"THE PURITAN STRAIN"
The artists and critics may rave as
they will
Of prudishness prim and precise,
They claim that it hampers their art
and their skill
To have to be proper and nice.
But for all of its squeamishness, all
OF its cant, . .
It holds us to decency, plain,
And I'm willing to lift up my voice In
I chant,
A hymn to the Puritan Strain"
1t may be trif1e too rigid and grim
And hard on the spirit of youth,
But it keeps the commandments from
growing too dim
And 1t holds to the right and the
truth.
It's harsh and unyielding in many a
way
That causes but worry and pain,
But a man or a nation won't go far
astray
If controlled by the Puritan Strain"
It's helped us to conquer the country
we own ...
Which stretches from sea unto sea,
It's sobered and tempered us while
we have grown
A nation united and free.
It's graphing undaunted with prob
lens most vast,
With power of hand and of brain;
That grim, granite purpose will save
us at last
Thank God for the Puritan Strain"
Bert Braley.

The most general species 10 the com.

TO be found almost over the entire coun-
try. These are commonly seen in gardens
and about the dooryards after sunset.
Besides the common toad there are many
varieties that are rare. This Il especially
the case with the tree toads, some OF which
are so colored IS to be difficult 70 see. as
they resemble the bark and moss upon

Is hared with bread Gun and a large

depending entirely on the black and
