Graduates Experience.

a graduate OF the 9Os who was re-
Vising the college not long ago told
some Of his experiences which were
new TO a later generation.
He was a New Yorker who knew as
much of-the inner workings OF a district
school as he did cf the domestic life Of
a hippopotamus. But his nerve was
good and he needed the money, so when
the head OF the Greea department ask
Cd him il he thought OF teaching school
he replied that be dl1.
A little correspondence got him the
joD, and a Saturday night In December
found him dumped at a flag station on
the Concord and ClaIemOnt branch of
the Boston and Maine railroad Call the
place Smithville, FOR IL was vile
and most of its population was Smith.
Twice a day d train-frelght~ with
combination baggage and smoker and a
passenger car-p6sssd slowly by IN
e.ther direction. These trains could be
stopped BY setting a signal. and would
leave a passenger when one came, but
there was no station, and in fact not
q house in sight. Later he learned that
the 5Ostoffice was three miles away.
The forlorn student waited and finally
a passerby told him where to ind the
house ne sought. He had been told that
there we're two houses where he could
board, one which sent three children 10
his school and one which took none.
He chose the latter. although il was
three-ouarters Of g. mile away and
meant a dinueT-pau luncheon and q
morning and afternoon walk.

AL He Knew.

That was Saturday night. The next
day was spent in fear and trembling If
not IN fasting and prayer. The one
lone thing he had really learned about
running a district school was that it
was customary TO open it with Bible
reading and the Lords prayer.
Promptly at o'clock Monday he faced
his school for the first time, There were
about thirty Of them. the youngest four
or five. the oldest something over
tvventy-oue, but not very keen intellect
ually. Two or three boys OF seventeen
or eighteen were the most dangerous
looking, for the teacher was only seven
teen.
AN unusual thing in a. school Of that
size was that there were no girls older
than twelve o. fourteen part OF
the school was made up Of the children
of one family in a nearby district. Their
father was paid by the town to drive
them to school every day. He never did,
and even the youngest, six years old,
walked the two miles O. staye1 home.
An effOTt TO get through the devotional
exert zes by having each child read
verse OF the New Testament was tried
ouIv the first day. II took too long

easier. If anything that went too fast

Arranging Glasses.

The next problem-of arranging
ella assesZwas real one, but it was
solved in this way. Each child was
summoned in turn. questioned as TO his
educational limits. and then grouped
roughly with others who were IN the
same reader or had gone through
fractions
There were fifteen or twenty classes
to be heard daily, usually OF four or
FIVE and TO this day the New Yorker
wonders II any one I'm that school ever
really learned anything. He did hear
that two or three Of his pupils spoke
we'll OF him as teacher. but that
might have been because his discipline
was lax.
Understanding country ways was one
OF the difficulties The teacher had been
born iu the country and had spent his
summers there but lac found out that
there was d lot he didn't know.

WERE SLIM THEN
Big Boy Pupils a Problem, Also
Boarding Round.

In the last issue Of the Monthly, pub
hshed FOX the graduates of Dartmouth.
is an article by Judge David Cross of
tho class OF 1871. IN it he recalls that in
his day in college The winter vacation
was fourteen weeks. Now it is two.
Why the change?
Chief reason of all is that the college
undergraduate no longer sets out in
November or December to teach a term
Of winter school aoping to return in
three months or 80 with anywhere from
80 to $50 for his three months work
Even fifteen years ago the winter va
cation was four weeks and from one
third TO one-haIf Of the sophomore class
and smaller numbers OF the other
classes missed eight or ten weeks Of
reCitaticus which had to be made up
10y the summer vacation
All that is changed now and for more
than one reason.~For one thing, perhaps
fewer students have to pay their way
through college. At any rate those who
do turn to smme. work When II
was in college not many summer hotels
offered a student q chance TO come back
after busy season, sometimes with 500
In tips and pay. Summer baseball was
not then known
District Schools Closing.
Another factor is the gradual closing
of the out Of the way district schools.
1t is often cheaper an6 always better
for the township TO pay q man 10 bring
to town the half a dozen children who
make up the population Of a back dis
tTiCt than TO hire ( teacher for them.
In this college town twenty years ago
the annual agitation over school begin
early in November Few fTeShn IN
went out, but among the sOphOmOraS
the comInonest question was, Com mt

The first public move would be a sign
announcing that Smith and Jones.
usually seniors or juniors. were cOndU tt
ing a teachers agency in room --,
- Hall How they got wind Of the
was something OF a puzzle. but the
popular idea was that they wrote TO
school boards throughout Vermont and
New Hampshire, hired out In the name
of one OF the other and then contracted
an injury that made it necessary to
send substitute.
OFTEN, however, the offer Of q chance
to teach would come from member OF
the faculty to whom the school board
well recommended man teacher" That
word man explains the college stu
dents chance to teach. A young WO-
man OF the neighbOThOod might do for
the fall and spring terms when the
big boys were needed In the fields, but
the winter term, when youths Of twenty
or more demanded a finishing touch %
their education, called for mile
