A WORD FROM DEWEY.
George Dewey. victor, laurel-crowned BY
Man ait Of the hour, obedient to it's call,
Above the tumult let yourvoice be heard
Redeem race! Redeem our piighted
You Know the truth, and you are not
To dare re- great odds, alone and undis-
For NO YOU II have looked in alien hearts and
found 81
Yourself enthroned; your countrynaen
have crowned 1s1s
Your deeds Of valor with their homage
Your manhood with their love-both look
| to you ec rs
For one more duty simply bravely met;
Unseal your lipe-a greater victory vet
Awaits you, and confronts you, ere release
From war-won triumphs-now, achleye US
peacei
Send forth a greeting
This message to you all George Dewey
| sends: sr
Salute the flag serve, the flag that Spain
| Statutes today; your struggle is in vain
Because unequal-yet the cause you seek
IShall surely triumph--as a friend speak
The word that all America shall hear
| And echo back TO you. BE OF good cheer,
You shall be free, as we who fought are
We forge no letters for your liberty;
We love our flag that over free men
That flag shall never faunt you as its
! slaves,
Our, nag shall be your bond-forget the
That neither side will own
Battalions-Halt!'
| This is the word a nation waits to hear;
A whispered word, close to McKinley's
A word that he will find a way to heed;
A word America will give God-speed.
Made audible, when Dewey speaks the

'What crooked streets this town has!''
exclaimed the stranger in the is
lands.
Yes" answered the Filipino gener-
al. We're mighty proud of this town.
It makes US think of Boston" Wash

A teachers course of lectures such as
has been given for two or three years
under the auspices Of Supt. Q. F. Car
roll and a committee of teachers, will
| probably be given this year, and ar
engagements are going on in regard to
the selection of speakers and dates. 1t
has been suggested that the proceeds
| be devoted to the decoration of the
| English high school.
Only about 20 per cent of the enc
| tering class at the New Britain (Gsb0
normal school this year. although grad
yates from the best high schools in the
state, could give intelligent answers
| to the following questions:
| 1. locate and mention some fact
| about Transvaal, Luzon, Dawson,
| Rennes, Ponce.
2. Who is Sir Thomas Upton, Labor,
David Harum, Richard Croker, Arthur
Hadley, Dom Paul, Richard Carvel,
John Hay?
8. Say something about Venus of
| Milo, Sistine Madonna, Rosa Bonheur
Lohengrin, the Man with the Hoe,
Oceanic, John de Reszke, Carmen,
Shamrock.
A. What and where located Louvre,
| Vatican, Alhambra, st. Sophia, Krem-
| lin, Acropolis.
These questions pre-suppose some
thing like culture on the part of cam
didates, and that is a rare commodity
among teachers Of any state. AS, out
side Of certain line of school books.
the average young woman who enters
the normal school to fit for the teaching
profession knows and reads little, it
is not strange that so per cent of the
candidates for admission to this partic-
ular school found questions pertaining
to THE Man with the Hoe" and Jean
de Reszke too difficult. 1t was one Of
Principal E. Harlow Russelrs COM
plants, when he addressed the Wor-
cester county teachers last week, that
those who seek admission to the Wor-
cester state normal school are narrow
in their outlook. From all of which.
it would appear that the public school
product, unless reinforced by home and
social influences of the most fortunate
kind, is apt to be crude and cheap.
Miss Beatrice HEREFORD will recite her
original monologues in Memorial hall
on the evening of Nov. 10. Wherever
Miss Herford has once appeared, her
press agent has ever after an easy
time Of it, and not until the genera
ton that heard her has been wiped from
off the face Of the earth, will there be
anything left for him to do in the way
of advertisement.
