lndianapoli , Indiana, May, 1918 Number 2THE GHADUATION.
Graduation exercises of the Normal
College will be held on Friday, June 7, this year. The customary program will be followed, consisting of an Alumni meeting and initiation of the graduates in the forenoon; a banquet given the
oTaduates by the Alumni at noon; a
demonstration by the graduating class in the afternoon, and the closing exercises in the evening. The latter will again take place in the large auditorium of the Athenaeum because of the larO'e number of graduates. The class will ing two songs and the chief address will be made by Mr. E. U. Graff, superin- tendent of schools of Indianapolis, :vhile
1r. George J. Kalbfleisch will say fare- well on behalf of the Class of 191 .
All graduates are cordially invited to attend the various exerci es of the day, and it i hoped that a large attendance will be had for the Alumni meeting and

OUR UMMER SE SION.
The 1918-19 catalog, a well as the 191 Summer Session program, have
bE!en ent to all graduates. This sum-
mer's work ought to prove a drawing card as several new subjects are included which will be interesting to all teachers of physical education. Among them is Eurythmics, the system of rhythmic gymna tics developed by Dalcroze; it is to be taught by Mr. Rath, who will also teach English Folk and Country Dances.
Miss Edna G. Henry, director of the ocial service work of the Indiana Uni- ve1·sity, will lecture on Sociology, which
· ubject should be studied especially by
our graduate , who also ought to attend Mr. Stecher' lectures on the philosophy of phy ical education.
Other subjects offered this year are:
Personal Hygiene Scoutcraft, Anthro- pometry, Playground Work, Physical Diagnosi , Tactics, Games, Free Exer- ci e , Gymna tic Dancing, Apparatus Work, Aesthetic and Folk Dancing, Military Training, Soccer, Ba ketbah and Indoor Baseball.
AN INNOVATION.
Th Normal College has sent to the societies of the North American Gym- nastic Union, as well as to all graduate an attractive poster which is intend d to call the attention of young men and worn n to our school and to intere t them in the profession. This is an innovation for our College, but it :vas thought neces ary to arouse more intere t in our work at this time as the demand for teacher i larger than ever and will continue to increase for many year .
The poster i printed in black on oran ·e and shows in the four corner silhouette picture of variou athletic and gymnastic activities. Jn the center i a large half-tone showing harles Smidl in a pole vault.
It i hoped that the graduate will put these po ters up in their gymnasiums and schools and that they will try to interest promising pupils iri the work.
Remember that many good teachers of physical education will be wanted in the near future, as the public is recognizing that more physical exercise is needed to make our men and women physically fit.

A. P. E. A. CONVENTION.
The convention of the American Phys- ical Education Association held at Phila- delphia, April 10-13, drew the largest attendance of any meeti.ngs the organi- zation ever held; more than 500 teachers of physical education were present. The meetings were interesting throughout and our members are advised to watch
"Mind and Body" and the "American Physical Education Review" for reprints of the various addresses.
During all meetings and discussions a desire for better physical education fa- cilities was manifested; it was the key- note of the convention that more must be done in our country to make our men and women physically fit for work in peace as well as in war. Every one of the speakers brought convincing argu- ment to prove the necessity of the exten- sion of physical exercise in order to make the people strong. Much valuable ma- terial i~ contained in these addresses, which everv teacher of physical educa- tion ought to read. Mr. Rath read a paper on "Fundamentals Regarding the Selection of Activities."
The meeting of the North American Gymnastic Union Teachers' Section on April 13th was not as well attended as might be desired; this is partly due to the fact that our members in the middle west were unable to secure leave of ab- sence at the time. There were thirty- eight present to listen to Carl L. Schra- der's address on minimum essentials for gymnastic associations; to Dr. D. M.
Ferd. Krogh's lecture on muscle co-ordi- nation and psychic processes; to Emil Rath' interesting figures on the num- ber of N. A. G. U. members in service, and to H. Steichmann's words on the ad- vancement of the work of our associa- tion . The meeting of this section closed with a dinner at the Turngemeinde.
