STEREOPTICON LECTURE lLast Tuesday evening Mr. Hatt of Salem favored the student body with a stereopticon lecture in the school' chapel which was quite interesting; it also gave us a faint idea of the Oriental countries. The initial view was that of the' song, "Doxjlogy," which was followed by different views of steamships and the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to China. Then view after view gave us a little idea of the queer customs of the Chinese people. Some of thtm were rather pitiful scenes, especially the one about a chinaman who had formed a habit of smoking opium. He being a wealthy gentleman when he began smok ing the deadly stuff, but in a course of a few years his health being ruined, he died without money. The closing num ber of the progrpni was the song, u America." The student body was well pleased and thanked Mr. Ha tt for giving us the lecture. Hcademtc We are all very glad to see Agnes Driscoll enter our class. We all wish her success. Thos. McCully is teaching reading and spelling to the Fifth Normal this week.
