States," is one that is purely politicaland has bceri much discussed. Still,it is very good in point of argument,and the sides are very evenly divided."There is ample material obtainable on.either side which may be of benefit tosome, but excludes to a large extentthe benefit of original thought. Letthe debaters get to work right away,and not put this off until the last min­ute. This advice may possibly applyalso to those who have been contem­plating orations or recitations. Therewill be plenty to do at the last; all thetime obtainable is needed.

THE recent visit of CongressmanMercer filled all the cadets with cheerand hope. The special inspectionand drill was very satisfactory to him.The fine appearance of the boys intheir new uniforms, the good showingmade in the batalion, and the com­pany movements were higly compli­mented. But ':Mr. Mercer was notslow to appreciate our needs. Ourluck of guns was forcibly impressedon him, and we may be sure that thiswill receive his earliest attention.

But cadets, note! There is one im­portant thing in the equipage of thisbattalion that is bei ng sadly over­looked-a flag. All this preparationis being made while forgetting ourmain object. Forgetting that this in­struction is for the development ofpatriotic citizenship; forgetting thatall this training is for the support andpreservation of the old flag; forgettingthat the old Stars and Stripes shouldbe dearer than all else beside. Nowis the time to strike. Give the mat­ter a good consideration. 'I'here aremany ways that a flag could be ob-

rained. Many times some of theleading firms in cities have made adonation to the schools. A competi­tive drill at the end of the year for theflag would give the companies some­thing worth striving for, and mightarouse an interest in the drill thatwould have a very telling influence.

IT would seem by the way everyoneis talking of "How much he got,"that the whole purpose of school lifeis to get a high mark and pass a goodexamination. Some scholars seem toprepare their lessons for the recitationas if they were coming to somedreaded floggil~g, and if they gothrough with a fair recitation or hap­pen to get an easy place, they comeout chuckling how lucky they were.Besides, the regular' 'cratn ' and men­tal agony before an examination, isgenerally something terrible. Now,this is anything but an education.'I'ime spent in this way is nearly asbad as wasted. But some one says,"Of course, I want as high a mark aspossible. No; it should be, "I wantto learn as much as possible." Dothis, and the marks will take care ofthemselves. A mark is the teacher'sestimate of the work done. No twopersons see things in exactly the samelight; this may account for the differ­ences in the standard of marking. Ifthe marks are not so high an estimateas the work done, do not complain;all are liable to err. It were far bet­ter so than that a high mark shouldbe given for poor work; but the teach­er's judgment is liable to be far betterthan the scholar's. Graduation hon­ors mav be the cause of much strifeon the ·part of some, but this shouldbe of minor importance. Not vainglory, but real knowledge should bethe desire of the true student.

"BIG DAVE'S" CHRISTMAS.BY MISS DOROTHY HOLLA:-<D, '95.

It was the day before Christmas. It'had snowed all the previous night,.and now the sun, low in the southern:sky, made the snow sparkle as though<covered with jewels, but the feeble:sunlighf did not warm the chill air on·this December morning. Neverthe­less the office of the Pinery Mau'sHome glowed with the warmth given'by a large wood fire in the sheet iron:stove.

. The landlord and a few cronies-were gathered about the stove andBill Sykes was thrilling the small.audience by a story of the "BigStorm 0' '49." He was interruptedby the opening of a door at the end of-the room, and a tall, powerfully built'bloude, Dave Swanson, who had just-descended the narrow stairs, entered.the room. He was dressed in a suit.made of red blankets, preparatory to~going "up ri ver." He threw a pair-of snow shoes on the floor and hispack upon' a chair as he said in aloud, clear voice, "\Val, boys, I'm off.Wish yer a merry Christmas." "Yer.aiut gain' to go in that air wintryway, be ye?" whined Johnny Peters,.as he threw another stick of wood onthe fire. "Now, 1 reckon thet iskinder sneakish just at Christmastime, tho' I 'don't take no stock inthet day. But kum, landlord, set usnp;. we'll drink to good luck,".auswered Big Dave, as he was usually-called.

The landlord hastened to the bar.and the others followed, only too:..~lad to accept the rough invitation."I'he landlord drained his' 'schooner"

and then said, as he wiped his mouthon his shirt sleeve:

"There ain't much sense in Christ­mas, but I kinder like a little extragrub then, a little turkey with dress­ing and gravy; they hed it back inMai ne, an' I 'spose I'IU sorter usedto it."

