critical. But if there be any who think we have not launched out as far as we might have, we refer them to one of Franklin's sayings :
"Vessels large may venture more, But little boats should keep near shore."
FRANKLIN Benjamin Franklin was primarily a citizen and the list of
his accomplishments for the good of his country is a long one. In the formative period of American achievements he was the principal suggester of new ways to do things. He was illustrious in science from the time of his discovery in electricity. His forty-one years of diplomatic service were proven successful by the great Frenchman who said it was impossible to refuse fleets and armies to the countrymen of Franklin. As a student of history we find that as a printer he had no superiors and as a journalist he exerted an influence more potent than either of his sovereigns or their parliaments. He organized the first police of Philadelphia, the first fire company and made the paving of streets a municipal function. He formed the first public library, established the now famous University of Pennsylvania and was one of the five who drew up the Declaration of Independence.
Frugal in his habits, simple in his tastes, wise in his indulgences, he set us a glorious example for industry, thrift and economy. One of his biographers says of him: "The simplicity of his style, his moderation of statement, his aversion or exaggeration, his inflexible logic and his perfect truthfulness make his writings a model which no one can study without profit. A judicious selection from Franklin's writings should constitute a part of the curriculum of every college and high school that aspires to cultivate in its pupils a pure style and correct literary taste."
· SCHOOL SPIRIT Just what do we mean by "School Spirit" ? The moral
atmosphere of a school is different from any other place. At 8
home we are bound by sacred ties, and know that our virtues will be magnified and our faults will be forgiven seventy times seven. But in the schoolroom or on the playground each one must make good before he or she is received into full fellowship.
Opinions differ as to what constitutes true school spirit. A student who attends all athletic tournaments and offers to fight anyone who does not uphold his school only possesses an outward idea of this spirit. 'ro have a true conception is to treat your teachers with respect; obey the laws of your school; drop all petty jealousies and give attention to the social side.
It is your school! Stand up for it! Take an interest in the activities along every line. Just so far as you respect this attitude, just so far, and no farther, will others come into your way of thinking!
FATHER TIME THE TRUE CRITIC If the word "criticise" is used in its true sense, then to
criticise a book is simply to judge it-to pass an opinion upon its merits. The word "criticism" involves neither condemnation nor praise. As the word is generally used, however, it does involve a certain amount of condemnation. When most people say that a book has been criticised they mean that fault has been found with it.
But after all, with careful consideration, we believe that Time only is the judge of books, and by Time's decree some few are placed on the golden shelf of eternity while the rest are forever cast into oblivion.
APROPOS OF MISS ROLLER'S LATIN EXHIBIT Many people fail to see the value of Latin and are, much
to their own discredit, always asking: "What is the good of Latin?" Latin, at one time, was the universal language of the world, and not for lack of quality, but for lack of appreciation by the barbarians, who could not see the good of Latin, it had to give place to other var}.ed languages.

