| Sleep on thy beauty.
Thou sweet Angel child,
By sorrow uhblighted,
By sin undeflled.
| Like the dove of the ark
| Thou hast flown to thy rest
| From the wild sea of strife
| To the home of the blest.
A FRIEND.

Recess and an ''open Door" !"
EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:

For two or three weeks past have
been reading with interest and
genuine satisfaction the little articles
written in both your and our estim
able friend, Mr.. Adams paper, upor
the recess question and now want
to contribute my little mite In behalf
of the same subject. Every WORD
written upon that subject is the
truth, only it has not been agitated
half strong enough. I am wholly in
sympathy with that mother who was
brave enough to express her views
about the little ones Eyes and some OF
the older ones too) that are deprived
Of their one recreation, and also OF
the children standing outside the
closed doors, no matter how cold the
weather until the first bell shall ringl
l understand they were instructed to
wait until the bell rang before start
ing, but how can that rule be
followed by anyone living at a dis.
tance. Should that rule be followed
and the pupil be late then his name
is taken from the Roll of Honor. To
my certain knowledge, some of those
that were unfortunate enough to be
there little early and we've CON-
PEELED to stand outside when the
thermometer was 80 below zero had
their ears nipped and one little girl
had her nose frosted. Why can't one
room be left open for them, isn't one
childs health of more importance
than a little confusion and disorder
in the school room. All the children
are not clothed in purple and fine
linen, all are not clothed as warm as
the principal and teachers, why not
experiment little and let the Princj.
pal stand outside and the pupils
stand by the stove, how long would
that rule stand, think you, and right
here let me move a hearty vote of
thanks to Miss Reilly for her christian
sympathy and help toward so many
that have been SO sadly in need of J..
during these cold, trying weeks; may
she continue in her good work and
many blessings follow her. am
sorry Mr.. Editor if have taken up
too much space in your valuable
paper and 1 thank you for your
patience, and in closing I will just
ask this question; of what use is the
Physiology in the public schools
anyway, unless it is taught according
to the requirements of the law.