"Wal," said Dave, "them things'lldo fer wimmin folks, what's good'nough fer me the hull year round'sgood 'nough fer me on Christmas.But I mus' start. I wanter get a goodbit up the river 'fore night-"

Before he finished the outer dooropened far enough to admit a smallman and a big gust of icy air."Hullo, parson! ye've kUITl too latefer a glass; we've finished and I'dhate to trouble the landlord," andthen Dave's rough laugh and themilder ones of the others drownedParson Gray's voice.. When quietwas restored the little minister said,almost apologetically:

"I never take any drink, Mr.Swanson-no offense meant. I calledto ask you gentleman if you couldn'tcontribute a little toward buying aChristmas tree for the children of thechurch." "Ha, ha! 'Mr.!' 'gen-tlemen!' Really, '1\1r.' Parson, Ican't give yer nothing. It's mightyhard times, an' I 'spect them 'gentle­men ' feels about the same way , soye'd better move along."

T'he others were too much afraid ofthe spokesman to say anything and sothe little parson, quite silenced bythe woodsman, meekly bowed and de­parted, inwardly praying for strengthto instruct his wayward flock.

As the parson closed the door

Dave's laugh again made the raftersring, and he exclaimed, "Ain't hethe softest critter! " And then to aquestion of the landlord he answered,"I dunno but I will; a bottle 0' alco­hol's mighty nice company fer a loneman," and he pocketed the flask,paid his bill and, with a parting joke,left the tavern.

All day Big Dave traveled over thecrust on his trusty snow shoes. Hewas looking for unclaimed timberland for a mill, owner, and during theday followed the river in its coursethrough the vast pine forests of thatfar northern land. Towards night hewent inland and, selecting a spotdeep among the pines, built a fire andprepared his supper. When he fin­ished he dug a hole in the snow,crawled in and piled the snow overhimself, well knowing that it made awarm cover.

In the morning he started againand traveled steadily northward. Inthe afternoon he began to take fre­quent draughts from the bottle ofspirits. Already wearied by traveland cold, the alcohol had more thanthe ordinary effect. At last Big Davebegan to stagger, and with reelingsense, forgot the night's preparation.The darkness settled over the forest,the snow began to fall. For a while

, he struggled on, but finally, com­pletely stupefied, he fell unconsciousat the foot of a Norway pine.

Big Dave knew nothing more untilhe became dimly aware of a voice.He listened and heard a child say,"Wont you wakeup, mister, it'sChristmas morning. 1'111 going tohave a party. Won't you come to

1ny party?" The last was in a plead­ing tone that fully wakened the pros­trate man. He looked at the littlegirl. She was a quaint figure, closelyhuddled in an old plaid shawl. Aftera moment's scrutiny he said, "Bless.me, where'd you drop from?"

"I'm going to have a party. Mymother said I could ask the birds to>it, but guess you're nicer." Thenshe added persuasively, "We're goingto have pancakes to-day. Won't yoncome?" "What d'yer hev other'days?" "1\1ush now. We used to,haved potatoes, but they're frozen.""Dave began to feel "mighty softish ,some how," as he rudely expressedit, and as he stood up stiffly he said ," I'll go. Kunl along."

The little figure slipped her handitimidly into his and took him to a­

one-room, log cabin some rods to one­

side. As she pushed the door open"a poorly clad woman said pleasantly""Why, Mary, whom have you,brought." "SOlneone for our party. ".

The woman placed the only chairbeside the fire place and asked thestranger to be seated, ,while her heartsank as she thought how much itwould decrease her scanty provisionto feed so big a man. Awkwardly atfirst, but with kind intention, Davefound that the woman, Mrs. Bakcr,had been snowed up in the desolate:hut by the early arrival of winter;Escape might have been possible eventhen, but a few days after the firststorm her husband was .killed by a'falling tree. She buried him as wel las she could and then tried to makeprovisions last till spring, but even.this early in the season only a little

'corn meal and buckwheat remained.and starvation stared them in thelace.