NEWS FROM THE COLLEGE.
On Friday afternoon, April 26, the students of the Normal College "did their bit" towards making the Third Liberty Loan drive in Indianapolis a success, by taking part in a demonstration given at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. The program was opened by a demonstra- tion of first aid skill on the part of the ambulance corps of Fort Benjamin Har-
rison. N ume1·ous shots were :fhed from
various parts of the monument, followed by some "movie" acting on the part of the rookies who were selected to be the
"victims" of the attack and the corps.
It pToved to be quite interesting, espe- cially to some of the student who are studying Emergencies at the present time. Following this, came the ex- hibition by the students. The first num- ber was a dance of the vigorou Rus ian type, pe1·formed by the Senior men and entitled "The Son of the Puszta." Th Senior ladies next danced "Silver Stars,"
a combination of a more aesthetic na·
ture. This was succeeded by free exer·
cises and tactics by the entire studen body, in which the disciplinary values of the training received, were brought out.
The "Skaters' Waltz" by the Senior men and women, next held the attention of the audience, followed by an exhibition or skill on the parallel bars by some of the Senior men, which ended with a pyramid of no mean difficulty. The en·
tire class then performed "Plyasovaia,"
a handkerchief dance, which ended rather surprisingly with an unexpected display of American flags. As a fitting finale all sang "Land of Mine."
The popularity and succe s of the Lib·
erty Loan Drive exhibition was well proven when Dean Rath was requested to restage the performance on Friday evening, May 3, to help further the ef·
forts of the Hoosier worker who were
ALU:\1NI BULLETIN 5
endeavoring to put Indianapolis "over the top."
Dr. Jewett V. Reed, instructor in physiology, has recently been called into the service. He is the fourth to leave, of the teaching corps at the college, Dr.
Mumford, Dr. Maxwell and Dr. Segar having left previously.
In the course on rr'eaching and Values, the Senior Class has been holding an in- teresting discussion on "Play and G_;i.mes." Mr. Rath has had several articles on the subjects outlined by stu- dents, bringing out the three fold value -physical, mental and moral. Espe- cially interesting, however, was the study of the psychic element that is added through competition in games, and the fundamental importance of emphasizing ideas and standards of action which may be carried over to civil life. The striv- ino· for standards in various activities and the competition between individual and teams mu t be directed in right chan- nels so that ideals m~y be instilled which will lead to higher mental, moral and physical development.
The Junior Girls Basket Ball Team de- feated the girls of the Shortridge High School Team on Friday, March 15.
OUR SOLDIER BOYS.
The graduates of normal schools for physical ~ducation will be interested in the announcement that the War Depart- ment will probably use all trained teachers of physical education of draft age in the training camps. Although ex- ceptions can not be made for men of draft age, the necessity of having trained athletic directors may eventually cause a change in the present policy. Any graduate who desires to continue his teaching while serving in the Army, should apply to Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft,
War Department, Washington, D. C., who has charge of the athletic activitie in trnining camps.
The following graduates have been re- ported as being in service now; if any of our boys are omitted in the list or if their rank is not given correctly, we shall be thankful for further inf orma- tion so as to be able to keep the list as correct as possible:

6 ALUMNI BULLETIN STATISTICS BEARING ON MEM-
BERS OF THE NORTH AMER- ICAN GYMNASTIC UNION
IN SERVICE.
When the United States Government took steps to create a great National Army it was to be expected that the North American Gymnastic Union would furnish its full quota of men, and the Executive Committee of the organization has considered it of '.interest to gather statistics bearing on the members in service.
Of the 208 societies constituting the North American Gymnastic Union, 180 have sent in reports showing 1,657 mem- bers in army and navy service. This number includes the members of one so- ciety which did not give a full report. In the following synopsis of the statistics only the complete reports thus far re- ceived were considered.
