THE PHILOSOPHY OF HENRY GEORGE.
Winner or Second Prize, Turrty Dourars, 1x THE New York Stare
Siveve Tax Leaguer Essay Contest.
Eveanor E. Dunn, Stare Hien Sonoon, AvBany, N. Y.
“All that is human must retrograde if it does not advance,” we are told
in different ways by many authors. In his book entitled “ Progress and
Poverty,” Henry George has pointed out clearly and unmistakably an
important step in advance, the effects of which will reach all classes of
society.
In pondering the social condition of the world, and of the lower class
in particular, whose wretchedness and misery no means hitherto tried
have appreciably diminished, Mr. George realized that poverty advanced
the advance of wealth and material progress — that increasing
al tion but increased the suffering and the number of the very poor.
This is exemplified in the growth of every country, and in the largest
cities and oldest centres of civilization to-day is found the deepest and
most widespread poverty. Such a condition is explained in various
ways by philosophers and political economists, and is termed a necessary
“Jaw of nature.” But before charging the Creator with such an un-
natural law, Mr. George sought to lay the blame upon man and man’s
laws.
As this research lay in the field of political economy, in order to correct
the errors of those preceding him he sought out and tested the doctrines
on which that science is based. One of the most widely accepted of these
is that wages are drawn from capital, and hence wages constantly tend to
become low, because “the increase in the numbers of laborers tends
naturally to follow and overtake any increase in capital.” Mr. George,
however, proves that wages are not drawn from capital, but from the
produce of labor. So it is seen that no plan which aims to increase
capital will remedy the existing low wages; and one common explanation
of the plan is eliminated.
‘The widespread and unquestioned belief in the Malthusian theory has
also been the fruitful basis of unsound reasoning. This theory, which
maintains that population tends to increase faster than subsistence, does
indeed seem at variance with the provident love and care of the Heavenly
Father, and Mr. George has also shown it to be at variance with all truth
and circumstantial evidence. “Tn countries where poverty is deepest
the forces of production are evidently strong enough, if fully employed, to
provide for the lowest not merely comfort but luxury. Whatever be the
trouble, it is clearly not in the want of ability to produce wealth.” What
is the trouble, then? If there is more than enough for all this world of
ours, to what can the want and suffering of so many be traced?
The three factors in production are labor, capital and land. The pro-
duce is divided between the laborer, capital and the landowner.
Whenever production increases, it is found that neither the laborer nor
=
—
TILE CRIMSON AND WHITE 57
the capitalist shares the benefit — the landowner alone is the one to profit
thereby. It is a fact that higher rent, not higher wages or interest,
accompany material progress.
This is the worst aspect of the present condition — that, as material
progress advances, wealth tends to be more and more unequally distrib-
uted between the three parties, laborer, capitalist and landowner, and
greater become the extremes of poverty and wealth. Increasing popula-
tion but increases rent; labor saving inventions and improvements but
inerease rent; and land speculation, which ever accompanies material
progress, increases rent. Wage and interest remain at a standstill or
decrease.
We conclude that private ownership in land is manifestly the under-
lying cause of the condition we are striving to remedy; private owner-
ship in land — an institution so time-honored and unquestioned that the
idea of abolishing it seems at first almost inconceivable. How many of
us there are who have never dreamed of the ice of the custom,
whose eyes have never been opened to the wrongs it has caused; and how
many there are, alas, who would not wish their eyes to be opened to them !
But when one really considers the matter, the injustice of private prop-
erty in land seems evident, and he wonders why he never before realized it.
After reading Henry George’s work the last doubter could not truth-
fully defend private property in land as being just. A man’s right of
ownership extends primarily to himself and the fruits of his own labor.
That which he makes or produces is his own — “ to enjoy or to destroy,
to use, to exchange or to give.” Did the original landowners obtain their
title in this way? No. They acquired the land by force or simple
appropriation, and nothing — “let the parchments be ever so many, or
possession ever so long” —can make valid a man’s title to property
originally gained wrongfully. “ Nature makes no discrimination among
men, but is to all absolutely impartial. The laws of nature are the
decrees of the Creator. There is written in them no recognition of any
right save that of labor; and in them is written broadly and clearly the
equal right of all men to the use and enjoyment of nature. Hence, as
nature gives only to labor, the exertion of labor in production is the only
title to exclusive possession.” ‘This most assuredly denies the right of
private ownership in land.
