XXX.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO SCHOOL.June 23, 1897.Hand Work. — The children of Group I have finished the equipment of two doll's beds. The olderchildren have woven three lengths on the loom, whichwill be made into a curtain. Other work has been themaking of sleeves and aprons, holders, etc. Sometime has been taken for paper cutting in illustratingLittle Red Riding Hood and other stories. Thechildren have also painted a turtle from a specimenbrought in by one of the pupils. In the shop, besidesthe finishing up of the various articles on which theyhave been working, boxes have been made in Whichto store the tools, dishes, and other things used in theschool. Many of the children have made bags inwhich they will procure specimens of rock, etc., during their summer vacation. In connection with thiswork much time has been taken to discuss plans fortheir summer vacation. A very interesting part ofthe work this week has been two entertainments, oneon Friday to the parents and friends of the school, and one on Wednesday to which each child invitesone friend. The invitations to these have been writtenby the older pupils, and have made a very interestingexercise. Much originality has been shown in thewording. At the first party there was an exhibitionof gymnastic work and of singing. The childrenserved gingersnaps and lemonade of their own making.At the second the interest mainly centered in themaking of molasses and sugar candy.History and Social Life. — The study of grain hasbeen continued and in this connection the use of harvesting and other machines has been discussed. Themeaning of the seasons, the importance of rain, thefact that poor weather for one class may mean goodweather for others, have all been taken up. The littlechildren in connection with their French, have beenlearning the names of the days of the week and of themonths. Groups IV, V, and VI in their study ofGreek life, have discussed the Athenian state, theGreek theater, have compared the laws of Solon andDraco with those of the present. The work will conclude with some study of the time of Pericles.Science. — Expeditions have been made to theWooded Island, and also to a lot on the Midway. Inthese places they have found dragonflies, butterflies,grasshoppers, ripe strawberries, pennyroyal, growthson the stems of plants due to the bites of insects, andmany other interesting things. Much attention hasbeen given to the study of insects and their relation tothe plants. Group II has been especially interested inthe fly, comparing the rings on its body with those ofthe moth, butterfly and beetle. They have noted thatit has no thick wings to serve as ah outer cover. Theyhave discovered its " trunk." By feeding the flies theyhave seen the use of this proboscis, and have talkedover its use in extracting honey from flowers.In the autumn work will be taken up on the dissemination of seeds. In preparation for this a number ofspecimens have been secured ; especial interest hasbeen shown in those secured from some Cottonwoodtrees near at hand. On Friday morning the childrenwent over their records and experiments that hadbeen made in order to be ready to show these to theirparents in the afternoon. In this connection anumber of interesting points came up, as the comparative size of the bubbles in the dough and in thebaked muffin. This helped them to understand what" raising " really means. The relation between theirexperiments in capillarity and in evaporation wasmade much more evident. Some of the youngerchildren had failed to get the idea of the importanceto the duck of oiling its feathers. In order to explainthis, they dipped unoiled feathers in water to note theUNIVERSITY RECORD 125effect. In order to show that one method of approachwas not enough for proof, after experimenting withblue litmus paper they used some to plant seeds uponto determine the presence of acid in the root.Official Notices.Official copies of the University Record for theuse of students may be found in the corridors andhalls of the various buildings in the University quadrangles.

