Before leaving the subject we suggest t h a t hereafter the degree of A. M. be c o n f e r r e d o n l y upon those who have passed s a t i s f a c t o r y e x aminations in at least t h r e e s t a n d a r d works t o be selected by the alumnus from a much larger list prescribed by the Council. *

* * 1 h e increase of lawlessness and desecration and general d e g r a d a t i o n ot taste, which makes it In his address at the Christian K n d e a v o r c o n itcccssary for " n e w s p a p e r s " to publish detailed vention Dr. J.

*%

W e t a k e p l e a s u r e in e x p l a i n i n g at this earliest o p p o r t u n i t y what we believe gave offense only because it was m i s a p p r e h e n d e d . W e feel sure that all lovers of H O P E will agree with us when we say that while we do not object to examinations, or Council-witnessed e x a m i n a t i o n s as such, we feel that s t u d e n t s have a right to complain of being compelled to hang around several d a y s a f t e r recitations cease to attend " e x a m i n a t i o n s " which have little or nothin<r to do with p r o m o t i o n s and are a c k n o w l e d g e d on all h a n d s to be mere m a t t e r s of form, often affording no proof of t h e s t u d e n t ' s a t t a i n m e n t or t h e t e a c h e r ' s ability. T h a t institution, whether a s t a t e university t h r o n g e d with s t u d e n t s and d i p l o m a - s e e k e r s or a scantily a t t e n d e d denominational college will eventually suffer if it forego e x a m i n a t i o n s , or substitute mere f o r m a l "quizzes" for rigid and reasonable tests of scholarship and training.

Let the Council, then, not only exercise its privilage oi nttending e x a m i n a t i o n s but discharge its duty of conducting, by c o m p e t e n t committees, e x a m i n a t i o n s t h a t shall show at once the a m o u n t and quality of work actually d o n e and the nature and extent of i m p r o v e m e n t s required.

E i t h e r let this be d o n e or t h e m a t t e r a l t o g e t h e r neglectcd {or sometimes formal e x a m i n a t i o n s become worse than ridiculous—///rr may lead to bod habits of study and indifferent methods of instruction.

' R e m e m b e r the S a b b a t h day t o k e e p it holy.' " IVH ARE BUILD/NG. In youth many are apt to be m o r e enthusiastic in their/V/ZX'than in their work.

W e look upon a noble life as we would sraze at a h a n d some building, forgetting all the patient labor it has cost and how many small pieces g o toward making it what it is. It requires m o r e strength and energy to faithfully carrv out anv

plan than it does to imagine or conceive one.

Kvery one has laid some plans for the future— grea*. Ijeautiful ones o f t e n t i m e s . Vet they forget the t h o u s a n d s of little t o u c h e s which a f t e r m a n y years, m a k e t h e m successful, and their beautiful castles come crashing to the earth.

It is easy to believe yourself worthy of lame a n d honor because, on the d a y you g r a d u a t e d when e v e r y t h i n g looked bright, you planned s o m e grand career for yourself.

Vour idea was as far from reality as the plan of the building which the architect has upon p a p e r and which cannot be b r o u g h t into existence unless lie has material and assistance.

Hy littles great t h i n g s are a c c o m p l i s h e d ; and r e m e m b e r that every honest word and d e e d is o n e more s t o n e a d d e d to the castle you are erecting, even t h o it passes unnoticed by the world.

W e are all building, consciously or unconsciously, and one day the world shall see our castle c o m p l e t e d and it remains with ourseli to m a k e it such that we need not be a s h a m e d to have o t h e r s e x a m i n e it.

WESTERN 67/ rIUZA TIOX. If the " C o l u m b i a W o r l d ' s Fair," with t h e unsurpassed g r a n d e u r of its buildings, the vastness of its scope, the inspiring b e a u t y of its a r c h i t e c t u r e , t h e s y m m e t r y and art of its arrangement and so much more besides, did not alr e a d y in clarion tone, proclaim to the world the rapid a d v a n c e m e n t of the west in population, in possesion, but above all, in culture, then t h e ever-increasing n u m b e r of its educational institutions with their ever-increasing a t t e n d ance would be proof irrefutable that the west is no longer, if indeed it ever has been, a scattered. restless tribe of fortune-seekers.

