HADLEY AND VAILL.
Oh the Grandeur That Was Greece
 and the Glory That Was Rome

As seen Through HCmor- ous Eyes. As the World Wags: President Arthur T. Hadley's latest l contribution to educational literature appears in the September Harpers under the caption College studies and college tests" This argumenta- tive and richly suggestive essay is refreshing and of inestimable value, in these days of doubt and uncertainty as to the most effective methods of instruction and the best selection of subjects to be studied. One finds, too, a rare bit of humor in the parody on the famous lines of Horace, which, for the purpose at hand. are ren- dered:
 Some like to raise Olympic dust Through four years course in college, And clip \the corners extra close To win the prize for knowledge.'
 Does not this make you hark back to the days of boyhood when the comic translation of Virgil gave us more real pleasure than the original text? Very likely there were sev- eral translations of this nature, but the one in mind was by Vaill. erst- while editor and proprietor of the Winsted (Conn.) Herald. The work is out of print, but some years ago the authors brother, who had suc- ceeded to the editors chair, assured me he still had the original cuts and copy for "seed" and he hoped to get out another edition.
 Do not the following lines make you wish to hike back to the classics and once more drink deep from the Perian spring, or could you yourself in better fashion render the invo- cation?
 co Muse, relate to me the facts, if
 you happen to know 'em, Concerning the hero of this aston
 ishing poem;
 Explain why the queen of the gods
 was so terribly eager So clever and pious man at each
 step to beleaguer; Why with wrath she pursued him.
 with shipwreck and tempest and
 thunder;
 Do they cultivate such reprehenslble
 morals up yonder?'
 And is there not a full measure of snap and go in the lines: "Dido no longer acts clandestinely, But openly, and quite indecently Calls him her husband, and in this
 way tries
 To pull wool OCT his circumspectious
 eyes.
 But Jupiter the great, grand, high
 old Turk,
 Woke up, and gaped, and looked, and
 said: What work! Mercury, my son, put on your shap-
 DO quick,
 And drop on Carthage city like a
 streak;
 Aneas is there, hanging around Dido; want to know what he means by it,
 I do."
 I know where there is a copy of this work, and if the possessor passes over before l am called I will get it and then when Charon, in his fer ruginous bark, ferries me OCT tie Styx and the sop to Cerberus is safe ly stored in my whetstone pocket, I will bury my nose in VailIs transla- ton and thus cheered, enter the great unknown.

THEIR TRUE TO THE COURSE.

There Is one thing public officials New. Britain and their advisers will et over some day, and that is start &g out to do something one way and hen deciding to do just the opposite. here Is lacking here the power of ecision. At one moment it is agreed bon to do a thing in this way and he next moment it is decided to ened in the case of the celebration r the men going to Aver, Massachu- its, under the Selective Draft Law lrst it was thought expedient to bld the public farewell on Wednes- by evening, tonight.

Before the sun goes down to- ght we are very very lucky if a eeting has not been called to post bne the celebration altogether
 One of the main reasons for de- ring to hold the formal send-off of e drafted men on this evening was vapced after the last farewell to . first detachment. At that time it hs seen that the morning of depar- re was no time for such farewell. be heart-rending scenes were oh as to warn any man with com pn sense that they should not be peated, if possible. A campaign hs conducted, through the news pers and otherwise, for the pur- |se of sounding public sentiment d public sentiment said this: We hEt not go through again what we ft through when the last detach- Int of drafted men went away.
