confront the greater war and

be specially proud of being

ody.
Next followed an address by
Hon. P. B. Carter, the grace anC
beauty of his expression being
only surpassed by the common
sense and valuable suggestions
along school lines.
A short talk was then made
by Rev. Walker, in which the
meager equipment and facilities
CT we old time school, were
strongly and forclbly contrastet
with present day methods ant
advantages.
Mr.. Dunn then read a spIen
did article entitled Depend
able" ard made a very touching
appeal to all patrons and schoo
members to join the Depend
ables" and take the pledge tha'
will make us worth more to th'
school and every other good in
