The Classics at Harvard.

Last fall, when the changes from
Prescribed to elective studies were
made in the freshman course. conser-
vative people throughout the country
predicted that this would he the death.
blow to classics at Harvard. The
same thing was predicted in 1S4l,
when Greck md Latin were made
elective, after the freshman year. In
both cases these predictions are prov.
ed to be false:
This can be nd better shown than by
quoting from the Dear's last report.
After all these years, with Greek and
Latin elective in three upper classes.
if the classics were to perish 1t would
have been shown by this time. by
the same report, the falsity Of the
often. n.heard statement that under an
elective system, ''soft'' courses are
usually chosen is proved.
In this report it is seen that out OF
1000 college students 52l attend the
history courses, 454 natural history,
357 philosophy. S24 political economy.
229 Greek, 2O3 Latin; English and
| German, 1874 each; French. l89; fine
arts, 1871; chemistry. ia.
| 1t will be seen by tins that EnSlsh
and French, which are much eas er
courses than Greek and Latin. are
/ still less popular. Such courses as
history. PHI osophy and political eco
nomy, which are very difficult, are the
fullest courses in college.
The same thing is shown in the
freshman class. Instead of being neg.
lccted, the classics and mathematics
are the best attended freshmen courses,
In a class of 250 students 1856 take
Latin. 1863 Greek. l4l mathematics
The number of freshmen who take al
the studies is 83.
This choice of mathematics and
classics in preference to easier courses
is due to the counsel of their forme
teachers, which the freshmen ar
strongly advised to foliow.-Bosto'

J. W. Reilly, Poet and sign.paintcr.

1 was running . weekly paper in a
small Northern Indiana town at tho
time first met him. You know how
the Inhabitants of small places go wild
over anything of a freakish nature,
and the reigning sensation Just
then was the work of q blind sign
painter. A party of advertising
fakirs had just struck the village
who decorated the dead walls and
fences in the most gaudy way imagin-
able, the finishing and artistic touches
being done by member of the party
who was known rs the ..Only Blind
Sign Painter on Earth" Business with
them was rushing, every merchant in
town coming around and wanting
work done, for when the Blind Sign
Painter, who was mono other than
Reilly, felt his way up u ladder and
dashed off an artistic sign, half the in.
habitants of the place turned out to
witness the feat.
The scheme of tho fakirs, which was
an original one and calculated to
catch the multitude, all depended on
the histrionic ability Of the Hoosier
Poet. He had large, frank gray eyes,
and the vision Of an eagle. When tho
surface was selected lie was brought
out and led to the foot of the ladder.
A part of his business was to go up u
step. carefully feeling his way, tllen
turning, stare into vacancy in IN aim
less. nloony sort of style, and bring to
bear OH the crowd face full of pain
and pathos. This rarely failed to
draw expressions of sympathy, and.
what was more to the point, addition
al advertising contracts. Slowly
climbing the ladder, he fingered tho
surface, measuring carefully with his
hands the dimensions of tho letters,
and then suddenly seizing tho brush,
the sign was reeled off much moro
rapidly tnan the average painter could
do it.
Another catching bit of "b,tsiness'
was to stumble on coming down.. when
e,'i one Of the .p party gave him showing
brutal order to be more careful.
''Shame, shame! some one ought to
take tho poor man away from those
ruflins," were sample remarks from
the crowd on such occasions. One
day when he was up the ladder l
caught his eye. My suspicious had
been aroused, and he saw it in nv
face. Slowly and deliberately, with
owlsh solemnlty. he winkcd that great
gray eye Of his in u way that spoke
whole libraries.
After that was taken in his confi-
dence, and fir ding that he was gold
mine Of talent induced him to leave
the painters and go to work in my
Office, a task which was not difficult,
!or he only regarded tho "Blind Paint
er" dodge as > boyish lark, and was
getting tired of tho fun. That was
the beginning of his newspaper career.
He went to indianapolis and has been
doing excellent work on the press of
THAT city ever since. l understand his
book is netting him quite handsomely
and is a success every way.-Pittsburgh
