OUR citizens deserve credit for
the pride they take in our schools.
We venture the assertion that not a
student ever went forth from our
little city, but went away with the
best wishes of our people; they
gave him encouragement during
school life and when he departed
took him by the hand and said,
God speed thee. Not one who
has finished the course in our
schools, wherever he may now be,
but wishes our town ard her PEG
pie we'll, for it was among our
Christian people, surrounded by an
influence that was elevating and
noble, animated by the SPLENDID
example Of our citizens that he re-
ceived the foundation which makes
him today the upright citizen in
any community in which he may
live.

education. Mir Monagan talked on salaries, and MT Reiley's theme was school property and how it should be cared for. He explained why the board wants to purchase four or five lots at the Walsh school and build an addition there, and also why the Mulcahy school should be fenced and the lot put in shape so that 1t may be used as a play ground without too much risk to life and limb.
