The History of Dramatic Criticism
“When a child is tired of playing with a new toy” says Sir
Walter Scott in speaking of the drama, “its next delight is
to examine how it is constructed: and, in like manner, so soon
as the first burst of public admiration is over with respect to
any new mode of composition, the next impulse prompts us
to analyze and to criticise what was at first the subject of vague
and indiscriminate wonder.’ The origin of dramatic criticism,
then, we may say is instinctive. Its history properly began
4 THE Ecuo
with Dryden who, in 1665, twenty-three years after the original
school founded by Shakespeare and Ben Jonson had been
closed by the breaking out of the Civil War, wrote ‘““An Essay
of Dramatic Poesy.”
This essay is a sprightly contrast between the English and the
French drama and is written with a conviction which might
disprove Lowell’s remark that in matters of taste the Anglo-
Saxon mind seems to have always had a painful distrust of
itself. Dryden, in his inimitable fashion points out the superi-
ority of the English play and treats the drama from the point
of view of the principles and laws that underly it as an art
rather than the rules of technique that govern it as a craft.
He first sets.a standard. ‘‘For the lively imitation of Nature
being in the definition of a play, those which best fulfill
that law ought to be esteemed superior to the others.
I cannot but conclude, to the honor of our nation that we
have invented, increased and perfected a more pleasant
way of writing for the stage, than was ever known to the ancients
or moderns of any nation, which is tragic-comedy.” Of the
characters he says: ‘‘There is another part of Licideius’s dis-
course, in which he has rather excused our neighbors (meaning
the French) than commended them: that is for aiming only
to make one person considerable in their plays,’’—the tendency
of the French being to make the design of the whole drama
depend chiefly upon one character. He dislikes the French
adherence to the classic rules and cannot see why the barren-
ness of the French plot should be praised above the variety
and copiousness of the English. ‘By their servile observations
of the unities of time, place and integrity of scenes, they have
brought on themselves that dearth of plot and narrowness of
observation which may be observed in all their plays.” In
speaking of the French method of developing a play, he deplores
the long speeches, introduced by Cardinal Richelieu to comply
with the gravity of a churchman and says that French actors
Lirerary DEPARTMENT 5
speak by the hour glass like parsons. Stage decorum is another
subject for his interesting comments. The French did not allow
a combat, death or anything horrible to be portrayed upon the
stage; the English would scarcely allow those things to be
removed. ‘A mean betwixt both should be observed by every
judicious writer’ says Dryden, ‘‘so as the audience may neither
be left unsatisfied by not seeing what is beautiful, or shocked
by beholding what is either incredible or indecent.”” In short,
Dryden approved the Shakespearean model and in his criticism
emphasized the structure of the play.
The next dramatic critic of note was Sir Walter Scott who
wrote sometime before 1819 a brief survey of the English stage.
During the one hundred fifty years which elapsed between his
Essay on the Drama and Dryden’s essay there doubtless were
many dramatic critics. But they were not in the public eye.
There were no newspapers, no New York audiences to whom
new plays were to be passed on and no “‘stars’”’ to be exploited.
Those who expressed their ideas about the stage wrote them in
diaries or letters. Pepys is said to have been an inveterate
theatre goer and he recorded his opinions of many plays. Horace
Walpole mentioned various dramatic performances in his
letters and we find accounts in the diaries of Evelyn and others.
While these frank personal comments are intensely interesting,
it is safe to assume that Scott’s essay better represents the
type of criticism that existed during the early part of the nine-
teenth century.
Scott in commenting upon Jonson says that he was the first
who showed, by example, the superiority of a well-conceived plot,
all. the parts of which bore upon each other and forwarded
an interesting conclusion, over a tissue of detached scenes,
following without necessary connection or increase of interest.
The unity of plot which was emphasized so strongly by Dryden
led naturally to a study of the unity of character development
and Scott says in speaking of Massinger: ‘‘Were we to dis-
tinguish Massinger we should name that first of dramatic
=-

attributes, a full conception of character, a strength in bringing
out and consistency in adhering to it.” If we may take this
as the dominant note, it is quite opposite to Dryden’s. He
would let the plot determine the characters. Scott through
the characters would secure unity of plot. Scott also contrasts
ancient and modern audiences. The former went to the theatre
to listen, admire and be pleased, “they knew not why and
cared not wherefore.” The modern audience analyzed and by
subjecting authors to the rigid laws of criticism lost in genius
what they gained in taste.