These reports show that 692 members volunteered for service, of whom 467 were "Actives," or members of the young men's classes; only 14 of them were re- jected for various reasons. They show further that 1,071 members were drafted, of whom 765 were "Actives"; 203 of the drafted men were exempted for various reasons.
Therefore, of the 1,763 members who either volunteered or were drafted, 217 were exempted or rejected (12.3 per cent.), leaving 1,546 men in service. To these are to be added 111 members of the Philadelphia Turngemeinde, which gives the above total of 1,657. Owing to the large number of its members in the service the Philadelphia Turngemeinde was unable to answer the questionnaire fully and its report has, as previously stated, been omitted i.n the statistics.
The reasons for exemptions and rejec- tions were as follows: Dependents, 58;
government work, 11; foreign born mem- bers who had acquired only the first nat-
uralization papers, 18; too old, 1; too young, 1; physical unfitness, 120; un- known, 8; total, 217.
The percentage of rejections for phys- ical unfitness is 6.8 per cent. This is most significant showing when compared with the percentage of rejections for th same cause in the whole draft, which was over 33 per cent. The large differ- ence undoubtedly proves that regular physical exercise is of great benefit to our young men and enables them to pass the rio-id examination for army service easily.
It may be argued, however, that thi comparison is not correct since the vol- unteers are included in the percentage of 6.8 while the 33 per cent. referred td pertains only to drafted men. Consider- ing· only the drafted men of our organi- zation, we find that 114, or 10.65 per cent., were rejected for pnysical unfit- ness. Even this compares very favor- ably with the rejections of the whole draft, being less t.Qan one-third of the latter.
Of the volunteers only six were reject- ed because of physical unfitness, or 0.87 per cent.
All of the above figures pertain only to the first draft and to volunteers who entered the service during last year.
Twenty-eight societies have not returned the questionnaires. On the basis of their membership we may estimate the num- ber of their members in service at 100.
Reports received since the completion of the first draft indicate that a large num- ber of members of our organization have since been drafted. · We may safely say that at least 2,000 members of the North American Gymnastic Union are now serving the country.
Of the 1,657 members in service on whom reports were received, 207, or 12.5 per cent., are officers, as follows: 1 navy commander, 3 colonels, 5 majors,
ALU.MN! BULLETIN 7 31 captains, 60 lieutenants, 57 sergeants,
50 corporals. ,
As shown by the reports, 692 of our member , or almost 39 per cent. of the whole number in service, volunteered. It is also interesting to note that 1,079
"Active" members joined the colors.
HAIL 1918!
This was the heading of the programs for one of the cleverest performances ever given at the Normal College. The Class of 1919 gave a faTewell party to the Senior Class, which consisted of a vaudeville performance followed by dancing.
The program opened with a dance by Miss Smathers, which was very much appreciated by the audience. Then fol- lowed a duet by Mr. Schiferle and Mr:
Kieffer. "Cupid enters Boarding- School," a little sketch written and di- rected by Miss Neubarth, was next in the program. Following this came a reading given by Miss Jahn, an Hawaiian sketch presented by Miss Hoesterey and Miss Neubarth and a clever negro dance by Miss Holzbauer and Mr. Gilson. As a smashing finish came a Minstrel Show, directed by Mr.
Seelbach. The students who took part in the sketch were: Dorothy Smith, Jewel Gordon, Ethel Emrich, Amelia Vorndran, Bess O'Gorman, Phoebe J.
Bentley, Constance Arbaugh, Anita Fuhr- ing, Edna Goedde, Alfred Seelbach, Roland Dollins and Harold Quinlan.
Those in the minstrel were: Ray Schiferle, William Gilson, Alfred Seel- bach, Harold Quinlan, Allen Schmidt, John Kieff er and Roland Dollins.
I will tell you my rule. Talk about those subjects you have had long in your mind, and listen to what others say about subjects you have studied but re- cently. Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used 'till they are seasoned.- Oliver Wendell Holmes.
