WELL CALLED EARTH STARS
Poetic Designation of the Aster on
Which No One Seems to Be
Able to Improve.

No one, 1t seems, has ever called an
aster anything but an aster. Spec
tacled scientist and tousled peasant for
once use the same language. An aster
Is an aster.
Away back when botanies were not
thought of someone admired the pur-
pie and white delights of autumn and
called them stars. Aster Is the Greek
word for star. No one ever improved
on this designation. They are the
earth stars of autumn. They are the
years last floral fulfillment. They are
the completion of the cycle; solid, sub
stantial, self-reliant, yet wonderfully
beautiful. Only the freakish witch
hazel waits to bloom after the asters.
So common are the earth stars that
they fail to command adequate at
tention. Every wild roadside is alive
with them. Every pasture displays
them, every woodland, every brook
vale. At home In the most enhancing
dell of the remote ravne lands and
equally at home where the tin cans
tester and rust in shameful heaps they
mark the years last effort to beautify
the world.
OF asters there is an Astounding va
riety. Commonly they are classed as
purple or white; but this Is absurdly
superficial. Purple is no proper classi-
fication of the many shades of tinged
blue which the frost-nipped fields and
woods display. And even the less at
tractive white kinds are of many vari-
etles.
1t is well to go stargazing in autumn
and to gaze downward for earth stars.
All the stars are not in the vaulted
armament. We are, ourselves, earth
creatures and the earth stars are more
comprehensive than the stars Of the
sky with their sense-dulling distances
and magnitude. But their message is
the same, the message Of life and Won
der. Without wonder life would be lit

ENGINEERING NOT HIS FORTE
How Robert Louis Stevenson Succeed
ed in Convincing His Father
of That Fact.

Rev. Archibald Bisset, minister of
Ratio for over forty years, was Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson's closest friend.
Mr.. Bisset's intimacy with Stevenson
belonged to his early Edinburgh
days" when he was trying to become
an author despite paternal opposition,
and Mr.. Bisset used to tell how the
elder Stevenson, having got his re-
luctant son safely anchored In his Of
flee one day, gave him a problem to
solve regarding bridge pressure, and
went off to meeting. Louis cast his
eyes over the task, pulled Lewes' Life
of Goethe" out of his pocket, and APP
piled himself to that. "Well, Louis"
said the father on his return, 'have
you worked out that calculationY'
mo" was the bored reply, 81 knew
that nothing depended on my doing 1t |;
i haven't the slightest curiosity as to
what the pressure would be; tell me,
and / will take 1t on your authority"

son, and then remarked slowly, ~

testimonial to Principal Benedict
ability as an educator, and it will
need one of the best to take up his
work and make results measure up
to what Mr.. Benedict accomplished

The 1917 graduates of Island Pond
High school and the Sacred Heart of
Mary academy were fine classes of
young men and women. The grad
uating exercises of both schools
measure up to the high standard
set by classes that have gone before
them. The good work of Island
Pond schools is highly commended
by all interested or connected with
educational work in this section.
We are proud of our school and
proud of the splendid young men
and women they are sending out so
thoroughly fitted to take up the life
work that may be allotted them.
The success and high standing of
our schools is the strongest evidence
of the upIift, enterprise and progress
of our community.
