GERE wc have probably the most important of our departments, for according to G. H. Palmer, the final test of a man's culture lies in his language. The department accommodates a large number of students—at least seven-hundred ten every day. We might subdivide our term language into two heads, foreign languages, and English. That our outline may be still more logical and complete, we may say that under foreign languages we have a rival of Cicero himself in Miss Apthorp, lover of cats and detestor of ponies,—also a veritable Bismarck in German and a Santa Claus of fun in the person of Mr. Rochm. Our English department is of equal fame.—Miss Peake, furthcrcr of literature and library readings, and patroness of many literary organizations; and Miss Baglcy. who gives us all a firm foundation in English grammar, which is as necessary to a pedagogue as wings to a bat. True ease in writing comes from art. not chance. As they move easiest who have learned to dance. Therefore Miss Sheldon and Miss Holmes arc certainly qualified to reveal to us the mysteries of wielding an easy and graceful pen (in composition, not drawing). Miss Coffman teaches literature and composition, and shows with emphasis her force not only in gaining followers in English, but also in gaining speakers for morning exercises. Then, too, we have in Miss Hinlccl one who teaches us restraint ami cultivation of speech in expressive reading classes, and of actions in trips to distant schools of learning. The last but by no means the least ones (unless perhaps in size) we have Miss Encking and Miss Potter, keepers of the keys of learning. guides as well as guards in the king’s treasury.”