STUDENTS ALLIANCE.
Owing to the spring recess, the April meeting was omitted. The May meet- ing proved of great interest and pro- vided a pleasant evening with ample e '- citement. The program con isted of a tenor olo by John Kieffer; piano accom- paniment by Miss Martha Evans; violin obligato by Mr. Alfred Seelbach; violin solo by Mr. Seelbach, Miss Margaret Schnitzel' at the piano.
Through the courtesy of Dr. Sputh, the influence of anaesthetics and the stages passed through by patients being "put under" were shown. He demonstrated with ether on Mr. Seelbach, with chloro- form on Mr. Schiferle, and with ethyl- chloride on Mr. Lorenzen. In addition to its educational value, this number was very interesting.
It is doubtful if the Alliance will meet durino· the month of June, by reason of the exams and oTaduation. Here's hop- ing all the present Juniors return to boost the Alliance next fall and make it a real, live wire society. /

1918 GYMNAST.
The 1918 Gymnast arrived May 15 and was fully up to expectations. Those of the Alumni who purchased the annual have already received them and we sin- cerely hope that satisfaction has been obtained. There are still a number of copies left and those wishing them can be accommodated if they mail their checks to Albert F. __ Schaffner, care of
the Normal College. Price, $1.25.
ALUMNI MEETING.
Because of the success of the meeting of the Alumni Association held during last year's summer cours.e, ~he Executi~e
Committee of the Association has again called a meeting to be held Saturday, July 13, 1918.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tii;ed by waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk
too wise;
If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Dis- aster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life
to, broken, .
And stoop and build 'em up with worn- out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winning
And ri k it on one turn of pitch-and- to s,
And lose, and start again at your begin- nings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them:
"Hold on!"
If you can talk with c1·owds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with ~ings nor lose the com- mon touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance
run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more- you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling.
MY RELIGION.
To love justice, to long for the right, to love merey, to pity the suffering, to assist the weak-to foTget wrongs, and remember benefits-to love the truth, to be sincere, to utter honest words; to love liberty, to wage relentless war against child and friend, to make a happy home;
slavery in all its forms; to love wife and to love the beautiful in art, in nature;
to cultivate the mind, to be familiar with the mighty thoughts that genius has expressed, the noble deeds of all the world; to cultivate courage and cheerful- ness, to make others happy, to fill life with the splendor of generous deeds, the warmth of loving words; to discard error, to destroy prejudice, to receive new truths with gladness; to cultivate hope, to see the calm beyond the storm, the dawn beyond the nig·ht; to do the best that can be done and then be resigned:
This is the religion of reason, the creed of science-This sati fies the brain and heart.-Robert G. Ingersoll.

PHI DELTA PL Greetings, Alumnae:
We come to the end of the second year of Phi Delta Pi and you are wondering what the progress of 1917-18 has been.
We'll tell you.
Beginning with last summer a splen- did new addition was made to Phi Delt- Delia Gipe, who was taken in during the Summer Session. You may be sure we are very proud to have her name enrolled with ours.
Besides the regular Freshman initia- tion there were two other additions to chapters, one to the Alpha, Marguerite Holzhauer, on February 21, and Emily owack to the Cincinnati Alumnae Chapter.
And individual membership ha not been all. This year has marked that big ' step in the progress of Phi Delta Pi, for it has joined the Sorority ranks of na- tional character. Beta was instalied at Temple University, Philadelphia, by Ruth Evelyn Mason. Fifteen enthusi- a tic girls comp:dse this chapter and theirs is the real Sorority spirit. Next, the Gamma Chapter was installed at Northwc,,tern University, Illinois. In- stallation was given by Gertrude Law, Edna Goedde and Ethel Emrich. There are twelve in Gamma this year, each of whom is imbued with the real Phi Delt pirit. We are very proud of Beta an<l Gamma and expect big things from them.