Today it is the fundamental part of the English language. Although the English language, as the name implies, contains a great amount of Anglo Saxon and Celtic speech, yet these have supplied their limit of words to modern English, while Latin, like a great primeval forest, has supplied, and is still supplying, new words and shades of thought which the Anglo Saxon language did not nor could not produce. It was only a dialect and had not reached the stage where such a variety of thoughts were necessary to its people. If this be true, then the study of Latin is only a deeper delving into present-day English. And to obtain the best knowledge of our own speech we should not neglect the study of its source and foundation.
WAR VERSUS PEACE It is much to be regretted that across the ocean countries
are warring with each other. We were gloating over our era of peace. Every intellectual and moral influence was tending toward peace. The causes for war were diminishing year by year and the result was that comforts and luxuries of life were increased.
The development of steam and the marvels of electricity have marked a progress which was impossible had we con- · tinned in war. Recently there has been a great difference in the haste with which nations used to plunge into war. Some of the reasons for this were international opinion and interference, and because annexation of conquered territory was limited. In older times the conquered people became slaves when their country was taken; now no civilized nation can do this.
War is a relic of barbarism. The incursion of the Goths, Vandals, Scythians and Huns caused continuous defensive fighting on the part of the Romans. The religious wars of the middle ages, which terminated after thirty years with the Peace of Westphalia, was another era of bloodshed. The wars of ambitious rulers changed the map of Europe. Alexander the Great, Caesar, Louis XIV and Napoleon caused the
10
(',_~ ,, / ~ - ~ a> ~_..,,.........~~(} ~~~ ~litn OS't~,,..t" ~
youth and manhood of their day to be sacrificed on the fields of battle.
It is estimated that since the beginning of wars the loss of life has been approximately fifteen billion men-nine times the present population of the world.
Franklin said that, abstracted from the inhumanity of it, war was wrong in point of human prudence; for whatever advantage one nation obtained from another, whether part of their territory or liberty of commerce, etc., it would be cheaper to purchase such advantages with ready money than to pay the expense of acquiring it by men. An army is a devouring monster; and when you have raised it you have clothing, pay, provisions, ammunition and arms with numberless other charges to satisfy. Franklin thought if statesmen were more accustomed to calculation wars would be less frequent. He thought that Canada might have been purchased from the French for one-tenth of the money which England spent in its conquest. He felt that if England had kept us in good humor by allowing us to dispose of our own money she might easily have drawn from us much more by our voluntary grants than ever she could by taxes. Sensible people will give a bucket or two of water to a dry pump that they may afterward get from it all they have occasion. And so England spent one hundre'd millions of her money and after all lost what she contended for.
Might it not be thought that the powers could have found a way otherwise than war as a means of settling human differences? Statisticians estimate that in five months the present warring nations have lost six million men, killed, wounded and captlirfid, and seven billion dollars. In addition they have lost as mtich more in money by the paralyzation of commerce and industry. This is one of the practical reasons why war must cease. Nations are staggering toward bankruptcy. In a single year two billion dollars were spent, in an era of peace, on wars, past and prospective. In the United States alone sixty-seven per cent of money appropriated by Congress goes for army and navy and thirty-three per cent for civil accounts.

But the peace sentiment is growing. Among the antiwar propositions already before Congress is a proposed amendment to the Constitution providing for a popular ref erendum on the ·declaration of war, except in the case of defense; a bill to prohibit the export of war munitions to foreign fighters; a resolution for a nationwide advisory referendum on the military policy of the government. And also another bill authorizing the government to manufacture all war materials and prohibiting the export of privately-made munitions of war.
Let us judge the future by the past, inasmuch as the history of war is the philosophy of war taught by examples.

When Benjamin Franklin was twenty-six years old he published the first number of this Almanac. It is still one of the marvels of modern literature. It contained a vast amount of common sense and worldly wisdom, and for a quarter of a century provided the people with proverbs and homely advice which were learned and printed by thousands. It so eff ectively taught the principles of economy and prudence that the city's stockof ready money was actually increased and it helped to make the vicinity the home of frugality. The pamphlets were in such demand that they were worn to pieces by their eager owners.
Poor Richard's Almanac owed its popularity entirely to literary efforts and was translated into many languages. People who had no other books would buy and read the Almanac, treasuring in their hearts his famous sayings.
"A word to the wise is enough." "There are no gains without pains." "God helps them that help themselves." "One today is worth two tomorrow." "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy,
wealthy and wise." "Little strokes fell great oaks."

"Plow deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep."
"Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee." "The sleeping fox catches no poultry." "Diligence is the mother of good luck." "Constant dropping wears away stones." "A small leak will sink a great ship." "Who dainties love shall beggars prove." "Creditors have better memories than debtors." "Many a little makes a mickle." "Fools make feasts and wise men eat them." "Many have been ruined by buying good pennyworths." "Rather go to bed supperless than rise in debt." "For age and want save while you may, no morning sun
lasts the whole day."