Dave spent the day with them,:sharing the meagre meal. In the lateafternoon he asked Mary if KrisKringle had been to see her. " No,"the child replied. "Mother says thetrees are so thick she doen't think he-can find us, but if I'm good God willtake care of us and send me a Christ­.mas next year where Santa can find11S.' ,

Dave again had the sottish feeling,".and hastening out he soon returnedwith his pack of provisions andthrowing it on the table, said, "OleKris didn't ferget yer. He tol' meter bring along somethin' fer thet airrrice little gal up in the woods, andther'tis. Good-bye ter yer, I mus' bejoggin'. "

The door closed and Dave was on'his way back. The first thing he didwas to dash the bottle against a tree;then travelling rapidly he reached the:settlement in twenty-four hours. Hegave his comrades no reasons for his.return , and they dared not question'him. Meeting the little parson onthe street, to the latter's surprise hepulled out some money, handed it to'him, and said: "Here parson's the1110ney yer wanted. I reckon it's toolate for the tree but yer kin hev it allthe same;" and with that he strode.away leaving the preacher amazed.

In a few days Dave went "up-river" again and supplied the' 'littlegal" and her mother with more pro­vision. Mrs. Baker was deeply grate­ful and said thankfully, "I knew theLord would remember us."

Dave made frequent trips to the lit­tle log cabin that winter, and in thespring saw the inmates safely downthe r.iver.

From that Christmas the boisterouswoodsman was a better man andceased to scoff at the good, and thoughalways uncultured and rough, he didmuch good in an unobtrusive way.Surely a little child had led him.

MY TRIP ABROAD.MISS M. E. QUACKENBUSH.

Friday, July 13, we went to Wind­sor, twenty-one miles west of London,taking the cars at Paddington Station.It was a very pleasant ride, and as ithad rained during the morning, the airwas cool and fresh. We looked towardsStoke Pogis, where Gray wrote hisfamous ," Elegy, ' , and also towardsBurnham Beeches, and wished ,formore time, as the scenery is very pic­turesque.

Just north of Windsor is Eton Col­lege, and we saw a number of studentson the train. They are easily dis­tinguished by their short Eton jackets,broad collars and tall silk hats, andrepresent the wealth and aristocracyof England.

We were not fortunate in selectingour time for visiting Windsor; as theQueen was giving a luncheon to theMayor and other dignitaries of Lon­don, but we could see the castle whichcrowns a high hill, and went through·several r00111S. It was a great noveltyto an American to see all the trappingsof royalty, and the pompous coachmenin their velvet uniforms and powderedwigs. The band played '.'God Savethe Queen," and we sang mentally,

10 THE HIGH SCHOOL REGISTER. THE HIGH: SCHOOL REGISTER. II

of course, "My Country, 'tis of Thee. "We went back to our lodgings, how­ever, without getting a glimpse of theQueen.

The next day we visited Regent'sPark and Zoological Gardens. Thisis said to be one of the best places inwhich to study natural history, asthere are animals there from everypart of the world. We were in timeto see the seals fed and were surprisedat the intelligence they displayed.They seemed very fond of their keeperand would "speak" for their food.The snakes are fed every Friday, sowe missed that sight. From the Gar­dens we went to Madam Tussaud'sWax Works.

Years ago, when I was boarding atCol. Wilson's, in Sterling, Illinois, theColonel went abroad and he told somevery funny stories. One was his ex­perience at the Wax Works. Walk­ing around until he was tired he satdown beside an old gentleman whowas reading a paper. When he lookedup the Colonel made some remark,but receiving no answer, looked moreclosely at the person beside him andnoticed that just so often the figurelooked up from his paper and thenappeared to read again, and he knewit was one of the exhibits. So hecautioned me to be careful if I everwent there, and not to speak to any ofthe figures. I remembered this and

. went fully prepared not to be deceived.We first went to the Hall of Kingsand sawall around us English Mon­archs, 'from William the Conqueror toHenry VIII, surrounded by his sixwives. TJiey were all very good imi­atio ns of flesh and blood, and one felt

almost rude in standing before them.and looking at them so closely. The­next room was the Grand Saloon, andwe saw Garibaldi, Parnell, ]enn)rLind, John Bright, Shakespeare ,Luther, Abraham Lincoln , GeneralGrant, ex-President Harrison anclmany others. Coming to a policeman:standing in the center of the room we'stopped and examined him criticallyand said that the artist had certainlydone well; the flesh was very real, the­hair and eyes were good, and no one­but an expert would have ta ken hirnto be wax. What was our surprise to­see him walk off with a twinkle in his.eye. Vie were glad no one knew us".and for a few minutes felt quite crest­fallen. After that I hardly dared lookat anyone or anything, for it was im-­possible to tell which was wax andwhich was real; but we had our cata-­logues, and when we saw a numberon the floor at the foot of an image we­knew it was safe to examine it. There­was one old lady sitting on a bench.with her knitting, and I am not quite­sure yet whether she was genuine ornot.

