A foolliiK f I't'llowHliij) between Htu dent and nrofeHBor Ih an excellent thing; It encouniKeH the Htudent to do IiIh bent becaune or personal feelingH; it makeH the work of the professor much more pleasant than it could be were the relational ip utterly im per sonal It doeH away with an atmos phere of restraint, which is ho detri mental to the class work, and b both parties a better insight Into the character of the other. On the other hand, the cultivation ol such a feeling is dangerous when it is carried to an extreme or abused There are in every large body of stu dents certain ones who abuse their privileges, and In their growing in tiniacy with their professors come to. wittingly or unwittingly, impose upon their good nature Herein lies the danger. Although the idea of comradeship between student and professor is a laudable and beneficial one, its posses sor must bear in mind that there is a limit beyond which it becomes a vice, and that respect for superior age and abllit should at no time bo forgotten lives iilono in the room of little things, and we, too. in later life are apt to find ourselves shut In from the world, and living within ourselves We bear with little grace the small misfortunes that creep Into the tiny circle of our shel tered existence The story Is told of Kisa (iotnmi, the mother, wild with grief, who brought her dead child to the great teacher, Ruddha, and begged him to give it life again, and he, with great wisdom and compassion in his ejes. told her to bring but one mustard seed from a home wherein there had been no death. When she returned there was great peace on iter face and tears in her eyes for she said, "My search is ended and I know Every house replied, 'Nay we have lost a loved one.' . And sudden thought. "'Fill me of all their mournful hearts, And In the great grief I became but one, i A tiny mote amid immensities.' " The Titanic accident was not lior- riblo nor terrible; it was simply a truth Truths, though often hard to I face Imaginatively, in real life come j before us solemnly, with a peculiar justice and strength, and speak with peculiar man-like force, and power Wliat finer thing than to meet them frankly, unafraid'' What liner thing than to face the strong wind calmlv without a moment's hesitation, while'! tho full flow of life is Btill in the veins I and the surge of strong emotion in the heart; to be lifted, only for a brief moment, out of the meanness and the pettiness of a half-lived life and feel the wave-beat and surge of immensi ties. Our happiness is a little chain of moments small successes when our little hopes and plans and lows are fulfilled, and yet there must be a cer tain pleasure in tossing them all away with just a little human touch of bravado, while the band is plaingand tho end of life is capped with a quick heart-pounding thrill of enoblement On the Titanic were men whose hands were molding the affairs of nations, and whose hearts were aching with the loss of petty human hopes and the quick cutting of all thingB left undone, and yet, after the last lifeboat had cast off, the great ocean liner went down, quietly, the band playing that solemn and awful hymn that in Chris tlan lands has come to moan the puss Ing of Borne loed one Into eternity LITERACY DEPARTMENT CALENDAR. THE TITANIC. "O. T " Monday morning before the night mist had lifted from the sea. the Titanic went down What quiet handB in the tide and tho wind brought tho ice down before its time to meet and cut the thin thread of life she drew across tho Atlantic, and how that severed thread let fly a great circle of pitiful waving ends as if Home miBchievouB linger hnd been thrust into the delicate spider web of life! Yet we are accustomed to tragedies; a few lives more or lesB make little difference; tho web will mend again and wo will turn to the next sensa tional murder to have our finely strung emotions tickled with the Injustice of Things. What worth these things have is perhaps to keep us from be coming too pessimistic, too sensitive to our troubles Often, like children we think that our Binall Joy or sorrow is the one thing of moment in all the world.
