The day before twas yesterday
They said twas "beastly hot;"
With yesterday SO hot that they
Could simply gasp "itsot."
To-day the breeze was to the north
With little drops of rain,
So people that in shirts came forth
Went back for coats again.
Then right on top of all this change
: OF weather and the like,
Our Teddy 'lects to disarrange
Oldfashioned spelling's pike;
And as we wonder down the road
A lookin' for path,
A poet-feller sure is throwed !
From out the aftermath.
A notion blossoms out to sing
About the walls of heat;
But fore Pegasus takes the wing
It's colder than Old Pete.
This, with Ted's mix-up makes it tuff
For "souls that soar sublime"
A nudge may come to fix up "stuff,"
The gol-darn stuff wont rhyme.

Monday was spent in arranging pro-
gram and getting into working order.

This year the board has introduced
free text books in reading and spelling.
Stationery and ink are also free. The
Board has taken a step in the right di-

the Board is financially able. The

commodities one, sometimes two and
seldom three. The burden of expense
does not fall on the individual having
the largest family but is equally divided
among the taxpayers. Also, the liabil
ity of frequent changes in text books is
practically eliminated even when new
officers come into the school system.
