two. "will you have time to show how to run the blow around the corn?" 1T don't know" came the prompt reply: 'T have to write 250 words on the American Revolution before school begins" It set me to thinking: The days work of this boys life--the days work of all our youth.
 This boy had risen betimes and had helped to feed the stock while others had millsed. Later we find him rem dering first aid to the inJured--the in- jured being a calf that had tumbled into a ditch and was nearly dead. Then came the fixing of the blow and then the '250 words on the American Rev olution."
 Breakfast is over early and Alabama Hall presents a lively scene at sun rise and all the later morning hours. Usually, by an hour after sunrise, I see two of our young women walking towards our westernmost house-and these are going to do the room work at the various rooms where the boys live. These same girls with others will be in a class in dieletics a little later and before the day Is done, it may be algebra and grammar and arithmetic has been added to their store of learning.
 
 style counterpanes. They were made by a woman who wants to educate her son here at Camp Hill. They are the kind our great-grandmothers used to make in New England. They can be had at moderate cost Mr. Ward will be glad to give details to any who may write him. l should like to help this mother and her son.
 Before another issue of our paper is out the sixth year of our school will be over. What these six years of struggle and toll means to us no one outside our little company of workers will ever know. They have been days of expectancy and joy. As we look back 1t does not seem so long and yet we see the long list of names of stu dents who have been here and gone away. The trouble and the worry have been compensated for by the life among the boys and girls. It is always youth and buoyancy and hope. Some- times our prayer is only this: Lord, let us live among the boys and girls, al- way. Time has been so kind and men have been so good. If the next six years can only be as kind! If we are all true to each other and to ourselves and don't shirk. the spirit of youth will never die out from us.
 We are greatly in need of a print ing press Since publishing our last Student have received several letters with reference to the printing outfit One gentleman says, You must have a printing outfit. You know how the boys and girls would like to work at it and we never can have our papers as we wish in all the villages of our State until we get printers. I do' not think any one thing would be more helpful to the school than a small printing press. Let us have another arr ticle on the printing press telling how the money would go to the students and how much the State needs print CTS. We have now a young man who is pretty good typesetter and press man who would like to work at print ing and go to school nights if the op- | portunity was only presented. I am | sure that some one before long will | help us to printing press.
 U. s. Flag.
 In 1900 MT. Louis Amin Ames, of Amin & Company, flag makers. New York, gave us a United States flag. The flag has been to the breezes every pleasant day since. It Is now tattered and torn. It has been mended again and again. The patches are like new patches on an old garment It goes up at sunrise and comes down at sunset regularly. Will some one give us new hag7 The height of the pole Is seventy feet.
