licit bids for sprinkling carts The move
was made because the report proper
had gone over for one week, ara there
was no time to lose.
The sprinkling committees report
provided for the purchase of twenty
five sprinkling carts, which the COM
mittee estimate would cost ABOUT SI0.-
600. Then it is thought team and man
can be hired for So per day, and by this
arrangement much money can be saved
as compared with the expenditure last
year. when something like $4,000 was
disbursed for Sprinkling.

The long-deferred organization of the

The exercises were held in the large
hall on the second floor. which had
been appropriately decorated with
flags, bunting flowers and large por-
traits of Washington and other promi-
nent Americans.
The children, numbering nearly 500,
were massed in the center, while chairs
were arranged for visitors around the
outside. A raised platform on one side
of the hall made a fitting place for the
performers. where they could readily
be seen by the hundreds who packed
the hall from end to end.
The programme lasted about one
hour, after which the patrons and Wis
itors spent a pleasant social half-hour
in the building, becoming better ac-
quainted with the different teachers
and their work.
All seemed well pleased and many
expressed themselves surprised at the
excellence of the order maintained
throughout and the exercises by chill
dren so young.
Principal Bradford certainly has his
school in prime condition and is to be
on the efficiency of his
work. as evidenced by the careful
training his teachers must have given
the children in the different rooms.

whenever a preference has to be made,
1t was SO from the beginning, and
modern nations differ in no respect in
their devotions to emblems to those
of antiquity.
Nothing living is below the eagle in
his natural habitat and he alone of all
birds can gaze with undimmed eye up
on the face of the sun itself. Percival
in his address to the eagle thus sa-
lutes ii:
Bird of the broad and sweeping wing,
Thy home is high in Heaven
Where wide the storms their banners
fling
And the tempest clouds are riven.
The nations which after the Romans
adopted the eagle were the Franks un-
der Clovis and Dagrobert; but to
a serpent and lion for their symbols;
the Cloths a lion, rooster and bear: the
Danes, three lions and crow; the

white horse. When the German EN-
pire was reformed after Sedan, the
king of Prussia availed himself of the
circumstance that from the time of
Charlemagne, all the elected Emperors
of Germany used the eagle as the in
sigma Of supreme power, till in con-
sequence the imperial dignity having
remained for so many generations in
the Hapsburg family, ii became the
heirloom Of that house. When William
|. resurrected so much of the ancient
ratrmony of Charlemagne as was en-
braced in central Europe he also resur-
hind the she-wolf that sucked Romu-
lus. Germany has therefore her black
eagles. As symbol of imperial dig
nifty tho eagle is also found on the
throne of Bavaria.
But It is in the United States alone
that the eagle is an emblem OF popular
freedom However. in so far as the
eagle is symbolical its adoption was a
Lappy afterthought with us, and with
us therefore the bird has had newer

acquired in all the previous history of

things that seemed good in Europe.
And having adopted him we have en-
