LITTLE FEET.


We have to buy such scads and scadS
OF sandals and OF shoes,
Z A pair apiece bout every month;
But We don't have the blues
About not saving long that line
We even offer praise
That little feet are ours to shoe
A dancing long their ways.
Go frolfc on your happy way
And keep on growing strong,
But do not fit too swiftly, dears,
For oh, twill not be long
That we may hold and cherish thus
Our little frolic folk;
And thankfully and gladly
We share our dual yoke.
And If your feet may only stay
Upon the upward road
Wen say no word about the weight
or this dear. cherished load:
So. kiddies, dance. but keep your feet
From trampling on our hearts
And dad and ma VIII gladly do
Most cheerfully their parts.

The result of the recent elections is
significant. The signs of the times
portend to republican success next
year and in such volume that it will
be termed landslide. The voters are
becoming weary of the kind of admin
istration furnished the past few years.
Republican rule and prosperity. real
foreign policy and improved rural mail
service, and a protective tariff are a
few Of the changes desired

Fire Drills in Schools.

In the bulletin issued by the state
fire marshals Office for use in the pub
lie schools the following suggestions
for fire drills in schools are made:
Require the pupils to pass into

manner at all times. It is assumed
that this is insisted upon in all of our
praded schools. II 1t is not it should
be-
Each teacher should first practice
with her pupils to see how quickly
they could leave the room in an or

may march to music if there is an in.

main points are first, order; next
rapidity.

most orderly and quickest way OF

she should then be ready to act in har-

The teachers in charge of the

given directions to go to the nearest
exit.
Those occupying rooms on the sec

seconds later those on the first floor
have started, and by the time they
reach the last landing of the stairway
to the first floor the first floor should

those students bride the faculties of
such institutions to gain entrance?
Was the standard OF requirements
lowered so as to enable them TO enroll?
Do those institutions care more for a
big enrolment than for ability to mas
ter the studies required to be under
taken? Granting that High School
diploma is sufficient TO gain entrance,
does anyone think that the professors
1 in our western colleges and UNIVERSE
ties are too obtuse to learn that the
student has not mental capacity
enough to earn High School diploma?
How long would such person be al
lowed to remain? Apart from working
serious injury to the student, our
High School could not afford to be
guilty of such acts, for II would soon
be known to every college and univer-
sity in this country "A Reader sug-
gests that there should be some high
err authority over the different High
Schools. The local High School is on

lowed II the school is TO enjoy the dis
tinction of being accredited. This dis
tinction is enjoyed by comparatively
few High Schools, and means that
