nearly fills the square between the swim

very gentle slope except at the corners,
whore it rises at a considerable angle to
aid the runners In turning. The track
is nine feet wide and has about fourteen
laps to the mile The work was done by

We have right therefore. to appeal
to this club for aid in every governmental

sons which We who come after him should
learn. Among the most important of
these was the lesson that for veal or
for woe we arc indissolubly bound togeth-
er i'm whatever part OF the country we
live, whatever our social standing, what
