Revery of a Senior.
After all examinations
And the rush of “ getting through ”
In the midst of meditations
On the things that I should do,
Came a tender recollection,
Mingled with those thoughts sublime,
Of the scenes that I was leaving
For the last, last time.
All was over, all was finished,
Every lesson, thesis, test,
And before me lay vacation
With its welcome word of “ rest.”
No more reading, no more writing,
No more dreading an “ exam,”
No more trotting thru my Latin,
No more German notes to cram.
No more meetings in the “ race track,’
No more “ bugging” in the park,
No more dreadful English papers
With that fatal question mark.
No more visits to the Senate,
No more “cuts ” to get excused,
No more Hall’s “Adolescence,”
No more “ Dutch” to be “ reviewed.”
No more “‘plans ” to be corrected,
No more tests in “Analyt,”
No more note books, decorated,
No more chance of “ cutting crits.”
No more scanning Horace’s Latin,
No more reference books, ‘‘ not tit,
No more chance to go “ star-gazing,”
No more factious Sophs to trim.
No more “rush parties” for Freshmen,
No more scraps for chapel rows,
No more hateful glances round you,
All are friends that once were foes.
As the old familiar memories
Came crowding home to me,
In my heart I felt a longing
For the days in S. N. C.

“The Advantages of the Country
School.”
So much has been written and said
about the superior educational adyan-
tages in the cities, by those who sit in
comfortable office chairs or at studio
desks and who perhaps have occasionally
driven by a country school house, that I
am glad of an opportunity to support the
other side of the question. Before ad-
vancing any of these advantages con-
cretely, I wish to make sure that there
shall be no ambiguous use of the term
“educational advantages.’ Do I mean
by this such advantages as promote the
mere accumulation of facts under the so-
called scientifically classified branches of
knowledge, between each two of which
there comes to be, in the mind of nine
pupils out of every ten, no natural rela-
tion? No. It seems to me that the term
implies those conditions that most effi-
ciently awaken a child’s consciousness of
his connection with society; fit him to
adapt himself to circumstances through
262
his powers of correlation, independent
research and judgment, and lead him to
realize that his education is to enable him
to give out, to be of service, and not
merely for his own development.
Do I mean by this term, educational
results? No, because we must all ac-
knowledge that the results of the advan-
tages that I claim for the country school
depend, in a great measure, upon the
teacher. If the results are absent (as is
too often the case) that fact does not
prove that the advantages are not there
ready to be employed and enjoyed. Hav-
ing established what I mean by “ educa-
tional advantages” I shall enumerate
them.
I believe that the “appliances” of the
country school give greater results in
actual, usable knowledge, although this
is one of the main points in the superior-
ity of the city school. In our grammar
schools, we bring out our maps, charts
and globe to present physical geography ;
samples of flax, pictures of factory rooms,
tea-groves and vineyards, to teach com-
mercial geography; and we “ hear” par-
rot-like definitions in political geography.
No doubt the equipment has cost the city
a considerable sum of money. But when
we have turned all of these to every pos-
sible account, do our girls and boys know
the differences between capes, peninsulas,
islands, straits, tributaries, hills and val-
leys, as do the country children, who can
point out miniature examples of each of
these in the brook where they play at re-
cess, and gleefully paddle further to
make new discoveries?
When you tell a country lad that flax
grows very much as wheat does, and
that sugar-cane, while growing, looks
like “ fodder ” corn, you have given him
in a few moments material to work with,
THE Ecuo.
that samples could never give him. The
girl who has had to “ go over” the berry
patch other day to prevent the
over-ripe berries from decreasing the
productiveness of the bushes, under-
stands the necessity of the labor of the
Chinaman in his tea-groves, and the
negro in the cotton field.
There is scarcely a village but what
has some kind of manufacturing indus-
every
try of its own, if it is no more than a
saw- or grist-mill, or a cheese factory.
The advantage here is that the outside,
social attractions that take up so much of
the time of city children are compara-
tively few in the lives of the country
children. As a result, you may be very
sure that the latter can tell you all there
is to be known about anything that goes
on in their own town, and in their knowl-
edge of every part of that mill they have
a wealth of material to bring to your
descriptions of the great manufacturing
plants» of the world. All this the city
