KENTs HILL NOTES

The charter members of the Epworth
League held tn. ir first initiation Tuesday
evening at the home Of Prof. c.. c..
Clarke. who Is president Of the League.
Eighteen people appeared for initiation,
most OF them members Of the freshman
class at the Seminary. The exercises
were in charge Of Miss Georgia Dunton.
Earle Bigelow and Robert Newton.
The rites were made comical rather
than hair raising, but few tests Of
nerve were introduced for novelty. A
worry pretty part Of the ceremony was
called the ghost march and was accom-
panied by music. Miss Dunton at the
piano. At the close of this march the
candidates were introduced one by one to
the ghost Of Miss Horrible who was later
recognized as a neighbor's ash barrel
properly dressed up. The old water trick
was used to advantage, and towards the
close each Of the girls was given an
"aeroplane" ride. Professor Clarke had
arranged for a goat ride in the barn. but
someone had borrowed the saw horse
which vas to impersonate the goat so this
part Of the program could not be car
ried out. The ceremony was completeu
by eight o'clock and students went back
to their study rooms, all declaring this
after supper event to have been we'll en-
joyed.

the roasting began. The usual number
of ears were lost in the process Of roast
ing and the usual amount of SCOT eaten.
Then came the marshmallows which of
course had to be roasted also. Through
the generosity of Professor Russell, pears
were supplied for the party
Then came the speeches. Robert New
ton, president of the class introduced as
toastmaster Of the evening, Prof. Hazel
ton Spencer who accepted In a wise and
witty vein. and introduced In a happy
manner Principal Newton. He responded
to the toast. "The School" Coach Gale
who in bygone days knew we'll the
shores of Sleepy Hollow, was then called
upon. Coach Gale spoke on Athletics -
and on being recalled, gave the first "au-
thentic" account of certain camping
and chicken party of his day which was
interrupted in the late hours by the un-
expected arrival of the principal HIS
anecdote was much appreciated by the
young people.

for the team; Carrie whittemore for the
literary societies; Georgia Dunton for
the Y. w. c. A.; Earle Bigelow for the Y.
NJ. c. A.; and Robert Newton for the

terest to all who have charge of the edu-
cation of youth.
A large. well lighted room has been re.
Gently furnished with comfortable desks
for study. Reference books and maga-
zines have been placed in the room, and
a teacher assigned for each of the nine
periods of the school day. The fact that
this school has the two session day has
made this movement possible. The
teachers in charge are college graduates
who have had work in educational theory
including methods Of study best adapted
to secondary school boys and girls. This
enables them to properly advise as to how
to prepare a lesson. where to find data
desired and how to organize material for
