Our geometry class have recently
been applying geometric principles
to some practical problems, which
has exercised their thinkers" in no
small degree.
We have the pleasure to thank
Mrs. Shirley for very beautiful art

mural decoration Of the primary room
of the west side school,
Miss Travis is now closing the
work in two half-year studies,
Physical Geography and English
History. In the place of these,
Botany and American Literature will
be taken up.
The band instruments are on the
way and are expected here this week.
A meeting will be called Immediately
and an organization effected. Only
those boys who stand we'll in their
studies, and declare their intention
of being in school next year, can be
admitted to membership In the band.
Throughout, the band must be made
help and not hindrance to the
school.
Miss Lindsay has &c enrolled in
her new building, all fourth grade
pupils. Visitors to this grade will
find the work very interesting Miss
Phelps of the fifth grades, has about
sixty. Rollin Smith as assistant, is
dividing his time between the fourth
and fifth grades, making il possible
for the teachers in charge to do far
better and more effective work than
could otherwise be done.
A magazine table and number of
new magazines are recent acquisi-
tons to our High School. Golfers,
McClure's, Post and others which we
do not recall, are daily used by the
students in connection with Miss
Travis morning studies with the
school, on the Russio- j apan war, the
Panama Canal question and other
important matters which are now at
tracing the attention of the world.

Not having enough seats to accom-
modate all whom we would like to
promote, we are finding it necessary
to transfer few whom we can &C.
commodate, on the basis of scholar
ship, putting forward those standing
highest first. As other seats are
made vacant, others will be put for
ward, and SO on as long as we have
seats made vacant, always taking the
highest in scholarship first, until all
who would have been promoted are
put forward 1t is doubtful, how
ever, if all can be accommodated, in
fact, our capacity is now taxed to its
utmost.

For the second time during the
present year, a complaint came tc
us recently from a parent that two
boys had been using obscene Ian
guage in the presence of little girls.
We wish parents to understand clear.
ly that this will not be tolerated at ali
or looked upon with any degree of
allowance whatever. One of these
boys seems to have been guilty to a
greater degree than the other. We
understand that he has quit school.
We hope so. He will not be allowed
TO return. This is a serious matter
The honor and influence of a large
school system is at stake. 1t is bet
ter that dozens such as this bow
should be thrown out of school
than that even one girl should be
subjected to the corrupt influence of
an embryo Iibertine. We trust that
parents will not be surprised il we
deal summsrily and severely with
cases OF this nature. The boy who
dld not return 70 school, doubtless

A Peculiar Accident.

A peculiar accident occurred on the
Huntington and Broad Top railroad, a
few miles above Cumberland, Md, A
loaded coal train was descending the
long grade below Petersburg when
the axle of coal ear broke, wrecklng
II and three other cars. The four
cars jumped the track and went over
an embankment. The rear portion
rejoined the forward portion of the
train at the bottom of the grade, the
automatic couplers joining the train
as II nothing had happened. The crew
was not aware of the accident. Three
miles below three more care were
wrecked. The trackwalker states the
train was coupled together when II
passed him, but the brake rigging was
dragging and this, it is supposed
caused the second accident.

The Greatest Living Orator.

President Eliot is as conspicuous
ly the foremost American orator of this
generation as Wendell Phillips was of
the last, and Webster of the one pre-
ceding. His preeminence marks the
changed temper OF the public, which,
though II may still be spellbound by
revivalists and by political speakers,
nevertheless trusts those who, like
Mr.. Eliot, address its reason and not
Its emotions. After 35 years all class
es are more eager than ever to hear
him. His voice alone, so rich, so cul.
tvated, with its cello notes, sets him
In class by himself. At first, you
may miss the purple patches which
you expect the orator to supply, bat
on acquaintance you discover that he
has the power to state q fact, which
you thought commonplace or value
less, SO that IL shines like a jewel
as If he picked up dull pebble, and
through some hidden virtue in him, 1t
turned to opal or ruby in his hand.
lie never made a speech which you
could not read the next day or the
next year without wondering what had
