Christmas Song.

Christmas bells are ringing. ringing,
On this glad December morn;
Children joyful songs are singing
Of little babe that's born
Born in Bethlehem, tell the story,
Christ is born, the King of glory.
While the shepherds watch were keeping
Through the silent starry night,
Ger their hOcks on hillsides sleeping,
Lo. they saw wondrous sishtl
And they heard a gladstone singing
Thro' the Vaulted heavens ringing.
Fear not, sand an angel stranger,
For It's joyful news bring
In a stable, in a manger,
There is born an infant King.
Go and seek Him, you will find
Christ the Saviour of mankind.
Glory in the highest, glory,
Peace on earth, good will toward men
Hear the Angels blessed story:
Christ is born in Bethlehem,
Christ the Saviour born this day
Came to take our sins away.
Let us join the heavenly chorus,
Loud our Christmas anthems raise
To the Saviour reigning DER US,
Who is worthy of all praise.

a fine head set nobly on his shoulders.
In many ways, runs the description, he
is the ideal of what has been called the
true American aristocrat-intellectu
shrewd, wealthy, of fine old family,
pure life, courtly manners, handsome
presence, easy humor and dignified with
out being at all unapproachable. His
closest personal friends in Washington

have been Senator Edmunds, Justice

good illustration of what The Independent is
constantly doing. A list of the most promi-
nent religious and philosophical writers, poets
and story writers in the country is the list of
the contributors of The Independent. Besides
the space set aside for these writers and for
editorials there are twenty-five distinct de-
partments, edited by twenty-five specialists,

Daring the past wear great attention ha.
been given to instruction in reading, wiring

PHYSICIANS REPORT.
Quite large number of the boys have suf-
fered from various forms of eye disease. the
most common being simple conjunctivlties,
with some cases Of corneitis and iritis. sever
al being very severe. There have been few
cases of bronchitis, and some of indigestion
and diarrh9a, which all yielded quickly to
treatment and good nursing. No long cases
of sickness have occurred. and no epidemic
diseases have prevailed
On the morning of July Sd, boy who had
previously seemed to be in very fair health
was suddenly taken sick and died before the
physician could reach him. Having been
ordered by Coroner Gould to make post
mortem examination, he did so on the follow
ing day, assisted BY Dr. Stephenson. The
physicians found very extensive tuberculosis
of the bowels, lungs. and brain. rendering
the cause of death very evident.
August 18th, one of the boys while playing,
fractured both bones Of the left leg. On Oct.
goth another boy fell while at play and dislo-
Gated his left shoulder. Still another frac-
tured his right clavicle. These are the only
cases of severe injury that have occurred.
The officers of the school have not only
nursed the boys most faithfully when i'll. but
have taken the utmost care to prevent sick
ness among them.
CONCLCsIoN.
In closing this abstract we would say, the
citizens and taxpayers of this State have a
right to expect good fruits in large measure
from this Institution. If the conduct of the
school, and its present condition, has succeed
ed in meeting their reasonable expectations,
then the school is entitled to their favorable
consideration, and a liberal support. We
would add. that in our judgment the school
is exceedingly we'll differed and is doing a
noble work.
