"You surely don't think of going," pleaded Mrs. Lane.
“O, yes mother,” put in Ned, “we’ve got to go to. The two best spellers from Hall Ridge are going to be there. They came over to Jim Bell’s before it began to storm. If Nell doesn’t go, they’ll be sure to spell us down. Get on your things. Nell. I’m not going to spell, but I promised to give out the words tonight.”
At the mention of the HallRidge boys, Nell had donned her cloak and cap, and no further objections being offered, brother and sister went across to the school house. Quite a crowd had gathered, of those who lived near enough to walk. For the night was too bad to take horses out.
As Nell entered one of a gay group near the door called to her.
"Say, Nell, you'll beat *s* many times.
I wish you'd spell till the Hall Ridge folks is down, an' then give the rest uv us a chance."
Nell, who was busily looking around to see who was present, answered smilingly, hardly noticing what she said.
"All right. But there's no danger of my spelling down the Hall Rage boys."
Before long, Ned arose with spelling book in hand and called the house to order. Joe Bunch, from Hall ridge, and Nell Lane, of Prairie district, took their places to "choose up" for the match. The first choice fell to Joe. He chose the only person present from his district. Then Nell chose; and so on, turn about, until all the young folks present were standing in two rows, one on either side of the house, their backs against the wall.
Although the audience was small, there was great interest manifested, on account of the presence of the boys from the neighboring district. Nell, looking across at her opponent, determined to do her best. At first the words were easy. Ned gave them out in quick succession, and for three or four times round no one went down on either side. But soon Ned turned the leaves to find a harder page. The next round, several words were missed, and at the end of half an hour Nell had but one companion. There were three on the opposite side, the Hall Ridge boys and a girl from Prairie school. They spelled for some fifteen minutes, two against three.
"Aerolite." pronounced Ned.
One of the Hall Ridge boys spelled got tangled in the vowels, and sat down Nell's companions missed the same word Joe Bunch spelled it correctly. Nell spelled the next word. She was standing against the wall, her head thrown back and her brown face flushed. The short, black hair which never would stay back had fallen round her face, as in the days of her Indian warfare. She had not looked at her opponent for some time, but she knew Joe Bunch was standing there, and she felt the eyes on the crowd upon her. Her own honor and that of the school was at stake. The next word came, hendiadya. Nell listened for her opponent's voice. A sound low and distinct fell upon her ear. She looked in surprise to see standing at Joe Bunch's side, a slender, face-faced girl, who had been standing near the door when one of the crowd had called out to Nell as she entered the school house. She recalled now, what she had not noticed then, how intently the girl's eyes had been bent upon her. At the sight, the meaning of those words flashed through Nell's mind. It tally took her breath away. She almost forgot to spell the word given out to her. What should she do, miss a word on purpose, or crush the hope she saw rising in the pale face opposite? She did not doubt that she could come off victorious if she chose. As long as Joe stood, however, she must do her best. For a few moments the words passed swiftly. The audience became thoroughly aware that there were three well-matched competitors for the honors. The pale faced gid had gained a share of the attention.
"Ameliorate."
Joe hesitated, missed the word and
took a seat. The audience moved with en air of relief. One or two commenced to cheer. But soon all was still again. Neil was spelling "e-o-s-e-n-e, cocene." The girl opposite spelled the word correctly, and Nell sat down. She had laid her first offering on the altar of self-sacrifice. X. Y. Z.
College Fraternities.
The JOURNAL gives the following condensation of a long communication addressed to it under the above title, not having space to publish the article in full. It is to be understood that this paper, in publishing communications, merely lends its columns to the writers in order to give them an opportunity of making known their opinions to their fellow students; it by no means follows that the opinions expressed meet its approval. The position of the JOURNAL will be stated only in its editorial columns.
For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, and nothing hid that shall be made known.—Matt. x. 26.
The tenor of Mrs Blackwelder's article on College Fraternities, which appeared in the University Review for March, 1893, is, that fraternities are common, popular, and therefore sure to continue. That article ascribes the origin of fraternities to the antagonism which of old existed between professors and students; for further information on this point, I refer to an article in the Century for September, 1888. From the article referred to, it appears that fraternities sprang from the Tory, un-American, anti-Puritan student element. The fact that fraternity rolls bear the names of many very prominent men neither bears upon the merits of such societies, nor renders their indefinite continuance probable. Nor does the holding of a large amount of real and personal property make their continuance certain, or justify their existence. Things continue to exist only because they are worthy to exist, and individuals and societies, wealthy or poor, pass away when they become useless or bad.
College fraternities, though they made slow progress at first, boast that their strength has rapidly increased of late years. This large growth is attended by corresponding danger, for it has called public attention to what had before passed without consideration; and public opinion is making its protest against fraternities as something fit to exist only as reminiscences of evil overcome.
Mrs. Blackwelter, in telling what she would see corrected in fraternities, shows what fraternities really are—a system that can be defended only on the brazen assumption that every consideration of right, every moral obligation, may be entirely waived and disregarded during student life. The “practical jokes” carried on, in several instances to the loss of life, she mildly characterizes as “nonsense!”
President A. D. White, of Council (who in taking up the cause of fraternities fell below the demands of his position and missed a great opportunity for advancing the welfare of his institution.) believes that every student should be a member of some chapter; but this would require a unanimity of colleges and of college men, such as could be secured by no other means than those employed in unsavory political manipulations.
