THE Millado" is to be repeated by the
boys OF the Riverdale Country School in
two performances next Saturday after

1 1T Riverdale on the Hudson. The pro-
. duction of March l was so successful
that repetition was asked for The
stage setting and the lighting effects. de-
signed by Joseph Urban, will be used in
full. Mr.. Urban himself is so much in
terested in the work of the boys that he
purposes to attend one of the perform
ances. The sale of tickets Is progressing
rapidly and the boys are hopeful that
they may possibly earn as much money
toward the expense of the permanent
stage at Riverdale as they did for Ar
menian relief, and this amounted to
$500.
Frank Lea Short OF the staff OF the
school, who has entire charge of the
work in dramatics, Is to undertake a
very interesting experiment for the
Shakespearian play given each spring
out of doors. He has decided to present
"A Midsummer Nights Dream" and to
use only the boys in the lower school.
This means there will be no boy in II
over IL. He plans to have fifty in the
cast Rehearsals are to begin shortly,
but first of all Mr. Short will give the
boys a course in dramatic expression.
there have returned a number of the
Riverdale fellows but the first to call on
the telephone to announce a visit on his
first leave was Hugh Baines-Griffiths
The boys are eagerly awaiting the OPP
portunity to welcome him, particularly
because he has been awarded by the
British a decoration for Gallantry in ac-
ton. His citation is as follows
"Trivate (irst CLASSY nigh Baines-
Griff1ths, No. 1212561, Machine Gun Co..
10th Infaniry. During the operations
against the Hindenburg line near Veudu-
lille, France on September 20, 1918, Pri-
vate Grffths under a heavy machine gun
and shell fire voluntarily attempted TO
establish liaison with another part OF the
command. He also discovered and
helped to defeat two flanking movements
OF the enemy by heroically exposing him
self to constant fire. He exhibited a con-
tempt for danger and personal courage
and great bravery OF the highest type,
which was splendid example for his
comrades"

several streets and alleys and finally
over the river. The burglar reached the
other bank in safety. but tho policeman
found an unsafe piece of ice and went
through. He called for help and the
burglar turned back, hurried to the po-
liceman and saved him. Should the
policeman arrest the burglar? The

a week and hand in their opinions.
Last Thursday Dr. Arbuckle an

boys believed that the policeman would
be obliged to arrest the burglar. and
then gave reasons on both sides of the
question, showing that knowledge and
conscience must work together in all
Intelligent decisions. Both talks were

ST. JOHNS SCHOOL.

The basketball season at St Johns
School, Manlius, n. Y. was closed Sat
urday when the Manlius team was de-
feated on Its own floor by the fast
Colgate Freshmen quintet. 1t was evil
dent from the start OF the game that
Colgate was superior. but the Manlius
boys retained their fight throughout the
game and there was not one moment
without It's thrills.
The game was hard fought and not
one basket was scored without a strong
opposition from the opposing team. It
was one OF the cleanest games seen for
some time but ended in a victory for
Colgate, 39-17.
This makes the second defeat for
Manlius this season. Friday the Re-
serves defeated the Oswego basket tos-
sers by score of 1921. This team de-
feated the Reserves at Oswego a few
weeks ago. 1t was a we'll played game

times which aided materially in increas-
ing the Reserves score.
The Cadet Corps had the pleasure
this week of listening to lecture by DR..
Byron King OF Pittsburg. His lecture
may be compared to a sugar coated pill
for it was full of good advice, but so
camouflaged that 1t was some time be-
fore the advice was discovered. DR..
Kings talk was full of bits of humor
which were appreciated by the corps.
His illustrations were apt and he played
upon the emotions to the fullest. 1t is
to be hoped that in the future the corps
will have the opportunity OF listening to
other speakers of the calibre OF DR..
King.
The spring vacation Is in full swing
and will last until March gath. Owing
TO the lateness of Easter this year, 1t
has become necessary to have the vaca-
ton early.
There are eighteen cadets who hav-
ing an average OF 90 per cent or over
since January eth are to go home
early. Logan heads the list with an
average Of 945 per cent.

Verse Worth Remembering
Coronation
By HELEN HUNT JACKSON


At the kings gate the subtle noon
Wove 1lmy yellow nets of sun;
Into the drowsy snare too
The guards fell one by one.
Through the kings gate unquestioned then,
A beggar went, and laughed This brings
Me chance, at last, to see IL men
Fare better being kings"
The king sat bowed beneath his crown,
Propping his face with listless hand;
Watching the hourglass sitting down
Too slow its shining sands.
Poor man, what wouldst thou have OF me?"
The beggar turned. and, plying,
Replied like one in dream, "Of thee,
Nothing. I want the king"
w rose the king, and from his head
Shook off the crown and threw 1t by.
20 man, thou must have known" he said
"A greater king than l."
Through all the gates, unquestioned then,
Went king and beggar hand in hand.
Whispered the king shall know when
Before his throne stand?"
The beggar laughed Free winds in haste
Were wiping from the kings hot brow
The crimson lines the crown had traced
This is his presence now"
At the kings gate. the crafty noon
Unwove its yellow nets OF sun;
Out Of their sleep in terror soon
The guards walked one by one
"Ho. here Ho, there. Has no man seen
The king?" The cry to and fro:
Beggar and king, they laughed 1 ween,
The laugh that free men know.
On the kings gate the moss grew gray;
The king came not They called him dead;
And made his eldest son one day
Slave in his fathers stead.

 In anticipation of the event the city is well decorated tonight with bunting, there being practically no building in the business section that does not carry the Confederate emblem. A great many resi- dences also display flags. Along with the Confederate flag of course the Stars and Stripes are showing and many houses carry the colors of our associates in the late war as well.
 The last tent of the big encampment in Piedmont pask, known as Camp Joseph F. Johnston, was pitched today and # is now ready for the occupants of the wear CTS of the gray.
