Greetings from the President Every year brings opportunity for THE PERliVJA:-1 to put in permanent form for the archi ves some special feature of school life. The 1919 volume will publish the names of all Alumni an d students w ho served in the World War. This Honor R oll will include more than five hundred names. The number is surprisi ng to our f ri ends, but not to those of us \\·ho know th e heart of a Peruvian. IVIcn w ho early in life enrolled in a normal school definitely dedicated themselves to publ ic service. W hen their country called, they could not refuse larger ser vice. We arc proud of these men. We rejoice that so many from the ran ks and at Officers' T raining Schools won their commissions. Words are so meaningless when ,,.e come to speak ou r appreciation of those who made the su preme sacrifice, but the years of ou r lives will not be enough to blot out their memories. As they died to ma ke the " ·o rl d safe fo r Democracy, shall we not here and now ded icate our lives, ou r talents, atid our p rofessional honor to so teach and live that these dead shall not have died in vain ? As America leaps f rom I solation to World L eadership, she goes for th with confidence because her heart is true. May the C lass of 1919 and all other true Peruvia ns play each his part in the making of you ng citizens " ·orthy of such responsibility. In our devotion to larger causes, let us not forget that the war h as worked havoc to ou r Alma Mater. The enrollment is the smallest in years. T he spirit is fine. The faculty is more devoted and , if possible, more sympathetic towa rd the student body than ever before. The physical equi pment is being materially improved from year to year. R ally to your old school! Sing her praises from the hill tops! Exalt her name in the valleys and sp read he r fame abroad upon ou r " ·estern prairies that an ever increasing stream of stude nts may be coming Peruward ! The school authorities are putt ing forth their best efforts to live up to the traditions of the school and to meet the obligation newly thrust upon them in this reconstruction period. In the final analysis, however, the f uture of Peru rests " ·i th you, Class of 1919, and "·ith like groups w hich have preceded yours. Pe ru " ·ill be j udgcd by your lives and your professional ser vice. We trust you. Heed this message fro m you r Alma 1\IIater. " Do you kn ow th at your soul is of my soul such a part, T hat you seem to be fiber and co re of my hea rt, None othe r ca n praise me, as you, child , can d o, None other can pain me or please me a~ you. "R emember the world will be q uick "·ith its blame, If shadow or stain ever darkens you r name, Like mother, like child , is a saying so true, The world will judge mother la rgely by you . " Be this then your ta~k. if task it ~ha ll he, To force this proud world to do homage to me, Be sure it will say when its nrd ict is file d, She reaps as she sowed, th is one is h er child." -Adapted.

Our Golden Opportunity I n the fifty yea rs of P eru's histo ry, there has never been a more g olden opportunity offered fo r ser vice than this en1 of reco nstn~et io n fo ll o\\·ing th e four ~Tars of t h e wo rld 's most destructive period. Trained teachers must be procured in far g r eate r num be rs tha n a t pn:sent 111 ord e 1· to supply the ever increasing demand , o r "De moc racy \\· il l not be kept safe" fo r coming generations. P er u has equipment enoug h to keep in traJllJ nJ_{ o n e th o usand teac hers a nnu a ll~- , which is none too many to suppl y the demand in he r 0\\" 11 te rritory. :\"ow is the time for every alumnus, fo rm e r Penl\·ian , a nd f ri end o f edt Jc ation to encourage young men and women to prepa re fo r th e profess ion o f te;tc h i n g. by attending P eru. The pledge of P eru Al umni is : " I hereby pledge mysel f to pers tJade ea c h ~-(';tl" some you ng man or woman to ente r school, to prepare himscl f or h crsel f fo •· t h e teaching profession-which I believe to be t he noblest pro fessio n ." A man may bui ld a monument of the finest grandeur, but in time it \\·i II c n nn hi e to dust. H e may achieve fame and becom e a \\·o ri el c h arac ter, yet in ;tg es to come he will be fo rgotten. But a teacher who tra ins a child fo r righteous li v in g. h t1ilds fo r eternity.

DR. \V. A. CLARK

;

Peru has always been fortu nate in st ro ng men to guide her d estinies. A mong th e st rongest of t hese was t he late Dr. \ V. A. C lark, w ho passed to his r eward Novem ber 13, at his home in I' irks,· ill e, l\ Iissouri . He ranked as one of the best educators in the Central V.Test. "All ,,·ill remember hi m as a warm personal frie nd, a cl ear-minded, fo rward -looki ng lead er. No president of this school had a b roader academ ic p reparation than Dr. C lark. At t hat time, he held a l\IIaste r's degree f rom t he Ha rva rd , and a Doctor's d eg ree fro m t he C hicago U niversit y. Since leaving Pe r u, he has held t\\·o important positions. From 1905 to 1908, he \\·as head of the depa r t ment of psychology and pedagogy and clean of t he Kearney State ;\'onnal School. Since t hat time, he has been head professor of edu cation and psychology at th e K irksville, I\tlo., State No rma l School. " I t is remarkable t hat the attend ing ph)·sician could llnd no immed iate cause for his death. He simp! )· wore out in se rvice, l ite rall y giving his l ife for othe rs t ha t t heir l ives mig h t be mo re abunda n t. ~o task ,,·as too g reat, no deed of kindness too small for him to u nd ::: rtake fo r an y student o r friend. It is a mod est estimate t hat he touched , in thei r im pressionab le years, th irty thousand young people. T hru t hese lives, enriched hy this personal tou ch \l·it h a great teacher, his professional sou l is triumphantly marching on. He \\·as a man of simple fait h, active in all chu rch and Su nday School ,,·ork. L n ti l the closing weeks of his lifr, he took an active part in civic affai r,;, local and national."

An Appreciation There is no mind so subtle and so penetrating; t here is no record so com jnc hc ns ivc; th ere are no fig ures so exact and cunning as to be ab le to disclose t he m ag n it u de of t h e loss our instit ution suffers in the departu re of Professor G regg. Yet we can rea l izc fourtee n years ; \\·e have had th e core of his professiona l I i fc. Y ct \\·e ca n rca I ize but partially and express but fractionall v the t r ue value of h is se r vice. It is possible to say of some men \\·ha; we say of proved, sifted, choice books : t h at they are classical. The spirit of :\ Ir. Gregg has a lways str uck me as not able fo t· a pure classical quality-delicate, comprehensive, intense. Sure of h is g rou n d, agg r essive, c\·en miliUIIl t, he is like\\'ise modest , tolerant, humoro us, receptive. A l toget h er a rare man. doing big tasks and !ittle ones in \\·ork~nan li ke fashion; co u rageo us i n Iarg:e ente rprises, re lieving rou t ine of its drud gery by o rde rly system, happy i nventio n , and compel! ing good \\·ifl. :\I r.