Their situations are such as to warrant, not only a high standard of work owing to their normal professional nature, but al o an Inter-Chapter a sociation and friendship.
Recent additions to Grand Council have been made and are as follows:
Vice-President-Hazel C. Brown (Beta) Cor. Secretary-Ruth Evelyn Mason Asst. Treasurer-Francis H. Points Investigator-Nelda Rehrer (Gamma)
At the annual meeting held May 15 at the Athenaeum the following officer for 1919 were elected.
President-E. Pauline Smathers Vice-President-Ethel H. Emrich Rec. Secretary-Amelia Vorndran Cor. Secretary-Marguerite Holzhauer Treasurer-Edna Goedde
Chaplain-Dorothy A. Stoops Sergeant-at-Arms-Meta B. Jahn Dean Emil Rath has consented to be- come Grand Patron of Phi Delta Pi. We are very proud to have him and take this opportunity to again express our appreciation.
Now here's a word and the very hea1 ti est invitation extended to the Alumni:le. We have instituted an Annu,al Banquet and this year is to be the first.
It will be held at Hotel Claypool, Sat- urday, June eighth, and we want just as many of our Alumnae to join us as can pos ibly arrange to come. Send in your order for reservation not later than June first and know that we'll be very happy to have you with, us for our last social affair this year.
But the Annual Banquet is not the last
"get togethe1·" for the Active Alphas.
We have a week's delightful camping trip ahead, from June 8 to 15. Dorothy Stoops has invited all of us to spend the week with her at her summer home, Wawasee, Indiana. You may think of u canoeing and motoring, hiking and swimming often that week. We are all very excited about it and can hardly wait for the time to come.
For those who cannot come to gradu- ation, here are our best wishes for a happy summer.
And for those who do-we're ready to assure you that you won't regret it!

ALUl\INI BULLETIN 11
DELTA PSI KAPPA.
One of our March meetings was held at the home of Gladys Gray. How we did enjoy the tea and home-made dainties!
The week of spring vacation, the girls·
who did not go home, had several little pleasure trips.
The April meeting was held at the home of Constance Arbaugh in Irvington.
Charlotte Herringer, Chicago, paid us a short visit, en route to Muncie. She came back, accompanied by Mildred Jost, to be present at the initiation services, which took place at Mrs. A. E. Metz- ger's. Lilly Beckman of Frankfort was also present. Dorothy Smith, '19, of St.
Louis; Marie Teague, '19, Rockville, and Mabel Gipe, '13, Indianapolis, were initiated.
One of the most charming May parties was arranged by Dorothy Smith on May 1. Each detail was perfect and it was only when the clock pointed to a late hour, that we tip-toed back to our own rooms.
May 4 the gymnastic conte t for the awarding of emblems took place. There were four events and we were all so proud of Louise Bessire, who received three first places and one second place.
Marie Hartje took second place in one event, while Ann Hoestery took a second and a third place.
The "Foil," the official bulletin of the Delta Psi Kappa, is making its second appearance this month and is better than ever. Don't you enjoy reading it?
.The school year is almost over, but
we feel that the week of camping at Broad Ripple, June 8 to 15, will exceed all anticipations. There will be no meals to plan, no dishes to wash, nothing for us to do but revel. Ye Psi Kaps, come join us, plenty of beds, a cook, and plenty to eat. Come just for the week-end if not the whole week.
Frieda Martens, '16, Kansas City, i.,, now a Delta Psi Kappa. We are o glad!
May 13 brought us to the beautiful country home of Dr. and Mrs. Henry.
We had an out-door luncheon which surely was appreciated. The e':ening was pent in dancing.
May 16 was another memorable day.
The Epsilon Chapter of Delta Psi Kappa was installed at the University of Southern California a't Lo Angeles.
The Chapter boasts of eleven member , , two of which are on the faculty, namely the Associate Professor of Physical Edu- cation and her assistant.
