TO AN EDUCATED MAN, skill in writing is indisp ensab.1 e. It is often necessary for him to pr·esent his views on paper, and if h e has not acquired th e r eqni site perfection l tow embarrassing and profitless it will be to his reputation !

* **

FREQUENT WRITING, n ot only enables us to impro ve in composition- but while reading, we are iuclnced to critically examine the synthesis of the work in hand, and notice where its strength and we akness lie. B y this mean s we prevent ourselves from committing like error s.

***

If~NC E , we strongly urge more of the students to 1vrite essays for our .JOU R NAL. \Ve are ever Teady to assist and encourage the student, and publish his article . Nearl y all of our old students, that are to day promin ent j ournalists, have r eceived their first instrn ctiou, i n the art, while at their "A lrna mater. "

* **

IT I S NOT NECESSARY, th at you should write mneh at a time; but what you do wri te, write it ,.vith care. D o not be afraid to r evise your compositio n, n ever :fear to cut out or to insert. Rem ember· that all t he g reat m ast ers, in · writing, have labored m ost assidno usly on this p oint. Think earnestly, over yom· su bj eet, before penning your ideas. If you · thi nk faithfnl!y, other thin gs being equal, you . are snre, in tillle, to write ,so that people will cheerfully recei1·e at'1d m ost willin gly aud carefu lly r ead and r etain your procl u d ion;;.

ANNIVERSARY POEM. BY

Louis

FAJ,LEY.

There scan·e in all thi s world so Ya.st and wid Cl, Exists a chu rch or nation t ha t asi•1 e From any oth er day throug hout the year, Has not one day which is to it m ost dear.

One d ay upon which all cares to forg et, One day on which to do nought but to let, The heart rejoice o'er all the blessings brought It by the past; to honor those who've sought To do it good; to honor ev e n more Those of its me mbers who ha ve gone b efore And shown tll e pathway t o be fo llowed now Thro ug h life, just as the guide wi10 throu g h the snow Of Alpin e heig hts the tra ve ller leads, and from Tl1e pitfalls warns him lest one prove hi s tomb.

Tlto ug h we' r e but fe w, we ioo llave our feast-day; And glad we are all, for u. time to lay Asi cle our ca res and r ej o ice as but th e y o ung Can , joyful more than bn.s been said or sung.

The year, r e volving, round, has )Jrougllt once more To us, the anniversary o£ our 8ociet · ·~ ~half a score and three right years it is since this society iVa.s funned; and as we · prourlly cour,t those years The progress we have m~.de iu thrm appears More manifest, a:1d gi:ves us courage an e w Mc,re zealously our studies to pursue, To-day we pa use a li ttle whi le to think, To call hack a ll the memories which link Our hearts to those who've been here and who've gone And now, perhaps, pursue this earth upon Their various C::].llings or perhaps, above Are happy in their home of eterna l love.

To-day we pause, ani backward look along The rO>td of Time stretcbing far off among The shadows of the past, al}d m rtr ked by br:ght And happy anniversaries, whir.h like white Mile-sto:-:es fvllvw its comse and briug us back To past dreds whicll perhaps our mem'ries laek.'

And as we thus the pleasant course review ( H c•ur eociety we see lew, ·with our imaginations' eyes, who strmrl Aboye the oLhers, and whose names tile band Of Histvry on ~1emory's tabl ets has Inscribed in g lo wing, vivid leLters, ns The founder s of this o rganization Or benef:•.ctors of it; few or nvne There arc he re present wh o hn.ve found it hard To hon or, to almost love a Bemrd, A Foster, a 1\IcKune, a Galligan,

A Re illy, or a TJi!o.mey,!!, Mc0JJ,li1-D, A Hunt, or McGrath, Ol' a Le gl'i~, A U.y11,n, or a Slul!nnot),. a Murpfiy.

Bu ) m oi'e than these, a W a lsh, a Cana van, Standing with them a 'Cond on, a S canla n Cla im our attenti on·, our hi g hest es t <?em.

Indeed it must to all na tural seem T o think wit.h grate£nl, lovin g m e mo r i~s OJ,' th ose few who were our so ciety's lTirst founders, anrl in its first- stl·uggli }tg yea rs Exp en .:lerl npon it so many car es And strove to mnke it powerful anti strong, Th:tt it might live and l.brive tbrong h many l.ong, Lon g y ears . 0 felio<v-m t mbers, how should swell Onr uent:ts with pride we feel in those who weJI Their parts b.tve a ct e d; how we lov e th eir fa med An cl worLl ry deeds to be a dmired and nam ed!