Madam Tussaud was born in Switz­erland in 1760. Being left an orphan ~

she was sent to Paris and placed underthe care of her uncle who was sculptorto Louis XVI, and from him she'learned the art of modeling in wax,During the French Revolution she:went to England where her collectionof figures attracted great attention. Itis said that the best specimen of herart is the figure, of Voltaire modeledby her from life. One can get con­siderable amusement as well as in­formation by spending an evening atthe Wax Works. There is a fine­orchestra and a good dining-room ill'.connection.

A WINTER MORAL.BY FLACTEl\1.

Borne on wings of frosty splendorFrom his northern palace home;

Glittering in his crystal costume,And his crown of frozen foam,

Shouting down the frigid valleys;Sweeping o' er the hardened plain;

\Vith his merry host behind him,Comes King Winter buck again.

He who sings the praise of Summer,Is employed in happy vein,

And the praises of the Springtime,Is a task the best may claim;

There's a chance for mighty meter,Singing of the golden Fall,

But the laureate of WinterHas the proudest task of all.

There is something in the Winter,In his wild and wayward strife;

In his cold, unhindered passionsThat is typical of life.

Man was meant to meet life's tempestAs the eagle braves the gale;

When the storm clouds gather blackest,And when hope and courage fail.

Face your troubles as the storm-bird,Proudly and upon the wing;

Trusting in yo~r boasted manhood,Scorning aid from anything;

Standing firmly in the tempest,Showing in your human form

The acknowledged mark and signetOf the Ruler of the storm.

THE GERMAN GYMNASIUM.G. W. HEIMROD.

Derived from the Greek, the word"gylnnasium-" has adopted in Ger­mauy a meaning far different fromthat of the English word, as a briefsketch of the German gymnasiuIllwill show.

The German gymnasium is a pub­lic school which teaches the classicalstudies in order to prepare students(that is, boys only) for the univer­sity for any branch of science. Aseveryone who attends the school hasto take the yearly prescribed studies,it is evident that a classificatioil andseparation is necessary from whichthe two kinds of gymnasia result­the "HUlllanesGymnasium," or "Ly-

ceum," and" Realgymnasium." Thefirst one aims to educate lawyers,doctors, theologists and philologistsof ancient languages, therefore mak­ing Greek and Latin more important,whi le the second puts more impor­tance on modern languages and nat­ural sciences,as mathematics, phys­ics- and chemistry. In every other

I -' -

part both are equals.

The gymnasitllll is a public school,and therefore may be attended by anycitizen's ,boy, provided he has thebrains and can pay about $30 a year.Besides that, he has to buy his per­sonal requirements, as school books,paper, etc., as nothing is furnishedby the school board.

The management of. the school isplaced in the hands of a "director,"who very often teaches German, Latinand Greek in the highest grade. Heis elected for unlimited time by thecity council, and is assisted by thecorporation of teachers called" Leh­rercollegium.' ,

The regular course of the gymna­sium requires nine years, not includ­ing three years before that in thegrammar school, or so-called "Vor­c1asse." The different classes areassigned by Latin ordinals, as, begin­ning with the lowest, sexta, quinta,quarta, under and over tertia, underand over secunda, under and overprima. Every class has a principal"or "ordinarius," who, in most cases"teaches the most important branches,especially German, Latin, Greek or­mathematics. In order to preventovercrowding, the school is providedwith two equal classes, distinguishedby "A" and "B." In the last three

THE DYING OF THE YEAR.Now fills your hearts

Wi t h winter drear;For now the autumn time is here,

And with its winds to you proclaimsThe dying of the year.

The woods, that onceTo us were dear.Are changing now as if by fear;

And through their tops a chant is sung:"The dying of the year."

