SCHOOL BUILDINGS PLANNED BY
BOY ARCHITECTS

All the details of a $4,000 arts
building recently built in Los Ange-
les were planned by a class of six
boys during their final year in the
architectural course of the Polytech-
mic High School in that city. This
building forms a part of the high
school group. The general plan was
laid out by the head Of the architec-
tural department. and then the boys
were turned loose on the job to work
out the details. How we'll they did
their work is shown by the result
ing structure, which stands as con-
vincing argument in favor Of the
modern educational method that
brings the practical daily work Of q
trade or profession into the class
room. Several views of the building
appear in the February Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

So on Wednesday, the iith, school

for the classes before chapel and
the day given over for this purpose.
The chapel service was extended
and President Frost spent the period
in reviewing Berea's remarkable
history, the romantic story Of her
founding by Mr.. Fee: Of the hard
ships and difficulties encountered,
OF the small promise and great
faith. President Frost took each OF
the men. individually, who played a
part in starting our great institu-

became friends Of Berea and OF their
various contributions. He told OF his
meeting Doctor pearsons the first
time, OF the Doctors first visit TO
Berea, and Of the generous response
which followed this visit. The ad-

development.

Prof. Levant Dodge as presiding Of

advancing of the cause of the G. A.
n. and the interests Of the old SOL
diers and he expressed himself only
as an old soldier can when address
ing his comrades on matter so near
their hearts.
After Professor Dodge's speech,
Professor Rigby sang THE Recess
sional" by Rudyard Kipling, a piece
which vibrates with the splendors
of war and conquest and yet main-
tanning a sense Of awe and rever-
lence for the great Almighty, who
stands above the reign Of human car
mage and still holds sway, as He did
i'm the Civil War and as he does in
the present great war.
President Frost spoke on "The Tri-

the splendid military genius, the
polished Southern gentleman, at the
outbreak Of the war confronted the
problem of (which wayg" The
North, representing the call Of his
country, beckoned him to her side,

lchose the latter. All his splendid
talent went TO the confederate cause
without which, as President Frost
said. the war would never have last
ed as long as it did. He showed
noblest in defeat. And that defeat
lmeant good TO Lee and all his fol-
lowers.

President with that famous song

After Mrs. Hanson's paper Pro-

Trees That Keep Weather Records

In cutting up logs for experimental
purposes at the Madison (Wis) lab
oratory Of the United States forest
service it was noticed that in a num-
Der of them there were little diagonal
streaks. or wrinkles, running across
the grain, and that these appeared en-
tirely on the same side Of the trees. It
was we'll known that these wrinkles in
dicated compression failures, such as
result from too great a strain on the
fiber at some time, either from bend
ing in storm or from rough handling;
but as all Of the logs in question came
from the same locality in Florida, and
the markings were all on the north
side Of the log, it was assumed that
they were caused by some severe storm
from the south that had swept over
that part Of the country. BY carefully
counting the annual rings Of wood, and
knowing when the trees were cut, It
was decided that the storm recorded by
the wrinkles must have occurred in the
year 1895; and inquiries verified the
fact that at that time hurricane had
swept over that region.

Kent's Hill Seminay is 81 years old

1892 to 1880. DR.. Henry p. Torsey
was president, says the Journal of
Education editorially. Those were
the great days of Kent's Hill, and
he was a great man in Maine, as we'll
as at Kent's Hill, for the Is years be-
fore the Civil War, and for nearly IS

of two memorable moments at kent's
Hill Lee had surrendered at Apo
mattox, and DR.. Torsey rose to the
occasion at chapel. What a moment
was that. 1t seemed but a day be-
lore President Lincoln was shot, and
think there never can have been
such another moment as when DR.
Torsey stood before us at chapel the
next morning.
But my memory of him is not pri-
Iaarily nor most wildly associated
with the platform mastery and gran
deur of the man. He needed an occa-
sion to make him eloquent.

little influenced by the war Apart
from Lord Kitcheners Garter which

with a more or less equal distribution
OF party rewards.
The peerages granted to Sir Francis
Berthe, who helped turn the entente
with France into a practical alliance,
and to Sir Kenneth Mackenzie, secre-
tary to the Lord Chancellor, crown
distinguished careers in the public
service. But in the minor honors, six
members of parliament who are
equally divided between the conserva-
tive and liberal parties are selected.

Money are leaders Of the Liberal
party, while Sir Gilbert Parker and

American women has made its success

just before the outbreak of the war, but

think the women Of England were ready
for so novel and radical a change From
the tight skirts Of the last few seasons.
to a skirt six yards around is about. as
revolutionary a change as is possible.
Why couldn't the fashion makers have
stopped about half way? The change
will be acceptable to manufacturer and
merchant, but, as a London costumer
points out. 1t will fall hard upon many
women who because Of the financial
stress Of the war hoped to make last
years dresses serve for this spring and
summer. Why not do SO, anyway?

In days when Britain needed men,

And pressed into the fight.

Emblazoned In the sun.
And followed by her sons of war
Until the task Is done.
Ye sons Of Scotia, take your stand.
For freedom, clutch the mighty steel
And crush a despot's iron heel.
In days when Britain needed men.
To hold for truth and right.
The British heart leaped forth again
To strike with all its might.
Shall any say that Britain's lost
The iron from her soul,
Or fears the trial and the cost,
Or cen the last great toll?
Ye sons of Erin. take your stand,
For God, and home, and native land;
For freedom, clutch the mighty steel
And crush a despot's iron heel.
In days when Britain needed heart
To meet the running tide,
She found the ships. the men-the chart
And flung them far ana wide.
Her shouts were freedoms vital breath,
And now a world awaits
A despots fatal stroke of death
The bursting of his gates.
Ye sons of Cambria, take your stand.
For God, and home, and native land:
For freedom. clutch the mighty steel
And crush a despot's mighty heel.
All Britain's sons Of ev'ry cline,
OF colors, race and kin.
Arise to meet the tide of crime
To slay the Man of Sin.
Her sons are gath'ring from afar.
From ev'ry tide and plain,
Who will not sheath the sword Of war
Until the tyrant's slain.
Ye sons Of Britain, take your stand.
For God and home, and native land:
A world awaits you take the steel
And crush a despot's iron heel.
