The Board of Education is offering
inducements to more country school
districts to come in and enjoy the adj
vantages of the Sank Centre public
schools. Under the amended school
laws of 1913, the $3.50 per month per
pupil tuition which the district has
heretofore been duly authorized to
charge, is eliminated. This, it is
thought, will be an attraction to
those living in the country and de-
string to attend the schools of this
city. This association with the city
school does not mean the closing of
the country school thus associating.

 Daring to lead where others followed, For bravery he gained the prize. Even his townsmen all allowed He won his laurels before their eyes. For from its den he dragged the wolf, Which long had terrorized the town While all his neighbors stood aloof With fear, his courage won the
 crown.
 During the French and Indian war He fought with Washington, the
 brave,
 Till, like his comrade, near and far His fame had gone like an ocean E
 wave.
 When true men fell at Lexington, It stirred his patriotic heart. He, too, would gladly wear the crown Of martyrdom to take their part. He left his plough, and on his horse, He flew to Boston in one day, Yet for this ride he was no worse, His heart was hot to join the fray. The British tried to bribe him now With gold and army office high, But with deep scorn upon his brow He cried, "For freedom l can die.n Among the bravest of the brave, He fought at Bunker Hill. Our country's liberty he'd save, With all his courage and his skill. Thus on and on he led the way, Until his strong and stalwart frame Was pnralyzed meath wars fierce fray But he had gained undying fame. Oh, town of Putnam, well you may Re justly proud of your namesAke. God grant Nouf children of today, Shall of his character partake. Then will your city ever grow
 In beauty and rfpsperily, And prove success, both then and now, Is based on tfuth and chaTity.
