B. H, $. NOTES
By IDA CLARE

They say that patience is a virtue
 if so the students of B. H. s. are virtuOus scholars and their patience
 was rewarded yesterday morning by most delightful assembly. An added
 attraction was that the opening song
 was selected by the visitor.
 As usual MT. Moore gave the open
 ing address. He spoke of the value
 of the past speakers who have come
 to the school and of their message.
 He announced that a new series of assemblies was about to begin and
 these would all havle a different basis
 from those previous. "The speakers
 whom we have had were all college
 men, some professors, some presI-
 dents. some officials representing
 great institutions of learning" The
 speakers who will come to us in the
 future series are men who will tell
 us of a different side of life than that
 of college training. We have with us today man who I believe is worthy of the place as fiji st speaker of the
 series. He is able, I am sure to give
 you some helpful suggestions and it gievs me great pleasure to present Rev. Archibald Campbell of the Washington Park M. E. church." said MT. Moore.
 From the first look at the speaker the pupils were sure they were going to have a gala address for their gala
 asse embly, and Rev. Campbell did not disappoint them. The subject of his
 talk was Tools I Have Used" The first tool he used to become acquaint- 1 ed with the audience drilled their | sense of humor with some exceeding i ly funny jokes. ''The best tool I ever ! used in life was selling papers. From 1 that stage I got ideas and ideals. My | parents had planned that I should i have a college education, but father l and mother were taken away so I had 1 to meet diversity as best I could, said | Dr. Campbell. He spoke of various 1 prominent men whom he had become l acquainted with simply through sell l ing newspapers. When I was a very 1 small child I aspired to be a prize i fighter. Probably some of you boys ] have had the same feeding. But after l l had taken boxing lessons for q ! while I found that the sport WIS i rather hard on the eyes and some 1 times on the stomach and so sooner or later, took the ash man for my ! ideal. To me it was the acme of hu- ] man achievem entS to be able to drive an ash cart and to lift those huge l cans into the cart But, as is often i the case, real life turned out quite 1 differently.
 When I gave up the newspaper business I became a brass molder. l
 still retain a little of that quality So i should you. Though you have never l been and might never be brass mold CTS there should always be a little i brass about you. In most of the finest
 of metals there is an alloy of brass That makes it finer. You should have
 an alloy as a magnificent useful ele-
 ment in life.''
 "T shall never forget one time when I visited Mount Washington The incident of which I will tell you
 occurred very early in the morning I was at the base of the Mount I asked the guide how much it would cost to go up to the peak Four dol
 lars, he answered. "A little dear bu I'll try it., I said. So off we went There was quite a number in tht } i party It was anything but a delight 5 full journey for we jogged along, ant
 stumbled along and fell along, unti ] finally we reached the top and w l alighted. Here I was at the spo = where in my boyhood dreams I hat always pictured myself. The place t had read so much about in stor. 3 books. I could picture myself the1 1 loOhlnS uOWn the 1OIS piSSlueHllt
 range but never for moment did f imagine it would ever come true. : went to a jagged cliff and tried t = look at the range but To and hehol t I could hardly see my hand befor e me, the fog was so dense. l hal | spent my four dollars. l had takel y that terrible ride, I had come all tn e way from Boston just to see the fog 0 Very much disheartened I descende t and went to the hotel. About an hou = later a young lady who had been il = the party came into the room an t exclaimed. Did you see it? Wasn'
 it marvellous? See what! All l sa7 : was fog. Yes. she added, but yo
 should have stuck to it for after j. while the fog went up like a curtai1 $ of mist and then we, saw the rang ,, l and it was beautiful So it is wit e you boys and girls fnn may go I'
