The first |)erson I struck on this side tlie Ethereal Divide was Rose Fishl)urn, who collected my ticket. I recoji nized her voice when she said, Tickets, pleace. Her comi)anion was Sue Goodrich, who sold souvenir packajjes of Condensed Martian . tmos])here, and other novelties to tourists outljoimd on the . rcturus and other lines.

IVttis is manager: you remember how- well staged that play of ours, years ago. And Lillian Frink, Frank Merrill and Millie Peters are doing a trio-turn between acts. ( Hi, do you know, I heard just the saddest thing before I came across. Helen Har- rington, who married the General Manager of the Vukon- ' uma Oand Trunk, told me that Mrs. I ' .lanche . llen told her — you kiimv Mrs A. has since organized an expedition to start out, in company witii Ma TTaHJs and Lena Frackelton, to discover the Philosojjher ' s Stone — told her that she visited the insane asylum at San Clemente and .saw Forrest W ' hitaker behind the bars of a maniac ' s cell, tearing his hair, and raving, Which girl shall I take to the party! Oh. which girl shall 1 take to the party —the party! Poor fellow! Nearly twenty years of that agony: it ' s a wonder his hair lasts through it all. Speaking of hair, I saw our beloved Prof. Shepardson last month, and he hasn ' t a hair left. He is taking life easv now, and is working out the best methods for raising his future grand- children. I don ' t know whetluT ])edigogically or ])sychologicaIl ' , prob;iblv both. C), yes, and Josejihine liaker is running a compressed air delicacy buffet on the line connecting the pillars of Hercules, so Grace Doss tells me. She just came through — traveling for Adams and .Adams ' , toy- merchants in Pike count , Missouri. Grace says that Hanna Holfe studied under Damrosch, ami now leads an orchestra on annual tours througli Lena FrackletOQ Forrest Whitaker Mrs. Mary Allen Jessie Day Mabel Patterson Mabel Ruddy Mrs. De Grace Ellsworth Guy Stewart Florence Newell Lora Variel Josephioe Baker Grace Doss Banna Rolfe the South Sea Islands ; Edith Miller is her first violin. Grace says she arrived on Jupiter just in time to see a jolly party of old friends just starting off to found a Normal School on a new planet named Blazes. Laura Collins. Xellie Breen, Emily Clark, Dorothy Holmes and Stella Hornheck were among them. Grace said they seemed cheerful enough ; they wouldn ' t take a man along. Speaking of men, )-ou must remember ( )vid Laws. Well, June Luttge. .soon after she graduated, invented a ])uzzle-game called. NMierc is . ndree ' s Balloon? It was a neat little thing; sent two or three people off. And Laws became so wrapt up in it that his friends kidnajsped him and sent him down in a new-fangled diving-bell just over the site of Crusoe ' s sunken island. They couldn ' t get him up again. Say, dear little Cora Boquist lives on Saturn. She married a fellow over there who has charge of the daily excursions to the different moons. Slick proposition, isn ' t it? Each mrwn fitted up as a ])ublic park and connected with its neighbors by narrow-gauge lines. . iid Mamie Darnell is off in Hoco Poco missionarying. Her liusliand was a l rofessional balloonist — but he is dead now! . month ago Jacintha Smith called on me. soliciting for the Home for Indigent Ikichelors. She told me that our Irish beauty. I l!a Redmond, was prospering finely: she had just married her third. Her first was a doctor, her second an undertaker, and her third is a mini.ster. Jacintha also said that Bonnie Travis burst a blood-vessel laughing over one of her own tuiniv sketches. Edith Miller Laura Collins Dorothy Holmes Emily Clark Nellie Breerj Stella HornbecK June Luttge and her life was barely saved. She also said that May Brunson and May McGill are keeping a boarding school at Vladivostok. I forgot to say that on my trip out I stopped over on ' enus and met Nell Randall and Winnie Palmer there. Nell has a position as Professor of Astrology in the ' entisian University, and Winnie occupies the Chair of Interplanetary Law in the same institution. I also saw Gertrude White — .Mrs. lUack, now. She invited me to dine with her, to meet old friends, who turned out to be Mabel Ruddy and Mrs. PoUans. Mrs. P. is r|uite gray — she lectures to the University cooking classes. Mabel looked ruddy and well ; she runs a roof-garden over the concert hall where Mrs. Mary Allen disappeared that night. You know Mrs. A. tried for double-high C. She reached it, but it drew her right up out of sight. She vanished in the direction of . ldebaron, and her friends hope she may have alighted there all right, but there is no way of knowing, as the regular line to that place from Sirius won ' t be open till February next. Mrs. Pollans told me of Grace Stuart. You know, we wondered what had become of her. Well, it seems she traveled with Patterson ' s circus, Mabel P. married a show- man, and made him take her name — as the Silent Lady, for seven years, but she doesn ' t know where she is now. We all spoke of Mrs. De Grace Ellsworth ; a sad fate, truly ! They say that she went partly crazy trying to get some soul to write her an original story for the E.xp. — she finally wrote it herself — and the excitement of graduation week completed her Cora M. Boqulst Mamie Yaroe Jacintha Smitb mfiital collapse. And on .Monday, Fcljruarv 4, 1901. she sat down to write an nrijjinal story, and she has heen writing- ever since. She never suc- ceeded in endinjr the first one she started, and she can be seen to this day, sittine; in four feet of unnumbered sheets of manuscript, fallen on the floor just as she cast them aside. I came through from Venus with our cherished Guy Stewart. He is starrins; ' in seventeen of Jessie Day ' s serio- comic tragedies, [r. ' on X. gave him his first training, you know, and now he is so fine that he travels alone — the whole show in himself. Flora Kerr is his advance agent. Guy said that his most humlile worshiper is .Miss Hagan, who follows him from star to star to witness his uni(|ue presentation of Lohengrin, . ' Comedy in Three Keys. adapted by J. r)a -. These are all the items I call to mind at present. If I think of more I ' ll send them on. This is rather lengthy, but I remember that I ' m not the one who is paying for it. P)y the way, I wonder if I acknowledged the receijjt of your cards. Whatever made you go and marry that man? 1 know you always declared you would take any old stick before you ' d live single, but to change Florence Xewell to Mrs. Snakc-Charmer ! Well, address me at the Improved Ether Waffle Foundry, iii Half-Moon street, Sirius, as there isn ' t enough doing here to make a ])ermanent loca- tion worth while. Yours for Old Times, LoR. ' . Rii-:i.. Ella Redmond Bonnie Travis A Psychological, Pedagogical, Physiological, Biological Phenomenon MRS. DE GRACE One of the strangest incidents that ever came under my knowledge happened this year in tlie Normal School. Miss E. and Miss S., two of the well-known and ]io])uIar young ladies of one of the higher classes, were the principal actors in the tragedy. Miss E. is of fair comjilexion. bright eves of the deepest blue, and lips that are always smil- ing. She dresses in perfect taste, and is a great ELLSWORTH favorite both with the faculty and students. Miss S. is Miss E. ' s intimate friend ; she has a dark olive complexion, large dreamy brown eyes, and brown hair that waves naturall}- over a high lorehcad. She is equally attractive to her friends, but is not so strong a student in her class work. lloth girls left the school for home, at the usual hour, on Wednesday. It was the day of the heaviest rainfall this vear. and as thev started the rain seemed to come in torrents. When they reached Twenty-fifth street, the car was com- jjelled to stop, for the water was so high they coiihl go no further. ' I ' lie girls waited for sometime, but finally determined to try to walk home. They both started to cross to the sidewalk: when half-way across, a telephone pole, carried down the street with terrible force, struck liss E., throwing her violently to the ground. This so frightened her friend that from sheer nervousness she fainted dead away. The girls were rescued immediately, but both were unconscious and almost beyond hope before the ambulance arrived. They were taken home immediately and Dr. S was summoned. Miss 1 ' . had her leg broken in several places. Later comi)lications developed blood poisoning, and death seemed certain. Miss S , after regain- ing consciousness, appeared about as well as usual, and was able to be in school the next few days. lUit one day in pedagogy, it was noticed Miss S had rather a vacant, preoccupied look, while Prof. S ex])lained that the necessary steps to a proper f kiii were frr. and called on liss S to name them. Miss S rejilied, Marshmallows, olives, chicken, vanilla ice and electric lights. Consternation was written on every face. ' T will repeat my question, said the professor, steridy, looking at Miss S , who sat all unconscious of anything unusual. But the repetition brought the same answer. Then our genial professor said, looking sternly at Miss S , The fact of the matter is, Miss S has not been giving close attention, and such care- lessness will not be permitted. Xevertheless, he was troubled. The faculty believe in correlation in all sub- jects, so we were not surprised to see Professors D and S in earnest consultation during the short recess. But when the biology lesson was called, and Prof. D asked Miss S to name the five steps she would use in presenting a biology les- son, and when the same answer was given as in the pedagogy class, we began to feel cold shivers chasing each other up and down our spina! col- unms. We knew something was wrong, and discussed it in groups at noon. Some said Miss S must surely be insane ; others, that she must have fallen in love or been disappointed. That evening Mr. X , the accepted suitor of Miss S called to see her. He also noticed a growing strangeness in his betrothed. It seemed to him she was very cool and unconcerned. When he told of his plans for their happy future. He left earlv, and .Miss S started to retire. Sud- (lenl - the family were startled by a iiiercing shriek, and rushing to Miss S ' s room, they found her raving and tearing her hair in deli- rium. Or. S was called, and after an ex- nmin.Ttion. he pronounced her hupclesslv insane; caused, he said, from the terrible shock to her nerves on the Iav of the stonn She imagined she was her friend, Miss E . and called out piteously, Oh. save me. save me, S ! Xothing would quiet her till they moved her to the home and room of her dying friend. Then, when the mad girl began her raving, it was heart rending to see the faithful friend soothe her with a touch from her almost nerveless hand. . consultation of five eminent professors, Dr. S . Profs. E and D . Mmes. E and M , was held, and it was agreed by all of them that nothing but an operation would ever help Miss S . They felt that the operation was onl}- a faint, but a last hope. Those con- suliing, felt sure that if the brain of the dying girl could be removed and placed in Miss S ' s head, that she would regain her right mind. Mis.s E was told of the decision, and knowing that her own death was so certain, she was only too glad to consent to the operation, if she could in this way, be the means of saving her friend from hopeless madness. The next day. after bidding farewell to her heart-broken father and mother. Miss E said she was ready. The operation was perfonued, and to the joy of the parents and the surprise of the operators, both girls lived and began to im- prove. Blood poisoning was checked, and her parents were overjoyed. She had been miracu- lously snatched from death. This operation was performed during the Thanksgiving vacation. After si.x weeks, both girls were able to be in school again, and both seemd to have lost all memory of the terrible ordeal, through which they had so recently passed. Although Miss S still thought she was IMiss E and iliss E since the operation, imagined herself Miss S . Poor } lr. X ! Before the accident. Miss E found nothing in him to admire. She said, in fact, ho is inclined to slowness, and while he is all right in his way, well! Mr. X re- ciprocated this feeling for Miss E , not a dislike, but rather a negative appreciation. Even S s championship of her friend could not change his opinion. Though he owned to him- self that E was a very attractive girl, if she i ouldn ' t talk quite so much, and hadn ' t quite such an afifection for tennis, and a few other things. After Miss S s recovery, he went again to call on his betrothed, hoping that she w ould re- ceive him as usual. He found Miss E call- ing, and was covered with confusion, and filled with grief to hear the cold replies of ]Miss S and the loving words of Miss E . Poor fel- low, he is almost distracted. But Mr. X is not the only troubled one. for the end of the term is drawing near; and now Miss E does not make the brilliant recitations as in the old days, and Miss S astonishes all with her easy mastery of the grave, abstruse questions of psychology, biology, phys- ics and chemistry. Gray liairs and deep furrows on the faces of these conscientious teachers begin to show. The question of C ' s and P ' s confronts them. Miss E ' s parents claim the C ' s that Miss S lias ijaincd. and Miss S ' s parents refuse to take the recent marks of Miss E . At last the bitter feeling has grown so strong that the two families have determined to let the law settle the dispute, and when our paper went to press, the suit was still pending. De G. W. E. ( ■ y ; A Lament FLORENCE BOOTHE A poem I have tried to write, (Jutil my hair is well nigh white ; F ' or two whole nights I ' ve lain awake. Until the dawn began to break. My meals I scarce had time to eat. My dearest friend.s I could not meet. All this because it took my time, To think of words which would just rli -nie. If such as these are poet ' s trials, They never would have written miles Of verses sweet, which help us meet The trials life throws at our feet. A BITS are like cables strong. Whether they be right or wrong; They are easy, oft to make, lint are always hard to break. CLARA LYNCH, M. D. 3 Yussouf STANLEY F. HOWLAND. MID. D. E. T the door of a tent in the desert A wear} ' traveler stood, ' Twas the tent of an Arab Chieftain, The tent of Yussouf, the Good. ' ■ An outlaw am I on the de.sert. Pursued by an arm of might. I ask thee for food and for shelter, A resting place, for the night. Then opsn wide flew the tent-flap, Welcome, Oh, stranger to thee, For never away from this tent door Was stranger turned hungry by me. Ah ! Bright was the face of the stranger, Who knelt in the desert sand, And who, leaning forward to Yussouf, Imprinted a kiss on his hand. He shared in the feasting with Yussouf, He shared in the evening cheer, He shared in the warmth and the shelter. Of the tent in the desert drear. I cannot leave thee. Oh, Yussouf! Until my crime I confess. For the noble spirit of Yussouf Inspired him with nobleness. In the morn ere the sun had arisen. The host woke his stranger guest ; Take this gold, and the swiftest of horses Awaits thee as soon as thou ' rt dressed. All this hast thou done, noble Yussouf! To the murderer of thy son. Arise, said the good Arab Chieftain, Take thrice the amount, and be gone. Then turning his face to heaven, These words did Yussouf say, May thy spirit sleep in peace, my son. For thou art avenged, this day. The Dreamland Bay LYNLIE ELDRDIGE (Poeta nascitur, iion fit.) HEN the cares of the day are over, My Dreamship comes to me, And in silence we float together Down to the Dream-lit Sea. The voyage is swift and delightful. The world, so far away, Seems a thing of the past and forgotten. As we enter the Dreamland Bay. Hopes which were long since forgotten, Remnants of castles in Spain, All rise to greet us and meet us, As we touch the Dreamland Main. Our childish trusts return to us, — Weary and wordly wise, — As we talk with these friends of Dreamland And look in their (faded) eyes. But at last when the voyage is over And home is reached once more. We still feel the subtle influence Of those friends on the Dreamland Shore. •The beau ' .y of this eem nMniircs di ' i ' p llimight, a careful unal}b m, a till- mcaninu is 8ubtli and liiddi ' ii. A Junior ' s Literary Production yix Decrest Cluim : [ have- stacks and stacks to tell you ! Y(.)U know the day we come up here to the scnool, just a few girls was here, and seemed so quiet and solemn. We pictured grave and dignified students, slowly pacing these long halls. Well, I come up to school Tuesday and I never did get into such a bablile. Ther was only a million or more girls and just one or two boys, but they was just giggling and dancing about like wild people. It was just dredful ! 1 didn ' t know wher to go. Presently, I saw another girl who looked as forlorn as I felt, so I spoke to her. She were a new girl, sure enough, and she sed we must go to Assembly first. We started, but we didn ' t get there, for we got lost, and had to follow the noise to get back to inhab- ited regions again. My friend sed, There ' s a teacher, that cross- looking man with curly hair. Lets ask him. We did, and be smiled ( be didn ' t look .so cross then. I hope I ' ll have him for something, ) and said, Go down this ball, turn to your left, go down this hall, turn to your left, go down that hall, turn to your left, go up stairs, turn to your ri ' jht. and take the same turnings on the next floor. You will sea the Assembly Hall. You will be surprised to know we got there. It speaks well for us, I think. Hut when we opened the doors, 5,000 eyes was turned rite on us. We was so scared we just dropped in the first seat w ' e come to. Yesterday, Mr. Pierce made a speech in which he sed tliat the past year had been the best in our school. I wish I had been there last year. Today I had the lU fullest experience. [ was walking down the hall with Fanny (She is my chum), when she said something so funny, and I laughed. (It ' s the first time I ' ve dared laugh u]) here, too. ) The next thing I knew, some one had rushed out a door and sed, in the most terrible voice and with the azi ' f idlest look : Girls ! girls ! ! dont you know there is no talking in this hall: I just know I ' ll be scratched! Do vou know, they wear Ijloomers here ! There ' s a nice boy hear to! lie is tall and dark. I hope I ' ll meat him. Thev are a going to give us a reception tomor- row. Ta ! Ta ! with bushels of love, M. r.EL. P. S. I went to the reception ! My teachei I told you al)Out is a Senior ! . nd I never knew it ! He ' s nicer than ever ; he smiled again to- day. There is a boy here teaching reading. I guess the regular teacher has not came yet. To the Thanksgfiving: Turkey J JESSIE M. LEWIS.

