Rippling Rhymes
LIVING IN HOPE.
BY WALT MASON


l nope 10 live to see the day when all the
swords are put away and all the guns are
pawned: such blissful hopes and dreams are
mine, as deftly | put down In brine my
second series bond hope TO wake some
smiling morn and see the soldiers plowin2
corn or hoeing navy beans, TO see those sail-
ors cease TO slay whom We beheld the other
day conducting submarines. When once |
see the dove Of peace cavorting o er US, slick
as grease IN lsy aside my Tyre and say,
Since / have lived TO see the shadow OF
that horror flee. I'm ready TO expire I'm
old and have tobacco heart and aches and
pains in every part and dandrun in my
hair; and am weary Of the strife, and FOR
long lOnr lease Of life | truly would not
care But / would hate 90 Quit before they
eng the carnival Of gore, the reign Of qua
and sword / want 70 hang around until
they We tied can 10 Kaiser Bill, and peace
has been restored. And on that bright ami
fateful day / hope to chant one ringing lay
one grand triumphant ode: then II you wish,
il soak my Tyre, and throw my oak leaves
in the fire, and hit the boneyard road.

UNPOPULAR SUGGESTION.

The name of Doctor Claxton, fed
eral commissioner of education, will
be wiped off the slate by students. who
do not realize fully the value OF the
free school system.
The doctor, In recent article in
the National Municipal Review. says:
I'm most cities the high school year
should be made to consist OF four
terms OF twelve weeks each" He
strongly advocates the idea Of making
vacation shorter and n closer appli-
cation TO the serious business of be-
Ing made fitto grapple with the prob
lens OF life.
While We can easily anticipate the
opinion Of most high school students
regarding the doctors plan. yet IL
these same students had elected to
leave school after having completed
the grades they would have adjusted
thmselves 20 the demands Of some
occupation without murmuring. and
this occupation would not have given
them. in the majority Of cases, more
than one week Of vacation and would
have entailed longer hours than they
worked as students.
While It Is manifestly possible to
do the student injustice by too close
application 10 his studies. yet II is
also possible that a too long vacation
makes the students progress much
slower. The suggestion is worthy of
some consideration, both by those in
charge Of the schools and the students
as well.

give an illustrated lecture on can

Christian church Tuesday night,
April 10. The following comment is
made concerning this work in the
Oregon Journal:
"The lecture is very unique In that
1t appeals to both old and young.
The old are charmed by the beautiful
poetic language, for the speaker
keeps the audience in a yeritable
paradise of flowers from the begin
ming to the end, and the children are
captivated by the attractive pictures
illustrating the lecture. One boy OF
eight years pronounced 1t as good as
a moving picture show which should
flatter the speaker when he realizes
what that meant to the boy"
No admittance will be charged, but
an offering taken. Everyone cor
daily invited.
