the kindergarten, which was organized
here by Miss Bertha Rhodes in 1901,
which now has an average attendance
of 25 children, who range in age from
3 to 6 years.
The Mems Glee club of this city
aided greatly in making the program
interesting. Their excellent rendition
of "Mcn of Harlech" brought much
applause and before they returned to
their seats they sang "Stars of the
Summer Might This song impressed
the audience very favorably and the
club responded to an encore with "a
Stein Song.' The club was organized
in 1912 and has membership of about
20. Miss Maude Girault Smalley, the
able director, is given credit for the
excellent showing of the club.
G. Gordon, president of the board
of education, gave an address on the
history of the new high school. He
reviewed the conditions which have
made the erection of the new building
necessary. The increase in attendance
has been due, to a large extent, to
the addition Of the manual training,
a agricultural and domestic science de-
partments in the schools.
Manual training was first introduced
in the Lincoln school on the west side.
1T was found to be success and the
:result was that the students of the
high school demanded it. Later
through an act of the state legislature
the schools having an agricultural, do
nestle science and manual training de-
partment were entitled to $4,000 special
aid for these purposes. This did much
to firmly establish these subjects in
the high school curriculum. Before the
introducing Of these department. in the

grades were housed in rooms in the
business section, with the result that
the citizens made a protest. A num-
Der Of parents meetings were held and
the cry was for a new school building.
Finally a mass meeting was called
to sound the sentiment Of the tax
payers as to the voting Of bonds for

to erect such building at less than
double the cost Of the present build
ing. Mr.. Gordon stated that special
care has been taken in the erection
Of the new high school building to
make it as near fire-proof as possible,
and for this reason the boiler rooms
are separated from the main build
ing by solid concrete wall. All wiz

fire from this cause would be practi'

THE LEX TALONls

This Is the Lex Talonis
 Decreed by Him on high: That he who smites-shall be shit
 ten,
 That he who slays-shan die; That a limb for a limb shall be
 given,
 That an eye shall pay for an eye. This is the Lex Talonis,
 This is the ancient law: To which is the law of the Persian, And the Median plot and straw; And the guilty are sorely troubled, And the innocent stand in awe. Harken, ye tribes and nations, This is the law of the breed: That he who strikes shall be strick-
 en,
 That he who wounds, shall bleed; Let not my words be wasted, But him that hears give heed. This is the Lex Talonis,
 The rigid, the primal law: The source whence those who have
 suffered,
 Their inspiration draw, And measure the retri2utioE, While the wrong is red and raw. Creedists and priests may wrangle, And scoffists doubt or Gisdain; But the truth itself has discovered, Over and over again: The scoffer is kin to the slayer, And the slayer is heir to Cain. This is the law of Talonis, Long as the tides shall flow: Will word for word be given, And blow respond to blow: For iron sharpeneth iron, As it did in the long ago. Grimly it fronts the creature, Written in red jt stands; Linking the past and the present, With strange invisible strands; And wise is he who needs it, And fully understands. Churches and state may wrangle, Laymen and priests dispute; But deep in the heart of the crea-
 ture,
 The sense of right has root; And wrong in its proper season, Will bear it's final fruit. This is the Lex Talonis,
 Hear it who will and may: It was traced at the worlds begin
 ming,
 Unaltered it stands today; For the curse, like the crime is
 cruel,
 And blood for blSod must pay.