Will he care to stmt Round the barnvard alone ? J, ' ' Si, ' s-y k . ft Frederick Warde«M Tnesdav, December nth, will stand out as one of the ' c;olden days of the year. because it brought our annual visit from our most valued friend, Frederick Warde. We had known that he was coming, for he had sent his advance agent to our President with the offer to ])resent at the Saturday matinee what- ever play the student-body chose. Hamlet was the one selected, and members of the school were permitted to buy seats at a reduction. As far as it is known, the entire performance came up to the expectations of every one ; and the character of Hamlet fulfilled the highest ideals. The following is taken from the Herald of the 12th: The function of the stage is not only to amuse but to educate and enlighten well. The school, the church and the stage sliould work together to that end. Frederick W ' ardc at the Normal School yes- terday afternoon, in the foregoing words, showed his belief in the good of the stage. Mr. Warde was enthusiastically received by the several hun- dred students, who not only welcomed him with hearty ap])hiuse. but who greeted him with the Chautauqua handkerchief salute. The actor, in his opening remarks, declared that he looked forward with great delight to his annual visits to his friends at the Xormal. ' I am going, said Mr. Warde, ' to tell you something of the educational factor of the drama. I do believe there is not in the world a greater educational factor than the dramas of Shakes- peare. He had an absolute belief in the efficacy of praver. Shakespeare shows us again and again that a wicked deed carries with it its own j)unishment. ' In comparing Hamlet and Macbeth, he said that in the latter we see a picture of a man haunted b}- his crime. He said: ' In Macbeth, Shakespeare gives us a lesson in moral coward- ice. Let your conscience be free and you will have none of the tortures of mind of Macbeth. Mis wife sacrificed her hope of joy in this life and her ho]3e of heaven for the man she loved. As a result, both were unhappy during the re- mainder of their lives. In Romeo and Juliet we have no villainy, only a case of too much love on both sides. They loved in secret, were mar- ried in secret, and had to pay the penalty of theii indiscretion, for ' the wages of sin is death. During his lecture Mr. Warde added much to the pleasure of the students by giving many of the most beautiful quotations from Shakespeare. ' In reading Shakespeare, said Mr. Warde, go straight to the fountain-head. Do not look for ]irofun(litv, take the simple meaning you see on the surface. Do not consult the commentators ; they have done nothing to aitl, and everything to confuse, the student. In speakinjj of elocution, he said: ' If you would have the whole epitome of tlic art of speech, you must study Shakespeare, especially Hamlet ' s advice to the players. In that advice you have the secret of the art of the ])ul)lic speaker. ' At the close of the address he was heartily a])plauded. and Miss Lora ' ariel presented to .Mr. W ' arde a handsome silver loving cup. on he- lialf (jf the faculty and students. In his response Mr. W ' arde declared that although he has not ac- cumulated great wealth during his life, he has made manv friends, amonsj ' whom he is glad to count the Xormal faculty, and students. Miss Ella Redmond, President of the Senior A Class, presented a handsome bouquet of Mr. W ' arde from that class, and Miss Edna Wade of the Junior Class gave him a large bouquet of fragrant violets. . rece])tion in the school par- lors followed the evcrcises of the afternoon. I Professional Department- EDITOR, JACIIMTHA SMITH « Music — Third Grade I. I ' liil uf instruction — Roto Song, Willie ' s Demise. I. O, Willie hail a monkey, L ' ])on a yellow stick. And when he licked the paint off, Of course, it made him sick. II. . n(l in his dying moments lie hugged it to his hreast, And sent it with a message To the girl that he loved best. II. Teacher ' s . im — This song is presented in this class for the following reason: It deals with a child who from the content of the song, and what I have been al le to gather from a free use of the reference department of the Public Library, was abnul the usual age (jf the children in this class. The pujjils can casilv ])Ut themselves in his ])lace. and will becnine in- tensely interested in it. This song is taken u]) at this time for these reasons : I. ' { ' he children have, from singing . nurica, luc(ime worked up to such a pitch df hilarious excitement that they need something to make them think of the Great Beyond, and tone them down to their normal (State Normal j condi- tion. 2. r.ecause of the nmral teaching, especially valuable just now, as I have noticed traces of yellow around the children ' s mouths, wliich from a chemical analysis 1 have determined to be ])aint, liy this song- I hope to instill not a morbid, haunting fear of the anuising toy which takes so active a i)art in it, but rather a belter realiza- tion of the Physics formula, Kverylhing has its proper place. 3. Because of the correlation possii)le between this song and the nature work in the class, which just at this time is a study of different types of seibers. The pupils have already studied the hawk and the owl, and from the money-faced ow ! to the monkey is but a short step of transition. In general, my aim is to cultivate strength of voice and that peculiar wailing c|ualitv so es- sential an element in all good singing, and which can best be obtained l)y beginning in infanc - and continuing on into the Senior 1 ' . year, where it reaches its sublimest lieights. Children must breathe through the iioslrils, and with the seven-si.xteenths diaphragmatic breath fmni the ninth rib. (Those who have no ninth rib will be allowed to breathe from their tenth.) III. Teacher ' s Preparation — I first learned the tune of this song ; I then paraphrased it, sub- jectivelj- and objectively, with special emphasis on the subjective paraphrase. During the re- maining two w-eeks before its presentation I shall practice it at least ' steen minutes per day, just as I expect to teach it to the class. I have consulted ]Miss Hagan as to the best possible preparatory discussion, and to her I am indebted for the greater part of what appears un- der that head. I shall have before the class one of the toys mentioned in the song, and shall show them how it works, thus creating interest. I shall let it pass ariund the class for each pupil to examine and maaiipulate, thus gaining tactile and muscular sensations. Special arrangements have been made with Mrs. Brvam to allow an excursion to East Lake Park to examine the monkey that is kept there for exhibition. References : 1. Everv teacher his own sextet. 2.

Aim for Children — Today we will sing a song celel)rating the demise of illie. ' . Preparatory Discusssion and Presentation — Class, who has seen a toy like this? ' ho owns one like it? Watch me make it wiggle. I shall pass it around the class, and each of you in turn may exercise it. (Here pass monkey around.) Class, what is this little animal on the stick? A monkey. Who has ever seen a mon- key? Tell the class about it. (Here get free expression.) Class, would you like to see a real monkey? Yes. (Here undertake excursion to East Lake Park. The children will be encour- aged to poke sticks and things at the monkey to see him girate about the cage. I shall corre- late here with nature work.) Children, what does the monkey do when you poke sticks at him? He grabs them. What is a better word than grabs? Seizes. Yes. ( ' Inen someone will lie sure to say, Then the monkey is a seizer, just like tlie owl. I shall promptly squelch this remark, as I am not yet ready for it. ) Remem- ber what you have learned about the monkey to- day. It will come up farther on in your work. Observe the monkey closely, especially with re- gard to the activities you see manifested. After half an hour or more of this observation from original sources, we will return to school. I shall simply allow the knowledge the pupils have gained to soak in ; we shall have no further dis- cussion on it. On the next day . shall have the toy before the children. Upon beginning the recitation, I shall say : Do you think a toy like this would be nice to own? Yes. I will sing you a song about a boy who had a monkey upon a stick, and you will see whether it was a nice toy for him to have. I shall then sing the song, being careful to keep the proper wallowing-in-grief-and-misery tone in my own voice. Do you think that Willie was greatly benefited ]jy tile possession of this toy? No! Would you ever use a toy in this way? No! What noble trait of character is shown by this boy? His enduring love and thoughtfulness. ' Yes, knowing that the young lady mentioned in the song would like a souvenir of the occasion, he sent it to her. Children, this is a most noble Irait of character. Emulate it. Would you like to learn to sing this song? Yes ! I will sing part of it, and you may sing after me. 1 shall teach llu-ni the wliole song in this way, drilling thoroughly on one verse before taking up the ne.xt. ■ If the pupils do not get the jiroper expression, I shall simply remind them of the sad circumstances attendant upon the case. Ask them how they would like to be in the same state, etc. If at first they do not sing it well, I shall hammer away until they do. 11. Summary and Comparison — Class, what do we learn from this song? Never lick paint off the stick supporting a monkey ; when you die, alwavs do it in a graceful manner; do not forget those near and dear to you when your end draws nigh. Yes, those are some of the most valuable points we should see in this sonr . Have you ever had a s ong like this before? No! Would you like to learn another one? Yes. Editor ' s Note. — This song is recommended for even higher grades, for the sentiment is pure ; there is not the slightest touch of sentimentality , maudlin or otherwise. It is a classic of its kind , this treatment making it especially valuable. Spe - cial notice should be given the excellent correla- tion of the subjects here shown. It will be seen that with a little ingenuity, almost any subjects can be brought into close touch. Let it be an inspiration to those who find under their present school course no opportunity for a scientific adap - tation of the curriculum, giving a psychological basis for the acquisiton of knowledge. «• B First Grade I. Unit of Instruction. Spare the rod and spoil the child. II. Teacher ' s .Aim : JMy aim in presenting this subject is to impress u])on the children the importance of this lesson, to fill them with awe and respect for their senior teachers, and bring them to a full realization of life. ill. Teacher ' s Preparation : 172152 I have made a careful stiuly of each child ' s mind from infancy to the present day. so tliat I i.now just how much time and attention to sjive each child. I have procured sixteen good willow rods, with three spare ones, in case any child should need a second. These I shall have ready for use at the beginning of the recitation. IV. Preparatory Discussion and Presenta- tion: What have I in my hand. Jack? (holding up one of the willow rods.) Please, marm. you have a switch in your hand. That is good. What kind of a switch is it, Thomas? I-I-I don t know. I ' se your eyes, come look at this and fee l it. This should make the child ap- proach with fear and trembling. (If it does not, I shall tickle him up a bit. ) Xow, what kind of a rod is tins? for it is called a rod, not a switch. It is a willow rod. Good. Teacher, what is you goin ' to do with em? Who is that speaking out? .Vnd mv name is not teacher. I will show you better than to speak out, and also, what I am going to do with them. Come here, tr.is instant; ()f course, this is only supposing a case so as to show my treatment should such a one arise. ) I shall have the right oite come for- ard, for the other cliildren will tell on him. ' . Application : One rod to each child, applied till it is worn out. Of course, this is in general. T. Generalization: Cliiklrcn, now do you know the use of the rod? If they are so subdued that they cannot speak, I shall have accomplished my aim. and fo shall dismiss the school. k Literature- -B First Grade  The Storv of J I IT of Instruction. ■ I the Pilgrims. . II. Teacher ' s Aim. My aim in presenting this story as a type of early life among the white settlers of our country is, ( i ) to have the pupils reason logically why the Pilgrims left England, ( 2 ) to m have them solve the social difficul- ties of England and this country, (3)to show the love of John Alden for Priscilla, thereby instilling the principle of universal brotherhood of man, (4) to have the pupils in- terested in foreign travel, and (5) to enlarge their imagination. III. i eacher ' s Preparation. (I have con- sulted the first grade teacner as to material, ref- erence books, pupils, previous knowledge of work hingeing on this subject.) I have read these books: Pilgrim ' s Progress, To Have and to Hold, The Pleasures of Life, Don Oui.xote, Rasselas, Fables in Slang, to put myself fully in the mood of the story. I have also played with a toy wheel-barrow so as to have my state of mind on the .same plane as the child ' s. The following sections were selected by above- mentioned first-grade teacher: I. People. II. Hi)mc in England. III. Home in Holland. I ' . 1 he X ' oyage. ' . I ' ilgrims. Pupils should know al jut Priscilla. John .Alden, Captain Standish, William Bradford. ' l. The First Thanksgiv- ing. ( 1 will not bring jjictures because they de- tract from the nmral of the story, and dull the intellect. ) I . Class . mi. Today we are going to be- gin the story of the I ' ilgrims. ' . Preparator - Discussion. If any one can tell me who the Pilgrims were, elevate his right hand, promptly ])lease. (If no hands are ele- vated to signify their knowledge of the religious sect called Pilgrims, I shall endeavor to elucidate the subject: and 1 shall be careful to expound it in such simple manner that none of the coming generation can fail to grasji the idea. ) T. Presentation. Well, children, the Pil- grims were a religious sect who were not allowed religions tolerance in their own land called Eng- land. . ow, England comes from the word .• n;,de Land. The Celts Had called the land W- bion : ihe Romans, llrUain. Eii ' Tland was tmce a ])arl of the continent. Though separated by the English Channel and the Xorth Sea from it, yet there is abundant geological evidence that it was once a i)art of the continent. ( 1 think the preceding will give the ]iupils a good vivid pic- lure of England, its institutions, scenery, man- ners, customs and religion, as especially applied to the Pilgrims. Reproductions by the children are of great importance. Section III. Their Home in Holland: Class Aim. Today we shall find out about the home of the Pilgrims in Holland. Preparatory Discussion. You all know where Holland is, don ' t you? (If any one is not cjuite sure as to its location, I shall say that it is a very swampy place, noted for its wind- mills, wooden shoes and cows. ) Presentation. Xow, it was under James 1. (Anno Domini, 1603), who was the first of the peaceful family of Stuart, that the Pilgrims Hed to Holland, where religious tolerance jirevailed, and after reinaining there upwards of twelve years a part of them succeeded in olitaining from King James, after long negotiation, the privilege of emigrating to .America, which then belonged to England, . fter many fond bon voyages ' the little band left Holland for .America. (Now, association is one of the fundamental principles of good teaching. . s we have just finished the story of Hiawatha, I don ' t think the pupils will have ;m - trouble in associating .America with Eni ' laud in time and ])lace. ) Section I ' . The voyage. Class . im. To(la ' we shall find out about the voyage of the I ' ilgrims to .America. Preparatory Discussion. Have any of you ever taken a vo age from San Pedro to Terminal Island? (I take this illustration becau.se it is such an excellent example of a voyage and is something in which children are interested. I believe in taking children along the line of least resistance. I think it was McMurry who said : The true idea of interest demands that the sub- ject matter be ;; itself interesting, adapted to appeal to a child, and to secure his participation. If the interest awakened by bringing the mind in contact with the subject is not spontaneous, it is not genuine and helpful in the best sense. This is the reason I have made this subject so pleas- ing and simple, so that the child cannot help hav- ing direct interest.) Yes, the Pilgrims took a longer voyage than that. (I shall not dwell long on the idea of the time it took them to come to America, because children are so apt to exag- gerate. ) Presentation. Mary, what do you suppose they took on that voyage ? Bread, cream puffs, ice cream, lady-fingers, tamalles, strawberries, lamb chops, etc. Yes, that is very good, Mary. Well, after awhile they reached America, the terra incognita. Section V. The Pilgrims the class should know. Class Aim. Today we are going to take up the most important section of our story. We shall make a study of some of the celebrities who came over in the Mayflower. Preparatory Discussion. Do you wish to learn about John Alden, who married Pricilla? Yes. Presentation. (This is the age in a child ' s life when sentiment is so essential to good schol- arship. I shall go straight to the fountain- head for selections to read to pupils. I shall have them cimmit to memory these lines : What I ought not to have said, yet now I can never unsay it ; For there are moments in life when the heart is so full of emotions That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it o ' crflows, ami its secret Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered again. Why don ' t you speak for yourself, John? and other gems, if time permits. Captain Miles Standish came over in the Mayflower. He had a friend, John Alden, whom he had heard speak of a Puritan maiden named Pricilla. Well, to cut the story short, he had John propose to Pricilla for him, and was re- fused. She said, ' Why don ' t you speak for your- self, John ? ' So, through Captain Standish ' s timidity he lost the heart and hand of the much- loved Pricilla. We can all see the logic in this story. If we % ant anything done well we must do it ourselves. Pricilla married John Alden and they lived happy forever afterwards. John Carver was the Governor antl WiUiam Bradford was his heutenant. (Reproductions hy the pupils.) Section ' I. The First Thanksefiving ' Class Aim. Today we shall learn about the Pilgrims ' first Thanksgiving. Preparatory Discussion. Why do we have a day we call ' Thanksgiving Day? So that we can have pumpkin pie, turkey and cranberry sauce. Yes. ' ' Presentation. Xow. the Pilgrims had a time of the year that they celebrated because they could have plenty to cook for dinner. (Inci- dentally, I ' ll bring in about what they had at their first Thanksgiving and wliy they celebrated on this day.) Generalization and Application. Compare their mode of making houses with ours. Criticisms on this Plan : 1. Critic teacher says that I have done too much work, that I should have had children think more. 2. That I have not taken into consideration the pupils ' previous historical study. 3. That the subject could have been taken from a scientific point of view. M. Grace Stuart.

