During a recent visit of the superin-
tendent of schools to the intermediate
department of the village school, Miss
Illesly, teacher, the general question
given out was as to the origin of the
English language. The Superintend-
ent suggested that written answers be
handed in. We are pleased to say
that the papers have been passed in
for examination by the following
pupils: Lottie Batchelder, Rosie
Chamberlin, Mary Hale, Elsie Bur
roughs, Edith Marcy, Harland Knox,
Roy L. Burroughs and Huburt j. Steb-
bins. Every answer is good one
and we are unable to select the best
one. This exercise is cOmmendable
and the answers a compliment to the
pupils. We select one for publication
it being explicit as to dates, and in
teresting as to subject matter as were
all the others. The following is by
Huburt j. Stebbins. 'The English
language is derivitive; and is now
spoken by over 100 million of people.
1t was formed from the language of
+,ih ho IF
Germany. There are four periods in
100 called the Anglo Saxon period.
Second, from the year 100 to 1850
called the early English period"
Third, from the year 1850 to 1856 call
ed the middle English Period"
Fourth, from the year 1885 to the pres
ent time called the Modern English
period
From political standpoint we have
not always been able to quite agree
with the w. c. 7, Us. We do how
ever take pleasure in much of their
work and believe the organization has
communities. Their work of gather
ing flowers and making hundreds of |
fragrant and beautiful bouquets and |
sending them to the poor and sick in
the cities, the spirit that prompts such |
work is Godlike. Then too, we are
under obligations for many literary
treats, some of them rare and costly.
Let the good work OF this organiza-
ton receive our endorsement.
