IF ALL the remarks and observations
Il made by advance visitors to the
February Furniture Sale were boiled
down and compressed, that is what
they would amount to.
That one sentiment, or rather con-
viction, based on evidence that cannot
be gainsaid, seemed to vibrate through
out the furniture floors.
"Wanamaker's has the goods, and
such stock of them"
Of course, this is the usual thing,
the invariable thing at Wanamaker's,
as is generally known, but in this sale
it means more than usual For one
thing it means security, safety for
everybody who has money to invest in
furniture and would like to be abso-
lutely certain of investing it to the
greatest advantage.
Itisa recognized fact that the sale
which is based on quality and which
with the certainty of good quality,
combines the advantages of magnitude
is the best sale for anybody needing
good furniture to come to.
. We know very we'll that you will
read of furniture to be had here, there
and yonder, at "half price, or third

the acid test of quality, character,

that William Penn, on the 10th of Sixth Month,
1883, wrote that philadelphia, the expectation

Thomas Holme, the surveyor general, in his
advertisement for purchasers, says: "The City
of philadelphia now extends from river to river
and in breadth near mile"
On the 26th Of Fifth Month, 1884, a council
of ten men was appointed to draw up charter
for Philadelphia to be made borough with a
mayor and six aldermen.
Philadelphia's first charter as city was
granted William Penn on October Is, 17O1.

P. T. A. Meeting

The regular meeting of parents and teachers occurred on the after noon of November 12, and was well attended.
 A most entertaining program of songs, recitations and folk dances was rendered by pupils of the school under the capable direction of Miss Haggland, after which the members of the association held their regular business meeting, ad. journing at 4:30.
 Every parent in Cordova owes it to himself, his child, the school and the community to become an active member of this organization.
 Get acquainted with your school the school which you pay taxes to support Come and see what your neighbours child is doing and how your child compares with his class mates, both in work and general con- duct.
 A live, energetic Parent-Teacher Association can raise the standard of the community in which it works. We need your presence at our meet ings and your active help. If not now member, plan to join very soon

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE NEEDS
 MANY NURSES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. The United States public Health service needs hundreds of graduate nurses for it's general hospital work but also and particularly for the care of former soldiers suffering from nervous and mental disorders. So great is it's need for the latter class that it is probable that at present enough trained nurses are not avail able in the country The public health service accordingly purposes to establish a training school for nursing in neuro pSychiatric dis eases in it's special hospital (No. 49) on Grays Ferry road, near Phila- relphia, where nurses with general training may take a special course in this class of work. This hospital has a capacity of 24O patients and will afford exceptional 0pportuni- ties for instruction in the most mod ern treatment.
 An appeal is made to nurses to come forward for this work; for if they do not do so there seems to be no one to take their place. The hospitals now operated by the Unit ed States public health service are already 150 nurses short; and the services faces the necessity of open ing several new ones with an made quate force. Applications should be made to the surgeon general, U. S.. public health service, Washington, D. c.

A certain teacher in the tenement district was greatly surprised to see Toms brother so very dark, when he was so fair, so she said, "Why, his eyes are as black as coal" The next morning she received the following: Dear Madam:
 'The children told me yesterday at noon that you made remarks on one of them is just as black as coal if you thing that he is too dark for you to handle him I can send him to another school.
 When that child was born he was just as white as any white people you ever saw, but that child has been fed on matted milk since he was three days old and got the color of the milk. If you would of been fed on the same milk you would be just as black as he is. I am awful sorry that your lady educated and making remarks like that Excuse me by doing that.-Mrs M"

My Patriotic Creed

w believe In my country and her destiny, In the great dream of her founders, In her place among the nations, In her ideals. I believe that her democracy must
 be protected, Her privilege cherished, Her freedom defended. I believe That, humbly before the Almighty, But proudly before all mankind, We must safeguard her standard, The vision of her Washington, The martyrdom of her Lincoln, With the patriotic ardor Of the minutemen And the boys in blue Of her glorious past. I believe In loyalty to my country, Firm, unchanging, absolute. Thou, in whose sight, A thousand years are but as yester
 day And as watch in the night, Help me in my weakness To make real What I believe"

Play

Play is natures method of devel. oping the nervous and muscular me- chanisms that give control of the body. As children advance in age, they turn from the spontaneous friskings and gambolings of all young life, to games of cooperation involving intellectual and social ele- ments. The mere joy of muscular exercise is forgotten in the effort to secure the object of the game. Imitation, emulation, rivalry, the most persuasive human motives are enlisted. But games have moral values quite equal in importance to courtesy, self-control spirit of fair ness are vital in we'll conducted games. Hence the modern school is provided with spacious playground equipped with suitable apparatus; for it is recognized that air, sun light, companionship, and play are essential conditions of growth and development.
 In all ages, rhythmic exercises have appealed to the sons and daugh- ters of men, That these activities are enjoyed is natures testimony that they are normal and whole some, if carried on in moderation and with due regard to the pro- prieties of life. They give smooth ness, grace, harmony to the car riage and movements of the body. For girls they probably the best form of physical training. Felmley, III State Normal university.

The application of the following to school affairs is self evident: "It ain't the guns nor the arma- ments, nor the funds that they can pay,
 But the close cooperation that makes them win the day; It aint the individual nor the army as whole, But the everlastin teamwork of every bloomin soul"

Finally the teacher came to him and seeing his eyes full of tears, said: Well, Johnny, you got it at last, didn't you?" Johnny said, as he brushed away his tears, Yes, but my eyes are sweating"
