Camping on Arcadia Heights.

Up in the morning, when ever you choose,
Down to the Office to gather the news,
Eating your breakfast. Myl such appetites
Have the Campers on Arcadia Heights.
Then to the study class where you can hear,
Preachers whose talents are praised far and
near,
OF course you get often in many plights,
What's that5 When camping on Arcadia
Heights.
There surely are chiggers, "many a batch"
You seldom get good things without a
scratch.
In the afternoon you may see the sights,
There are many, on Arcadia Heights.
There's a beautiful view from Sunset Rock,
One gazing Ger mountains which seem to
lock,
Sees the sun as it dcscends on the night,
Shed wondrous beauty on Arcadia Heights.
The sermons at night all hearts do inspire,
And the words seem burning with living
FIRE,
Whose brilliant flames shed most glorious
light
Der the people on Arcadia Heights.
There are all kinds of sports upon the
ground,
A slide, two swings and a merry-go-ronnd,
Which to the children furnished great de-
light,
They have these on Arcadia Height.
T'ward the swimming pool with floor of
concrete,
The re.echoing sounds of many feet,
Can be heard, for every one has their
rights,
When they're tenting on Arcadia Heights.
There are two tennis courts, side by side,
And you can also take a horseback ride,
None of these amusements can cause you
fright,
Or they would not be on Arcadia Height.
Down from the mountain to Mulligan Hole,
Lassies and laddies at last reach the goal,
And all things seem wrought with the Hand
of Might,
To the people upon Arcadia Height.

School Notes.

The Public Schools of Ironton
and Arcadia will open Monday,
September I'd, 1912. The school
management would urge upon all
patrons the necessity of starting
the children the first day of school
and continuing a perfect attend
ance throughout the school. This
will greatly aid the teachers in or
ganizing their classes with no loss
of time in repeating and reclassify-
ing for the sake of late entries.
No books should be purchased
until the pupil has consulted lthe
teacher. But few changes have been
made in the books. 1t was thought
best to finish the books the pupils
have and use supplemental books
with them. In some cases the
supplemental book will precede
the regular adoption.
Several new courses have been
added to the high school course Of
study for the coming year. They
are Advanced American History,
American Literature, Solid Geom-
etry and Trigonometry, Book
keeping and Agriculture with Ex-
perimental work. The last two
courses are to be very practical.
The complete High School curse
as now given is outlined as follows;
First Year-English Grammar
and Composition Algebra 1; Ply
steal Geography Laboratory and
hottest; Ancient History (note-
book required).
Second Year-English Compost
ton and Rhetoric; Algebra 2;
Agriculture Laboratory and
notes); Medium and Modern His
tory notebook required); Latin
(Elective).
Third Y~ear-History of American
Literature; Pl. Geometry; Ameri-
can History notebook required);
Pedagogy (Elective); Latin 2.
Fourth Year-History of English
Literature; English History (note-
DOCK requlred); Sohd G6ometry,
Trigonometry (Elective) Latin 8.
(Elective).
The course as outlined will meet
the requirements of the University
for II units; A in English, a in
History, 8 in Mathematics, 3 In
Science and Bin Latin. This will
give two electives in the course
which may be taken either in Lat
in Science or Mathematics.
Besides the regular courses all
pupils have an opportunity to take
Vocal Music and Elocution.
The grade work this year will be
strengthened by supervision and
supplemental work. More atten-
tion will be given to handwork,
writing, drawing and excursions.
With the curse of study offered
this year it Is not necessary for
any resident of the district to send
their boy or girl away to school

clearly shown by the Presidents message
on foreign relations sent to Congress De-
cember 3, 1912. in which he said: The

POLICE LAUNCH IS SUNK
IN COLLISION ON RIVER
Major Sylvester Submerged When
the Diana Crashes Into
Craft.