The Junior High School The Peru Junior High School, consisting of seventh, eigh th, ninth , and tenth grades, has maintained its former high standing this year under the able direc tion of Dr. G. C. Cast. The course of stud y has been organized to meet the needs of the yo uth of P e ru and vicinity, and and effort is being made to adjust th e work to th e s pecial n eed s of individuals. Normal students who are preparing to en ter Jun ior Hig h Sch ool ,,·ork find here an excellent opportun ity for practice, each in his special I ine, as well as to come closely in touch ''"ith some of the problems of Junior hig h school o rg an ization and administration. The plan of supervised stu dy, in augu rated last year, has met n ·ith g 1·atifyi ng r es ults. The high school pupils is by this means g uid ed t h ru his difficulties and the student teacher profits by the ex perience in dealing n·ith this most important phase of school work. Vocational training is being introduced th ru the E ng ! ish n ·ork and in a se ri es of tal ks to the boys. A carefull y-planned , well -round ed course of ph ysica l train ing and athletics is given to both boys and girls. The boys of the hig h sch ool basket ball team acquitted themselves very creditably in a series of g ames durin g the season. E ach cl ass has its o"·n organization, and class chapel exe rc ises, school a cti vities, an d social fun ctions are planned and directed by the pupils themselves, thus encourag in g the initiative of the pupils and developing the qua lity of self- relian ce. Th e Junior Hig h School cont ributed ve ry libera lly to th e A llied 'Var Relief Fund. It is also enroll ed "·ith one hu ndred per cent membership in the Junior R ed C ross, and evidence of the pcn ·aili ng spirit of th rift and patriotism.

OR\"ILLE RALSTON

Ralston as We Knew Him

·~

Lieu tenant 0 rvill e A. Ral ston is one of the P eru boys th at " ·cnt over the top to fame in the g reat ad venture o f \\" a r , having been one o f the fe \\" A mericans to attain the r a nk o f flCI' as a fi ghter i;1 th ~ Hying squ ad ron. ·As h e \\·as one of the ea rliest \·oluntee rs fo r the a viation co rps, this coun try di d not have necessa ry training schools, so h e \\·cnt to Canad a to t r ain " ·ith the aviators of " Our Lad y of the Snows", at Toro nto. L a te r he \\"as transferred to Kell ey F ield , in T exas, as an instructor in training American av iators. His final training \\·as received in E ngland nea r th e prehistoric Druid n~onuments, at Ston ehenge. F or a time he \\"as empl oyed in the c ross-C hannel se rv ice bet w een " Bi ighty" and France, but got into the active service soon enou gh to d own his fifth Hun m achine before the armistice \\·as signed . Wh at eve r his ca ree r and accom plishments, past or fut ure, he is likely to remain as "Wab" to his frie nds in P e ru- the boy inca rnate, athl etic, da ring, mischief-loving, but a hY ays m anl y, and gen erous to a fault. H e was perhaps th e most popula r and best boy in sch ool in all st ud ent acti vi ties, from athl etics to Y. i\I. C. A \York. His pen chant for m ischief led him into ma ny a pran k in any departu re from str ict justice in himself and oth ers, and tha t led him to do good \\·ork in his classes. As in the d eparture fo r th e g reat ad ,·enture of \\·ar, so in the g reater ad vent u re of li fe , \\"e echo Riley in saying, " Good bye, vVab; t ake kee r o f ye rself. " You have etch ('d your name on ou r hearts, as " ·ell as on th e \\"ind ows o f the Science Building . \ V . R. HoYT.

As th e primary purpose of th e Students' .-\nny Training Corps has been to utilize th e <':-.e~u!i\·c and teaching perso nnel a nd the physical equ ipment of the educational insti tu~id: 's in the training of office r-candidates to meet th e needs of the service, 1 11 i li tar~· ~! ri ll plays a \Try impo rtant part in th e curriula of both th'e Collegiate and \ · ne:rtional sect ions. rnle objects and ath·;llltages of mil ita ry t ralll lllg arc many, the most important bei 11 1! t he hu if ding u p of d iscipl inc, the habit of obeying, which is absolutely essential to t htc s: nooth run n ing of a military machine. In o rder to insure the success of any man cu\Tr. th e w ill of the co mmander as ex pressed throug h his su bordinates d0\n1 t he line from the second in command to the squad lead ers, must be carried ou t by everyone. ::'\ext in importance comes team\\·o rk, " ·here indi,·id ual ity is elimin ated a nd the m en of each squ ad work together as a si ng le m an. Being able to ,,·ork side by s ide with the m :111 next you. cooperation in its l:trgcst sense, leads to perfect control of the bod y, which , \\·ith th e habit of discipline th a t the soldier acquires, leads to control of the mind , this being a most important factor in success in an y "·alk of li fe. Further advantages of military trainin g a re. o rderliness, self-confid ence and self-respect. In the mi l itary sen·icc. order and s1·srem arc "·atd1\l·o rds. The ca re that t he soldier is req u i rcd to gi vc at all times to h.is cl othcs, accou term en ts, and other belong ings instill in hi m habits of orderliness. Self-confide nce comes from o ne's ability to do things. T he so ldier is tau g ht to do thi ngs for himself. H e is told to do a ce rtain thing, but tlw manner of accomplishment is ,·er~· seldom included in the order. A s his 0\\·n r eso urces arc thus called into action, confidence in his ab ility is therefore estab lished . Respect for ro nstitutecl aut hority, "·hich is a part o f th e soldier's creed, teaches him respect for himsel f-self-respcct. Last, but no t least, is the sou nd body which in variably foll ows military t r ai ning \\·ith its dri lls, marches, and other forms of ph ysica l exe rcise. A so und body means good digestio n. strength , hardiness and endu rance, which arc amon g- the g r eatest blessings of li fe. The S. A. T. C. \\·as o rga nized as In fant ry. T he di,·isions arc as follows: Pl atoon . forty-five to fi fty men; company. fo ur platoons ; battalion, fo ur companies, and regi ments of th ree batta lions. If a un it should contai n one h undred men or less, it was orga n ized as a compa n~· \\·ith two platoons onl y. T he alloted t inw to drill for the collegiate sections \\·as cfc,·en hou rs per \\·eek, and for the ,·ocational sections. fi ftee n hours and thirtv min utes per 11·eek.

Discipline D~sc ipli~te i~ not merely prc:;e n ·ation of order , faithfu l performance of duty and prc\Tilttort ot offences-in other ,,·ords, d iscipline is not merely compliance ,,·ith a set of regul atio ns drawn up for the purpose of preserving order in an organization. This r:; o nl y o ne phase of disci pline. In its deeper and more important se nse discipline may be defi ned as th e habit of instantaneous and distinctiYe obed ience under any and all cin.: umstances-it is th e habit ,,·hereby the verv muscles of the sold ier instinctiYeh · obey t he wore! of command, so that u nder whate,;er circum:;tanccs of danger or deatit t he soldier ma r lwa r th at w ord of command, e\·cn t hough his mind be too confused to work, his muscles ,,·i ll obey. I t is toward t his ultimate object that all rules of disci pi irH' te nd . In ,,.a r th e ,·a lue of this habit of instantaneous and instincti,·e obedi~ n cc i~ ill\·alu ab lc, and during the time of peace e\·e rythin g possible should be done to rngrai n into the \·c ry blood of th e soldie r this spirit. this habit, of instantaneous, instincti,·e obed ience to t he ,,·o rd of command.

