The low first grade made spelling
books tast week. They arc very
proud of their new books and they
:tre taking a great interest in [earn-
ing to speit the words.
We have received the instruments
for the rhythm band. We met Frt*
day and made an attempt to get the
pupils organized. Everyone seemed
-very enthusiastic; and the onty troub-
le that we had was in not having
enough instruments for each one in
the first three grades.
Some things sixth graders do not
learn in geography class:
When a tone settler or traveler in
the vast, uninhabited sections of Aus-
tralia is sick, lost or in any other
lsind of serious troubte. he is permit-
ted to cut a telegraph wire, an act
which is a catt for hetp. Linemen im-
mediatety ascertain, through electric
instruments, where the cut was made,
often hundreds of mites away and set
out at once with food, watdr and
first-aid equipment.
Resotutions always remind us of a
wise bit of philosophy:
"Believe onty half you hear; and
alt you arc able to see."

When death ptaces its chitting hand
on the warm putsating heart of our
loved ones, we ptace the mantte of
charity over their lives for it's no!
ours to measure the standards of
merit and award them palms. Death
has no destinations, smalt, great,
poor and rich going with it, always
teaving in its wake a patt of sadness.

a neighbor, a friend, a husband and

terests of his children and grand-

wife in the blending of their mutuat
affection and the cementing of famity
ties. Now it's so hard and difficult
for them to understand why he
should be taken from them. Truty,
