The year as usual will set up new

education in the city has been to bulld
building and provide teachers and Ia

Youngsters, clamoring for an educa-

been mado since the last session, so
that demands will come more nearly

that every child seeking an education
shall have it, and that the facilities

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

IMMOVABTE
Though Washington may not have
been half as great
AS his ardent biographers claim,
Though he may not as certain
historians state
Be really entitled to fame
Though on his achievements the
critics may frown
They never as yet have succeeded
In proving that BilkIns or Smithers
or Brown
Could have done his job better
than he did.
So why should discussion wax bitter
and hot?
1t is too late to prove what he was,
or was not.
quite so prim
AS his eager admirers declare;
Flirtations perhaps had attractions
for HIM
AS they do for some men here
and there.
But it's somewhat too late, as no
doubt you'll allow
For the keenest historical student
TO recall the two-fisted old Puritan
now
And to make his behavior more
prudent.
He cannot be effaced from Times
dealthless Who's Who
A number of heroes who lived long
ago
May have Jagged. off and on, in
the race
But what does i: matter, as long
as we know
That they'll be mighty hard to
displace"
They firmly are fixed on the ped
estals where
The hurrying centuries set them,
And though they may crumble and
chip here and there
We never are going to forget
them. ~
And though thay are shy of the
real hero-stuff
We THINK they are heroes-and
that is enough!