It may interest you to know that there are about four hundred species of humming birds. Some, when stripped of their feathers, are no larger than bumble bees.
Scientists estimate that about thirty inches of rain fell on the land in a year, and· that the average yearly rainfall on the whole surface of the earth is not less than thirty-six inches. This estimate has enabled them to calculate that nearly thirteen hundred thousand million of metric tons of rain fall every day, or fifteen million tons of rain a second. We are glad to note, thanks be to Nature, the rain doesn't all fall in the same place at the same time.
The average p~rson in breathing uses only about oneseventh of his lungs. The other six-sevenths are filled most of the time with what is called residual air. Naturally, as the air remains at the bottom of each lung, it becomes vitiated by its stay there and does much harm. A trained runner can draw into his lungs from one hundred to one hundred and fifty more cubic inches . bf air than the person of average lung capacity. "A word to the wise" should be sufficient, thus

Poor Richard's Almanac owed its popularity entirely to literary efforts and was translated into many languages. People who had no other books would buy and read the Almanac, treasuring in their hearts his famous sayings.
"A word to the wise is enough." "There are no gains without pains." "God helps them that help themselves." "One today is worth two tomorrow." "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy,
wealthy and wise." "Little strokes fell great oaks."

It may interest you to know that there are about four hundred species of humming birds. Some, when stripped of their feathers, are no larger than bumble bees.
Scientists estimate that about thirty inches of rain fell on the land in a year, and· that the average yearly rainfall on the whole surface of the earth is not less than thirty-six inches. This estimate has enabled them to calculate that nearly thirteen hundred thousand million of metric tons of rain fall every day, or fifteen million tons of rain a second. We are glad to note, thanks be to Nature, the rain doesn't all fall in the same place at the same time.
The average p~rson in breathing uses only about oneseventh of his lungs. The other six-sevenths are filled most of the time with what is called residual air. Naturally, as the air remains at the bottom of each lung, it becomes vitiated by its stay there and does much harm. A trained runner can draw into his lungs from one hundred to one hundred and fifty more cubic inches . bf air than the person of average lung capacity. "A word to the wise" should be sufficient, thus

What was once known as the Seven Wonders of the World-the Pyramids of Egypt, Pharos of Egypt, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Diana at Ephesus, Statue of Jupiter by Phidias, Mausoleum of Artemisia and Colossus of Rhodes-are now called the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, while for the Seven Wonders· of the Middle Ages we have the Coliseum of Rome, Catacombs of Alexandria, Great Wall of China, Stonehenge, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Porcelain Tower of N ankin and the Mosque of St. Sophia in Constantinople. No less· wonderful, and to our way of thinking, much more valuable to human beings, are the Seven Wonders of the modern world-the telephone, antiseptics, antitoxins, radium, wireless, aeroplane, spectrum, analysis, X-rays.
There is a queer little animal found in Australia named the cuscus. It is very sly and hides by hanging head downward among the leaves of a tree, gripping a branch with its tail. As its fur is just the color of dry leaves it may be easily mistaken for a big leaf or a piece of dry fruit. The cuscus has a pouch on the underside in which it carries its young, while its long tail is one of the most wonderful instruments in animal anatomy, serving both as hand and foot.
A DAY DREAM
From New York to Portland is quite a long way; Running the distance never would pay. Attempting to walk it would be out of all reason; Nothing could tempt me to commit such treason, Knowing what I know about walking the ties, Lying in haystacks with unclosed eyes. I awake from my dream of happiness and bliss; Now I'm back inthe school-room and haven't been missed.

