Have you got your papers tor your home work?' IL goes that way in my home.
 Children Must Help
 Then there are the pupils them selves. Unless these boys and girls had performed the tasks the teachers gave them to do they would not be here today,
 Here and there in the audience l see those whose hair is white with the snows of many winters, citizens of yesterday, and others who are in and in the gallery at my left and right and on the platform the boys and sirls,-citizens of tomorrow, citizens of yesterday and citizens of today. You and l will pass ere long beyond the bourne of time and place and these boys and girls will then be the citizens of the today which is only a little ways ahead of us. Yesterday as 1t were. Frank Osborne, a faithful, conscientious and efficient member of our committee sat with us. Amidst the joys of these exercises we mourn his loss, for he was interested in the citizens of tomorrow.
 These boys and girls of Plainville are the greatest asset we have, and 1t is for the citizens of yesterday and the citizens of today to do our best in every way that we can that these citi- zens of tomorrow may receive the best that we can possible give them.
 Need More Room.
 We have problem in our Plainville schools, serious problems, before us. The town has increased in population. The largest class in the history of the school is before us, and the classes will continue to increase in size. Our school houses are crowded to the doors We hope to be able to take care of all the children for next year, we can possibly house them in our school longer is a problem. Doubtless we must have more room. More boys and girls in greater num- Der year after year are knocking at the portals of our schools for admit tance. We would not refuse them. The people of Plainville have to make plans for them. We are changing d bit with our course of study to meet modern conditions. All around us the business world is changing.
