elected .r ,member of the Amer1can

This is the most important association in
0~1"country, as it ittcludes all of the great
authorities on historical subjects. This is
;t high hottor and complimentary to our
principal. The American Historical Association "i'~s organized at Saratoga in 1884
and incorporated 'by act of Congress in 1889.
Some of its former presidents have been
Hottorables-""Andrew D. White, George
Bancroft, George F. Hoar, .John Jay and
Professors Winship, C. 1\. Adams, James
Angell and other well known men. This
association has done much to develop the
recent stud of American history.

The Senior young men have been doing'
manual training under P-rofessorPeavy duri~ the rall tert11. The training 'of the eye
and the hand supplements in a judicious
way mind training, thus educating the
whole -man. Purely mechanical work has
little valu~ as intellectual work but when
blended with theory, as it is h~re, there is
much value in it.

Music Hall is crowded these days with
the many students studying music and elocution. The two departmen'ts jQintly use this
elegant little hall. Miss Reynolds, the
head of the ~usic department, haslrecently
fitted up her office, so th~t, now sh.e has an
elegant suite of rooms. She is well ,supplied

ers, Miss Schillinger and Miss Wade, were
the greatest letter-writers in the Normal
school, because they caught them so often
sitting in retired spots, reading letters.
When one receives many letters, many re_plies must,be written, and this suggests that
there must be a number of correspondents,
as such charming young _womenwould not
waste their sweetnesson their own sex, The
query arises, "How many young men'l1ave
heart disease on their account 7" This is
respectfully referred to the young ladies'

T~e following psychologlcal. lesson was
recently attempted by one of our Senior
young men. He WCj.S
endeavoring to teach
the difference bet.wee~sensation and perception. Miss Reynolds, who hails from the
land of oranges and alligators, was present.
The young teacher was making heroic efforts to emphasize the distinction.
At last.
by way of illustration, he said: "Suppose
you were to see Miss Reynolds sitting- about
ten feet up, between the'boughs of an orange
tree, listlessly eating oranges with her1eft
hand and clandestinely reading a dilapidated volume of "Don Quixote," would it
be a sensation or a perception 7" Judging
from the countenances of the pupils, it was
a sensation.

Our school was well represented in the
~panish war, although we do not have a
full roster. One of our boys, George Barrows, '91, seems to have had the mpst dangerous experience of all so far heard from.
He was among those soldiers that were
taken to Manila and his company was in
the thick of the fight when Manila was
captured, July 31st. He was wounded at
this time and by some mistake he was
reported among the ~illed. We quote from
a lett~r c~ncerning him, which was written
b~ his sister., Anna Barron, '91, to her
friend and schoolmate, Miss Martha Pond,
:91, of DeKalb,\ Ill.

Recently, Prof. Dewing established a olear-"

artist, the more they esteem his work. A
movement is now on foot to start a class in
oil painting.
In all lines of artistic work,
whether modeling, drawing or 'work in oil
Professor Most is primus inter pares.

The skillful hand of Miss McC~oskey,
the superintendent of our Training Department, has brought the Model school up to a
high standard of efficiency. She fully understands the pedagogical principles underlying all true primary work, and has the
skill to apply them. She has completely
won the hearts of all her girls and boys, and
they esteem her accordingly. She is ably
seconded by her first assistant, Miss Wade,
and also by Miss Reynolds and Mr. Most.

One night in Octobe~, just th~ season
when Plymouth Rock roosters are ripe and
in good voice, Don Harrison, our chicken
fancier, entertained one of his pe!s in his
room in South Hall. The next morni~g all
the boys in the hall were up with the dawn.
Chanticleer, notwithstanding his being enveloped in a sheet, anticipated the coming
day, and in loud and shrill note, he roused
the boys. An alarm of fire would not have
raised them quicker. The rooster, innC?cent
of the many impre,cations heaped upon him
by the sleepy heads that were roused too
early, kept up his shrill clarion 1,1ntilall the
roosters in the country were answering their
mate. Don has- been told in forcible a,nd