In these dnys of political d evelopments and v a ~t intellectunl growth of Arn ericn, we often ask our s eh~s jn regnrding th ese w c; nd e r~, '''VIiat has the future in store for us?''

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS . lois de sagesse et de simpli cité. Aussi remarque-t-on entre la première et la seconde cré:lt ion, entre l'œuvre des six j ours et la formation de l'Eglise, une m erveilleuse analogie. Nous connaissons tou :> cet~e page à la fois simpl~ et sublim e qui commen~e nos SaintH Livres et où :Moïse nous montre l' uni vers sorta nt des mains du Créateur. En méditant quelque peu Cf· r écit elu poète inspiré il est facile d'y reconnaître · avec le Docteur angélique trois époques tt comme trois œuvres di:;tiuctes dans l' œ uvre générale de la création: la création elle-m ême, la diHtinction, l'ornem entation. Rappelez à votre esprit ce prem ier chapitre de la Genèse; vous vous en convaincrez facilement. Au comme neement Dieu crée le ciel e t la terre. ~a t erre est ir,forme et. nue; tous les élémen ts sont '-!Onfundus :-u'cst le <·haos.

Mais l'Esprit d e Dieu plane au-dessns de ce t abîme immense. L'œuvre de la distinction commence. Dieu ùistingue au premier jour la l11mi ère des ténèbres; au seeond, le firmament ou les eaux SUI)érieures des eaux inférieures; au troisième la terre d'avec les eaux, qui reçoivent le·nom de mer. Puis vienc n,nx trois clernier!:i j ou rs et dans un ordre parallèle l'œuvre cle l'ornNnentation: ornementation succe.•sive des c ieux, de l'espace et de la terre elle-m ê me dans la création successive aussi des astres, d es oiseaux, des animaux et de l'homm e.

Cette triple gradation de l'opérati on divine, ce triple travail de création de'S" distinction et d 'ornementation on le retrouve Pncore dans l'étalJlis.>e ment e t le développement de l'Egli se.

I C' é tai~ ;l la suite du lamentable drame ùe l'Et1en.

L'homme tombé et banni franchissait pour j;tmais les portes du céleste jardin. l{eport:tnt .alors sa pellsée sur les l•iens qu'il avait perilu s, il eentit pour la première fois son flme tourmentée d'une douleur grande comme In. mer. Lui le roi du momle visible Pt le cbef-d'œuvre du TrèH-Haut; lu1 à qui la nature entière sunriait et qui nageait tlans . le bonheur au sein de cet Eden, son séjour et son bercN1U; lui <:\ qui l'immortalité t endait les bras et qui d e vait url jour voir et posséd er Dieu, il <i cvrait d ésormais pleurer ct munrir; pui s, comllle l'a si Lien chanté le poète: l\Iesurant d ' un regm·d les fatales limites JI s'assit en pleurant aux portes interdite::;. ll entendit cle loin <ians le divin séjom L'harmonieux soup:r cle l'é ternel amour, Les ncceuts rlu bonh eur, les saints cotH.: erts d~s a.nges (lui, dans le sei n de Dieu, cé l6braicnt ses louan ge:;; Et s'urrachant tlu ciel dans un JH~nib le effl)rt, Son ce il avec e1froi r etomba sur son sort..

René F'ran çois Auguste, Vi comte de Chateaubriand, nnquit à Saint Malo, en Bré tagne, le 4 septembre, 1768, près rl'une demeu re où devait nattre , quatorze n.ns plus t.arrl, l'infortuné abbé de Lamennais. Il étn.it le dern ier d'une f11.m ille rle dix enfants et son p è re )tl dé.,tinait à la marine. Cependant comme il molltrait quelques !lispositions pour la prê trise, il commen ç·t jans ce b ut ccrtn.incs é tudes. Il fut d é tomné !le cette sain tf: vocation pnr. la lecture de certains ouvwge:> impit:>~ qn i laissèrent <l e fort· m:<uvn.ises irllpres~ i ons dan3 son cœ ur. Il devint méJan. coliqne ·à l'excès, Je désespoir s'ernpam de sonitme, et il était u n jour sur le point de se suicider lorsque la rencontre rl'un serv iteur l' en empêcha . Telle était la condition de cette intelligenc<~ suvérieurc au temps de sa jeunesse. J ean-J<1cques R ousseau avait empuisonné ce jeune cœ ur.

