Art Of Forgetting
A Blessed Art

Most of us have had troubles all our
lives, and each day has brought all the
evil we could endure. But if we were
asked to recount the sorrows of our
lives, how many could we remember?
How many that are six months old
should we think worthy to be remem-
bered or mentioned? Today's troubles
look large, but a week hence they will
be forgotten and buried out IF sight
The art of forgetting is blessed
art, but the art of overlooking is quite
as important. And if we should take
time to write down the origin, prog
ress and outcome of few of our trou-
bles, it would make us so ashamed of
the fuss we make over them that we
should be glad to drop such things and
bury them at once in eternal forget
fitness. Life is Zoo short to be worn
out in petty worries, frettings, hat
reds and vexations Let us Danish all
of them and think on whatsoever
things are pure and lovely and gentle
and of good report.
Criticisms should be received with

Arbor Day

Although Arbor Day is one of the
newest of our American holidays, its
institution is merely the revival of an
ancient custom. 1t is said the Aztecs
always planted tree when an infant
came into the world, and gave it the
child's own name, and the old Mexican
Indians plant trees on certain days of
the year, under the full moon, naming
them after their children. In certain
parts of Europe each member of each
family plants tree at Whitsuntide.
There is a Swiss chronicle of the
Fifth Century which gives an account
of an early and curious Institution of
Arbor Day. The people of little
down called Brugg assembled in coun
ell and resolved to plant a forest of
oak trees on the common. The first
rainy day thereafter the citizens be-
gan their work by digging holes in the
ground with canes and sticks and
dropped an acorn into each hole,
tramping the dirt over it. But the
acorns refused to sprout. Then fur
rows were made by the pillow and the
acorns were dropped in them. But
failure came again. Transplanting
was tried, the community marched to
the woods, dug up oak saplings and
transpl;.nted them. 1T the close of
the exercises each boy and girl was
presented with a bun and the older
people had a merry feast in the even
ing. This time the trees grew and the
people instituted the day of tree
planting as yearly holiday.
"When we plant a tree, we are do
ing what we can to make our planet
more wholesome and happier dwelling
place for those who come after us if
not for ourselves. Holmes.

'Tn annexing Delaware College,
however," says the writer, "Janitor
Barton has become no mere pedant
He has no Illusions as to the academic
society whether of the student body or
of the faculty For two decades he
has borne with phliosophic calm the
follies Of undergraduate youth and
has accepted from his annoyers the
sobriquet 'Hazo', which may be a mere
nickname or possibly an academic
title of esoteric significance. Jaritor
Barton has his own fancies as to men,
hers of the faculty. Upon some he
confers the decorate in anticipation
of official action by their fellows and
the trustees. Others he refers to in
private by their last names without
any sort of handle. When Doctor
Harter was president of the college
Janitor Barton habitually spoke of
him professors as "Harter." Dean
Smith, whose father, grandfather and
great grandfather he has Familiarity
known, he calls simply Lawrence. !"
Mere professors are casual and tenn
porary in Janitor Barton's experience
They come and go while he stays put.
Some of them he recalls as mere I'M
dergraduates and there is strong rea-
son to suspect that Janitor Barton
impartially classes all undergraduates,
save those of the Women's College,
along with wild oats and other OBJ
noxious things of field and wood as
"varmints." Janitor Barton's silver
wedding with Delaware College will
be appropriately celebrated two years
hence and his one hundredth anniver-
sary his friends hope to celebrate
along with that of the College itself
in 1888.

cheerful philosophy. The first impor:
tant question to settle is whether it is
deserved or not. If not, let it pass.
Forget about it. If you deserve it,
then you are lucky to find it out. And
you should be grateful for the oppor-
tunity to correct a fault that needs
correction. Do not be so short-sight-
ed as to reject criticism simply be-
cause the motive of your critic was
not kindly. Do not refuse to profit by
it because it hurts. Bitter medicine
may be better for you than honey.
Nobody is perfect, but the one who is
willing to be told his faults stands a
good chance of improvement.

"JANITOR EMERITUS"
FIGURES IN FEATURE.
STORY
William Barton Romantic
Life History in Recent
Sunday Paper

In the April goth issue of the Phila-
delphia Sunday Record, E. N. Vallan
digham writes a delightfully."- enter
tanning story of Janitor Emeritus,
in which he depicts the eVentful life
of William, familiarly known as
"Hazo" Barton, whom he describes as
"at once a living and functioning Off
cial and an academic tradition"
"From BIRTH" writes the narrator,
civilian Barton was marked for an
academic career, for he was born APP
propriately at Shakespeare's Mills,
mile and half south of Newark, on
the historic Welsh Tract, in Pencader
hundred and almost in the shadow of
Iron Hill. He is the last of sixteen
brothers and sisters, some of whom
lived into their eighties. Doubtless
his forbears were among those early
eighteenth century Welsh Baptlsts
who settled this tract, among whom,
as it is believed, were those of Jeffer-
son Davis.
Many descendants of the Welsh
Tract settlers, whose patent was
granted by the Penns in 1907, have
been content to live and die within
sight of Iron Hill. II Il Janitor Bar
ton, however, has his days Of wander
ing far afield. He is one of the few
who now survive Albert Sidney john
stons military expedition into the
Mormon country after the Meadow
Mountain massacre of September IL,
1857. At "a, Janitor Barton, as prl-
vate soldier, started with Johnston's
expedition, driving a team OF SIX
mules.
The writer gives a spirited descrip-
ton of Johnston's expedition, of his
native tact in dealing with the Nor
mons ard his skill in negotiations
which won for him the rank of briga-
der general, and of the massacre
which occasioned the sending Of the
expedition.
"Albert Sidney Johnston" he con-
tinues, SIS William Barton's hero, just
as that expedition across the plains
was the great adventure Of William
Barton's life. He still sees it with the
eyes of youth, and talks of it with zest
and enthusiasm"
Teamster Barton has no painful
recollections of that long march across
the mountains and desert. He was
young and strong, never hitherto hav-
ing had a days illness, as he insists
he has never had since.
Recollections and observations of
the young teamster in the Mormon
district are entertainingly told. An
account of his venture into the Cali
fornia gold fields contains the story
of what are probably the oldest pair
of boots in Delaware, which the au-
thor states are not worn but are kept
we'll polished. These were made in
little mining town in California in
1868. The call of the homeland was
answered in 1860 by trip to Della
ware. The lure of the west was, how
ever, sufficiently strong to draw him
thither. He worked in Oregon came
back East and worked successfully in
Philadelphia as piledriver and in New
ark as factory employee. Twenty
three years ago he was called to his
present post. About five years ago he
asked to be retired but in a few weeks
sought reinstatement and has since