Within a few years past Ann A r b o r Univcr•sity has not only equal led but o u t s t r i p p e d its eastern rivals, without in t h e least h i n d e r i n g or a b s o r b i n g t h e life and growth of t h e smaller institutions a r o u n d it. C o l l e g e a f t e r college, university a f t e r university with an untold number of normal and high schools have s p r u n g into existence in all p a r t s of the west. A n d yet e v e r y o n e is p r o s p e r o u s and cries for more room. It is g r a t i f y i n g t o note how p e o p l e turn aside from their m o n e y - m a k i n g pursuits to grant a liberal education to t h e i r sons and <laughters. A higher g r a d e of intelligence and civilization must be the natural result.

The very building and e n d o w i n g of so many institutions is evidence of a d v a n c i n g civilization.

I n d o u b t e d l v the west and particularly the

149

Mississippi valley is destined to b e c o m e t h e swaying, the controlling force of this nation in the future and the west is g r a n d l y fitting itself for that task.

Autumn.

It is A u t u m n , and thc birds have be^un t o leave for their southern home.

Some take I'rench leave; o t h e r s d o not trouble t h e m s e l v e s about leavetakini*. S u p p o s e yourself a c c o m p a n y i n g me for a stroll alon<j the river. The b a n k s are covered with thick wood in which beech, b u t t e r n u t , and walnut p r e d o m i n a t e . A t this season of the year we may look for t h e wood-duck, swimming about on the water with her y o u n g brood. T h e song, if we may call the d i s c o r d a n t cries of the blue-jay a song, is heard in places. I his saucy blue-coat is now busily e n g a g e d in sticking beech-nuts in crannies of the bark of trees, for his sustenance dtii ing the winter. I he scjuirrel is beginning to hoard his store of nuts in some hollow limb that serves as his home. l i e is a busv little fellow, and whisks in and out of his door way in a manner that t h r e a t e n s " p o o r luck" t o ' the more slothful human nut-gatherers that may visit that patch of woods.

I hey will look at the trees and e x a m i n e t h e m t h o r o u g h l y , then scrutinize the g r o u n d , but not a nut will they find. T h e y will then begin to d e b a t e the cause on this wise: "It has been a fine season for nuts, no late frosts to kill the buds, no high winds to blow oil the nuts b e f o r e t h e y were ripe; then what can be the cause?" T h i s causes me to r e m a r k ; " G o to the squirrel thou sluggard consider its ways and be wise." " T h e loveliest time of all the year, is sweet and sunny May: It is then the flowers b e d e c k the fields with colors bright a n d gay." So says the p o e t : but are not t h e p a t c h e s of woods c l o t h e d in their J o s e p h ' s coat as pleasing to the eye as t h e m o d e s t arbutus, or the flaunting d a n d e l i o n ? C a n n o t a lover of nature enjoy him- or herself as well in a forest clothed in A u t u m n a l foliage, as in a spring time marsh filled with marsh-marigolds, skunk-cabbage and m a n d r a k e ? It is now that the call of the quail, t h a t bird which is pleasing to the sense of taste as well as to the eye. is heard on e v e r y hand. Now is the time that the sportsman rises early, and d e p a r t s with his gun and d o g . to dole d e a t h and destruction to every luckless rabbit within a radius of ten miles.

H e t r a m p s all day. and returns at dusk, laden p e r h a p s with a w o o d - p e c k e r or a single rabbit that fell by his unerring aim. His p a t i e n c e is e x h a u s t e d ; he is e x a u s t e d physically, hungry as a bear, but, he g r u m b l e s not, for he has been hunting. So it is with t h e small boy who g o e s " c o o n i n g " melons, l i e is sick, very sick, to pay for his indulgence, bub he has p a r t a k e n of f o r b i d d e n fruit and is satisfied.

Will Carleton. ( F r o m t h e S t . L a w r e n c e Daily J

A Dailv r e p o r t e r found him last evening, on a spacious, breezy veranda, a l t e r n a t e l y re a di ng a c o p y of Horace, and gazing off t h r o u g h the trees across the River. " A n d so you k e e p up y o u r old college studies?" was asked. " K v e r y t h i n g worth learning, is worth remembering," replied Mr. Carleton, with a smile. "I always like to carry a few of the old literary masters with me into my vacation.

