pre- fer to sit still and observe the birds as they pass by from tree to tree. Both of these methods have their merits espec- ially the latter during the last spring when the birds are as numerous as they are now rapidly becoming. A held book and held glass are valuable aids in iden- tifying the birds, but these are not alto- gether necessary since the birds may be seen with the naked eye, and with the aid of notes taken when in the field, identi- fied by guide books found in our library. In studying birds one has a choice of many excellent places in and about Chi- cago where there may be found many species of birds. These places consist of the woods and parks, the former be- ing found at a walking or short riding distance. A favorite place for observing birds is the Chicago River, west of Crawford Ave. In this region the spring birds are very abundant. Another place located not far west of the city is along the banks of the Des Plaines River. 'lihese two spots, together with several others, are ideal places, but one does not have to go outside of Chicago as there are many parks inside the city that are excellent places for the study of birds. Of these parks, Lincoln Park is within a few minutes ride and is very good when there are iew people. If one rides far- ther, he can go to jackson l'ark which is considered the best place to study birds inside of the city. This is true es- pecially on Xllooded Island, where the April immigrating birds are abundant. XVhen one desires to study birds he must know the approximate date when the birds appear, since all birds migrate at a certain time. The dates of the ar- rival of birds that may be seen at the present time or a little later are given in the following table.

Today zoologists are more fascinated with the richness of the mar- ine fauna. Numerous animal groups of common occurence in the sea were found to be missing in fresh water, and the as- tounding richness of the tropical and sub-tropical oceans with which Euro- pean investigators came early in contact on the shores of the Mediterranean and in the new lands of the tropics, entirely overshadowed the life that had been found hitherto in ponds or ditches, Many marine forms were not only dazzling in beauty of form and in the brilliancy of their color, but also proved to be con- necting links in the evolution of the plant and animal kingdom. The quieter, more unassuming fresh water forms in the temperate regions could make no corresponding impression on the minds of the observers. So the scientific world went to the seashore to study and every- where along the coast of Europe and even in the tropical islands are found the vacation resorts of scientists. The interest in the life of the sea led to the foundation of marine stations, among which that of Naples was the First. To Bohemia belongs the honor of having had the first building for lacus- trine investigation, in the form of the B0- hemian Portable Laboratory which is un- der the direction of Professor Fritsch of the University of llraguc. In Finland is the laboratory of Esborliifii on one of the small islands which, although pri- marily a marine station, is located so near bodies of fresh water that it has conducted valuable investigations of fresh-water fauna. In Germany all types of stations are represented. Proh- ably the best known fresh water station in the world is that on Lake Pliin in Holstein. f,g?V'i ing But why should the American scien- tist go to Europe to do research work, when we have equally good stations, such as Friday Harbor and XVoods-Holl? The biological station at Friday Har- bor is an outgrowth of the work in mar- ine cxploration carried on for many years by the University of XVashington and other institutions. In 1904, a mar- ine station was established at Friday Harbor on the Island of San juan, Arch- ipelago, and since then sessions have been held there every summer. It is un- der the direction of Professor Trevor Kincaid of the University of Vlfashing- ton, and Professor T. C. Frye and Pro- fessor XV. J. Baumgarten of the Univer- sity of Kansas. The purpose of this station is to en- able biologists to pursue their researches on marine life in one of the richest tields for biology on the coast of the United States-to enable teachers and students to study animals and plants in their nat- ural habitants, to serve the state of XVashington and the Northwest through the study of its commercial forms of marine animals and plants, and to serve as a meeting place for biologists to af- ford mutual inspiration and exchanges of ideas. i This station located in the northern section of Puget Sound, surrounded by waters unrivaled for, their wealth of ocean life, is an ideal place for the study of marine organisms, while the land Hora and fauna of the islands present a favorable opportunity for the study of many striking species of birds, plants, and insects. In the spring of 1910, a commodious building was constructed which contains upon the main floor a general laboratory for class work, the office of the director and a store-room for two large salt wa- ter aquaria. The second door is occu- pied hy a lecture room, and nine rooms for the convenience of persons engaged in research work. The third story is utilized as a store room and drying loft. The equipment of the Station includes microscopes and general laboratory THE FORUM Fifteen glassware, and a small library on the biology of the Pacific northwest. A steamer is employed to transport parties to points of vantage among the islands as well as to manipulate the dredge used in exploring the deep waters of the channels and bays in search of bottom forms. The cost of living is minimized as far as possible. Tent houses are pro- vided as sleeping quarters at about 56.00 for six weeks, whether occupied by one or more persons. The tents are IOXI2 feet. Table board is furnished at 34.00 or 84.50 per week. This is gauged over a period of years in such a manner that the Station neither gains nor loses. The same is true of tents and their equipment. The cost of a stay of six weeks at the station, including the incidental ,fee of SI0.00 board and lodging need not exceed 5550.00 A person doing research work without the help of an instructor does not pay the incidental fee. A maximum of six semester hours of credit may be U. S. Fish Commission Buildings Wood's Hull. earned at the Station during a session and these will be accepted at par by any of the affiliated institutions. The biological station at VVoods-Holl, Mass., is situated on the north shore of Vineyard Sound at the entrance of Buz- zard's Bay. This location gives it an exceptional advantage for study and research. The shore is varied by necks, points, bays, and islandsg there are also numerous fresh water ponds and lakes in the vicinityg and there is no muddy river or city sewage to pollute the sea water. The flora and fauna