Up In the attic where slept
When was boy, a little boy,
In through the lattice the moonlight crep$,
Bringing tide of dswaa.ns that swept
Over low, red trunsle bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head,
While the moonbeams played at hide and seek
With the dimples on the sun Drowned check
When was boy, little boy!
And. oh, the dreams-the dreams dreamed
When was a boy, a little boyi
For the grace that through the lattice streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gift of prophecy
And to bring the gli,npses Of time to be
When manhood's clarion seemed to call
All, that was the sweetest dream Of all
When was boy, little boy!
I'd like to sleep where used to sleep
When was boy, little boyl
For in at the lattice the moon would peep
Bringing her tide Of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs of the years away
From the heart that is weary and faint today,
And those dreams should give me back again
A peace have never known since then
When I was q boy, . little boyi

qnirements of good form, whether it
was made six years ago or last month.
Attired in evening costume. whether
the swallowtails are long or short. mar

speaking, alike, whether they are wage
earners or millionaires. The dress suit
levels all distinctions and illustrates the
potentiality of correct style. The

greets his wealthy rival who has paid
for his London clothes price like $3.50.
How the fame of this world grows

DICKENS AND FROEBEL.
what the Novelist Did For Child
hOO@-His Work For Education

what the Noveljst Did For Child
hoOd-His Work For Education.
Froebel and Dickens. it ID claimed,
are the best interpreters of Christs
ideals of childhood. The philosophy of
Froebel and the stories of Dickens are
in perfect harmony The two great re-
formers protested vigorously against
the interference of intermeddling adults
with the full development Of the indi-
viduality of the child They recognized
the divinity in each child SO fully that
they objected to all stamping and
molding' processes by which it's self
hood was dwarfed or warped. Other ed
ucators and reformers had considered
the problems Of human evolution from
the standpoint of the adult and had
asked, "What can we do to fit the child
for it's work?' Froebel and Dickens
asked, "How can we help the child to
grow by its own self activitya" They
were the great apostles of childhood.
They began the struggle for the free
dom of childhood from the restrictive
interference of adulthood.
Dickens is commonly regarded merely
as an educational critic. This is mar
row and unfair view He was great
critic. He aroused the indignation Of
the civilized world against those who
treated childhood inhumanly, and the
hatred of adult tyranny which he awak-
ened developed a loving sympathy for
children But he could not have so
clearly exposed the wrong in education
without having definite conception Of
the right. He was the greatest destruc-
tive educational critic. but he was alsO
Q most advanced. positive. constructive
educator There is no great ideal Of the
thew education which is not revealed
by Dickens in his novels or his miscel-
laneous writings.
Dickens was the first Englishman OF
note to advocate the kindergarten. In
July 1855. he published an article OF
II columns in Household Words. which
would take a leading place if compared
with the papers read ut meeting Of
the International Kindergarten union

THE PROFESSORS ADVICE

1t Was Followed. hut 1t Spoiled the
Next Recitation.
They tell this story of college prank
the boys at Princeton played on Profess
or ..Winky Young. professor of as
tronomy His recitations were recently
held the first thing in the morning. and
he had to admcnish the students in his
division to correct the fault of tardi-
ness, which he claimed was increasing
in lamentable manner, and when one
of the students explained that they all
studied so late at night they were apt
to oversleep in the morning he kindly
advised them to secure alarm clocks.
which he said were one of the most val
liable and useful inventions
The next day nearly every student IN
the class came into recitation with an
alarm clock in his pocket. which by pa
tient and united effort were set SO that
one would go off promptly at every sue
cessive minute of the hour The effect
can be imagined Shortly after the first
student was called to recite one of the
clocks in the pocket of a boy at the 9th
er end of the room went off with ter
riEle clamor and before it had finished
second in another part of the room
| made even louder racket
There was brief interval. which the
professor utilized to call up another stu
| dent but the latter was scarcely on his
feet before the third clock went oft The
| performance was continued for half an
| hour or more. when the professor who
had keen sense of humor, recognized
| the situation and cut short the fun by
terminating the recitation The boys
explained that they had followed his
| advice and secured alarm clocks. which
they were carrying around with them
because they were likely to fall asleep
at most any time. st Louis Globe
