it had to be postponed. Why not make"'arrangements'with some high school

outside 'the' state; ,not necessarily Coun­cll Bluffs, for an Athletic meet to occurbetween our Field Day and the Ihter­scholastic State meet at Lincoln in May.The a'. H. S. should strive to conquer,the leading higil school iri other statesas well as in their own. The A. A.should consider this matter at once.

EVIDENTLY the editorial which ad­, vocated the forming of a musical

club of some sort in the a. H. S. hasbeen considered, and we - are glad tostate that material development is, nownoticeable. The Seniors have organ­ized a glee club; the boys of the differ­ent' classes have organized a string or­chestra, which promises to be the best,the school has ever known. The REG­ISTER' welcomes these new clu bs and,trusts that other classes will follow theexample and start~imilar clubs~

X

THREE cheers for the A. A.! At last. we have succeeded in the organiza­

tion of an Athletic Association worthy ofthe a. H. S. Through the special ef­forts of Mr. B~nedict and the officers 'ofthe A. A. this was brought about. Thereare at present, six hundred members andwe hope before another month the num­ber will be increased to seven hundred.No high school in the west' can boast ofan assqciation as large' as this. Let uskeep 'on increasing our' membershipuntil every pupil in the a. H. S. shallbecome a member of the association.The REGISTER wishes the A. A. everysuccess and assures ~ its hearty co-opera­.tion in all its undertakings.

'[HE Y. M. C. A. have offered a spe­cial rate membership in the Asso­

ciation to 'the members of the O. H. S~

. on condition that twenty boys will go inas a club. There are now some forty orfifty of the a. H. S. boys in the gymna~/sium, and those who join with this clubwill find plenty of company among their.associates there.. Then again, it is agood way to begin training f~r the spring'meets. Prof. Barnes has l{indly con­sented to take particular notice of thosewho are training in the gymnasium forthe High School me~ts, and we aresure no one will regret the purchase of'a ticket at this rate-$5.00.

IN looking over the exchanges the ed­itor notes that the criticisms on the

.HIGH SCHOOL RE$ISTER are confined tothe Literary department. "The pupilsand teachers have been aware of thisfact, and little heed has been paid tothe numerous urgent requests of the ed­itor to hand in stories., Out of a school'of over thirteen hundred pupils thereare surely tvv'o who have literary geniusenough to compose articles for themonthly 'issue of the school paper. Aboard of supervisors has been selectedby the editor, composed of three of ourmost scholarly teachers, and it will'betheir duty to look over all stories hand­ed in and to publish only those that arethe best. Those not printed will berecognized in the editorials. . ,

Many high schools in the .east have wellequipped gymnasiums, 'but this is, trueof very few in the west.

There comes .an­other with a flat, sunken' chest, ' andshort, quick breath. Here c<:>me's an­other up stairs all tired out-and breath­ing with difficulty. He notices that thegeneral walk of the pupils is ve~y'slow.

In some pupils these flat chests growto such an extent that the~ are com­pelled to leave school. There'are manycauses for these defects, the 'mas:t im·portant of which is lack of physicalrecreation. After school has dismissedyou will see the students'starting for,their respective homes at a pace exceed­ingly slow, and which does not givemuch more activity to the blood thandoes studying or . reciting. At noon,when the body should be refreshed fromthe cramped positionOithas occupied allinorning, and the blood should bedrawn from the brain so as to, refreshit, and when plenty of fres,h air shouldbe taken in to purify the sluggish blood,the pupils ramble about the halls,;or -,seat themselves in the assembly or reci- I

I;:

Is a Gymriasium Necessary in the. Equipment of a High School?

T·HI.S is a question, :that" i~ of comp~r- .atively late origin. .

For the iast three centu!ies it hasbeen the great aim of all educa;tors todiscover the ,best methods ot training,both moral and mental nature. Theyhave taken advantage of the educationalsystems, even further back than I those ofancient Greece, for improving the pres­ent one.

. But, in stUdying the ancient Greekmetl~od of education an im portan t partis overlooked. That is the physicaltraining. Every Greek who attendedthe Lyceum or other public edu.cationalinstitutions was required to spend atleast two hours each day in ~unning,

Jumping,. wrestling and thro~ing thediscus. This method was carried outto a great extent in Rome. After thefall of the Romam Empire in the westphysical cuI ture began -to decline, andby' the' beginning of the Eleventh cen­tury it was almost entirely lost sight of,except by a few rich 'noblemen. Fromthen un til ahout a century agQ physicalculture was unknown.