Miss Ada Crozier was hostess to the sorority, May 18. A very pleasant time was had.
The last meeting, we say it with re- gTet, the year has seemed too short, will be at the hospitable home of Mrs. Boos.
Installation of officers foT the coming year will take place.
DIDN'T KNOW HIS NAME.
Willie- "Boo-hoo."
Stranger-"What are you crying about?"
Willie-"I'm lost."
Stranger-"Where do you live?"
Willie-"! don't know, we just moved today."
Stranger-"Well, what is your name?"
Willie-"! don't know, mother just got married again."
OFF, TOO.
A visitor at a hospital for the insane, was about to leave for the train, when he pulled out his watch to compare it with the clock that hung in the hall.
Turning to a patient, he asked, "Is that ' clock right?"
"Right? You d - - fool! If that clock was right, do you suppose they'd have it in here?"

We were glad to receive those checks.
for the Bulletin from the Stechers, '81 and '14.
Cecelia Heilbrunn, '14, passed through Indianapolis on her way to Louisville, Ky., 1·ecently.
William F. Hofer, '17, remembered his duty toward the Bulletin and Alumni Association.
Carl Hein, '14, was married to Miss Maude Nicholas of Cleveland, February 23, 1918.
Karl Hofer, '05, has left Cincinnati to take a position in the public schools of Newark, N. J.
Hans Reuter, '11, has had a siege of illness which kept him in the hospital for three weeks.
John Feller, '16, is getting desperate before the draftr-takes two girls home in one evening.
Alexander Harwick, '13, has completed a comprehensive syllabus for use in the schools of Reading, Pa.
I can not afford to miss an issue. It is news from a large family, "a letter from home."-Schuettner, '15.
It seemed like a few years ago to see Helen Homan, '15, among the dancers at one of the recent students' affairs.
"The proper age for getting married?"
Ed Bartels, '16, will give any advice needed per pamph- or booklet free on request.
My marriage brought me two nice letters from Indianapolis, one from
"Doc" Crozier and one from 'lr. Rath.- Margery Reynolds Kelley, '14.
Among the out-of-town Alumni pres- ent at the recent monogram contest held by the College were May Paddack, '14;
Charlotte Herringer, '15, and Lily Beck- man, '16.
William J. Ruzicka, '17, of Marshal High School, Chicago, is one of the live ones· who stepped up to the .counter, kissed his dollar bill goodby and sent it off to us to do its bit.
Corinne Guenther, '11, had much to do with the success of the Greek games staged by Central High School, St. Louis, at the Municipal Theater in May. Five hundred girls participated.
Hope Solbrig, '16, of Alden, N. Y., spent one of the April week ends visit- ing in Rochester. Word o' mouth say Hope got the loan of a parallel bar and then trucked it from Buffalo to Alden for her high school boys.
Wilna Hermes, '15, is living a life of varied escapades, as usual. She now makes her rounds on a bicycle and re- cently a gander disputed her right o' way. We are grateful to her for the money and good wishes she sent the Bul- letin.
Arthur Reisner, '17, a staunch sup- porter of the Bulletin, was disappointed when he did not receive his March issue.
The Staff are complimented to think he missed it and hope to hear the same strong p1·otest from others who are like- wise mistreated.
Fritz P. Jacobi, '17, teacher of the Davenport Turngemeinde, sent us the necessary wherewithal to continue the Bulletin and we return the compliment by saying we read glowing accounts of his Schauturnen in both "The Democrat"
and the "Iowa Reform" with pleasure and pride.
AL !\INT B LI ETIN 13 William G. Braun, '17, stopped off and
spent several days at Rochester, N. Y., on his way back to Camp Dix. He had a round of pleasure among some of his old cronies, including John Feller, Ed Bartels and Lelia Guenther. The latter, by the way, is very popular in the Turn- verein (Junior Class).
