Pedagogical Pebbles

One more week and then long
vacation.
Our janitor, Carl Mclean, is kept
away by sickness in his home this
week.
Ralph Perkins has been tussling
with the measles of late and has been
absent from school.
The eighth grade finals are over
but the papers are not yet marked so
that we have no report as to the
result
Next week will be used in examina-
tons, promotions and reports so that
this is the last week of actual lessons
and recitations.
Did you attend the entertainment
last Friday EVENING" We are greatly
gratihed at the attendance on that
occasion. The sophomores and those
assisting them did their best as far as
circumstances allowed and we have
been told by many who attended that
they succeeded in pleasing their aud
fence. The receipts were little over
one hundred and twenty dollars.
We have heard that our comments
on the debate at Cottonwood have
caused some to think that we were
crying unfair and dishonest" We
had no such thought and will here
say that we were treated fairly, kindly
and courteously by all. Our debaters
are not sore and have no protest to
make against anyone connected with
the debate from Cottonwood. We,
here in Grangeville, have been crltl-
cized for not insisting on securing
judges from a distance, but as that
would have meant considerable ex-
penSe we were willing to accept some
one near at hand, and we do not wish
in any way to criticize them for their
kindness in conserving to act. How
ever, we know that the judges in our
supreme courts do not always agree
and we have often read Minority
reports and thought we had right
to such a report. We wish to treat
all on the square" and to maintain
only kindly and friendly rivalry in
all our contests.

BISHOP WHO REFUSES TO
GO TO WASHINGTON

Washington, Aug. 19---Twice in
! six months. declining to become the
Episcopalian bishop of Washington,
Bishop Charles II. Brent, of the
Philippine islands, has refused ono
of the most coveted positions that
his church can ever offer him.
Had the bishop felt inclined to
yield to the allurements of the sec
ond call, he would have had Difficult
ty in explaining to the residents of
the Philippines his change of mind
BY coincidence, on the very day,
June II. that the diocese of Wash
ington was for the second time elect
ing Bishop Brent as its bishop, a
morning newspaper in Manila was
printing the explanation to his peo-
pie for declining the call to Wash
ington.
Genuine contentment is a rare
ly beautiful characteristic" said
Bishop Brent. 81 do not mean the
stagnant contentment that succumbs

self of today's opportunities, beat
ing unruly conditions into shape and
at the same time anticipating better
things for tomorrow. We seem to be
hampered by constitutional per-
versity which blinds us TO the mag
nitude OF our present opportunities
and denies contentment much more
than nights lodging in our souls.
It is the forbiddn that seems the
home of opportunity rather than that
which is to be had for the asking.
"Place can never make small
man great. only ridiculous" he con-
tinued. "a big place, place where
the atmosphere is composed OF the
souls of great men who have gone,
must always have to occupy II a
soul as big as II already Is. or bigger
else the throne will become a mock
cry and the papacy a Kissing.
big things and places are where
big causes and men are. We, here,
can make these islands, n few years
ago obscure, unimportant, great for
ever-if we first make ourselves
great by doing our small tasks
greatly and allying ourselves con-
sclously with great causes. Other
wise we shall make them worse than
obscure. Political jugglery, selfish
ness, insincerity and American vice
will make them notorious. We must
apply the best that we are TO our
tasks. That Is the first step"
He explained that II he did leave
the Philippines, It would be on ac-
count OF his health.
"Our lot, yours and mine," he con-
cluded, ''is cast in fair ground. We
are here in the Orient, you and I,
to cling to the ideal life and TO dare
the greatest task the world has ever
set itself-to unite east and west