She finished after two hours with the perspiration on her forehead. What noise was that? She listened, but heard only the crack of the dying embers and the wh~stling of the wind at intervals, heaving like the breath of a giant.
Glancing at the clock she saw it was ten. She always retired at nine. Turning the lamp low, she started to climb the stairs. Half-way she paused a moment. Strange, wasn't it how the story had been of a woman alone in a house? If a~yone had told her she was afraid she would have laughed with scorn. Hadn't she stood it for thirty years and never thought of fear?
She started on up, but suddenly heard a knock at the front door. Opening it with trembling hands, she beheld the butcher-waiting with a bill. He was such a meek little man! Who else would have waited thirty years for an answer to a proposal? Amanda Brown was never so glad to see anyone in her life. Long ago she had read the Illiad at school and now it flashed across her mind that Hector must have been very much like this butcher: so brave and courageous.
Upon climbing the stairs again her thougths turned to her money. Before she got into bed she stooped and looked under-to see if the floor was dusty. She repeated, "A penny sav~d is a penny earned," "Dimes make dollars," and fell
asleep. She awoke at four, after a horrible dream in which
ghosts pursued her and she fled with her money-filled stockings. "I won't stay in this house any longer. It's haunted," she declared. She determined to visit her niece that day.
Upon arising she prepared for her journey. She attired herself in her simple, stiff clothes and carried her carpet bag in one hand and the caged parrot in the other. The cat was to be cared for by a neighbor. She didn't get to see ~he butcher before she left. She departed at 6 a. m. and arrived at Chicago at 6 p. m. She had had no idea the world was that large. But now to find her relatives.
The Browns lived in a beautiful part of the city. Their own mansion was surrounded by others as handsome. May, the niece, had just started up the stairs to dress for dinner

when she glanced from the window and saw a strange scene. A middle-aged woman, shabbily dressed, was standing staring at the house in open-eyed astonishment. Her hat was on one side of her head and with her dirty bag and quarrelsome parrot she looked a picture of despair.
Amanda Brown thought it must be a hotel. One family could never live in a place like that. Anyway, they hadn't any more money than she had. She repeated, "Willful waste makes woeful want," gained courage and mounted the steps. The maid took her to her niece. The greeting was rather incoherent on both sides. While she was being shown to her room May was informing the family that a maiden aunt, Miss Brown, a personage of whose existence she had previously been ignorant, had come to pay them a visit.
In her room the "maiden aunt" was trying to collect her thoughts. She had never expected to find so much wealth and splendor. Then, too, she had learned that her brother was almost insane with worry from his financial condition and had grown old prematurely.
At dinner the conversation was upon subjects of which she was entirely ignorant, but it finally turned to ghosts and she listened with interest. "I could tell them a story that would beat all that," she thought, but kept still.
She realized that she was treated with cold politeness, but at the same time she knew she wasn't wanted. She was different and they were ashamed of her.
That night she thought things out. Money wasn't everything. See what it had brought her brother to. She determined to leave next day. She preferred the worst kind of ghosts to this. When she and her brother were young their ambitions had been much the same to procure as much money as possible. They had both saved all of their lives and neither were happy. "So I'm going to see how it feels to do some good with money," she added grimly, and fell asleep.
True to her resolution, she left early in the morning with her bag and parrot, but at the store she bought a vali.se and some new clothes. "A bunch of violets would look nice," she thought, and so bought some in spite of the parrot dolefully

Have you ever lived in a roomy old farm-house with stretches of wide plains on one side and the dark, mysterious pine woods on the other? Have you sat on the hearth rug in front of the ruddy coals and popped the little yellow kernels until you had a great snowy heap beside you? Wasn't there a pan of big red-cheeked pippins too? But oh! how you shivered when the wind, whistling down the wide old chimneys, and through the nooks and crevices in the old house seemed to verify the ghost and Indian stories told by grandfather.
Do you remember how you crept close to father and slipped your little hand in his great, warm one, when he told of the storms at sea? How the wind would pile the waves, tipped with mermaidens' hair, up, up, until it seemed the great ship was in a deep ravine; then the cold rush of the water as it swept over the decks? And didn't he tell you that the wind, whistling through the rigging, sounded like Sicilian sirens ? ·

