But make allowance for their doubting too: ll' you can wait and not he tirecl lmy waiting, Ur lmeing lied about, don't deal in lies, Ur being hated don't give way to hating.

To infinite patience and a little wisdom, carefully strained through profitable experience, add a brimming measure of the milk of human kindness, and season well with the salt of common sense. Boil gently over a friendly tire of line enthusiasm, stirring constantly with just dis- cipline. VVhen it has lmoilecl long enough to he thoroughly lmlenclecl, transfuse it hy wise teaching to the eager mind of a restless boy, and set away to cool. To-morrow he will greet you-an educated man.

june 1921 THE llirienhzhip Friendship, one soul in two bodies. -PYTHAGURAS. What is the secret of your life asked Mrs. Browning of Charles Kingsley, tell me that I may make mine beau- tiful toon? He replied, UI had a friend. Asleep, awake, by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking meg No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny. -JOHN BURROUGHS. A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Eefore him I may think aloud. -M EM ERSON. When musing on companions gone We doubly feel ourselves alone, Something, my friend, yet we may gain, There is a pleasure in this pain, It soothes the love of lonely rest Deep in each gentler heart impressed. -JVIARMION. This world that we're living in Is mighty hard to beat, You get a thorn with every rose, But ain't the roses sweet? -f-JAMES WIIITCOMB RILEY. CLASSIC Page Twenty-five QBLII' EIJHE A is for Allingham, first boy in lform V I-le's always alert and very much alive. C stands for Craig who is next in line He is sleepy in the morning but at noon looks fine. Also for Campbell, this symbol doth stand In physical training he's simply grand. G is for Glazier and when a thing he knows He knows that he knows it wherever he goes. H for Hyde round whom a XVebb is winding VVhich in the future may prove quite binding! M for McLellan, McNay and McLay, All as great teachers will go forth some day. R stands for Rennie, one in our class VVho is always willing to sing alto or bass. S in our form is well represented Schmidt, Schenck, and Smith have all attended. Each does his bit in current eventsg They are men of strong views and serious intent. V is for Veitch who plays more than he works, Yet when he goes teaching we know he won't shirk. W is for VVilson who is number two hundred Many a time at young hopefuls he's volleyed and thundered. Here ends the class of wonderful boys Many their worries, many their joys. Out in the world they'll take their place And measure up well with the best of the race.

june 1921 THE CLASSIC Page Twenty-seven A11 Appreriatinn VVe girls of this year's class feel that our Classic would not be complete without a few words of appreciation of our Dean of Wlomen. Throughout the year, Miss McNally has endeavoured to give us instuctions in the latest methods of teaching. She has been kind, thoughtful, and sym- pathetic, in her capacity as our Dean. In getting us homes and looking after our comforts, she has showed her deep interest in us at all times. ln addition to this, she hasbeen a great help and inspiration to us in planning our Literary programmes. Throughout the whole year, she has been our trusted friend Cfor we think of her as suchj and adviser. Thy soul must overtlow, if thou Another soul wouldst reachg It needs the overtlow of heart To give the lips full speech. Think truly, and thy thoughts Shall the world's famine feed: Speak truly, and each work of thine Shall be a fruitful seed: Live truly, and thy life shall be A great and noble creed. HORATIO BONAR. The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the' right things but enjoy them-not merely industrious but to love industry-not merely learned, but to love knowledge-not merely pure, but to love purity- not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice. JOHN RUSKIN. Halehirinrg Deem not the irrevocable past As wholly wasted, wholly vain lf rising on its wrecks at last To something nobler we attain. A EARS ago these words were written by the pm-1 l,ongfellow, and just at this time it is fitting for Us to cast a backward glance over the past months, and briefly review a few of the events which have marked our year at Normal. Although we are the thirteenth class, we have been a very fortunate one in many respects. :Xt the very be- ginning of our term as student teachers we were privileged to hear our Minister of Education, Hon. Mr. Grant. His address to us upon live educational movements of today was a great inspiration, and we are leaving the training school feeling that we have a staunch and earnest friend, who will be ready and willing to co-operate heartily with us in our problems. Again Fortune especially favored our thirteenth class, for no other year has had the opportunity of seeing the actual working out of the project method of teaching as we have. We all feel that there are great possibilities in this plan, and we are looking forward to a time when the school libraries will be so supplemented, our curriculum and class- room conditions so adjusted that in all elementary schools,
