 That is, of course assuming that he reaches the place where shooting Is go-

The burden of war. falls most heavily on the infantryman, and he has to make much of his progress toward the fighting line on foot.

 There have been sixteen men who have been in attendance for longer or shorter time during the year. Nine were quite regular the early part of the year. Now since the times are less prosperous there have been many changes, and at present only four are regular. July 4th we united with the Hartford school for picnic which was greatly enjoyed.

 Tn conclusion, the new director of religious education gladly gives ex- pression of his admiration for the way in which the acting superintendent, With her many other duties, and her loyal helpers, have maintained the school in spite of the absence of a regular superintendent With such a school and such spirit it is not easy to find great room for improve m ent, but progress is ever the watch | word and by cooperation, by alert l ness and by faithfulness it is hoped | that. even greater advances along the !! lines most necessary will be made the | coming year.
