brary, Mr. Wright's subject being

subject GLOW We Are Governed"
One becomes more of patriot by
knowing what his citizenship means
and what obligations it lays upon him.
Despite the severe weather of Mon
day night, nearly all the members of
the Mems club attended the meeting
held at Prof G. S. Platt's. The liter
airy program was very interesting and
instructive as it dealt with the acqui-

States from the ID original colonies.
Prof Platt handled Florida in good
shape and showed the Florida of 1888
to be much larger than the state now
bearing that name. The Louisiana
purchase was next taken up by Rev G..
II. Linsley, and it's value to the Union
was well defined. Most of the states
of The middle west were made from
this territory. Texas was next in
order, and J. j. Northrop showed the
extent of this vast strip and the nu-
merous disputes over it's boundary.
The Mexican war was touched upon as
a result of it's annexation. The pur-
chase of Alaska was in charge of p. Fl {.
Mccarthy. The incident of it's dis
cOvery and it's wonderful resources in
fish, timber and fur were noted.
Porto Rico was next taken up by r. H.
Beers, who showed the value of the

Barker was last, with the Philippines,
and he showed the manner by which
they became part of Uncle Sans
domain. The battle of Manila on May

distinguished himself, was touched
upon. AS showing the develop
ment Of the Biographies and changes
in the United States E. l.. Johnson
exhibited a geography used by his
mother. 1t was published by P. Potter
in 1915. He also had geography con-
tanning maps printed along in the
foriies, which showed the middle
western states as 1.-THE great desert. -
In contrast with these quaint and i'm
perfect books he showed one of the
modern Biographies of the day, models