Near the beginning of the last centurygymnasiums were established in severalof the largest colleges in the United

;,States, and the number has been stead­ilyin'creasing, until at present there 'are'few colt"egeswithout,therIL, But this isnot.·the case ,with the .... high scho,ols.

Florence was a young lady, who was.popular with' many others besides these­two rivals, and consequently her pro­gx;a~,was rapidly being filled; so thatby',tli'e time Ha~ry'c~m~.to her all thedances were gone-1mt one~and thatthe last. \Vould she give him this.dance? Yes.' And he smiled with grimsatisfaction at the though of his owngood fortune in getting to ~er in time­for it, as he placed his name on hercard opposite the said dance.

The evening wore on" at least ,forHarry Staunton. The tiine had come­for the one dance to which he was look­ing forward with eager .anticipations..It wasagentle, dreamy waltz; and afterdancing a while he suggested that theysit out the remainder. she :cOnsentedamicably; and retiring from the mainhall he conducted her to a divan in thebalcony, just outside, screened fromthe view of the promenaders by a can-

- opied curtain. Here, while the softstrains of the waltz were being waftedfrom the ball rooUl, with fervid elo­quence, he poured forth the story of hisaffection for her-how he would always.care for 'her and endeavor to make ,her.happy-ending with a passionate pro­posal. She lingered a little, at first, but·as'she gazed down into his face, tense­with the agony of awaiting her reply,.she could not have the heart to say'"no." And just R few' minutes beforethe dance closed ,a happy couple re-

, joined the whirling dancers. .] oe had in'tended to' carry out the

. come in contact. If, when at the dub,a porter would courteously .bring him amagazine or· newspaper to· read, hewould, throwitasid~ with an angryscowl. It was evident that he was 'en­tirely 'dissatisfied. Thus he. brooded'over·what·'he considered his flagrantwrongs, with angry thoughts, until thecay of the hop; and one can wellimag- 'ine his state of mind when that timearrived. ',He even went so far, though',probably unconsciously, as to be dis­courteous to Miss' Merton, who w~s

rather abashed at this kind of conduct,coming as it did, from one whose wontwas to be extremely gay and gallant.

.Joe had Miss Elorence'sname on hiscard opposite the fir3t and last dances.He had planned to rather pave' the~ayfor,the important question durin,g the

, first dance and to sit out the last one,.' after having danced awhile,and then to

try his fate. His face became wreathedin smiles and his heart beat lightly, asthe happy t~ought of what might bepossible, came tq him..

Harry seemed to know instinctivelythat unless he did something decisivenow,the opportunity would be lost for-

. ever, 'and with it all chance for his fu­ture'happiness. Joe, who was twirlinghis program 'by the string, accidentlydropped it as Harry was passing, a'ndas, he picked it up for Joe he thought to'bimself that he had more reasons thanmere .forced' courtesy for .doing it, for hegave ,a qllick: scrlltinizing glance at it,~ncJ:~~\y,f~r,whatdances Joe had .

Pathos in Poetry.

AMONG the characteristics' assignedt6 poets we find none so distinct- .

ive as melancholy. A low, plaintiveminor, flowing tenderly a Ion g the

·~treams of a beautiful poem, appeals to,'the soul as nothing else will. "Our·sweetest songs are those that tell ofsaddest thoughts," says Shelly, and this

'underlying cloud gave the key to some· of the greatest elegies and poems writ­ten, among them Milton's "Lycidas"and Tennyson's' 'In Memoriam. Thereis "'II Penserosa," that eloquent song ofMilton'S, pulsing with a beauty, inter-

'mingled with a sorrow, which seems tosuggest the wail of a great organ andmake one think of n'obler and better

There are poets who hear the moan-'ing of the winds ~nd mourning of thewaters only. To them life is one longdirge and earth's brightest blossomsf~rni in to. funeral wreathes; the effectof this kind of sorrow being depressingand unwholesome in the extreme. Butthe noble spirit of sorrow which rings

There is a clause in the Preamble tothe Constitution of the Athletic Asso­ciation of our schools, which states itsintention to promote athletics to asgreat extent as possi ble. Therefore,this association should do its. best toequip a gymnasium in our school, bothfor the general health and developmentof the pupils, and for a ~lace in wh,ichto train the athletes for the meets.Like all 'other undertakings, it cannotbe' carried out in one week or even onemonth, but before the beginning ofthe next term, if everybody shows theright spirit, we ought to have a smallgymnasium, in connection with the newhigh school.
