l‘nlon School Scholars.
Look directly overhead at 7 o‘clock
and notice how four stars of the second
magnitude form an almost perfect square
a little larger than Orion. This is Peg~
sans. the winged horse. “who plays a
part in some of the Grecian myths.
In me with the westernmost stars of
this square and very low on the southern
horiaon is a star of the first magnitude.
the Southern Fish. That white hand
which cronies the heavens overhead and
made up of myriad stars is the Milk
Way. ' high in the sky is Dene
which mar s the place of the Swan in
the Nilky Way. Farther west and a
little north is another first magnitude
star. Vega of the Vulture; directly south
from V is Altair of the Eagle. whic
forms with Vega and Deneb nearly
rightangled triangle. Nearly all t 0
stars we see. except the planets. halve
maintained for many thousand years. or
since man first began’ observations. near-
the same relative itions. They are
erefore called iix stars. ~
I deeired you to observe the Big Dip~
‘ par and determine what star it revolved
around. It does not revolve at all. btit
the earth in its rev Iulion gives it that
appearance. it is 0 er the second star
in the handle of the Dipper that the star
with which I wish you to test your eye
si ht is to be found. it is sometimes
ca led the Cavalier. It will only be on
very clear nights you cart see it at all.
for the Dipper is very low now. I‘know
of nothing about which there is so much
dispute as the Little Dipper. Some
think it is what you know as the l‘lcia~
dcs. some mistake the square of Pegasus
with the handle in a curve from the
northeastern star toward the northeast.
But this curve marks the place of An-
dromeda. an unfortunate princess who
was chained to a rock in order to allay
the ravages of a ferocious sea monster.
Some have mistaken the letter M for the
Dipper. You can find the letter M by a
line from l‘egasus to the Nbrtli Star.
midway between the two. But this is
really Cassiopeia. whose vanity got An-
dromeda into such a terrible scrape. In
fact that sea monster would have long
since have devoured Andromeda had
not Perseus flown to her rescue on the
winged horse Pegasus. carrying in his
hand the head of the Medusa. This was
so horrid that it changed the beholder
to stone. Perseus is directly cast from
the letter M or Cassiopeia: and Medusa‘s
head. in which every hair was a scr ient
between him. and Andromeda a tilt e to
the east is made up of small stars. But
the Little Dipper is really next the north
star. The' North star is at the end of
the handle. and when the Bigsdipper is
below the North star the Little Dipper is
west of it. Four of the stars are of the
fifth magnitude. so it is very indistinct.
It is with such silly yarns of winged
horses. Medusa‘s heads. chained loveli-
nem and heroic dariing that the Latin
poets captivated the earlier world. and
thev repeat their triumph with every
ing of the Tanglcwood Tales in
childhood. “'hen the genius of llaw-
theme beats the gold of those old tales
into fanciful shape we derive an ex ui~
site leasure. in childhood. liut w is!
shal we say when such pabuluin is given
to those vears of youth when one must
pre re for life. Is that putting awav
chi. isli things. But perhaps Virgil.
who will furnish the minds of those
stud ing Latin with myths and stories
of t a fallen divinitics of the ancient
world. will furnish them with sonic glow-
ing images and episodes which will fire
their hearts with patriotic ardor or iii-
cite them to noble. virtuous lives. lie
will instead give them images and PI‘I‘,
sodes that shall make their faces burn
and their tongues falter when tlicv read.
Is it shameless to mention this? It is a
thousand times more sliamclass to allow
a class of youth to read it. and not iucrc~
ly to read it but study every word of
every shameless passage.
Thedny for Latin is out. Practical
men declare against it. Practical teach-
ers declare it has no educative influence.
btit rather dissipates the attention or
fixes it on unimportant details. It is an
article of luxury and not at all of use.
and if my words deter one from study

"t'iiuc 7'1: i.si-;. -
j‘A .iisen‘s" Defense of Latin.
, fi'fiur correspondent “l‘ornmon Sense"
expresses great contempt for the study
of Latin. Not only is it of no use.
but it is the cause of most of the faults
in English composition usually thought
to arise f roui ignorance or some
kindred source. The commentaries
of Caesar yield “onlv fortuitous col-
locations of words." am ancient litera-
ture. history and tradition are brushed
aside with contempt. ls Tommon
Sense quite sure that he approaches
this subject in that state of “pleased
7 sentiency" becoming such a philosopher?
If the study of the Latin language has
such an effect on our own how happens
it that so large a proportion of the
writers of established reputation have
had some knowledge of Latin. and many
of the greatest of them have been ac-
co'mplished Latin scholars. Let hie call
attention to a few cases of the kind:
Lord Bacon was a master of strong
Saxon-English fully equal in directness
and point to that used by (Summon
Sense himself. yet most of his works
were first written in Latin. This great
Writer and thinker in his Wisdom of the‘
Ancients also finds more in the Grecian
and Roman myths than Common Sense
8 able to find. Milton wrote Latin
poetry. but his ability to do this did not
quite spoil the quality of his English
verse. Addison was an accom ilished
Iatin scholar. notwithstanding w lch he
has written essavs that have long served
as examples of the purest English. They
havy been commended to us by genera:
tions of authors and scholars. and even
' Dr. Franklin took them as
models for his own composition. Our
old version of the Bible. that “well of
English undefiled.” was the work of the
scholarsofl-In land. men versed
Greek and Latin. ow does Com-
Sense reconcile the above facts with

of an eminent English istoriari.