Miss Lida Preston STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Mr. Forrest Wb ' taker Mr. Robert Hickcox Mr. William Stayton Our School Literary Organizations and their Influence in Preparing for Life ' s Work. Ours is an age when the crowd principle dom- inates all phases of human life, says a writer in a recent .-itlanfic; the massing- of wealth, therefore, the corporation in production : the massing of articles to be bought and people to buy them, therefore, the department store. And thus on through all lines, our modern activities arc in an age far remote from the days of our grandfathers, when the workshop, the store, the factory was a matter of individual ownership, management and direction. .• lthougli it is true that in the business world the individual is lieing forced into the crowd to become a part of it. if he would live, in the school room world very completely is the condition of affairs reversed, at least, in one important par- ticular. Perhaps because there has yet been dis- covered no royal road to learning, we have at this end of the nineteenth century of change and progress nothing that can take the place of the strong, wholesome individualitx ' of the teacher as one of the i)riceless agents in the education of the boys and girls of our land. To sit at the feet of a great teacher, to catch the infection of his enthusiasm, his breadth of view, his power — can our universities offer anything even of high- est academic work greater than this? Following the same principle, but in less de- gree, we find in each school room the personality of the teacher a factor of utmost importance. The inrtuence that a teacher must have in a school of today is very different from that of the past. Complex and many sidetl as is the age, the de- mands on the teacher are great. Our Normal Schools have felt the responsibility of the times and adjustment in prograiu and methods has been made with a view of attaining utmost suc- cess in the preparation of its students. There are, however, some demands which they will meet in their life work which no school course, however well planned, can prepare for. In coun- try districts and smaller towns, we tind many times the literary, nuisical and again the social life of the place centering around the teacher. Wide range of interests and breadth of view are necessary in one who would lie such a leader. The teacher whose chief characteristics are those of a book-worm is seriously handicajjped in his progress toward success. Xot coming in con- tact with life in its various phases, not able to meet the jicoiile of his community on lines in which they are interested, he thus fails to 1k ' tiie power for advancement and culture lie luighl otherwise be. Realizing thus the demands on our grade teachers, one views with ])eculiar inierest one or two movements started in our Xormal during the present year. The work carrii-d on in liter- ary, musical and ethical lines in our weekly sec- tion meetings is of a nature to give the thought- ful observer considerable satisfaction. Here the students, taking upon themselves the organiza- tion and management of the meetings, investi- gate and discuss a wide range of subjects vital to all people in these days of important happen- ings. Breadth of view follows and the value that comes with exchange of thought by conver- sation, either by debate or informal discussion. From the ethics work one naturally hopes will come the raising of higher ideals and aims in life, also the better preparation of the students to carry on like lines in their own schools. This is a hopeful outlook when one considers the cry raised by so many of our educators that our public schools supply so little that goes toward the building of high and noble character in the young. All that is vital in these lines of work, how- ever, need not be waited for till school days are over. Already there is an atmosphere of earnest eflfort, a seriousness of purpose in the school. A willingness to stand by one ' s responsibilities wherever duties come to one, be it in social, e.x- ccutive or scholarship lines, is a quality of char- acter so important its value is hard to overesti- mate. In any phase of activity the man or woman who can be depended on is the one who walks steadily upward into the first places in the world ' s life. The new constitution of the student-bodv thoughtfully planned for, as it is, bids fair to give new energy and life to that organization. The practical plan of dealing with imporlant ques- tions through class sections must surely bear good results. The presidents of the sections, as under the provisions for carrying out the honor system, and those who represent the sectiims in the student-body meeting will have responsi- bilities upon them of no little weight. The suc- cessful meeting of these responsibilities will re- sult in value to sections, to classes and the whole school. ' ut the value that will come to the student himself is one that cannot be measured now ; he will individually realize it only when he has taken his place in the wider activities of life and looks back to see that much of the hone and sinew of his strength comes from hal)its of the past — the faithiul performance of the varied du- ties that came to him in his school days.

I A Wisdom You must have seen Wisdom Food babies by the score, but I am inclined to think that a Wis- dom Food family will be a novelty even to you. Herein is enclosed a photograph of a Wisdom Food family, consisting of seven children, five boys and two girls, the oldest being fourteen and the youngest three years of age. All seven were nourished on Wisdom Food, from earliest in- fancy, the preparation consisting of Wisdom Food, prepared according to the age with dilute common sense as directed on the bottle. On this they thrived and grew, and their parents are proud of them. Food Family. Can you relate the histor ' of any other fam- ily in which seven children were raised on any kind of prepared food? I dobut it very much. Lately there has been talk about preparing a R. R. to L. Food, which, it is claimed may be taken in large quantities without injur)-, articles being written by the hundred describing methods of fixing and preparing it. Experience tells me, however, that isdom Bood, prepared as di- rected on the bottles to suit the age of the child, is good enough to raise a family of seven and lose none of them. Dr. E. T.

Athletic Departments EDITOR GUY STEWART The fact that the Normal Scliool has not placed a footl)all team upon the gridiron this year does not mean that we have dropped athletics bv any means. The truth is, that the school has never reached a higher stand- ard of physical excellence, in its members, than it has this year. Ilcsides the physical training received in the gymnasium, we have three or four well-trained basket-ball teams in the male department of the school, and are exceptionally proud of the young lady teams, of which there arc also thre or four. While our tennis players have not been very active thus far this year, we have some very good material, and hope to develop some crack players by next spring. Several of our boys are already preparing for the inter-scholastic field day, to be held at Santa Barbara next May. Our boys have always held their own in these meets, and they hope, this year, to surpass all pre- vious records. The Southern California Inter-scholastic Association has at present seven schools enrolled as members. The officers are as follows : Presi- dent, Mr. Baden of Throop ; Vice-President, the representative from Los Angeles Normal School, yet to be elected ; Secretary, Mr. Orr of X ' entura ; Treasurer and Business Manager, Mr. Lousley of Santa Barbara. The Association, when fully organized, will no doubt be a great factor in the development of good factor in the development of good athletics in the southern part of the State. It should receive the help and encouragement of everyone. =mA Word as to Athletics The value of athletics in a school like the Los Angeles State Normal may l)e considered from tw ' O points of view, viz., that of the individual student and that of the school v student body). As a contribution toward ])livsical . Towth and vitjor, athletic ex- ercises comjjlcte or round out the work of the synuiasiuni. These exer- cises are in a certain sense applied physical culture. The en thusiasm of competition furnishes interest for the preliminary traininij. This traininrr consists in g-ettint;; the liody in s ood physical condition as a whole, as well as ac((uirin,fj ' skill (muscular co-ordination) for a particular kind of con- test. The interest in athletics is inborn, for it had its befjinnint; ' before the dawn of civilization and has been expressed in some form or other ever since. Whether there is any connection between this universal race cus- tom of i)hysical contests among adolescents and the nascent period (period which yields the greatest development through exercise) of heart, lungs and general strength of body, coming at this time of life, it is true that the kind of physical t ' xercise afforded by athletics lirings about sucli a de- velopment. In a large school it is not possible for very many to be represented on athletic teams. W ' hat is lost to the individual not thus favored is made up by the school spirit (loyalty to school an d class) which is created. The contestants nuist have at stake nt)t only their own glory, but that of the .school or organization which they represent. They can never feel this larger incentive to great efforts without the support and interest of their fellow-students. The athletic contest is a leveler of all school distinctions, for all members of the school may join in a common interest and entluisiasni. The same also applies to contests within the school. Even the most jjarti- san must put away his jirejudicc whenever he sees skill, strength and en- durance. In view of the value and influence of athletics barely outlined in the foregoing, should we not ])ay more attention to that phase of our school life? Our athletic teams have made good records, but I am afraid thev have not always received the sui)])ort and encouragement which they de- serve. Morgao, Who plays tennis OQd tells Jokes I?) Let those who are interested in athletics get together and make a program for the remainder of the year which will include all forms of contests available here, and, above all. let all members of the school feel that they have an active part in these, either as actual contestants or as interested spectators. B. AI. Davis. J- Girls ' Basket Ball Ruess, Who thiQks he plays Basket Ball The fact that the young women of the Normal School have not several basket-ball victories to their credit is due, not to a lack of energy or of good players, but to a lack of time for practice. Thus far the young women of the school have had tlie use of the gymnasium for this purpose only one evening in the week. It has seemed impossible for them to play a truly scientific game and compete against outside teams whose mem- bers have nothing to interfere with their practice. Three or four teams have been organized, but the Senior High School section are at present the champions. They have some good indi- vidual players, but could be benefited by more practice on team work. At present there is a movement on hand which we hope will result in the production of a team of which Normal may be proud. All the young women of the school, who are interested in the game, have organ- ized a Basket-Eall Club. The club is composed of several teams, and these contain many good and experienced players. From these we are expecting great things in the near future. Helen M.vtthewson. =. « Basket Ball= The basket-ball season for 1900-1 started out with great vim. Mr. Gallup was chosen captain of the school team and authorized to choose its mcmljers. After some close observation, he org-anizcd the team, as fol- lows : Gallup ( c ) Forward Hickcox Forward Ronan ;..... Center P.utlcr Guard Roliinson Guard Xewsoni Substitute The team i)layed a match game with the Los Angeles Y. M. C. A. team in the Y. M. C. A. q-ymnasiuni, and were defeated by the score of 1 1 to 6. Considering the great difference between that gym. and ours in size and arrangement, and the rough way in which the Y. iM. C. A. boys played, our lioys put up a good game. The boys hope to meet the Y. M. C. . . team in our gym. before the season is over, and are confident of success. A good-sized Xormal crowd cheered our boys. The school team has shown its ability to defeat any other combination which could be gotten uj) in the school, twice; once to the tune of 25 to 10 : again to the tune of — . The different players on the first team have pronounced characteris- tics : Mr. Gallu]), the contortionist : Hickcox, the telegraph pole : Tjutler, tlif rubln-r man : Ronan, the steam engine, and Rnbinson, the long-winded. ' I he coml)ination is a good one. The first game of the season in our gymnasium was ])laved between the School Y. M. C. A and a team picked from the rest of the boys. The game was a close one, resulting in the score of 13 to 12, in favor of the school combination. The line-up was as follows : . . C. A. Position. School Hickcox (c) Forward Gallup (c) Carner Forward Ronan Lake Center Ruess Cain Guard Butler Newsoni Guard Robinson Mr. Carner made a Ijasket durinq- the last few seconds of tlie Q-ame, ])ut the referee did not count it because it was thrown after the whistle blew. Some doubted this, so the score remained disputed, some saying it was 15 ti 13 in favor of Y. M. C. A. A second g-ame was played between the teams on January g, result- ing in the score of 18-6 for Y. M. C. A., which removed all doubt as to the relative strength of the two teams. In n)cmoriam In publishing the names of those of our fellow students who have been called from this to another world, we are conscious of a conflict of emotions. It is unnatural and unreasonable that unmitigated sorrow should be associated with the contemplation of death. It is Nature ' s law thai all should die ; and were this all, it would be gloomy enough to recognize the oft repeated advent of the great enemy among us. But in view of the ineffable glories that await those who are prepared for the dread monster ' s call, upon which they cannot enter except as they cross the dark river, death, in such cases, is robbed of its sting, and becomes but the agent by which we are introduced into the joys of Heaven. While, therefore, we mourn, for our own sakes, the temporary loss of our companions who have preceded us to the world of spirits, and profoundly sympathize with those whose homes and inner lives have thus been robbed of their charm, let us face the fact as possess- ing for us an exhortation to a higher and purer life ; and, by a redoubled zeal, fit ourselves to meet with triumphant cheerfulness the inevitable summons that awaits us all.