are excep- tionally richg the climate is especially favorable for summer work: and the place is free from the distractions of fashionable resorts. The laboratory is a four story brick building and two and three story wooden buildings, which are supplied with run- ning sea and fresh water, gas and elec- tricity. The library has many reference books and the most important journals on zoology, physiology, and botany. The supply department is equipped with boats, including a steam launch, two gas- oline motor boats, and a number of row boats, wharves, Hoating cages, fish traps, two of which are in operation through- out the summer months, seines, dredges, tangles, trawls, and tow nets. A limited number of rooms are sup- plied by the laboratory to its members at prices ranging from 51.00 to 34.00 per week a person. Room accommodating one or two persons may be obtained near the laboratory at prices varying from 52.00 to 36.00 per week and up. Board is supplied to members of the laboratory and of the United States Bureau of Fish- eries Station, and their immediate fami- lies at The Mess, at 55.00 per week. The price to others is 57.00 per week. The number of students that can be ac- commodated in the laboratory is limited and therefore no one should reach Woods-Holl without previous correspon- dence. The fee for each of the courses in botany or zoology, as well as for a table for an investigation under supervision is 550.00 Students are expected to sup- ply their own microscopes, slides, and cover glasses, and a good sectioning ra- zor. Courses of instruction run from the last week in june to the second week in August. Facilities for research are available throughout the year, and a col- lector furnishes any material desired, if it is ordered beforehand. Practically all the colleges and universities give full credit for work done in botany and zo- ology at VVoods-Holl. The amount given varies with the course taken and whether or not an examination is passed. There are two courses offered in bo- tany practically every year. One is a course in the morphology and taxonomy of Algae, and the other in Physiology and Ecology of Marine Strand and Bog vegetation. A course in zoology is de- signed for those who have had previous training in zoology and for those having a professional interest in the subject, Research in biology was one of the Sixtee n THE FORUM tirst subjects to receive consideration at the Carnegie Institution of lVashington. They leased a ten-acre tract of land at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, New York. On this tract is a main labora- tory, an office building, animal house. Director's residence, greenhouses, pig- eon houses, cat house and a house on Goose Island together with some minor buildings for conducting investigation on plants and animals in a state of isola- tion. The station is under the direction of Professor Davenport. This Institu- tion also owns lwenty-one additional acres within a mile of its main buildingsg tifteen miles of this are wooded, and the rest is used as an experimental gar- den, They also have a laboratory at Tus- con, Arizona, equipped for the special needs of botanical research in desert areas. The principal laboratories of the Department of Marine Biology are located at Logger Head, Kentucky, and Tortugas, Florida. The Tortugas lab- oratory is one of the best equipped trop- ical marine stations in the world. The object of these stations is to pur- sue intensive studies upon problems of the tropical ocean. They otl'er distin- guished investigators exceptional oppor- tunities to pursue those researches, for which the tropics atford peculiar advan- tages. The result is that during the past ten years, forty-nine investigators have made one hundred and eight visits to these laboratories and many discoveries in biology and geology have resulted. The Marine Biological Station at San Diego, California is as yet very small, but there are possibilities of opening this station as an educational as well as a research station. Through investigation in the case ot' those stations which do not carry on di- rectly any educational work and through the teaching of those which do conduct summer instruction courses, the teaching of natural history throughout our coun- try will be greatly improved. Alma Lorentzen. Laboratory and Tent. Houses at Friday Harbor, Puget Sound, Wash, Ellie 3lanitnr'a , wifes Glmina' Nurse Girl. Y first and only working experi- ence was as nurse girl for a pair of twin babies. When I began to think about taking work, I nev- er dreamed of the experiences that were to be mine. iVhen school closed a year ago last summer, I thought I should like to work at something, partly for the thrill of really earning some money, and partly for the sake of keeping out of mischief. To find a position, I diligently read the advertisements. I was soon mortified to find that I could not qualify for any of the positions I read about. I was not an experienced pastry cook, nor a marcel waverg I could not con- verse in Polish, nor retail fish. My family began to tease me. and began to address me with much deference as my dear .ruIr.rIndy, my dear ti'n.vl1lady, and even esteemed scrnbmissus! It seemed to me that the Fates had con- spired to keep me jobless, though I was willing to do even the humblest kind of work, just to be doing it, But finally, after many futile applications for the coveted work, I found this position as nurse girl to the twins. If the attractive features of the posi- tion were to be deliberated upon, I fear another in my circumstances would not have taken it, In the first place, my mis- tress was a janitor's wife, and lived in the basement of one of the large Hat buildings of Rogers Park. In the second place, the babies were only seven weeks old, and were promising vocalists. And in the third place, I was to be rewarded for my labors with the munificent sal- ary of two dollars a week! The pros- pects were indeed brilliant, and the joke tickled my family immensely. But I was determined to stick it out for only a week. So I packed and left. After I had settled my belongings in the corner of a tiny clothes closet in my temporary home, I looked about to in- vestigate things. The mother of the twins was a comfortable Swedish woman with leanings toward dressing sacks and chewing gum. Since she was always cheerful, and'alxvays considerate of me, however, I soon forgave her her haug- ing braids and heelless slippers. The father was a riddle to me. I was in his employment, and I was a ridicu- lously unimposing specimen, still he always said, Yes, ma'am, and, No, ma'am, when he had occasion to speak to me, and he said, Ma'am, earnestly. The first time I heard if, I must have opened my eyes anrl mouth in surprise. But afterwards I decided I might just as well be the little queen that he so re- ligiously made out that I was: so I ac- cepted his