Price Of the Child Slave. Life.

What is IL worth, the life of the child,
Who is ruthlessly driven all day.
Who never has laughed and has never
run Wild
Nor discovered the meaning Of play?
The child who Is burdened with toll at
his birth.
What is the life God has given him
worth?
Is the life OF the child who is robbed OF
his own,
Worth the price which the spoiler must
yield,
When his soul. as he shrinks in the dark
ness alone,
h no the gaze or his God is revealed?
Is the life OF the child worth the price
ii must cost
II a God is above and If souls may be
lost?

eyes of the hilarious crowd; and even
the faculty, grave and dignified as they
may be, will none the less surely get
theirs" in large packages. Several OF
'the school musical poets have arranged
josh words to the latest popular songs
and students who escape the quips of
the end men will come in for share of
the fun when the circle sings its songs.
Kendrick Chamberlain will act as in
terlocutor, with Verne Rogers, Stan
Mitchell, Ray Petty and Charlie Mills
as the four end men. Petty and Rogers
were the originators of the scheme and
have worked hard to make it success.
The track team has also made sac
riice to go north. Last year the team
went to the Pomona track meet and
took the championship banner. This
year it was question as to whether
they cared to go north and try for
the championship of the state or
whether they would go to the smaller
and less important meet at Pomona.
The decision was made in favor of the
former and high school will not put a
team in the Pomona meet. Two of the
high school boys, Pillsbury and Will
liaIns, will enter, but the team will not
compete because the lack OF funds pre-
vented their entering both meets.
In addition to excellence in athletic
| lines the high school teams must also
comply with strict scholarship require
ments, and the members of the team
are gstting "signed up" by their teach
ers as to their skill in doing the high
hurdle in the algebra class or the broad
jump in Latin. The scholarship record
of the boys has been such as to permit
all the team to try out for places on
the aggregation which will go north

Los Angeles high school is determined
that this city shall not fall below the

high school is planning to send eight of
its champions up north for the great
event in which sixty schools will be

more required would come from:
Pledges for almost $3.50 were secured
from the boys of the school, but still

WILD WOMAN IN WOODS.
Harvard Professor Sees Her, Clad onl,
In Leaves

Professor Macauley OF Harvard uni.
versity. who has been spending some
time I'm the forests OF Blue Sea lake,
not far from Ottawa, Ont. reports
having seen "the Wild woman" OF that
region.
He states that while hunting one
day I'm the woods near Gatlncau river
scurrying I'm the undcrbrusl caused
MIN TO quickly turn his rifle in the
direction OF the sound. To his surprise
the wild face OF human being tanned
to dark brown by exposure TO sun
and air, framed by tangled masses OF
dark coarse hair, and Enthusiastically
the face OF woman, pccred at him
from the shadows. The hunter quietly
approached her, but before he could
speak she turned and fed.
Professor Macauley says she seemed
TO be dressed I'm nothing more sub.
stantial than leaves intwined and mat.
ted together SO as 10 form n covering
for her body. He made inquiries In
the neighborhood and found that 9th.
er persons besides himself had seen
the woman.
IL appears that owing to an injury
done the woman years ago she has
ever since summed human society and
lived In the depths OF the bush. How
She keeps alive during the severe Ca
madam winters Is mystery.
