this word was misspelled more in
teachers examinations than any other.
Il mention this incident as it was
characteristic of her methods. Another
time, at the beginning of the class she
said in a matter-of- fact, but impress
sive tone: In New York city on June
9. at noon'-then she stopped when we
were all attention She said that in
writing an grafton a great point was
to write it so as to gain the interest
of the audience at the start, and ex-
planned that a sentence beginning like
her quotation was effective She re-
minded us that we had been anxiouSly
listening for what was coming next. In
like manner did she drill her classes. [
think great deal of B. us success in
winning debates with other schools
was due to Mrs. Porter as well as to
the oratorical professor-Prof. Wolf, I
think is his name.
THE English class was something
for me to look forward to. The stud
ents of that class were all exception
ally congenial
"And in writing about Baker, it
would be strange not to speak of Prof.
VIM. Markham, who has been with
the school for many years He taught
our Latin class, expounding Horace's
odes, etc. He was remarkably brilliant
in bringing out the beauty of the
thought of the poems, as well as ex-
planning the grammar and the con-
struction of the Latin sentences.
IF a student took interest in his
work. Professor Markham was espe-
cially kind to him, but if he did not-he
had as sarcastic a tongue as I ever
heard. One day while he had left the
class room, one of the students who
was rather wild, began to throw his
hat around. The hat nearly hit the
professor in the stomach as he re-
entered the class room. However, he
merely said: Trying to sustain your
reputation?'
And as the question was asked in
the most cutting tone imaginable and
the student to whom it was addressed
was noted for his bad breaks, the class
snorted until the offender turned and
stammered: 'Y-y-ye-es sir Bill
Black.
