Greenwich Journalistic Changes. 



"The Greenwich News" and "The 

 Greenwich Graphic" have ceased to exist. 

 Their place is to be rilled by one semi- 

 weekly newspaper to be known as the 

 'Greenwich News and Graphic' This will 

 be published at the present office of "The 

 Greenwich News" by the newly incorp- 

 orated Greenwich Publishing Company 

 The company is capitalized at forty 

 thousands dollars. Nelson B. Barton, the 

 former editor of "The Greenwich 

 Graphic" will be editor and business 

 manager of the new publication. We 

 cordially welcome him, and extend to 

 him our congratulations upon his en- 

 trance within this larger and more active 

 journalistic field. He will be assisted by 

 his son who is an efficient printer. He 

 will be strongly supported by the new- 

 company comprising many of the most 

 influential people of Greenwich. 



Mr. Fred W. Lyon, who has been for 

 nine years the editor and proprietor of 

 "The Greenwich News," has bought 

 "The Citizen," a weekly newspaper in 

 Mil ford. In connection with that paper 

 he will superintend a job printing office. 

 Mr. Lyon is an energetic and genial man 

 who, by his ability, untiring activity and 

 pleasing address, has attained for him- 

 self a position of prominence and influ- 

 ence. He has always taken an active in- 

 terest in ArcAdiA, and has been liberal 

 in his treatment of ours and us. From 

 the very first he recognized ArcAdiA 

 as one of the important Institutions of 

 Greenwich, and perhaps more than any 

 other journalist, he has been optimistic 

 in regard to its future growth into a 

 great nature university. Indeed, he was 

 the first local journalist to announce 

 ArcAdiA's ambitions in that direction. 

 He has been thoroughly interested in 

 everything that pertains to the welfare 

 of Greenwich, and is himself an ardent 

 lover of outdoor life, especially in its re- 

 lation to education. For these and for 

 personal reasons, it is with actual pain 

 that the editor of this magazine learns 



that Mr. Lyon is to leave our town. He 

 will make many friends in Mil ford, and 

 will extend the usefulness and the in- 

 fluence of "The Citizen." He is an 

 editor and publisher of more than ordi- 

 nary ability. He is the right type of man 

 to "make good" in any position in which 

 he may be placed. 



She Set a Good Standard. 



The late Mrs. Morris K. Jessup gave 

 five million dollars to The American 

 Museum of Natural History, New 

 York City. The Journal of that insti- 

 tution says : 



"This endowment has been wel- 

 comed by our own Museum and by all 

 other institutions of the country be- 

 cause of the example and the standard 

 set to public-spirited citizens in other 

 municipalities." 



Redeem the Human Mind from Error. 



Were half the power that fills the 



world with terror. 

 Were half the wealth, bestowed on 



camps and courts, 

 Given to redeem the Human mind 



from error, 

 There were no need of arsenals and 



forts. 



The warrior's name would be a name 



abhorred, 

 And every nation, that should lift 



again, 

 Its hand against its neighbor, on its 

 forehead 

 Would wear for evermore the curse 

 of Cain. 



— Longfellow. 



No one can be a successful teacher 

 of nature study without a genuine en- 

 thusiasm for the subject as no one 

 without a passion for the works of 

 great authors can accomplish the best 

 results in the teaching of literature. — 

 Hough.
