that the student shall receive the drill and atmosphere necessary for permanent progress. In our colleges, in particular, it is absolutely essential that the student be allowed a wider range of reading, to ensure fluency and proficiency. It is not the province of teaching merely to acquire, but also to retain. It must not be the aim of instruction to limit its vision to the years of college life only; but the teacher must have a wider scope and so inspire and interest the student that he may retain his love for study after leaving the campus, and utilize his knowledge of language and literature as a daily possession. Then will college education be more genuine and more respect be felt for university influences.

A Song of Endeavor

ALONZO RICE, SHELBYVILLE, IND.

Oh! sit not down despairing,
Nor deem the battle done;
The laurel worth the wearing
Is worthy to be won!

The farther up the fairer
Unfolds the scene below;
Then upward, banner-bearer,
And brave the fields of snow.

The stars there closer cluster,

The skies are nearer bowed;
All shine with brighter luster,
Undimmed by any cloud!

Not half way up the mountain
The crystal waters drop;
Your thirst slake at the fountain
That gushes from the top.

Heed not the lips confessing
Rare visions of delight;
But onward still be pressing,

And keep the goal in sight.
