Howard By EDWIN MORLEY STAFFORD New Trier Freabiea Show Kenllwortb ()pens Cace Seaton With a Victory Hiah Vocabulary Standard Seven freshmen and 37 per cent of the seniors at New Trier high school have vocabularies equal to or greater than the average college freshman, according to the results of the Inglis Vocabulary test which recently was given to the members of the Senior and Freshman classes. Five students registered vocabularies as large as the average college graduate possesses. The Inglis test was given for the purpose of aiding instructors in bringing out the probable obstacles of the individual students. The test showed that 76 per cent of freshmen and 71 per cent of seniors measured up to or showed better results than the average for their classes. To show the standing of the fre sh men and seniors after a year's study, a similar test will be given in May.

No labour' d books of stern philosophy, He ldt. his mem' ry to perpetuate ; No mansions, grand, or acres, broad. had he; No flaming eloquence proclaimed him great. No titled name of empty dignity, This modest son, of princely action bore; But Brother, Friend, to man or child was he, Who, hearts half-masted, fain would ste him more. But, day by day, he built him. deed on deed, Of living 'parts, he fashioned by the way, A monument as great as human need, Enduring as the round of night and day, Within the hearts he summered as he went, With kindly council's word and smile of cheer, And counted gain, the cost of what he spent, Nor, hesitating. held his comforts dear. When duty called he answered "Here am I," To serve, nor sought of men a recompense Or praise; such men, indeed, can never die, Who build in service, true, their monuments.