In this connection it is interesting to read what Charles
Lamb has to say on dramatic topics in his “Essay of Elia.’”’ These
essays appeared in the London Magazine about 1821. Lamb
was especially keen about acting, emphasis upon which would
follow as a corollary to the emphasis upon character develop-
ment. Lamb believed decidedly in the art of acting. He did
not argue with the popular idea that an actor should entirely
lose himself and his audience in his part. Of stage illusion
he says: ‘“‘To see a coward done to the life upon the stage would
produce anything but mirth. Yet we most of us remember
Jack Bannister’s cowards. Could anything be more agreeable,
more pleasant? We loved the rogues. How was this effected
but by the exquisite art of the actor in a perpetual sub-insinua-
tion to us, the spectators, even in the extremity of the shaking
fit, that he was not half such a coward as we took him for?”
—“Amidst the trying circumstances of growing old, it is some-
thing to have seen ‘ The School for Scandal’ inits glory. Its -
hero, when Palmer played it at least, was Joseph Surface.
When I remember the gay baldness, the graceful, solemn plaus-
ibility, the measured step, the insinuating voice, to express
it in a word—the downright acted villainy of the part, so dif-
ferent from the pressure of concious, actual wickedness, the
hypocritical assumption of hypocrisy—which made Jack so
deservedly a favorite in that character, I must needs conclude the
present generation of playgoers more virtuous than myself. or
aan
Literary DEPARTMENT 7
more dense.—A player with Jack’s talents, if we had one now,
would not dare to do the part in the same manner. We are
spoiled with the exclusive and all devouring drama of common
life where the moral point is everything, where instead of the
fictitious half-believed personages of the stage, we recognize
ourselves and all our relatives—the same as in life—and cannot
let our moral judgment slumber for an instant.
Macaulay might have said: ‘‘Them’s my sentiments too,”
with the difference that he insisted upon keeping one’s moral
judgment awake. We cannot blame him. He made a study
of the dramatists of the Restoration. His scathing comments
are not to be applied to the drama of his day but the essay sets
up a standard of morals for the stage, and he entirely disagrees
with Lamb’s theory that those dramatists were not to be tried
by the standards of morality which exist and ought to exist in
real life. He says: ‘‘Whether a thing shall be designated by
a plain noun substantive or by a circumlocution is a mere
matter of fashion. Morality is not at all interested in the ques-
tion. But morality is deeply interested in this, that what is
immoral shall not be presented to the imagination of the young
and susceptible in constant connection with what is attractive.
In the name of art as well as of virtue, we protest against
the principle that the world of pure comedy is one into which
no moral enters.”
William Winter was the most noted of the modern dramatic
critics and the first American critic to be prominent. For several
years he criticised the plays presented in New York and these
critical essays, first published in the daily papers, were later
published under the title “Shadows of the Stage.’ They are
wonderfully written. The author knew what he was talking
about. His ideal of a play is expressed in ‘‘ Representative
American Plays.’’ In discussing ‘‘Alabama’”’ by Augustus Thomas
he says: “Mr. Thomas not only wrote a good play but set a
good example. There are many fine qualities in ‘Alabama.’
The story is acted instead of being related. Its persons are
8 Tue Eco
distinctly individualized. It is suffused with romance. It
imparts a high ideal of character and conduct. It is unob-
trusively humorous and unaffectedly pathetic. It does not
preach. Its style is clear and crisp. But perhaps the finest
of its qualities is that of dramatic suggestiveness.” It
seems to me that we have here a description of a perfect play
embodying all of the points which have been emphasized by
representative dramatic critics. Mr. Winter believes the stage
to be an institution higher and finer than any amusement and
that it possesses an influence second only to the hearthstone.
No man has a right to degrade its character or impair its use-
fulness. This influence is to be achieved by the personality of
the actor. ‘‘A bright period in the history of acting arrives
whenever it happens that one man has arisen, who to genius
and character adds devotion and goodwill. After Yarrick,
McCready and Kean, having made a golden era in stage history.”
Golden eras always retreat as we advance and at present we
look back to Irving as representing a golden era in acting.
