LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS.
The last meeting for this school term, of the League of Women Vot- ers was held at the College Club by the invitation of Miss Van Bibber. Junior nominees were invited to be- come members; a temporary presi- dent, Mary Johnson, and a secretary, Mabel Pohler, were elected, and the tentative program for next year was presented.
Program 1925-1926.
1. Study of the World Court and the problem of our participation.
2. Survey of Civics Teaching in Maryland.
3. Study of Party Principles.
4. Study of the Constitution in connection with the Wadsworth- Garrett amendment, and other prob- lems.
This tentative program was drawn up at the Intercollegiate Meeting held May 26, at the club rooms of the Maryland Branch of the League.
The survey of civics teaching is to be the most important project of the year. The work will be divided as follows:
Western Shore, the two Normal Schools-Elementary Schools in the counties.
Hood College and Western Mary- land College-High Schools.
Goucher College - City High Schools.
Notre Dame-Private Schools.
Eastern Shore, the Normal School at Easton-Elementary Schools.
Washington College-High Schools. In thus dividing the problem among the various educational insti- tutions we hope to get a full report upon civics teaching in the entire State, to be published in a bulletin next spring.

TO NEWELL HALL.
We won't forget-when we grow old Oh! walk to the end of the rainbow The days at Newell Hall;
The jingling of the jailer's keys Who kept us in the walls.
Or the mad, wild rush at lunch time And the line there used to be,
And the little red ticket that admit- ted us And the "starved out" looks we used to see.
And e'er our lengthy assignments were done
The old clock in the tower chimed ten,
And then a tapping at the door And the "lights out" call again.
And now as we are soon to go, Inmates no more to be,
We'll ne'er forget old Newell Hall Where life was fun and glee. The Menu, APPLE, CHEEZE, RICE.
TO THE LAND OF FAIRY- LAND FOLK.
Can you tell me where to find the fairies
And elves and pixies too
When they dance in the moonlight yellow
O'er the violet's velvety blue.
Can you tell me where the gnomes work
And toil through the livelong day, Down in the dark, damp coal mines Shut off from the sun's bright ray ?
That glows after April showers; There you will find elves and fairies Fluttering 'mid fragrant flowers.
Then walk still farther, I prithee, Down to where the brooklet ends; There you will find each busy gnome As each to his own task he bends.

OUR AIM.
We, the students of M. S. N. S., Are striving for more and not for less.
The road of life is hard and rough, But we have power and might enough
To carry any ship o'er the billowy sea
And joyfully triumph in
the end with glee;
So character, loyalty, vim and right
Is what we uphold with all our might.
In this great throng of ours
We hope and resolve to kindle the fires
Of honesty, honor and justice for- ever,
And all wrong from us now we must sever
To arms! To arms! ye noble band, We will foster and better this land. A citizen we will be today,
Not a minute will we delay;
Resolved to live by truth and right, And enter in the struggle and fight. Let our banners float on high
And trample dishonor and let it lie. Remember, things
are gained through work,
And fame everywhere does not lurk., But struggle, struggle, with God Geoghegan and Whitehead love to dance
ahead, And all thy wants will be fed.

RAH, FOR THE PINE TREE TROOP.

wonders. In the fall and spring our meetings alternated between in- door, where we spent our time pass- ing tests and playing games, and out- door, where we had "ripping" good times on hikes. As a result of our Scout work, we have been able to have two investature services, the first conducted by Miss Keating, of Baltimore, and followed by a most delightful candy pull; the second, conducted by Miss Anita S. Dowell, of our own teaching staff, at which ser- vice seventeen became Second Class Scouts, the rest taking Tenderfoot degrees.
In order to raise money we held a "Pussy Willow Sale" in the early spring. With the proceeds of the sale we purchased a silk flag for the use of the school. Not content with helping raise money for ourselves ( selfishness is not a Scout's ideal) we sent four of our sisters, who be- long to the Glee Club, to sing at the benefit of the Baltimore Scouts who were holding a meeting at the Y. W. C. A. building.
Among the most interesting of our Scout activities was the annual song contest, which just recently ended. This year our seven patrols brought ; in quite a variety of songs, set to popular and familiar tunes, and we were at quite a loss when it came time to select the very best of so many different types. Finally we ! voted in favor of the
song to the tune of 'Mariannina":
Over hills and 'cross the meadows green,
Hiking Scouts of the Pine Tree are seen,
In all nature finding joy serene, Loving ever to be free;
Strong in honor, purity; Striving ever glad and kind to be, Ever true, loyal too,
Hail to thee! the Troop of the Pine Trec!
As a conclusion to our real Scout work we sent a number of our sis- ters to the Scout rally on May 16th to receive merit badges. They all came back with honors, and the number of badges received that day far exceeds the number ever won before in the history of the school.
Our one big social event was the dance which we held early in March, but even more that that did we en- joy our week-end at the Craft Club Cottage. There, though mid rather crowded conditions, we lived next to nature and "roughed it," as we never had before. And now, as the year draws to a close, with new offi- cers elected and Scout work over, We Seniors carry away happy mem-
ories, while the Juniors look forward with hopes of another year fraught with as many pleasures as those of the past. Scouts, let's give one
A "PROFESSIONAL" POEM.
'Twas the night before professionals and there in her room
Sat a girl reading swiftly, by the light of the moon. Her hair was disheveled, her face pale and white
And she looked as if driven by fury that night.
The clock was just striking, and ; But, of course, he helped .- Life.
three times it struck,
When she tugged at her hair as tho she were stuck
On a problem that never had been solved before ---
When suddenly-unseen, a hand opened the door!
The girl jumped and screamed and she trembled with fear
As these words of her mother smote thus on her ear:
"My daughter, you must stop, you'll die if you don't."
"Oh mother," she answered, "I can't and I won't,
This book I must finish ere closeth my eyes."
And with this she gave quite a ser- ies of sighs.
"What book are you reading that keeps you so late,
Your health you are ruining, you're in a sad state?"
"O, dear, I must finish," the daughter replies,
"This book so entrancing is called 'Sailors' Wives.' "