With the union of the two kingdoms inr07 the question ceased to have any political impor-,nce, but did not lose its scholastic interest. Socent and able a writer as Mr. Freeman maintains,his "Norman Conquest," that from 924-1328 A. D.18 Synopsis of a Thesis offered in Candidacy for the degreeof Ph.D. by Charles Truman Wyckoff. the kingdom of Scotland was in a state of legal andpermanent dependence on the English crown. Therewas, he says, a threefold relation. The English kingexercised a merely external supremacy over the entirekingdom of Scotland. Scottish Cumbria (lying between the Clyde and Solway) and Lothian (betweenthe Forth and the Tweed) were held by the Scottishcrown — the one as a territorial fief, the other as anEnglish earldom. " The primary fact from which theEnglish controversialist starts" — "the root of thewhole matter "— is the commendation of ConstantineII to Edward the Elder in 924 A. D. This is the firstgreat precedent in a long line of precedents, on whichthe English claims to a feudal supremacy in Scotland are based.The thesis maintains that the internal evidence ofthe sources denies to the so-called " Commendation "any historical basis ; it affirms that Scottish Cumbriawas held by a Scoto- British line without English interference, till it passed under the direct control of theScottish Crown ; that during the feudal period, Lothian,by the testimony of the best English sources, couldnot have been an English earldom, but must have beenan integral part of the Scottish kingdom. It maintains, further, that the reign of the Norman kings inEngland marks the establishment of the first definitefeudal relations between the two crowns. Williamthe Conqueror, in order to secure his northern border,granted to Malcolm Ceanmore twelve manors in England and an annual subsidy of twelve marks of gold,for which he rendered homage. The body of thethesis is occupied in tracing, in detail, the rapid andmarvelous development of this policy under the earlyPlantagenets, affected as it radically was by the alliedpolicy of intermarriage. These influences broughtabout an increasing fusion of interests within the tworealms. Not only the kings, but also their vassals andkingdoms, were affected by the new commercial,social and feudal relations. A Norman-Scotch nobilitygained a foothold in the Lowlands under king David(whose sister was the queen of the English court) andeventually laid claim to the Scottish crown. TheScots, in turn, extended themselves south of theTweed and Solway, till their fiefs dotted over thefairest portions of England. Scottish kings heldlands in nine counties of England, centering aboutthe Honor of Huntingdon. As a result of their alliances by marriage, their descendant, John "the Scot,"possessed the earldoms of Chester and Lincoln, besides the Huntingdon lands, and but for his untimelydeath might have worn the crown of Scotland. Thiscondition of affairs was the inevitable outcome of thepolicy inaugurated by the Conqueror, and of the de-UNIVERSITY RECORD 127sire on both sides to establish claims on the crown ofthe rival kingdom, by marriage. But complicated #asthese relations became, they were clearly understoodby the men of that day. The king of Scotland wasindeed the vassal of the English crown, just as theEnglish king was the vassal of the French crown.But his subjects took care that this relation shouldnot degenerate into that existing between the Englishcrown and the princes of Wales. They jealouslyguarded the independence of their kingdom andnative land. Again and again the king of England isforced to declare by letters under the royal seal, thathis feudal relation to the Scottish king, as lord of hisEnglish fiefs, shall never be so construed as to prejudice the liberties and independence of the kingdomof Scotland. The relation between the sovereigns wasa purely personal one ; but the forces which finallycut off England from the continental possessions andjoined her with Scotland were, for the moment, toostrong for the north. Alexander III, the only son ofan only son, left as his successor and sole heir his delicate little granddaughter, the maiden of Norway. Hernearest kinsman was the great Edward. The deathof Margaret, this "child of so many hopes," musthave been foreseen ; but the selfish ambition of theNorman-Scotch nobility, who had indirect claims onthe Scottish crown, prevented any provision for thesuccession in case of her death. In the anarchy whichthreatened to follow this event, an appeal to Edwardof England seemed the least of several evils, thoughthe Scottish Commons, not yet risen to great power,steadily resisted it. Thus Balliol, through the influence of the Norman-Scotch element, came to thethrone. But none could hold the sovereignty long when it was bought at the price of independence, andthe great Bruce, throwing aside all thought of English overlordship in Scotland, gave to the nationalspirit a voice and a leader. After years of struggleagainst overwhelming odds, the promise of ¦ betterthings was fulfilled in the victory of Bannockburnand the treaty of 1328 A. D., in which Edward IIIrenounced in the most absolute terms all claims toEnglish superiority in the kingdom of Scotland.Current Events.Head Professor Burton of the Divinity School wasgiven the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity atthe recent Commencement of Denison University,Granville, Ohio.The Final Examination of William Nelson Mebanefor the degree of Ph.D. was held Wednesday, June 23,at 8 : 30 a.m. in Room 21, Haskell Oriental Museum.Principal subject, Hebrew and the Old Testament;secondary subject, Assyrian.