Their work has lasted so long, that we know t h e r e must be s o m e t h i n g in it that is good for t h e human race. The g r e a t e s t test of the value of literary productions, is T i m e ; and we can trust the verdict of a jury c o m p o s e d of several j/enerat ions."

" D o you have any particular course of reading, during vacation?"

"I t a k e every t h i n g that feeds t h e heart, brain, or soul, laying aside what m a y b e t e r m e d the husks, and a p p r o p r i a t i n g only t h e best portions. histories, novels, poems, essays, news items, editorials a n y t h i n g that will impart new information, or old m a t t e r given in a new form, and t r a n s m i t t e d by the individuality of the a u t h o r . " * * * * * * # " A r e you satisfied with t h e reception of y o u r new book. "City Festivals?"

It is only a baby, having a p p e a r e d July first, and has not had time to receive, to any great e x t e n t ; but the public are already b u y i n g large quantities." " D o the newspaper reviews please y o u ? " " T h e y are of all kinds. S o m e of t h e m laud me to the skies, and others, mostly written byretired r h y m e s t e r s whom the public has not appreciated. are quite sure that I am 'no poet."

And it may be t h e s e are right. I do not care any t h i n g in particular about being called 'a poet' certainly not, if the insane stuff they have written is poetry. I do not care to publish anv thing for the e x p r e s s p u r p o s e of having a few o t h e r writers throw up their h a n d s in holy admiration and say. 'Oh my! isn't that e l e g a n t !

Q u i t e in my line! A l m o s t as good as that little t h i n g I did. the o t h e r day. you know!' while The People merely glance at the stuff, wondering what it is all about. I am trying to d o s o m e t h i n g with my pen. besides t h e a t t e m p t e d a t t a i n m e n t of the u n a t t a i n a b l e and imagining of the unimaginable."

"Vou have definite motives, then, for all ot your work?'

Always! A motive t h a t the d u d e school or rather out-of-school poets, can not u n d e r stand. True p o e t r y is not sickly fancy and s t e r e o t y p e d grace of diction. T o be genuine, poetry must deal with t h e realities of things— must a d d r e s s the brain, heart, and soul. You do not find any lah-de-dah work in David, in H o m e r , in Dante, in S h a k e s p e a r e , in Victor H u g o . T h e y will sacrifice e l e g a n c e of diction, for power and t r u t h , any time. T h e y were no doubt surrounded, all their lives, with the minnows of literature, nibbling at t h e m ; but they had no time to d e v o t e to t h e m .

T h e s e great p o e t s had their work to do. and it has lived, in spite of the p i n w o r m s that are c o n s t a n t l y striving to bore holes in their r e p u t a t i o n , and only succeed in boring the public instead."

TL IK Anomor "Vou consider, as stated in y o u r p r e f a c e to " m o n e y - m a k i n g poet:"' I aim to show that A u " C i t y Festivals," that the m o t i v e is the first t h o r s h i p can be just as i n d e p e n d e n t as any occupation, and that to be a poet, one need not t h i n g to be considered in a p o e m ?

S c h u l t e & Co., Chicago, s t a r t s out with a rather far-tetched a r g u m e n t for protection.

It goes on to speak truly and p o i n t e d l y about the d a n g e r s of c o n g e s t e d wealth and general ignorance; s u g g e s t s a succession tax to maintain manual training schools; it shows the distance between t h e t o p and b o t t o m of society, and says: "If the Republican p a r t y is to live, it must gird up its loins, put on its a r m o r and put an end to plutocracy."

The style is incisive; the m a t t e r suggestive. " T h e A n d e r s o n s : B r o t h e r and Sister" by Agnes Giberne, a u t h o r of " T h e D a l r y m p l e s " etc., is an illustrated 12 mo of 347 pp. just issued by t h e A m e r i c a n Tract Society, New Y o r k , a t Si.50.

It is an English story f r a u g h t with interest and Christian t e a c h i n g showing at once the folly of u n d u e p r i d e and excessive ambition.

In the c h a p t e r " R e t r i b u t i o n " are finely shown t h e child's innate love of truth and justice and the s h o r t s i g h t d e n e s s a n d wickedness of a selfish, misguided affection. T h e book is more helpful because most natural; and the fine t h o u g h t is finer for t h e easy, almost lively, conversational style in which it is put.
