Attenuon-an Indispensable Factor in
success, was the subject of The talk
given by Miss A. Heckart before the stu
dents, after the reading of the points
Monday morning. Graphic descriptions of
the attentive and the distracted school
girl served by contrast to emphasize the
distinction between these two types and
a prospective glance taken at the prob
aple future that their respective courses
VIII realize for each, tended TO make the
discussion concrete and effective. While
there is a degree of timidity and a lack
OF assurance still apparent in these at
tempts at e8tempore speaking, the exer-
else is nevertheless profitable even to
tnOse who merely listen, for the measure
OF success achieved by each in turn is
spur and an encouragement to the rest.
Inc appreciation Of the work accorded by
the audience on each occasion thus far
Is also esteemed as an inspriting ele-
ment IN the nerve-trying ordeal.
Following the speech on the Monday
program, She elocutiOn class was repre-
scented blythe Misses NJ. McDonough. L.
White, l. Broyles and r. Whatley, who
gave the first scene of the play, Julius
caesar, the first two named taking the
parts OF Marceilus and Flayius respec-
lively, and the others those of the cit
liens. The Misses White and w hatley
also gave the dialogue between Rrutus
and Cassius in the second scene While
a gOOdly share of time and effort has
been devoted to these studies by the
young ladies, they all feel that they have
only begun 10 glimpse the possibilities of
a true dramatic reading of the great
bard lines, which unmeasured efforts in
the future may perchance more nearly
approach.
The first of a series of class recitals
by the students of the music department
was given by the girls of the highest
classes Wednesday afternoon at O'Clock.
The usual academy audience was in
creased by large number of invited

Of these classes are aiming not at the
most snowy or popular, but at the very
best in their beloved art; and the style
and manner of Interpretation as evil
denced by each one would tend to con-
firm the same impression. While there
was an individuality about each piece,
all were rendered with such excellence
that special mention could scarcely be
made of any one in particular. The fol-
lowing program was rendered:

The entertainment schedule for March
seems to be unusually we'll filled. which,
with the fact that Holy Week and the
joyful Eastertide come towards the close
of the month. promises to make it's weeks
pass more quickly than usual. The next
treat in store for the pupils is the recital
which Miss Babcock will give in the as
sembly room the afternoon of Wednes-
day. This will be the happy fulfillment
of pleasant anticipatiOns cherished by
the many admirers which Miss BabcOck
won by her readings for the students in
December. Her subject on this occasion
will be "a Tale of Two Cities"
