To the Submarine Chaser

Here's to the little gray dog of the sea,
An lash can" tied on her tail,
A bone in her teeth. a.roling free, ~,
Nose-up to a northeast gale.
For when the sea is treating 'em rough"
Out where the storm birds roam,
She never knows when she's had enough
To turn her bow for home.
Though her galley's crashed to ducks and
brakes,
And her fo'c'stle is worse,
CFrom a hatch flung up as a comber
breaks),
And she reels like a drunken hearse;
And. half her crew are wanting to die.
And half too dead for work
She rides EN- through. still standing by
Wherever the steel fish lurk.
She isn't much of a looking craft
With the popgun on her bow,
But she has .pills" upon her aft
That raise a wicked row.
And she cocks her ears along her keel
A-listening patiently
For any Hun that turns a wheel
Or sneaks beneath the sea.
Then forth she goes by three and four,
And two by two the Hun;
Like fate she follows up his score
And he R4ys it, one by one
o."
So here's to the little gray dog Of the sea,
Far-hunting in pack,
Whom neither storm nor enemy
Has ever yet turned back

MOT only did Mr.. Carnegie appreciate all
this, but he also appreciated the pride

reader will have II so-of the scholarly man,
who loathes a patron. who detests con-
descension and Indignantly repels anything

Carnegie arranged for the foundation OF a
free pension system. by which provision
might be made for college teachers in case
OF disability or age after a certain period OF
service. It was delicately suggested that all
this was done in full recognition OF the
inadequacy OF existing provisions and that
all such pensions should be accepted in a
recognition of their nature as deferred SAL

TINE Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
L ment OF Teaching. as 1t is called, at first
planned an old-age retiring allowance after
fifteen years of professional service, a disa-
bllity allowance after twenty-five years of
service and equitable provisions for the
widows of teachers who die before retirement
Another original provision Of the foundation,
IL the Gownsman is rightly informed. was
the contemplation of retirement on the
completion of a term OF service. even though
neither disabled nor of the age limit the
idea being that certain scholars might accept
the opportunity to give up teaching for an
undivided devotion to learning while yet
young enough and able enough TO continue
in full activity To such the acceptance OF
half pay under the conditions of such free
dom would seem boon. in view of the
circumstance that American research had
hitherto subsstcd almost wholly on the wage
of the teacher.