We dedicate. . . M. L. 3 t « s T A C Xp P ¥ Preface and Invocation I sing of a class and its triumphs that e ' en in its first semester, Gave to the wondering school a singular promise of genius. Country and city alike contributed each of their dearest; Azusa, Garvanza, Glendale, Anaheim, e ' en Pasadena, Sent forth their best to the Normal to march in the vanguard of progress. Goddess of Enterprise, tell me, how can it be that together Spirits so choice may assemble to shed the light of their presence Round about on their comrades! Great are thy ways, O thou Goddess! BOOK I. Hard is the life of a Junior. Uncouth are his manners and awkward; Learned not in the ways of the school, his mistakes are many. Thus have the higher-class students grown used to mocking at Juniors. Not in this manner however, acted the Juniors of this class; Wise were they beyond measure, nor heeded they aught of the snubbing. Jeers and the jibes of their schoolmates who were blind to the light on their foreheads Passed as a cloud in this country, leaving no traces behind them. Proudly they carried their banner, blue with color of heaven. Gold with the colors of sunset, where lay all the castles they builded. Lit was the school by their presence, for the halo of genius burns brightly. Teachers and pupils alike might have basked in its light, but lo! many Failed to acknowledge their genius, and shut their eyes to its brightness. So through the first year of school, mid distrust and misunder- standing. Prejudice, ignorance, doubt, nobly struggled these great ones, Growing the stronger through hardships. BOOK II. At last, their Junior year ended. Entered they proudly as Middlers. Here alas! a few stumbled. Fair seems the path of the Middler. Much seems already ac- complished. And in their own eyes, at least, they have grown to be w onder- ful students. Who, if moved by a fancy to desert the hard road of study, May in the meadows of leisure cull the sweet blossoms of pleasure. Returning no whit behind because of the days of their freedom. Wisdom they think they have stored up, as bees the honey of flowers, So that whenever they wish, they may play the drone without mishap. Here at the gates of promotion sang the Sirens so sweetly, Promising fun with no payment that some were lured to the wayside, Never regaining their comrades. Alas, for the foolish who listened! Nathless the others marched on, the genius of all concen- trated Round the faithful remaining, who reached the next year in safety. BOOK III. Think you their hardships were ended now that they entered as Seniors? Straight seemed the road to its ending. Success held a crown for their efforts. Lo! to their vision a sight presented itself so appalling. Fearful in aspect and mien, that it took all the strength of their genius Exerting itself to the full to push b3 ' the monsters before them. Scylla on one side, upholding a register tight in her left hand. Ink of a crimson hue dripped from the pen in her right hand; Stern was her face and demeanor, dreadful her eyes in their sternness. Low sank the hearts of the Seniors, even the hearts of these brave ones. There on the right glared Charj ' bdis, even more fearful than Scylla: Criticism the motto that was printed plain on her forehead; She like her mate held a pen with its menacing red ink a-dripping; Horrid her face to behold, for a hundred eyes in their sockets, Shifted their glance with the seconds, so naught could escape their keen lightnings. Lower still sank the hearts, now trembling with fear and foreboding, Seeming to lose their daring. But now it was that the habits. Formed through the years that preceded, helped in this awful period : Eyes that had always been brave now showed not a vestige of terror; Hands that were steady and strong soon pushed aside all things that hindered; Brains that were clear and untiring selected the path without trouble; Feet that were unused to straying carried them past their tormentors. On now to victory they hasten, glorj ' before and behind them. Light of success behind them, light of reward before them. Crowned are they now in their triumph, highest of all the classes I Wisdom and fore sight and patience, wit, perseverence and courage. These are their diadem ' s jewels, brighter than rubies and diamonds; Ne ' er shall its lustre grow dim, but increasing with each year that passeth, Finally shall it become as a light to mankind in the darkness. Guiding them onward and upward. Honor to them whom it crownethi R. N. j j2 OPINION OF NORMAL BY A JUNIOR Going to Normal! How the dignity and wisdom of that institution seem to surround the future student even as soon as he has entered his name on the book in the President ' s office! Before this, the happy school days have passed with hardly a thought of the morrow; but now it is all changed, our future is before us and we each have a definite work. With fear and trembling we passed up the long walks and into the large hall, on the first day of the term. We tried to compose ourselves and be prepared to meet the wise looking students and the stern, sharp-eyed teachers — for we pictured the members of this institution as those who were too wrapped up in their life work even to smile. But what a surprising picture presented itself to us! In the office was the kind-faced President, and up and down the halls were girls and g rls, with perhaps a few lone boys scattered here and there. Not a student among them, we thought. Each was congratulating the other on the happy summer just passed, and many a merrj ' laugh reached our ears. Vet before we had time to realize that we were lonely, some- one had drawn us into the midst, and we found ourselves feeling quite friendly and at home. Many were the pleasures we experienced in the next few days, but none left such a lasting impression as the sweet cordiality of those girls and the general feeling of friendliness among all. Another delightful surprise awaited us. We Juniors immedi- ately fell in love with our class teacher. In fact, we left the building that day with happy memories and the brightest of hopes. No tired looking student could we see. Underneath the bright joyousness there was a steady purpose guiding each one, and the deformed student — who thinks of all books and no pleasure, or just the opposite — was not to be found. The next daj ' teachers and students met in the great As- sembly hall. After devotional exercises were over, we were led in music by a teacher whose very presence filled us with better thoughts and feelings. This first hour of music, when all the school was assembled, gave us a feeling of kindness and good will which lasted the rest of the day. It drew us into a close bond o f sympathy as nothing else could. The songs ended all too soon. There was a merr - buzz of conver- sation as we passed to our recitations. The day had begun with all in a happy mood and ready for the knowledge which is going to be gained. Everyone was kind to the Juniors, we knew that we had a place among the many classes, and we began to feel more res- ponsibility with the freedom and trust placed upon us, which at the same time infused us with loyalty for our school. That night we told of the great buildings with everything given to us which would add to our education or comfort, the delightful view seen from nearly ever3 ' window, the lawns with trees and flowers, and last but not least, we told of our work for the year and our hopes and aspirations concerning it. The four years of Normal life look very bright to us now. Still, with all the other thoughts of the new student, one creeps in and makes us pity and sympathize with the graduates who look back and wish for dear old Normal days again. Alice L. Thompson, Junior. jZ jS A ne:w departure jz j Our institution is never behind; and in keeping step with the vanguard of advanced education, it has added a new department of manual training, in the two branches, Domestic Science and Domestic Art. The work in Sewing was commenced last fall. The editorial room of the Exponent was fitted up with sewing tables, and here, under the skylight, the classes have worked; bearing with cheerfulness the unfavorable light, inadequate ventilation and other discomforts, looking forward to the good time coming, when the new building will furnish commodious, airy and cheerful quarters. This work was put into the Middle C year, and almost with- out exception, the students have taken up the new line with willingness and zest. It was given also to the seventh grade in the Training School. Two periods a week, for one term are given to the course, and for so short a time much has been accomplished. The aim of the course as it is arranged, is to give a working know- ledge of the foundation principles of plain needlework, by teaching the stitches used in ordinary garment making; beginning with the simplest, and gradually progressing to the more difficult. The work has been planned and presented with a view to its adaptability to the common Schools, as well as to the indi- vidual benefit of the students taking it; and it is expected that the methods given in the Normal class will, as opportunity offers, be carried into the various school rooms to which these teachers go. No room being ready for the Domestic Science, this was deferred until the second term, at which time the Physics Deparfment hospitably shared its room and the laboratory was fitted up for cooking. This work was put into the Middle A class and given also to the Eighth Grade in the Training School. One lesson a week, two periods in length, for one term, is given to the course. The theory and practice of cooking are carried along together. Typical dishes illustrating difi erent classes of food are prepared by the students. The cooking of cereals, vegetables, milk, eggs and meats; the making of salads, breads, cake and puddings; with table setting and serving, are the lines pursued. Costly, extravagant dishes are avoided, it being the aim to give simple, practical instruction in the foundation principles of cooker}-. It is hoped that those who work in this depart- ment, will go out as apostles of the gospel of health through hygienic cooking and living. Our Normal is the third institution of its kind in the country, to put this work into its curriculum — may the good accom- plished here be so evident, that others will quickly follow the example set, and the claims of Domestic Science and Art to a place in educational work be as universally acknowledged as are those of any other line of school work. Lucy J. Anderson. A  S iiTiiner Idyll A bit of meadow, fresh and green All dotted o ' er with clover: A lazy murmuring little stream, The sunset sky broods over. A mellow radiance in the air, The scent of sweet wild roses; Blue-eyed violets, shy and fair. The waving grass discloses. A little maid with golden hair, Is waiting in the gloaming: Sees in the brook her face so fair. And sighs that I ' m late in coming. And I — behind a friendly tree — Have paused to still my heart ' s wild beating: For well I know more sweet will be Because deferred, our stolen meeting. G. L. ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT Clarence J. Shults, Editor. Even if Normal hasn ' t as many boys as some other schools in this part of the country, we can have athletics all the same. But quality, not c|uantity, is what counts, and, adapting John- nie Reb ' s time-worn expression, one Normal boy is worth four common boys. At least we think so! I say Hooray for our boys. We have, as everyone knows a fairly large gymnasium, tennis courts that need repairs, and a great deal of enthusi- asm, and what we can ' t accomplish with these three, particu- larly the last, isn ' t worth accomplishing. But when we get our new gymnasium next year and get our tennis courts paved with asphaltum, let the outside world beware, for we shall certainly do things with a vengeance. Last year we took second place at the annual interscholastic field day, while this year we only secured third place. It isn ' t that we have retrograded anj ' , for everyone admits that our boys did better work this year than last. The case simply stated is this: The other fellows improved a little more than we did. It means that we must work a little harder along some lines than we ever have before and that we must con- tinue the high grade work that we have already attained along other lines. BasRet Ball. We have played two games of liasket ball this term, both with the boys from Los Angeles High School. The first was on March 20 and resulted in a score of 13 to 4 in our favor. A week later we played them again and somehow they ran a score of 30 to 15 against us. On both occasions only those of our boys played who were not in training for the field day. Some of our best men were in training. Wait till High School runs up against our crack (A) No. I team. Did you ever hear of 40 to o? The girls ' basket ball team has evidently lapsed into innocuous desuetude, a fact which we cannot explain. Harry Ruess was once an au- thority on such matters. If he were only in school, perhaps he might enlighten us. It does seem as though, with a school of four hundred and fifty girls, there ought to be at least ten who could form themselves into teams that would ac- complish wonders. We shall leave this for the consideratio n, cogitation, and careful digestion of the girls in question, however. This is evidently a case of the Caudle curtain lecture reversed; the masculine elements are lecturing the feminine elements. The Inter-5cKolastic Field Day. Our boys went into training about six or eight weeks before the field day. The last Saturday in March we had our trial field day at Agricultural Park. We had been having fine weather up to the day in question, but on that day a very Hickoox, the Haskft B. 11 Star. strong wind arose, making it very uncomfortable for spectators and participants in the races. Gallup ran things as usual, taking everything in the running line, except the mile. Howland won the mile from Conrad. Chas. Rein- hard easily took the bicycle races. And that play!

The only wish was that they might have broughthome that cup. Normal Tennis. Up to about the first of May, there had been very little ten- nis played on our courts. This was probably due to the rainy weather which kept the courts in such a condition that no one cared to play. Some of our most energetic young men have got a couple of the courts into such good shape as to cause more enthusiasm in the tennis line. Nearly every afternoon tennis balls may be seen flying back and forth across the nets at a great rate of speed. There are some very exciting games be- ing played. Mr. Davis is one of the best players that we have. He has a serve that is hard to receive, and his re- turns are something marvelous. Mr. Dietrich, who has been known as a good player for several years, still holds his reputation. Very few balls ever get past him, while his hard cuts enable him to put up the strongest kind of a game. [PMitors Note. As Cato closed every speech with the ' Dr. Pierce, The Board of Normal School Trustees, the Facu tennis courts with asphalt pavement.] It is hoped that before the term closes, we may be able to work up a tournament. Many of our experts are waiting for an opportunity to show people what they can do with a racket. If it is possible that such a tournament should occur, we may look for some hotly contested and well played games, for we brag of having some crack men. A large grand stand has just been completed which is to be used for the training school children at noontime, and also as a convenience for any persons wishing to view the sport on the courts below. This is something that has been needed for a long time and those who enjoy seeing a good game of tennis may have the privilege without having to sit on the bare ground as heretofore. It was thought for a while that we were going to have a layer of asphalt spread over the courts. This idea was finally given up and we still have to play on the gravel. It is probable that next term our hopes will be fulfilled and that we shall play tennis on asphalt .courts. If this change is made, we can claim the best courts in the city and we may yet develop some players that will stand against anv in Southern California. Chandler in training. WlI.EV Ambrosk.

Katheriiie (ioodhart. Anna (Vriftiih. Ain Chapi i Ii) v. js jz CLA55 HISTORY jz jz I became interested in psychic phenomena while I was working on my thesis, poring over ponderous volumes for ideas and finding here and there very interesting bits of information regarding telepathy and its kindred subjects. One day not long afterward a friend mentioned to me her acquaintance with a famous telepathist living in the city. Imagine my surprise when I learned that she referred to our own versatile Prof. Shepardson. I resolved at once to make a test of his metaphysical powers. The next morning I told him of my interest in telepathy and he kindly invited me to spend the evening at his home, modestly promising to give me such insight into the science as he could. I went early and stayed late. He first entertained me with an exposition on the Subjective Mind, Astral Projection, Crystal ' ision. Slate Writing, and other allied phenomena. Then looking at me as he used to when I didn ' t know my pedagogy said; You doubt the truth of my wor ds, but I shall convince you. You are more interested just now in your class- mates than in anyone else. You would like to know their little peculiarities and fads, what they think, and how they act. If my science can help you to see these things you will believe all that I have told you, He turned to a center table on which lay a large sphere of pearly whiteness that seemed to pulsate with radiance like the winking of an electric light. Leading me up to this he flourished his ever-present pencil over my head. My body seemed to fall away and leave me sitting apart from everj thing material. The globe now looked like a great full moon. A shadow fell upon it, growing clearer and clearer, until I saw before me, ghost-like but distinct, my friend and fellow-sufferer, Melvin Lorbeer. He was ranging up and down in an Caniu-lita Tr i:iiz;ibflll (;riM excited manner, wildh ' waving a huge baton, and saying; I was not destined to he a common teacher! Did I not hold Miss Hagan and the Seniors spell bound as I drew from them the fervent supplication, ' Abide with me? ' If I didn ' t have such a cold I should be gjreater than Damrosch. A wave of the pencil and the scene shifted. Long rows of business houses stretched out before me, and Mr. Duckworth ' s form flitted across my vision. From the door of Jones Son to that of the Dizzy Corner, then across to Bolter ' s and back again he rushes, and behind him, on the still evening air, floated these words of woe, $200 worth of ads before the first of June and nobody working but me I $200 worth of ads and nobody working but me I Once more the pictuie faded and a new one came in view. I saw the interior of room N. and a group of Senior A artists. The chalk tray supported a solid row of drawings. Helen McCallum rising from her seat, pointed to a half dozen or more bananas, she called them, done in water-color by the first grade. She murmured, as she gazed at her exhibit, I shall make a specialty of easter eggs and bananas. Mary Allen, semingly oblivious of everybody else, was praising her own row of straight-bottomed vases in pen and ink, and giggling (she is an inveterate gigglen to herself, I ' d rather teach drawing in the ninth grade than music in the first. All this time Ruth Dougherty stood admiring the result of her own instruction. Glancing superciliously at the other work she said, Nothing like these lilies has ever been done in the Training School: Miss Laughlin said so. I was about to say, That ' s true Ruthie, when I seemed to slip and fall, and was myself again with only a slight twitching about the eyes to remind me of my experience. Now, said Mr. Shepardson, By means of Crystal ' ision you have seen some of your schoolmates carrying out those tendencies which are strongest in them. Ghost stories are not altogether myths; this you are perhaps prepared to understand. ' ery often, indeed, it is the natural thing; the subjective mind, assuming the bodily form of its possessor, continues when the body is asleep, the most intense work of the day. You may now, if you wish, go subjectively to a familiar place where you will see the ghosts of some other friends. I nodded my willing head, and, with a twirl of the inevitable pencil, felt myself sinking as into delightful dreams. Then a sense of chill and gloom as of the grave came over me and I felt Ertie Stehiart. Kosf Van DtventiT. about me the walls of our Alma Mater. Down the hall came the ghost-like form of Helen Bushnel sighing (stage technic) as she swept along, That business of mine! How shall I ever get it? It seems so immodest to lay my head upon his shoulder. Mother will be shocked, I know. And the cues — Oh dearl I followed her to the assembly, where, upon the rostrum, I saw the ranting form of Chas. Brubaker, as he strode back and forth declaiming, I want to be an actor, and with the actors stand: or be among the chorus girls, and hold them by the hand. Just then, from down the stairs, came a confused murmur of voices and a peppering fire of gentle taps. The greatest disturbance seemed to come from Room i , and to that place I proceeded. Before their Eniilita Abbott. respective blackboards were Houser, pointing with lightning on their absent pupils. Near the desk sat Julia Spencer and Grace Davies bus3 ' fingers were weaving as they sang, In and out, in See how very Some do weave But I shall make Similar unearthly sounds drew me across the hall, blackboard exercises were being conducted by Nellie Anna Fitzhugh. Then came the sense of a yawn and a night-mare, and I was back in Prof Shepardson ' s parlor. What were those girls doing in the Training School? I asked. Why, that is an example of what I have just told you. They are continuing in sleep their frantic daily efforts to keep first grade work moving. Thus far, you have been, while in the hypnotic state, observing the subjective forms of others, I shall now, with your permission, help you to see the objective form of any friend on whom you will fix your thought. Concentrating my mind upon my dear Ganahl, I was in the parlor of her home on Ave. 54. She was evidently entertaining a group of young people, most of whom I recognized at once as my classmates. The gentlemen in the company were strangers to me. They seemed backward in one (irace Woodii the shadowy forms of Irene Williams and Lela rapidity to the words thereon and calling wildly a heap of straw at their feet, which their ever- and out. nice and stout: the splintry mat, a raffia hat. where the same ghostly Cocke, Lottie Barry, and of an awakening as from Bessie Au.steritiell. Eunice Kirkpatrick. M.-ibel Morton. Charles Brubaker. Julia larev. Madtre Stepliens respect only; they sat with their hats on. They were however, very much adored by the ladies. One of them, whom everybody called Cedric, seemed an especial favorite. The striking thing about his costume was his negligee shirt, of bright red flannel. His deep musical voice and executive manner were very familiar but I didn ' t know who he was. Arabella, a charming young lady, whose timid ways reminded me forcibly of Grace Farnsworth, was gazing in admiration at him and appeared in no way embarrassed to be observed by the other guests. I heard another of the gentlemen ask Antionette Ganahl to be his wife and saw him clasp his hands to his heart in tragic pain when she said, looking jealously at the man in the flannel shirt: Parson Bolingbroke, I have answered that question for the last time. The parson must have been a relative of Mabel Morton ' s for he looked so much like her. A young fellow, whom they termed Apollo, was holding Anna Griffith ' s hand and vowi ng that she was fairer and fresher than Pheobus Aurora. A graceful, little blackheaded fellow was playing the piano and making goo goo eyes at Sweet Lewis, me child, Don ' t you think I ' m grand? I heard him ask her, and Jessie answered, striking a honeywood pose, Oh, my darling Carm, you ' d make Aphrodite grin! In another corner of the room was a group of little girls, their queer old-fashioned gowns reaching just below their knees, their hair hanging down their backs in tight little pig tails. You may be sure I was surprised to recognize them as my dignified Senior friends, Julia Garey, Bonnie Green, and Edith Philips. They were discussing the feasibility of studying History Methods and of keeping Biology note books. I caught this fragment, The way we Seniors have to study is enough to make a goat weep. EdnaSoper. Dont j ou think so? Then all eyes were turned toward Arabella as she called out, Adelaide Jones, you Autrusta ZubiT. Mabfl Smith. ML ' Iviii Lt ' rbeiT. Fri-ildie Christiaii- are so grand. Prometheus would crawl into a gopher hole beside you! I hadn ' t seen Adelaide and was still looking for her when, like frost on a window pane, the vision melted, and I was barely conscious of Mr. Shepardson ' s voice as he said, Think of Emilita Abbott. Obeying, I found myself beside a group of girls evidently deep in the study of School Law. They were seated around a table on which were strewn multitudinous white fleecy-looking scraps of variety innumerable, half a dozen school law pamphlets and all the latest fashion plates. Bessie Austermell was saying, I tliink .Mr. Shepardson requires altogether too much to ask us to know all about these old school moneys The permanent fund That reminds me girls, broke in Catherine Goodhart, this wash chiffon at S5 cents a yard would wear well. We would liave something permanent and serviceable if we got that. Then there is 5 cents a yard discount to every Senior A. who will get her dress at Ville de Paris, interrupted practical Celia Norton, and, by the way, 5 cents discount will help us to remember this permanent fund. 5 ' discount on public lands is part of the permanent fund. O girls exclaimed Anna Schubert, just imagine giving Dearest Mamma. I don ' t see what Mr. Von Xeuraayer can be thinking of The Match Makers is just fine. But girls are you going to have yours trimmed in lace or ribbon? ' asked Eva Alexander, before the last sentence was finished. White satin ribbon with point larc insettion, said Kmilita Abbott. I like these soft clinging effects. I ' m .going to have mine shirred. I like these patterns, don ' t you asked Bessie Austermell holding up a fashion plate of bride ' s dresses. O Bessie they all exclaimed you wduld Imik to sweet. Miss Moore would think so too. Klla Waslil.uni. • ' But girls said the studious Eva its getting late and I don ' t know this stuff yet. Which fund do collateral inheritances belong to? ' I don ' t know but I wish somebody would leave me a collateral inheritance and I would have this $i.iocbiffon made over China silk. Wouldn ' t it be lovely? This from Anna Schubert too, and I was back at Mr. Shepardson ' s in my Normal senses. Have you had experience enough to convince you that we have a subjective mind, he said, which when properly understood may do many wonderful things for us. ' ' I thought I had. Now I will show you some of the marvels of slate writing although I don ' t care to have it generally known among ray pupils that I ever resort to such means of getting information . ' ' He gave me a double .slate perfectly clean with a little bit of pencil between the sides. Now think of some one with whom you would like to communicate. I thought of Bertha Scott. Immediately there was a scratching of the pencil as of someone writing. In a moment it ceased, I opened the .slate and read. O say Mabel, the Exponent is coming on beautifully. We are going to have a number that is just too lovely — mostly pictures. .Mr. Chamberlain wants to publish his grand method lectures but I don ' t think. You ' ve got a good joke on me haven ' t you? Please dont leave out — Scottie. I was so pleased that I could hardly wait to try the experiment again. This time I thought of Maude McAfee. The message came. Don ' t you just love the 5th grade? Aren ' t they too sweet for anything? Don ' t you just adore Mrs. Preston? I knew it was from Maude becau.se that ' s what she .says to me every day. I was fa.scinated and determined to have yet another message. I fixed my thought on Catherine Withers. This time the pencil wrote I never expect to teach.

