both going back to New York.
A nugget of gold worth 1926 was.

The District School of Spotless Town.
When the fall season opened, the
principal of the District School divid-t
ed the years work into eleven classes,
and asked that the head of each de-
partment should put into verse the
first lesson Of the year. The result
was very interesting, and we are glad
to reproduce it for the amusement and
instruction Of our many readers.

THE ALPHABET.
AN MT head or MA j
Can learn the Alphabet to say,
But U c 1t takes the clever II

READING.
THE short word READING, If twisted, it's
Will prove we GAIN by all we've RED;
But READING is such a valued thing
Its merits in no EAR I'll DING.
For he on Earnings road must lag
Who fails to RIDE that gentle NAG.
III Just point out one handy rule:-
You'll always find there IS A POOL
Wherever there's SAPOLIO,
And so for water need not go!
Each combination has the same letters as
the word READING. rs A POOL has
the same letters as SAPOLIO.
PUNCTUATION.
WHEN you have put coal on O. the fire,
Perhaps you, too, flame up with ire,
And with an exclamation mark CD
Your hands are now a shade too dark.
But then may come Il g. happy thought
OF wonders which that soap has wrought,
Whose widespread use through a period g
long,
Beyond all question marks (???D it strong.
So you ditto () the course you always 20
And make a dash g for SAPOLIO.
CLASS V.
ARITHMETIC.
TO MULTIPLY your pleasure each day
SUBTRACT all dirt that comes your way;
But to do this, you ought to know,

Which will DIVIDE by 8 your moil
And require but a FRACTION Of former
For the Rule Of Three" as may be seen,
Is DIRT plus SAPOLlO equals CLEAN!
GEOGRAPHY.
IN life, whatever is your SPHERE,
IT'S safe to STATE dirt will appear;
And this must quite annoying be,
For dirt is no delight to SEA.
But though it be piled MOUNTAIN high,
Els PLAIN that it will quickly fly.

And follow what the wisest say:
And all Of them SaypOLEo,
For that makes ev'rything clean as snow.