We are perhaps a little too near our own time to see accurately
what place the present drama will occupy in dramatic history
but we fear that it will not represent a ‘“‘golden era.’’ Of the
very modern dramatic critics we may take Mr. Bernard Shaw
as representing the present type of criticism. He has published
two volumes of dramatic essays which are perhaps better known
in London than here. His criticisms are based upon the rules
of technique that govern the drama as a craft, for at present
dramatic production is decidedly a craft. He condemns a
certain play as being ‘written around Mrs. John Wood.” In
speaking of Mr. Pinero he says: ‘‘His machinery is obviously
bad. He is no interpreter of character but simply an adroit
describer of people as the ordinary man sees and judges them.”
Of another play he says that Mrs. Campbell pulls her author
through by playing him clean off the stage. He dislikes present-
day scenery and costumes and the automatic stage tricks
which are employed to convey emotion. Perhaps his most
"wins aaa
Literary DEPARTMENT 9
forceful plea for restoring the drama to its proper position as
an art is expressed in his criticism of ‘Guy Domville” by Henry
James. Its good qualities are first a rare charm of speech.
Second, ‘‘it is a story and not a mere situation hung upon a
gallows of a plot.” Third, “‘it relies on the performers for their
finest accomplishments in grace of manner, delicacy of diction
and dignity of style, and lastly “‘it will go when the right people
are in the theatre’’—which is an epitome of the present dra-
matic situation.

A Kanaka Luau
The following paper was written for Tur Ecno by Miss Helen L.
Emerson, Class of ’73, who went to Honolulu to teach, last January.
A few days before her departure for her new field of labor she met Mrs.
Mooney, who urged her to write something for Tur Eco after she had
had an opportunity to become acquainted with the life of the people
with whom she came in contact. When we read her paper we are con-
vinced that she has made good use of her opportunities and has shown
marked ability in describing vividly the picturesque scenes in which
she has found herself.
In her letter to Mrs. Mooney she says—‘‘I am seeing interesting things
every day and it is hard to select the most interesting.”
She mentioned places that she was about to visit and promised to
report some of her experiences. We hope for frequent articles from
her pen.
I am sure you will be interested in a Kanaka Luau, which
means a native feast.
Miss Felker, a teacher in the Public schools, was invited
to this luau, which was given by the family of one of her girl
pupils. The invitation allowed her to invite three friends and
to our delight, she invited two of the Priory teachers. The
occasion was an important one, it being the birthday of the little
son of the former pupil. The family are well-to-do Hawaiians
and no expense was spared to make the affair a success. Rela-
tives from the other islands were invited and about fifty people
from Honolulu, including the mayor.
Twenty-five people sat down at one time; the table was cov-
ered with ti (tea) leaves and beautiful ferns, there was neither
plate, knife, fork, nor spoon upon it. At each place there was
a beautiful ti leaf upon which was placed a large sweet potato,
also a calabash of poi which is the chief article of diet of the
poorer class and greatly enjoyed by all classes.
Some of these calabashes were made of the beautiful koa
wood, others were ordinary gourds.
Poi looks something like cornstarch pudding and is made
from the root of the taro plant.
There was also at each plate a raw fish, which had been cleaned
Literary DEPARTMENT rr
but had an occasional spot of blood upon it, which made it more
appetizing for some of the guests but caused a few at the first
table, at least, to wonder what they should do with it.
A hog had been cooked ina hole in the yard, also fish and
lobsters. The fish had been cooked as taken from the ocean,
and their beautiful colors were very attractive to look at.
At intervals on the table were piles of hot pork, fish, lobsters,
raw liver, raw crabs and live shrimps, the latter were placed
in a kind of basket, also raw sea urchins, balls of pickled sea
weed and pudding made of sweet potatoes and cocoanut. The
pudding was cut in slices and covered with a sauce made of
cocoanut milk and sugar.
When all were seated, a young girl passed a bowl of water
into which each person thrust his or her fingers, drying them
upon a towel carried by a second girl. An old man arose and
said grace, the length of which allowed the unitiated to become
accustomed to raw fish and squirming shrimps. All things
come to an end at last and the grace was no exception to the
rule, and now the feast began.
I confess it was rather embarassing to know just how to begin
with no accustomed “implements of warfare’ at hand. The
natives were not at all at a loss; they thrust their fingers into
the poi and there was nothing else for the (malihinies) strangers
to do but follow suit.
