The sweetness of glory is so great that join it to what we will, even to death, we love it. The last thing we decide upon in writing a book is what shall be the first we put in it. Eloquence is painted thought, and thus those who, after having painted it add something more, make a picture, not a portrait. Those who force words for the sake of an antithesis are like those who make false windows for symmetry. Their rule is not to speak accurately, but in accurate form. In towns through which we pass we care not wheth er men esteem us, but we do care if we have to live there any time. How long is needed? A time in proportion to our vain and fleeting life. We are so presumptuous that we would fain be known by the whole world, even by those who shall come after, when we are no more. And we are such triflers that the esteem of five or six persons about us diverts and contents us. Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a camp follower, a cook, a porter makes his boasts, and is for having his admirers; even philoso phers wish for them. Those who write against it, yet desire the glory of having written well, as those who read their works wish a reputation for reading; I who write this have, may be, this desire and perhaps those who read it. It is no doubt an evil to be full of faults, but it is a greater evil to be full of them yet unwilling to recog nize them, because that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion. We do not like others to de ceive us, we do not think it just in them to require more esteem from us than they deserve; it is, therefore, unjust that we should deceive them, desiring more es teem from them than we deserve. The engineers are a little ahead with their “spring cleaning.” They have just finished cleaning boilers No. 3 and No. 4, and Nos. 1 and 2 are now being cleaned up. Dowd Franklin underwent quite a serious operation at the school hospital last Friday, for the setting of a dislocated shoulder. Harold Masten also submitted to a minor operation on one of his feet. These operations were performed by an eminent Salem surgeon with the assistance of the local staff. Both boys are report ed getting along very favorably at this time. One of the most successful socials of the school year was that held by the Junior and Freshmen members of the Little Flower Society and their friends on Sun day afternoon. There were over a hundred present and games were played throughout the afternoon, the finishing feature being the serving of a delicious lunch eon. All declared it to be a very enjoyable occasion and much credit is due the girls on the various com mittees who were so largely responsible for the suc cess of this social. The following pupils who were recently found to have incipient tuberculosis were transferred Monday to the Tacoma Sanatorium: Mae Plaster, William Warren, Sam Bourgeau, Earl Matt and Felician Cal- tomee. James Scott also left with them to return to the Yakima Sanatorium. Mr. Carrow took the party to Portland, in order that they might make better con nections. These pupils will be missed at Chemawa and we all hope they may have rapid recoveries and be back with us again soon. WHERE ARE THEY? Mr. P. A.
