THE FEATHER ON HER BONNET

Pouring forth nadrlgals from hedge
and tree;
Kind wardens Of our garden, field and
grove;
For thy sweet tolls what have we rem
dered thee?
Alas mans hand hath thy pure blood
upon 1t,
And thou art slain for sport, for greed
and bonnetl
Dead BIRDS And dead to deck a wo-
mans hair,
TO feed awhile her vanitys poor
breath
Yet she would rule, at whose decree
men tear
A blue birds wing, and hunt a thrush
to DEATH
Nay, woman's justice hath a stain up
on it,
So long as birds are slain to deck heI
bonnet!

God thought it worth his while to make
a bird,
A Joyous creature that could soar and
float,
With sweetest melody man ever heard
Caught in the wondrous meshes Of its
throat,
And this rare thing with Gods own
touch upon It,
Is rended wing from wing to trim a
bonnet
What does 1t cost this garnitur" Of
death?
It costs the life that God alone can
give;
It costs dull silence where was music S
breath;
It costs dead JOY that foolish pride
may live;
And life and joy and song, depend up
Are costly trimmings for a woman's
bonnet.

The Work Done by the Y. M. c. A.
Contributed

A number of people have asked me
on different occasions: "What is the
Y. NJ. c. A. doing" And in connec
tion with this question, have said
that they did not see that it was
doing anything at all. Since quite a
good many people are contributing
toward the support of this institution
and a number of disinterested people
are giving considerable of their tine
and energy toward this work, it
might be we'll to recount for the pub
lie some OF the things which are be-
ing done.
In the first place the Y. NJ c. A.
owns some very valuable property on
West Broadway, upon which there IS
IA loan OF some twenty eight hundred
dollars. The street, which is very
wide in. front of this property, is
paved. There is a cottage on this
property that must be kept in repair,
The interest on this loan, the paving
tax, repairs and incidentals in con-
nection with the building, make it
necessary to raise some four or five
hundred dollars for these items alone.
About two years ago, a secretary Of
the Y. VI. G. A. was employed at a
salary of one hundred and twenty
five dollars n month The drouth
and crop failure of that year made
it impossible for the committee to pay
the salary of this secretary. IN
September the school board came to
the assistance of the committee and
employed the secretary as teacher Of
English in the High School, paying
him ninety dollars a month of his
salary. The work done during the
year l91l-l912 by this combined sec
retary and teacher was so satisfac-
tory that the committee deemed il
wise to have a young man act in
the same capacity again for the year
l9l2-l3 and agreed to pay twenty
five dollars a month toward his sal
Gry.
Now. TO answer the question asked.
What has been accomplished" Your
has kept two model young
men who are teachers in the public
schools, in the Y. NJ. c. A. building. |
They have kept the building open
evenings and Saturdays and it has
been headquarters for the boys 70
meet and loaf" If the boys had not
had this place, they would have been
some other place where the influences
would not have been of the best. /
These young men have been compan-
ons of the boys and as such have
been able TO learn of many of the /.
to which many of the
boys Of the community are subjected
They have been able to learn if boy
s subjected to the temptation OF
listing business houses of the CITY
md taking things that did not belong
o them-what the boys call slick
ag.' They have learned of many
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1913-05-13

other temptations which are unwholc-
some IN the life of any boy and have
cOunselled with the boys in the spirit
of a comrade and not in a preacher
istic' way. BY this means, they
have been able to help the boys in
a way that parents and older people
could not do. They have organized
different athletic games among the
boys i'm the different wards of the
city schools and arranged match
games OF the different schools, there
by arOusing an interest in school
activities among class that could
not have been interested in school
work in any other way. They have
enabled many boy to withstand
temptations to which he is subjected
when away from the parental fireside
they know nothing about.
These are only a few of the things
that the Y. NJ. C. A. is doing and
we as a committee believe that tho
people OF Ardmore are not ready to
say that this influence among the
boys of this community shall be-
withdrawn at this time.
Respectfully, ,
MEMBER OF COMMITTEE.
