PRESENTING NEWS AND VIEWS or INTEREST T0 TEACHERS. AND ALL OTHERS saaxmc IMPROVEMENT IN EDUCATION '

The Educational Horizon keeps the public inrfonned of the work me P. E. l. T. F. is doing.

We shall be grateful to all con- tributors. curremndents and all nthers who may help us in our ,.r;,,r-is. We shall endeavour to provide a reasonable amount of professional material which shall cl-cal with many of the problems r:.r.iig our teaching body.

Let us support our organiza- i.()::. Remember. it is our Federa- :.o:i not the Federation. Only as you inform us of your objections ilnd ideas can the organization and you benefit from them. You

aim: have criticism: to make, you

must have suggestions to offer.

Hoping you may all have a successful and prosperous school year and may you always re- membe that the school is dem- ocracy's greatest gift to civil- lzation.

School should be thought of as a life to be lived where there is action. co-operation, and oppor- tun-ity to develop desirable at- titudes. habits and ideals.

Going to school can be a glor- ious ad'ven-ture. There is the opportunity to gain much use- ful knowledge. to make many new friends and to learn how to live.

SUCCESS

"ll 1 could get a message over in the youth of this country it ould be that success in life does not depend on genius. Any young man of ordinary intelligence, who .5 morally sound. above board in his dealings and not afraid of V.('l,'k, should succeed in spite of ..n:t.-icles and handicaps, if he 1!.-iys the game fairly and squarely riul keeps evcrlastingly at it. The

possibilities before one are meas- ured by the determination which isin one. J.O.P.

Metonymy. The substitution of one noun for another closely as- sociated with it, usually a part for the whole, or a single attribute for the noun, as "the pan is mightier than the sword", "he drank the cup."

KING HENRY V

Before beginning the study of "his play, the student should read the story of Henry V's reign in a Wllable history. A thorough know- wdge of the facts will add inter- -.u and appreciation to the study .i: this play. Shakespeare consult- N1 the historian I-lollnshed for his historical facts, He follows Holin- slied closely.

This is one of Shakespeare's most important historical plays.

The whole play is designed to show the development of the eth- ii-al character of the king. There is no plot. It is essentially a play of action. The hero himself is I man of action. The course of action ix rather plain and smooth, its elevating character lies in the greatness of the facts. in the sub- iects more than in the form.

Again Shakespeare has allowed nn petty plots to interfere with the treat subject of his drama. Hence as find the play singularly devoid .4 women. The introduction of the vharacter of Princess Katherine serves merely to display I-It-nry's honest manly. plain and downright fashion of wooing. the homely

IN THIS PLAY

in this play the chorus:

(l) Apologizes for imperfections of apparatus and scenery or for deficiency of numbers.

(2) Gives accounts of connecting events.

(3) Describes changes of,scenes nnd carries the imagination of the audience over intervals of time.

('4) Describes actions unsuitable for dramatic treatment.

(5) Makes general or descriptive iemarks upon persons. scenes or events.

"Muse": The Muses were god- -sses who preside over music and poetry. Authors when about to en- irr upon some great work. usually v-nmmenced by evoking the Muse in aid and inspire: "Muse of Fire”

an aspiring. inspiriting muse.

"That would ascend the bright- rat heaven of invention." That would raise her imagination to the inltiest heights and put forth the li.:hest powers of invention.

”swelling scene": Increasing in iizicrcst and splendour.

"Port of Mars": Especially in- dzcates a stately bearing; this am- "ifies the epithet "warlike" in lliir 5.

"washed in like hounds. should luinirie, sword and fire crouch for miployment": King Henry is rep- :cscnted as a huntsman. controll- in: the three hounds "famine". '.:i(ord". and "fire" on a leash. The dogs crouch at his feet eager to :-mi-t forward but waiting their master's pleasure before dashing n it on their prey.

'Gentlos": A term of courtesy llSFd in addressing an audience.

i. What do the actors do in the w-nloguo to Act I? Apologize for i tempting to portray the deeds of .l-snry V on the stage and explain ii us that it is much too small for 'i's purpose. Then they ask us to (-0 our imaginations to fill in the

(fl). what takes place between -lcts II and Ill? King Henry V llllds an ambassador to the French

courtship of I. soldier and a man of action.

The Prologue is a short piece of verse recited before a dramatic performance beginning or between the acts of a drama. with the ob- Ject of explaining the action of the play or of narrating the events which are supposed to have taken place between the acts.

The word "chorus" properly sig- nlfles a dance. Among the ancient Greeks, it denoted as number of persons who advanced and sang choral odes at the festival of Dion- uses. From it arose the ancient Greek lyric drama. The chorus in Henry V, however. bears little re- semblance to that of the ancient Greeks. i

It consists of a single person who in Shakespeare's time used to ad- vance at the third sounding of a flourish of trumpets. to announce that the play or act was about to begin. He was always attired in black and wore upon hts face an expression of -humility, signifying the entire submission of the man- agers and actors to the public will

Cockpit here means the stage. Vasty means broad. Or may we crhm within this wooden theatre shaped like an 0 all the helmets which were so numerous that they frightened the very air at Agin- court. The French army at Agin- court were very numerous. ,

(bl. Once more to English dead, As the siege of l-larfleur progressed breaches were made in the wall at various times. As each breach was made it had to be stormed. That is. the English troops had to attempt to enter the-city through it. The speech given here was made

just before the storming of the '

final breach. Henry V asks his men to storm the breach and either gain entrance to the town or die in the attempt. (Fill the wall up with our English dead).

(cl Bo copy now to men of gross-

er blood.

And teach them how to war.

Be an example now to men of poorer blood and show them how to fight.

(5). What advice did Henry V give regarding a man's actions in peace and war?

In peace t2iere's nothing so be- comes a man as modest stillness and humility. but when the blast of war blows in your ears. then im- itate the action of the tiger.

THE PANCREAS SPLEEN AND DUODENUM

These organs are largely con- cerned with the digestion of food nnd the chemistry of the body. The pancreas is a gland of inter- nal secretion which provides the blood with R substance called in- sizlin. Insulin aids in the digestion of sugars. The pancreas has a tube which passes into the duodenum and sends the chemical substance that digests proteins. The pancreas is 10 inches long and weighs 31'.- oiinces. At one end is a red organ called the spleen which lies in the abdomen on the left side under the diapliragin. The spleen is coli- ccrncd with maintaining the vol-

LORD DURliAM'S REPORT

Lord Durham in his famous re- lc

port advised the following remed- ies for evils existing in Upper and Lower Canada.

(3) The building of an inter- colonial railway to bind together all parts of British North Amer-

a. (4). The need of responsible gov- ernment in which the executive body or cabinet would hold powso only so long as it retained the sup- glort of a majority in the anem-

y.