TWO EXCELLENT ASSEMBLY TALKS.
A Glorious Profession.
"Teaching is next to life at its fount"-a very little sentence, but when you heard that sentence spoken by Mr. Smith, principal of Baltimore City College, you realized its full significance.
Teaching is next to life at its fount because we atways have the hope- ful, spontaenous Youth with us, and we always have the hope, if not the conviction, that we are leading those young people to higher spiritual ideals, better executive functioning, and that we are helping them to tive a happy life for a consistent reason.
The life of teachers will be suclı as they make it, and, though they can never make it lucrative enough to be computed iu millions, they can, after all, compare the possession of a million to a life consecrated to guiding others, and find the balance heavy in their favor.
In this mercenary age we ask, "What price" for everything we come in contact with. It is a trite phrase with us, and alas! we also ask "What price teaching."
The wealth of teaching is a minus Quantity. Its eminence and position are negligihle, and we sacrifice com- fort for toil, worry and vexation be- cause we as teachers will be men and women doing a yeoman's work, hut when you say "What price teach- ing" I answer-"at the price of la- bor, of toil, at the sweat of my brow, by depressions, by crushed ideals and by sacrifice. I dedicate myself to the vital life and innate spirituality of a glorious profession -- the Teaching Profession."
Such was the message of Mr. Smith.
"Learn To Choose By Choosing."
"Giving decisions is the hardest work in the world. Indecision causes more human misery than it can cure." Mr. DeHuff, Principal of Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, after speaking these words, gave us such a message of hope and loyalty that I am anxious to pass it on to those, who, perchance, did not hear it.
In the history of the past the ef- fect of a choice made a decision given or withheld has meant much. Egypt, typifying all Oriental civiliz- ations, was absointe, allowing her people no choice, with the result of retarded growth. Greece was less absolute; her civilization advanced, grew and spread to all the ancient world. Rome too, was partially in- clined to allow her people a choice and she became a combination of independence and imperialistic strength. The Middle Ages admit-
ted of no choice-today we refer to them as "the Dark Ages." After the Crusades we have the wonderful choice of Columbus, which affected the whole world.
From the educational standpoint the importance of choice is out- standing and inevitable. The poli- ticians must choose how much, or rather how little, they can give to the schools. The principal must choose the kind of a school he wants. The pupils' choice must be one of at- titude, and the tragedy of the choice of some teachers is that they do not choose to leave the profession.
As a plea, and as a warning to make your choice easier "take the subject to the brain" and ponder it easierwell Each choice will become easier and finally, instead of "caus- ing misery" by indecision, we will "learn to choose by choosing" just as thoroughly as we learn to play by playing.

COMMENCEMENT.
June roses-and the pleasing sound Of voices, here, then gone,
A bright face; the fragrance of a flower;
A tear, quick dried, lest it mar Youth's hright Commencement hour That never more shall dawn.
June roses-and the pulsing beat Of many a happy heart;
A snowy dress-a melody in the air; The joy of Youth that knows no care, The joy of Commencement Day is sweet,
Yet sad are we to part. CARLOTTA SILVER, Sr. 13.

The bride (at the telephone)-Oh, John. do come home. I've mixed the plugs in some way. The radio is all covered with frost and the electric ice-box is singing, "Way Out West in Kansas." -- Life.