In so me cou ntries discip line has been developed in a manner ,,·hereby t he soldier ~,·as so inured to a habit of subjection that he beca me a sort of machine. Such a system of d iscipline. \\·hich answered ad mirabl y " ·ell its purpose, " ·ould not do at all at t he present time \\·here democracy reig ns. Of co urse the disci pline that "·ill insure obedience u nder an y and all co nditions, the discipl ine that "·ill insure prompt and un hesitati ng obedience to march, to attack, to charge-is j ust as important today as it was a thousand years ago, but "·e cannot attain it b,· the machine-making methods. 1~h e system we usc must he in keeping wi th th e . natio nal cha racteristics of our peo ple and t he tactical necessities of t he day, th e latter requ iring individual initiative. According to the o ld system t he company commander imposed his w ill upon a body of su bmissi,·e units; under the new system t he company commander, backed by authority and g reater knowl edge, leads to obedient, will ing units, exacting ready obedience and loya l cooperation. T he compan y comm ander used to dri ve; no\\· he le.ad s. Experience sho\\·s t hat dri ll , routin e, military courtesy, atten tion to details, prope r a\\'ards for good conduct, and invariabl e admonitions or punishment of all derelictions of duty, arc t he best methods of attaining good discip line- that they are the most effect i\-e means to that encl. To attai n discipline an explanation is necessary to t he me n of the importance of discipline and its value on the field; also th e reasons t hat make it necessary to subject sold iers to restrictions that they are not subjected to in civil li fe. U nn ecessa rv rest rictions or ha rdshi ps shou ld not be imposed o n the men, nor ord ers issued t hat hav.e no -beari ng 011 t heir efficiency, health, cleanliness, orderliness, C't(·. A high standard of excell ence should be demanded in the performance of all duties, and t he utmost amou n t of energy exacted . A system of discipline based on the above principles de velops habits of self-control, self- reliance, neatness, order. and pu nctualit y, and creates res pect fo r autho rity and confidence in superrors.

In ancient times, the sold ier of any l a nd was always d istin g uished b y some article of clot hing, some symbol of the pa rticu lar clan o r tribe to which h e belonged , or of the ideal fo r which he was lighting. As states, co u ntries, and king doms became more firm ly established , th ese symbo ls narrowed down to t h e u n ifo r m or distin ct t ype of dress now worn by the soldier of h is count r y. The army represents the country. T he u ni fo rm o f an army sy mbol i:t.es it~ respectability, its honor, its traditions, and its achi eveme nts, ju st as the Hag of a co untry symbo li zes its honor, its di g nity and h isto ry. A sold ie r 's uni fo rm is m o re than a me re su it of clothes wo rn to hi de the naked n ess of t he bodv; th e right to " ·ca r the u niform of his country's army is not given to eve r y man. it is a n hono1· and a privilege to do so and no indi vidu al h as a right to ab use this h o n or and pri,·il cge by bringi ng th e uniform into disg race through misbeh avior. The soldier " ·ho brings reproach upo n his uniform is in the sam e class as a p riest w ho brings dishonor upon his ga rments. A ma n in uni fo rm is a marked indi,·idual "·here,·e r he may go, a nd he ca n ma ke t hat u n ifor m ca rr y h onor a nd respec t o r ca n make it a thin g to be derided, a subject for scorn. It is a fact well knO\\·n to students of human n ature that a man, n eat and trim in outward appearance, is apt to condu ct himsel f with dece ncv.

No more bru t.al deed s, cau l d eve r be recorded th a n t hose committed b~; the ragged mob in Paris durin g th e days of the French R e,·olution .

One of the most interesting phases of a sold ier's life is his li fe 111 the barracks, which is his home while in training. We \\'Crc most fortu nate in sec uri n g t h e "Old ~rrain ing Building" fo r quarters. The buildi ng \\'aS put in tip-top s hapc a fe\\' days after the men ar rived. O n entering the building the firs t thing of interes t is the Company Bull etin boa rd on which all official notices and orders arc posted. £very man mus t k eep a keen eye on this board, for any new orders out arc put on this board and it is every man's business to read all orders within an hour after th ey have been pub lish ed. There is a little sign hanging on a doo r at the left of the ent ran ce which reads, "Orderly Room-Knock. " In this room a ll the official business of the detachment is transacted by the Commanding Officer, Adjutant, Scrgcant-IVIaj o r, First Se t·geant, Mess Sergeant, and such assistants as are needed. There is cert ain ly a lot of difference in the way a soldier enters this room whe n he wish es t o speak to an oflice r and the way in which a civilian would enter. This is the w ay the soldie r docs it. H e kn ocks two or three times at the door (whether it is open or n ot ). Whe n told to come in he takes off his hat, ( if unarmed) closes the door, ( if it was closed before he entered), and remains j ust inside the door unti l asked what is w a n ted; the n h e goes w ithin a short distance of the officer, stands at attention, salutes, and makes known his request in as few words as possible, as : " Sir, Private Smith reports to t he Comm and ing Officer for orders" , or " D ocs the Captain \\'ant his car this morning?", or h avi n g finish ed a task he reports, for inst ance: "Sir, is t he Captain through w it h me?" On completion , he salutes, faces about toward the door, and goes out, being carefu l to close the door if it was closed when he entered. If it was not c losed , he leaves it ope n. On the second floor is also the supply room, where uniforms, shoes , cots, b la nkets, mattresses, etc., are stored. In the ordnance, the un used rifles and a mmunitions, patches and oil for cleaning, etc., are kept. T his is also the office of the Su pply Sergeant. First aid, vaccination, and inocu lation arc give n in the Medical room. T heY. M. C. A. is ah\·ays filled w ith men who find rec reatio n in pl ay in g g ames, reading, and writing letters. The room is \\'ell equipped hav ing a victml a, games, 'niting material, a typewriter, latest magaz ines, stamps, sca les for \\'eig hing parcels and many other things that make the soldie r fee l at h ome. On the third floor in the old assembly hall are our quarters. T h ere the cots a re arranged in eight rows from east to \\'est . T he h eads of the bunks (as they are called in the Army) are placed alternately \\'ith the foot of the bunk next t o it. In quarters there is a pl ace for everything and a certain \\·ay everythin g must b e d o n e. F o r instance a bunk is made up thus,-thrce bl ankets a re used. Then t h e bu nk is "ma de up" the blankets next to the mattress is tu rn ed dm,·n about on e-third " ·a y and tucked

under. The other two blankets are kept folded on t he foot of the bunk. Other blankets arc kept under the mattress. Shoes a rc kept under the bunk next the aisle. The to.es must be together and on a line " ·ith the edge of the bunk-opposite the side on whrch you dress. Suit cases, trunks, boxes, etc., are placed at the end of the bunk which is away from the aisle. A thing which will im press one very much is the cleanliness of the building. E ,·ery morning the buildirw is swept and everthinodusted. "' "' Every day a non-commissioned officer is placed in " charge of quarters". His duties (copied from bulletin board) are as follo\\·s : C leanliness of barracks at all times. Cond uct of men in bar racks. Conduct of men on campus. R eport before drill call all men sick. Make a check report immediately afte r taps. Make a repor t on same at ord erl y room before drill call the next morning. Non-commissioned Officer's tour of duty is from reveille to reveille, except the Non-commissioned Officer in charge of quarters on Saturday, who's tour of duty extends forty-eight hours. The report is made in the following manner : The old Non-commissioned Officer reports first, salutes, saying, "Sir, Sgt. Smith reports as old Non-commissioned Officer in charge of qua rters. P vt. Jones late at reveille, or, nothing special to report." The n ew Non-commissioned Officer then salutes, saying, "Sir, Sgt . D oe reports as new Non-commissioned Officer in charge of quarters." · H e is then given any instructions which the Commanding Officer deems necessary and they are dismissed. They both salute, execute an about f ace, and leave. The soldier's day is over on week nights at ten o'clock P . M., on Saturday and Sunday at eleven o'clock P . M. Taps are blown just as the light fades a\\·ay, and silence reigns until "First Call" is blown the next morning at six o'clock.