Moreover, private property in land does not result in the best use of
land. Often owners hold valuable lots vacant and unemployed because of
a mere whim, or to await higher prices. And are not lands now fre-
quently worked under leases by other than their owners?
The remedy for the social problem before us stands forth clear and
well defined: We should make land common property. Half way meas-
ures will not succeed. ‘To remove the evil, the root and underlying cause
of it must first be destroyed.
Writers before Mr. George have advocated similar theories, and have
proposed abolishing all private titles and paying rent to the State; but
to him belongs the credit of evolving a much simpler and more practical
58 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
plan, namely, to abolish all taxation save that upon land values. While
the former method would meet endless opposition as being too revolu-
tionary, the latter would necessitate no radical change, yet would accom-
plish the same results. This tax would fall entirely upon landholders,
and would in effect be requiring of them the amount they receive in rent.
They would be perfectly secure in their occupation of the land, thus
giving them opportunity for making improvements, while turning over the
rent to society, the rightful owner of the land.
This method of taxation would prove much simpler, more effective,
and just than the complicated system now in operation. ‘The burden of
taxes would be lifted from capital, manufacturers, media of exchange,
and improvements of all kinds, and a new stimulus would be given to
trade. Prices would necessarily fall. ‘lo the laborer and capitalist
would be left their full reward, and the production of wealth would be
enormously increased. It would no longer pay to hold land in idleness,
and immense tracts would be thrown open to improvement. The selling
price of land would steadily decrease, and land speculation and monopos
lization soon cease. With all the natural opportunities and resources
thus thrown open there would be no such thing as “not enough work.”
Wages must rise, for employers would have to pay a sufficient amount to
induce laborers not to become their own employers on the natural resources
then open to them.
The greatest result of this wise reform would be the much more equal
distribution of wealth. There would be fewer very rich, and the very
poor would disappear altogether, all living in comfort if not luxury.
When the fear of want should be removed some of the intelligence and
energy now devoted to scraping together a bare living might be em-
ployed in far more useful ways, and the march of progress would continue
with unexampled strides.
The small farmer and landholder need not become alarmed. The
Single Tax on their land would probably not be as great as the sum of
the taxes which they now pay. In the end they would find themselves
among the greatest gainers by the change. Of course, the benefit to the
wage earner and salaried man would be inestimable, and even the large
_ landholders, although they would lose much, would also gain much.
What a change would appear in the morals and social life of the com-
munity! With the fear of grinding poverty removed, much of the crime
and vice which are the result of it would disappear, and prisons and poor-
houses no longer dot our country so thickly. Men would have more time
to devote to education, invention and culture. How much better a place
in which to live this would be!
This remedy for social evils now existing could not be the true one
were it not in complete harmony with the law of human progress and
other reforms. That it is in harmony with them Mr. George has demon-
strated as clearly and effectually as he has his other points. “Association
in equality ” is the law of progress. Political liberty or equality was the
motive of that great revolutionary struggle in which our forefathers sacri-
a ee eee ee |
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 59
ficed themselves for the nation’s life. The increasing sacredness of per-
sonal liberty — freedom of speech and of the press — complete freedom
in religious worship —extension of the franchise—all marked the
progress of equality in the early history of our country, thus developed
into complete harmony with all other economic and natural laws. It is
just, it is practicable, it harmonizes with the law of human progress and
with other reforms. It must be the true remedy.
The progress of all great reforms is slow and much opposed. How-
ever, it should be every earnest citizen’s duty, when convinced of the
truth, not only not to oppose it, but to do everything in his power to
advance it.
Henry Ward Beecher has said: “ We should so live and labor in our time
that what came to us as seed may go to the next generation as blossom,
and what came to us as blossom may go to them as fruit. This is what
| we mean by progress.” Henry George has planted the seed and done
j much to convert it into blossom. It is made clear as our duty to pass
| it on to our sons and daughters as fruit. And, while working and waiting
{

for the fruit to develop, we may indeed take as our watchword that poem
of Whittier’s which tells us that
“Never yet
Share of truth was vainly set
j Tn the world’s wide fallow ;
| After hands shall sow the seed,
| After hands, from hill and mead,
Reap the harvest yellow.”

60 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
KASHA.
It was sunset; sunset in India, and the dying monarch of the Heavens
cast, as it disappeared, red and yellow reflections into the river and
through the village.
