The teachers meeting which was to
be held at the Branch Saturday, was
postponed until next Saturday, Feb.
II. The meeting will be called to
order at ZOO .. m. sharp, thus giving
teachers from the west an opportun-
lty to come on the noon train. Would
it not be we'll to make an effort to at
tend, even if the weather is not ''as
rare as day in June?" We Mantle
woo teachers have obtained a reputa
ton through our meetings. Are we
going to let slight inconvenience
deprive us of that reputation as well
as the vast amount of good these
meetings do?
Three teachers boarded a freight
train at 900 a. N. Saturday ANXIOUS
to reach the Branch before the dis
cussion on Hamlet was held. They
arrived at 1900. The following is
Hamlet's soliloquy modified to suit
their feelings:
To ride or not to ride. that is the question.
w neither tbs nobler In the car to suffer
The jars and jerks of outrageous frelg ht train
Or to put up umbrellas 'gainst of hail stones
And by opposing end them?-To skate, to walk,
No more; and by walk to say we end
The heartache and the thousand unnatural
The car is heir tots a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To walk slide;-
To slide, perchance to fall: ay there's the rub:
For in that icy road what falls may come,
When we have hustled off this blamed train
Must give us pause; there's the respect
That makes the cabOuse of 50 long life;
For who would bear the dirt and smell of bose
The conductors wrongs, the brakeman's con-
tumely,
The bangs of disjoined cars, the trains delay,
The incidents of booses, and the spurns
The patient merit of the teacher takes
When he himself might his quetus make
With broad umbrella? who would freight trains
bear
To freeze and sneeze before unclosinc doors
But that the fear of something on the road,
That CONCEALED vapor on whose surface
No traveller is safe, puzzles our Will
And makes us rather bear those ills We have
Than Fly TO Others that we know not of!
Thus CRYSTALS do make towards of us all:
And thus the native hue of our complexion
lis slcklied Ger with the pale cast of smoke;
And discussions of great pith and momeut
With this regard their authorskept away,
And lose the name-UHara,