For so large a class I think ni ' investigations fairly gratifying. I ' m sure they are very interesting, said I, but vou have said nothing about Daza Barnes. Immediately the shade of that young lady was seated opposite me. You recognize our friend do you not? ' said Prof. Shepardson. Her tastes are all intellectual, he continued: See how readily she will accept the .sug- gestion I shall make to her. Then turning to her, he said, Miss Barnes, you now think that you are Dr. James conducting a Monday afternoon Seminar. Immediately she straightened herself up, attempted to run her fingers through her pompadour and pursing up her lips in a nau-e manner as Dr. James is apt to do, be- gan, Thereis nodoubtthat aSeniorcan do all the work required by the State Nor- mal School in two hours a day, provided that that Senior has done all his previous life work faithfulh ' . We will now proceed to the revision of the Course of study. Miss Swerdfeger, at what conclusion have you arrived concerning second grade work?, No sooner had she called the name than Grace materialized as a cloud of apor might form in clear air. I wi.sh all the teachers in that grade to give special attention to what Miss Swerdfeger has to sa},, and with these words the room was full of airy figures. I recognized them e -ery one as the girls who teach in the second grade. I have gi en the subject serious consideration Dr. James, said Grace, looking straight at Miss Barnes, (so powerful is suggestion over the subjective mind i.

You deal ton much in generalizations. Miss Harlan. Will .someone kindly volunteer to be more specific, interrupted the instructor. I should do all that Miss Harlan has suggested, said Maude Weaver, lieing very careful to have the children inhale through the jiost-nasal passages and vocalize every particle of expiring air in speech. Too specific! echoed Miss Barnes. Then Lena Rosa volunteered, I should follow Mr. ' on Neumayer ' s method implicitly taking up the elements of expres- sion week by week. Anna Fine lifted her hand timidly, and receiving a nod of encouragement, said, I should make a strict examination of the vocal and articulatory organs, and in case of any tnal formations, .should recommend amputation or expulsion from school. Quite right, exclaimed the p.seudo professor. Now let us hear something in regard to the other subjects. Here, Daisy Morris arose to elucidate the drawing problem. The subject of every day ' s lesson should be taken from this song. The drum, the little man, without, and later, with his drum in more and more diflficult poses to gain progression may be used. I should lo.se no opportniiitx to ([ue.stion Miss Laughlin, but should rather follow her as a shadow, thus making sure of success. Mi.ss James then introduced the subject of morals and manners. It seems to me that twenty minutes a day could be spent ver - profitably on ethics. The words bought, war, fight and others will furnish sufficient subject matter for a term. Among oilier devices for impressing moral lessons, would be war-pictnres and cripples from the Soldiers ' Home that the pupils iiia leani the evil effects of war. I should give the children lessons in buying and selling, showing them all the tricks b - which the - nia - take advantage of others in trades and cautioning them to avoid using the same. I should correlate nature work, said Grace Swerdfeger, by studying the sheep whose .skin is used to make the head o the drum. I should take the children to a sheep ranch where we would buy a sheep, making a review of the le.ssons they have learned in trading. The sheep should then be taken to the school house where the children would have entire control of the animal. What can you add Miss Soper? came from the leader. This would be an excellent place for the practical application of twig cutting. The pupils should make a pen for the sheep. Then the effect of fright should be taught. This was suggested to me by Mr. Shults, who, when he presented the song, furnished a vivid picture of the pale face, erect hair, trembling limbs, and quivering muscles of a frightened man. This will be a good song with which to realize the four aims of the music teacher, said Amy Chappelow. ist. To make the pupils sing just above their mouths. 2nd. To make them .send the sound from their eyes. 3rd. To make them sing out of the tops of their heads. 4th. To make them sing the scale as if the - were holding a cat by the nape of the neck with its body hanging loosely down. Here Miss Barnes arose, went through the motion of taking a watch from her pocket and said, Class dismissed. The spirits were gone as quickly as they had come. I leaned back in my chair to reflect, ab.sent mindedly I touched the slate again. The pencil began its scratching. I waited expectantly until it stopped. Then to my amazement read: Miss Cocke ; If you don ' t go home immediately and put this episode on your report, ou will hear from Mrs. Pierce. Saying a hasty good night, I fled. Maude Weaver. I ena Rosa. Rinder garten D e p ar tm ent THE BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES. On September 5, 1S99, the twenty of us first met. Now we are seventeen, fifteen of whom are of the original number. The first awful thing that happened was our music test, when we sat in agony before Miss Hagan, saying under our breath the old fashioned but practical scheme for remembering those sharps, (lO drink and ever be free, and back again for the flats. My, but Miss Hagan looked cross that day! We soon learned, however, that behind that frowning countenance, there hid a smiling face. Our invitation by the then reigning Seniors took place a few days later, when we were led as merry a chase as John Gilpin ever rode — over chairs, under tables, outdoors and in, evolving through different stages offish, frog, bird, butterfly, and vari- ous other flesh and fowl. This was followed by refreshments and dancing. Then we went to work and worked hard : upstairs and down, we were experimenting, studying, observing and absorbing. Oh. the Kindergarten course is not all fun ! It is a good thing for the Junior Kindergarteners to make themselves known to Miss Jacobs before a dance in the gym, for a hold up in the gj-m is the inevitable result of a neglect of this courtesy. Near Thanksgiving Miss Lawson entertained the Alum- nae, Seniors and Juniors, with a children ' s party. We were made children again just for that night, and, the spirit as well as the dress of childhood being ours, we ate, danced, played and squabbled as chil- dren do. The rooms were transformed into a huge barn, with stacks of corn, garden im- plements, and so forth, adding to the delusion. At Christmas time we had a dainty luncheon, when certain dignified tutors tried to look comfortable on twelve inch high chairs. On St. ' alentine ' s day we had a spread, and just before the Seniors left, we gave them a farewell luncheon. After the summer vacation, we came back — Seniors, with a fine large flock of Juniors to bring up. Then our practice work began, the class scattering to all points of the compass, six to Pasadena, to be in private, charity, and Orphans ' Home Kindergartens, two to the Ninth Street Mission, four to Olive street, across the way, while the rest stayed at Normal. After three moves during the year, we feel as though we had met all sorts and conditions. Of course we initiated the Juniors with appropriate cere- monies, and they retaliated by giving us a most delightful Hallowe ' en party, with darkened rooms, red lights and all sorts of tricks to gain husbands and other good fortune. But alas and alack ! The Kindergarten department is as good as an anti-matrimonial society. But we bobbed apples dipped fingers, ate pie, and burned candles at the shrine of the mysterious and uncertain Prince. Next in succession was another of Miss Lawson ' s unique and de- lightful affairs, this time a vegetable party. Miss Lawson impersonated Mother Nature, and the guests were carrots, beets, pumpkins, radishes, flowers, and other people of nature who made a pretty picture in the beautiful forest like rooms. A gypsy in her tent in one corner divulged secrets of the future, and the after- noon was altogether charming. The beautiful butterfly party came next, when we of the Senior B class all fluttered out to the gym, and entertained ourselves and our friends with fancy dancing and just the common kind. Every one knows how pretty that was. to The Juniors entertained us recently with a charming luncheon, at which the color scheme of yellow and white was carried out in the courses and in the decorations. Our farewell to the Juniors was an afternoon function at which a German of adapted Kindergarten games was the distinguishing feature. The Kindergarten Alumnae party was a charming feature, among the closing festivi- ties of the year, and the last farewell rites of the juniors for us closed a series of de- lightful affairs to which we will look back with homesick hearts, when we are safe, safe, in the wide, wide world.

A fit of bashfulness seemed to sieze him, however, and he stood speechless for some time. Finally he ejaculated, Saw a cow, and sat down with a bump. Miss Carvell is the artist of the class, as is evident from the accompanying illustrations. The Alumnae party given the Seniors was a poster party with a chafiBng dish luncheon.

By the way. the first wedding of the Kindergarten Alumnae is announced for this summer. Miss Isabel Harden announces that she will not be married by a priest. She will take a Bish — . Chinese puzzle. Who can pick out Miss Alice Kirk irom the accompanying group picture ? There were thirty-four ships killed in the Spanish war, said one chap. Miss Bonnie Gage will be at home to friends in Long Beach during the gay summer time. Miss Lottie Young will bring unrest to stolid hearts in various places in vacation. The Juniors, Miss Lawson and the Sen- iors entertained the girls ' mothers with after- noon tea and Kindergarten games on the eighteenth. Miss Marion Washburn will spend the summer at her home in Oakland, visiting Berkeley a part of the time. Miss Blanche Allen will return to her home in San Diego to spend the summer. Miss Helen Rush leaves this summer for Philadelphia where she will make her future home. iv2153 ' Class Hymrk ' United, our lives have resembled A river in its course: Each life, one drop: but the union of these Has given the river force.

The river was held within limits; The ocean is boundless and free, And not one can tell what, in its spell, It holds for you and for me. On life ' s ocean, wide and deep, we may Be parted perhaps forever: But death alone can break the ties Which bind our hearts together. H.

EDITORIAL Fellow students: — We, the June class of oi, now bring you our farewell offering, — The Normal Exponent We have made it your paper as well as ours, not one class has been forgotten, and while the Senior As claim the most attention, it is because it is our last chance. We felt you would wish to know us as we are before we leave you and the Alama Mater. This is the third edition of the Exponent to be issued by a Senior A class. We feel the present plan to be the best for the success of the paper and the enjoyment of all. The future of the paper we leave as a trust to the Senior B ' s, novv fully prepared to feel their responsibilities to the utmost. Senior B ' s make the most of 3 ' our charge. During our course, there have been two worthy enterprises struggling to secure a foot hold in the school. I speak of the Exponent and the Student Body. We are sure of the Exponent ' s future success, but what of the Normal Students ' Association ? Will you not reorganize the association ? It has been of profit and of interest, — why can you not make it much more so in the future ? We have felt the great lack in the school to be a closely united organization among the students, to work for the com- mon good rf th.e school. Senior B ' s, when you try to fill our pl ' ices, we urge you to form such a student body under the pro- posed constitution or any good constitution. Maj it seem to you a duty that you owe to the school and to yourselves. The present edition of the Exponent differs somewhat from the preceding ones in its make-up. We feel that the paper should show the nature of the school it represents. The school is judged by its products. We have used more articles of a professional nature. We feel sure each one to Ije of definite value to the readers and altogether to make the Exponent a distinctly Normal School paper. We are deeply grateful to those who have so generously assisted us in our work on the paper. We especially wish to express our thanks to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Barnuni, Miss Moore, Miss Hellmuth of the faculty and to Misses Sterry and Doss of the class of ' oo, for their interest and co operation in the paper. BERTHA SCOTT, Editor. We desire to call special attention of the students to our advertisers. Glancing over the business houses whose adver- tisements are herein contained, you can see that they are the most reliable and enterprising business firms in the city and are worthy of your patronage. Vou may think it a little thing when you go into a store to make a purchase to tell them you are from Normal. But when you get to be a Senior and tr ' to publish a paper you will realize that it is no little thing after all. The firms like to know that they are being patronized by the people among whom they advertise. So for your sake and the sake of all concerned we earnestly urge 3 ' ou to trade with our advertisers. A. Sei ior ' s Dream First Impression of Normal ' ' By High School Graduate So you want a Middler ' s impressions on entering Normal. Well, I ' m afraid our views were rather homesick ones. Our Alma Mater was too much in our minds to let us appreciate a new one so soon. A State institution, indeed I We began to think it was the luna- tic asylum. The unknown labj ' rinth called halls led everywhere except where we wished to go. But thej ' were sure to bring us face to face with one of the teachers who greeted us with, Have you been vaccinated yet ? Where are your credentials. Vou must hand in our report, or When will you pay your deposit ? So much distracted were we, that some of us were found wandering in the basement, and on being asked our business, replied vaguelj ' , Hunting for the Attic. Everywhere we went placards met our gaze, Quiet on the Stairs, or, Silence in the Hall. We soon found that the Seniors and Faculty were exempt from the ruling. In fact no one but us frightened mortals paid the slightest heed to it. Then, that terrible room R ! How we shook and trembled at the flow of elocjuence which our attempts at harmonj ' called forth. Little did we dream that You aie the slowest class I ever saw, and many similar remarks, made in an exasperated tone, were only the prelude which would be followed by soda- water treats. The imposing array on the platform oppressed us with such a feeling of the solemnit - of our new life that we never smiled again — that is for fully a week. And, oh, how we did miss our boys, the dear, old boys! Here, we had just one in a whole section: and he, so fright- ened at a roomful of strange girls that nary a glance or word could we get from him. How unsophisticated we were I We thought that our gym- nasium work was intended merely for recreation, and we were led to believe that our vaccination certificate secured us from all future ills. To those from the L. A. High School, the hill seemed like an old friend. To be sure we missed the graveyard and the taniale stands. Nor were they all we missed. Where, oh where, were the clocks? Time seemed to be no item here. But, one thing delighted us, that peculiar invigorating atmos phere of independence. We felt personally responsible for much which had, hitherto, always been done for us. Each breath of air carried to us the call to work — and work hard ; but as well the thought of future recreation, well earned. Some- thing within each responded to this and with increased courage we prepared for the task before us. Then, too, that pleasant feeling of comradeship among members of different classes was as agreeable as it was novel. No one seemed to care whether we were Juniors or Seniors. We were new comers, and as such to l e welcomed. SOCIETY NOTES J w Junior B Class. — May lo. A dancing and game party. Junior A Class. — May 3. A merry gathering in the gym nasiuni.