The method of eating poi is peculiar to the Hawaiians and
must be seen to be fully appreciated, but you may get some
idea of it from my imperfect description. They thrust their
first two fingers into the sticky mass, give them a twist, and
it is surprising to see the quantity that adheres when one is
thoroughly in earnest. They then throw the head back, thrust
their fingers into the mouth until it would seem the tips must
touch the palate. They withdraw the fingers with a flourish
of the arm which throws the hand almost in the face of their
right-hand neighbor, and the smack of the lips can be heard
many feet away.
r2 Tue Ecxuo
Nothing was passed; you simply reached out and helped
yourself to whatever appealed to you.
In these days, one reads much of the progress of the raw food
cult, but I have never yet read of a menu that included raw
fish, raw liver, and squirming shrimps, and I wonder if the
progress will continue until it includes them. If so, the Hawaiians
are at the apex already, for their enjoyment of the raw edibles
was much greater than of those which had been cooked.
Occasionally a shrimp would wiggle out of the basket; with
much laughter three or four would make a grab for it, and the
lucky one made short work of biting off its head and disposing
of its bit of carcass.
One of the Priory party came near getting a mouthful of raw
liver thinking it was chocolate pudding, but on the whole I
think the Priory party adapted themselves to the unfamiliar
feast in a manner that would cause the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions to be proud of them.
The amount of food consumed was not regulated by the
amount physiologies tell us is necessary to support life, nor
was the mastication done on principles laid down by Fletcher,
but was limited by the capacity of each individual.
After one had torn fish apart with his fingers, thrust them
into cocoanut milk and sugar, to say nothing of poi and fat
pork you may imagine it was a welcome sight when a girl,
bearing a washbowl of water, appeared; and very thankful
were we that our seats at the table allowed us to have access
to it among the first, the water not being renewed.
It is a common thing for the natives to fatten dogs with poi
and eat them at their luaus, and it is said the flesh can not
be distinguished from pig, so you may imagine it was a great
relief to have a pig’s tail for the center piece at this luau.
During the dinner boys and girls played their native instru-
ments and sang native songs.
When all were filled to overflowing we were entertained by
a Hulu dance, first two women then a man and woman danced.
Lirerary DEPARTMENT 13
The women did not wear the native grass skirt, but a holoku,
which is an improvement on our Mother Hubbard wrapper.
The dance is not much like ordinary dancing, the dancers
remaining in one place, but moving their bodies into many
graceful positions. They are accompanied by a kind of low
chant to which their movements keep perfect time. Instruc-
tion begins at very early age as it takes years of patient labor
to acquire the suppleness of limb and muscle. It is said that
there are now no young girls in Honolulu who can dance the
Hulu, the custom having died away as civilization advanced.
The movement begins with the right hand, then up the
entire arm, then the left hand and arm, then the right foot
and leg, then the left foot and leg, then the chest and finally
the abdomen, and it is wonderful to see into how many shapes
that part of the anatomy can be rolled.
Following the dance the company sang Aloha, in Hawaiian,
as a farewell to their guests.
Aloha is the word we speak
From sweet Hawaii's sunny shores;
It sounds from ev’ry mountain peak—
On ether wings, abroad it soars.
Aloha is the word we sing
When love unlocks the selfish heart;
With it our joyous voices ring
Forth all best wishes when we part.
Aloha is the word, God-giv’n
To welcome friends and sometimes foes;
*Twas spoken first to man from Heav’n
And o’er the earth it conquering goes.
—HE LEN L. Emerson,
St. Andrew’s Priory,
Honolulu.

certainly worthy of being continued.
Mr. Wood, the treasurer of the Class suggested its purchase,
borrowing the idea from the Class that gave the elaborate bul-
letin board at Chicago University.
The design is carried out in black walnut in the same effect
as the other furnishings of the building, so that it harmonizes
perfectly with its surroundings.
Minerva
We are glad to welcome back Minerva in her beautiful new
white robes. She is an old friend of whom we have heard much
and whom we have always longed to meet. She graced the

CoLLEGE NEws Ly,
The following is taken from the Albany Evening Journal,
Sept. 13.—
Two members of the Faculty of the State Normal College
have become Benedicts during the vacation season. They
are Prof. Adam A. Walker, who was married to Miss Jessie
Lockworth on June 24 at Potsdam, and Prof. Winfred Corn-
wall Decker, who on Tuesday was married in Susquehanna,
Pa., his bride being Miss Louise Autis. The ceremony was
performed at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles F. Curtis, by the Rev. Robert C. Galbert of the Sus-
quehanna First Presbyterian Church. The bride was gowned
in white chiffon voile and carried a shower bouquet of white
roses. There were no attendants. They are now residing at
276 Morton avenue, this city.
On Wednesday, June 30, 1909, Miss Jane Doyle was united
in marriage to Mr. Joseph Bell.
