LANGUAGE

THE scenes and the sounds of a

which is readily understood by him
whose eyes and eafs are attuned to
the splendor and the din.
And what Is true concerning the
seasoned citizen, Is proportionately
true of the verdant visitor who, at a
glance interprets the meaning of the
smile Of sturdy beggar grinding a
hand-organ while his picturesquely
frocked companion rattles a tambou-
rine, and passes 1t solicitously among
the gaping group Of music lovers to
catch the stray pennies.
The chimes in the church steeples,
the tinkling bells of the itinerant ped
dler of many wares. speak to all in a
familiar tongue.
The Russian or the Greek who can
not frame word of English knows
well the lingo Of the gathering milk
cans in the early morning and an
swers their call with alacrity.
Who is so untutored that he cannot
read the joy of the sound Of the bah
bling brooks, or the love in the song
of the happy bird that is singing
among the green hills to his mate.
And the cumulus clouds with their
ever-changing forms. their happy
tints of purple and gold and silver.

Who does, not delight in their whis-

THE LITTLE OAK
CHAIR
BY GRACE {. HALL

|THERE's q little black mound on
= the hillside today
That was not there short year ago,
And little oak chair In the closet
must stay,
When the others are placed in q
row;
And little checked apron. that she
used to wear,
Is hanging. all crumpled. beside of the
chair.
In little blue room that is empty and
cold
There is standing little white bed.
And gay little mirror. with flowers
of gold,
Seems waiting to frame dark
head:
In a low-wicker cradle beside of the
wall.
Untouched lies treasure-her bat
tered rag doll.
There's a twisted red tam on a nail
And a coat that has buttons but
three,
Though their owner will need them,
alasl nevermore,
They hold their old place tenderly {;
And bit of a scarf, with the needles
awry,
Is there In her basket Of knitting,
laid by.
Oil the berries will glow on the holly,
blood-red,
And prayers will be mumbled and
fast
AS little bare feet scamper swiftly to
bed,
The waiting Of weary months past I;
The stockings will hang by the CRATE
In a row
But the little black mound will be 'un-
| der the snow
And the seats will be placed by the
board, Christmas day,
But the little oak chair in the closet
must stay.

Lincoln University Offers
Real Chance to Hill People
college in Tennessee Mountains Gives
! Poor Youths of Region Only Chance
! to Obtain Education at Lou Cost.

Since the summer of 1911 Lincoln
Memorial University has run prac-
tically the year around, the school
year being divided into four terms of
twelve weeks each. The college
doors are always open and classes go
on regularly, save for four weeks dur
ing August when the buildings are
overhauled and made ready for the
beginning of the fall session. Many
students stay right on through Au-
gust as there is work on the farm, In
the canning factory and in cleaning
up the buildings.
Has summer Term.
The work of the fourth or summer
term is regular work in the college
and preparatory classes, for gradua
tion as in any other term. In this
way student can take a full four
years course in three years II he
likes. And as majority or studer
enter at an advanced age and the
necessity for economy IN boon time
and expense is urgent, this fOur-term
plan has been found highly desirable.
1t also has been found convenient for
those who must leave school tenn
porarily for one cause or another. a:
they can re-enter at short Intervals,
instead Of losing so much time walt
ing for another term.
In addition to the regular college
courses there is a unique department
called the Opportunity school" This
is truly what its name implies-pupils s
who are unevenly graded, ahead In
some subjects and behind In others;
mature students who seek rapid ad-
vancement: those who lack time for
a full course of study, but desire In
tenSive training in one or two sub
jects only, all find their needs met
here.
Some Students Married.
one well-to-do couple from the
north, who had reared their children
and sent them forth in the world,
came down and took a course in order
that they might better enjoy the
means and leisure they had earned
through years of hard work for their
old age. 1t is not unusual for a mar
ried woman or man to be among the
students of the opportunity school.
Some of them study so they may enter
the regular college classes.
Others study to read the news
papers and magazines and to be able
to write letters to their children, who
have left the home nests for the out
side world.
The expenses of a student at the
university seem 50 small-$225 to
be so hard for many to raise that
amount. Students often come from
homes where there are from eight
to fourteen in the family.
Often the father has no assured in
come, and the little plots of mountain
land under cultivation yield barely
enough to keep the wolf from the
door. 1t is difficult for this type
of family to raise even $50 or Sl00.
And it is to many such as these that
the university offers the opportunity
of education; the opportunity OF
small printing shop, the creamery
modern dairy, large stock and dairy
barn, and several cottages for teach
ers. workers and students.
Much Land Added.
To the original $50 acres have beer
added ten acres surrounding the