It was with a feeling of heartfelt regret that faculty and stu- dents of the Normal School learned of the resignation of Miss Moore, for more than four years a member of our English department. All who have been members of Miss Moore ' s classes earn,- with them an inheritance that mere instruction can never conve} ' — the power of personality reaches beyond all text book instruction. To those who come after, deprived as they will be of this culture that contact with one of such deeply intellectual power, and possessing in so high degree all attributes that constitute woman in the true sense, to these we extend our sympathy. To Miss Moore herself entering upon a course of stud} ' and travel both in the east and abroad, the heartiest of congratulations and godspeed in the enlarged life she is about to enter. Works of Art in Assembly Hall The classes of 1900 and 1901 have united to leave behind them a most beautiful memorial of their association with the Normal School. The Winged Victory, which has recently been unveiled in the Assembly Hall, is th ir gift. The happy custom of thus expressing the love and respect felt by graduates for their foster mother originated with the class of ' 96, who placed upon the walls a fine picture of the impressive ruins of the Parthenon. The classes of the following year added a beautiful print of Harry Bates ' Cupid and Psyche. This delicate and graceful relief tells in three parts the story of the Latest born and loveliest vision far Of all Olympics ' faded hierarchy. The central and la ' -gest represents Psyche borne by the west wind, while those on the sides show Cupid ' s interest and admiration contrasting with Psyche ' s despair. A plaster cast of the Diana of the Hind, standing at the left of the rostrum, is a gift of the class of ' 98. The original is in the palace of the Louvre, and is a counterpart of the Apollo Belvedere. The attitude of the Oueen and Huntress is that of hurried and eager motion, and the statue is instinct with life and spirit. On the opposite side of the hall, in thoughtful repose, is the majestic figure of the Minerva Medica, of the ' atican. This cast was purchased with the proceeds from students ' entertain- ments. Another work of art in which the entire school has a per- sonal pride, is the large picture of the ' enus of Milo, which commemorates the successful competition of our decorated tally- ho in the Free Harbor Jubilee floral parade. The beautiful carbon copy of Raphael ' s Sistine Madonna, which hangs on the south wall, was presented by the class of ' 99- The gift of the classes of the last two years stands in impos- ing grandeur on the west side of the Assembly Hall. The figure is thrown into relief by rich hangings of crimson plush. It is a copy of the Winged ' ictory of Sansthrace, which was dis- covered on the little island in the Archipelago in 1863. During the progress of some excavations, a French Consul noticed a bit of white marble emerging from the earth. He cleared away the soil and brought to light the fragments of a statue of a winged female figure. These were placed on board a French dispatch boat and convej ed to Paris. Three years later the pieces were fitted together, and the ' ictory was gi -en room in an obscure corner of the Louvre museum. The several blocks of strange shape which had been excavated at the same time were neglected. When at last it was seen that they formed the pedestal of the statue, and that when put together, they would take the shape of the prow of a ship, these blocks were brought away by the French Government. ? 6 k u •8 « ■si e Sixteen years af ' er the discovery, the magnificeut figure was placed on its pedestal at the head of the grand staircase in the Louvre, where it now is. The Victory is represented with the movement of rapid walking, as if she were accompanying the rowers, and eager to spring ahead of their speed. The sea-breeze blows the drapery against the body and makes it float in graceful folds behind. The feet, head and arr.is were carved apart, and fixed to the statue with braces: thev are now lost The imagination, how- ever, is able to reconstitute the complete altitude, Archeolo- gists say that the right arm, raised and extended in front, doubtless held a trumpet: the left arm thrown back and hang- ing down, carried a stand for trophirs. The head was erect and looking into the distance. In no other monument of antique sculpture do we find combined such strength and at the same time such delicacy and subtlety of touch. As it now stands, headless and armless, it is still of dazzling splendor of form, and vibrates with the internal life of art. E. E.