On the bank of the river stood a house of Indian structure, rudely built, .
yet highly decorated. It was the home of Abba Kan, a Hindu of the
highest caste. Here he lived with his wife and widowed daughter Kasha.
His lands extended far, his cattle and horses were of the best and his
servants — the servants of Kan were people nearly as well born as him~-
self down to the lowliest in the land. In the little village of the Ganges
he ruled supreme.
“And it has always to last, my mother, this torture of mine?” It
was the daughter spreaking in the musical Hindu, when she and her”
mother were alone on their balcony. She was seated on the floor at the
older woman’s feet, gazing at the loving face sadly bent above her.
“Yes, my child. Always, always, you are to be excluded from the
festivities; always you are to wear the robe of cotton and the short hair.
It was the will of the gods that you were to become a widow. Now you
must work, always work — you can no longer be one of us.”
The beautiful girl rose and silently withdrew to her apartment.
“Always to be like this?” she asked herself. “No, there will be other
ways.”
Poor little Kasha, her lot, though a common one, was pitiable. At the
age of five, as is the Indian custom, she had been married to a boy of
seven, who, in the first year of this marriage, had died of the fever. The
little girl wife had not then understood the fate that awaited her, and
lived as happily as it is possible for a girl of this land.
On this day, her fourteenth birthday, the last celebration connected with
her wedding took place. If the husband had lived, it was to have been
a feast and wedding, w! the little girl would have been covered with
jewels and rich ornaments. But instead of all this joy, because of the
punishment of the gods, she had first been dressed in these beautiful
things, which had soon been removed and the white cotton robe placed
upon her. Her hair had then been eut, and she was allowed to return
despised and shunned to her people. They also looked down upon her,
and wished always that she had been a son.
Never was she to dance, to sing, or to partake in the celebrations. Her
only purpose in life was to work, work, without an end.
So her story had been told to her by her mother. The girl thought of
and prayed for some deliverer, and that night, when all was dark and
still, Kasha, alone, went to the river and, murmuring a prayer, was about
to walk to her death in the black water, her white figure appearing ghost-
like against its blackness, when behind her a voice, that of a man, called
in English:
“Stop for a moment; I wish to talk with you.”
The girl turned with a ery, and seeing the young man, fell fainting in
terror, He ran to the river and brought water, which he sprinkled upon
ane ceamnciinie
euesranicx
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 61
her head and lips. Kasha regained consciousness, and realizing the man
was still near her, cried in her native tongue:
“What have you done? Water! You have defiled me now. Do you
not know that once water has passed the lips of a Hindu, if it be given
by a Christian, it makes him no longer a Hindu, but nationless? Even
our gods will not take me now. Why didn’t you let me die? What is
my life to you or to anyone?”
Turning from the frantic girl, the young man pointed to a building
far off, upon whose roof stood out plainly against the black sky the white
figure of a cross. It was the Christian mission.
“There,” he said, “is the place of refuge. You will be cared for and
loved. There will be no hard work with those good women. Come, you
have been out too long. We will go to them.”
Quietly she submitted, and through the blackness of the Indian night
the man and girl walked together to the little home. Two years later
they went to a new home far across the seas, where, as a Christian woman,
Kasha learned to forget her sad childhood and to give thanks to the one
God whi had sent her a deliverer.
F. M., 716.
PEGGY.
Ben Thomas, after he had finished packing his suitcase, rushed down
stairs to bid his sister good-bye just as the postman rang.
There was a letter for Ben from his college chum, Russel Seaman,
whom he was to join after a week’s fishing trip. Ben read the letter
quickly, handed it to Kitty, telling her she might read it, and, after a
hasty farewell, was gone.
Kitty sank down into a large chair in the parlor and began to read
the letter, but glancing quickly over the pages she saw “ Peggy ” stand-
ing out in bold letters. Anxiously she read, “In the absence of Kitty
I spend my spare time with Peggy.” Kitty at once grew angry and
wondered who Peggy was, for she thought very much of Russel Seaman.
She continued, “They are all crazy about her here, but she won’t notice
any one except me.” And he closed by saying, “I will write to Kitty
later.” This was enough for poor Kitty. She ran up to her room and
cried it out bitterly by herself.
“Crying won’t make things any better,” she said, as she jumped up
some time later. “T’ll see to it that he doesn’t get the chance to treat
me like this again.” She resolved to send word directly to her Aunt Ruth,
telling her that she had changed her mind about meeting her at Friend’s
Lake. It was at this lake that Ben was to join Russel after his fishing
trip.
