A clippin g r ecen tly received in Pe ru
from the Tri-Cities Daily, of Florence, Alabama, g iving an account of a bi g musical p ro duction, at the S tate Nol-ma! School at that place. Miss N. l\faude Carpenter, of the Peru faculty, is head of the music department of that Normal, of the work of Miss Carpenter and her chorus, the Daily says: The Sta te Normal Choral Cl1ub of 125 voices has established itself in Florence is a worth-while musical organization. These young people have a pplied themselves seriously for the past year and have developed a standard of en semble that is comparable to many older organizations. No mechanical deta ils seemed too trivial for consideration and the result was freedom of certainty; sostenuto efects, for which all singers strive, and a unity of delivery only possible when a group thinks and feels as a unit.

I VAGABONDING AT HARVARD
From time to time new words come into the undergraduate vernacular. One of the recent arrivals at Harvard is the verb "to vagabond." There is no such verb in the dictionaries; but it helps to express an idea, and that is what verbs are for. "To vagabond" means to rove atound into classrooms where one does not belong. When an undergradlJate remarks at the breakfast table, "I think I'll vagabond Professor Kittredge's 'Sha!<espere' this morning," he merely vouchsafes an intention to wander into Harvard 6 at ten o'clock, help himself to a vacant back seat, and listen to what is going on.
Vagabo ndin g be gan last year, but this autumn it has under g one a noticea ble increase. Every morning the Crimson prints a list of lectures which will be g iven that day and ha ve been picked out by the edito rs as likely to be of somewhat general interest. The information used in compiling the list is obt ai ned through the courtesy of the instructors at the beginnin g of each week. Sometimes a dozen or more lectures are put down as worthy of the vagabond's atte ntion, and from this assortment he chooses one or more for his c as ual patronage. By vagabonding· two or three t imes a week, as many do, the student makes the round of numerous co urs es and durin g t he year man ages to se e a good ly sprinkli ng of the Faculty in action.
In looking ov er t he li st of lec tu res announced da y by d ay, one is struck with the amazing va riety of the subject w hi ch a re c overe d by a colle ge curriculum within the confines of a si ng le mo rni ng. Every one it would seem, can find something that articu l ates with hi s interest, if he has a ny.
To some extent the practic e of vagabonding h as been abett ed, no doubt, by the general examinations, which encourage the undergradu ate to br oaden his and to ap preciate the essential unity of knowledge. The work of the tutors, moreov er, has he lped to break down the old idea that colle ge courses are so many waterti g ht comp a rtments eac h sufficient unto itself And as a practical m atter, the arr a ngement by w hich c an didate s: for honors may reduce the number of required courses h as made vagabonding a goo d deal easier. Juniors and seniors w ho are candidates for honors, and whose scholastic standing is good e nou g h, are now required to only thre e re gul ar courses in s te ad of the four courses which used to be ess en tial. With only nine hours of classroom work, these upp erc lassmen h av e time for rovin g around, and they are taking advant ag e of the opportunity. In a ny event, and whatever the re a sons for it, this growin g habit of vagabondage at Harvard js a hopeful sign. It shows that t he quest of academic credits is not the only thing that brings undergra duates to the classroom.-The H arvard Alumni Bulletin.

NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN
According to Prof. E. L. Thorndyke; in the New York 'rimes, the biggest time to learn is not when one is young.
The article -about the famous educator reads in part as follows:
"Professor Thorndyke of Columbia, in a recent address, advanced definite statistics as to the age at which learning is easi est. In spite of the tradition that is the time for storing up knowledge and that you an old dog new tricks, he believCJs it is easier for a man of forty-two to legrn than for a boy of fifteen.
"The high poitit of receptivity he places at the age of twenty-one. After that it decreases so slowly that for a number of years the capacity to learn must remain very nearly at the peak. Professor Thorndyke estimates that the decline is at the rate of 1 per cent a year.
"This theory should bring cheer to the man who has chosen a life-work and later found it repulsive. Instead of casting up the years he has spent preparing to be a lawyer and considering that he is too old at thirty-five to begin afresh, let him start out gaily to be a stock broker or a portrait painter, comforting himself by Thorndyke statistics. Ev.€jn if the second venture is a flop, he win be able to learn a new trade any time up to the age of 121.
"The effect on the schoolboy may not prove so salutary. If he finds trigonometry beyond his grasp he will be all for putting less ons off until he is twenty-one, or handing them over

