The Fate of ain Easter Bonnet.
On the Wednesday preceding Eas-
ter Anne Ruthless went to the city,
for she lived in the suburbs, to Sc
lect her Easter bonnet To Madame
LaRue at once she went, for Ma
dame always had such a lovely as
sortment just from Paris. There
were all shapes, styles and trimmings
perfect dreams
Anne was the only child of indul.
gent parents, and Madame knew well
how to humor her, She permitted
Anne to try on as many hats as
she desired, knowing in the end she
would select an expensive one. and
Madame was right, After numerous
lefforts to determine which was the
prettiest and most becoming. she de-
cided on the dearest creation OF
millinery.
Anne awaited her car with unusual
Impotence, meantime planning her
actions for Sunday. How all the
girls would stare at and envy her
as she walked into church on Sun
day morning, head in air, with her
new silk dress and elegant hat.
But alas, .the best laid plans OF
mice and men gang aft aglee." Up
on her arrival home she opened the
box containing the hat and showed
it to her mother, who viewed it
with ecstacy. She put it back in the
box and left it in the sitting reem,
where any enc coming in might see
and comment upon it.
From Wednesday night ON, the
hat was left In its box IN the sit.

pered about 1t; 1t was the talk OF
the town, much to Anne's delight

The Value of Latin In a High school.

The Value OF LariH IN High School.
Now that the cry for practical sub
jeets in our high schools is so much
in vogue, the tendency Is to do
away entirely with some Of cur best
mind training and culture-training
subjects. The one to which I wish to
call your attention is Latin. Let us
consider for. moment few of the
advantages derived from it's study.
Think how many of our English
words are of Latin origin.t Take for
example the Latin word 'duco'' or
tducre,'' Ito lead, carry, draw !;
from this word We derive "deduce,
produce, induce, reduce, conduct,
#aqueduct, education and many other
words. A great number OF our pre-
fixes likewise come from the Latin.
So, if a pupil is familiar with the
latter, he will understand and can
appreciate the different shades OF
meaning brought out by these various
derivatives of the word tsduco." And
so it is with thousands of other
words.
We cannot deny, too, that the study
Of Latin grammar aids us to a GER
tain extent in our study of English
grammar. Some pupils even claim
they do not know English grammar
until they have studied the Latin.
The latter serves to give thorough
drill in the "whys and wherefores' OF
grammatical principles. OF course
the pupil gets these from his study
OF English grammar, but he does not
become master of the same until he
has had to apply them in some such
study as that Of Latin.
Are we going to disregard the cul-
tura1 value of Latin? Are not some
of our greatest classics written in
Latin? You may say these have been
translated time and time again. but
we all recognize the fact that 4
translation never carries the same
force, nor does it convey quite the
same idea, as the original produc-
tom
Moreover, the Latin forms a good
foundation for the study of our mod
ern languages, such as French, Span
ish and Italian, these having sprung
from the former. With a good knpWl:
edge Of Latin pupil can readily
master the others.
Again, do not great many of our
boys and girls expect to carry their
education farther and go to college?
Very few of our colleges, as we
know, will accept graduates who have
no knowledge of Latin, Would they
place the entrance requirements II
higher authorities and people who
have studied out these problems did
not deem the subject of such great
importance?
Are not large number of our
boys going to enter some profession!
What profession does not require q
knowledge of Latin
There are numerous other argu
ments II favor al. Latin in higI
schools. But are not just these few
considerations enough to justify Vi
in keeping Latin in our curriculum:
Should we not consider with reluc
lance its being dropped from oul
course of study?