When U ncle Sam declared \\'ttr upon Germany, o ne of the firs t thin gs he did \\'as to comb the country for capab le men to look afte r the health o f his m e n. As a result, the medical staff of his army consisted of the best m edica l ta le nt in t h e Natio n. The large r camps ,,·ere provided \\'ith commission ed m ed ica l oflice rs, but the d emand soon outgrew the supply and th erefore the small er u n its of the A. w ere supplied ,,·ith contract surgeons chosen f rom among loca l ph ysicians a va il a bl e n car the camps. Every precaution \\'as taken to safeg uard the health of the men . T hey w ere g iven a triple typhoid and para-typhoid inoculation "·hich " ·ill protect them fo r three yea rs from an attack of typhoid fever, and t\\'O inocul ations for s m a ll-p ox preven tion in all cases where the first one was not effective. The Contract Surgeon at Camp Peru made dai ly call s at the barracks to see t h e men who had reported for sick call to the non-commissio ned office r in ch arge of quarters that morning, and as a resul t the m en w ith in the Unit w ere much better cared for from a health standpoint \\'ithin the army than they eve r h ad been before.

The Girls' Club Among the new forward-looki ng movements of the Peru State Normal, not the least important, and by no means the least democr atic, is the new student association, the Girls' C lub. T he organization grew out of a suggestion of ~I iss Ellis' ·in one of the girls' meetings last fa ll , th at the different g roups of girls in the school community form local organizations to further social I i fe among the members of each g roup and to create and conserTe student public opininon. The J LT. G. and the \·arious large rooming-house organizations resulted. _ This prO\·cd so satisfactory that a large assoCJatron that should include all the g irls of the N ormal was concei\·ed , and accordingly th e present G irls' C lub has been formed. T he purpose, as stated in th e constitution , rs : " To furth er in e\·err \\'ay the spirit of social unity among the g irls of the :"''onnal School; to increase the sense of responsibility toward th e school and toward each other, and to be a medium by which the social stand ards of the No rm al can be made and kept high." A ll girls of the :\lonna! School, f rom preparatories and specials to g raduates, rn clusi\·e, automatically become members upon registration. The R ooming-House C lubs. the Home Girls, the members of ~It. Vernon Hall, and the ]. U . G.'s are all units in the new club. Each of t he above units has its representatives in the gove rning body. T hese representatives, together· with the officers of th e clu b, constitute the council. All members of the council must have attained the rank of junior, senior, or graduate. The D ean of \tVomen acts as sponsor, and is ex-officio honorary member of the council. O f course, the members of the new association are \'C ry enthusiastic. At the same time, th ey realize that th ey arc to ha\·e a large and \"ita! part in fo rmin g \\'hat \\·ill surely be one of P eru 's mrs t im portant o rganizations. The officers and councillors, as chosen for the remainder of the present school year are : President, ::\Irs. Helene Bonekemper, 1919; \"ice-President, D agmar :\Iag neson. 1920 ; Secretary, ::\Irs.

Those 11·ho have been known to say that g irls' basket ball games a rc tame, si0\1·, a nd lifeless received a big surprise the n ight of the g irls' Junior-Senior game. l ' hc Scwo I I can safely boast of the possession of two of the fastest gi rls' teams in t he state. TowarcI the end of their training session , the infl uenza d isabled t11·o Juniors and a 11·eak a rc h disabled a s~nio r ; but, nevertheless. these handicaps did not keep the Sen io r Captain , Bill Brooker, who played center, f rom gettin g t he ball down t o Peg Albert, th e Senior crack forward. No r did they keep H elen Wi ll ia ms, Junior forwa rd , from eluding t he Senior gu <rrd, C lara Arpk::, who kept the floor hot, in pursuit of her oppone nt. When the audience heard a crack, bump, bang ! they k new it was on e of two t hin gs : either E th el H arman jumping ac ross th e fie ld to ca tch Bill , or else it 11·as t h e Senior fom·ard. Doris Frye, taking a broad jump plus a glide, after the ball. T he Junior Captain A n ne Soucjek, showed some fine poi nts in gua rding, and, w ith the hel p of Eva C li fton. Junior gu ard , there were some especiall y fi ne passes made amo ng the J u niors. Beth Graham, Sen ior gu ard, kept h er ever-wat ch ful eye on h e r opponent. ''"h il e Grace Blough, Junior forward. kept a fai r space between h erself a nd h er guard. ' Vhen w e h eard a 11·h iz in th e air, we knew J ess Todd was coming at breakneck ~ peed to pas~ the ball to the eve r-ready Sen ior forwa rd , Jack Snyder. O n t h e 11·hole. it 11·as a ~plendid ga me that wi ll long be remembered by the witnesses. It 11·as a great pleasure to both the students and facult y to be ab le to look back a nd think of the h fine spo rtsmans ip and the splend id class spirit that ex isted between th e teams, eYen after the score was called at 21 to 1-J. in fa vor of t he Seniors.

Upon them, \\"ithout their assent, has been placed often the burden of the family su pport, but the \\·odd has taken o nly a fe n· halting steps to\\·ard making it possible fo r them to m eet this nen· obligation in any adequate \\"ay. A lways, heretofore, the status of \\·omen, thoug h f req uentl y undesirable, has been fixed. They knew \\"here they stood. There \\"as something static about their position. T oday it is as un certain as the fa te of a new-made flying machine, in the hands of a tyro, A. ymg bf e ore t I1e storm. lVIany so-called opportunities fo r \\·omen d''"indle pitifull y "·hen analyzed or n·hen compmcl with •imiloc oppe<tuniti" a. offmd to m<n.

As an illustration of her r eal position in many universities, I quote from a professor of high standing; nor is he, unfortunately, alone in his point of . t he men t I1an Ill . t I1e \\"Omen vie\\·. He says: " Of course, I am mo re intereste d tn The_v have something more purposefu l in m ind.

Nor has it been any intentional bias against n·omen that has brought he r mto thts anom alous position.