Kitty then wrote a letter to Margaret, a friend who had long wanted
her to spend a couple of weeks with her, that if convenient she would
come the next week to stay a few days. Margaret wrote by return mail
62 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
that she would be delighted to see her, and would look for her on the
three-thirty express.
The same day that this letter arrived Kitty also received a letter from
Russel. At first she was going to tear it wp, but then her curiosity got
the better of her. Her heart throbbed with excitement as she tore it
open. A picture fell to the floor, She picked it up, glanced at it and
began to laugh nervously as she saw that it was Russel standing by the
side of a large Newfoundland dog, under which was printed in large
letters, “ Peggy.”
Kitty immediately sent two telegrams, one to Margaret, which read,
“Cannot come; changed plans; write later;” and another to her aunt,
saying, “ Have changed plans; will join you to-morrow; have room for
me.”
M. A., 716.
AN ESCAPE FROM THE ENEMY.
A horse and rider plodded slowly through the rain and mud.- It was
hard traveling and everything was shrouded in blackness. Presently the
horse stumbled and fell to his knees, rose, and fell again. ‘he man
awoke from his thoughts and pulled the horse gently up.
“This won’t do at all, Cicero, old boy; I guess maybe we'd better rest
awhile,” he said as he patted the great black horse’s neck.
‘he thunder was rolling nearer; the lightning seemed to flash almost
incessantly, revealing the wildness of the scene. A path scarcely wide
enough for man and horse led through a little valley. On one hand a
creek, almost dry, splashed quietly over the rocks, On the other a high
cliff overhung, making the place weird and gloomy. The man, sitting
on a boulder: near by while the horse rested, seemed lost in thought. He
must get through the Confederate lines and back to the Union camp,
searcely four miles away. He must! ‘The dispatches he carried were
very important. He simply must be there by early morning.
Me watered the horse, mounted, and started on. The scene grew
wilder, the path through the woods could hardly be seen. Soon a voice
eried out in front of hin
“ Halt, and give the pass
yord |”
He halted, for the dim form before him had seized the reins. The
rider gave the password and said he carried important dispatches. The
soldier seemed doubtful, and called to the corporal of the guard for in-
structions. ‘Taking fright at some slight movement, the horse bolted.
“Tun, Cicero, run, if you don’t want to carry a Reb to-morrow!”
shouted his master.
Cicero ran, ran like the wind, but the pursuers, on fresh horses,. drew
nearer and nearer. At length the horse stumbled and fell. The man,
bounding clear of him, stooped to see what the trouble was.
“Mighty sorry, Cicero, old boy,” he said, “but you'll have to be shot —-
your leg’s broken. Cood-bye, old fellow.”
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 63
A shot rang out through the silence. The great black horse would
run from the Rebs no more!
The man paused for a moment and patted the soft neck of the huge
beast. He then struck blindly into the underbrush, only to find himself
surrounded by ten or twelve gray forms. A wild struggle ensued.
When Douglas Grayson, the man in blue, regained consciousness, he
found himself being borne away into the gloom toward the Rebel camp
and to whatever fate might befall him.
“Well,” he mused, “they can’t have the dispatches anyway, ‘cause 1
swallowed them!”
Again he fainted, but his captors went steadily on.
When he awoke he found himself lying on a high, four-posted bed.
The room was long and narrow. At one end four large windows com-
manded a view of the old-fashioned garden and orchard below. The
furniture was highly polished black walnut.
Soon he became conscious of the fact that a man’s voice was speaking
outside the chamber door.
“The captain said to put the prisoner in here, mum. I reckon you’l!
have to see that he gets his meals. That shiftless, no ‘count nigger
woman won’t come near this part of the house.”
“TJ?” an indignant voice replied. “Oh! what will happen next?
There doesn’t seem to be any limit to your audacity. You think nothing
of ruining houses and gardens and stripping them for provender; you
even dare to order the women to care for your prisoners.”
“The captain orders it, mum. I reckon you won’t be troubled with
him very long. All you'll have to do is to carry his meals to him.”
“T suppose he must have enough to eat. It is as you say, Mammy is
afraid to come near this part of the house.”
The voice died away, but presently the door opened and a girl came
into the room. She crossed to the bed with long, graceful strides, and
put a tray of food on a stand beside the prisoner. This done, she walked
slowly to the window, where she stood looking into the garden below.
