The Girl of the Netherln M DIS.

The Dutch girl does not enjoy any
thing like the amount of freedom
granted to her English or American
sister. She is very carefully chap
eroned young person and when she
goes TO the theatcr it is with her elders
not merely with friend or two of her
own age At the dances she attends,
songs, Rotations and music for the
entertainment of the elders form a
part of the regular programme, and the
chapcrons sit at tables socially enjoy
ing their coffee or other refreshments,
while the young folk glide over the
waxed floor to the strains Of the latest
waltz. Dutch maidens have to make
the best of their opportunities OF
amusement, for when it pleases their
parents to seek the quiet of home they
must meekly accompany them. In
their country the idea of II girl being
unchapcroned at a dance is not TO be
thought of mt any rate, not yet, EN-
change.

it with discussion of the terrible
catastrophe that so sadly ends the
tragic event. He impressed indel-
IDLY upon our minds the strength
and magnificence of that great char
acter-Hamlet; the creative and al
most superhuman skill of the
master. He expounded and justified
the case Of Hamlet in words so beau
tiful and eloquence so inspiring that
we longed to get our books that we
might study more closely and medi-
tate more deeply on the wonderful
subject.
He pictured to us the true Ham
let. He justified fully in oui minds
the enaction of Hamlet, and, where
before we doubted, there is now the
greatest assurance that give Ham
let the opportunity to do and it is
done at once.h He has lifted from
before the eyes that mist of uncer-
tainty which invariably rests before
the gaze of every one as he reads the
various opinions of the critics on
this subject. He has enabled US to
view through clear atmosphere
this great characterize see him as
he is; not as others see him,
To Governor LaFolette we are
greatly indebted, and to all who aid
ed us in obtaining his services we
extend our most hearty thanks.
What is the center of gravity?
Horace Goldsworthy, having been
absent from school for sometime be.
cause of sickness, has lately returned.
While the seniors and high school
assistants were enjoying visit to
the Darlington high school last
Wednesday, the remainder of the
pupils were having pleasant time
at home. During the afternoon Mr..
Bergen read us an extract from
Il" People We Know" which proved
that the high school students have
no more work to do than many other
people, but that they often have a
better opportunity of accomplishing
their tasks. The reading both amused
and encouraged us.
Mayme Tyrer and Abbie Parmley
have returned to school after Il
weeks sickness.
The Rev. Thomas r. Sherman and
Rev. James O'Keefe were among
the high school visitors of the past
week. The time spent with us was
short, but we appreciate their kindly
interest in our welfare.
Several specimens have recently
been placed under the microscope
for the benefit of the physiology
class, including cats brain, starch
cells, section of a tooth and yeast
cells. 1t has also been passed by a
unanimous vote, that the street in
front of the school be paved with
biscuits made by the girls in the
Physiology class, which biscuits we
are confident will ornament our city
longer than our new school building.
Note.-The sophomore girls have
quantity of these biscuits on hand !;
they will be sold for cobble-stones to
the highest bidder.
Prof. Thressler, state high school
inspector, visited our school last
Friday. He was with us all day and
inspected the work of the various
classes. The inspectors visit throws
great responsibility upon the stu
dent, upon whose recitation or atti-
tude depends the standing of our
high school with the state univer-
sity.
On the morning previous to the
coming OF Gov. La Toilette, the high
SHOOT was busy making preparations
and looking forward to visit from
him in the afternoon, but later we
were disappointed when word came
that the governor would not reach
our city until 8: 90 p. N.

The class of 1904 has had great
many pleasant times, but none were
more enjoyable than the few hours
spent in Darlington by it's members
and the Faculty on last Wednesday
and Thursday.
With the exception of Prof. and
Mrs. Bergen and three of our seniors
who We're unavoidably prevented
from attending, the party left for
Darlington Wednesday afternoon on
the passenger.
Upon arriving we proceeded to the
high school, where we were hearth
ly welcomed, and invited to hear the
remaining classes of the day.
After school was dismissed we eX-
plored all the hooks and corners of
the school, from the first grade to the
high school department. We were
particularly attracted by the fine
pictures which hung IN every room
They were works of art and the
school is fortunate in securing so
many excellent paintings.
In one reception room there hung
a handsome large picture of the Bat
tie of Gettysburg; in the literature
room were portraits of English and
American authors. In all the grades
as we'll as in the high school, were
splendid copies of well-known paint
ings, such as the Sistine Madonna
Shepherdess Knitting, Sailing of the
Maytiower and the Bridge of Signs.
These pictures are changed from one
room to another each month, so that
all the pupils may have the benefit
of this splendid collection.
1t would add very materially to
the attractiveness and value of our
new building if the alumni should
present some memorials along this
line.
Soon the freight came down from
our city, bringing Prof. and Mrs. Ber-
gen.
After a delicious banquet, we were
entertained in the "Gym" which the
Darlington seniors had decorated
with their green and gold.
AS the time grew near for the fac
ulty and some of our students to de-
part. the Darlington senior president
made a short speech and both Prof,
Babcock and Prof. Bergen spoke Of
their pleasure in seeing the two
classes meet in such friep dly spirit
as was in evidence that evening.
Those who remained until the next
day were royalty entertained, and
visited the school on the following
morning.
These, with the exception of two
who missed the train, departed on
the afternoon passenger. The two
remaining followed on the night
train.
We all enjoyed ourselves to the
fullest extent. The Darlington peo-
pie put forth their best efforts in or
der that we might have a pleasant
time, and we parted in hearty good
fellowship. We hope we may soon
have the opportunity of showing
them how much we appreciate their
kindness,
