the subject:
I'm THE NORTHLAND."
On the northeastern coast of Canada
in the land of ice and snow, is Labra

rocks rise into shary cliffs, sometime;
extending twenty miles out to sea
where many ship is dashed to piece

Miss Elizabeth Theresa Friei.

Miss Elizabeth Theresa Friel of Wa
terviIle said in part on "The Exponent
of True Charity"
Ills not enough that we with sorrow
sigh
That we the wants of pleading man sup
ply.
That we in sympathy with sufferers feel.
Nor hear a grief without wish to heal
Not these suffice: to sickness, pain and
woe.
rhe Christian spirit loves with aid to go.
Will not be sought, waits not for want to
plead,
But seeks the duty,-nay prevents the
need.
Her utmost aid to every i'll applies.
Such was the Christian spirit of
frederick Ozanam, the exponent OF
rue charity The chronicle of his out
er life is singularly simple; the great
vents were all of the inner life-of the
motions or intellect. The lack of bal
lance underlying the eccentricities, the
%oiblcs, the weaknesses of many men of
genius, had no part in that noble, we'll
eoiscd nature.
Born in 1913, in the city Of Milan,
Italy, Frederick OZanam passed his
charity and humility, unconsciously as
;iinilating at an early age, those noble
virtues. The special gift of charity.
that essence of perfection, seems to
have shown itself early.
His early education was under the
guidance of his parents, whose lessons
we're so simple, so clear. so admirably
;uited to his comprehension, as to be
real delight to him and to influence
his whole life. Later. he studied I'M

made him a power over young peo-
pie and it was the influence of this
,ble master that decided the course OF
OZanam's mind.
At an age when the steadiest boys
are thinking chiefly of their stnuse-
ments, Frederick OZanam was brood
ing over the miseries and wants of his
time. 1--WE must do something but
what must we do7' was his constant
cry This anxiety as to his vocation
disturbed him greatly and was made
a matter of ardent prayer. He realiz

life, that every man has his work APP

Providence and that though we ar,

not free to escape the consequence Of
our rejection. 1t was immaterial +.

His one anxiety was to be where Goo
wished him to be.
About this time there existed II

OZanam, the recognized leader of tn,

later to win him such brilliant tri

Donald HeaFu White.

The first speaker was Donald Head
White of Waterville. "School Life an6
the Development of Good Taste."' He
said in part:
SCHOOL LIFE AND THE DEVELOP.
MENT OF GOOD TASTE.
1t is the duty of every preparatory
school to impress upon its students
the necessity of acquiring good taste
Good taste is the power to judge cor
rectly any work of art or literature
Tho chief advantage in possessing it is
the. increased pleasure in living which
it gives.
While in many cases it may be in
stinctive yet we believe that it may
be acquired by every person.
Cue of the most important ways OF
developing good taste is through the
reading of the masterpieces of litera-
ture. So few works come under this
head that every school library should
contain these books.
AS training in art, schools are
striving to perfect the artistic sur
rourdings of the students,-that is. the
architecture of the buildings, the deco
ration of the walls, the selecting OF
pictures. etc, are all looked after more
carefully.
A study of the history and the forms
of music should be a part of every
schools regular course.
The student should attend whatever
plays of worth he may be able to see
What is the need of good taste? l.
is the duty of every person to build NJ
civilization and we believe this appre
citation of the beautiful is an import
ant step in this direction.

In a Mexican Jungle.

From the Outing Magazine.
 For four or five miles our road passed through a marsh, and for mile our horses splashed stirrup deep in water. Then we reached the first rise of the foothills and tropical growth dense and high, closed in upon us and shut out the last breath of air that in the open marsh below had famed our cheeks and in some degree made tolerable the burning intensity of the monday sun.
 Stately palms and gigantic ferns with luxurian tropical undergrowth, made im- penetrabe the jungle that lined our road. Marvellous Towering vines that entwined themselves in the forest trees, blooming shrubs with here and there beautiful orchids, and masses of wild honeysuckle, gave a setting of gorgeous color and charged the atmosphere with delicious perfume. Brilliant plumaged parrots and parrakeets screamed overhead, ugly look ing lizards scurried out of our path, 8 grass green snake coiled around the naked trunk of a tree, high up in air swayed his head back and forth in de- fiance and an unseen animal crashed away into the jungle as we approached It was very wonderful to me and ex- perienced a strange sensation Of having lived through all this before, in some far away, mystic past, just beyond any positive remembrance. It was like a dream that one tries vainly to recall "a sleep and forgetting" Perhaps 1t was only the impression made upon my mind by pictures that l had seen in early childhood.
 Neither Randall nor I had been in saddle for over 20 years and we hailed with joy the Indian village of l.ibertad. the first settlement that we reached when we rode into 1t at o'clock in the afternoon. for here 1t was decided that we should rest ourselves and our horses for an hour and eat some lunch con.
