rounding the student here are good, and
withal, there is no reason why Gould
Academy should not grow to be one Of

Az the days grow short and windy and cold,
People will need warmer nannels and hose,
And our stock Il sadly In need Of more,
For this year we haven't bought those.
Our blankets too are almost all gone,
And our stock Of shawls ID small,
Cottons and crashes and nannels and ticks,
Oh, yes, We are needing them all.
Ribbons and ruches too, and gloves,
Corsets and neckties, light and gay,
Spool cotton and silk, needles and pins,
And such things you use every day.

And this we think good reason,
Why Mise Prince went to Boston herself, to select
