The Companion as
Christmas Gift.

Can you think of a gift more certain
to be acceptable than years SUBJ
scription to The Youths Companion?
Is there anyone, young or old, who,
having once had the paper in his hands
and looked through it, did not wish to
possess it for his very own? 1t is a
gift which, far from losing its fresh
ness as Christmas recedes into the past,
grows more delightful, more necessary
to ones enjoyment week by week.
The boy likes it, for it reflects in its
pages every boyish taste and every fine
boyish aspiration. The father likes it,
not only for its fiction but for its fund
of information of the practical sort.
The girl likes it for the stories, anec-
dotes, sketches and editorial articles
printed in each number especially for
her. The mother likes it for its stories
of domestic life and family affection,
for its children's page and for its med
ical article.
On receipt of $1.75, the yearly sub
scription price, the publishers send to
the new subscriber all the remaining is-
sues of The Companion for 1905 and the
"Minutemen" Calendar for 1906, litho-
graphed in twelve colors and gold.
Full illustrated Announcement of the
new volume for 1906 will be sent with
sample copies of the paper to any adj
dress free.

necessary ante-room or cloak
room was built in front of build
ing last summer. The two school
houses mentioned were built in
the summer of 1903. The Lit
tie Red Schoolhouse" is a famil-
lar appellation, but white is just
as good, better; for there is
nothing prettier in buildings in
the country than clean white.
And on our plains can there be
anything better to break the mo-
notony of the way, than a we'll
built, symmetrical, white school
house?
The Corrizo schoolhouse, also,
was greatly improved by new
roof and other necessary repairs.
Also, the Blaine schoolhouse will,
probably, be treated to three
coats of paint soon.
Few of the schoolhouses, also,
have been insured, and others
will probably insure soon. All
this is commendable and a tribute
to the school officers. OF course
all of our districts cannot afford
extensive repairs and some do
not need any. But where any
repairs and improvements are
needed and patrons of the dis
tricts are willing and anxious to
have all that is necessary to
make the school buildings con-
venient and comfortable, it is
highly commendable. But, real
ly, all of our schools are rather
short on apparatus. Some of our
districts can afford better. And
we teachers satisfy ourselves by
trying to do without them be-
cause they are not there. We
do not expect to have extensive
or costly apparatus in our county
schools; but there is apparatus
that is indispensable and any ef-
forts on the part of teachers to
secure same should not be disre-
garded by directors, and we feel
certain that they will not.

A FEW of our citizens are try

in the need of securing lamps for
lighting the school house. Suit
able lamps should be ordered at
once so that private individuals
need not loan these necessities
so frequently for public benefit