Ye are types of this earthly life Rugged, grand, and sublime, For there ' s not a path o ' er your rocky sides But leads to the sunlight in time. Among your hard, gray boulders Are flowing perpetual springs. And through the gloom of your forests An eternal anthem rings. And so in the glorious distance Shall seem to us this life. When Time ilings his purple mantle Over its rugged strife. For then in the grand hereafter I ' plifted by God ' s own hand, We shall see the unequal lives of men In towering beauty stand. Then the jarring discords of life Shall blend in an anthem sweet. And the rocks shall stand like monuments, That bruised our climbing feet. S. D. he Use and Abuse of Books ooks are the best of things, well used ; abused, among the worst. BEP ' ORK attempting to discuss the question of the use and abuse of books, it would be a wise plan to peep at Mr. Ruskin ' s definition of a book. He considers that a book is written to perpetuate a thought that an author per- ceives to be true and useful, or helpfully beautiful. The book stands for the best of the writer: it is the sight which his share of sunshine and earth has permitted him to seize. Emerson says that books are only to inspire, but Ruskin says they are to teach us. If a writer is not wiser than we are we should not read him; if he is wiser he will think differently than we do. I regard books are for these two purposes, and think that Ruskin and Emerson each have these views. These two thinkers may not express both views, but Ruskin has said that if an author is worth anything he will hide his deeper thoughts, and in order for us to possess them we must work for them as a miner digs for gold. So far I have been writing of books as a whole, but as this is so extensive a subject I have chosen a division of literature made famous by De Quincy. De Quincy has divided books into two distinct divisions — literature of knowledge and litera- ture of power. The function of the first is to teach, the func- tion of the second is to move. Between these two moves the literature of criticism. My paper is to treat of books of power, although I shall briefly mention the books of criticism. The function of the literature of power is so great that it extends even to little children. Almost all our modern edu- cators agree that books have a greater influence in forming a high moral character in a child than a living example has. So close is the relationship between a child and books thought to exist that the culture epoch theor ' has been advanced. In this theory the growth of a child is compared to the growth of our civilization: and the various stages of the child ' s devel- opment are compared to the epochs of literature. There is the inspiration to be drawn from books in the desire with which we are often filled after reading a book — the desire to write something as good or better. Emerson says, Books are for the scholar ' s idle times. When he can reach God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men ' s transcripts of their readings. It is very well for a genius like Emerson to say this ; but we all are not born with this genius which Corson calls, spiritual sensi- tiveness. ' ' We unfortunates must repair to masters and many of us have found that we can see more beauty in nature after reading such painters of nature as Ruskin or Burroughs. They open our eyes and make us see things in a new light and see wonders which, until now, we had not noticed. The author of the American Scholar ' fears that too much book lore will dwarf our personality. There is indeed this danger which Corson hints at when he speaks of commen taries. Where, oh where is the opportunity to get the hidden meaning Ruskin speaks of if we allow commentators to explain every passage in literature that requires thought. If we allow others to think for us we will become a satellite instead of a system. Be master of what you read; do not let a book master you; do not permit your own independence and self respect to be obliterated. He who reads incessantly, says Milton, And to his readings brings not a spirit and a judge- ment equal or superior, uncertain and unsettled still remains, deep versed in books, but shallow in himself. Do not think you must accept all of one book. All of it may not be of literary value. Richardson says that just as almost every article of food has its poison, so nearh- every book has its. Just as nature assimilates the good and rigor- ously rejects the evil, so in reading we should train our minds to retain only the good, the true, and the beautiful, while the bad, the false, and the repulsive should instantly pass out of sight and recollection. If nature did not distinguish between the good and the poison, it would not be safe for us to eat many things which we now enjo} Reading is even as full of perils if we do not train ourselves to retain the good and reject the bad. If you read a book, one sentence of which sets you to thinking, though your mind forgets the rest you have gained something. Books need not be taken as a whole. One beautiful thing about the use of books is that we uncon- sciously gain so many truths. Mrs. Browning in her Aurora Leigh speaks of great poets as the onh- truth-tellers now left to God. We must remember the truth Corson expresses when he said that, Literature is the expression in letters of the spiritual co-operating with the intellectual man. Mabie regards great books as ' ' reservoirs ' ' of vitality to which one may repair when he is worn out. The racial experience is so limited and the individual experience so narrow that a person who does not have access to this store-house substitutes a part for a whole. He has a narrow interest, which is the essence of provincialism. A person well versed in history is not excited at a .seeming change in the course of events. He knows that such conditions have arisen before and is prepared to adapt himself in the best way to his environment. In this manner books are an effective cure for pessimism. The reading of a real book ought to be an event in one ' s history. It ought to broaden his horizon and give him food for thought. Did you ever pause to think how unhappy we are when we think of self ? Froebel considers this a dangerous condition of mind. He recommends that bright balls, or a bird in a cage, be hung up to attract an infant ' s attention when he is not being amused so that he may never think of self. No definite rule can be laid down as to what one should read. Carlyle says, Learn to discriminate, to read all kinds of things that you have an interest in, and that you find to be really fit for what you are engaged in. Get a book you have a curiosity to read; it puts one in a good condition to improve. Any good book is wiser than yourself and will teach you directly. ' ' Robert Louis Stevenson advises fiction because he thinks it gives you truths in a delightfully uncon- scious manner and does not hurl facts, labeled as truths, at tlie unsuspecting reader. Ivmerson has laid down three rules. First, never read a book that is not a year old. Second, never read anything but famed books. Third, never read anything but what you like. Frederic Harrison saj ' s, Read the old masters. Since great minds have approved of them, try them: if you do not like them the fault lies in you and not in those who did appreciate them. It seems to me that the humblest reader has a right to read the literature which he enjoys best. How is he to determine what he likes best? The best is that which appeals to him: that which the reader is able to interpret. The interpreta- tion, says Mabie, Depends upon the wealth or poverty of one ' s nature. Some people are afraid to read what they like because thej fear that others will scoff at them. They dare not read Longfellow because other people are reading Browning. Both readers should remember that we must all begin with the simple and through the simple we will pass on to the deeper. We are not all born with good taste: taste must be cultivated. Therefore make a good start and read the best which appeals to you. When the first real hunger is over, says Harrison, ' ' You will begin to be a little critical, and will not like trash if you have a wholesome nature. ' ' An acquaintance with the best increases our regard for literature and enables us to judge what is good. All critics agree that we can not get away from the best works, because they are inexhaustible. Time is kind to good works; it gives each age more experience and confirmation of the truths they contain. Shakespeare means more to us than he did to people of lUizabeth ' s time. We have more light to translate and apply the truths set forth by Shakespeare than did the people of his time. One who has not the means to travel can have a good sub- stitute in books. Think how much a place of interest means to the well read person. Imagine how much more West- minster Abbej ' means to a person who feels acquainted with its dead, than to the person who looks upon it as a burial ground for great people who lived long ago. Although Emerson does not term it as such, he speaks of the abuse of books which exists because of author worship. A man may write something good. Because of the great admiration his work kindles, we immediately concede that every thing he has written before this book and every thing that he writes afterwards is true, and we swallow it as truth. Frederic Harrison is disgusted with people who read books of unknown reputation: people who hunt volumes in out of the way shops because they are curious to see what these curiosities contain. The fact that people search for unknown books, when we know of so many good books, certainly shows a misguided curiosity. Wilson says, No man is master of thought without being master of its vehicle and instrument. When we read the expression of truth from great authors we are gaining ideas of the correct use of words, and learning to express good live English. Our grammar is the language of the English speaking people and it can be gained in no better way than through book reading. Burroughs says, Personality is a higher quality of style than rhetoric. Nine times out often when we are interested, we are interested in the revelation of the author. Style gives the reader a lively sense of being in direct com- munication with a living, breathing, mental, and spiritual force. ' ' There is an aljuse of books, at the present time, that is assuming a darker aspect every day. I speak of the popular novel. Deplorable but true, certain books are fashionable, and the book market is being stocked with writings, many of which are written from a utilitarian view. I doubt whether some of these books would even be classed by Ruskin as books of the hour. The influence of the popular novel does not stop here. The novel is dramatized and played. The result is that old classics are cast aside. The stage, which is one of the greatest educators of those who can read, and also of those who have not the time, loses its important function. I do not mean to say that no literature is being written, but there is much trash being put into circulation. The worst of it all is that people have not sufficient strength to resist. They fear that they will be considered fogies if they do not read all the late works. There is the necessity of being alive to current topics and keeping up with the times, but it should be remembered that literature is for all time. Knowledge of the times should not be our only knowledge. It must serve to illustrate ancient times, just as the knowledge of the past gives us a better understanding of existing conditions. Life is short, and what little time we have for culture in this fierce struggle for existence, let us not spend with plebeians, but with kings and queens, the books of all times. Grace Helene Farnsworth. Assembly Hall Y. M. C. A. WHAT a noble nation is that we love ! How multitudi- nous in extension! How sublime in historical records! In deeds of mercy and valor how incomparable! In oppor- tunities how unparalleled ! In moral greatness how ideal! The wonder of the world ! The paragon of nations ! Yet, whence is our greatness ? It cannot be our wealth; consider the fabulous income of Russia. It cannot be our educational grandeur ; remember the art and learning of Egypt and Greece. It is neither our depth of thought nor our system of Philosophy; China boasts of a thousand Emersons, and France has hosts of Philosophers. Is it all these qualities combined? No! — review the career of Rome! The true source is the universal guide, upon which the government is founded, and by which our rulers govern. The Y. M. C. A. has a vital interest in insuring the future welfare of our land. From the ranks of the Y. M. C. A. come the best athletes, who win laurels and respect all over the country. From thence come men of character, who expect to do their duty. With effective workers at the ropes, and the great Pilot at the helm, the Normal Association has been truly successful. A pleasant reception was given to entering boys. Two dele- gates were sent to the Pacific Grove conventions, — one during the summer vacation, the other during the winter. A Bible study class has been carried on. Thursday evening prayer meetings have been held. From these we have taken increased devotion to the great cause and are all resolved to labor more zealously during the coming year. Merton E. Hill. Y. W. C. A. THIS month sees the close of perhaps the most successful 3 ' ear in the history of the Young Woman ' s Christian Association in our school. We began the year with an enthusiastic welcoming of the new students, helping them to find boarding places and desirable church homes, showing them the building and introducing them to Normal life, in every way trying to make them feel they had found friends. During October the Association was delightfully entertained and materially enriched by the Juniors. We will ever remem- ber the kindly good-will and appreciation of the Junior class of September, 1900. Early in the term we began a canvass for new members. The result was, our membership was raised from fifty to about one hundred and seventy. At the Hallowe ' en season, the new members and the ladies of the Faculty were entertained in a manner appropriate to that jolly time. Our reception to the new students in February was held in the Gymnasium. The attendance was large and everybody voted the afternoon a success. During the year the new V. W. C. A. room has been fur- nished. From this we hope to derive great benefit, for we have long felt the need of it. A thriving new Bible class has been started, which we hope will be the nucelus of a large work in this direction in September. Although the Association has had its failures and discourage- ments, and has not grown in every way as it has in numbers, we feel that it has been a good year indeed, and in many ways has paved the way for more aggressive work in the future. Our prospects are very bright, and we feel that next year our Asso- ciation may indeed fulfill its mission in our school, as never before. vSome Facts About Our Alma Mater Did you know: — That our school was established in 1882 with only 5 teachers; That we now have 34 teachers and 600 students: That we have had over 1200 graduates: That our new building was erected in 1893-4; That our Gymnasium was built in 1891; That our Assembly Hall will accommodate 1000 people: That our Physics Apparatus is valued at Si 200; That our Biological Apparatus is valued at $1200; That our Chemical Apparatus is valued at $800: That our Physical Culture Apparatus is valued at $800; That our Drawing Dept. Materials are valued at S500; That our Librars- contains 10,000 volumes valued at Si5,coo; That our yearly circulation of books is 30,000; That we have a fine Museum valued at $600; That we actually have 35 boj ' s enrolled: That w have three courses, Kindergarten, High School and Regular; That the Kindergarten Dept. was established in 1S97; That we have 300 children in the Training School: That we have 50 children in the Kindergarten; That the Art Decorations of the Assembly Hall are valued at Siooo, most of which has been given b} ' the several gradu- ating classes. That, in short, we have one of the best schools of the kind in the West and the standard is rapidly being raised A Senior ' s Impressions of Normal IMPRESSIONS of Normal 1 Has a Senior any impressions of Normal, except such part of the Normal as the Training School comprises? To be sure, a Senior spends half, j es, more than half, of her time upstairs, but it is life below stairs ' ' that occupies all her waking hours. Yea, verilj ' it occupieth her dreams, as well. For is there one Senior who has not gone thro ' the whole five steps of the recitation during the hours nature has provided for peaceful slumbers? But I shall Jiot dwell on the Training School, for that subject is as threadbare as the empty barrel joke. But to return to the parlor floor. What most impresses the Senior A? First there is her thesis which ought to have been written when she was a Senior B, ( or a Junior B or any time except Senior A), then there is the Seminar, which almost rivals the bliss of School Law. Also methods, which were invented for the Senior As special edification, and then, joy de la joy, reading from the platform. This you begin to dread when you are a Junior B, you dread it more when you are a Middle B, you gasp at the prospect when you are a Senior B, you shiver and shake at the thought of the ordeal when you are a Senior A. At last, one day, you go to room I, to Reading Methods. On the wall is a long list of names far more dreaded than the Black List in Mr. Sloyd ' s room. There it stands, one of Fate ' s sign posts along the highway of life. Oh terror, do you dare to examine it? Suppose -our own name should be there 1 Still it is your duty to look at it every week, so go boldly up. Don ' t try to sneak up when you think no one is looking. You may be half dead with fright, but don ' t let any one know it. Finally you venture nearer. One look suffices. There is your name. You are billed for Thursday. Then you begin to wish you had not looked at the list. Thursday might have come and gone without your knowing that you should have read. But soon the truth is forced upon you that there are more Thursdays coming. You might as well read this week and have it over. Finally the day arrives. You have had a foreboding that you would be tardy on that particular morning. In your anxiet3 ' to be on time, you get to school at 8:io. Every one who sees you asks, what is the matter? You look as pale as death. The answer, I am to read this morning, tells the whole story. What is that remarkably loud noise! Only the gong in the hall ringing. It is really time to go to Assembly. Chapel has begun. Pres. Pierce never read such a long selection before. No wonder Miss Hagan looks actually fero cious at the way that prayer is being chanted. Did you ever hear it dragged out like that? Will it never end? Is the Amen lost? Oh no, only delayed: Here it is at last. It is time to start toward the platform. You must take it slowly or you will be out of breath when you get there. On the way to the rostrum, you discover that you are holding your book upside down, but you have practiced your selection so many times that la makes no difference. In fact, von could say the poem backwards, without any book, ii it were necessary . That is the one thing you are sure of — you know your piece. There you are at last. You have not stepped on your dress, nor tripped on Mr. ' on Neumeyer ' s feet, nor fallen in a dead faint. Remarkable! You stand looking at the wide world below you. But it does not feel in the least as you expected. Your heart is not thumping; your voice is not quavering: our book is not shaking. You actually are not frightened at all. Then, does a thought of thanksgiving come stealing into your consciousness? No. You are so angry with yourself for having been worried almost into nervous prostration, that you refuse to speak to yourself for two weeks. You have to read from the platform once, or at most twice, but the joys of Seminar are ever recurring. Do not imagine. Senior B ' s, that you are going to find out what we do in Seminar. Into those mysteries you will enter in September. It costs more than eleven cents to be initiated too, if you allow anything for the wear and tear on your pencils. You bite and break them, in your nervousness, more than you did in History of Education. By the way, do you remember those exciting days, in the Historj ' of Education class, when there was no lecture, and instead we got acquainted? (I use go advisedly here. Webster defines it as obtained by force, or by exertion of great power. Certainly the term is suggestive of the way the answers to his questions were obtained.) The method hours are all fine, especially so for persons troubled with insomnia. If one method period stands out more prominently than another, it is the one where you learn baton-ing one hesitates to call such grotesque antics, and such wild gesticulation the use of the baton, but such, at least, it is intended for. Yes, you may nearly die with laughter when some one else is doing it, but try it yourself. Giving a model lesson in geography is bliss in comparison. These are not all the joys of the Senior A class but there are enough to make you change your opinion that Senior A ' s need not be so slow. You, like every one else, made up your mind that when you were a Senior A, there would be some- thing doing in the higher circle of Normalism. hit you changed vour mind. You ask, Is Senior A all dull grind? What a question! With five boys in the class, how could it be dull? Even if there were not all those boys, things could not be dull, there isn ' t time to be dull. If at times things get a little slow and sleepy, take a training school class to the gym. That will wake you up. But there are some really good things in store for the Senior A ' s. Among the good things is the Senior B party. When you were a Senior B, and worked like a Turk for the party to be given for the graduating class, you questioned whether the Senior A ' s cared whether there was a party or not. Now, when you are a Senior A, you can best answer this question. You hear that the Senior B ' s are working up a fine party. Do you care whether it comes off or not? Indeed you do. You look forward to it with utmost pleasure, and vote that the Senior B ' s are jewels. You say in your heart, and, what is of more vital interest, you say in your classroom, Three cheers for the Senior B ' s. Helen W. Bushnell, Summer ' oi. Independent and Spontaneous Play-activities o CHildren. vj V Reminiscent vj? j9 j9 MV first recollection of a made up ' ' play is as follows : My brother— he was a year older than I, but we were both little tots — took me by the hand and said, Come, George, we ' ll drive to the depot and meet your family and bring them back to my home. ' ' We then cantered or trotted or whatever you please to call the gait of our fiery steed up through the long apple orchard that separated our yard from our grandmother ' s, and we finally paused before a large elm by my grandmother ' s door. Here we met my family, con- sisting of ray wife, my eldest daughter, Jessie, a girl who remained eighteen as long as I knew her, and who was the most beautiful girl in the world, mv twin sons, Harr ' and Frank, and my daughter, Leila, a girl of fourteen or there- abouts. I do not remember my play previous to this about these people, nor how we decided that I was the father of a family and my brother F was a bachelor. We were, I think about four or five at that time, but rather old for our ages, as we had played with our mother more than any one else. We lived on the outskirts of a shady, sleep ' school-town in eastern Kansas. Our house, of the large and rambling kind, having been added to at need, was set far back on a three acre lot. The front yard was a well shaded lawn with a few set flowerbeds. Roses and pretty vines of all sorts grew in pro- fusion over the house. The back yard was divided into two parts, one including a wood shed, a laundry, a tower where ice was kept, and a large barn, the delight of our lives. The rest was put into fruit trees. We were too far from the child- ren we knew to make much visiting to and fro possible. So that F and I played together, and as was quite natural, I became a perfect tomboy, never caring for girls ' things. We both of us, by the way, never cared for set games but pre- ferred the ones we made up. The play I first told of was continued until everything else fitted into it. My family and I settled for good at my brother F ' s place, where there was a beautiful fountain filled with gold fish — this is the only detail I remember as we planned it at first. About this time my mother gave me the only doll 1 ever cared for, although, being for some time the only girl, my father had given me many beautiful ones. This was a rag- doll with ink marked features, which wechristened Bog-Iegged- Sam. In his life time he passed through many wonderful adventures. He was a criminal, and the .Brothers, our name for our play, hanged him. He was a sailor, but a storm came and he was drowned in the watering trough. We buried him for weeks and played he had been to China, and had come back to the Brothers to relate his experiences. These we would make up in turn. The silent one listening in open- mouthed amazement. Finally we buried him and forgot where he lay. We grieved for him but our attention was called to other things, for about this time we started to country school, where two new games developed. My brother had always played by himself to a certain extent. He would lie across something and talk to himself of battles and adventure. He objected to allowing anyone overhear what he was saying ; so when he would do this at school, the little girls headed by myself would tease him, calling out, play- by-self , ' ' ' ' play-by-self ' ' At first it angered him and he would chase us, but it gradually developed into the game of Bear, of which we grew very fond. I remember one curious incident which does not redound to my credit. The girls of the school were divided into two hostile parties. For diversion I proposed to my party that I should go to the other side as a spy. So we pretended to have quarreled and I joined the other side. My own party and I made faces at each other for several days, and call disagreeable names when the teacher was not around. This was fun at first, but I soon wearied of it and proposed to party number two that they should send me as spy to the other side. This pleased them and I was again changed. The faces I made the first time were nothing to those I made now. Our pet game of Brothers, we played until I was about fourteen. The brothers were twins. When my sister grew old enough to demand her part, we became triplets, but she was not of so much importance as the play could go on with- out her but not without us. We were the handsomest, wisest, richest and most accomplished men in the world. We had been elected joint President of the United States ever since we were old enough. We lived in New York City in a palace a mile square, in which there was a treasure room full of jewels and gold from our mines, which were constantly sending more. My daughter Jessie ' s ball dress cost a million dollars and was made of cobweb-lace. She always wore her hair hanging with diamonds caught in it. It reached to her feet and was a beauti- ful brown. We had boots of patent leather that changed color like a chanieleon. We wore irresistible armor, in which we fought great battles. A flying machine was also among our inventions. In this we made many wonderful trips which were usually accompanied with a breakage in the machinery causing us to be cast on some undiscovered island, where we always found a many-chambered cave, where we lived com- fortably, discovering many new strange animals. This play always took place on rainy days and the cave was built of chair and shawls. On clear days the Brothers were great hunt- ers. We used to make traps, catch birds, hunt berries and flowers, playing they were something else that we had run great risk to get. Of course we were the best hunters to be found anywhere. As we grew older we ceased to act out the Brothers, but only told them to each other. I did not like this sp well but my brother preferred it. There were many other games we used to play; one of note was, Pirate. ' ' We used to select a stick, put it on the stream and sail away to the Gulf for adventure. My brother, a boy friend and I were the party. They were to be the pirates and I watched the boat and attended to the spoils. We used to play robber ' ' Indian ' ' and relate imaginary advent- ure, all of which frightened me. We invented a card game, very much like euchre, I after- wards discovered. We also had a ball game somewhat compli- cated, but similar to pitch and catch. Out of this developed the imaginary game in which the Brothers were prominent. They gave a tournament for spear throwing. We would stand upon the piazza and hurl from us as far as possible a long pointed piece of wood (the spear). The object was to be the one who excelled in distance. A side play to the Brothers ' was, horse. My brother was always the horse and I the rider. He would prance about and I, seated on his back, would try to control him, which I usually did. When I had sent the steed back to the stables, I would turn to behold F one of the Brothers, who, after congratulating me on my horsemanship, would confess that it had quite won his heart, and ask me to marrj ' him. We would then, as the two Brothers, plan the wedding. We married F many times to this athletic young woman, but he would always be a bachelor by morning as his wife did not belong to our cast of characters. My brother, sister and I used to play theatre. We always required an audience, and would invite our parents and the servants to attend. In one play I was a slave and my brother my master. The scene in which he attempted to beat me and I broke away rushing into the audience, is still fresh in my mind. It must have been funny but I don ' t remember that we were ever laughed at or discouraged in our attempts. The plays engaged in by my sister and I were of a different charac- ter to this one, but as my brother did not approve of such senti- ment as was embodied in them, we never played them before him. One such, I remember distinctly. My sister and I were a beautiful prince and princess who had been suddenly trans- ported from our home by an envious fairy and set down in a country inhabited only by wicked, magical creatures. But we had had three charms with us in case of emergency. The dan- gers and difficulties we encountered and surmounted are not, perhaps, strikingly novel, but to us they were almost real, and we would be trembling with excitement as we selected a large and small stick, to throw them later, one to the right and one to the left of a large willow tree to propitiate the demon who lived therein. We also occupied much of our time by dressing up in our own ro 3ms as prince and princess and acting out such stories as these. More adventure of this nature was carried on one summer at my uncle ' s farm. His daughter and I planned a book of adventure, which was never written, however. If we saw a cow look at us and low, we would in ent the most wonderful stories of how we had been chased by wild herds, and many such groundless facts out of some suggestion or another. Our family used to camp in Colorado in the summer and here was a very good place for play. The game of Brothers continued, but as my brother was often absent fishing, other games became more prominent. The building of play tents and camp fires was the game most widely engaged in l)y the children of the camping party. During this time I used to play by myself a great deal, just rehearsing the prince and princess play or others similar to this. Later on, after our return home, we played mud pies and flying kite. When I was nine I had a birthday party, and my nine little friends had such a good time that we formed a reading club to meet every Saturdaj ' . Later on I belonged to a secret society in which we had our own language and cipher writing. Every- thing was mysterious about it but it had no object, as I remem- ber. A year after this, B and 1 edited a magazine, doing all the work even to the printing, which was writing. We issued two copies, but as there was not much demand for our paper we soon ceased this. All this and much more happened between the age of five and twelve. I have never ceased making up stories and plays although I have reached the age of . N. S. j j j Picttxre - - jS DOWN in the emerald meadow, Aglow with summer light, Breezes are playing hide and seek. Through grasses waving bright. Fragrant raspberries, red and lush. Hang over the low stone wall. Rivaling the flowers in dainty hue,. In breath surpassing them all. The meadow lark on the ruined gate. Is breathing divinest song. The woodpecker from the neighboring grove Is sounding his drowsy gong. And through the mellow warmth and glow Fairer than flowers, sweeter than song, With tiny baskets, hand in hand Two children wander along. The brook, grown silent when it hears The silvery music of their tones, As if ashamed of being heard, Slips quietly adown its stones. The grasses kiss their tender feet, The breezes toy with their hair. The flowers yield all their incense up. Before these mites so fair. And now they spy the old gray wall. With its treasures, red and sweet. What clear, wild shouts of glad surprise! What rush of tiny feet! Oh! picture framed in golden liglit! I see again each glowing face. The eager outstretched little hand;, The figures poised in perfect grace. I see the red lips grow more red. The fingers with their sweet rich stain. And I wonder if in all my life I ' ll see so fair a sight again. Nature Study in ' he Los Angeles vState Normal While nature study is conceded as a necessary part of the common school curriculum, it must be admitted that in practice much of it falls far short of what is expected. Indefiniteness of plan, disregard of natural interests of children, repetition of topics from grade to grade, and above all the lack of insight of the teacher as to the real aims and purposes of the subject, are responsible, in part at least, for this failure. The following synopsis of the nature study done in the training school of the Los Angeles State Normal, represents the progress made so far toward a solution of the difficulties just indicated, and an attempt to put the subject on a better pedagogical basis. No claim is made that the principles outlined or the course of study based upon them repre- sent a final solution of the problem, but simply what is in actual oper- ation in this school. It will continue to be revised and subjected to the most severe tests of ordinary school conditions. Synopsis. I. Theoretical Basis. — (I, 2, 6, 7, 16, 17). (a.) Environment being twofold, physical and social (that of civil- ization), both must be considered. As civilization advances less attention may be jiaid to the first but we are not ready to neglect it now, for the instincts formed during the race ' s complete dependence on nature are still strong. (b.) One of the chief aims in education is to give to the individual power to adapt himself to his environment. This adaptation does not depend so mucli upon the child ' s early training in special lines as satisfying certain natural tendencies. These tendencies or instincts aie what the race has found necessary to fit into environment, hence must be considered in the present environ- ment. The love of nature is probably one of the strongest instincts of the cliild during the ages from four to ten. (I, 2.) (c.) From the preceding it follows that the subject as related to Numbers refer to References. Ill scliools is valiiablo in prop.prtion td tlie opportunities out of school to secure contact with nature. It must not l)e taken for granted, however, that the subject should be neglected in favored localities. In such places the natural advantages should be made the most of. The country child sliould realize his opportunities so that he may appreciate his surroundings. (d.) Tlie problem in the early school years of the child is to bring into his life as mucli of nature as possible. In carrying out this greater aim, the lesser ones, such as habits of observation and interpretation, power of expression, etc., will be gained. (e.) Nature work has its greatest value in the kindergarten and early primary years, but is valuable in later years in furnishing an acquaintance witli and understanding of the common things of nature, and the power to interpret them. Purposes or. Aims. (Definitely stated.) (a.) Fundamental, satisfying natural interests, thereby giving basis for acces- sory development. (1,2.) (b.) Character building, considering character in the sense of being the adaptation of an individual to his physical and social environment. The best adaptation not only secures tlie immedi- ate but provides for the future. The latter can only be done by the individual giving something to his environment, whether physical or social, (e.g. Caring for animals and plants.) (1,7,17.) (c.) General culture. (1,3,4,5,10,11,13,14.) 1. Knowledge of the things of nature which all should know. 2. Training which may form a basis for future studies in pure scie nce, or application of science methods. 3. Experiences which may be useful in interpretation and production of literature. Application op Above. — {. l of II.) Three general lines of pro- cedure, (a.) Kringing into the child ' s experience as many things as pos- IV. sible in the school room directly, and outside by means of reports and collections, (b.) Co-operative study of the natural environment of the school, where the teacher organizes and directs the work. (c.) Caring for animals and plants, utilizing the industrial or human relations to nature, (e.g. The cow as a milk producer, dairies, etc. (I. 8.) Seleitio.n OP M. TERi. L — Two obJBcts to be kept in view, viz: — natural interests of the child at different ages, and availability of material. (a.) Interests. (I, 12, IS, 17.) Attributes such as form, size, color anil structure, which are usually emphasized in science lessons have very little interest to thecbild, while motion and use havevery great attractions. ' ' (1,1.) The animal as a moving object to secure and play with seems to attract the child at first. Soon is addeil to this a desire to tind out what it does. When this great object is reached, aside from interest in movements, the child is ready for something else. The spirit of competition may be used to advantage in many ways in all grades, (e.g. In securing specimens and in garden work.) (1,7.) Tendency to collect things should be made the most of. In the fifth and sixth grades group activity may be secured by forming naturalist ' s chibs. (1,16.) (b.) Material. Chief source of material is in the immediate environment of the school. The material at hand is u.sed, for it is most easily obtained and careii for. The outdoor studies center around the garden work. The studies of animals and plants in field excursions, and in the class room are expected tostimu- ulate observation out of school hours. All outside experiences are used so that the pupil nuiy put a value on them, and have a « desire to increase them. Other things being eiiual, the material is always selected which will ct nform to the general aim of the sub- ject. 1,11, a, 1), c.) V. Method. — (All of II.) General method has already been indi- cated. Nature study differs somewhat from other subjects in having two phases of presentation, requiring different methods. (a.) Observation. The child must gain his experiences from actual contact or close observation. He must be led or directed in such a way that the great facts of whatever is observed may be seen and appreciated, and not covered up in a mass of details. Usually the child naturally selects, as his center of interest, the most important characters. The questions which arise should be answered by the object itself as far as possible, (b.) Recitation. The basis of the recitation is what has been previously observed. All points relating to the subject should be recalled by the pupil and definitely expressed. The recitation should stimulate accurate and extended observation, eo that the pupil may use his time better when new material is taken up. VI. Facts to be Kept in Mind in Handling Materi. l in Obser- vations OR recitation. Nature studv has largelv to do with the relations of things. (I, 14). 1. To the whole of which the object is a part. 2. To natural environment. 3. To past and future. 4. To other individuals, similar or otherwise. 5. To cause and effect. 6. To man. 7. To Creator. Natural laws. 8. To other school work. Recognizing that the chief interest is not in the structure but activities of animals and plants, the following is suggested : All Living Organisms are at Work and all are Doing (each in its own way) the Same Kind of Work, viz : (a.) Its own support. 1. Nutrition (food and oxygen). 2. Protection (enemies, etc.) (b. ) Production and care of organisms like itself. Animals. — (III, 27, 28.) The animal body must be adapted to secure the essentials of life for itself and young in its particular environ- ment. With some, this region is extremely limited, because the animal is adapted to conditions which have a very restricted area, (e.g. Even or uniform temperature, water, etc.) These adapta- tions may be classified as follows: 1. Food securing. 2. Airsecuring. 3. Self protection. 4. Rival- ry. 5. Defense and care of young. 6. Surroundings. 1. In gettivg food two things must be considered. (a.) Nature of food, and how secured or captured, (e.g. If the food of a certain animal consists of roots of plants, it must be able to dig them up, or make burrows to reach them, . ' ifter reaching them the teeth and jaws must be adapted, to breaking them off.) (b. ) How food is managed after being secured i.e. whether dis- posed of at once and how (by teeth or other means) or stored up for future use. 2. The adaptations for securing oxygen are easily determined. If from air, by means of lungs or air tubes; if from water, by means of gills. 3. The animal may protect itself in any of several ways, or by a combination of all or part of tliese. (a.) Hiding, using some means of shelter, either from view or from direct attack of the enemy, (b.) Defending itself by inflicting some injury on enemy, as biting, stinging, etc. (c.) Running away, and thus escaping, (d.) Imitating in color or form its surroundings in such a way as not to be seen. (e.) Imitating some animal known to be dangerous, (f.) Being provided with protective armor which successfully repels attacks. These suo-g-estions are e.xpected to help teachers in preparititr Icsson-platis by keeping the great facts of animals and plants before them. 4. ft. {Often the same adaptations whicli wil( secure pro ' ection zvi l also help in securing food. ) Rivalry among memliers of its own spociep, (e.g. lirilliaiit plum- age of certain male birds.) The animal must care for its young. In general t his care depi ' nds upon the individuals in the family. An interesting way to consider this subject is to study the life histories of animals. In many cases this is possible. The same questions as to food, oxygen, ene- mies, etc., are to be noted in study of the care of the young, except that the parent may provide for all or part of the essentials for existence. (Kgg, scale insect, ants, kangaroo, etc.) Animals must adajjt themselves to their surroundini s. Some of the factors are seasons, climate, water, dryness, etc. SrfiGK.STioxs KOR Study of Insects.