child has for he has come no
nearer than the buzz of the machinery
and the crowds of over-worked men and
missed,
women leaving at night.
The time-worn phrase, “ proceed from
the near to the more remote; from the
known to the unknown,” awful
bugbear to the city teacher when she at-
tempts to present political geography.
For where shall she begin? What does
the city child know about elections, offi-
cers and their duties, and the purposes
of government, but huge bon-fires once
a year? The country children know
how their father worked to become town
is an
supervisor, understand many specific pur-
poses of taxation, and recall the tyranny
of the last school trustee, and the in-
efficiency of the rural commissioner.
Here is something to begin on.
LITERARY.
Think of the practical material at hand
Is it any trouble
for a girl to learn multiplication, division
or the denominate tables, who has gath-
ered and kept track of the eggs since
she was able to walk; who very soon
takes entire possession of the hennery,
in teaching Arithmetic!
and calculates the comparative profit on
eggs and cost of maintenance of her
flock; who has helped her mother each
spring to estimate the amount of carpet,
wall-paper or window-lawn needed for
the various rooms of the house? You
won't be obliged to spend weeks explain-
ing profit and loss to a boy who, because
of the loss of a fruit crop through early
frosts, has had to come to school bare-
footed, or who has been told that he
must wait for his skates until the check
for the straw comes.
Besides this, all such legal papers as
promissory notes, deeds of property,
checks, insurance papers and_ tax-lists
are made out on the kitchen table, where
he sees them and learns to recognize
them. The father’s business office takes
all these advantages away from the city
child, so that what he attempts to learn
in school is absolutely isolated from his
daily life.
The advantages of the country school
in nature study are too obvious to dwell
upon.
The social surroundings of the country
school come more nearly to securing
the desired results of education. We
look at this from two different
standpoints: from within the schoolhouse
and from outside of the schoolhouse. The
country child retains the higher degree
of individuality, and when he gives an
answer to a question, no matter how
ridiculous that answer may seem, he has
a reason for it,
may
In the city schools, on
263
the contrary, the original work is left to
a few of the brightest and the rest blindly
follow. This is due to a prematurely
developed self-consciousness and to a
strong desire to give the answer thought
to be expected by the teacher whether
there is a reason for it or not.
There is a sense of pride in the country
schools not encountered in the city
So closely are the children asso-
ciated outside of school that we observe
that their conduct and the motives con-
trolling their conduct are the same in
school as outside. The city child does
things in school that he wouldn’t think
of doing elsewhere because he doesn’t
expect to meet the results of those acts
after school is out.
There is real pleasure in attending
school for the country child. If he re-
mained at home the duties that are re-
quired of him before and after school
would be so increased as to take up the
whole day, leaving little or no time for
play. School life, in its noon hour and
schools.
recess (which should, under no circum-
stances, be denied the pupils), affords
not only time for play, but also play-
fellows.
Physical conditions increase the ad-
vantages of the country school children.
They walk a mile, and even two, through
sun, rain, snow and wind, and you need
only look at their bright eyes and smiling
faces to see the results. Sometimes their
feet are wet, but they pull off their shoes,
sit down before the wood fire, and study
with much better results than the city
children in the stuffy warmth of their
steam-heated buildings.
It seems to me that there is no greater
proof of the advantages of the country
school than the fact that the results are
self-extending. The girls and boys, for
264
the most part, do not shut up their books
at four o’clock with the idea that six
hours of study is enough for one day.
But at night they attempt to teach their
little brothers and sisters. In many cases
there is a strong desire to go away and
study so as to be able to return to teach
the home school.
Although we must admit that the city
school has its advantages in the way of
conveniences, of communication, financial
returns to the teacher, number of courses
of instruction, and temporary physical
comforts, yet we must also agree that
the very absence of these advantages,
and the nature of the physical, social and
home life of the country child, make the
struggle more strenuous; and the greater
the strife, the more satisfactory the
victory.