Her clear-cut face was sharply outlined against the darker background
of the casement. Little stray wisps of her tightly-coiled brown hair
blew across her face and into her deep blue eyes. At length she turned
with a little impatient gesture to light the candles. Having lighted them
all, she quietly left the room.
The next morning Grayson was led into a great dim library, where, at
the farthest end, sat some office For an hour they questioned him
concerning the affairs of his army. He answered nothing. As he left
the room to return to his chamber he realized that un he gave the
desired information he would be shot at dawn. There seemed no possible
way of escape.
For a long time he sat on the window ledge looking down into the
garden and wondering if he could e: e. A movement behind him
drew his attention and he turned to find the girl standing near him.
“You would like to escape?” she asked quietly.
64 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
Douglas stared at her for a moment.
“You are laughing at me,” he said. “It is ridiculous to think of a
Southern girl helping a Yankee to escape.”
“Tam not a Southerner. I was visiting my grandmother when the
war broke out. My father and brother fought first under General Mc-
Clellan and at present are under General Grant. Now listen: To-night
T will come through the passage into this room next to yours. I have the
key to the communicating doors. We will go to the cellar and no one
will be the wiser.”
At exactly twelve the girl appeared and conducted Grayson through a
maze of passages to the cellar. Here a door swung open as soon as she
touched a spring hidden in the wall.
“T have gone this far with you, but now you must go alone. I wili
be missed if I don’t hurry back. This tunnel brings you to a tiny hut in
the wood. From there you must go carefully. Your lines lie to the left.
Good-bye and good luc
Almost before Grayson could murmur his thanks the girl was gone.
He pressed forward through a low, damp tunnel. Soon he came to a
flight of steps, and, as he paused to breathe, he heard voices above him.
“The captain was almighty sure this was a secret meeting place. {
can’t see anything, can you, Joe?” said one.
“All seems solid to me. 1 can’t tell much about the floor. That all
seems hollow, but T ean’t see as much as a erack. I reckon we'd better
journey on.”
Grayson listened till their footsteps died away; then he climbed the
steps, undid the m ch and stepped up into a tiny room. Not a
sound broke the stilln He looked first from the window and then
from the door, here was nothing in sight save tall trees and a merry
little brook crossing the path. He left the house and followed the path
for a few mom ; then he heard voices and drew back into the bushes.
Two very dejected looking riders came along, most probably sent back to
guard the house.
“Well,” he chuckled, “ they just missed me. J’ll be in camp in twenty
minutes.” And he was.

Mid-years and reports! Enough said. Suffice it to remark that they
are over at last, and that consequently we of C. H. S. have taken a new
lease of life. Let us strive to make the period of this new lease long and
profitable; let us live for each day as it comes along, doing with a will
those duties which present themselves to us; let us cease to worry, worry,
oyer hardships before us; and, finally, let us enjoy to the fullest extent
those pleasures that come with each new day. Then, the lesson once
learned, we need never again dread examinations or any other tests of
our ability.
ome time ago Dr. John H. Finley, Commissioner of Education, lec-
tured to us on the “ Necessity for Purer English,” which talk has started
a train of thought among us that may lead to better things. This subject
is one of the weightiest problems of our time; its easiest and best solution

great influence the language we use has upon our lives. In school, in
business relations, in society, we are judged more by our power of speech
and expression than by any other one thing. Who has not at some time
or other experienced that feeling of disgust on hearing the English lan-
guage used in such a way as to be hardly recognizable as such? And
who at those times has not resolved to keep a strict watch over his own
tongue lest some word slip out for which he may be sorry? ‘The move-
ment, becoming now more and more widespread, against impure English,
is directed not only against the extreme misuse of grammatical construc-
tions which, more often than not, arise from ignorance of the language
rather than carelessness, but it also embraces those comparatively lesser
errors into an habitual use of which it is so easy to fall. How often do
we hear persons say “It don’t” —so often, in fact, that it is no longer
an unusual or strongly criticized expression. Slang words, too, as inno-
cent as they may be, form a distinctly unpleasant element. A short
time ago a minister, who had just listened to a wonderful organ recital,
was wishing that instead of having to go down and shake hands with his
congregation he might go off alone to think of the beautiful harmonies
that had inspired his very soul. As he stepped from his pulpit to the
chureh aisle the very first words that greeted his ear were, “ Some music! ”
Imagine the effect and how rudely his thoughts were changed to a right-
cous indignation by the sharp contrast caused by those two words. ‘Thus,
can you not all see how the little details count? Won't you all, students
of C. H. S., attempt to make your English as pure as possible? You will
be surprised at the influence you can exert by your good example.
