School Committee to Consider Petition to Have OrcuttviIIe School Moved Nearer ViIIage-E. H. Denham Seri- ousIv TIL

The town school committee held Q meeting at the library Monday eve ming, all members of the committee ex- cepting MT. Glazier. who has been i'll for several months. being present. A petition signed by several residents of Orcuttville was presented requesting that the OrcuttVille schoolhouSe be moved nearer the village The school house is about a mile above the will lage and it would be much more con- venient for the pupils If the building were moved. It is doubtful however if it would be wise to attempt to move the old building It is in bad condi- ton and if a schoolhouse is to be To- cated in the village, many think that a new building should be erected. The matter was referred to the building committee, who will meet with the se- lectmen a little later and decide upon which plan, if either, will be adopted.

JUNIOR WINTER cHAuTAuouA.
Interesting Meeting of Children Led by
 Miss Dorothy Powell.

More than 130 children attended the meeting of the Junior Winter Chautau- qua league and the program proved unusually interesting. The meeting was led by Miss Dorothy Powell of Swarthmore, Pa. The meeting opened with singing. One of the features was story, Epinandas, told by Miss Pow ell.
 The general topic for the meeting was the Creed of a HealthvilIe Citi- zen. Under this topic children discus sed features of it as follows: I Believe in a Healthy Body, Miss Bertha Child; l Believe in Clean Streets. Dorothy Bone; Believe in Clean Buildings, FL liott Dean; I Believe in 'No FIies' and No Mosquitoes. Mildred Lucey; Be- lfeve in Flowers and Trees, Edward Bowe; I Believe in Beautiful Buildings, Bertha Child; I Believe in the Town Beautiful, Catherine Thayer.
 In presenting her subject Miss Thay- CT said:
 There are many things that the Junior citizens can do for the Town Beautiful. The first is to plant trees on Arbor day, and also we may gather ferns in the woods and plant them around the school buildings
 We know that the government distri- butes large quantities of seeds each spring. These packages of seeds are sent through the mails and each post office is unable to deliver many of these packages because the parties to whom they are addressed are non- residents. Such packages of seeds may be obtain ed by calling at the posronice and used to plant flower gardens in our towns or in public parks in the city,
 "A third way in which the Juniors can help make a town beautiful is by placing all refuse in collection cans on the streets and also by furnghing more cans for the public to use in de- posting waste matter

A Christmas Verse.

THRISTMAS is in the numbering
street and I'M the country
lane,
The heart of Christmas beats once more
on mountain, hall and plain.
Wherever loUe's a0hite morning shines
the ancient spirit a0dkeS,
And oUer all the aOedry aOorld the gold
en- aUonder breaks.
Within a0idoa0's lonely heart 1 sdao
its glory fame
Upon young childS laughing Ups ats
Jubildte came,
And one 1UhO had been blind with grief
looked up and SGaC the light
As one looks up aOhen the calm moon
sails doa0n the velvet night.
For Christmas, like the moonlight,
spread her rapture everywhere;
She was like heGven Overhead, like the
clean crystal air.
We drank her spirit and her heart, eOe
bredthed her Uery soul,
For mo and doaOn the aOorld she aOefst,
from pole to distant pole!
