The Old School Bell

The old school bell has ceased to
ring
Its tasks are all laid by,
For thirty years or more it swung
Within that bellfry high.
The dear old bell that called us In.
It's rythmn still hear;
AS crowding with the noise and din
We came from far and near.
For, like the Pied Piper of old
II stole the children from their PLAY
AS in the story 30 we're told
Dancing and singing all the way.
IL lead them onward 30 the school
That stood aloft with open door;
They piled themselves to every rule.
And still they sought for more
But. unlike the cave of old
They all returned with might and
main
With the strength of truth made bold /;
To battle with the world again.
And so. for every child we lost
With characters nodded firm and strong
The youth and maid with head high
, tossed
Will seek that which TO them belong.
With purpose that is just and sure
Their bound 10 do their duty we'll;
And sound their ringing tones as pure,
AS did the old school bell.
All. we shalt miss it's swelling notes
Vibrating on the morning air,
For If clocks ran fast or clocks ran
slow
The old school bell was there.
To guide our eager foot steps on
And keep the hope within us strong,
But now tbs dumb, ITS missions Ger
The dear old bell will ring no more.

now but they should also be reminded
of the warning later on 50 that they
viii be ready to refuse the stun offer
ed IL IL is offered TO them. Mr. Rowe
said parents should not permit their
children to sell old rubbers and rags ID
such men as he SPEAKS OF. He thinks
it would be much better 10 burn them
as the price paid is not one-tenth what
the articles are worth.
He further said that good plan
would be for some enterprisinR boy or
Doys of some church society In each
town in the county to collect cast-off
rubbers, and when quantity suffi
cient for shipping purposes is gathered
sell them for cash and at price that
is something near their worth instead
of candy. In case several boys were
interested in the matter the proceeds
could be divided and IL church socie-
~ is the interested party the money
could he used in any way the society
saw fit. This. he believes would be a
much safer plan and the health of the
children would not be injured Mr..
Rowe says il Is always best to lock
the barn door before the horse is stol-
en-. The majority of parents give
very little thought to this matter and
when the children ask for old rubbers
TO sell, the parents are usually the
ones who look the articles up and give
them to the little tots TO dispose OF
and that is the end of the matter so
far as they are concerned. Now that
their attention is called to the matter
they will have no excuse il anything
should happen TO their children from
eating the disease breeding. trashy
candy given by junk dealers in return
for old rubbers, rags and old junk of
any kind.
