y Next from Seminary student OF y0re,
. TO whose name there can be no objection
Gives one hundred and eighty specimens
more,
Known as "The Helen Leslie Collection.
Randall, Atkinson, Chamberlain, Smith,
TO know that they have added as q gift
Nearly two hundred more to this ente
prise.
Doubtless there are other names ! wOul
Which should be used in this connection
Which II only had the time to write,
Would help to swell the grand total co
lection.
SO much about Natures rocks and ore,
Which speak of many hills and mountai
brooks,
But must not close the door
Until tell little about these books.
ALI these books on tables and racks,
Spread before you in bright array,
Are not to be paid for by a tax,
They are free gift, there's nothing to
pay.
DO you ask, who is the donor,
And what Is the message he sends
l reply, there was more than one owner,
The message Is, from many friends.
Now about all these type-wrters,
And this subtitle Invisible electrtcd
power,
II should attempt to explain them all out
1t would take at least whole hour
But look, here Is something antique an(
rare,
| None of your cheap new-ta1gled styles,
A sofa, covered with best woven hair,
The gift of Mrs. K. l.. Childs.
1 have been with you into these two rooms,
To let you see, how have been planted
the germs,
But would have you distinctly bear in
This has all been done, within the past
tlUO terms.
But the contents of these two rooms
Is not all, which we can boast,
For improvements have been so many,
They seem to be indeed host.
Penmanship has been taught with great
success,
This one fact l dare not slight,
For if one thing there is that helps us
thoughts to express
1t is to know hOlO to write.
Yes know am one of the committee,
But would not from another his honor
wrench,

TO the teacher, Mr.. French.
Yet know when stood alone last year
| tried hard to make work my plan,
For 1 claimed if you ever build up big
school here
You must hire live energetic man.
Some persons there may be here
Who live upon interest and rents,
Who think they have great reason to fear,
Unless they know the value in dollars
and cents.
OF such would ask with all due respect,
When you sOlU your seed in the spring
Do you think you can tell from cause to
effect,
Do not think Pm stubborn
And bound to have eight,
1 am always willing to give in
Unless l think I'm right.
Well, so much for the teachers,
did not expect to talk so long,
But it takes lot of writing
To put this thing in song
There are many other things
About which ought to speak.
But if l should try to tell them all
1t would take at BEAST week.
But there are some few things
Such as letting the hall. making repairs,
Putting up stoves and pipe,
That always tell aORO saoedrs.
Then there's one thing more,
That Is worse IMAM all or THESE
When we had done the very best VIE could, |
Some say, you haven't tried to please.
In your mind you may be honest,
As you sit by your Preside at ease,
But I'd Just like to have you try it
If you think you can everybody please.
AS the committee, so the teachers,
Chronic grunablers think both are fools,
But ask you to stand by the committee
Your teachers, and your schools.
Protect yourselves, your children and your
Yield not to bigots, stand for right,
Tis educHtiosGas potent grasp
That marks a nations might
Fellow citizens of district number four,
And my native Ok Bow district too,
There's important business standing at your
door,
Will you both your urgent duty do?
Is it not time that you should act?
There has been much talk, but little done
Do you not think it is a fact
Districts three and four should be made
one?
IS it not plain for both to see
Should once you join in hand and heart,
Establish grades not less than three.
You meier again will wish to part.

Using arguments of length,
But you all believe the words
