Acceptance.
The appointment of School
Committeeman for the school
year 1888 is given below. A
few vacancies are yet to be fill
ed. New committeeman should
qualify and notify the county
superintendent of their acceD-
lance. AS soon as the committee
organizes with the election of a
chairman and secretary, whose
selection should be reported to
the county superintendent, they
should proceed to the selection
of a teacher for next year, if this
has not already been done. The
county superintendent can help
the committee very materially in
the selection of a teacher as he
has many good applications on
file in his office. No teacher
should be elected who does not
hold d State certificate. The
election of a teacher should be
reported promptly to this office,
and the teachers contract sent
for approval. A copy of the
Public School Law OF 1917 will
be sent upon request to any COM
mitteeman or teacher.

The sumInonlng Of the inhabitants TO
supply vehicles and perform works has
also been stignatlzed as an unlusti0able
compulsion upon the inhabitants to
participate In military operations.
But IL is clear that an officer can never
allow such a far-reaching extension Of
this conception. The argument
OF war must decide.
Therefore the conduct Of the German
civil commissioner, Count Renard-so
STRONGLY condemned by iur-
lists with French sympathies-who in
order to compel labor for the necessary
repair Of bridge, Threatened TO
punish the workers by shooting some
OF them, was in accordance with the

DID YOU EVERi
BY NJ. c. ROBBINS

Did you ever see a sunbeam
Flash It's light upon your wayf
Did you ever realize God sent Il
Just TO cheer a lonely day?
Did you ever want TO grasp u
Hold II closely TO your heart,
Calling Il your consolation.
It had done so good a part.
Did you ever watch a rosebud.
AS you held It in your hand,
Open out its pretty petals,
Giving you TO understand
II was a messenger from heaven,
With its beauty and its bloom,
Teaching you 10 scatter darkness,
Teaching you TO scatter gloomY
Did you ever watch a snowflakef
They're so beautiful and pure,
When hold my hand and catch themi
Then | find they're not secure,
For they melt away so quickly
And / look and find them gone,
SO I'm taught all things are transient,
Like the refrain Of song.
Did YOU ever see a ralndrop
Fail upon the path you trod
In its crystalizing beauty,
Speaking to you OF Its God.
Yes-it came to cheer the flowers,
To perform their mission sweet
That's Just what it came 10 teach YOU
As II fell right at your feet
So let's scatter little kind acts,
All around us while we live,
We can do lifts not costly,
Though we haven't much TO give.
For kind words they are immortal,
They can never never die,
They will live beyond our lifework,
Blown perennial up on high.

Did the War Really Cost in Dollars and Lives?

ten days the British dead pass in review
For eleven days more the French dead
file down the Avenue of the Allies. Three
weeks of marching dead men,
The Russians who died fighting for their
empire that was would require the daylight
hours of five weeks more. And for the
other brave Allied fighting men we must
reserve fortnight. Two months and
half for the Allied dead to march past o
given point.
The enemy dead, although definite figures
are not available, number about $4,000
For them to pass in review would require
more than six weeks.
Throughout all the daylight hours of
June, July, August and September, then,
the CHASTITY procession would continue 1t
is an appalling picture to contemplate
AS preliminary punishment for the fugi-
tive Kaiser, for whom so many horrible
fates have been suggested, there may be
torture available here. For him to stand
at attention throughout four hot summer
months, while the ghosts of those he sent
to death pass in constant review-surely,
that might inflict mental agony enough to
appease the most vindctive.
And yet the world can never adequately
reckon the losses preciptated by him and
his autocratic associates For years after
the treaty of peace is signed statistcians
will be calculating the cost of the World
War.
Historians will finally agree that $22l,
100000, ,000-or some such tigure-was spent