fer~_d with her plans. She thought that he was exceedingly clumsy and awkward.
She tried every way she could think of to keep him out of the way when she had company, but her plans for so doing could never be carried out. For several days before New Year's Ruth had been thinking of what she would do with George, because she knew that her beau would come that night.
Her beau was very tall and fairly good looking, although to a city person he would look very countryfied and good for nothing.
She tried every way she could think of to get rid of George before this. So she concluded that she would have to send him to one of the neighbors. She arranged it with the neighbors so that he would not have to be home that night, and she would have peace. On New Year's evening Ruth sent George away a half an hour before she expected her guest.
The neighbors showed George where his room was and asked him if he wanted to go to bed. He said "Yes," but all the time he knew he didn't, so when he was alone he wondered what he would do. He began to look around and he found a book on ghost stories. He sat down and read it. When he had finished it everybody in the house was asleep and he began to get scared and homesick. He thought he would creep out and go home and no one would know the difference. He made the way short by cutting through the fields. He didn't get very far until he found his black cat sitting on the fence. He caught it and took it home.
His father heard him and when George told him what the trouble was his father gave him a white blanket and told him to go upstairs and roll the blanket around him and go to sleep. His father never thought that there was no flooring upstairs.
George took the blanket and went upstairs. He crawled along the beam until he came to the corner. He rolled the blanket ar.ound him and with the cat in his arms he lay down. He found it hard to go to sleep lying on a rafter but fi. nally he did. '

In the meantime while Ruth was waiting for her beau Pin Head Pete, a happy go-lucky young fellow, so called be~ cause his resemblance to the comic supplements of the Sunday Oregonian, came sauntering in to see how Ruth was. He sat down on the couch with Ruth, and when her fellow came he only looked in the window and went away.
Ruth and Pin Head Pete were sitting on a couch in the corner below where George was sleeping. Ruth was yawning and wishing he would go. It was almost twelve o'clock and he was telling her a ghost story. In the story a ghost appeared at midnight. Pin Head Pete said this just as the clock struck twelve and when the clock struck twelve George rolled over, and down through the plaster he came.
He landed on top of Ruth and Pin Head Pete. His black cat stuck on Pin Head Pete's head for a few minutes. As soon as George came to himself and knew what he was doing he wrapped his long white blanket around him and ran out of the room as fast as he could, and the cat followed, but more slowly than George did. Both Ruth and Pin Head Pete stared after him, but they were so scared that they didn't move for some time, and when they did Pin Head Pete moved first. He moved out the door and as he went he said that he would never come back because he believed that there were ghosts and black cats in that house.
As soon as George got to the kitchen his father took the cat and put it outside and told George to get in bed and pretend as if nothing had happened. George did this, but he didn't go to sleep very quickly because he was scared himself.
Ruth was scared, but as soon as Pin Head Pete was go11e she went out in the kitchen where her parents were and asked them if anything came out there that looked like a ghost. They said "No" and could hardly keep from laughing. Ruth went in George's room and saw him in bed. When she got back in the kitchen both her mother and father were laughing as hard as they could. Ruth wanted to know what the joke was and when she found out she laughed and said, "Well, George was good for something after all."

THE MORNING SKY Night passed with moon and stars and dews, Then Nature came with sky born hues; Clear and distinct a belt of blue.
Across the northern sky she drew Broad and cold it stood away From the deep heaven of hazy gray.
Then painting in a softer style, A strip of yellow, pensive, while
Its misty beauty slowly grew Across the very heart of blue.
Then lovingly she left it there, A sermon painted .in the air.
In all, three belts of color Nature made, And all were odd, of most peculiar shade. The highest and the lowest were of blue, The middle, yellow, loveliest of the two. A misty, dainty yellow favored most Of Nature, whose dyes have yet Excelled all earthly boast.