COLLEGE SPIRIT
Without attemptin g a dictionary definition of college spirit, I should like to su ggest someth ing like the following as expressing th at much-ta lked of; but little-t houghtabout, concept. College spirit is th at backgr ound of ideas, ideals, and attitudes toward one's Alma Ma ter which is the dominating and dirqcting force behi;nd all with respect fo her. Such a concept of coll,ege sp1r 1t gwes it tangibility, but its greatest value lies in the f act th at it makes college spirit a gui ding a nd directin g fo rce in t he college life of th e s tu dent. At one coll ege w hi ch proudly bo asts of its spir it in pep meetings, in the college paper, a nd from the chapel platform, it is the lib rary's policy not to pur chase te x tbooks fo r the stacks for the simple r eason th at t extbooks cann ot be kept in th e library, and I never .h eard any one accuse the j anitor of ta ki ng them. This same college tried an honor system in examinations for seve,ral years, but finally had to give it up because it would not wor k. Too many students, over flo wing with college spirit, of course, persiste d in acting in th e exam ination room Th e. in ab ility of A merican colleges or u ni vers ities to up hold a honor system is no to rious, and yet d oubtless every co ll ege which displays such inability is proud of its spirit and does not h esitate to" say s o. If college students would think of college spirit as the directing for ce behind all their acts in coll ege, possibly many of the a cts so common on co llege campuses woul d be less common. Possibly an hono r system could be made to work; possibly library b ooks would be safe; possibly there woulcl. be less petty th ieving· of coats, caps, books, notebooks, fo unta in pens, etc.; possibly it would no longer be considered a display of college spirit for contesting classes to mutil ate or destroy college property ; possibly the annual spring destruct io n of city property would not take place ; possibly questi onable fr a ternity politics would not ha ve so mu ch to do in controlling elections to campus off ices; possibly ca mpus bo0tlegging would be less common; 1possibly students would be less incline d to litter up the campus with t rash or to cut un sightly paths through its beautif ul, gre en carpet; possibly ung entlema:nly or unlady like conduct in public would not be considered "sma:rt "; possib.ly scholastic, as well as athl etic, accomplish ment w ould have more attraction; possibly students would rea lize that a genuine college spirit, orte wort hy the name, and the only one that any one has any right to be proud of, would d emand that a professor be a ge ntleman or a lady at all t imes, on or off the campus; for if it i's college spirit th at gives direct ion to one's co llege acts, would permit such. acts as the abov e would not be one of. which aoy student could be pro ud.- Thomas M.

has added much moistture to the soil so that it ha s altered t he habit at very much.
Peru to the west and east is bordered by re al pr airie country, but seeds ha ve been brought beyond this pr a irie country to Peru vicinity by a nimals. The forest is comparatively young surr o undin g Peru, but very mixed. Peru has varieties of trees from the s outh , north , and Peru mig ht be ca Hed an oasis because that is practic a lly wh at it is in the prairie region.
There are about seventy species of tree s commonly found in this vicinity, about twen t y-four species of shrub s a nd a dozen species of prom·· inent vines
Some of the more common· trees of the n01·th found around Peru are: maple oak elm ash. linden, bl ack walnut, and sycamore. The oaks ar e especially prominent around Peru, lending their different shades in the fa! to beautify 1he hillsides. The sycamore is the tree that lo ses much of its bark and appears as the very p icture of exposure in the winter. If one wi.Jl look in W. R. Pate's yard he will see the sycamore.
Some of the trees brought up fr om the south to mix with their northern friends are the Kentucky coffee tree, paw-paw, and the wahoo (hd 111i r.g bush). The paw paw and walioos 11re very nearly shrubs up in this climate, but "way down south" they re;1ch more ma jestic heights.
The paw-p aw found in ravi1'.es has a very edible fruit which tastes somewh at like a cross between a ha-
