\ FRIENDS GREETING.

I'd like TO be the sort of friend that
you have been 20 me.
I'd like 10 be the help that you've
been always glad 10 be;
I'd like TO mean as much 10 you each
minute of the day
As you have meant. Old friend OF
mine. 10 me along the way.
I'd like to do the big things and the
splendid things for you.
To brush the gray from out your
skies and leave them only
blue;
I'd like 10 say the kindly things that
1 so oft have heard.
And feel that could rouse your soul
the way that mine you've
stirred.
I'd like to give YOU back the JOY that
you have given me.
Yet that were wishing you a need
hope will never be;
I'd like to make you feel as rich as
/, who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with
you TO lean upon.
I'm wishing at this Christmastime
that I could but repay
A portion OF the gladness that you've
strewn along my way;
And could / have one wish this year,
only would it be:
I'd like TO be the sort of friend that
you have been 10 me.

CD. Bntton Writes
An Open Letter to
The School Board

Dec. 10, 1916.
To the Honorable Board of Educa-
ton of South Bend. Ind:
The article published in the South
Bend News-Times of Tuesday, Dec.
18th, in which il was insinuated
that the committee from the Coquil-
lard school misrepresented condi-
tons prevailing there, was of con-
siderable interest TO me.
l am a citizen and taxpayer OF
the city of South Bend, and have
one child attending the Coquillard
school. After talking over the article
mentioned above with part of the
committee which called on you, l
do not feel that in justice 10 myself
and to the other taxpayers and
parents of this community, that l
can let your charge that our COM
mittee misrepresented the prevail
ing conditions, pass unchallenged.
AS we understand il, Mr.. Nelson
II. Kyser, a deputy factory inspec-
tor. visited COquillard school on
i y
this school building to be in "ad-
mirable condition" / would like to
suggest that Mr.. Kyser may be very
excellent deputy factory Inspector.
but we parents doubt seriously his
ability of judging what is best for
our children when their health and
their very lives are at stake. Some
one more competent than deputy
factory inspector, it would seem TO
us. should be intrusted with the
welfare of our children.
Would you. gentlemen of the
board be willing TO have a compe-
tent liability Inspector pass on the
conditions of this school building.
II you truly believe 1t 10 be in the
condition which Mr. Kyser report
ed. could you have anything TO fear
from the report of any competent
liability inspector?
We note in the report of Mr..
Kyser as printed in The News
Times that there could be no dan
ger from fire provided warning
was given in time" Did you ever
hear of a fire assuming serious or
fatal proportions when warning
was given in time? Would Mr..
Kyser be willing 10 go on record as
10 Just how many minutes or sec
onds or fractions thereof. would
constitute lin time? II is my opin-
ion and the opinion Of the commit
tee that a hay-stack would not
burn. although IL were soaked with
kerosene and the torch applied. if
the warning were given "in time"
The very fact that Mr.. Kyser states
that fatalities would not result pro-
vided warning war given lin time"
Is an admission on his part, on your
part tfor you accepted his report at
face value) that fatalities in case OF
fire at this school are possibility
If not a probability.
Are we taxpayers and parents of