~ur \!ten QCommanbment~ 1. There shall be no other High School but Franklin. 2. Thou shalt honor thy principal and thy teachers and
give them great respect, that thy grades may be high and thy days may be short in the school-room.
3. Thou shalt love thy schoolmate, even better than thyself, if said schoolmate be of the opposite sex.
4. Five days shalt thou labor hard, thou and all thy classmates, lest at the end thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting.
5. Thou shalt not kill time within the walls of the Franklin Hight School. It is a grievious offense and resteth most heavily upon thy mind.
6. Thou shalt not steal thy schoolmate's ideas, for verily I say, they cometh hard and are much to be desired.
7. Thou shalt not lie. If thou know est not the question propounded thee, sit thee in truthful silence.
8. Thou shalt not swear; except thou swearest by thy own High School, and thy own teachers and thy own basketball team.
9. Thou shalt not bear witness against the iniquities of a larger classmate lest he waylay thee after school hours and most severely chastise thee.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy fellow-student's possessions. Neither his lunch nor his tie pin; his best girl nor his purple socks.

THE WAIL OF ANDROMACHE (Specimen of the Illiad in Rhymed Verse)
Thus the fair Andromache cried: "Oh most beloved of husbands thou wert,
Woe is me ! So young hast thou died The very heart of me sorely is hurt. Thy wife will join thee soon, I fear. And since thy noble soul has ft.own Babes and their mothers make sad moan; To our cries for mercy, no Greek will give ear, The foe will bear us both away, To his far home, ere many a day, And mayhap some soldier will seize thy son To kill him; remembering a deed thou hast done. Our child a slave to some Greek shall be made, Oh wert thou alive to give us aid! For since thou, its chief defense, has been taken It will not be long ere our ramparts be shaken. And soon the Greeks will swarm o'er our walls And I, for thy sake, must bear what befalls Remembering that thou dids't not complain When thou wert weary in body and brain. In thy parents and me lies the heaviest sorrow, Never more for thee shall there dawn a tomorrow. Oh why "dids't thou not stretch forth thy hand
Ere thou wentest forth to that shadowy land And say for me, to quiet all my fears One last word that I might think of thee with tears?

In viewing the requirements that make for a success in the selection of a man to head a growing High School, it is always necessary to make a choice that will evenly balance from two standpoints; that of the parents and patrons of the city and from the viewpoint of the student body.

The School Board in selecting Sheldon Franklin Ball to organize and carry on the Franklin High School realized his entire fitness to satisfy both of these essentials.
Principal Ball has taught continuously for twenty-four years of his forty-five years of life, and had previo11sly equipped himself for teaching by attending two normals, one college and the University of Chicago.
Before coming to Portland Mr. Ball had been at the head of three high schools as principal-the Central High School at Toledo, Ohio, with eighteen hundred students, and the high schools at Danville and Columbus City, Iowa.
Since coming to Portland nine years ago Mr. Ball has been called to teach summer school in several universities of the west and has taught two summers each at the Oregon Agricultural College and Holmes Business College, and one summer each at the University of Montana and the University of Oregon. During this nine years he has delivered 450 lectures at institutions outside of those he has given in Portland.
While this class of equipment is of value to the student body, and causes respect and emulation, there is another element that is making Mr. Ball an unqualified success. This is his comradeship and personal interest. He is never too busy to aid a student by individual attention, whatever may be the demand, and a bond of sympathy is building that will constantly grow throughout all time to come in the large school that will mass in the southeast part of Portland with him at its head.
HURRAH!
Hurrah for Franklin High School! Hurrah for Principal Ball! Hurrah for the student-body! Hurrah for the teachers · all ! Hurrah for the Franklin "Post"! Nurtured with such care! Hurrah for the editor-in-chief! And the "staff" that's always there!

