Smart College Youths.

The college boys have been having a little fun with a new instructor, who tried to discipline them by hurting 1 their pride. Their composition were not of the high literary merit that he desired, so one day a package of finished productions was handed them for careful examination and upon which to model their future efforts. The compositions w.ere by students in a western college. When they were returned they bore annotations, as for instance: “Oh, rats.” “Chestnuts.) Professor,” etc. Teaching by object lessons has been discarded in this department—New Haven Palladium.
