The treasurer also reports the
number and amount of each war
rant paid to something near one
hundred different individuals,
teachers and others, } all of which
is unnecessary and a confusing rig
amarole, SO far as tine public is
concerned. The general public has
no interest in how much pay Mr..
Willie Whackem or Miss Sallie
Spankum get for their services,
but the citizens of the different
communities do have an interest in
the amount of money in each dis
trict fund, and want to know how
much they may expect to run their
individual schools. The school
board, superintendent and treasu-
rer are expected to see that all
items are correctly kept on the
books, but there is no need in the
world to publish complete tran
script of the treasurers' books.

A STRONG WALL OF WORDS.

A wall of selfish words and deeds once grew
Within quiet home between the two
Who had not long before pledged faith and
trust,
Ger which grew cold suspicious icy crust;
For one was true and one was faithless
quite,
So from that home there faded out the
light,
Dark, changed and chill. their day gave
place to night.
A promise broken led to doubt and dread.
With cold words spoken and love-words
unsaid;
Ways lightly hayward. acts. deceits un-
wise,
And hearts blindfolded with veil of lies;
Then anger, hatred. doubts by false words
stirred.
determinations. kind words seldom heard.
Glad skies of hope by somber shadows
blurred.
No longer were blithe hours made glad with
song,
Or ministries that loving lives prolong:
But anger kindled into sullen fires.
Till faith gave way to ranking doubts and
Tres;
The household affairs were with birthstone
fed,
Scared hearts embittered, by warped evil
Homes tranquil hours of peace forever
dead.
Then grew that wall of words as strong as
fate,
Cemented with resentment and black hate;
While higher crept the barrier raised upon
That spot where two hearts once had beat
as one;
No longer linked in hourly touch and chime.
Harsh winter reigned where once smiled
blossom time,
And living in one home became crime.
The heart most deeply wounded went away,
To wander lonely over land and sea,
In grief for days that never more could be?
Or that the wounds which falsity thus gave
With treachery poisoned him and dug his
grave?

She Must Have Been very Bad.

In this day of slang and slipshod
English it is quite refreshing to find
one home in which our mother tongue
is appreciated, and sins against it's
purity are duly resented. That there is
at least one such was made evident in
a quarrel which took place in literary
household between the two youngest
inmates; quarrel, like most childish
differences, soon over, but fierce while
it lasted When his wrath had reached
it's height, the small son of the house,
quivering with anger, sought for Ian
guage to denounce his sister, who had
been the aggressor. "You bad" he
burst forth, stamping stubby shoe.
"You bad, you bad" words failed
him. Then with flash of truly literary
inspiration, he concluded: "You bad
grammar, you!'-Youth's Companion.
