We found out that Athens has five
fire trucks and 24 firemen. We

by not playing with matches ‘or

building a fire out of doors.

when Tom Sawyer and some

Every chapter brought more ex

nesday, showing that one term has
passed, since we entered Childs
Street school in September. The
majority of marks was good, but
there were some disappointments.
Graphs have proven very inter
esting to the pupils of the algebra
clagses. The expenses of the ecity
and national government have
been clogely studied and have
proved an interesting study. Bar
graphs only, have been studied as
yet.
The study of the Latin tongue
has proven very interesting to
most of us. However, there’ are
many oh's and sh’'s whenever. a
new phase of Latin is taken up.
Posters are being made of the

in words and the study is most
educational.

Dr Dixon Talks to Students
“The same divine personality
that controls the stars, controls
us,” said Dr. E. H. Dixon in his
address to the student body in Mell
Auditorium Friday .
“Men have been burned at the
stake for saying some of the
things I am going to say,’ Dr.
Dixon informed the audience.
“But these things prove that we
are making definite progress in
understanding the natural laws
that control the heavenly bodies
of which 1 sgpeak.”
He gave two theories on the
center of the universe one of
which is now obsolete. They were
the Geocentric or Ptolemaic theo
ry that the earth is the center of
the universe which has been dis
proven, and the Sun-center theory
that the sun is the center of the
universe.
The types of motion o fthe earth
were brought out. Rotation of the
€urn on jts axis is what gives
the sun its apparent motion. Al
the rate of eighteen and one half
miles per se¢cond, the earth trav
eles around the sun once a year.
The sun has a speed of twelve
mnes per second.
Dr. Dixon told the students that
there is no absolute up or down.
“When we say down we mean to
ward the center of the earth.”
“What holds us on the earth?” he
asked, ‘“The attraction the eaith
has for us is explained by New
ton’s law of gravitation.”
The earth is falling toward the
sun all of the time, but it has
never reached the sun, he informed
the audienc. That moon is also
fulling toward the earth, but it
tas never reached it.
Next he asserted that the
planet closest to us is the moon
which is 240,000 miles away. In
an alrplane going 400 miles per
hour, it would take us twenty
five days to reach the moon. Thig
body {8 a cold, dead sphere in
space, which has no atmosphere.
ttiF moone shines by a reflected
light from the sun. We have seen
more than one half of the moon.
It would take twenty six and o
half years to go to the sun in an
airplane at four hundred miles
per hour. All energy came orig
inally from the sun, which has a
temperature of 6000 centergrade.
t‘'me p‘on hi tu
The speaker declared that the
earth is the only planet that has
one satellite, the moon. Sowne
think that Mars is inhabited be
cause their day is almost like ours.
it has twenty-four hours. Saturn
Has a system of rings and nine
moons.
He spcke of several other plan
ets, and said that more than 1000
comets have been discovered. Con
cluding his remarks, he reminded
his listeners of the one divine be
ing that governs the stars and us.
The avdience showed their appre
ciation with much applavse.

ways in which the tongue may

A white mist was seen falling

The pupils’ minds went away
from lessons evermore,
And each whispered to his
meighbor, “It's wnowing.”
“Look! The snow!”
The downy snow continued on un

It filled the streets, the yards,

The dark sky seemed the blacker

The Internationai Uniform Sun

By WM. E. GILROY, D. D.
Editor of Advance.
The unconventionality of Jesus
was found in the manner and
places in which His most distinc
tive teachings were given, The
mission that He had come into
the world to fulfili did not re
quire the authority of some great
ecclesiactical organization or the
prestige of a . pupit .in a .great
catnedral.or temple. The only au
thority that He sought was the
truth ¢f what He had to declare.
It was His distinction that He
brought the highest religion down
to the level of the average man.
He visited the temple and the
synogog, but He was as much at
home speakirz of the things of
religion in the street, on the
mountain, in the desert, in the
fields, and beside the still or trou
bled waters.
Here, where He had been
preaching to a gathering by the
Lake of Gennesaret, which we are
wont to call the Sea of Galilee,
the crowd pressed so much upon
Him that He ingeniously con
ceived the idea of preaching to
them. from a boat thrust out a
little .way from the shore.
The boat which He had made
His temporary pulpit belonged to
Simon Peter, and after Jesus was
through speaking to the multi
tude He suggested to Peter that
he should launch out into the deep
and let down his. nets.
Peter was not very responsive
He reminded Jesus that he and
his partner had toiled all night and
that they had.takea nothing. .. ..
Nevertheless, he agreed to pus
out his nets. The results was the
miraculous draft of fishs, such a
catch that the nets were hardly
able to hold it; and Peter and his
partner, probably his brother An
drew, beckoned to partners in an
other boat that they should come
and help them.
The event was to influence thc
whole future course of Peter's
life. He sensed the character and
the wonder-working power of the
One who had preached from his
boat, and at the same time he felt
the depth of his own unworthi-