Toilers in the City and in the
Country.
Toilers,—how many there are of them
in a great city! Early in the morning
they begin to pass my window, and
though I may not see them, I have
learned to distinguish the different
classes from the sounds which reach my
ears. The first ones go past before six
o'clock, and I can tell by the tramp,
tramp, tramp of their heavy
and the rattle of
tin dinner pails, that
the toilers of the railroad,
the tracks or in the shops at some
distance from their homes. About an
hour later the greatest crowd of work-
ers passes; these are the people, many
men and some women, who must, at
seven o’clock, begin the long day in the
factory or at the workbench. Their
faces are usually pale, their steps weary,

and their backs bowed beneath the bur-
dens which they bear. In marked con-
trast to this class is one which follows
shortly before eight, and which consists
chiefly of store girls, who are arrayed in
finery usually ill-befitting their occupa-
tions. But what care they? Money was
made to spend, and if the spending of it
upon flimsy gowns and perishable head-
gear gives them happiness why should
we care? Besides the store girls there
are at this time also straggling stenog-
raphers, bookkeepers, and students, who
pass my window, and most of these, be-
cause of their more modest behavior and
businesslike manner, are easily distin-
guished. Meantime, all this time from
six o'clock on, the city streets in May
re-echo with the sounds of two other
classes of toilers——the hucksters and
the street cleaners. The former of these
are a constant source of amusement to
me. When I grow old and wise I’m
going to write a book, whose title shall
be, “‘ The Cries of Street Hucksters,”
and in which, in parallel columns, I shall
place the words which they really utter
and the words I have thought they ut-
tered. The street cleaners play a homely
but important the city’s life.
New York does well in providing them
with white uniforms, and there the
“White Angel” is not a blot upon the
landscape.
role in
Shortly after the eight-o’clock toilers
have gone their way the sunny-faced
children go to school, and I sometimes
think that they are the greatest toilers
of all, for they are beginning a task
which will last as long as life lasts,—the
cultivation of the intellect. Later in the
forenoon one sees the bustling house-
wives come out to do their marketing,
the servant girls scrubbing the front
LITERARY.
Steps, the messenger boys and delivery
wagons hurrying past, the postmen going
their busy rounds. So it goes all day
long,—it is a busy life in May, this life
in a great city.
In the country in May how great is
the difference. To be sure, everything
here, too, teems with life. The trees put
forth their greatest efforts in the way of
leaves, the grass grows green upon the
meadows, the spring flowers come forth
in all their. glory. Everything living
feels the “ upward swelling which is the
premonition of the budding of spring-
time.” The balmy air has a subtle fra-
grance never noticed at any other season,
and it fills one with longing to do and
to be something.
What wonder that the farmers are
happy now, although they are very busy
with the ploughing and planting? Up
at the first peep of day, they are away
with the horses and hard at work before
the city toiler (even the earliest one) is
awake. Instead of spending the day in
a stuffy shop or store they are out all
day under the open sky, and, instead of
hearing the deafening sounds of machin-
ery and traffic, they listen to the gentle
thud of the upturned clods and the sweet
song of mating birds. Their work is
hard, I’m not denying that, but they
have health and strength, and nature
furnishes them the fairest setting for
their labors. Then, when the day is
over,
“Something accomplished, something
done,
Has earned a night’s repose.”
The farmer’s wife, though her life
seem narrow in comparison with that of
her city sister, gains greater joy from
her few pleasures, and less weariness
from her labors. The farmer’s
children,—who can describe their labors
many
265,
and their joys? Manifold as are the
former, the latter more than counterbal-
ance them. In short, the city toiler
labors with hand and head, but seldom
with his heart. He gains a living, or, it
may be, a little more for his heirs to
waste; the country toiler labors with all
his faculties, and gains not only a com-
petence, but also peace.
To be convinced of the advantages
which the toiler in the country has over
the one in the city, not only in May but
all the year round, one needs only to
read “ Adventures in Contentment,” by
Edward Grayson, a book recently pub-
lished. Mr. Grayson moves from the
city to the country, and this is what he
says about it: “It is now almost nine
years since I came to this farm, empty-
handed. I was the veritable pattern of
the city-made failure. I believed that
life had nothing more in store for me.
I was worn out physically, mentally, and,
indeed, morally. I had _ diligently
planned for success; I had reaped de-
feat. I came here without plans. I
ploughed and harrowed and planted, ex-
pecting nothing; in due time I began to
reap. And it has been a growing marvel
to me, the diverse and unexpected crops
that I have produced within these un-
even acres of earth. With sweat I
planted corn, and I have here a crop not
only of corn, but of happiness and hope.”
There are many toilers in the city who
have “ reaped defeat,’ but I wonder how
many have reaped
hope.”