Types. — Underground (the common type), aquatic (adapted for getting free water), aerial (adapted for getting water from air), parasite (adapted for getting water and food from other plants), clinging (modified for support). Additional points to be kept in mind in the study of plants : Life History . — If flowering plant, form and parts of seed, mode of dispersal, food supply, stages of germination, disposal of seed- coats in germination, etc. Environment. — Soil, dry or wet. Character of soil (sand, clay, etc.) Power of soil to retain moisture. Elevation. Exposureto sun and winds. Relation to other plants. Food. — Adaptation of the plant for getting nourisiiment from the ground. Character of the roots. Adaptation for getting sunlight Character of the stem as regards leaf display. (Erect, climbing, etc.) Arrangement and shape of the leaves. Structure of the leaves in regaril to protection from too much sunlight, or too free trans- piration. Relation of this structure to the plant ' s ability to thrive under various conditions. Effect of dry weather on plant. Enemies. — Plant enemies (rusts, mildews, etc ) Animal enemies, means of protection from. Relation to man. Useful or harmful. If harmful (a weed) points that make it so (rate of growth, repro- duction, etc.) Reproductioti. — Two methods. 1. Vegetative (ordinary growing process). 2. Special bodies (spores of lower plants and seeds of flowering plants). Sdgkestions for the Study of Flowers. Purpose of the flower twofold : (a.) Secure pollination, (b.) Pro- tect the developing seed. (IV, 52.) (a.) Pollination. This means the transfer of pollen, usually from the pollen sacs of the flower to the stigma of another, sometimes to its own stigma. When this is done, certain changes begin in the ovary of the flower whose stigma receives the pollen, result- ing ultimately in the formation of the seed. Without this process (pollination) no seed can be formed. To secure pollination is the first problem of the flower. There are almost as many ways of working it out as there are kinds of flowers. Two means of trans- fer of pollen are available — wind and animals (chiefly insects.) 1. IVind. — When this method is used the following adaptations are necessary : a. Plants or flowers must be close together, b. Large amount of pollen, c. Large expanse of stigma. (Illus- trated by the oats, wheat, pine, etc.) 2. Insects. — Three adaptations, a. Prevention of self-pollination. b. Securing visits from desirable insects, c. Preventing visits from undesirable visitors. (a.) Prevention of self-pollination. The dangers of self-pollination arise only in flowers that have both stamens and pistil. The stigma of the pistil is said to be mature when it has upon it a sweetish, sticky fluid which holds the pollen. Unless the stigma is in this condition the pollen will not cause development of the seed in the ovary nf the pistil. The pollen is mature when it is shedding or ready to fall from pollen sacs. There are many devices for preventing pollination, but most of them may be incluiled in three general methods ; 1. Position, (flower so constructed as to be impossible for the pollen to reach its own stigma.) 2. C msecutive maturity, (pol- len and stigma maturing at different times.) 3. Difference in pollen. (b ) Cross-pollination by means of insects : Some inducement must be offered, such as nectar, pollen, or, in , some cases, shelter. Color and odor serve as guides to location of flowers. The flower must be so con- structed as to compel the insect to touch the pollen ' P ' ff in one flower and rub sol le off on the stigma of the other. Each flower has its own way, hence the ' variety. (c ) Undesirable insects Only flying insects are useful, but crawl- ing insects are attracted. Some of the adaptations for keeping them away are — hairs, glandular secretions, water reservoirs, move- ments, milk or glue, structure of flower, bloom, position of flower, etc. (b.) Protection of developing seed. In general the developing seed is protected in two ways by me- chanical means such as the plant protects itself with ( thorns, etc ) or chemical, having the part around the seed bitter or poi.-ionous. . 11 parts of the flower, which are concerned in jwUination alone and do not help protect the growing .seed, drop off or wither.

For this a pail and net (with long handle) will be useful. Some provision for keeping the feet dry, rubbers or rubber boots. When to go. Any time after the 20th of Jan. Similar outlines have beeo prepared for all { rade i Where to go. ■ BXii ■ - ' ' ' 1 ' ' place where water has been K B mf ' standing for some time. The pools y ft ' Sf ' ' ii ' ong the Los Angeles river may be wSf S reached by taking the Daly street car W at the Buena Vista street bridge. a Ponds at the parks at unfreiiuented parts. Eggs are usually found in the garden pond. How to hunt frogs and toads. No specific directions ought to be necessary for this. They will usually be found along the edges of the pond and will jump into the water when frightened. They will soon come to the top of the water for air, when they may be seen and caught with the net. When caught they should be put in a covered pail or sack, care being taken to give them enough air. Where to find eggs. Eggs will likely be found wliere the frogs and toad; are. It may take some careful hunting to find them. They are usually in shallow water near the bank. Frog eggs are in rather large gel- atinous masses clinging to sticks or plants. Each egg has in its center a small black or dark spot (the egg proper). See preserved specimens. Toad eggs are deposited in similar manner, but are distin- guished from frog eggs by being in strings, and are not always attached to sticks. See preserved specimens. As fast as they are gathered they should be placed in water. Toads — What to do with them. Places should be prepared for them as nearly like their natural surroundings as possible, and should be covered with netting to keep them from escaping. A dish of fresh water should be in the box. Care should be taken to have the box always clean. Frogs — They may be kejit in the same place as the toads. Feeding. Both frogs and toads are fond of small living animals sucii as worms and insects. Eggs. For the later stages put part of the eggs in the garden pond , The remainder, not too many, may be put in gla.«8 globes. Several should be put in shallow dishes ( ' 2 doz. in each) for individual observation. Care must be taken to keep the water well aerated. This may be done by changing the water frecjuently or by forcing air into the water by means of a bicycle pump. In all cases the natural pond conditions should be imitated. Observations. These should be madeoutsi le of recitation periodson the animals in the school room. One tripto the garden pondsliould be made each week to compare with other si)ecimens. Thechanges are rapid at first but less rapid as the animal grows older. Things to be observed. Account of number from time to time. It will be found that the number of individuals will gradually decrease. ( Some reasons for this decrease — lack of food, lack J m ' ' ' enemies. What kind? Other causes? m Comparison of rate of growth of those in the pond V with those in the school room. Explanation of this difference, if possible Does the number of individuals have anything to do with the growth? Under what conditions are the individuals the largest? Smallest? Change in individuals. (Keep record on blackboard. ' Does the little black center change shape? Wlien does the animal begin to move in the egg? When does the animal break from the egg? (Hatch.) What does it do when it hatches? When does it begin to swim? What does it do when it is not swimming? (Pemains usually fastened by V-shaped sucker to some object.) In what part of the jar is it generally located? Is there any reason why it likes this part of the jar better than the other parts ' . ' Is there any difference in the position of the animals just before and just after giving them air? Feeding. They use small plants on the stones (slime) for food. New slime- covered stones should be added from time to time. Examine the stones after they have been in the water with the animals for some time. They may be fed with fresh meat or coarse meal. Later changes. Rig heads, legs, disappearance of tail. (Gradu- ally?) Significance of coming to the top of the water? (Using new lungs.) Final transformation. Beginning of life on land. Along with the study of these transformations from egg to frog or toad, observations should be made on the habits of the frogs and toads which are kept in the room. Toads They mav be kept in the way already indicated, being careful to keep the place cool and damp The vessel holding the animals should be covered witli netting or wire screening so that they may he seen easily Pupils must be quiet while watching the animals. The food consists of any small creeping or crawling animals. These must be alive. Pupils may bring in insects, worms, caterpillars, etc. Points to be noticed. Account should be taken of the number eaten in a given time. These accounts should be repeated from time to time. Estimates may then be made of the number of insects and other animals destroyed in a season. Way of disposing of different kinds of food. Breathing. Nostrils opening and closing. Habits as to darkness and light to be observed at home by as many of the pupils as possible. Encourage the pupils to have one or more toads at home in garden or yard. They will probably remain if put in a dam|i, cool, shaily place where they can hide in day time. The animals plioulil not be disturbed at first. They must get used to their home and not be handled roughly. Frogs — Vhey may be kept in the way already indicated. Try the same food as with toads. Observe same points and make compar- isons. Recitations — Whenever necessary the time may be taken to care for the animals without any attempt to teach. Throughout the whole course r subject the teacher must guide the pupils rather than teach in a formal way. Refer, when pos- sible, to tlie nbjects for answer? to questions. The recitations should consist in putting together from time to time what has been seen, comparing records of individual ' pupils, and referring back to the objects to settle undecided questions, putting the final results, it important, on the board. The subjects indicated under points to be observed will afford abundant material. The life history of frog and toad will occupy under favorable condi- tions about two or three months. The changes are most striking and rapid in the first and last stages, and therefore should receive the must attention. Expression Drawings should be made from time to time so that the life history may be represented in all forms of expression (oral, written, and by drawings). General aim The general aim is not so much to bring out the different facts as such, but to bring the pupils in as natural a way as possible in contact and in sympathy with some of the most common and un- ai preciated animals. The life of the frog or toad with its strug- gles, activitie. ' , and dangers should be a revelation to inspire a desire for similar knowledge of other forms of animal life. Salamander. This animal is related to the frog and toad, and may be kept under the same conditions Where found. In the water in most of the canyons near Los Angeles from Jan- uary to April. At this time they are swim- ming in the water, and may be kept in water for several months, but will probably thrive better if put under similar conditions as indi- cated for fro ' and toad. Points to be observed. General character. — smooth skin, legs, tail, mouth, etc. Compare with frog and toad. - HdW does the animal breathe? Watch move- ments. When in the water does it come to the top to breathe? If so, how often? Look for bubbles of air? What part of the head do they seem to came from? Watch the animal get food. Feed flies or worms Put small piece of meat on end of wire or stick and pass several times in front of its mouth The animal may sometimes be induced to take food in this way. How does the animal move through the water? Watch crawling movements on a board. Compare the two movements. Other points may be suggested to the teacher as the animals are watched from time to time Eggs — These may be found in the streams with the salamanders, about the middle of March. They will be found in small bunches clinging to sticks and weeds in much the same way as the eggs of frogs. See preserved specimens. How taken care of. Same as the eggs of frogs and toads. The devel- opment is much slower. They may be seen mov- ing about in the egg long before they hatch. ' Af ter hatching they may be cared for in the same way as the tadpoles of the frog and toad. The time of complete change into adult animals will be several months (6-9). Points to be noticed — Same as frog and toad. CoiMi)are. The gills of the young salamander are not covered as in the tad- poles, but may V e seen as a friii(!;e arnuTul tlio liend. Tlie general suggestions about the frog and toad will npply in tlic study of the salamander and its life history. Garden Work. This consists of occasional observations on the commercial plants which were planted during the previous term, and faking care of them when they arc ready to be harvested. In connection w i t b this some time may be given to the methods in actual use on the California ranch in harvesting and caring for the products such as wheat, barley, befts, etc. Plants. The object of this study is to get acquainted with the common wild plants, both native and introduced. This object includes the recognition by means of flower, and as far as possible by other characters such as leaves and seed As each plant is studied not only are its general characters observed, but as tar as possible the adaptation of its flowers to secure pollination. Method — Nospecific directionscan be given liere. The teacher mu«t select .someof the main factsabout theplant and seethattbe pupils observe and describe them. The real test is whether the child can recognize the plant and recall the name, or if the name is given to be able to .select the plant VJ from among others. Such infornia- tion as is necessary for the teacher ' s .) ___ preparation may be obtained from m - - Vv ni the references. ' J _j T7 ,J5 _ ° V ' Collecting and caring for specimens. As far as possilile have the children bring in their own specimens. Those plants in the immediate vicinity of the Normal may be gathered by the class in field lessons. Kach pupil should preserve and mount a si)eein)en of each jilanl studied. These specimens, when linisbed, will furnish material for review. Fourth Grade. (Three twenty-five minute periods per week.)
