WILL FIGHT ID END,
 SAYS ENGLISH KING
Stirring Scene When Monarch
 Signs Home Rule Bill.

"We are fighting for a worthy pur pose. and we will not lay down our arms until this purpose is achieved"
 These ringing words are part of the speech of King George in the house of lords proroguing parliament
 The speech of the king was devoted solely to the war and to the part which England is playing in the titanic struggle against Germany and Austria.
 Every endeavor was made by the British government to maintain the peace of Europe, declared King George. and, in his own words, Great Britain went to war for the protection of pub lie law in England and because trea- ties had been set at naught." ei
 The royal speech was greeted with thunderous cheers from members of all parties, especially when an appeal was made to the patriotism of the nation.
 The kings speech was read by Wis count Haldane, the lord high chancel- Tor, because the king was inspecting the troops who were going to the front
 When the announcement was made in the house of lords that the royal as sent had been given to the Irish home rule and the Welsh church disestablish ment suspensory bill and to number of emergency measures cheers were given for the passing of the Irish and Welsh bills. -+5 ..
 As the members filed out of the chamber Will Crooks, the labor leader. cried out, God save Irelandr'
 John Redmond, the Irish Nationalist leader. replied. God save Englandr'
 King Georges signature was later attached to the home rule bill. but 1t will not become operative until the war ends.

Inat snorat of Cracks.

No greater gift could be mace Co our modern world than the rediSeovery of the Greek physical supremacy. The secret of the method by which for one brief period they realized perfection was long since lost, no oue knows BOW.
 At present so little do We understand the principles of training which guid- cd the Greek in his games, in his bat- ties and his dances and mude the pro portions of his figures different from ours of today that Greek sculpture is in reality puzzle to us. Certain pastures fixed by the Greek sculptor seem to us contortions, bordering on physical impossibilities. There is aL ways a terrific controversy oser the restoration of Greek sculpture, and even then the arms and heads and legs we supply never look right.
 All this because we do not under stand the principles by which the Greek ordered the movements of his body. It was a great secret of bodily coordination, and the secret has been lost and with 1t the ability thoroughly to understand Greek art.-New York Times.

"The school year." he writes, twas d. vided Into halves. From Lady day to All Saints day the bours of attend ance were from 6 o'clock in the morn- ing till II, the dinner hour. Tn the afternoon the boys studied from 12:45 till o'clock. Prayers were recited at the beginning and close of the day. If holy day occurred in the week it was a play day, but usually the weekly day for games was Thursday One custom then begun is still observed. - . At the earnest request and great entreaty of some man of honor, of great worship, credit or authority an extra holiday was granted to the boys. The judges of assize, when visiting Shrewsbury. are still accustomed to ask for and obtain this West minister Gazette. /

Emsr.on a. a vooalist.

As student at Harvard Ralph Wal do Emerson dii not give much prom ise of his future greatness. His dis sertation w6s spoken of as "a very good one, but too long to give much pleasure to the hearers" He was class poet. but only after seven others had been succeesively elected and had sue cessively declined the honor. A story told by A.thur stanwood Pier in AThe Story of Harvard" goes to show that Emerson's musical efforts were even less appreciated.
 Singing in the yard was a popular diversion, and early in his freshman year Emerson, wishing to have a share in the fun, went to the singing master, who said to him, Chord"
 ''So I made some kind of a noise," said Emerson, "and the singing master said: That will do, sir. You need not come again."
