THE ILL-FATED EAsTLAND.

written for The Journal.)
Now the mighty steamer Eastland,
Takes her trip TO Davy Jones
What q grim gigantic murderer,
Tearing thousands from their homes.
Once q year our mighty steamers,
Those we think 50 safe and sound,
Show as by their lofty manners,
How they're going TO seek and drown.
Money always is the Master,
OF the things we should condemn
Try to make it q little faster,
Push a little on the pen.
Perhaps little wreath Of foyers,
Of the, ones we held 30 dear,
Now so many suffering hours
That we hold ourselves in fear
Families who are separated,
By the lands, and mighty seas
Wonder if from loved ones parted,
By this wholesale massacre.

clear nights since August 9Th. About
los meteors were noetd and tabulat-
ed on that occasion.
The August shower is known as the
Perseids, because it has its radiant
from the constellation Of Perseus
and attains its maximum on the night
of August 18th. However as the
heavens were yelled BY clouds on that
night, the observations were taken
on the following evening, and all
present said IL was all occasion long
to be remembered.

PUBLIC SPEAKING
IN THE SCHOOL.

The following is from an address
delivered yesterday by Forrest Bailey,
of the Normal Arts High School, Los
Angeles, CAL, before the National
Council of Teachers Of English:
g Public speaking, if it is to claim a
place in. the reconstructed English
course, must do 50 in conformity
with the present insistent demand for
what is practical"
The public speaking that is meant
is the oral presentation before an
audience of ideas relating to public
affairs. -
The practical" nature of this form
of exercise in high schools will be rec
ognized, if we agree that skill in the
uses of language is one of. the most
important things to strive for in the
English course. In particular, some
Of the practically valuable results for
the students should be the following
"a Extension of interests and in
formation.
(2) Power Of ordered thinking.
(3) Spontaneity--fhe loss of re-
straint and self-consciousness in ex-
preston.
az Increased language efficiency.
Some of the agencies which will en-
ter into the training are the follow
ing:
Cd In general, greater emphasis
on spoken English in all high school
classes.
(2) The class in discussion (for
younger students).
(s) The class IN augmentation and
debate. ,--a-
CD Study of specimens Of the best
contemporary spoken English.
Such method as the one suggested
may be shown to have produced de-
sirable results. Public speaking in
the high school, therefore, has al
ready justified itself and passed the
stage, of experiment.
Public speaking is only one degree
removed, from the plainest and most
natural of the forms of expression
used by everybody-namely, talk