Who can say ever again that :'\overnber is a d reary month? It ,,·as in ~ovembe ron that wonderfu l eleve nth day of :"Jovember-that the message of peace was flashed through the darkness around a waiting world. A nd upo n that flash , th rough land after land, followed light, and singing, and the sou nd of bells. Shall you ever forget that night- that ea rl y morn ing-when the old bell began to ring on the hill , when Lee H emingway's bugle set the echoes flying, and ,,·ou ld not let them die? Do you remember the thrill th at came as you saw one house after another send light out of every window into the dark? Did you make one in the impromptu procession that shouted and sang their way up and down the streets? \ Vhatever you did, you will never forget that you were one of th e m illions ,,·ho began lo ng before t he sun rose to celebrate the coming of the Great Day. I e seemed rather prosaic to eat breakfast as usua l-though "·c did it with good g race. Classes met as usua l, too, that mo rnin g. But und er all the ro ut ine t here "·as a common consciousness that it w as th e Great Day. At chapel we sang "America" as none of us had ever sung it befo re. Then :H iss R ose C lark took us in imagination to the battle line of many nations "over there", and made us sense th e common t h ankfulness of white men and bro\\·n, yellow men and bl ack, \\·ho h ad lain dO\nl that day th e arms th ey had been carrying shoulder to shoulder. ?vi r. J ean linked America's past with the world's fu ture. Lincoln's vision, he said , led to the establishment of ou r republic upon the foundatio n of a lasting union of freemen. A s such, "·e were fitted now to play our part in establish ing a new world, fo unded upon liberty and democ r acy. Ea rly in th e afte rnoon people began gathering on th e Campus for the P eace Day parade. At t\\·o, Commandant Beck gave the command, "Fall in". The school band led the way. The flag followed, escorted by a doze n girls in white. Then came the home guards-the older men of the town who had been d rill ing to do their part if need came. F ollowing the men of the S. A. T. C., feeling a trifle cheated because the \Yar had ended before th ey got a chance to do thei r bit. The faculty marched behi nd them, fo rmin g a guard of honor for the huge school flag. N ex.· t came th e stu d ents bY classes, and the pupil s of the training school. No o ne wan ted to be left out of th e procession. Th e R ed C ross workers and th e me mbers of t he Women's Relief Corps joi ned it on the way; and at the foot of the hill a little group took their rightful place of honor at the head-the veterans of '61, w ho kne\\· bett er than any one else the meaning of the word "Peace". In the street, around th e speakers' platform, the whole town \\·as gathered. W e sang again the patr iotic songs that the w ar had taught us reall y to sing. Chaplain \ Vhite su mmed up inspiringly his conception of the meaning of peace. Colonel T. J. :.Iajors paid an eloquent tribute to ou r army of today-an ho nor to them, coming from one \\·ho foug ht " ·ith the other g reat U nited States army. Lieute nant Swan defined forcibl y what true patriotism meant, and D r. H ouse put into memorable "·ords his dream of the new \Yorld \\·hich is to rise from the battle-fields of today. Another song, an d ou r peace ce lb e r ation was over. B ut every one who h ad a share in it, from th e old man to the voun gest school-child , sensed in some measure J that he had lived through one of the su preme days of the world's history. AnBA W.

Literature and the Boy Today, more than e\·e r before, the public schools are recog niz ing th e value of th e stud y of literat ure as a pow erful formative infl uence in the early li fe of child ren. It is, indeed, a realm of " ·hich the ave rage American citizen knO\\"S but little ; too littl e, in fact , for his own good. \ Ve, as a nation , have done remarkably little in literary achie,·ement. This may be largely attributed to the fac t that \\·bile our national li fe has b:::en not at all commonplace, but somew I1at stormy, we I1ave been too much concerned ,,-ith the business of living. O u r efforts have gone into other things, as necessity has dem anded. \ Ve have g rO\\·n so fast , ,,-e have had so terribly much SJ)ace to e:row in, and so rem arkably many opportunities and aids to grO\\·th, ~ th at it has practicall v consu med ou r attention. America's sloga n has bee n "Business" J no r I S 1t strange. :'\ot for man y yea rs may \Ve ex pect American literatu re to come intu y of ex pansion, development, reform, and cou nter 1"ts 0\\·n. Not until the h url."-burl . reform has quieted, and ,,-c settle dO\nl to the r igo rous r outine of life, \vhen our national axles ave stopped th eir creaking, and ,,-e need not expend our energies procuring legislative oil. Literature has long been neglected in our schools, chiefl y because it \\·as not " practical", and \\·as considered excess baggage in our tumultous life of business. L ater , it became eviden t th at other components ,,·ere necessary in the m aking of desirable citize ns. The kn owledge and th e love of books is one of th e finest g ifts a man can have, and one of th e most conducive to happiness. As Don M a rquis says, "Poetry is th e jingle of a fe w unex pected coins in the shabby pocket of life". A ge n uine taste for literature among children, even th e m ore ad va nced high school stud ents, seems to be the exce ption, rather .than the rul e. In man y families the school is the onl y pi ace w he re th e child may come in contact ,,·ith books, and here he is greatl y d iscou raged. For inasmuch as literature is considered a seconda ry subj ect , it is neglected, and its teachin g wholly uninspired. Uninspired teaching of literature is wo rse th an none at all, for it is here that the literar y taste is oftent imes, is even generall y created; <md , un fortun ately, is quite as often ru ined . A boy's outlook on th e wor ld of literature is more than often quite analogous to his outlook on life, his own pe rsonal affairs, and h is relation to th e infinite. The boy, at fi rst, q uite natu rall y and unsuspectinglv, believes unreser vedl y th e parental assurance,-that God made all those J thi ngs \1-hich his childish curiosity q uestions. He believes quite without reason th at God m ade th e grass, the trees, the Rowe rs, and himself ; th at th e sam e mysterious being makes the ri ve rs run, th e ,,·inds blow; and la ter th at H e w ill hold him to accoun t for his actions d u ring his ea rthl y life . Nex t , he learns th at G od apparentl y has nothing to do w ith these th ings, but that they t ake place in response to chemical reactions and certain clearl y defin ed natural la\\"s. T hen comes a period of doubt, accompanied by a se rious effort to reconcile t h esc apparent I y \\"1"d eI y d 1.verge nt sc h emes o f I 1"fe . \ Ve foli o,,- blin d ly alon g our littl e, narrO\\" path of logic, tripping in enta ngling . g out an dgolllg . weeds, stepping off into qu icksands, ge ttin reso l uteIy f onva r d, determined to find this puzzling thing of our dreams. \Ve see certain evide nces, that at

