are none the wiser. He devoted about
ten minutes TO the European war.

He spoke Of the economic struggle

Hide your bitter pain &c.,. Hush your
tragic cries
Midst matted summer vines and rich
leaved summer boughs
Poor school. when driving blasts and win

Deep and white, a sympathetic breath
shall watt enough of purity through
scented pines,
TO cover Yet again the sadness OF your
mournful lines.
But. poor little school, YOU'RE haDpv
When the children come your way
and, poor little school, you're JOYOUS
When the teacher saves the day
by showing poor little citizens
The Joys that wealth cannot find.
hY heapins hearts with the great, great
lack
That's discovered in human kind.
And when tho flag waves DER Won
Poor little, dear little school,
And the children sing the nation'e SONGS
Hold this as a sacred rule.
Not to freak nor sigh
DO the mountains high
Whose heads are close to God
Hear the promise Of your little songs
And sob?
DO spires. that in the evening ugh,