queer politeness with good grace. The little boy of the family, a talka- tive piece of nine years, gave me inter- esting work to do from the first moment he saw me. If his new sisters fwhom he adnredj were safely sleeping, he was sure to bring me cardboard and crayons to draw him a circus poster. My stock of circus ideas was rather limited at first, but later I fell into the habit of not- ing pictures of elephants, clowns, mon- keys, and dancing maids, so that, when Henry's old poster got rained on in the yard, I could make him a new one. I have come to the babies-those bu- bies! I can feel their little fingers on mine now in their clinging grasp, ex- pressive of their dependence on the mercy of their holder. How many times, with one little weight on each arm, Ihave sat in the deep rocker in the kitchen, singing the dear things to,sleep! QAnd their musical education was in no way slightedg I sang them everything from Italian street ditties to Saint Saens' Dead March. J Before long, I was able to distinguish between Frances and Gladys-Gladys was a few hairs more bald headed. The greatest good that I derived from my working experience was the love for little children. I had al- ways lotted them, but not in the yearning manner in which I must need love the lizghtee H THE FORUM twins. At times, it seemed I should crush them with the strength of my de- votion. Once I found it necessary to tackle a pan of potatoes, and scrape vig- orously at them, to keep myself from picking Frances up while she lay sleep- ing. There is another phase of my experi- ence that I must not forget. This was what I saw of democratic Chicago people through the eyes of a servant When I took the babies out in their cab, and sat on the beach watching the bath- ers and strollers, I learned a new thing, In my capacity as daughter of the house at my own home, I had always felt that all people were equal as that pillar ot' our society, the Declaration of Inde- pendence boldly states. But in my ca- pacity of working girl, and of domes- tic at that, and of a janitors' wifes' do- mestic at plus tlmt, ffor every one in the Park knew and admired the twins, but knew also that they were of plebeian originj I was made to feel that all peo- ple were no! created equal, but that those who lollecl about me were my superiors. They gazed from the tails of their lan- guidly half shut eyes at the nurse girl on the next bench, and unconsciously pictured her as living on a substratum. But in the little nurse girl's heart there was laughter at the childish conceit they displayed. Deeper still, below the laugh- ter there was pity for the narrowness of those, cut off by their position and clothes from the fullness of loving, and shut in helpless unwillingness to open up to the possibility of others being as good as they. I know I shall always treat a servant girl as a sister, for what other than that is she? Altogether, my working experience re- sulted in six real dollars, and in treas- ures of experiences which I would not trade for any amount. Esther Van Goens. IUXTRIOTISM! HE United States has recently formed a new naval reserve de- partment which is to be super- the Government itself. It is not a state organization, it is not militiag it is the UNITED STATES NAVAL RESERVE FORCE. This reserve force is divided into a number of classes, and oflices dealing with these classes have been placed in all the naval training sta- tions throughout the country. Very lit- tle information has been printed concern- ing this branch of the service, and con- sequently I will deal only with that class of which I know most, that one to which I belong, class four, coast defense. In this class, the boy who joins must be at least seventeen years of age and must have his parents' consent, unless he is over twenty-one. The government re- quires that each member of the reserve serve at least three months of the four years for which he enlists. The three months may be spent at the time most convenient to the reserve. He could spend it all at one time, in one summer if he wished, or three weeks at a time for four years or one month each year for three years, or any other way suiting the vised by member best. But three weeks is the minimum and four years is the maxi- mum that can be spent at one time. During the time that the reserve is in active service, he is paid, according to his rating, the same pay as the regular enlisted man. The ratings are from third to first class and it is not difficult for a man to work to a higher rating, than that with which he has joined, and consequently be may receive higher pay. As soon as the reserve has been at the station a few days, he is given training or instruction in the various trades and vocations necessary to naval life. Es- pecially is he trained in that trade in which he does the best work or shows the most interest. He is treated just as an enlisted n1an but with a little more deference. When the reserve has had a month's training at the station it is his privilege to ask to be sent to sea. How- ever, if he wishes, he need not be sent to sea at all, but can remain at the sta- tion if he so wishes. Those reserves or reserves to be who can play band instruments are wel- come indeed, as the band at the training station is short of about forty men. The tContinued on page 27.1 .1 l 17-SHMQ5. .

Don't you notice the ex- quisite freshness of the springtime, the beauty of the bursting buds, the music of the robin's song? Doesn't it all inspire you with a great desire to read poetry? lf so, we are sure you will find the little poems we have printed this month a real joy. It must be confessed that we are heartily proud of the poetry the freshmen have con- ll tributed. It is also a satisfaction to us to note the interest they have taken in our pagesg for once, it can be said that we really have more good material than we can use. Do you wonder we are proud, Freshmen? We were so well pleased with the interest taken in our Collectors' Comer that in this issue we have expanded it to a full page, all of which is required for the ad- mirably worked out article, entitled Indian Arrowheads. Surely collections that lead to information of this kind, are worth while. The response to the appeal for stories was gratifying, but it was extremely difli- cult to decide which were the best. Some of the stories were excellent as to lot, but the grammar and manner of handling plot were at fault. In others, the grammar and style were goody but the plots were not original. ln the selection of stories, gram- mar, punctuation, spelling, style, and plot all have to be consideredg and too much stress cannot be laid on these essential points if students are anxious tu see their work in print. The successful stories have been written by: John Goessele, Abe Brown, Aileone Colby. Because of lack of space we are withholding Aileene Colby's story until next month.