La Révolution survint, Jes nobles forent dispersés aux q na1 tre vents du ciel et Chateaub ri a nd quitta la F rance,découra.gé. Pour chas~er les sombres penséesqui le troublaient Ji résolut de voyager et :;.:'embarqn:t pour les Etats-Uni~, pays d'avenir et de liberté, dont il avait tant entendu parler pendant son je une ilge. Il dina un jo ur avec ' Vasllingtion, ù. Phi lar1elphia, et remporta un souvenir touchant cle ce gra11d h omme. JI visita les vi lles de l'Est, les ·cb\.ltes <l e Ni: tgar:l., lr.s forê ts et les plaines vi rginales de l'Ouest. lVIis en rap port avec les enfants de;:; bois, il recuillit les n ot es qu i servirent plus tard à la compos ition cl' Atala; ou les amours de deux sau·vages clans le désert, nuvr: •ge d'un style admirable, mais daogereux par les pa~sions qu'il exc ite. ll retourna en France en '92. Après avoir cmbrass0 sa mère a Saint Mnlo, il s'en a lla j oind re l'a rm ée des Alliés. En '97 nous le trou v ons expatri é en Angleterre, souffrant de la pauvreté, et employ é à son E ssai sur l , les R évolutions, qu'il publia à Londres eette an née-h1. l En '98 il reçnt la tri s t e uo uv e ll e du g uill oLin e ment de ; son f rère, çle sa belle-sœur, et de son am i .Males l, erbe8 à Ï Paris.

Now then as regards elocution in it~> relationshtp to eocjallife. I bold, that when properly U1lderstood and practiced, it is wort.hy of taking rank as one of the fine sris. Some may say it is preposterous to place elocution as a fine art. ·w ell what are fine arts? You will sa}\ tnusic 1 vocal and ins ' rumen~~ l, the dramatic nrt, painting, drawing, sculpt ure, architecture etc. Wl1y '0\re these called line arts P No doubt you will answer: "We call them fine arts, because all of thew an~ arts tha t give bea•1t y and grn.ce to civili~ed life: or th ey are arts which combine in a higll dcgree 1 the gratificat ion· of p'ure and refin ed taste, with the exercise of an enligiJteneci iu tellect and an exacted im agination." If this is a true definition ()f the fine arts, then I think that elocution as I have d rfioed it may be ranked in the category of fine arts. Let us take the instance of !:>Orne sitnt)le, thoug h uea utiful poem, read aloud in the family OT social circle; and there, if it hn.s been rendered with p:tri ty of in tonll t iun, and all discrimination in emphasis, nud a ll the other elements requisite to convey the true m~anin g anct expression, Jet me ask whether it is not one of t,b o~-e nr ts wb.i dJ imparts a charm to soeial iuterco ur.;se, fli nt! iend a grnce to ordinary life-in a word, whether it is not on e of t he tine nrts ?

When nil t he requisites tha t form a really goo<i reader or spc.'l kn:r are taken- in to Qonsideration, I ·think we m<"~y we ll wond er, r. ot so mu cllthat the accomplishment is far to generally negleeted but that it does not fon, ;, with all who look upon ed uca tion in its true light and ro ~n niu!!, t he d rawing out of · all our best faculties, an i mpot·tan t means is early-nny, in all ~tages of life as w ell as iu a ll clmses of society, for refining and elevatin g the minci, for culti vating true sympathies, and for q uickening anrl cie ve i•Jpin g those habits of preception a nd a ppreeia.t.ion c>f the hea utiful in all arts, which, when once acqu ired, generally endure throughout life, and are so precio us in th emselves, and so valuable to us a nd our fell o w creatures.

In 0 11e of t he locals ( prize) a sub- teacher is criti. ci zerl fur snubb ing so me of the gush noticed among the pupils. Of course the people of such a "dude-factory'' could no t brook the impud ence of a sub-teacher. Oh no!

Says tbe K alamnoo Oollegelndex in a recent number; •'We cann ot da bble in poli tics for the politics of the country do not sui t ns." And th e writer gives some reasons why he ca nnot enter t il e v a ri ous parties before th e peopl e of this co untry. Continuing he adds : "As to religio n we are orthodox, s lig htly ir. clined to be liberal bu t in no se nse den_2mina tiona l in our ideas" . . . . "We do not ex pect to please a ll but in a voiding extremes we shall try to he nefi t all a nd injnre none." To the politic·d par t o f t hi s ann ou nce ment we take no exception.

But in the ex posiLion of its reli g io us ten e ts the Index shows a wa ver in g prir. c iple whi e h if it mea ns any tbir.g, means th at tb ere is no r el igio n at a ll b ehind it. Wheu there is q uestion of p leasmg people by our religion it then beco mes a sha m a nd like all shams soon appears in its t r ue colors. When a schoo l loses its religious. influences it loses its geatest help a nd its power to do good is Jessene(l to a great extent. T o a want of such influencn in our schools and Colleges cuu he traced the innumerable evi ls among the young and the loss of faith among the ol rler people of our country.
