The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1906-06-25
Bachelor Man whitcher.

In the earlier days of the fame OF the
poet Whittier, when already his name
was widely known and honored, but
did not yet command the almost uni
versai recognition 1t had won In bis old
age, visitor to Amesbury occasionally
had difficulty In finding where he lived.
His house was In an out of the way
part OF the town, and his name'-pro-
nounced by the country folk In two
syllables instead OF three-was NOT un-
common In tho neighborhood. 1t Is re~
lated that one admlrer, after much
search and many failures made inqui-
ries Of rural gentleman of venerable
appearance, who seemed to take Il
kindly interest In satisfying the que
rist, but suggested successlvely the
dwellings Of several Whlttlers, who
proved on further description not 10 be
the one. At length the old fellow re-
membered with sudden enlightenment
that there was one Whittier more, and,
slapping his thigh, he drawled with de-
llberate triumph:
snow I've got him sure. You mean
that old bachelor man that lives with
an old maid sister daown by the mills.
He's Whltcher too"
And this "Whltcher,"a a desplsed bach
elor and an afterthought, was indeed
the right one.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1906-06-25

A generation ago the education OF a
college man confined itself almost en-.
tirely, to study of Latin, Greek, phi
losophy and metaphysics, while ltow
the study of history, economics and
other subjects Of practical bearing
predomlnates. Interest In the CLASSICAL
languages has now largely abatrd,
even with persons who make a study
of them. The student was formerly
supposed to get his training from Greek
and Latin; English he studied inci-
dentally. Now the study OF English Is
predominant In the American colleges.
This should not be considered, how
ever, as n disparagement Of the prog
ress Of American culture. 1t should be
remembered that the Greeks thern-