The Old Stone-house.
One cold spring night in April, 1813,
in a small wooden house, built on the
southern bank of the St. Lawrence river,
a family were seated at their evening
meal. The father was not there, for he
was serving in the English army.
They were eating in silence, when,
suddenly, there was a soft rap on the
door. Immediately they all started up.
The mother opened the door and there
stood before her two soldiers dressed in
red uniforms. They were shivering
from the cold, and, as soon as the door
was opened, they entered without any
invitation.
As the light fell on their faces more
directly, the woman saw that they had
not seen many years of service. She
asked them what they wished, and the
LITERARY.
one who appeared the elder answered:
“ By our uniforms you can see that we
are British soldiers. All we ask is a
night’s lodging. We have grown tired
of the service, and early this morning we
stole away from camp and have spent all
day on that island in the marsh. It was
so piercingly cold we could stay there no
longer. When we saw this light down
here we thought that, perhaps, we could
remain here until early dawn, when we
will make our to the American
border.”
While he was speaking, Mrs. Brunsen,
for that was the woman’s name, looked
at them thoughtfully. She hated to be
unfaithful to her country in lodging two
deserters. But these two men were so
young, and she could not help thinking
of their mothers and how she herself
longed for the time when the war would
be ended and her husband might return.
So, finally, she consented, and after giv-
ing them some supper she showed them
to a room and the two deserters went to
sleep, feeling that they were safe.
But Mrs. Brunsen’s mind was not at
rest. She could not forget that she was
being unfaithful to her country. So,
quietly, she went to her eldest son and
awakened him. She told him that she
wished him to go somewhere for her and
that he must put on his warmest clothes.
At last he entered the principal room
of the house where his mother was sit-
ting. He was clad in almost all of the
clothes he owned, for these people did
not have many of the comforts of life.
Carefully and quietly his mother gave
him the instructions and he started off.
After he had walked about a mile he
came to a marsh. Through this he would
find the shortest way to the British
camp. The water was high in the marsh,
way
267
for the ice had just gone out and the
water had not lowered as yet. But on he
went. Sometimes the water came as
high as his waist; sometimes only as far
as his ankles.
He had gone about five miles farther
when he came to the bank of the Salmon
river. He obtained a boat, and, after
rowing about a mile, he landed at Hop-
kin’s Point. Here the army made their
headquarters in a large farmhouse.
All seemed quiet in the house. He
stepped to the door and knocked on it
with all his might. A guard called and
asked him what he wished.. He an-
swered that he had important news for
the major
immediately.
So they let him in and showed him
into the major’s room, where that officer
and wished to see him
sat by a dim lamp, looking over a pile of
papers. Without any salutation, except
a bow of respect, the lad commenced his
story. He told how the two soldiers had
stopped at their house and were there
yet. The major listened to his story.
Then calling six men, among whom was
the sergeant, he ordered them to go home
with the young lad and arrest the sol-
diers whom they should find there and
bring them back to the camp.
Then, in the middle of the night, this
young man guided these six men to his
home. When they arrived Mrs. Brunsen
showed them where the deserters were
sleeping, and then she and her son went
into an adjoining room. At last the sol-
diers had gone. She closed and bolted
the door, extinguished the light and
went to bed, but could not sleep.
The deserters were taken back to
camp. There they were given an unfair
trial and hanged for the crime they had
committed.
268
The government was very grateful to
Mrs. Brunsen. They gave her a large
piece of land on the river bank, three
islands in the St. Lawrence river just in
front of this land, and then built her a
stone house. But it seemed as if some
fate were attached to this house, for
everyone who has since lived in this
structure, built by blood-money, has been
unsuccessful.
At present there is nothing left but
ruins. About five years ago the owner
tore the walls down so as to use the
stones in another building. Now only
low walls. mark this memorable spot.