FOOTBALL The football team which represented Franklin High for
the season of 1914 was the first one to be turned out by our new school. Under the instructions of our "heady" coach, L. A. Dillon, the season has proved to be a most successful one. Out of eight games played five were won. This year the team was too. light to enter the interscholastic league, but next season we hope to enter a team that will be well up in the race for high honors. We also hope that our same coach will be with us to pilot our team to victory next year. The men who received their letters are Saulcer, Powell, Barbour, Davis, Brown, Reinhart, Bishoff, Tucker, Mackenzie, Fry, Post, Turtledove, Wilson and Gilmore, all of whom will be with us when the season of 1915 opens.
BASKE'fBALL Franklin High made its first appearance in the inter
scholastic league when our basketball quintet met the Washington High toss'ers. None of our men were experienced, and considering this handicap, the team did good work. Five practice games were played and only one resulted in a victory for Franklin.
Coach Hoskin has selected the following men to make the team: Barbour, Brown and Post, forwards; Captain Powell, center; Mackenzie, Read, Reinhart and Collins, guards.

Monday, December 21, Mr. Ball spoke in Eugene on "Geography" and "The Value of a Commercial Training in the Higher Grammar Grades." We are sure that after Mr. Ball's speech the grades will receive that training.
Mr. Parks spoke in Eugene Wednesday, December 23, on the "Value of Stenography." We know of no one more competent than he to address an audience on this subject.
A Latin exhibit, prepared by the pupils of the Franklin High School under the direction of Miss Juliann Roller, was opened at Franklin Tuesday evening. The exhibit has been made for the purpose of answering concretely the question, "What is the use of Latin?" It consists of eighty large cards of illustrative material showing the extent to which Latin is used at the present time in all professions. More material will be added from time to time and the exhibit will become a permanent feature of Franklin.-School Bulletin.

The club has been named the "Sorosis" and will meet the first and third Wednesday of ~ach month. This is a splendid theme of study for both girls and boys of high school. The poise that is born of perfect confidence, of sureness in speech or action, is as necessary an asset in the business world as in the home, and as useful as grammar or arithmetic.

Did you ever visit the Domestic Science Department of the Franklin High School? If you believe the girls it is one of the most interesting of the school. There they learn the essentials of practical cookery combined with theory, which helps to make the "reason why" clear to them.
The lessons begin with study of the different processes and principles of food preparation, including food economy and care of left-overs and waste material. Practical application is made of the facts concerning the various foods, such as. eggs, milk, cheese, fats, sugars, fruits, vegetables and meats. Of course the girls are also taught the proportions for bread, muffins, biscuit, cake and pastry, together with the best methods of mixing and correct way of baking each one.
Later in the course the food principles, protein, carbohydrate, fats, mineral salts and water are considered in relation to their use in the body and the amount of each required to keep the body in a healthful condition. When the girls have reached this point they are ready to take up the cost and purchase of food and learn to serve economical and dainty breakfasts, luncheons and dinners.
During this last semester the first term class have served two "community breakfasts" ·for nine and six cents a plate, and two "community luncheons" for ten cents a plate. The class was made into two divisions that took turns serving each other. On January 14 they served a muchappreciated fifteen cent luncheon to fourteen teachers, the school secretary, Mrs. Ward, and the principal, Mr. Ball.
34

Did you ever visit the Domestic Science Department of the Franklin High School? If you believe the girls it is one of the most interesting of the school. There they learn the essentials of practical cookery combined with theory, which helps to make the "reason why" clear to them.
The lessons begin with study of the different processes and principles of food preparation, including food economy and care of left-overs and waste material. Practical application is made of the facts concerning the various foods, such as. eggs, milk, cheese, fats, sugars, fruits, vegetables and meats. Of course the girls are also taught the proportions for bread, muffins, biscuit, cake and pastry, together with the best methods of mixing and correct way of baking each one.
Later in the course the food principles, protein, carbohydrate, fats, mineral salts and water are considered in relation to their use in the body and the amount of each required to keep the body in a healthful condition. When the girls have reached this point they are ready to take up the cost and purchase of food and learn to serve economical and dainty breakfasts, luncheons and dinners.
During this last semester the first term class have served two "community breakfasts" ·for nine and six cents a plate, and two "community luncheons" for ten cents a plate. The class was made into two divisions that took turns serving each other. On January 14 they served a muchappreciated fifteen cent luncheon to fourteen teachers, the school secretary, Mrs. Ward, and the principal, Mr. Ball.