Dunn has again brought glory to her school and ours! In the
Contest recently held by the New York State Single Tax League
she won the second prize of thirty dollars for the essay which appears ir
this number of “The Crimson and White.” Jt will be interesting to
quote parts of the report of the Essay Committee published in the Single
Tax Review for Noyember-December, 1914. It says:
“ Scores of essays were submitted. They were examined by a number
of professional readers, and from them were selected eight essays to be
submitted to the following judges:
“Amelia 1. Barr, Novelist; Dr. Frederick C. Mowe, Director of Peo-
ple’s Institute, . . . Author. . . . ete; Menry M. Leipziger,
Ph.D. . . . 3 Dr. Walter Mendelson, Columbia University ; Hon.
John J. Murphy, . . . ; Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Poet and Essayist
“When the judges rendered their decisions there was no unanimity of
agreement, nor anything approaching it. The difficulty of their task
was indicated by Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who wrote the committee:
‘All the essays are remarkably good. It is extremely hard to make a
selection of the three best.’”
The familiar and well-known names on the list of judges adds a more
personal touch to their decision, which finally resulted in the award of
second prize to Miss Dunn, whose essay is printed in the Review. Tu
speaking of the merits of the essays submitted the report goes on:
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 67
“Our readers shall judge of their merit. To us they seem remarkable
juvenile compositions. All would do credit to maturer minds. What is
chiefly noticeable is the grasp of the moral principles involved. The
essay of Miss Dunn is conspicuous by reason of its fine simplicity and
restraint.”
We may well feel proud to have

The Essay Contest of the New York State Historical Society has also
been of great interest to us. The awards were as follows: First prize
twenty-five dollars in gold, Edward O’Toole of ning; second prize,
fifteen dollars, Isabelle Knapp of North Tonawanda; and third prize, ten
dollars, Marion C. White of our own school. Next year the subject will
be “The Reasons for Calling New York State the Empire State,” and
the awards will be medals instead of money. We hope that next year
we may get the first prize for our High School, so let us determine to try
hard for it.
ALUMNI NOTES.
There has been a most noticeable lack of material for the Alumni Notes
this year. It will be greatly appreciated by the Alumni Editor if all who
know of any items of interest concerning any of the alumni, or of the
meetings of that association, will kindly communicate them to her before
the next issue of “The Crimson and White.”
On February 5, Marian Domery, class of 1913, paid us a short visit.
She is attending Simmons College at Boston, and was home for a short
vacation after the mid-year exams.
Newton Bacon, class of 1912, was also home from Williams College,
where he is now studying.
Alberta O’Connor, who graduated with the class of 1912, is teaching
in District School No. 19 at West Albany.
Marguerite Clark, ’14, is getting along splendidly at Vassar. We are
proud of you, Marguerite!
Eleanor Dunn, 714, has succeeded in winning the second prize in the
Single Tax League Essay Contest. Her essay appears in this number.
We are sure all will enjoy reading it.
SCHOOL NOTES.
The first half of the school year is over. We have passed through it
safely, if not quite as successfully as we hoped when we started in fresh
from our summer vacation. Then we had mythical dreams of hours and
hours. of study and of marks from eighty to one hundred, but now we
feel quite differently about it. Our eyes have been opened very wide by
these last examinations.
Mid-year exams!! Horrors!
68 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
They are truly a nightmare to us now when we look back at them.
Where have our dreams and high marks gone? Where our hopes and
ambition ‘These examinations, with their resulting marks, have shown
us how very small the extent of our knowledge is and how limited our
attempts have been. For we haven’t studied nearly as much as we should
have; there has been too much fun and merry-making. We have treated
our lessons with too little respect. But there is another half year coming
to give us an opportunity to show how much better we can come out if we
try. Let us all really try to raise our marks this half of the year.
Shan’t we?
It is just after “Mid Years” that we have a change of teachers. It is
most interesting. Although we feel very sorry to see our old ones, to
whom we have become so attached, leaving us, we are very anxious to see
who our new ones will be, wondering whether we will like them as well
and if they will be as good to us as the former ones. Some of us may
have been a little disappointed at first, but new teachers, even if we think
that from our first impression they are queer and different, generally turn
out to be very nice in the end.