Because word problems in algebra really apply the reasoning of arithmetic problems to the unknown quantity, fol- low this advice from Mr. Wilson :- In 'word' problems be certain you understand the meaning of each word and the problem as a whole, before at- tempting its solution. Think of similar problems in arithmetic in forming alge- braic equations. After you have solved the equation, remember what you have heard Mr. Crofts say about proofs 1- First get the idea clearly that a proof is to enable you to find out whether your solution is correct. Second, acquire the habit of making a rapid mental proof, particularly in all work with equations. To quote Mr. Jenkins :- Aim, in factoring, to acquire the ability to recognize the various groups and to handle them in a rapid manner. Do you know a factor when you see one? Mr. Xvitcraft says:- In reducing fractions, we cancel fuc- tors, not tvrnix. XVhy? When you come to quadratic equa- tions, be sure to gain a thorough knowl- edge of the subjectg for Miss Moser says:- More trouble arises in 2A geometry from a lack of knowledge of IA algebra than of 2B geometry. Learn quadratics and radicals thoroughly in IA if you wish success in Zlid year mathematics. L. E. Christman. for iauws From Sem: Sluarlu Who Have Pre- ceded You.

Now every- thing is clear and it's all due to the plans we worked out. -lust a little care- fulness here and there and tlte whole problem became clear. You, too, can possess this clear mind, if you follow these helpful and practical suggestions for algebra problems. In order to solve an algebra problem, you must do several things: I. Read through the problem. 2. See what the unknown quantity is. 3. See what relations exist between it and other numbers. 4. Let X equal the Ist unknown. 5. Find an equation to suit the problem. No matter what kind of an algebra problem you want to solve, there is al- ways some unknown quantityg whereas, in arithmetic, you deal with all known facts, To overcome this difficulty, if it is one, First read through the problem as stated in the book, seeing what the unknown quantity is and what relations exist between it and other numbers. Since there is always some unknown quantity, let it be represented by X. Then. proceed to find an equation that will suit your problem. If you do this I am sure you will have no ditheulty in solving algebraic equations. - z 1 2-22-I I-I - ff . 5- - A 4: 4' 421.3 Puzzles and Puzzle Pictures.

It was the day of the opening game of the season and 30,000 frantic base- ball bugs turned out on a chilly, damp April day to see the first game between the lllolves and the Buccaneers. These two teams were doped out by the scribes as the best bets for the championship. After a scrappy practice on the soggy Field and the customary opening day's frolics, the game began. The First five innings passed unevent- fully, each team getting a hit, and se- curing a walk. The game had settled into a pitching duel. Birdie Wheeler, however, starting the sixth for the Bucks, smashed out a clean safety. Mort lN'illiamson sacrified him to second, and Birdie flew home on a single to right by Dirk Grant. The lVolves went out in one, two, three order in their half of the sixth. The seventh and eighth inn- ings passed with no runs and a hit apiece for each team. The ninth inning started with Rip Jourdan, the Vtlolves' pitcher, blowing up and passing both Leonard and Douglas. Fisher then made a neat sacrifice. XVith men in second and third and one down, .lourdan tightened and struck Cofall and O'Neil out. -Iourdan and Forrest opened the ninth for the Vtlolves by fanning. The crowd got up then and started for the exits: but a pass to Danny Simpson and a single by Schaeffer brought them back again. A safety hy Mueller scored Simpson and sent Schaeffer to second. Then jack Xllelch, the league's leading swatsman last year, sauntered to the plate. So far, he hadn't touched the ball, but with the count three and two, after fouling six balls, hc connected with one of Babe Young's best slants and sent a slashing single to deep center, scoring Gilmore, running for Schaeffer, with the winning marker.

For -lim, a farmer friend, and I, while visit- ing the country, were attracted by two well greased poles topped with little flags. jim informed me that all one had to do in order to win applause and the prize was to bring down from its lofty perch one of the little banners. So, upon jim's invitation, I readily agreed to en- ter the lists with him, quite forgetting my mother's caution not to soil my blouse. But the upward journey was not so easy a task as I had thought it would beg and I soon found out, to my despair, that for every upward climb I made, I'd make two downward-a very discouraging thing. My opponent was gaining steadily on me. Indeed, I was only a little way up when he came down like lighting, hit- ting the ground with a heavy thud. I was very much puffed up at his sudden descent. Then, I felt myself slipping! And lo and behold, I was sitting oppo- site my adversary-on the ground! VVe then started to climb again. After a rapid succession of falls in which both of us participated, I pantingly reached the top, in the lead of jim. I opened my arms to grab the Hag, but down I came, like Mercury, hitting the ground with an awful hump! The exciting contest was finished amid the mirthful roar of the farmers. My friend was the winner, for profiting by my mistake, he did not take his arms from the pole to seize the flag. He used his mouth. A. Brown, 306.

Into the lunchroom, hungry, one day, Came a young lady most happy and gay, When she had reached for her noodles and pie A long arm intruded which caused her to sigh.

One summer while visiting my aunt and uncle who lived on a farm, my aunt took my little sister to search for eggs. They procured all the eggs they could, and then my aunt chased a. hen oif her nest. My sister ran up to the nest and took the egg. As the hen had just been sitting on it, it was warm. My sister exclaimed: Oh, Is'e found a hard boiled egg! Geraldine House, 252. SPRING FLOWERS.

