m M ORE and more are we reminded that
mi the greatest. the goodliest events
too rarely get into the news. Sun
rise, seed-time, winds and following moons
of autumn, fateful silent battles Of the hui
man heart, joys that grow like flowers in "a
garden enclosed" faiths for which no words
are found, heroisms that march with never
a drumbeat-these are the master stories of
the hour, as of the ages, but only poets take
time to tell them.
stir there must have been throughout
Elysum, when the author of Green Man
sions and the purple Land took leave the
other day of mortality, albeit there was not
a line in our cabled news to chronicle his
going. w. H. Hudson, wondrous among Eng
lish writer's of his time, was born and reared
at the very antipode of publicity, amid vast
horizons, under thick-strewn stars, the
plains of Argentina. In Long Ago and Far
Away" published when he was past three
score and ten, he recreates his childhood
among those world-forgotten silences. What
if he had grown up in London, or even in
Warwickshire? Charming stories he, doubt
less, would have penned, but hardly his high
romances of wind and rain and piercingly
vivid suns; hardly his poignant nature
dramas of souls that meet beauty and sorrow
in one, wandering through deep forest wilds
With head bowed and heart high he listen
ed to voices that prophets OF old were wont
to hear and that little rare-eyed children still
understand; listened and reported to a COM
placently petty world. Recognition of his
worth was sadly belated; but this no more
dispirited him than poverty and loneliness
embittered him. And when at last fame,
like forgetful fairy, sprang clustering from
the gray years she found him naively unim-
pressed by her trappings. n sooth she was
full too fussy lady for his liking, and sus-
piciously echoing jazz in these latter days.
What matters it, after all, how hubbubs
of the street swell and die, if dawn keeps
faith with the hilltops, and stars return to
the eventide, and great news is broken in
visions of the night?"

Georgia Verses
GYPSYING IN GEORGIA
By Sonia RutheIe Novak


We Jared among the Georgia hills
Where Oostanaula crawls,
And through Atlanta on to where
The proud Tallulah falls!
In Rome, we saw spring snoWstorm
That made the jaybirds seold,
But didn't scare the crocus shoots
From breaking through the cold!
Savannah drowsed in balmy air,
And pleasant sun-spun gold,
That thawed the ice around the heart
And loosened sorrows hold!
In Georgia, everywhere we met
With outstretched hands and smiles
And welcome that would lure tramp
hundred thousand miles!
KNIGHTS
BY Sonia RutheIe Novak
Growing behind negro hut
Are twelve tall stalks Of corn
So proudly sleek and straight and tall
They put the hut to scorn!
They champion the cause OF life,
AS did the knights Of old,
And never a knight put forth to war
More richly clad or bold!
Their armor is, of emerald blade,
InIaid with ivory veins;
Their plumes are of tassels made
Their gauntlets, pearly grains!
They give their life that we may live,
And ask no, rich reward,
Nor that their valor should be sung,
Exploited by the bard!
Growing behind a negro hut
Are twelve tall stalks OF corn
So proudly sleek and straight and tall
They put the hut to scorn!

High School Notes

NRev. J. M. Cornelison of Tutuilla
Nilsson was a high school visitor
Tuesday. He was there in the interest
of the Older Boys Conference, which
is to be held in LaGrande December
8, 8, and 10.
Mr.. Lutrell was detained in Port
land Monday and Tuesday of this
week. Superintendent Hadley and Mrs
Hadley cared for his school work
during his absence.
My unanimous vote the high school
Eecently voted to change it's colors to
Orange and Black. The basket ball
suits which the team will wear this
year will conform to these colors.
Mr.. Fred Hodgen was a school visit
or Tuesday.
A challenge for post season foot
ball game, to decide the eastern Ore
gon championship, was received from
LaGrande last Friday. Superintend-
ent Hadley in reply suggested that
the game be played in Pendleton on
neutral field. Principal fowler Of
the LaGrande High School said that
he had asked the state board of con-
troll whether the proposed game would
settle the championship and would let
us know their decision. AS yet we
have not heard from them. We notice
by the "Oregonian" that LaGrande
High School has taken up basket ball
hence we presume that they decided
not to play.
Under arrangements being made,
the Willamette Glee Club will appear
in Athena early in February. Mr..
Blinkensop, whom many people OF
Athena will remember for his wonder
full bass voice will be with the club.

for basket ball Tuesday evening

the team. Four of last years team

tainers will appear in the school aud

Under its handicap of having but

Under its handicap of having but
one normal school, Oregon ranks
second only to Iowa among the states
in the lew percentage of illiteracy
among its inhabitants. All of which
speaks very well, indeed, in favor of
the present educational system, which
is by some condemned and by others,
lauded. But if Oregon can rank
second under present methods of
training teachers for school room
work, the reasonable assumption is
that with at least one additional nor
NAL school within her borders, the
state would have sufficient armor to
outrank Iowa.
