A Dream.

And l awoke, pondered long and
said to myself, "Why Not %
Sometimes our dreams lead ms
back to home scenes Sometimes
they lead US far, to strange or familiar
scenes, perhaps to view distorted
facts or fond ideals.
Where I recall a snow covered
marsh, just south of the Orleans
school house, / saw a well planned and
fully equipped school playground.
The small brook which has for wears
helped to make this land wet, was
directed directly to the sewer, instead
of through this land and finally to the
same sewer. Drain pipes were so
placed as to carry away the water
from other springs
The village dump was carried there
instead of over the hill. This became
unsightly and was covered with coal
ashes and dirt which was carried from
the streets, and thus the fill began
to grow. Likewise the idea also be-
gan to grow. A bee was organized.
Teams and willing hands responded
to the call. In one week the result
was so gratifying the public spirited
citizens caught the vision, rallied to
the cause, joined hands with the
Village Improvement society and uni

tedly asked the village to match their
contributions to push the scheme over
the top; and a project was consumated
which made our school grounds an
ideal place of recreation for all stu
dents and a source of pride to the vii
lage.
The Red Cross came to the rescue
with modern playground equipment.
Basket ball grounds, tennis courts
and a full sized baseball diamond fol-
lowed.
Athletic teams will be developed
which shall be joy to the student
body, and a source of satisfaction to
the village.
These all tend to the development
of a loyal school spirit and a civic
pride which are invaluable assets in
any community.
Oh! 1 forgot. This was only a
dream. Again I pondered and again
said, ~Why Not ?"

School improvements Since Septem
Der 1919.

A number of small improvements
have taken place in our school since
September. These have added to the
comfort of teacher and pupil alike. 1t
Is to be regretted that not more par
ents visit the school to see what is
needed as well as to see the progress
of the pupils.
The office has been changed from a
store room in appearance to a rather
comfortable place A plant or two,
a good looking bulletin board, and
some fine pictures adorn it so that
anyone waiting for the busy prin-
cipal has something more than his
thoughts for company.
New teachers desks have been put
in grade rooms two and four and
pencil sharpeners in the rooms lacking
them.
Burlap artistically arranged by our
genial caretaker has been added to
all the rooms for the better displr-- IF
the pupils work. A series of hath
charts is being circulated through
out the school.
A few fine pictures have been added
by the efforts of the high school pupils.
A bulletin board has been placed in
the main hall where all may read any
news of interest or Importance.
Perhaps the greatest addition to
our school force is the district or
school nurse.
There is still room for improve
ment; if you don't believe it come and
see.

Bears on Trail.
| Ranger Refused
Permit to Flee

What do you think Of having to
telephone for permission to run from
. nock Of bears - and then having
your more or less paipitating pro.
posal turned down?
That Is what happened to J. w.
Hodge. q IRE guard in the Shenan-
doah national forest, few days ago,
according to an announcement by
the Department of Agriculture.
This particular morning when
Hodge went to the lookout tower on
Hankey mountain top, he, failed to
attach his gun to his person.
What he saw made him wish. for
an airplane. Three bears were
browsing around only a little dis
tance from his lookout tower and
he did not know how soon they
might become hungry. There being
no airplane at hand, he decided to
use his legs,
Then he remembered he could not
leave his post without permission,
so he called up District Ranger
Shanklin. laid the case before him.
and requested Permission to go for
his gun. He was promptly told that
the thing was impossible. The for
ests were dry, and fire might start
anywhere at any time. Being a per-
fectly good forest guard. he stayed.
Fortunately another lookout hap
pened to listen in on the telephone
conversation and succeeded in send
ing help to Hodge.