Once golden fieldsThat did us cheer,Now do no more to us appear;

Their grains are gather'd now beforeThe dying of the ye~r.

So goes our life;Our winter nears;And often do we seem to fear

The thoughts that pierce and seem to say.The dying of the year.

If there is anything inment, they seemed desirous of showing.hiin how far they had advanced in names, we have such as Alexander,becoming blue coats and army officers.

Our class is yetpassed in front and rear of the gallant in its infancy and we hardly knowdefenders of the flag.

Easter to E:aster, is fou r ti mes in ter­ruptecl-from Jnly-August by a fourweeks', in the middle of October,Christmas, and Easter by a two weeks'vacation. Before each vacationstandings on "zengnisse" for theprevious term are given on the scaleof 5: I, representing excellent work;2, good; 3, satisfactory; 4, poor, and5, very bad work. According to theresults of these certificates the placesof the boys are determined andchanged.

The entering of the school, that isof the grammer sc hool , is not per­mittedunder the age of six years, sothat a diligent boy can leave theschool with his eighteenth year, asskipping of classes is impossible.

When going to p.ass the "undersecunda" the boy has to pass the firstgreat examination, which is his firstsorrow and terror in his careless life,but gives him, when he succeeds, theright to finish in one year the mili­tary service, which every Germanboy is obliged to attend. But this isonly a foretaste of the great examina­tion which finis es his school timeand opens to hi III the pleasures ofuniversity life, or else tells him thathis twelve years' work was useless;I mean the "maturum." On thisexami nation three factors are deter­minative: the quarterly standings ofthe under and over prima, the resultsattained in a written and those of anoral examination. In the middle ofJanuary a week is spent for this ex­amination, which includes all thestudies of the nine years. About amonth later an oral examination takesplace before the assembled teachers

years of school time both classes arecombined, because the number ofpupils has been then perceptibly di­minished. The classes have eachspecial rooms in which they hold alltheir recitations; that is, the scholarsremain in the same room throughoutthe whole time for recitations, buteach teacher goes from room to rOOI11hearing his special branch. Exceptedfrom this are only physics, chemistry,drawing, singing and gymnasticalexercises, for which large rooms areespecially added to the scliool build­ing. To find the gymnastical exer­cises upon the course of instruc­tion perhaps astonishes an Americanscholar, but everyone who is healthyis obliged to take part ill them; for"mens sana in corpore sano," shouldbe the goal of our modern scholarsalso.

Besides German, Latin and Greek,great importance is given to English,French, mathematics, chemistry,physics, geography, history and evenreligion, while drawing, gymnastical.exercises and singing are more forpleasure and recreation. As all thesestudies have to be taken by all thestudents, and all in one week, it isevident that the daily course of in­struction has to differ. In general,the hours on Monday equal those ofThursday; those of Tuesday thestudies of Friday, and so on. Gen­erally, the number of weekly lessonscomprises thirty-two to thirty-four.The school hours are, in summer ,from seven to eleven; in winter, fromeight to twelve, and from two to fouro'clock after dinner.

in his own way shall reach it, and byhis own efforts must accomplish it.But yet much help can be given byeach to the other by friendly sympa­thy and encouragement. We hopethat no unhealthy spirit of rivalry willbe found among us, but that eachshall be willing to lend a helpinghand to those who shall need it. Forgreat success depends upon individ­ual efforts in everything.

The December meeting of the JuniorLiterary and Debating Society will beheld after the REGIS'tER goes topress, the program promises well; andwe may safely say that the jromz"sewill be realized.

Everything is moving along finelyand the Seniors bid fair to have one ofthe jolliest times of the season at theirsocial. The social was to have beentwo weeks earlier but because of asudden change in part of their pro­gram they decided to have it on the21St, just before the Holidays.

This month has been so shortenedthat the Seniors have had but one oftheir Rhetoricals .so far. The pro­gramme at this meeting was very com­plete. 1\1 iss Smith read a very pleasingessay discussing her visit to a farm onThanksgiving. Numerous essays andrecitation followed intermingled withmusic which made the programmeone of the most enjoyable. The de­bate was a gem, Messrs. Woodlandand Stunner covered themsel ves allover with glory. The question for dis­cussion was: Resolved, that Bismarckwas a greater statesman than Glad-

stone. ~t was decided in favor of theaffirmative. Mr. Woodland certainlymade a fine speech. Go it, Frank.Some day we will expect to listen toyou before the Senate.

