his physical condition. investigating to

spring vacation gave them few days leisure

idea spread until And whole delegations
of school marms coming by special train each
Easter, and, oddly enough. many Of the teachers
come back year after year at this tme-perhaps
to study political economy history in the

Der OF states this tendency has been encouraged
by the educational authorities who believe that
object lessons at government making in Washing

learning. The result has been that number OF
the invading parties that have descended upon
the City of Magnificent Distances these past few
years have embraced practically the entire mem
bership OF their respective schools.
But how, perhaps you are asking, does this
make work for the president? Very simple-each

they usually so agtate the matter with their re
spective congressman and senators-layng stress
upon the educational status of the visit-that the
lawmakers bestir themselves to secure dates at

though the fact spurs the pedagogues to fresh
endeavors to secure the boon OF reception at

Thou didst suffer to release us.
Thou didst free salvation bring;
Hail, though agonizing Savior,
Bearer OF our sin and shame;

Life is given through thy name.

All our sins on thee were laid;
BY almighty love anointed.
Thou hast full atonement made;
All thy people are forgiven

Opened is the gate OF heaven;
