SOME FORMER QUEENS

1t is far cry from the year of our
Lord 1911 back to 1875 in Earlham
history, in many ways. And in none
a farther one than in the matter Of
observance of May Day. 1t is neces-
sary to go back thirty-six years to
write lin the beginning" in chronic
ling this festive phase of EarlIlam his
tory. AS far as resemblance goes.
very little kinship indeed would be
recognized between the events of 1875
and 1911, could the old have been
reproduced on the campus this after
noon alongside the new. But the
memories which cluster round the for
mer in the minds of the few partici-
pants who remain, hallow it with that
fond recollection" which increases as
the years come and go and which
more than balances the ambitious
pageantry of the passing show"
The first recognition of May Day in
the good Quaker college in 1875, was
very informal one. The Queen was
Tennessee Tomlinson, of Plainfield,
now Mrs. Nit Phillips of Santa Ana,
California. who contributes some very
interesting "reminiscences of the day,
to which she looks back with pride
and interest. The weather was cold
and disagreeable. Wild flowers were
few and far between, and to secure a
quantity sufficient to give a gala ap-
pearance to the occasion the sacred
precincts of the adjoining cemetery
had to be invaded proceeding which
weighed heavily on the tender con-
sciences of a few Of the demure Quak-
err lasses.
She Sang "DubIin Day."
The exercises, which were held in
the old gymnasium were of semi
public nature only. A hastily and rude
ly constructed platform was improvis-
ed as a. throne, covered with shawls
and table covers. The girls marched
round their fair sovereign and bravely
"courtesied" one of the two maids OF
honor browning her, the other placing
the scepter in her hand. Short, in
formal coronation speeches followed,
the Queen sang Dublin Day"-and it
was the evening and the morning OF
Earlham's first May Day.
More pretentious were the exercis.
es which were held three years later
in 1873. Mrs. Bertha E. Wildman Hick-
man, now of Springfield, Ohio, was
Queen, and was on the grounds today.
She was accompanied by two maids
of honor and twelve attendants, all
in white with wreaths on their arms.
Mrs. Mary Ballard, now the efficient
college registrar, was one of the juve-
nile train bearers on that occasion
The exercises were held in the old ap-
pie orchard, which was in full bloom
arch ways being made between the
rows of trees with tamarack and snow
balls, with pennons of red, white and
blue. The reveiers, in a semi-circle
around the throne, sang a song OF
greeting as the marshal led the Queen
and attendants up the flowery way
The Queen was crowned and the want
of authority presented to her. to the
accompaniment Of these appropriate
words:

By no means unimportant in the
educational work of Nashville is that
Of the colored public schools. These
schools are in excellent condition, and
especially at Knowles School are the
pupils showing to excellent advan-
tage the benefits of impartial superin-
tendence and skilled and careful
training. Not in their books alone
are they making satisfactory prog
regs, but in manual training they are
perhaps better advanced than any
similar school in Nashville. In the
fourth grade this work is particularly
fine, and the picture gives an excel
lent idea of the very artistic work
done in raffia by the pupils of that
grade.
The picture presents full toilet
set, designed and executed by fourth
grade pupils, the set including every
piece, even to the familiar, straggly-
looking toothbrush, regarded as an
adjunct to lady's toilet equipment.
The work is done entirely in raffia,
such as the Indians of the Western
plains now use for the making of
blankets, bowls and other household
and ornamental articles. Besides the
washstand set, the picture shows a

mixing bowl of perfect proportions
and exquisite shapeliness, and be-
side it a ladle, also of raffia and well
designed.
The articles are woven by hand, aft
er the manner of the Indian women,
work which has for some time been
quite pleasing and useful fad among
the white social element of the West
ern cities. For it is we'll known that
basket weaving has become of late
years an accomplishment by no means
confined to the dextrous fingers of
the Indians. However, it is not
usual to find so many uses made for
it, and for this reason also is the work
of the Knowles School pupils OF par
ticular interest.
1t is by no means feat unaccom-
panied by difficult care and artistic
spirit to contrive designs of such size,
and shapeliness, with such unquali-
fed success, and the pupils accom-
plishing this very difficult task have
displayed much artistic ability, as
well as courageous perseverance.
When it is remembered that the
pieces here reproduced are all the
work of first-year pupils the credit is
to them enhanced fourfold.
