SOUTH CANON HIGH
SCHOOL NEWS NOTES

The Junior class opened the COM
mencement festivities by their fare
well reception to the Senior class,
given at the home of Miss Blanche
DeWeese, Monday evening. The spac-
ious lawn aglow with japanese Ian
terms was the scene of the merry
making. where outdoor games of every
description were indulged in, ending
with the May-pole dance.
A Gypsy booth was the center of at
traction for more than an hour, where
Miss Slaught, impersOnating the char
acter of Zingerella, the wonderful
drew aside the mystic curtain and
revealed to them their fate.
At table decorated with the senior
colors, punch was served during the
evening, by the Misses Blanche De
Weese and Fern Armstrong.
Partners for refreshments were OBJ
tanned by each lady and gentleman
following out the written directions
given them by their hostess. Some
times the chase was merry one, and
the salutations coming out of the dark
puzzling, but success crowned their
efforts in the end.
Dainty refreshments consisting of
ice cream and waters were served on
the broad verandas. After refresh
ments, Miss Hazel DeWeese with
sweet graciousness responded again
and again to the numerous requests
to hear her voice in song. The young
people were then invited to visit the
"den" where Mr.. DeWeese delighted
all by giving them an account of some
of his experiences in capturing his
trophies. and as one young nimrod
expressed it, it was better than going
to a circus. Such delightful entertain
ers did Mr. and Mrs. DeWeese and
daughters prove to be, that the
guests were reluctant to leave this
enchanted home until a late hour.
There were sixty present and one
and all voted 1t an evening long to be
remembered because Of 30 many de-
Bghtful associations connected with
It. s

Good Roads Legislation.

Good roads legislation is still hung
up The only bill to pass both houses
so far is the dirt roads bill. 1t is now
before the governor for his signature.
The Hedges rock road bill has pass
ed the senate and was recommended
for passage by the house committee
on roads. The Mitchell rock road bill
has passed the house and was re-
ported afvorably in the senate com
mittee. The Hedges bill provides for
the improvement or rock roads By
small districts. The Mitchell bill
provides for their improvement by
large districts. The two do not con
flict. The senate has killed the bill
taxing automobiles to pay for a state
engineer of good roads. However, it
has passed a separate bill taxing au-
tomobiles and also a separate bill for
a state engineer. Whether the two
brnches will be able to untangle things
and get all the bills through is a
question.

which / read, The voices of the Irish
and while | read it it seemed
to me that / heard the cry of the
dwellers by the forest of Foclut, by
the Western ocean, calling with one
voice to ME, Come and dwell with us!'
My heart was so moved that l awoke,
and l give thanks to my God, who
after many years has given to them
according to their petition"
Thus wrote Patrick in one of his let
tiers preserved in the ancient book of
Armagh, which dates from A. d. eO7.
In a dream he heard the cry of the
dwellers in the forest Of Foclut:
Come and dwell with us!" and his
thoughts carried him back to the days
when he was a captive and slave In
that self-same forest by the Western
ocean.
Patrick himself does not tell us the
details of his stay in France, as he is
hurrying his narrative forward to the
time of his mission to Ireland; but
there is an abundance of very early
testimony in old Gaelic and Latin
which makes it certain that he was
associated with three great men who
at that time dominated the spiritual
life of Gaul. The first of these was
Saint Martin of Tours. native of
Hungary, son of a tribune in the
Roman armies and himself a soldier.
Tradition says that Patricks mother
was the sister, or at least close rela-
tive, of Martin of Tours, though his
fathers family belonged to the north
of Britain, close to the rock of Dunn
barton on the Clyde.
Another great man with whom Pat
rick was associated at this time was
Saint Germanus of AuXerre. Like
Martin, he was of martial origin and
of a bold, warlike spirit.
The third great man of Gaul who in
fluenced Patrick in the years of his
young manhood-he was %, he tells
us. when he fled from slavery in Ire
land-was Honoratus. With his broth
er Venantius this ardent and aspir-
ing soul had set forth to the east, to
give his life to the ascetic devotion
and spiritual seclusion which was the
ideal of eastern Christendom. On his
brothers death he returned and fixed
his abode on a little island of the
Riviera, within two or three miles Of
Cannes. Here. with a group of kindred
spirits, he established one of those lit
tie religious colonies which play so
large a part in early European his
tory, and from which so much that
was purest and noblest in the life of
Europe was destined to come forth.
AS in all these colonies. a church
was built and made the center Of the
life Of the place. The teacher and his
disciples, as always, we're their own
builders. masons and carpenters. Then

Board of Control Bill Killed.

