DEDICATION OF MEMORIAT, 
LIBRARY 
_Mr Hermon Scuoor, Norrer:tiy, 
ie 
Witt DepicatéE BuILDING GIVEN 
By Mrs. A. F. ScHAUFFLER 
Founder’s Day, February fifth, at 
Mount Hermon Boys’ School which 
Dwight L. Moody founded at North- 
field thirty years ago, will be made no- 
table this year on account of the dedi- 
cation of the beautiful new Schauffler 
Memorial Library, the gift of Mrs. 
A. F. Schauffler of New York city, in 
memory of Rev. William G. Schauf- 
fler, D. D., long connected with edu- 
cational and missionary work in Tur- 
key. The library is a one-story brick 
building, with Vermont marble trim- 
mings, and Colonial in style. It is 
semi-fireproof, and its details are all 
according to the best modern library 
practices, with steel book stacks in the 
stack rooms, inlaid cork floors for the 
sake of quiet, and furnished with sub- 
stantial oak reading tables, chairs, etc. 
Many people are unaware of the 
tremendous strides which Mount Her- 
mon has made in the past few years 
in the way of material equipment. As 
a matter of fact, there has not been a 
five-year period in the history of the 
school in which new buildings have 
not been erected, but the greatest ad- 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
vance has been within the past five 
years. Holbrook hall, the administra- 
tion building erected in 1908; West 
hall, largely the gift of Mrs. William 
E. Dodge of New York city, where 
now six hundred students and teach- 
ers have their meals, and there is 
room for two hundred more, first oc- 
cupied February fifth, 1909; James 
Memorial Gymnasium, the gift of Mrs. 
D. Willis James of New York, equip- 
ped with modern apparatus, running 
track, and swimming pool, dedicated 
June fourth, 1910; Crossley hall, a 
new building to replace the original 
destroyed by fire, first occupied Sep- 
tember first, 1911, accommodating 320 
students and fireproof and modern in 
its appointments; Ford Cottage, the 
residence of the principal, the gift of 
the former students of the school, first 
occupied April first, 1912. Besides 
these, a power plant, the gift of Ar- 
thur Curtis James of New York, 
which supplies heat and light to all the 
school buildings, was installed in 1910. 
With these new buildings in addition 
to the thirty other school buildings, 
and with her excellent laboratories, 
the school is today, in the matter of 
equipment, the peer of any secondary 
schoo! in the country, and is excelled 
only by the largest colleges and uni- 
versities. Moreover, if the record her 
graduates are now making in nearly a 
23 
hundred colleges and other higher in- 
stitutions of learning is a criterion, 
Mount Hermon’s scholarship stand- 
ards are keeping pace with her mater- 
ial improvements. 
Epna Goopricu At KEITH’s 
Miss Edna Goodrich, the celebrated 
legitimate star, and one of the hand- 
somest women on the American stage, 
will make her debut as a vaudeville 
headliner at B. F. Keith’s Theatre 
next week. For her tour over the B. 
F. Keith circuit Miss Goodrich has 
elected to appear in a one-act playlet 
written especially for her by Claude 
Gillingwater, and entitled “The 
Awakening of Minerva.’ The story 
of the piece is that of a young artiste 
who has succeeded in solving the sec- 
ret of making marble resemble human 
flesh. He makes a statue of Minerva, 
and dreams it come to life. The sub- 
sequent adventures of the statue form 
the groundwork for a story of engag- 
ing interest, with a touch of comedy. 
Miss Goodrich appears in the role of 
Minerva, the Greek beauty who comes 
to life, and dons some stunning Par- 
isian gowns, to the dismay of all the 
men she meets, who immediately fall 
in love with her. Miss Goodrich is 
surrounded by a splendid company of 
excellent players. Her engagement is 
for one week only.