"If your mother bought four baskets of grapes, the dealer's price being a qt1arter for a basket, how much money would the purchase cost her?" asked the new teacher.
"You never can tell," answered Tommy, who was at the head of his class, "Ma's great at bargaining!"
"I can't stay long," said the chairman of the committee from the colored church. "I just come to see if yo' wouldn't join de mission band."

An Englishman, fond of boasting of his ancestry, took a coin from his pocket and pointing to the head engraved on it said: "My great-great-grandfather was made a lord by the king whose picture you see on this shilling."
"What a coincidence!" said his Yankee companion, who at once produced another coin. "My great-great-grandfather was made an angel by the Indian whose picture you see on this cent!"
"If you and I-just you and!Should laugh instead of worry. If we should grow-just you and !Kinder and sweet-hearted, Perhaps in some near by-and-by A good time might get started. If you and I-just you and!Should laugh instead of worry."
It was opening night of the season, and at the end of the first act a man leaped hurriedly to his feet.
"I heard an alarm of fire!" he said to his wife. "I must go and see where it is."
It happened that her hearing was less acute, and she made way for him in silence as he disappeared.
"It wasn't fire," he said, on his return. "Nor water, either," said his wife coldly.
"Oh, my friends! there are some spectacles that one never forgets!" cried the lecturer, after giving a description of an accident. •
"Ahern!" said an old lady. "I'd like to know where they sells 'em."
"What's all the row over on the next block?" a reporter asked of a policeman.

On a recent declamation day in a New Jersey school a promising young idea shot off the subjoined:
"Our yaller hen has broke her leg, Oh never more she'll lay an egg; The brindle cow has gone plumb dry, And sister Sal has eat a pie; This earth is full of sin and sorrowWe're born today and die tomorrow."
A friend of the family had been summoned to testify, much against his will, as to certain domestic disturbances in a Chicago household.
"You saw these blows administered?" asked the counsel. "Yes, sir," replied the witness. "Did you see the beginning of the quarrel between this
man and his wife?" "I did." "When was it?" "Six years ago." "Six years ago! How is that possible?" "I was a guest at their wedding," said the witness.
A minister meeting a neighbor's boy who had just come out of a fight on New Year's day with a fearful black eye, put his hand on the boy's head and said:
"My boy, I pray you may never fight again and that you may never receive another black eye."
"That's all right," said the boy. "You go home· and pray over your own kid. I gave him two of 'em."
"Miss Edith," asked a young man, "may I ask you, please not to call me Mr. Durand?"
"But," said Miss Edith, with great ·coyness, "our acquaintance is so short, you know. "Why should I not call you that?"
"Well," said the young man, "chiefly because my name is Dupont."

A four-year-old asked his mother: "Mama, who made the lions and elephants?"
"God, my dear." "And did He make the flies too ?" "Yes, my dear." The little fellow pondered: "Fiddlin' work, seems to me

A miner suffering with dyspepsia one day consulted a doctor and took his prescription to a druggist.
"Well, how much?" he asked when it was made up. "Let's see," said the druggist. "It's a dollar-ten for the
medicine, and fifteen cents for the bottle. That makes--" He hesitated, afraid he might have forgotten something,
and the miner said impatiently: "Well, hurry up, boss. Put a price on the cork and let us
know the worst."

Dear Editor: What shall I do? Each morn when I visit my hen-house I find two or three fowls on their backs, their feet sticking straight up and their souls wandering through fields Elysian. What is the matter?
The prosaic editor replied by return mail: Dear Friend: The principal trouble with your hens
seems to be that they are dead. There isn't much that you can do, as they will probably be that way for some time.
