The lanes are green; the skies. bedight
With puffs OF fleecy cl0nds, are
bright;
All else. asleep--you'd almost guess
In deep midsummer deafness.
But an, the twinkling poplar spray
A little breeze has found its way
Under the beach and cherry tree
Penetrating busils
Muttering an 1t passed the dell
TO every fern: Awake, FAREWELL"
They stir, they flutter. shift and search
Like maiden DANES that doze in
church;
Fan themselves and blink again,
While the parson drones, Amen;
Then the summary sleep descends
HALFWAY before the sermon ends.
Another gust: the gossip leaves.
Reused BY the rustic of the sheaves
In neighbor corn-fields, catch the news
And watt each other fond adieu
Oh, joyous scene is then
Acted In every little glen:
For the branches toss their tresses
In good-byes that are caresses.-
Farewell sisters, we have known
Secrets to the world unshown,
Friendships, follies all our own:
All day long such merry meetings.
With our eager whispered greetings.
Sober talks. amusing chatter,
Scandal sweet. and idle patter
On some dear delicious matter:
Starry nights when we have stood
Bathed in a beatitude
BY the still, celestial mirth
or the silent midnight earth;
Fleeing dreamlands when the moon
Swan like a dolphin in a swoon
Ger the mist-encamberec meadows
Chasing the affrighted shadows,
And the daylight came too soon.
We have lived and counted gain
Shower and sunshine, mist or rain,
Loved and lived and loved again.
Thus the leaves IN every dell
Rand and nod ana bid farewell

Communication From
 Wrangell School Board
WRANGELL, ALASKA,
 February 23, 1921.

A-1ssof SChahc's
 The Wrangell School Board de- sires to make public letters which they have received from the officials of the U. s. Bureau of Education in response to the Board s statement issued recently stipulating the only conditions under which the Native children would be admitted to the white school, and asking that the. Bu- reau to reconsider its decision to close the Government school.
 The question Who started this thing, any way ?' is not in- appropriate here inasmuch as the letters would seem to indicate that the Wrangell Board has mis- understood the situation. AS matter of fact, the informal con- versations between MT. Hawkes. worth and members of the board, referred to in one the letters, were not considered an official notification of the plans of the Bureau, and it was not until the interview given by Mir. Hawkes. worth to the Juneau Empire ap- peared in print that the Wrangell Board took the matter seriously. | The Parent-T Teachers associations of both Douglas and Juneau entered their protests against the closing of the Government schools | before the Wrangell Parent Teachers association passed their resolutions endorsing the stand taken by the board. The letters indicate that the Native school will not be closed, | and the school board has been advised that conference will be held in the near future between Governor Riggs. Territorial Con- missioner of Education, L. D. Henderson, and MT. Lopp at which the school situation will be discussed fully. The communications received follow:

 Wrangell, Alaska.
 DEAR MRS. JOHNSON
 Your letter of the 5th reached me here at Bayview last night. You state that as result of the unani- nous action of the Wrangell School Board, some thirty Native children will be left without any provision for an education if the Government school is closed, and you request the Bureau of Education to recon- sider its plan to close the Wran- gell school.
 Let me say that the Bureau has as yet taken no definite action rf the closing of the Wrangell school. In the talks l had with the mem- bers of the Wrangell School Board at Christmas time ] was expressing my personal views Tn the matter and it is possible that as result of reconsideration, the Native school will be continued. One thing is certain the children must receive an education.
 During the month of January. 1921, as shown by the monthly re- port, there was an average atten- dance of only I7.66 at the Govern ment school. This is a very small number for a town the slze ot Wrangell. The latest Governors report showed there were some 34 children of Native blood in the Wrangell city schools. We should cooperate m educational aims, especially since the need of school funds in Alaska is so great and the available funds so small.