Policemen Vincent A. Osterman and
Harry r. Passeno of the harbor precinct
had an exciting experience yesterday aft
ernoon about 4:3O o'clock when the
launch Maj. Sylvester was struck and
sunk by the launch Diana, owned by a
local dredging company and in charge OF
Peter Freeman, colored.
With hole in her side big enough to
allow the Potomac river to flow into the
boat without hindrance the launch this
afternoon is lying on blocks in the boat
house at the harbor precinct station. The
boat was taken from the water last night,
soon after the accident. Every precau-
ton was taken to prevent damage to the
machinery from freezing. 1t is thought
that beyond the damage to the hull no
further injury was done the boat by be-
ing sunk.
The accident to the Sylvester leaves the
harbor police but one small launch with
which to do patrol work on the river, as
the tug Vigilant, the big boat OF the po-
lice fleet, has been out of service for
boiler repairs for several weeks and il
will be late in January before she is
ready to resume service.
The accident occurred near the mouth
of the eastern branch channel. The po-
licemen were taken aboard the Diana
plunged into the water.
The launch Sylvester had been up the
Eastern branch as far as Benning and
was on it's way to the harbor precinct S
Office when the accident occurred. Free
man was on his way to a dredge owned
by the company. by which he is en-
ployed. He experienced trouble with his
steering ropes.
1t is stated that Freeman was arrang-
ing his ropes and was not looking ahead
and that his boat made so sudden turn
that it was impossible for the occupants
of the police craft to steer out of its
way.
Freeman stopped his engine as soon as
the collision occurred. and while he was
experiencing trouble getting start the
policemen feared they would have to leap
into the icy water, but just as the bow
Of the Sylvester went beneath the sur
face they managed to get aboard the
Diana.
Frank Kintz captain Of the tug George
W. Pride. fouled his boat on a bar while
answering the distress signal whistled by
the police launch. He soon was able to
get off the bar however. and in a few
minutes he was towing the disabled craft
to its moorings.

REPAIRS FOR ARMY STEAMER.
Pontonier Will Be Scraped and
Painted for Winter Lay.Up.

In order to be hauled out on the larger
marine railway at Benefits boatyard,
the United States Army steamer Ponto-
nier is lying at the shipyard foot Of 18th
street southwest. The vessel will be
taken from the water as soon as tide
conditions will allow.
While on the railway the hull of the
vessel will be scraped and painted In
preparation for the winter lay-up of the
craft. The Pontonier is one Of the most
unusual vessels in service on the river
in the fact that her hull is divided into
four sections. each distinct from the
other, and is held together with heavy
bolts. The vessel was SO constructed
for service in Cuba during the war with
Spain. in order that the separate parts
could be loaded on big wagons or on
railroad cars and shipped from point to
point. At the close of the war she was
brought to this city and assigned to duty
as tender to the engineer battalion at
Washington barracks. and in this service
she has been employed for ten years or
longer. The work on the vessel will be
completed and she will be ready for
launching the latter part of this week

Wins WAY TO HEARTS
Of HIS NEW FRIENDS
Baby Boy Left on Steps at Mr..
and Mrs. Broadbent's
Home.

II the parents Of the small baby boy
who was left on the steps OF 2136 H
street northwest last night, about 1880
o'clock, change their minds about want
ing the youngster. and decide they would
like to have him back. they probably will
experience greater difficulty than they
did in getting rid of him. Mr.. and Mrs.
w ]. Broadbent. who live at the address
given, were greatly pleased when they
found the little one bundled up at the
door of their home, and almost immedi-
ately decided to keep him. If possible. as
a Christmas present.
The YOUNGSTERS given name-if ne has
one-is unknown. No note was amended
to the little founding to tell anything
at the sun and murmur, GOO, co.," al

Probably Five Months Old.
The age Of the boy is judged to be
about FIVE months. He was we'll protected
from the cold hwen in answer to the bell
the Broadbents went downstairs last
night. Beside him was bundle OF nice
clothing and a bottle of milk.
That he is just as pleased with his lot
as his newly-adopted parents are seems
apparent from the fact that he hasn't
cried since he was discovered, but other
wise ne is a very real. live baby with
dark hair and eyes and a rather in
quisitive manner
So bright is he, indeed, that his new
friends are predicting great future for
him. When a reporter from The Star
went in for an interview today baby abb
solutely refused to say anything but
stuck out his tongue. and then laughed.

Mrs Broadbent said today she would
do her best to keep Baby IL the authori-
ties would let her. There are no chill
dren in the family. Mrs. Broadbent said
the youngsters birthday should be cele-
brated on the anniversary of the day he
arrived and that she would hunt up a
suitable name as well as more substan-
tial Occouterments.
In the meantime there's another side
an unseen, unwritten side-to this little
story that fortunately seems to have
ended SO happily for the waif. Some
where out there in the large world there's
q mother who has parted from her baby.
Two questions. Why? and Does she care?
