MY TRIBUTE
(Copyrighted)
To be sung to the tune of Maryland,
My Maryland
Within my heart sweet strains hear,
Mother mine, oh Mother mine,
Your accents low and sweet and clear,
Mother mine, oh Mother mine.
The prayers you said, the songs you
sung,
The tales you told when was young
Inspire my life, my heart, my toneue,
Mother mine, oh, Mother mine
The sterner virtues that you taught,
Father mine, oh, Father mine.
The vict'ries won-the battles fought,
Father mine, oh, Father mine.
You courage gave and made me
strong,
To shield the weak, put down the
wrong,
To upward lead the eager throng,
Father mine, oh, Father mine.
When knowledge came with treasure
rare,
Teacher mine, oh, Teacher mine.
You taught me how the boon to share,
Teacher mine, oh, Teacher mine.
You led me on in wisdom's ways,
Thru pleasant paths and tangled
maze,
You cleared the way, dispelled the
haze,
Teacher mine, oh, Teacher mine.
The home, the school, the church
combine,
Mother, Father, Teacher mine,
To touch the soul with life divine,
Mother, Father, Teacher mine. /
Oh grant us this--our hearts desire,
To fill our souls with living fire
Till each shall others lives inspire,
Mother, Father, Teacher mine.

STORY HOUR

At recent Story Hour period, Supr
Hatfield was in charge and told a
group of well chosen stories in a
manner which delighted all hearing
him. Prof. Hatfield is valuable ad-
dition to the roll of the Story Tellers
League, having spent many years in
school work, and knowing the needs
of the boys and girls of Putnam coun-
ty, as no one else knows them.
The three stories told, 'Tattling RaD
bit, The Two Shadows and the Gar
den of Eden" each carried a pointed
lesson to the hearts and minds of ev-
cry eager listener.
At the same hour Prof. Yeargan
was in charge of the primary grades
and told a Grecian story. Prof. Year
gems stories are always OF the very
best, and in Greek history and my
thology he is excelled by none. 1t is
great opportunity these children are
having to hear the best or the worlds
classics, SO early in life and in so
pleasing manner.
Last week Dr. Collie was requested
to repeat Dickens 'Child's Dream of
Star" which he very graciously did.
Bunola Terry, bright pupil, told
a beautiful fairy story in very cnar-
ming manner :
Bro. Karnes told Bible stories to
Primary Grades last week. The child
rem are always pleased with Bro.
Karnes' stories, and are delighted to
have the privilege of hearing him.