1t is evident there will be no state
board of control for the penal and
charitable institutions this session OF
the legislature. The senate calmly
chopped the head off this administra-
ton measure. which SO many were
sure would pass.
1t went through the house by vote
of 105 to s. There was little protest
raised against the assassination" but
the truth was, the bill had practically
no support. The guns Of the upper
house were loaded with slugs and
when minority report was read and
brought up for adoption, it only re-
ceived ten votes, while there were 27
against it.
When the bill had passed the house
it was taken to the senate and referred
to the committee on penal institutions.
A majority report was read against
the passage of the bill. Senator Ganse
submitted a minority report He did
not ask for the passage of the bill but
only wanted it brought out on the
floor of the senate and discussed But
the senate would not even agree to
discuss it. The action on the part of
the senate shows that this body was
loaded" to kill the bill even before
it had passed the house.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1909-03-12

they added dwellings and places of
study, and soon they were immersed
in life of profound activity, spiritual,
intellectual and physical at the same
time. To the perfect balance, self-sac-
rifice and devotion of this life is due
much of the spiritual power of the
great men who went forth from just
such religious settlements as that of
Honoratus.
To this settlement among the blue
Mediterranean waves Patrick came,
and here he studied for many years.
From his letters we can form some
what precise estimate of what he
read Latin had been his mother
tongue; the tongue, in fact, both OF
his fathers family in the Roman col
ony on the Clyde and of his mothers
people, the family of the tribune in
the Roman armies. But, Patrick tells
us, he had neglected the study of
Latin while he was boy, and had ap-
parently pretty well forgotten 1t dur
ing the six years of his slavery in Ire
land, where, however, he learned to
speak Irish correctly and even elo-
quently, as his intercourse with the
Celtic princes abundantly shows. In
the Isle of Honoratus he took up his
Latin studies once again, and attained
a fair proficiency in the tongue OF
Imperial Rome, as his Latin letters
show His style is rugged, sometimes
obscure, but always forcible, often elo-
quent and with the ring of entire sim
cerity and genuine faith. Patrick then
set himself to read and reread the
sacred books, New Testament and Old
Testament alike, in the very imperfect
Latin versions which preceded the &C
cepted translation of st. Jerome. In
his letters he quotes abundantly from
many books of the Old Testament, as
we'll as the New, and a complete
analysis of these quotations, giving
precise measure of his studies, is
found in the editions of his life.
In this Mediterranean isle Patrick
was within the spiritual province con-
Quered by the great Irenaeus, the dis
eiple of Polycarp, the disciple OF St
John; and it is noteworthy that we
find the followers of COLUMBIA, the
Apostle of Scotland, likewise claiming
spiritual descent from st. John. y
A very interesting fact has been
pointed out by Mrs. Devenish-Meares.
1t is that the chapel of Honoratus, in
which Patrick worshiped during sew
eral years, is dedicated to the Trinity.
and is distinguished INTELLECTUALLY by
a triple apse, three bays in the east
ern end OF the chapel, typifying the
triune godhead. The eastern end OF
the chapel floor and ceiling are, there
fore. in form like a trefoil or sham
rock; and it may well be this familiar
building which suggested to Patrick
the smile of the shamrock to illus
trate the teaching Of the trinity. II
was in this little chapel on the isle
ever since dedicated to st. Honoratus
mat Patrick prepared himself for his
marvellous and fruitful mission to Ire
land

CONGENIAL WORK
And Strength to Perform Ii.

A person in good health is likely
to have a genial disposition, ambition,
and enjoy work.
On the other hand, if the digestive
organs have been upset by wrong
food, work becomes drudgery.
Until recently" writes a Washing
ton girl, 81 was railroad stenog-
rapher, which means full work every
day.
Like many other girls alone in q
large city, lived at boarding house
For breakfast it was mush, greasy
meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
after a few months of this diet 1
used to feel sleepy and heavy in the
mornings. My work seemed ter
rible effort, and thought the work was
to blame-too arduous.
AT home / had heard my father
speak of a young fellow who went
long distances in the cold on Grape
Nuts and cream and nothing more for
breakfast.
Il concluded If it would tide him
over a mornings heavy work, 1t might
help me, so on my way home one
night 1 bought a package and next
morning l had Grape-Nuts and milk
for breakfast.
81 stuck to Grape-Nuts, and in less
than two weeks l noticed improve
ment. 1 can't Just tell how well I
felt, but 1 remember l used to walk
the IL blocks to business and knew
how good it was simply to live.
"As to my work-well, did you ever
feel the delight Of having congenial
work and the strength to perform it?
That's how 1 felt. l truly believe
there's life and vigor in every grain OF
Grape-Nuts."
