CLASS OF 1889

The Secretary has received an invitation to the graduating exercises of the St. Louis Community Training School for Church School Workers. The dean of the school, Chester B. Curtis, is to preside and present the diplomas. This is evidently one of the points of contact with the community outside his regular business which is so characteristic of Curtis. We note that this is the seventh graduating class, and that the Training School is connected with the Department of Religious Education of the Church Federation, which includes churches of various denominations.

Irving E. Sanborn, after continuous service with the Chicago Tribune extending over twenty-one years, has been granted a liberal life pension by the paper, and has moved to Canandaigua, N. Y., where he has purchased a home. He writes that he will be able to "plant a quadrilateral, and heterogeneous garden whose dimensions are in feet instead of rods, but still ample for all the physical training a man of my age needs—am not yet old enough to take up golf." During the past fifteen years "Sandy has averaged 25,000 miles of travel each year with the Major League baseball teams. What a contrast his present outlook affords! Is it any wonder that he rejoices in "the chance to scratch the dirt again, and perhaps to make two hills of yellow bantam grow where nothing but weeds flourished before?" He is not to be allowed to get entirely away from baseball, for he has promised to write one article a week for the Tribune and two articles a month for the Baseball Magazine. His address is 165 Howell St., Canandaigua, N. Y.

Secretary, Dr. David N. Blakely, 87 Milk St., Boston