Common Sense this work yields
“only fortuitous collocations of words.“
Me's opinion is that “no military
not, he is placed in the tion of one
who for some lesson best sown to him-
self would work an injury to our public
schools and those who are quietly doing
faithful and efficient service in their
management and instruction. if he has
the interests of the school at heart his
communications. teeming with absurd
misstatements and his avowed purpose
in publishing those remarkable articles
on astronomy consign him to that class
of persons familiarl known as “cranks.“
In either case it wil be long before he
has a very controlling influence in the
educational affairs of the city.
Cirrus.
Latin Defended.
For the reason that Common Sense
does not value Latin as a study. is evi-'
deuce that he has but little." any.knowl-
edge of it. He reminds me of a laborer
who once worked for us, who said. “he
did not see what use an eddication was
any way.“ It is said that Henry \Vard
Beecher has the greatest command of
words of anv person living. and much of
the force of is language consists in its
simplicity. that a child can undemtand.
uwhose meaning is not clouded b big
words.“ and he is one of the learn men
of this age. It would be very strange if
he were not a Latin scholar. England‘s
Chief Justice has made a visit to this
countrv. and while at Yale College. in
his address to the students. tried to im-
press upon them the importance and ne-
cessity of the ciassicsas a study. If it
is of so little importance as Common
Sense states why is it that a certain
number ”of books of Virgil and of the
llliad are required before entering col-
lege. A man once said of his son that
he made him a farmer because it was
the foundation of living. so Latin may
almost herald to be the foundation of
our language. asthe Romans occupied the
land from. which sprang our mother
tongue long before the Saxon invasion.
A reason why it should not be underrated
as a study is that it is an excellent dis-
cipline for the mind. for generally they
w 0 study it think quickly. and the clan~
sics as astudy give ones choice of words
and culture that the mere English does
not give. It mav be leasant “to learn
the Earth at will an soar to; Heaven.
and read the glorious visions of the
skies." but while on earth we should like
to know from whence came. and who
were the Anglos. If he would pause in
his instructions of the heavenly bodies.
which can be easily learned from Smith‘s
school astronomy. and inform one of the
ignorant ones from whence came the
term Anglo 3 Is it synonyinus with the
Angles. a tribe occupying so much tcrri~
tory of liritain that it gives its name
Anglcland or England. A READER.
A “'oril for "Common Sense.“
Editors SENT!.\'EI.:—I have been much
interested in tlic‘ articles in your paper
by Common Sense. and ho )e that the
author will not be deterrcd y the guer~
riila warfare kept tip upon him by his
anonymous assailants. It is a fact that
the lower grades of our public school are
starved in order to feed the high school
department. We hear nothing of the
other grades. but much about the high
school. which is really of. least impor-
tance. as but a very small per centage of
iupils cvor reach it. And we \voiild
ear very little about the high school
were it not for its members. who consti<
tute a mutual admiration society. 'l‘heir
training there seems to ' supply them
principally with conceit. ' “‘ith their
smattering of Latin and Greek they ini-
agine they have become educated. while
in reality they have not mastered the
rudiments of a practical education. The
tendency of this branch of our school is
to establish an educational aristocracy.
those having attended it forgetting that
they owe all they may have attained to
the liberality of the general public. But
I must stop or they will come down
upon me in a bodv as they have t‘ouimon
Sense. It wont do for a citizen to qucs~
tion anything about the high school.
That is sacred in the eyes of the members
and graduates: but if they don‘t meet
anv issues 1 have raised any more effect—
ually than they have t‘omnion Sense‘s. l
will be able to endure it. Parent and
Pupil and Senior haveto learn that truth
is truth. and that if they can‘t. stand it
the fault is with them. Attempts to
draw oil the fire by blank cartridges
from all directions. won‘t work. Coni—
mon Sense is right. so weisay tb him. go
ahead. » x.
The Bird ltoy on “Collusion Sense.“
I’a was gone away somewhere. so I
couldn‘t ask him where north was. lie
took his compass along too. What was
I to do! Me and my chum knew pa had
lots of maps with north and south mark»
ed on them. “'c found one different
from the rest. At first we thought it to
be a piece of waste paper pa had put
there accidcntly. but we soon discovered
it to be a map of city lots made by ‘L‘om-
nion Sense. who ought to know where
north is. The cardinal points \vcre
marked on a supposed fence line. south
95 degrees east. \thrc is north in this
case? This map is a curiosity. and I
guess pa is saving it to put in his cabinet.
“'0. found by all of pa‘s maps that north
was exactly opposite from south. without
exception. Just as we had gained this
important knowledge. ma came into the
library and said she was glad I was of
an enquiring mind. and that she hoped
I would learn all 1 could. She said 1 al-
ways hsd a taste for curiosities. because
I am a chip of the old block. so I got out
pa‘s minerals. field books and other
things. 1 should think pa would
keep some of his curiosities out of sight
it he wants his sons educated. I heard
him say he had a field book composed by
‘Coinmon Sense.‘ where the sewers Were
figured to be laid five feet above ground
instead of four feet below. I think this
book must be a great curiosity-and as
my chum wanted educating as well as
me I wished to show it to him. Illa said
I never was selfish. so I wanted to com-
municate my knowledge.
Ma lent my book on astronomynto
‘Common Sense‘ or I could tell all a ut
the great bear and her little cubs just as
well as he could. He said it is a lazy
way to have others find out things for
us. so I did what I could towards get-
‘ting a little knowledge this time.