The Sophomore class meeting forDecembel' 2I, is to be an exceptionallygood one as to programme-the pro­gralllme committee managed that­and '97 in general will do the rest.The subject for the debate: "Re­solved, that Greece has been of morebenefit to the world than Rome,"promises to be very interesting. Themusic, part of which is to be fur­nished by the class Mandolin andGuitar Club, will prove delightful, aswe know by experience, for, thoughthe club is a new organization, whatwe have before heard from differentniembers was 'so weli received thatthere is no doubt that in the future wewill receive from it most enjoyableentertainment. The members of thisclub are Charlotte Esmund, MercedesLowe, Charles Shiverick, FrankMorseman and Harry Wigton, theirinstructor, Professor Sutorius,

MIRRORS.ROBT. C. LANSING.

The primary object of a mirror isthe formation of an image, not dis­torted but clear and well defined. Toaccomplish this, a smooth, polishedsurface capable of reflecting light with­out diffusion or absorbtion is essential.

The form of mirror used by theancients was a disc of highly polishedmetal, bronze being generally em­ployed. This 'was mounted on ahandle and richly decorated withjewels and figures in relief. Althoughthe. manufacture of glass was carriedto a high degree of perfection, glassmirrors do not appear to have beenmade.

Mirrors of modern times are dividedinto two classes, those for householdpurposes and those for scientific in­vestigation. This distinction ar sesfrom the different metals used as re­flectors and their positions on theglass. The' 'silver" of the commonvariety is an amalgam ofmercury andtin-foil placed on the back of the plate.For scientific purposes, a coating ofpure silver is applied to the front ofthe glass.

Each mirror is adapted to its officeand could not well fill that of theother. In the common looking-glass,the main image formed by the amalgamis rendered less perfect in outlineby the faint image fr0111 the front sur­face. This fact renders it undesirablewhere the image, as in the reflectingtelescope, is faint. On the other hand,the exposed silver of the scientific­form is easily abraided and hence it isimpractical of every day use.

The construction of mirrors involvestwo operations, the preparation of theglass and the application of the metal,Glass is made by fusing in large claypots, one hundred parts of pure whitesand, thirty-five parts of soda ash andfive parts of unslaked lime. Themelted mass is poured on an irontable and rolled out to the requiredthickness. The plate, after anneal­ing, is ground and polished.

The "silvering" is done on a largetable surrounded by a gutter and witha smooth level stone for a top. Onthis, tin-foil is smoothly spread andmercury poured over it to the depthof a quarter of an inch. The plate,scrupulously clean, is slided over thetable from the side, its edge skimmingoff the dirty scum on the mercury.The glass is then pressed. to theamalgam on the stone by heavyweights. The superflous mercury Tsdrained away by slightly tilting thetable and the mirror when dry iscomplete.

The preparation of the glass forastronomical mirror is the same asthat described above, save that in­stead of being plate, it is ground to aconvex form. On the glass is poureda solution of silver, together witha reducing agent. The silver isslowly deposited on the glass, forminga thin coating that does not requirepolishing.

Cowgill, Whipple, Humphrey andPurvis. The Omaha team won by aclose margin. Score 6-4.

The school team closed its season'swork by defeating the boys of thedeaf and dumb institute on Saturday,December 9th. The game was playedon the institute grounds, and greatwas the surprise of our team when itdiscovered the grounds to be onlyforty yards long. However, a spir­ited and exciting contest resulted.Our opponents outweighed us, butshowed such poor knowledge of thegame that they proved easy victimsto our tried and trusted veterans.Will Gardner acted as captain, owingto the absence of Clarke, and dis­played excellent judgment during theentire game. Owing to the limitedspace, few long runs were made.The boys showed the effects of theirenforced rest by a lack of old-timeinterference, but managed to scorewhen they chose against their op­ponents. Score So-a.

The team was delighted over theprospect of a tri p to Des Moines onThanksgiving day and a gatne withthe boys of the Des Moines High'School, but great was our sorrowwhen we learned that no groundscould be secured for a game in thatcity.

o The Monday following our lastgame was noticeable for the greatnumber of big, husky students whoentered school on that dav.
