wood have constructed the most con-
sistently amusing play that has ever
been produced in America. Between
its succession of surprising situa-

the piece is simply Irresistible
It has a keenly attractive story,
which IS a first-class play IN itself,
and in the telling of it there is the
brightest kind of wit. The situa-
#tions are novel and screamingly
funny. The characters, up-to-date
New Workers, are highly amusing and
are carried into indescribably laugh
able situations, while with the fun
are touches Of sentiment. Indeed,
at the bottom of the comedy are
pretty love stories. What is more,
there is not a suggestion of indel-
.icaey anywhere.

S. j. C. T.. Honor Roll,

For the clear understanding of the
merit which this roll represents, a
few explanatory remarks on the sys.
tenn of awards used at st. Joseph,s S
commercial Institute will not be con
sidered amiss.
! Each student is the creator of his
standing in the class room Realizing
that emulation is the touchstone of
success in students life, the fac
ulty, by means of awards properly
bestowed and dement's justly given,
have succeeded in establishing a
system that claims to interest the
students from the opening day of the
scholastic term.
Each days attendance, supplement-
ed by correct reeitations and excel
lent conduct, entities the student to
l20 merits. Any breach of the rules
Of gentleman1y department, or fault
IN the recitation OF lessons, entails
the loss Of one or more merits.
By means of extras the student
| is enabled to make up for merits lost,
or to accumulate a fund against fu-
ture contingencies. These extras are
allowed for certain vel ll-defined II 81 i

| the required work.
Thus it may readily be seen how a
student may fall below the 1G0 per
cent mark for one or several weeks,
and yet by extraordinary endeavors
attain the requisite marking to en-
Etitle him to first honors in his de-
partment.