some time he has passed; we lose the trail, find it agai n , painfully a nd l a bori ously press forward, until we fin d th at we have ci rc umn avigated our little globe of reason, have come back to the very same place and to the very same facts with ,,·hich we sta rted. W e then sec th at the path we have follo,,·cd has been onl y as a pe nc il mark upon a mountain, and that instead of find ing a g lorious end of thin gs, a nd the c reator, the supreme intelligence, revealed, we find nothi ng-that he is not within reason , but somewhere outside. Then do we begin to appreciate ou r rel ation to him. We then ex perience a sickening sensation th at everything is rou nd, and tha t the re is no end to anything; and flushed with the discovery we a rc again taken back to find that Whitman , IVlaet erlinck, and eve r so man y had found it out long befo re and knew it all the time. Then is the tim e, wh en the boy needs the com panio nship and advice that literature can give him. For ,,·hat more inestimable privilege is there t ha n to be able to talk with those who have gone before, fought the sa me figh t, trudged the same weary road , and left themselves behind- bet \\·een the cove rs of books. Th en does the read ing of literature become a pri vilige, not a task a nd the explo rat ion of a veritable fairyland. Unfortunately, a literary taste is seldom created in school. If one has it, he must keep it in spite of the schools. So fe,,· of our people are genu inely apprecia ti ve that they constitute an actua l hindrance to othe rs. A boy, bursti ng with some new-found t hot, fu ll of new ideals, hurries to confide it t o his fello,,·s. H e is met by t he fishy stare, the tongue in th e cheek of those who do not underst a nd. H e soon lea rns that t o possess ideas radicall y different from those of his fello\\"s, marks him an object of derision , which he fea rs, a nd , like a ,,·hite rabbit, he seeks a sno\\"bank in \\"hich he m ay hide, assumes the color of his background to escape detection, like a chamel eon amo ng l eaves. A t college, another d ifficu lty presents itse lf. Th e professor feels himself possessed of a sec ret of the direct import. It is t his, that t he st udy a nd reading of lite r ature is not hard ,,·ork at all , but ve ry easy, a ,,·holl y eng rossing subj ect. B ut to avo id having his classes c ro,,·ded with sluffe rs, looking fo r easy courses, he loads his cl asses ,,·ith technica l study, inane a nal ysis, and insuffera ble de tail , until the real worth of the course is in the natu re of a reward to those who have bo rn e themselves bravel y in the struggle. Those ,,·ho \\"ill su ffer the m in ute a nalysis of insignifica nt detail , are seldom th ose to \\"hom the subj ect itself appea ls ; or if t hey ,,·ere, the m ethod so cam ouflages the message that t hey lose sight of it, and t heir literary taste is pa rtia ll y or \\"holl y spoiled . H o,,· some men must yearn to th ro\\" off the mask and teach as they \\·ou ld like! I belie,·e that th e extensi,·e reading, e\·en the making o f literature is a norma l fo rm o f h uman activity; and desen·i ng of cu ltivation , eve n by th e poor in tale nt, and t hat the most crying need of our schools today, is a more effecti\·e a nd inspirational method in the teaching of literature.

The lnterallied Peace Confere nce at Versailles is the culmination of long years of conferences. The t\\·o basic ideas of such meeting have always been to settle specific immediate problems of reconstruction and to establish a new order "·hich " ·ill render fut u re uphca,·al unlikely. Former conferences ha,·e been concerned with immediate settlements, as in the Congress of Berlin, 1878. The selfish interests of the Great Power brought about a settlement unsatisfactory to t I1e Ba lk·ans and t he N ear E· ast, and, because of the resu lting unrest, w as to a large measure responsible for the \\·a r j ust ended . The past four years ha,·e marked the height of the world struggle bet\\·een rc:dism and idealism, and have seen the victory of idealism. To make this victory permanent is the most important issue in the present peace conference. As an instrument fo r m aking possible a permanent peace, the conference has turned to the L eague of Nations. On February 1-1-, 1919, lVI r. ' 1\Tilson, head of the Commission. on the League of Nat ions, read the proposed Constitution to the assembly. The purpose of the L eague, as herein expressed is to promote international cooperation and to secu re international peace and security. The Constitution provides for a body of delegates to which each sig natory power may send not more than three representatives and in \\·hich each power has one vote. Representatives of th e United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, J apan, and fo ur others arc to make up the Executive C ou ncil. All matte rs of international interest a rc to be controlled by the League, including r ed uction of national armaments, labor, trade, and colonial questions. An international Court is provided for, to which all disputes between members must be su bm itred. If a nation does not accep t the judgment of the Court, the common eco nomica! , military, and naval po\\·e r of the other members is to be directed against the offender. Any war or threat of ,,·ar is a matter of concern for the whole Leagu e. D isputes between a member and a non-member, or between t\\"0 non-members, mar be submitted to the League if they promise to abide by the decision of the Court. If th::y do make this promise and fail to accept the decision of the Court, then they must take punishment from the whole L eague. The Constitution provides fo r other matters, time and place of meeting of delegates and the entrance of nations into the League, but the t\\"O essentials are the provisions for periodical meeti ngs of the intern at ional body, and the use of a common power for the sake of common justice. It does not prO\·ide for a \\·orl d gove rn ment with the nations as separate provinces, nor is it all inclusiye, but it is a banding together of democratic nat ions for the pu r pose of cont roll ing international qu estions and difficulties. I t makes permanent an association formed in the past four years in the struggle between right and \\Tong. It is a secu r ity for peace. EDITH DoRT

Dorm Life Oh, Boy! (Beg pardon, I meant girl ) It sure is g reat! What's g reat! Dorm life, of course. Lemme tell you, you miss a lot by not staying at th e dorm. There's so much excitement, that you never have time to get tired or anything. You get up in the morning about six-thirty, and in about five minutes the breakfast bell rings (Gee! Whiz! That old clock is slow !) \V ell, you finish lacing your shoes as you go down stairs, and get into your chair with the greatest possible amount of noise. The gi rl across from you has her hair up on electric cu rlers, w hich sho\\' in big bumps thru her breakfast cap. Somebody yel ls for the muffi ns and somebody else calls for sy rup, and breakfast's begun. In about nin e minutes and a half, you rush upstairs, slap your powder puff across your lack of complexion, and trip lightly away to your Geography class. Of course you have classes all mornin g, and when chapel's over you 're ra venous enuf to cat tacks. So you go home to bread and sy rup, and boiled beef and potatoes, with a thankful heart. This appetizing fare strengthens your so ul for Public School i\1usic, to which you repair. By supper time, having spent several hours in the Library talking with your (or somebod y else's best beau,-more often beaux) you are feeling just right for anythin g that may come along. Of co urse, tho, \\'hen it does come, you say "::Vly John! Warmed over potatoes again" as do all t he elite. You hang around down stairs and wait for " that slow-poke to bring the mail", and \\'hen you find that "He" didn't write, you crawl wea ril y upstairs to your books. After about three hours, having recei ved no consolation, you ge t ready for bed. That bl essed sleep, about which \\'e hear in P sychology descends upon you , and your troubles are postponed until the next day. R U TH PASS

Ou r thought may th erefore be logical and straig htforward enoug h, ,,·hile th e images by which ,,-e seek to convey our thought m ay be utterl y incongruous. F or instance, a youn g college o rator had it in m ind to present in r.apid seq uence the mai n epochs of America n History. \ Vhat he said \nls as fo llows : "The ship of sta te ,,·as plo,,·i ng grand ly ac ross the ocean of experience. All ,,·ent wel l for a time, but at leng th there ga th ered certain barnacles upon the prO\\" of the boat. But she sprang clear of these, and stru ck deep root in th e virgin soil of New England , and there became a fair and stately ed ifice. She had not, howe,·er, proceeded fa r on her journey before she encountered a gigantic obstacle-and that obstacle ,,·as the Civil vVa r !" A g lance at the above ,,-ill revea l the fact that th e speaker's general idea-that of th e varied story of ou r nat iona l progress-was perfectl y natura l and straightfo rward . But he must have been unconscious of his image ry, or else he would have pe rceived t he absurdit y of a ship's leapi11g out of the w at er tmd rooti11g itself on the shore>. N either ,,·otd d he have had his fair and st ately rdi/ice start off on a promenade across th.: cou ntry. I t may be added that to th e sensitive reader nothing in th e paragraph is more absurd than the speaker's fina l flopping descent from the plane of the m etaphorical to that of the li tera l- " and th at obstacle \\"aS the Civil vVar !" Anoth er young orator declared, "Louis X I V skimmed the cream of French civilization and hurled it over into H oll and. " But if Louis hurled the cream, he must have skimmed it with his ha nds (always a messy proceeding); and the reader's m ental picture of the bespattered Dutch landscape IS far from inviting. The lesson for the stu dent in this discussion is, th at a speaker or writer ought to be fairly conscious of th e pictures which his ,,·ords are lik~l y to make, and should see to it that these are logicall y associated. J,et us 110\\" examine a fe,,- fu rth er examples of stud ent rh etori c which present com plicated or impossible pictu res : "Grasp the plo\\·-h and les of effo rt and climb the ladder of success." But if the ladder-climber had the plow-handles in both hands, he would have to hold on the ru ngs of th e ladder ,,·ith his heels. ":\•l ost parents. ''"hen they find a spark of genius 111 their chil d, water it and try to make it grow." But a spark is not the sort of ge rm that g rows by watering. "A deep-seated fou ndation ,,-hich can never be eradicated." O ne may demolish a fo undatio n, but he cannot dig one up by the roots. "Women are taking the lead in educational circl es."