The Doom of the Visitor at the
Intersociety Meeting.
It happened at the meeting,
When all the girls were there:
A visitor, so fleeting,
Did pass beneath the chair.
Each one withdrew in horror,
The business stopped dead still,
In vain we looked for courage
That little bug to kill.
But Maud, she proved the victor,
And with her foot sent down
That little bug to bugdom,
And business then went on.

The Colonial Cemetery of Johnstown
Passing along Green street, just one
block from the main street on which all
the principal stores of Johnstown are sit-
uated, one sees a quaint little graveyard.
It is a quiet, restful spot, with century
old elms standing like sentinels outside
a great stone wall. The entrance to this
Tue EcHo.
place is by a large iron gate on the south
side, which is the only opening of the
broad and massive stone wall surround-
ing it.
Standing at this gateway and looking
northward one can see the blue hills of
the surrounding country, with here and
there a white speck, which, if a spyglass
be used, proves to be a farmhouse.
Lower down is the city of Gloversville,
and just beyond the lower edge of the
cemetery is the gas plant and a large
lumber mill. On the west side is the old
Drumm house, which was built in 1772.
From this gateway there is but one
path, leading straight ahead and divid-
ing the graveyard into two distinct parts.
Thus one may wander at his will among
these graves, for there are no other
paths. The headstones are of dark sand-
stone or white marble, and face toward
the east. On some of the stones the
characters are nearly obliterated, while
on others they stand out clearly. One
sees the old English s which resembles
our f, the word consort in place of wife,
and such phrases as “ departed this life ”
or “sleeps in peace ”’ instead of the word
dead. There are the stately English
names of Frothingham and Trowbridge,
the reliable Dutch Brevoort and Van
Santword, the valiant Scotch Wallace,
McLaren and McPherson. Written in
the quaint old English script are the
Catherines, Elizabeths,
Rhodas and Eleanors.

wife Anne Irving Dodge, a sister of
Washington Irving. This general, a dis-
tant relative of my own family, served
during the Revolutionary War and also
in the War of 1812. A little to the right
is the grave of William Wallace, who
fought at Bemis Heights, October 7,
1777, and at Johnstown, October 25,
1781. After the latter battle he made a
perilous ride to carry dispatches through
the British lines to General Schuyler, at
Albany. And there are not only military
men, but also scholars, for several grad-
uates of Union College are found buried
here.
In the southwest corner of this grave-
yard is a granite cross on which is the
following: “Here stood from 1760 to
1772 St. John’s church, built by Sir Wim.
Johnson, Baronet; the first church north
of the Mohawk river.”
Johnstown has reason to feel proud
of this quaint little graveyard, where lie
those persons who have greatly helped
toward her history and prosperity. For,
as George Eliot says, “The growing
good of the world is partly dependent
upon unhistoric acts; and that things are
not so ill with you and me as they might
have been is half owing to the number
who lived faithfully a hidden life and
rest in unvisited tombs.”
The New S.N. C. Publication.
The April number of Monographs—
the new magazine devoted to pedagogy,
literature and science, and published by
the New York State Normal College—
filled with helpful and instructive articies
on leading educational topics. The ma-
gazine is edited by Dr. William B. As-
pinwall, Chairman; Dr. Leonard W.