WO friends and I started in an auto across the mountains to Al- pine, Texas, in search of laborers, Af- ter hiring a Mexican and his wife, we started back for the valley. About noon time we stopped at Ft. Davis, about mid- way across the mountains. When we were about twelve miles from Ft. Davis, we got stuck in the sand in the creek bed. In many places there were walls of rock one hundred feet high. The canyon we were in was very narrow and winding. In the creek bed there were great boulders. Some were so large that they could not he moved out of the road that ran along the creek. Having found that we could not get out without help, my two friends and the Mexican started back to Ft. Davis. leaving the Mexican woman and me there in the auto. XVhile we were wait- ing for help, a ranch man came by in a wagon, with his family. I-Ie said that he would like to help us but he wanted to get his family out of the canyon as soon as possible. It never dawned ou me at the time what he meant. Late in the afternoon it began to sprinkle: so I put up the top and side curtains. It happened that this car had no wind shield. The Mexican woman and I sat in the back seat, in order to avoid the rain that was coming in at the front. By this time, it was raining so hard we could hardly hear each other speak. Suddenlv the woman gave a wild shriek, I looked up and saw a great wall of water coming down on the auto, I 25 leaped over the front seat, and then out upon the hood. .-Xt the same time I was trying to help the woman out. That great wall of water hit the car while I was on the hood. The next moment I found myself fighting for my own life in that swift mountain stream. I managed to grab an out-cropping tree and pull my- self up on the steep bank. The poor Mexican woman held on to the straps that held down the top, and was carried down the stream. The last I saw was the car turning end over endg first on the radiator, then on the rear end. The woman came up twice with the car, but the third time the car came up alone. I shall never forget those frantic screams. I did not have on my shoes, as I had taken them off while trying to get the car out of the creek. On my bare feet I started out for a Mexican house a few miles away. The creek being Filled with water I had to climb over the canyon. Long after dark I came to the house. I had traveled about five miles over these steep hills with bare feet. Upon arriving at the house, I had to take ot? a picket from the fence to guard ot? the two dogs. I found no one at home, so I broke in through a window. I started a tire and dried my wet clothes. About ten o'clock that night, the Mexi- can came home and found me. The next morning we found the en- gine and chassis some three miles down stream. The body of the Mexican wo- man was founcl Five miles down the creek. R., Bauhgman. Twenty-ri.z' THE FORUM TODAY AS YESTERDAY. HE Doctor, after bowing a cheery good day, to the woman at the door who had just intrusted the life of her child to his care, descended the stairs and was about to cross the street when a hand Firmly clutched him by the collar. Turning he viewed a swarthy la- borer with a pair of evil, blood shot eyes, shining like coals of fire from under his ragged cap and above his ashy white suit and shoes that proclaimed him to be a workman on tl1e unfinished school building in front of which stood the pro- fessional 1nan's car. Quickly a leering crowd uttering profound oaths sur- rounded them forming, what seemed al- most like a wall of shaking Fists. Ye cheat! they yelled, holding up three fingers and then talked in shrieks to one another in their foreign tongues. A street car that was about to pass stopped and the motorman and conduc- tor tried to drive the rioting crowd back but nothing seemed to prevail on them until a mounted policeman rode into their midst, causing them to retreat a few steps, Then after the doctor had been released and the noise hushed a bit the authority of good order demanded, NVhat is the meaning of this? XVith a threatening expression on his angry face one workman acting as spokesman rushed forward and in broken English exclaimed, Me end me mein here, then running his tongue over his parched lips, after Ending the needed English word continued, 'ivont nioonee, pay! pay! wait therea daya noo. Turning to the Doc- tor he fairly yelled, l'aya, paval the n1oonee, and when he pointed to the grip in the Doctor'shand, both the police and Doctor became aware of the fact that the mistake n1ade was due to the fact that the professional man carried a bag resembling the kind in which money is usually carried and had left his car where the paymaster usually stopped his. Even after the grip was opened the crowd of angered men did not seem to see their mistake, but instead each face wore an expression of contempt, as the doctor's car passed from the sight ot' the unpleasant incident into the thorough- fare and was lost in the endless proces- sion of automobiles. Adelaide McIntyre, Room 233. SPRING MOVING. HE Binkses were moving. To one who has passed through the same ordeal, this statement will bring to mind varying conjectures of horror. The site of the new home was laid near the foot of Hickory Nut street, a location which afforded a good view of the tishing ves- sels and schooners lying in jack Tar Harbor. Mr. Binks had gone along with the moving van to superintend the operation. Mrs. Binks, having deposited her two youngest otfsprings in thc well-worn baby carriage, which she steered with her right hand, with a bird cage in her Since placed left, set out for the new abode. Bobert Binks, junior, had been too near the front of the vehicle, a sud- den bump, occasioned by a stone on the walk, deposited him on the ground, which was moist from a recent spring shower. Mrs. Binks with that calmness habitual to martyrs, set her bird cage down on the walk, picked up her child, whose pedal extremities were now some- what muddy, and restored him to his former position. She then proceeded on her way, accompanied by a solo in E minor, issuing from the throat of the fallen, though restored, infant. The new house was reached without further incident. Arriving there the housewifely soul of Mrs. Binks was stirred to wrath by the sight of her par- lor chairs and new rug lying topsy-turvy on the grass. On the rider's seat of the moving van lounged her eldest hope monotonously intoning his English les- son for the morrow. Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears, came faintly to the ears of his mother, who now stood near the van and admonished the movers to lay her best company china down with care. ' Mrs. Binks then moved on into the house where she found the cat, dirty and disreputable, reclining on her tapestried couch. The can, frightened by her sud- den ejaculation of Scat! jumped onto THE FORUM T'weuty4.re'uen a neighboring sideboard, knocking over in its flight an electric light globe, which fell to the Hoor with a crash and lay there in a thousand pieces. Land sakes alive! said Mrs. Binks in anger, seizing the cat and placing it in the wash tub with no gentle hand, if this don't beat all! I told Mr. Binks ex- pressly not to set the globe down, but to hang it up right away. But it only shows what sense he's got. She moved over to the window with menace in her face, but changed to a softer mood when she be- held her spouse sprawling on the grass with the children romping on him and pulling his hair, much to the enjoyment of the new neighbors. I guess that's punishment enough for the poor man, she remarked, as she turned away from the window. Since there is no rest for the wicked, he can just amuse them a few minutes longer while I lie down and rest my tired nerves. Marion Dittman. EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY OF A SOPHOMORE. March 7.-We have decided to have a party in 301, Friday, March 16. Mariam Schumacher was commissioned to obtain 301 for us. March 8.-An extra meeting to-night.