Among my papers I found this Alumni notice. Evidently I have forgotten to pay my dues. I am sony I have neg- lected such an important matter. I cer- tainly appreciate the Alumni Bulletin.
It is the one thing that keeps me in touch with school life. I wouldn't miss it for anything.-Frieda C. Flaig, '16.
I enclose check for the Bulletin. I en- joy reading it, as it puts one in touch with what is going on and brings the Alma l\!ater closer. To me "The Bul- letin" is a medium of introduction be- tween individuals at a distance; it is a connectin a- link (even if a loose one) of the members of our large family of brothers and sisters.-D. M. F. Krogh, '88.
It is with pleasure that I renew my membership in the Alumni Association and my subscription to our Bulletin. Not a word in the 2_ast issues has been over- looked by me. Now that I have enlisted in the hospital corps of the navy it will be doubly appreciated. I will be sta- tioned at the Great Lakes for training and will forward my address later.
Clarence Whipple, '17, is located at the Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis, in the Quartermaster's A via ti on Corps.-Per- cival U. Duebendorf, '17.
We now are in a way to tell you why Art Pfaff, '14, has never contributed to the Bulletin. He and "Fritzie"-Miss Erna Fritson, '14,-were too busy mak- ing plans for their maniage. We have heard it from very reliable gossip that they are wedded, and so "Sitzy and Fritzy" '14·, are disposed of.
TRUE CULTURE.
The highest culture is to speak no ill;
The best reformer is the man who e eye Are quick to see all beauty and all \vorth;
And by his own discrete, ''ell-ordered life,
Alone reproves the erring.
When thy gaze
Turns it on thy own soul, be most severe, But when it falls on a f el1ow-ma11 Let kindness control it; and refrain From that belittling censure that springs
forth
From common lip like weeds from marshy oil.
-Ella W11eeler Wilcox.
A happy man or woman is a better thing to find than a five-pound note. He or she is a radiating focus of good-will;
and their entrance into a room is as though another candle had been Ii ·hted.
We need not care whether they could prove the forty-seventh proposition; they do a better thing than that-they prac- tically demonstrate the great Theorem of the Liveablene s of Life.-Robert Louis Stevenson.
The moving finger writes; and, having writ,
Move on; nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
-Omar Khayyam.
The largest quantity of work will not be done by thi curious engine for pay, or under pTe. sure, or by help of any kind of fuel which ma:i be supplied by the chaldron. It will be done only when the motive force, that is to say, the will or spirit of the creature, is brought to it greatest strength by its own proper fuel;
namely by the affection .-John Ruskin.

FRA ELBERTUS SAYS:
Home is the place we go to change our clothes to go somewhere else.
The outcome of the battle is of no im- portance- but how did you fight?
Life is just one damn thing after another.
Wol'k is for the worker. We become
robust only through exercise, and every faculty of the mind and every attribute of the soul grows strong only as it is exercised.
God doesn't need us so much as Hi8 children do; so let us help them. God can shift for himself.
A man possessing initiative is a creator.
When in doubt, mind your own busi- ness.
It takes at least five bad men to make one bad woman.
The man who can't forget is quite as bad as the one who can't remember.
Everybody should remember to forget.
No man is to be pitied except the one whose future lies behind.
Dirt is merely the useful in the wrong place. So is sin merely misdirected energy.
INTERRUPTED TOO SOON.
J ohnny-"I is-"
Teacher-"No, don't say 'I is'; say, 'I am.'"
J ohnny- "I am the ninth letter of the alphabet."
Teacher-"Spell specimen."
Pupil (ha1·d of hearing)- "Singular or plural?"
Teacher- " Singular."
Pupll- "S-p-e-c-i-m-a-n."
DO IT NOW.
Stop a minute and say "Hello"
As down Jife's road you smoothly go.
For a kindly word and a cheery smile Will sho1-ten the way by many a mile
For some poor fellow that's moving slow:
Stop a minute, and say "Hello.''
