should be very careful in choosing our
literature | am now reading "Ivanhoe,
by Scott. 1t is fine. The clock IS rap1aly
ticking away the minutes. How time flies!
Do we all realize the Importance of I'M
proving the moments as they speed
away? Time is more precious than money.
Money Is given us to obtain the neces-
saries of life, but time is given us to
improve minds. Time may be com,
pared to long string of diamonds ana
every moment we lose is a diamond gone.
Oh! how fast our diamonds crop one py
one down. down into the ocean or time
and out Of sight. All that Is left Tor us
to do is to watch more carefully the re
naming ones. l received several nice let
tiers from the Juniors and WISH 10 say ~
one and all that your letters were DIP
nreciated I could not answer all.

Nor: 1t seems that some of the cousins
cannot write without criticising the boys

the defense of the boys in the charge
made upon them by the girls. 1t is not
my aim to score the girls for their at
tack upon the boys, but simply wish to
thank them for arousng the boys to
action. The Junior page of this week,

ever read. | also notice that more of
the letters are headed by the names OF
boys than usual Do you catch. girls?
Hurrah. boys! Raise high your banner
exercise your talents, and lets WIN
great victory by showing the girls tne