There has been a new law made and passed by the faculty which has
to do with the punishment of students for any offense whatsoever. A
regular study hall — automatic, they say —has been established in room
three hundred, at half after one every day. It is not presided over by
a student te: but by different ones of the dignified crities, so don’t
think that it is any fun to have to go there. Indeed, it is quite the
opposite. Well, if you don’t want to join it, don’t be late at nine o’clock
or at quarter of one; don’t forget the classes you are in; don’t misbehave
so that you will be sent to the office; don’t talk in the halls while passing.
Boys, don’t smoke between nine and half after one, and don’t do many
other things of which you have been duly informed. Because if you do
you will become a member of this study hall for at least one day.
One of our number, Marion White, has been fortunate enough to have
the third prize, ten dollars, in the Essay Contest of the New York State
Historical Association, awarded to her. Congratulations! We are very
glad that we have some one who can represent us with the other High
Schools of the State.
We have been bothered lately by a great deal of pounding in the halls;
but we have been well repaid for this by the drinking fountains which
have appeared all over the building. They are a great improvement and
we are indeed grateful.
Some time ago we were invited to attend a lecture in the auditorium
given by Dr. Brubacher, the new president of the college. He talked on
the “ Requirements for a Modern Teacher.” Tt was extremely interest-
ing, and we all enjoyed seeing the president, who has now taken up his
duties.
We are sorry to say that Hazel Schilling has left our school. She is
now attending the Watervliet High School. We suppose Jack will be
going next. Agnes Demers, who was here but a short time, has also left.
William McKenna, formerly of the Albany High School, and John
Herran, of the Rensselaer High School, have entered our school.

ADELPHOI.
Adelphoi meetings continue to hold the interest of the members, espe-
cially of the older ones, whose visits have been both frequent and pleasant.
The debates were discontinued last week owing to examinations, but
next term will probably see many lively discussions on matters of timely
interest.
It was with regret that we learned of Mr. Soule’s departure from
school. He hopes, however, to be able to continue his studies next
September.
New officers have recently been chosen, and the election of Nelson
Covey as President was most pleasing.
Our Alumni Chapter reports good progress on the arrangements for
the annual spring banquet.
THETA NU.
During the past few months Theta Nu meetings have held much of
interest for its members. The debates have been the chief feature; these
haye been well prepared and faithfully given, thus insuring a good
attendance at every meeting. Recently the following very interesting
debate took place: “ Resolved, That the United States should interfere
in the Mexican crisis.” On the negative were Messrs. Ward, Wilcox,
Seymour and O’Connor, while the affirmative was supported by Messrs.
Fite, Sperry, Hoyt and Vos. After a spirited discussion and much
deliberation on the part of the judges, the debate was awarded to the
negative.

which seems very strange to us. The Literary Department is unusually
long, but nevertheless is far from lacking quality. But the poems! Not
even our talented English Critic could write an “Appreciative Criticism ”
of them; it would of necessity be depreciative. The Joke Editor should
be especially commended. Here’s hoping The Black and Gold will be
a faithful friend to “ The Crimson and White.”
It is a shame to put the good material contained in the Academy
Graduate (Newburgh, N. Y.) on such unbeautiful paper? Can’t the
printer be induced to change the quality of the said paper?
The Archon (Byfield, Mass.) is very much in need of an Exchange
Department. Even a small one would be better than none at all.
The neat little Kwassui Quarterly (Nagasaki, Japan) has once more
succeeded in crossing the ocean and in reaching Albany. The school
pride and spirit manifested by this wee paper might well be copied by
others.
In The Crimson (Logan, Utah) is an excellent article entitled “The
Man Worth While.” We quote the following, and it applies to you, ok,
student in “ The High School Department of the New York State College
for Teachers: ”
“ Boost and the world boosts with you,
Knock and you're on the shelf,
For the world gets sick of one who'll kick,
And wishes he’d kick himself.
“Boost for your own advancement,
Boost for the things sublime,
For the chap that’s found on the topmost round
Ts a booster every time.”
Not what you read, but what you remember, will make you wise.

There is a gift beyond the reach of art, of being eloquently silent.—~
Bovee.
Do as well as you can to-day, perhaps to-morrow you will be able to do
better.— Newton.

one else.— Dickens.
