A. room since its thorough cleaning and redecoration. T he cost of re decorating the room, the repairing of furniture, and the purchasing of new chairs, curtains, shades, etc., has been about $150, but the im proved condition of the room shows that the money was well spent, and we hope that the improved appear ance of the room will also be indica tive of as general improvement of the association itself. T he Y. M. C. A. is very grateful to the College for repapering and redecorating the room, to the many students w ho contributed towards the purchasing of new furniture, to Mrs. Sackett for making the cur tains and to M r s. A. C. Anderson and Mr. Gunson for the beautiful palms and ferns.

T he Bible class for the short course men was organized last Sunday evening. Fifty men have signed up for the class, forty were present at the first meeting. Seven ty-five men attended Dr. Blaisdell's class Sunday afternoon. Classes in the study of " Condi tions in the E a s t" are to be organ ized at a very early date.

These in vitations can be obtained from the company commanders. It is to be hoped that the student body will co operate with the officers of the bat talion in their efforts to make these parties military in appearance as well as in name. '87. W . W.

In the good old times the pioneer farmer of N ew England w as a Jack at all trades. " F or more than one hundred and fifty years prior to 1780, the farm houses were unpainted, both outside and i n; the floors were uncarpeted, and in many houses the walls were unplastered, and a fire in an open fireplace was the only means of heating the cold, uninviting rooms occupied by the farmer's family. T he windows were small, and few in n u m b e r; the furniture, most of it of rude structure, was made by the farmer himself. " F or more than one hundred and the settlement of fifty years after town every farm-house was a the every manufactory, and almost farm-house. manufactory was a T he farmer's wife and daughters carded wool, prepared the flax and hemp, spun the yarn, wove the cloth, and made it into clothing to clothe the inmates of the household. " T he farmer built his farm build ings, and made and repaired most of his farm implements; he also made and repaired the shoes for his family family. T h us the farmer's was fed and clothed without going beyond his own farm, except for a very few things. In years of goed crops he had an abundance of food ; but when the crops failed, as they sometimes did, want, if not starva tion, stared him in the face. V e ry few of them had any money to buy food; and if they had, so small a portion of the country was settled that when crops were short in one part of the country they were in all other parts. " T he hoe was a heavy piece of iron, roughly forged out, and prob ably weighed as much as four of the hoes used at the present time. T he shovel and spade were forged out of iron with, in some cases, a small piece of steel welded to t he fork cutting edge. T h e' manure had than the tines much heavier tines of our present garden forks, and the pitch-forks had short tines almost as large as one's finger. T he old scythe used by the first settlers was forged out of iron, with a strip of steel welded on the edge ; but as early as 1649 Toseph J e n ks invented a new form of scythe by welding a thick piece of iron to a thin piece of steel and in 1656 got a patent for it. But for nearly t wo hundred years, the scythe was a heavy and a rudely implement, weighing constructed from two to three times what it will weigh scythe-snath was little more than a crooked stick, cut in the woods by the farmer, and smoothed by taking the bark off. T he rake was made by the farmer and was twice as heavy as the hand rakes of the present time. T he axe was heavy and roughly forged. today. T he " T he plough was but little more than a crooked stick, with an iron on the point, for nearly two hundred years after the town w as settled. T he first cast-iron ploughs were un k n o wn to the H i n g h am (Massachu setts) farmer until the beginning of the present century (1803). T w o- wheel carts, which with the excep tion of the wheels and axles, were made on the farm by the farmer himself, w ho sometimes called to his assistance a neighbor more ex pert with mechanical tools than the average farmer. T he corn was car ried to mill on the backs of horses and the farmer and his wife, having no carriage, rode on the same horse to market, or to church."—History of Hingham, Alassachusetts. T HE M. A. C. RECORD. ONE BY ONE. MY MOTHER'S 95TH BIRTHDAY. One by one, as the curtain of night Is gently drawn to close out the light Of the beautiful day, God's wonderful stars come peeping out Like the eyes of angels, half in doubt Of the waning day, this vast array, One by one. One by one with the soft spring showers There spring from the earth God's beau tiful flowers In gorgeous arrays. The hills they deck and the valleys be tween. They cover the earth like a beautiful screen. They come thru the days in most won derful ways, One by one. One by one, ere the bright leaves fall The fruit is ripened (to gladden all) On drooping bough. Then one by one we gather sheaves, Or gems from the mine, so we gather these. And we oft wonder how, to the topmost bough Some choice fruit clings till the last bright day. The fairest is gathered the last we say. One by one. One by one at the dawn of day The glorious stars fade gently away, But the brightest linger there And far above, in the bright blue sky One still remains and God knows why. It may be there are, by that lonely star, Some guided safe who roam afar; And we know his love can never forget. This star, like all^else, to his time is set. God gathers them all in, One by one. mm\ OUR SEMI-ANNUAL LOOM END AND NOTION SALE BEGINS Wednesday Mornina, at 9 o'clock I2'000 Doz. yds. imported Val. and tor- cheon Lace values, 5c, 8c, 10c ud. a O c.

N o w, whatever views the parents or the teachers themselves should bold upon the duties of teachers, there is no doubt that the boys should have firmly in their heads the good old fashioned that it is their idea duty to learn, and not that it is the duty of the teacher to teach them. Of all the habits and principles that make for success in a young man, the most useful is the determi nation to do and to do right all of those things which come his w ay each day, whether they are agree able or disagreeable; and the ability to do this is best acquired through long practice in doggedly doing along with that which is agreeable a lot of things which are tiresome and monotonous and which one does not like. We must remember that of all classes in the community, college boys are being trained to fill some day the position of leaders in the co operative field. And there is no fact better established than that the man who has not learned promptly and fully to obey an order is not fit to give one. — F. W . T A Y L OR in Science Nov. 9, 1906.