Much is made of mixed imagery in the joke columns of the public press. A much quoted paragraph makes an Irish member of Parliament say: "Gentl emen, I smell a rat! I see it floatin g in the air! But I shall yet nip it in the bu d!" A mo re recent example of this st yle of humor is taken from Th e Sacred I-! earl R eview : "Gentlemen," asked a Congressman, "a member of this Hou se has taken adva ntage of my absence to tweak my nose behind my back. I hope th at the next time he abuses me behind my back like a cowa rd , he will do it to my face like a man, and not go

These unique im·itations \\·ere issued for Saturday night, October 12; and all the girls came. After being heartily \Hicomed, each guest was given a letter and told to find his group. Every group spelled the name of some kind of apple and then wrote a poem about this apple. These poems were read and furnished much enjoyment. The J. ude:es awarded the prizes. The "Niaiden Blush" received the B (ig) ~ A(pple) P(ie). The "Jonathan" the L(ittle) A(pple) P(ie). The third prize "·as divided equally among the remaining groups, and no one felt his poetic efforts had been in vain. In fact , the groups receiving N ( o ) A ( pple ) P ( ie) contin ued in their lofty ar t and responded thus: 'Tis sweet to try, But, oh! how bitter, To \\-rite a pmnn, And then not git 'er."

1an. 18 , 1910. D ere Ebenezer: I just feel I gotta right a n' tell you ,,·hat a swell doin's I went to Saturday nite. They had what they call a hyppo-somethi ng-or-other over in the gra nd brick building they call the trainer's school. \ Vhen me and Sal got to the dore a woman bumped us for a nickel. \ 1Ve didn't know ,,·hether to go in or not, but w e did, an' say, we ain' t sorry, nei ther. Folks j ust pushed us everr-,,·hich ,,·ays, but me and Sal hung on tite to each other and got safe thru. I was just a little fee rfu l fur my bonnet sometimes, tho. We went and took a ride on the merry-go-round, but Sal got seasick and had to get off. Then we \\·ent to a place where they said \\·e could see ou r husban's, but after me knowin' you, Eb, I didn't go in. Sal did, an' she's been rite happy ever since. Pretty soon a tall. man, lookin' sick like, begins to beat on the floor with his stick and yellin' for us to go to the Or-pe-um. I herd today he was the president. D idn't know the sort of crowd I was movin' in, did you, Eb? Well, Sal a n ' me, after having a dime extracted from us, \\·ent to this hear show. They had a new kind of graefefone, Eb. It su re sounded good. Then some people come out in what they called flu dances. Made me feel queer at first, cause I remember how near I came losen you with it, but when they got to dancin' round I felt happy w ith 'em for bein' well again. Then they had a darkey couple come out. There love-makin' made me quite a little lonely for you, Eb, but I was glad fo r 'em. Next w e went to what they called the "House of Mistry". H ear they \\·as so many gosts and skelitons Iookin' at us in the dark that I thot you an' me had seen ·each other for the last time, 1• ust when J begun to breathe a little f reer somethin' musta grabbed Sal by the leg, for she let out a hair-raisin' yell , and we beat it for the dore. We were j ust a little shuck up, but they told us about another show, so we went in. They showed us the "fattest woman in the wu rld" and , Eb, she was sure heavy. They had lots of other fol ks in there, too, that I had never seen before. I never knew the Lord had such mixed in with us civalized folks. \iVe thot we couldn't go no mo re but some one says we could t ake a trip around the wurld fur a nickel so in we goes. H ere we looked at pictures on a sheet and the captain in the boat told us about the places.1 Sal got reel excited w hen he showed the I sle of Man but I was true to you E b an' it didn't bother me none. After a bit they gave a prize for the best dressed folks at the circus and wanted to give it to me and Sal, but we told them we wasn 't contestin' fu: no prize, we came juts like we always was. They gave it to the "Kanon family". T hey sure \\·as a noizy family. Sal an' me came home without no money, bu t ain't done no kickin' cause we went. I'm tired of rigten E b so \\·ill tell you the rest when I see you. Lovely,

SAD ACCIDENT AT HARNEY PASSENGER TRAIN DERAILED AT BARNEY! Two-TH I RDS or PERU FACl' LTY A~o MAxY STUD EXTS F ATALL \ " I X J U RED

Ou r aeroplane correspondent fa ithfully reco rd s scenes enacted as facu lty a nd students enter th e pea rly gates. At the pearly gatesProf. Delzell : Ri ght this way, ladies and gentlemen! A nd i f there's any littl e word I can say for you to Saint Peter, I'll be more than g lad to say it. No bother at all. M r. Overhol t : I hope you have your cred its all ready to turn in, so there' ll be no d elay in ha ving to send back home fo r them. Saint Peter is very much ru shed today. M iss Carpenter: I can hear a little of th e angel choru s from here. It strikes me they arc just a little off the pitch. M iss Hosmer: I know a little contrivance th at would hold that latch down when Sai nt P eter closes the gate. A nd dea r me ! how t hat h inge creaks ! Ju st a few drops o f oil would sto p that. Isn't it strange how some people will let a thin g like th at go on annoyin g e\路erybody, and yet d o nothing about it ? Sa int Peter ( whi spering with Prof. Delzell) : Who's that cl ea n lookin g m an with the well groomed hair and his face a nd neck freshly shaved? M r. D elzell : The one with th e clean coll ar and well blackened shoes ? That's Prof. Loomis. Sain t P eter : Send him right in without furth er examination . Such a clea n exte ri or ce rtain ly betokens a clean heart. And who is t hat ot her man who just took off hi s hat to those ladies, and a moment ago opened that aeroplane d oor and helped those two women to alight? T here he is now, g iv ing up his seat to that ugly, middl e aged spin ster. P rof. Delzell: That's Prof. Jean. Saint Peter: Chivalry is badl y need ed in Heaven just now. VVe haven't had a rea l gentleman in six weeks. Send him rig ht in. D ean El lis ( to g roup of young g irl s): Now, girl s, you ,,路ill be carefu l, I am s ure, to conduct yourseh路es as ladies w hen you pass t hrough. No littl e indiscretions that might be misconstrued by the loitering angels nea r th e gate. And do, I impl ore you, retire your gum to the sole of your sandal or some other safe place. Miss Dunn makes the plea before Sa int Peter for the entire crowd. It is most impassioned and effective, and all are perm itted to pass through the pea rly gates. Safe insideMi ss Esther Clark: 0 , isn't it beautiful ! How refreshing ! \ Von't autoing in thi s bracing air be d elightful! These smooth paved streets a re just the thing: and it's not at all crowded. Come on, Rose, let's find a garage.

