THE GLEAVII 19 GBM Irearhrra. I HE Eighth Wonder of the VVorld-our History Teacher. She is what you might call a living library, in which such histories as, Montgomery, Mc- Master, Ridpath, and above all Fiske and Green stand. Oh! how we missed her' familiar' voice when she was sick, and we especially missed her saying in her own peculiar way, 'This is a very important point, and t'You may take thief' or' Take this topic and do not wander' away from the point. Ar'en't you happy when you are expecting to get the next hard question, to have some one to say something yerylaughable for our History 'leacher can laugh a good old hearty laugh although she sometimes looks, when we do not know our les son, as rf she never had laughed and never expected to fhough we have had to worry ourselw es nearly to death on account of History debates, essays and tests, we now really do know that Alfred the Great was the hrst English King, that Lromws ell was a Puritan, and that George Washrngton was commander rn chref rn the Anrerrcan Revolutron, and that he chopped down hrs father s cherry tree, and we give Vlrss Phelps all the credit of our extraordinary knowledge Phe time passes quickly rn the Latin room Our meetings are not always of the Quaker kind Perhaps this rs caused by the srngrng class recently organized from the old senror Latin class wrth Professor Bryant as rnstructor and director VVe practice ever y day and some are getting on Just fine, whrle others are merely getting on VS e are srngrng Vrrgrl s 2:Enerd, occas ronally we have sore throats But Prof Bryant does not worry so much about the singing sometrmes called scanning the Latin lesson or reading rt with the Lae ura pause as he does about other things Prof Bryant's love for verbs and hrs anxiety for the derrvatron of all wor ds keep the class rn a rather alarmed condrtron We often become very weak and suddenly find ourselves unable to rrse from our chairs But we never go rn Pr of Bryant s room rn 'r really exhausted condrtron We walk frrnr and steady, for Prof Bryant rs our friend He does not grve us tests We thrnk he has abolrshed that old time method and rf he has, he rs about the m rst progressive teacher rn our burldrng, for we do not know another who rs able to appreciate the ralne of thrs very new system Then the questron 4 Is the world growing better W does not need our answer IF Pr of Bryant can get the other teachers to see the real wor th of the system he rs advancing What Senror rs there who does not remember how he always awaited with pleasure the comrng of the fourth per10d7 Why should he be so eager for rt to come?