St. Patrick's Day Alice Foy The dancers in green and white cus- tumes made 'such a hit, that at the request of all, they gave it over again. After lis- tening to the lively accompaniments, played by Margaret Wiegand and Agatha Cavallo, everyone felt like dancing the Irish Jig themselves, so the floor was cleared, and all began to dance up an appetite. Later, green and white refreshments of ice-cream, Cakes, and candy were servedg also a spe- cial plate of fumigated cookies, left over from the -Valentine Party, with a huge sign explaining the joke and inviting all to eat. Then followed some more dancing, and finally the merry party very reluctantly departed, all giving Miss Christman and the puils of 258 a vote of thanks for the pleasant afternoon. Besides our friends, whom we invited, the room had the Misses McCarthy, Hatch, Sloan, Jeffry, Matheny, Kracke, Skillen and Mr. Buck as its guests. Ardelle Baker. Agatha Cavalli.

ON'T you think wc have a lot of beginnings, chances to give up the old ways that didn't satisfy and en- ter into newer, better paths that lead towards our ideals? Therc's September, when you begin a new school yearg there's New Year's when all people are openly and hoastfully turning over new leaves: there's the first of every school month when what Sennite d0esn't plan to improve on his previous tive weeksg thcre's February, the beginning ot' a set- ond semesterg there are our Mondays! and now there's xjvring. Spring! Oh doesn't that seem the best? Vile can be mighty thankful for those other beginnings-what should we do without them? Hut somehow this seems so wonderful. All the world. all nature, is with us, The pure, drifty clouds, the blue, high over our wind- freshened hair, the hints of green in the lrccs, the twittering from cheery, fea- thered throats, those are the things that have called into being the spring songs of minstrels, these are the things that open our eyes and our cars and our hearts. And we fling hark our heads and drink in the Spring. But alas, in spite of our brave inspired plans we may seem to fall hack into the old ways and lose sight of our true goal. Hut so it is with the spring. The rain drihbles down: the sky grows grey and monotonous, the birds sit shuddering in THE FORUM Twenty-nine hidden crannies. The life that was joy seems gone, all is at a standstill until- the sun gleams forth again, as a faint breath of April odors brushes our cheeks with its glad promise of loveliness and lo! the spring is here once more and we see that it was here all the lime. So we take a deep breath to go on toward our hilltop, eyes lifted to the infinite blue which the clouds can only hide, watch- ing for the sun to burst through and cry Here am I! GONE ARE THE DAYS. Such a dearth of stories and poems never was seen. We have some, as you see, but what a contrast to the days long ago, when we were overwhelmed with printable material, and the weighty work of choosing among all the worthy manu- scripts was enough to make an editor's head swim! Is it possible that the high cost of living has forced you to with- hold contributions until such time when we must pay you with checks, instead of glory? Or are there no longer any gen- iuses in Semi? Perhaps they have all graduated in former classes and the Forum will have to wait for its stories until future Septembers shall bring in their host of new hopefuls and discover new blood more ardent in the field of let- ters than that in the present classes. HOSE who are interested in the Freslnnan Department of the Forum, will be glad to learn how favor- ably it compares with the Freshman De- partments of other high school papers. Out of seventeen magazines, coming from various places in the United States, only two give any space whatsoever, to the beginners. One, the Ypsi-Sem, from Ypsilanti, Michigan, allows one column of each number to be filled with short news items, concerning the fresh- men. The other, the 'I'ekanhi, from the Tilden High School of Chicago,, de- dicates the last October number to the first year pupils. But, unlike the Forum, the articles in the uTClC3l'll'lln are writ- ten about freshmen, rather than by freshmen. In the Forum there is a great deal of variety in the choice of subiects, for instance, editorials, stories, jokes, and poems, while in other freshman sec- tions there are only short comments on happenings in the class. Here, members of a committee made up of first year people, write interesting articles, collect jokes, and urge classmates to contribute to the department. Surely no other high school has such an enthusiastic group of young people working tigether. At least seventy-tive per cent of the nther high school papers have no fresh- man division at all, therefore the lucky Senn freshmen ought to work all the harder to make the success of the depart- ment permanent. Our policy of having specialty num- bers seems to be liked. As we have been told concerning themes, 'l'here must be unity. An absence of unity