Living.

OO
Living.
(By Lucy Larcom)
How to make lives worth living?"
The question haunts US every day;
1t colors the first flush of sunrise,
1t deepens the twilight's last ray.
There is nothing that brings us drearier
pain
Than the thought, I'VE have lived, VIC
are living in vain"
We need, each and all, to be needed,
To feel we have something to give
Toward soothing the moan of earth's
And We know that then only we live
When We feed one another, as we have
From that Hand that gives body and
spirit their bread.
Our lives they are we'll worth the living
When we lose our small selves in the
whole.
Throb through US, one heart and one
Eternity bears up each honest endeavor:
The life lost for love is life saved and
forever.

An interesting point has come up in
Bath concerning the legal control a
teacher has over a pupil when out
side the school limits and outside the
| school hours. The case arose from the
| alleged "sassing" of a teacher by a
| pupil, when the teacher corrected the
pupil for an act which the former con-
| sidered improper Most of the Bath
lawyers have looked UP the law and
seem to agree that the pupil is legal
ly under the control Of the teacher
| from the minute the pupil leaves the
| home for school until he or she arriv-
es back at the home from the school.