At a meeting of the student
The New body on June first, the fol-
Staff lowing editorial staff for the
“Echo” for next year was
elected: Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Roy Van-
denberg; Assistant Editor-in-Chief, Miss
Marjory Bennett; Literary Department,
Miss Antoinette Johnson; News Depart-
ment, Miss Fannie Powel; Alumni De-
partment, Miss Louise Hersey; Ix-
change Department, Miss Genevieve

board. Some of them have already
demonstrated their excellent ability along
this line, and the others are only awaii-
ing an opportunity to prove their worth.
The retiring board extends to them best
wishes for future success and a bountiful
supply of sympathy for the “ knocks”
that are the inevitable portion of an
editor.
strong
Already the new Board of
Editors are preparing to take
up the important work that
has been placed upon them.
They are looking forward to next Sep-
tember with high hopes, which are how-
ever mingled with some fears and mis-
givings. They realize the fact that the
Echo is the only representative of its
kind that our college has, and that it
should therefore be worthy of the insti-
tution it represents. But they further
realize that no matter how well they
plan, how faithfully they work, or how
high are the aims and ambitions that
they set up, they cannot succeed unless
supported by the student body with sub-
scriptions and contributions.

Outlook

Some years ago Lowell, in an

Wieder- asked somebody the perti-

modity in the universe was so
rare as a day in June. Most people have
been asking the same question ever since,
while Normal students have been de-

above-mentioned scarcity. At least of
June days when the air is heavy with
French verbs, when the only sights which
pass before your vacantly staring eye
are mathematical formulae, when the
only fragrance that greets your nostrils
is that of the midnight oil and the only
sound which falls upon your ears is a
guilty conscience * flunk,

However, our college year will soon
be over and we shall all be taking our
leave of the S. N. C., some of us with
the expectation of returning in the fall
and cthers looking forward to the com-
mencement of work in new fields. Be-
fore “the parting of the ways”, the
Echo wishes to extend her hearty thanks
to those who have shown themselves her
loyal supporters, and best wishes for a
pleasant vacation to all.

The Delta Omega Play.
On the evening of May the twenty-
second, St. Andrew’s Hall was filled with
the invited friends of the Delta Omega
Sorority who had come to enjoy the pre-
sentation of the sorority’s annual play.
This year, however, the guests were
favored with two plays—“An Open
Secret’? and “Mrs. Oakley’s Tele-
phone.” Either play taken alone would
have made one feel “content with all
the world.” Taken together they formed
an evening of rare pleasure and enjoy-
ment. The sorority is to be congratu-
lated upon successfully living up to her
enviable reputation as an _ entertainer,
and her guests upon being numbered
among her friends.

For in comes one without a pause;

Others in the hall are coming the while.
Another, with golden hair and smile so

Comes in looking down at her feet.
And now a third who seems in great

For he has not a moment to waste;
His name I would not dare to tell,
But then you all know him very well.

Many new and helpful ideas were gained
which will aid us in correcting our own
special faults in this line.

Miss Ruth Paxson, a secretary of the

meeting was held. We learned many
facts about this movement in all parts of
the world, touching particularly on
China, Japan and Korea. Here again
we find an urgent call for our graduate
teachers. Miss Paxson remained the
guest of the Association till Friday even-
ing, and during this time held many in-
terviews with individuals as well as with
committees. So much good was derived
from her visit that we are looking for-

ward to meeting her at Silver Bay, and
also to her coming to Albany again next
year.
On May twenty-seventh Miss Angie
Finney was the leader of a meeting at
which ‘‘ What is Success?” was the in-
teresting topic under discussion. After
hearing a charming little story about the
“Lady of the big heart and shrunken
purse,” it was decided by all present that
the essential of success is the possession
of a great heart, noble desires and strong
faith. Miss Seaman favored us with a
vocal solo, which was thoroughly en-
joyed by all present. We wish to ex-
press our regrets over her leaving us
this June, for she has always answered
our calls upon her talents very willingly,
and we shall miss her.