One of the most delightful features in the furnishings of our
new college is to be found in the divided tablet, invented and
patented by Miss Mary McClelland, who has for many years
been associated with this institution. This tablet, attached
to the chairs of the lecture rooms, fills a long felt need and we
feel sure that it is greatly appreciated.
On Saturday evening the Faculty held their annual reception
for the entering class.

Owing to the removal of the “‘Chili Parlor,’ we must seek
another retreat after our meetings.
All of our members report most pleasurable vacations in

Hbout College
Our College
No—it is not a dream.—lIt is real—real—real. And the
words are a refrain in the minds of the older teachers and the
seniors as they wander smilingly up and down the long corridors,
drinking in happiness with eyes that shine with pride—the pride
that can come only through long years of waiting and watching.
Yes, we have a college of our own now, and the one that will
always be dearest to our hearts—though you may coax us as
you will with visions of Columbia, Vassar, Harvard or Yale—
is at Albany—our own State Normal College at Albany. For
have we not watched for this three long years? Has it not been
our cheer and comfort when vexed or tired to repeat half play-
fully, half in earnest, ‘‘Never mind, dear heart, in the new
college we shall have ‘space for the body and space for the
soul’’’? Have we not watched the site being prepared, and
drawn our breath sharply when we saw the foundations laid?
Yes, all this and more than we can ever tell but to-night we will
forget and be happy for truly no one ever had better cause.
And behind the Seniors come the Juniors, joyous and bright-
eyed, but no—it does not mean quite so much to them though
they think it does. They were not of the Pioneer Class who came
when the smoke was still fresh in the little old primary chapel.
To be sure, the sound of the alarm clock bell and the sight of
lap-boards is familiar to them and they have bravely followed
our footsteps but it is not quite the same to them and they see
tiny—oh very tiny imperfections, where we, the elders, only
see the beauty of dreams realized.
And then come the Sophomores arm in arm, the Freshmen
of last year. We listen half jealously to their enraptured cries
but no—they are not so happy but that they can talk while
26 Tue Ecuo
we whisper to ourselves “Silence is the perfectest herald of joy.”
The dear children are like delighted tenants coming to a new
home. We smile at them contentedly. They have two more
years to learn to love their Alma Mater as we do.
And the freshmen—oh well, we were all freshmen once—wide
eyed and expectant. We can only share our happiness with
them by welcoming them with open hearts to the queen of all
colleges—our own new Normal College at Albany.
—Emily Hoag, 'ro.
The Faculty Reception
On the first Saturday evening after college opened the students
of the State Normal College enjoyed a reception given by the
Faculty. The reception rooms off the large entrance hall were
thrown open and it made an ideal place for entertainment.
It was a delightful evening, for here the Freshmen had an
opportunity to meet the members of the Faculty and their
fellow students, and the other classes to renew old acquaintances
and friendships.
The Y. W. C. A. Reception
On Friday evening, September 18, the Young Women’s
Christian Association entertained the Faculty and students.
The first part of the evening, the guests were much amused
by a novel entertainment. After so much hearty laughter
the need of sustenance was felt and ices were served. Then
the rest of the evening was spent “tripping the light fantastic toe.”
All seemed to have a most enjoyable time.
Leaves from a Freshman’s Diary
Tuesday, Sept. 7, t909g—
Arrived in Albany this afternoon at two. The depot is dread-
fully big. I was trying to carry my suitcase and hat bag in one
hand when I dropped them and stepped on a man’s toe with
a red hat and a nice girl with a S, N. C. badge came along and
Axsout COLLEGE 27
picked them up and put me on a car. Finally we got to the
college and walked way around the building so we could come
in the front way. It’s bigger than the depot. I asked a Senior
if the white lady in the front hall were the Statue of Liberty.
She looked at me rather scornfully and said it was Minerva
and asked me if I had my course made out. Before I could
answer another girl hustled me off to a dear little tea room.