Mi ss Rose C lark: I must say I am disappointed. I sec no opportunity for geological study here. There is n't an interesting formati on in sig ht. Noth ing but these monotonous golden streets. If Saint Peter will on ly let me out, I 'll go back dow n to the other p lace. (Exit Prof. Cla rk.) Mi ss Mutz: Just notice that effect of sunlight siftin g throug h the t rees, as it fall s on the golden pavem ent. I consider that rather interestin g. Dr. Hou se (to angel choru s): Now, altogether, s ing! Miss Rulon (from desk where sh e has been at once in stall ed ) : I'd like to ask that group of an ge ls over in the corner to do a little less whispering . M iss Kellc\· : I d on 't see that I can be of much practical usc up here, and I'm r eally needed down in the iower reg ion s to hel p keep up the fires. They say Head Engineer Hays s its shiYering in a corner down there, and does nothing but beg his imps to stir u p the fires and get a little heat on. ~l ith my experience in running a furnace, I am sure I can keep those lost spirits comfortably warm. (Ex it Miss Kelley. ) President Rouse (making bee lin e for gates): Comfortably warm, did you say? H ere, \\·a it for me! I'd just like to get into such a place. Miss Hanthorn: Here ! Let me through too, Saint P eter! I'm going to see if I can't get a pipe line run through up to my office in the trainin g building! Dean Ellis (rushing fra ntically toward ga tes) : A good idea! Fine! Let us run pipe lines to all the rooming houses, and connect up at 6 : 30 every morning, so that the poor girls can be comfortably warm \\·hile dressing. Saint Peter (sternly): Ba ck, back, all of you! I "·as foolish to let th e first one through. There can be no t r affic bet\\·een H eaven and the lo\\·er regions! Mi ss Hosmer: I must say I am su rprised at the way some of these robes hang. I th ink a few pleats in the back would insure a much better fit. lt's so hard to fi nd a really good dressmaker in a p l ace like this! Mi ss Mutz: ~Tell, I don't know, I think the lines in that robe ov er there are rather good . And there's one worn by a French Colonel which I find so attractive! Prof. Beck: Hi, there, Prof. H oyt ! A ren't you a member of this committee? vVe're all ready and waiting . ~'e ren' t you the very one who proposed th e rule th at every m ember of the committee should attend all its meetings? Prof. Hoy t: Yes, and a mighty good rule it is too, d early beloved ! See that you enforce it (hurries cheerfully by). Mi ss Foster (peering throug h hars of gate): 0, that 's the nin eteenth case of flu I've seen them taking to the infirmary this morning! I 'll just have to go back down to Peru for a li ttl e while, at least, to help that new nurse out in the emergency.

President Rouse: I feel that your point is not at all well t aken, Mi ss Foster. Some of those cases may prove fatal in the hands of a g ree n nurse, and what we need up here is a d en ser population of Per uvian s. Kearney is going to outcla ss us up here if we aren't careful. vVc've got to do everything possible to build up the Peru spirit. Prof. Crago: Are all the trainin g teachers here? I 'd like to sec a 100 per cent representation. Miss Dewey : Yes, all here but Miss Kelley. She w ent down to the lowe r regions to help keep up the fires. But I hea r she's coming back, for the fuel adm in ist rator won 't let her usc a nything but Sheridan coal in th at zone, and she says she can 't shovel coal all the ti me. Sh e ha s to ha ve some time to manicure her nail s and powder h er nose. Here she comes now. Mi ss K rebs: No, I'm afraid I can't join you in that heaven ly chorus. I'd love to, for I do enjoy mu sic so much. But here a re all these plans for angel children's robes to be looked over. That will keep me up until midnight. And then I must meet a group of back\,·ard angel b oys at 7:40 to practice for the te deum. I can 't possi bly find the time to go. Duty fir st-plea s ure can wait. Mr. Overholt: vVho's that out there, hu stl ing toward the pearl y gates with hi s arms full of outlines a nd charts ? 0, it's Prof. Gregg! (Loud knocking at gate. ) Sa int Peter: Who's there ? Prof. G regg ( breathless but bu siness-like): It's I, Sain t Peter. Sorry to be late but I had this chart to fin ish, and that prog ram to make out for the facu ltv members want ed to take an intelligence test and I had to measure some of the 6th g rad e b~ys. Sorry, Saint Peter, but you see yourself how busy I am. Sa int Peter (g rumblingly) : 'V.' ell, it \\·ould seem you mig ht have gotten in with the rest of your crowd. It's been severa l hours since that train w reck. But come on in . Miss Burl ey: 'V.' hy, just look at Miss Krebs ! How bedragg led she look s! She seems to be losing a lot of feathers out of her wing, and her robe looks almost worn out. She usually is so neat. Miss Hanthorn : Ye5, she pulled those feathers out to fix up Miss Kelley's wing, which got slightly singed " ·hen she was down below. And sh e had a ne"· robe, but she gave it to Miss Palmer, " ·ho tore hers as she hurried through the gate. But sec how brightly the jewels shine in her crown! Miss Hosmer: 'V.1ell, I've been up here six months no''"• and I've been doing a li ttle tinkering each day. I must say I'm gett ing things do\\· n w here I can live with a fair degree of comfort. At this point our enterpri sing correspond ent was caught near the gate post in the act of cavesdropping, and made hi s escape to his waiting aeroplane with some difficulty.

Minnie :\!Ieissner became so excited when the S. A. T. C . boys came to eat at the dormitory that she buttered her bread on both sides. Junior G irl: last night?" Senior Girl:

"Weren't those boys foolish for fighting in the vestibule after Philo, "Oh, I don't kno\\'; depends on \\'hom they \\'ere fighting ove r -

you o r n1a."

A Tribute T here arc four kind s of bones :- Lazy bones, wish bones, back bones, an d funny bones. All fou r kinds arc fou nd in th is No rm al School. L et's not ta lk about class number 1, but begin with the w ish bones. There we re a bunch of them around here t his year who wished and wished fo r somethin g to be go111g on. They wished and w ished and t hci r numbers g rew until a backbon e or t\\路o came around. ='low a backbone- but right here I want to take up the relations of the bones to each other. The lazy bones arc negligi ble, th ey have no place in this discussion. The wish bones are a factor. E nough of them create a sentiment. But they have to have a shell or something over them . T hen there arc t he backbones. One or two of them can make a whole bunch of wishbones rejoice. As fo r funnybones -well , they' re backbones as you wi ll see. ='low, as I started to say, there were a bunch of \\路ishboncs around here, who longed for some athletics. Well, along came a backbone and said, "\,Y e'll have some athletics." He commenced to look arou nd fo r another backbone and he fin all y fou nd him in disguised for m ; i. c. a " Funny" bone. The "Fun ny" bone said , "Yes, we' ll have some ath letics," and straightway became the backbone of the activities. Ve ril y I say to you :-reve re you r "Funny" bones. They make your wishbones rejoice.
