Lamentation,
Ended is the long vacation.
Joyous time of recreation.
Now, without much jubilation,
Children turn to education.
While their teachers through the nation
Waste no time in gratulation.
Some regard with consternation
The return to regulation.
Others feel exasperation,
Thus recalled fromidissipation,
There is frequent lamentation,
School to many seems vexation.
Tribulation, desolation;
▲nd acquiring information
Isn't fun, like osculation.
So, without much exultation.
They resumed their occupation.
In a word, the situation
Rather damps exhilaration.

Gossip of Shorter College.
Shorter is jubilant!
Well she may be for the opening this
past week scores a larger attendance
than for any years previous.
Girb, girls, girls, some from Tenn.,
some from Florida, and Mississippi and
others tates; they have lighted up the
hallways and study rooms, and their
joyous laughter is full of hope and
insouciance.
The other morning a whole crowd of
little tots were on the noith terrace
kicking out their slippers on the pebbles
as they played a game suddenly one of
them screamed *'break-er loose!” Then
they all scampered away. This phrase
seemed to be the watch word of the
whole hill. Everything there is ‘ ‘break
er-loose, ” and work, and enthusiasm
rule the hour.
The teachers are looking so well and
happy and are ready for the fray.
Miss Dustman has much to say of the
New York Chautauqua, while there she
took lessons from Sherwood, the most
noted American pianist. He had a class
of over fifty some of whom had studied
iu Germany. The attendance at this
Chatauqua comprises as many people as
are numbered in the whole of Rome, the
the south giving a predominance of
representatives. Miss Dustman having
heard singers and concerts, and lectures
galore of the very best type is more than
ever prepared to teach the young Amer
ica to trip the light fantastic witn the
fingers o’er the ivory.
Mies Gibbs has been to Nashville and
Memphis and the mountains. Her mind
seems to be more on the lovely wood
land haunts of the country, and the
wide fields of mental pasture-lands than
anything else. A visit to her reading
room found her engrossed in books as
usual—though she did point with pride
to some pictures on the wall.

Mr. C. A. Tnompsou made a brief visit
to New York and Boston where he
listened to some fine music. He spent
most of the summer at Warm Springs,
and it can be proved that he was still
“in the swim” • even if he did tarry
among the pines of southwest Georgia.
Miss Celeste Ayer gives a charming
account of her trip to Europe. She d <velt
particularly on her delight in seeing
the wondrous picture galleries of the
old world, the Luxemburg and Louvre
in Paris and the Ufizzi and Pitt! gal
leries in Italy. She saw the finest works
of the old masters R tphael, Rubens,
Titian, Tintorretts, Fra Angelico and
others.
The “impressionist” school of art
seems to be the • ‘fad” over there said
Miss Ayer “while in America it does
not gain much favor.”
She said: “I have gained many useful
hints and new - ideas, which I cannot
exactly explain but which I am sure to
use in dealing with my pupils and their
work.’’
If space permitted many more things
could be told of Shorter and her inter
esting faculty.