While we were there a dog named Colonel came in and ate some
crackers. Miss. Pierce introduced me to a girl with a tear in
her eye and asked me if I wanted to be her roommate. She
looked rather nice except for the tear so I said “yes.” We
found a lovely room but my trunk hasn’t come. I'd feel so
much better to see something from home. I’m so tired and I
do hope I’m not going to be homesick.
Wednesday, Sept. 8, r909g—
Went to Chapel. The girls told me to follow the crowd but
the crowd was going in all directions so I lost my way three
times and finally had to ask a girl that looked so stuck-up that
I knew she was a Sophomore. Everyone stood around the
edges of the room as if afraid of falling in. It did slant some.
Maybe it was a mistake like the Ecno. I think I’ll ask Dr.
Milne. No trunk yet. Wrote letter home.
Thursday, Sept. 9—
Didn’t get to any classes today because I couldn’t find the
room until the class was excused. I think I’m going to like
my roommate. She thinks my new dress is pretty. My trunk
has come at last and my doll’s head got smashed. I covered
‘it-all up so my roommate couldn’t see it. I don’t suppose she
has one.
We went down town today. All the way along we saw signs
in the windows with a big H or V. P. The English teacher
told us to draw our own conclusions about a piece of work
before we consulted anyone. Se we made up our minds that
they were for the ice man, Hurry and Very Pressing but we
were wrong for a Sophomore told us that they had Hagaman’s
28 Tue EcHo
bread for sale in the houses. They must eat lots of bread in
Albany. Bought a second-hand Latin book and a pony today.
I must begin that awful English theme on the College. My
roommate insists that the chairs have two arms. I know they
haven’t for I nearly fell off one in French class yesterday.
Sometimes I think she’s a little bit disagreeable. Never mind,
she’ll get a ? if she’s wrong . No more tonight, ‘‘a’ la revoir”
(I think that’s right).
Friday, Sept. ro.—
It rained today so the Reception was postponed. My room-
mate wore my rubbers and hers were too big forme. I put my
cloak and umbrella in a sort of tin box down stairs. I think
they call them lockers. I don’t feel so lonesome tonight for I
have the picture of our cat at home hung up by the mirror
where Ican lookatit. Last night I dreamed I heard him meow.
Saturday, Sept. 11—
Today was the longest day I ever had except the day before
Christmas at home and even that was not so long. We went
for a tramp with the Y. W. C. A. girls all up around the hospital
and Pine Hills. The air was fine and the Junior who was with
me told me all about how she’d flunked math three times and
that apples were good for the complexion. She ate four on the
way that we found under a tree out in the country. Finally
we got on a car and we paid five cents and each got a long
yellow slip that I couldn’t make out. I think they were tran-
spires. Anyway the next car we got on to the man took them
away from us.
Tonight we went to the reception. I was awfully scared
but my roommate said she wasn’t. I sort of like her after all.
She did my hair the new way and said she thought my new
pumps were perfect dears. We had a splendid time. I think
that college with its big reception rooms is the most beautiful
place in the whole world.
Why the curtains are even lined with satin! My room-mate felt
of them.
Axsout COLLEGE 29
It’s late so I must stop.
Sunday, Sept. 12—
I didn’t wake up until late this morning. A Junior took us
to church and they sang a hymn we sing at home sometimes
and I cried when no one was looking. Wrote another letter
home and then went in to see if my room mate were asleep and
what do you think? She was hugging her doll! I’m so glad
I’m sure I like her now. A girl told me I look like a cousin of
hers today. ‘Bun Nooey” dear Diary.
Monday, Sept. 13—
I understand what blue Monday means now. Oh! dear I
got my algebra examples all worked out and I forgot and left
them home. I lost my door key and found out you are not
supposed to bring trots to class with you and I saw that girl’s
cousin and she is as homely as a hedge-fence. I'd just like to
take the next train home.

The full course of study consists of two scholastic years. Any
student who has conformed to the requirements of the Regents as to
general education may enter the Junior class, and upon com-
pletion of the two year course, and passing the required examina-
tions. will be graduated with the degree of LL.B.
Students who must spend three years in preparation will find
this course very desirable since it gives an opportunity to spend one
year in clerkship, enabling them to obtain the benefit of office ex-
perience and practise, during the time allotted to preparation for
their final examination for admission to the bar.

motion. We have enabled thousands upon thousands of them to advance in
our 17 years of experience.
What does this mean to YOU? It means that, no matter what your
circumstances are, the I. C. S. offers you to-day an easy, cheap, and sure