causes in- coherence. Incoherence causes a 1'oor. So since it is spring and all the little bugs, fishes, and birds are beginning to wiggle their toes for Fmsi, we think it is a psychological moment to introduce a Fish and Fowl number. Our Signs of Spring number has for its frontispiece a very artistic and accurately made drawing of an apple blossom. It was done by Thurman Campbell, a 3B, and has been very high- ly praised by its critics. It represents the very best sort of scientific drawing because of its accuracy and firmness of outline. In the foyer of a great and beautiful building Filled with hurrying crowds is a little box. But this little box is seldom visited and scarcely noticed by anyone, for, sorrowful to say, it has not the gift of speech. However, in compassion for it, its friends have given to the unnoticed box an insignia of honor, which it dis- plays proudly-L-O-C-A-L-S, that all may know its purpose in the busy life surrounding it. But few notice this em- blem, so the pages devoted to its cause in the magazine of this building have become fewer and fewer, until- But hist! a secret! If you will but drop into that little box rare bits of hu- mor, or laughable little anecdotes-it will rise once more in new vigour and re- main in its allotted place forever. Ellie Qlritir SXT it rather unnecessary to make the spaces between the walls and the pedestals holding the busts of Dr. Senn and Abraham Lincoln receptacles for books and papers during the lunch hour? Such actions on the part of Senn pupils cannot but lessen their respect for these great men. Could we not apply our slogan Keep Senu Clean and be more thoughtful in these matters? The evil spirit Carelessness needs to be over- come here at Senn. Keeping pace with other departments of the school, Miss Hatch has held an exhibit of the work done by theidrawing classes of both day and night school. All the drawings shown were copies of still life and living subjects in pencil and charcoal. Original ideas for art posters, magazine and book covers and commercial art as well, were worked out in color. A miscellaneous section con- tained house plans and jewelry designs. There surely could have been no more fitting time for the Board of Education to institute a weekly Hag salute! But are we really showing all our patriotism when we saunter out and watch the drill? Certainly the boys would not for- get to remove their hats nor would the girls forget to lift their hands if they realized that this flag salute is a public demonstration of our patriotism. Carry- ing out the ceremony with all the dignity that it demands would unconsciously stir us more and make us outwardly more patriotic. lt is not that we lack true American spirit, but we are imleed lax in convincing others of our sentiments. Since the Hag salute is military in form why should we not march out and back and stand at attention in true soldier style? How much more it would mean to the memory of Dr. Semi! Senn is nearly ready to add to her rapidly growing list of successful enter- tainments. The Glee Club Concert will be given in April and the following month the Dramatic Club will present l'An American Citizen. XVe are becoming more grateful to the Scnn sYt'rr'x every week. XVith each issue they add some new feature to their small tin sizej publication and the ex- hibit iu the lobby of the Evolution of a Serin Notes has been very thorough, and, of course their results have proven wor- thy of the work. Could we have ever attended a more patriotic assembly fand without a word of war, tool than the one held March 22? Everyone was amazed and delighted with the performances of the boys' special gym class and the tumbling class. Then Lieutenant Frink gave us a brief but inspiring talk on what the American flag should mean to us all. And to cap the climax the girls of Miss .Ieffry's dancing class performed a very difficult and exceedingly beautiful Marching Roundel. This drill was considered good enough to be repeated for the mov- ies. In the wood shop may be seen sev- eral examples of the cement work be- ing done by the 4th year class in build- ing construction. One of the best speci- mens of this work is a solid concrete sun dial stand, In making these arti- cles the concrete is poured into molds in much, the same manner as iron is poured in a foundry. The molds are made of wood and therefore can he used a number of times, but the great diFl-iculty in using these molds lies in the fact that the wood is liable to warp from coming in Contact with the wet cement. The mold is made in sections, and is screwed together, so that it can be taken apart easily. XVhen the mold is completed, a mixture of cement, sand, and water is made and poured into it. After allow- ing it to stand until dry, the mold is taken apart and the u'ork is tinisherl. Has every one noticed that the case of machine drawing examples in the lobby has recently been enlarged, and that quite a number of new pieces have been added? D.

