"Forget It."

There is a wide and deep philosophy
contained in that phraseology Of the
street.
Forget it,"
1t is as important to forget as to re-
member. One is as difficult as the
other. And ability along the one line
is as hard to acquire as the other.
Both must be cultivated.

mist without learning how to forget

The Monument to Toqo's Victory.

From the earliest time it has been
the custom of nations to celebrate Their
great victories in war by the erection
of arches. monuments. pillars, statues,
tablets, temples, etc, but Japan is to
break the bonds of tradition in its
commemoration of the great sea vic
tory won by Togo and his men over
the Russian fleet. 1t proposes to erect
an enormous lighthouse, of great
height and with a most powerful light.
This splendid tribute to the man who
saved his country in the greatest naval
battle of modern times Will be built on
Okino island in the Sea of Japan, and
it's light will show for ST. miles in all
directions, practically covering the en-
tire scene of the battle it commence
rates. 1t is splendid idea, and is both
characteristic of the practical Japa-
nese and symbolic DC their awakening

American breast at this achievement,
This is what impels him.
And he IS right. The northwest pas-
sage can be Of no use in these DAYS
even supposing it to be discovered
There is no likelihood Of finding new
whaling grounds. The myth of warm
and open solar sea las long since been
destroyed. A great and mysterious
polar continent, inhabited by prehis.o.
ric peCple-the original Garden Of
Eden, as some fantastic minds have
conceived-is an impCssibilty Of ma
ture in that region. And as for scien-
tific knowledge, more than can ever be
gained by cash to the pole has been
slowly but surely gathered through the
years of laborious observation by ex-
plorers in the circumpolar regions.
Nevertheless, IN these pre-eminently
practical days, when commercial re-
suits are the measure of success in
every field of endeavoT, there is some
thing admirable, though strange. in the
devotion of energy and life to one sen
timnntal ideal. II don't suppose there
is any money in it, says Peary.

Nemesis, who treasures up a wrong.
who nurses an injury, who lets ignoblc

happy man. His soul is like a

Learn how to forget.
If it is easier for you to put on record
in your memory personal grievances
and to hug up an ugly feeling it is be-
cause you have chosen t. do so. If
you hoard up in your mind the I'M
happy episodes of life i is because you
have formed the habit Of doing so.
To persist in that habit of mind will
make you miscrabl" and = confirmed
crouch. There is nothing noble in such
disposition to remember.
Learn to forget.
Let so the uninspiring, the depres-
sing and weakening grievance. Hold
onto the memories that cheer AMI
brighten. There IS not room for both.
Wipe out the resentmcnts. Write in
the place of your hatrcds the things
that are pure and just and lovely and
of good report.
Has some one treated you lily or put
slight upon you?
Forget it:
Do not let it spoil your happiness. It
is II trifle light as air. "Scorn to be

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
A Word for the Boy Graduate.
(RiddefOrd JOurnal.)

Now that the sweet girl graduate IS
again occupying the centre OF the
stage it is once more in order for some
body to come forward and say SYM
pathetic word for the ordinary boy
graduate, who undoubtedly feels very
awkward and very much out of his ele-
ment at this moment. But the more
awkward and the more misplaced he
feels, the stronger is likely to be his
determination to prove the stuff there
is in him just as soon as he gets In
some place where he will not be afraid
10 move for fear of falling over his own
feet and where his hands will not feel
so much like prize sugar-cured hams.

Scholarship and Athletics.

In his annual report which is made
public, this week, President Hyde of
Bowdoin college touches upon an inter-
esting and much discussed subject
when he deals with the comparative
rank in scholarship of the college ath-
letes and those who are not members of
the athletic teams. In view of the pop
ular criticism of athletics in college the
results of his investigations are particu-
larly welcome and reassuring. Not
content with looking up Il few cases
here and there, as is sometimes done
and drawing conclusions from them
he has caused tables to be compiled
showing the ranks attained by all stu
dents in Bowdoin in all courses during
the past five years. The first table
shows for each year and each class the
averages of all the ranks attained by
the students who have been members
of the athletic teams during the past
| five years, and the second table gives in
similar manner the averages of the
athletic students during the same
period. The average of all grades Of
all athletes for the five years is us!
and the average of all grades of all
non-atnletes is S0.37. Thus the stu
dents who do not participate in athlet-
les average little higher in rank
than the members of the baseball nine
and tie football eleven, but how
| much less the difference is than
is commonly argued by those
WHO decry the prominence given
to college sports. Whatever the
effect may be elsewhere, President Hyde
athletic activity does not lower the
scholarship standards or materially in
terfcre with regular college work. We
| have no doubt that n similar investiga-
ton would produce similar results al
practically all the colleges of recog-
nized high standing.
In discussing the gratifying result Of
the investigation. President Hyde says:
THE fact that there Is a difference o.
| less than three one hiIndredths in the
| rank of athletes and non-athletes, is
very welcome and satisfactory

doin are not a substitute fol

ciably interfere with scholarship; and

ONE THOUSAND
VISITS LAST week

That the Young Mems Christian As.
sociation is popular resort for men
and boys,is de demonstrated every day by
the large attendance at the building
for various purposes. Last week there
were over thousand visits made to
the Association building.
The entire building was In use con.
stantly, and at times it was fairly over
run with young men. The reading
room, game room and parlor, were IN
use constantly, and the gymnasium
and baths were at times taxed to their
utmost to accommodate the large num-
ber of persons making use of these de-
partments. Glasses are now quite
large, and in some cases take up all
the floor space of the gymnS sium. so
that it will be difficult to find room
for many more on the floor. This is
especially true of the boys class and
the young mems class, and will soon
be the case in the evening class, COM
posed of business men.
The Bible classes are we'll attended,
especially the boys Bible class, which
had an attendance of 1875 last Friday
evening. Iu every department the in.
terest is growing, and the work seems
to be gaining daily in favor with the
people, and is recognized as an institu-
tion Of immense Importance in the
town. There seems to be little doubt
as to the tature of the Association, il
present indications count for any
thing, and the Directors and others in
terested are encouraged at the outlook.
