East bloomfield. ~ j.. June 30. 1902
My Dear Sir: l am very glad that the war

Beers got reasonable terms, for l admire them
pie. very hardy. Industrious and Godfearing
men. and they fought desperately to save their
homes. Although not skilled in dress parades
and military manners $ the British. they were
good marksmen and desperate fighters.
The British loss was always many times as
great as the BOer loss. James Henry'S grand
father has stated that the Beers will find that
the presence of the English people in their
country will he benefit to them
Perhaps it will be benefit to the world at
large. and England in particular. but it remains
to be seen whether it will be to the Beers
themselves

tions also with the giant birds, Corea, and
Abyssinia the subjects. In nearly all of
them facts and views so well expressed
that the selection of the superior work became
O difficult task.
The Editor regrets to say that one little writer
made great mistake when she copied nearly
the whole of her contribution from a book.
She was careless about it, too, for she skipped
a line of the printed matter from which she
drew. and made bad mess of it.
One little boy OF eleven sent an account of
the Boer war. its causes and effects, which was
worthy of who had made African his
tory a study but there were some objectionable
errors in the work. The same was the case with
a little writer on the subject of West Point
Her composition was in every respect good. but
unfortunately she thought that West Point
turned out officers for both the army and the
navy. and that error caused her to lose prize;
but her writing indicates that she is bright
enough to win first place. and we know she will
not be discouraged by this failure.
If the prizes had been awarded for originality
of thought the little girl who spoke of the Amer
lean eagle as the biggest bird" with eggs as
large the Philippine Islands. would have
taken higher rank. Her standing would have
been closely contested by the bright little woman
who made fun of poor old grandfather and held
up 10 rldlcule all the old mans weaknesses.

Of talk about the clubs. and many believed that
the ladies who came wore blue stockings. After