HE Featberweights did not end the season on top, as every one fond- ly expected, but trailing after Marshall. They were really put out of the running by their defeat at the hands of Harrison, for they were beaten before this by Mar- shall and XValler. The temporary loss of Barlow, and the permanent one of Dutch Sturdivant after the first Mar- shall game, formed a great handicap to this bunch who were such scrappers at the beginning of the season, IVe can find no other reason for their failure to win, for this takes care of the lack of teamwork displayed and hence thc loss of the games. Nothing breaks up a team more than the absence of a regular. That is the reason that fellows who are in the habit of llunking can not be on a team in a regular position. Immediately the teamwork is broken upg the smooth order of events becomes a jumble: the players see the other side working the plays that they have always been able to workg and by that time they are com- pletely gone. Not being used to defeat they think that the only thing to do is to get the ball up the lloor and take a shot, trusting to luck to make the basket. Then you're ready to go home. One can talk about going stale. But the other team is just as tired of the game, and when a player does not feel a thrill at going into a game, when he begins to shrink at going in after the ball, and when he has to push himself instead of being carried on by the excitement of the game, he can remember that his op- ponent bas played just as long, and is as sick of the game as be. So we hare re- course again to the alibi that we did not have our regular team. The long and short of the matter is, anyway, that the Feathers did not qualify for the linal round of play. IVe bid Erzinger good 251' ... - I bye, for this is his last year of basket- ball at Senn. He kept his scrapping ability to the end, and when we lose Erts we are losing the best little play- er Senn ever had, XVe know, though, that we will hear from him in college in connection with basketball, and that he will make the lucky college wish that there were more Senns if they all turned out Erzingers. LIGHTS. HE Lightweights arc also through, for their defeat by Marshall for the second time killed all their chances. Up to that time they had a lighting chance, but I4-4, with them on the bot- tom, etfectually squelched that. This bunch showed much better form in the semi-finals than in the preliminaries, lin- ishing second in the Northern Section. At least, they showed Lane up by beat- ing them in both semi-,tinal games, after being beaten the same number of times in the lirst round of play. In the case of the Lights the dope was all upset. They won from Seburz and Lane and then were beaten by Marshall, When they went out to Schurz again, they nat- urally expected to beat that team which they had swamped I8-4. But Marx was unable to play, which broke up the team- work, and they lost, Then they came back and beat Lane, who had just beaten Schurz, A big surprise was pulled when Lane beat Marshall, but when Senn went up against the latter team, they were swamped. Bobby Herron has the distinction of making the only basket Senn ever made against Marshall when he dropped in a pretty one from the middle of the tloor in the last game. By graduation, Sennloses almost the whole team. Marx, XVeleh and Price graduate in june, Maloney graduates in 34 THE FiQRUM W Tlnrty-fwe Februaryg and Baker will be the only veteran left for next year's team. We lose Herron, Anderson and Nagle also this june. TRACK. ENN sure is slated to cop tl1e next interscholastic track meet if predictions based on results in the First one of the season are worth anything. For in that meet, Senn, for tl1e first time in its history, almost carried home a win- ning shield from an interscholastic And we'll say close when the score was 25 5-6 to 24 I-3, and this score hung doubtful until the pole vault and high jump were decided in the wee, small hours of the morning. In the pole vault we had Tony Van Kirk and Bob Hunt. Tuny came second by soaring up around the celestial bodies, three inches closer to heaven, and anoth- er one tied for fourth. Hunt was cer- tainly in form that night, for he went ten feet and added two more points to Van Kirk's three. But still Hyde Park went us one half better, taking five and one half points to our Eve. The high jump resulted in a tie between three fellows, Baker of Hyde Park, Figus of Lake View, and johnson of Senn. The bar registered 5' Q , which we would call pretty high, although the official measure- ment said 5' 75: , Anyway it proved a sticker for Rube and for the other two also. Senn and Hyde Park each re- ceived three points in this event, which killed our chances, for we needed a first to win the meet. Brigham took a second in the fifty yard dash, and he was right on the heels of Dowding of Bowen, a person by whom it is certainly no disgrace to be beaten. Then old Monty Barnes copped the high hurdles, going over them in perfect style, and Rube Johnson came second. Two surprises were un- corked about this timeg namely, Line Noelle's speed in the 440 vard dash and Larson's ability in the mile. All in all, the bunch put up a mighty stiff fight, and it was tough to lose such a close tight. But there are others coming, and just wait- Zellar was the only junior who took a place. Come on out, you fellows under sixteen, and join Semis best track team since the school started. Following is a summary of the events: Senior Summaries.

Yes, we have read of twins before, And you have done the same, But, listen, we shall tell you more, And also take the blame. The heroines are twins this time, Named Josephine, and Maude, The plot now thickens with the rime! Arrives the hero Clawd. The girls could not be told apart, They fooled their teacher, too, Whose name was I Am Very Smart, His letters were R. U.! Besides resemblance of the girls, Alike they dance, and walk, They wear their hair in ribboned curls, The same they sing, and talk. It was the coldest day in May, One twin was at the school, The other twin was far away, Contra-attendance rule. Who was in school,':1nd who was out, The teacher did not know, Yes, one was there-without a doubt, He guessed that it was Jo. Next day at school, both girls were there Professor Smart did say, O, Josephine-please tell me where, You studied yesterday. And Josephine replied in awe, Why I was here at school, I do not disobey a law, And never break a rule. Professor Smart was much amazed, The hero comes-it's Clawd. Said he-'thats right-you're wrong, and blazed- The absent one was Maude. Girl's basketball was then in season, Who could the forwards be? Yes-Jo and Maude for every reason- Clawd was the referee. Professor Smart, enthusiast, Kept busy keeping score Both sisters shot the baskets fast A Waterloo once more. Held call- Who made that basket, Clawd? Both girls would shout their name, He chalked at random 1Legal Fraudj But be was not to blame. Then came to him u brilliant thought, To tell the twins apart, He labelled them-thus they were caught, Hats off-Professor Smart. So now poor Maude in grassy green, ls decked from hend to toe, And chalky white wears Josephine School colors-don't you know! Then Clawd, pleased with his teacherxs scheme, Announced with voice-so treble, Professah Smart, with my esteem, Accept this cotton medal. Thus ends our tale of twins at Senn, You know them-guess until You're lsure you're right-come tell us tien, You'll knowg we're sure you will. E. A. Bentley, R. 287. J. R. McKnight, R. 209.
