,Anger. and mielancholy darken the
brow of her good citizens, who rise
en miasse to safe-guard her, sacred
traditions. Tecausei is not far to
seeks, and upon that generally safe
and sound institution, the Associated
Press is laid the blame for the follow-
ing dispatch:
"London, AMay 1,--Tlie ,village
smithy which is reputed to have
inspired Longfellowi's familiar verses
is doomed' to disappear. It, stands
in St. Mary Cray, a Kentish vi[e
flage, and became known to the
'American poet when he visited the
poetess, Eliza Cook.
The appearance of the smithy at
present hardly. meets the descrip-
tion in the poem. The "spreading
chestnut tree" vanished long ago,
being felled because It darkened
the neighboring houses, and the
building now is to go for an equally
utilitarian reason; its site is wanted
in furtherance of a street-widening
plan."
To all this Camibridge answers
"tommyrot" and mutters "British pro-
paganda." As one Boston newspaper
1writes, "our hands are ever read'
for the grasp across the sea. NV
yield to none in the desire for Eng-
lish-speaking unity, and harmony be.
tween the two great Anglo-Saxon na.
tions. But we do not propose to give
tip the "village smithy" and it,
4'spreading chestnut tree" to old Eng
land, anyf more than we are yNillin:
to relinquish Bunker. Hill, or thy
bridge at Cconcord."
Most certainly our sympathy is wit]
Cambridge. Perhaps the poet mia
have visited the Kentish village is
question, perhaps he did see a village
smithy and a spreading chestnut tre,
in the quaint old spot he converse(
with. Eliza Cook, yet we do not be
lieve that he found there the inspir
ation for his famous verses. Th,
'poem itself is redolent of New Eng
landl.

one-sided majority of 596 for the

associations sponsored: by the Iarge
universities. Press conventions hlde
annually, at the home of each uni-.

that state.
A brief survey of the country shows
such an organization at almost every1
large university,' among them Michi-
gan, Ilinois,3 Wisconsin, Columbia,'
Leland Stanford and countless others.
Colorado and Northwestern are recent
additions to the field. Almost every
high school publication in the coun-
try i's a member of some such or-
ganization.
Bu4t the ch~ief work done by these
associations is not the imnprovemntnt
