EDWARD T. FAIRCHILD.

The esteem in which the late DIR.
Edward T. Fairchild was held by his
new friends in the east is indicated in
an editorial in the Boston Transcript
of recent date. 1t follows:
The death of Edward T. Fairchild,
president of New Hampshire college,
removes one of that notable group
of progressive educators New England
has drafted in the last decade in an eff
fort to vitalize its higher institutions
of learning. Born in the west, edu-
Gated there and tested in its school of
experience, Doctor Fairchild was
closely allied with the many recent
forward movements in education. He
was essentially a practical man. He
believed in the greatest possible
breadth of entrance requirements and
attempted to lay the foundations for
making New Hampshire college COM
parable in. a small way to the great
state institutions of the middle west.
A forceful speaker he did not hest
tate to carry his message to the people
of the state. He early won the con-
fidence of all New Hampshire, of pa
rents and school men and, what is
more to the point, of the legislators.
During his short administration the
state college virtually doubled it's en-
rollment, and added largely to its
equipment. But, beyond all that, it
made education synonymous with ser
vice. New Hampshire will not soon
forget what Doctor Fairchild did for
her and for her young men and wo-
men in the field of sound learning and
useful citizenship.

BED TIME TALES
THE WISHING RAINDROPs.
BY CLARA INGRAM JUDSO

One dark wintry day, the storm
clouds hung low in the sky and the
sun had not shown his face even for
a minute.
All the little rain drops up in the
clouds had expected to visit the earth
some time during the day, but the
air was so cold and dismal they put
off leaving their. safe cloudland home.
Finally Mother Cloud said, II
thought you were going to the earth
today; 1 heard you talking about it
this morning.
Yes, L know we talked about it
this morning" replied one little rain
drop, but you see it's so cold and"
Dear me, don't you know it is
afternoon now" exclaimed Mother
Cloud. you should be brave and not
mind the cold"
But I'm not brave exclaimed an
other drop, I'm not brave at all, I'm
only a little raindrop-I wish l was a
snowflake, then ! wouldn't mind the
cold.'
"Oh, l wouldn't wish to be some
thing you are not" said Mother Cloud
practically, why don't you stir around
a bit and have good time as little
raindrop should and not wish to be
something.
Maybe sometime you can be a
snowflake if you work and do your
part now" she added.
But you see the little raindrops
were SO comfortable in the cloud they
didn't feel like hurrying.
At last, late in the afternoon they
decided to go to the earth. SO they
slipped away from the cloud and
started on their journey down thru
the air.
"Burr-r-r it is cold" shivered one
L wish 1 was back home."
ugh, I'm nearly frozen said an
other, my sides are getting as cold
and stiff as ice-I think it's very
hard work to be a raindrop in winter

THEN L COULD REST.

If | could take me to my bed,
And garner every word I've said,
Remember every word I've read.
And find no dream within me dead
If thru each hour each word had been
Unselfish. clean and free from sin;
If l had listened to the din
And found some secret way to win.
To win myself and other men
Back to the ancient truths again;
If l could note with golden pen
One perfect days more perfect end
Whose sun had set men at peace,
Where each was wont to take his ease
Beneath his vines and fruiting trees,
While children played about his knees.
If l could feel that all the best
OF thought or deeds within the breast
Had been performed with fervent zest
OF brotherhood then could rest.

The wave Of sentiment against

Will of the people. 1t is noticeable IN

This gives us the right to close

this is but one example OF how the
