Clean Streets

To the Editor of the Press:
As summer is approaching hope you will
remind citizens of the importance of clean
streets to healthy city. The winters accu.
mutation of rubbish has just been removed
and it is to be hoped that our Police will see to
it that the city ordinances are enforced. These
forbid the throwing into the streets of decayed
vegetables, Sc. or pouring into the cutters
brine and any foul liquids. Scavenger carts
and sewers are provided for all refuse, and il
any are too careless to use them, such should
be made to feel that our sanitary condition is
of more consequence than their personal con-
venience. We hope however, that everv one
will take pleasure in cooperating with our
municipal authorities in this direction, and
thus contribute to make Portland as distin.
guished for cleanliness as it is for situation
aud for other natural beauties. H.

GLASS SONG OF ~.
4;r-OTI EniL.s Mt Hmm,

Air-Oa Fotks at Home.
All too swift our school-iie leaves us,
Standing heart to heart
The dear old days are going from US,
Soon must we part.
We have climbed tie hill together,
Struggling side by side,
Let us help each other ever
In the world SO wide.
CHORUS.
Distant skies may smile upon us,
Deep seas roll between,
Always will We keep thy mem'ry
Ever fresh and green
Dear old Glass of 20.
Merry days In this old schoolroom,
Happy times we've seen,
Darkened oft by passing shadows,
Like troubled dream.
From our dreams we now are waking
In an unknown land,
May We meet its dangers bravely,
An earnest steadflst band.
Stand we eager on the confines
OF days past and gone,
Waiting, longing for he future,
Slowly coming on.
Now our way is last dividing,
May it, when the work is done,
When the strife OF life is ended
At last blend into one
Parting now perhaps forever,
Breaking the golden chain
Which has bound us fast together,
And ne'er will bind again.
To those happy, careless hours
Sadly We say goodbye,
And with tender hearts we leave you
Goodbye, old school, goodbye.
The exhibition was one that reflected gres
credit upon the class and showed no little DIR:

that the girls and boys had only melted out

means fit place for an entertainment of tn
kind. We must thank the class of 20 for
most agreeable mornings entertainment al
wish them the realization of all their hopes
