How to Tell a Good School.

HOW 70 ell GoOo SCHOOL,
Even more indicative of the inner
fpirit of school, however, are the lit
tie indications given by the talk of
boys at home on their vacations, says
Appleton's Magazine. Don't make the
mistake of believing what they tell
you about the lessons, or the food, or
even the prowess Of the football team.
A boy Is an inveterate generalizer and,
moreover, you are quite likely to mis-
understand his Technology. He will
tell you that the food is rotten"
that the milk is always sour, that Mr..
So-and-so is fearful soak" and
gives out a hundred lines of Virgil to
a lesson right straight along, and that
the football team has never been
beaten; all of which will only mean
that sometimes it has happened that
the food was not above criticism,
the milk was sour. Mr.. So-and-so gave
out a long lesson, and the football
team has won. No, don't try to pump
him about the school, but just notice
how he talks Of 1t, and of the masters.
If he fires up when you suggest that
there Is anything to criticise in 1t. If
he speaks Of this or that master with
gentle suggestion of affection in his
voice, and more especially IL he does
not try to entertain you with stories
OF how this or that boy beat out" this
or that master, then the chances are
that he goes to a good school.

II the world had not passed beyond
the age Of myth-making, the disaster
in southern Italy would be ascribed to
the turning of Enceladus in his sleep.
Enceladus was one of the giants who
rebelled against Jupiter. He was killed
by one of Jupiter's thunderbolts, ac-
cording to Virgil, and buried under
Mount Etna. When he turns in his
grave the earth Quakes, and when he
breathes the mountain belches forth
fire and smoke. 1t was the peculiar
geographical and geological formations
round Sicily and the Strait of Messina
that gave rise to many of the ancient
myths. The rock Of Scylla, dangerous
to navigators, was believed to be the
home of a monster which seized the
sailors from the decks of the ships
that passed too near. The whirlpool
of Charybdis, across the strait, was
said to be caused by another monster
which swallowed the sea and spewed
1t out again three times a day. The
Sirens lived on an island In the neigh
borhood and charmed sailors to their
destruction. They were finally foiled
by Odysseus. who closed the ears of
his sailors with wax and had himself
lashed@to' the mast Of his ship. So
chagrined were the three sisters that
they threw themselves into the sea,
and were transformed into rocky is
lands which bear their names.
