Captain Hambelton's Hobby

EVERY Transatlantic Captain has a hobby varying
- from the raising of goldfish 20 the maintenance
Of a first class choir made out OF the crew. Some
shippers have one hobby for their spare moments at
sea and another for their leisure ashore.
Captain Hambeton of the Celtic IS enthusiastic
over the science of teaching children the proper use

In the May number of The Delin

results.
Glimpses of 1.-The Funny Side Of In

the red men of the Northwest. Roy

AN IDEAL SUNDAY NEWSPAPER.

Recent issues of The Sunday Record
Herald remind one that Chicago may
fairly lay claim to producing the best
newspapers in the world, not except
ing those of New York. The Sunday
Record Herald, in foreign news alone,
has it's own special cable service IN ad-
dition to those of the New York Her.
aid. World, journal of Commerce and
Associated Press. This is fair ex-
ample of the completeness OF the paper
in every department.
Aside from the regular news features
there is something in The Sunday
Record Herald for every member OF the
family The special articles by William
T.. Curtis and Walter Wellman are
always interesting. The sporting sec
ton offers four whole pages of fresh
and authentic news in every line OF
sports The woman's section is filled
with illustrated articles on the latest
wrinkles in fashion and domestic
science, with Marion Harland and
Nine. Qui Vive as regular contributor S,
and Dame Curtsey's Novelties In En-
tertainment' as a valued feature. The
dramatic page, written by James
O'Donnell Bennett, is admittedly with
out an equal in the West. The array
of splendid special articles by skilled
writers, finely illustrated, also is typi-
ical of the high literary quality of The
Record Herald. In the way of humor
there is the comic colored supplement
for children, besides Richard Ii. Little's
laughable articles for adults and s. q.
Kiser's delightful Alternating Cur
rents for everybody.
But the thing that lifts The Sunday
Record II erald most I'm p h a t c a IL y
above all it's rivals is it's magazine Sec
ton. There is nothing else that can
touch this in American journalism.
The Sunday Magazine of The Record
Herald is a real magazine, full of
stories and articles by the most famous
writer's of our day, illustrated by cele-
brated artists In quality and beauty
it compares favorably with the best
monthlies. No wonder The Record
Herald is regarded as the ideal Sum
day newspaper!

We are endeavoring to arrange the
Literature work of the upper grades
by dividing the school year into three
divisions giving three months each to
the study of Standard Novels, Essays,
and Poetry We feel that if student
leaves school at the end of the first
wear and all that he has had for the
school year is Essays, for example, he
has the idea that this is all there is to
reading and leaves school with an ex-
tremely narrow view as to what consti-
tutes real Literature. Now by follow
ing the above plan we further believe
that even if he is compelled to remain
out at the close of his Freshman year,
he has at least had three month in
sight into each of the three divisions
and has formed taste whereby he
may be able to continue for himself.
We follow definite systematized plan
for each and we dare say that anyone
would be at liberty to name any pupil,
with possibly one or two exceptions,
who has had the above work and this
pupil would be able after reading to
classify either Essays or Novels Poetry
we are now studying) in the simpler
form and state what each attempts to
teach. If this pupil remains in the
school for years, you see he graduates
with a twelve months connected course
in Literature alone and should be able
not only to discuss the subject intel
ligently but be able to write sensible
composition basing his argument upon
thought and clean cut judgement.
