Not seeing the Jack in the Box on

Uncle Wiggily. The paws of the
Fox touched the cover of the box
which popped open with a spring.
Out jumped the ugly Jack, grin

Jumping Fox clinging to Uncle
Wiggily's back!
"Oh! OH" yelled the surprised

ly friendliness. They identified them
selves with the Methodist Church of
Vashon.
In 1915 Mr.. and Mrs Collins left the
Island and spent number of years
visiting among their children, but
in 1924 they again took up their res
idence at Vashon.

vived by seven children, Mrs Effie

The program which pertained to
health, was very interesting one wits
two speakers. DR.. Grandy OF Burton,

many interesting health facts which
should help the students.
After the program, a short student
body meeting was held, with the presi-

Of course will not begin to pay for
the expense Of instruction, and 1t
would be necessary here, as else
where to charge a small fee. The
likelihood of volunteer instructors
giving their service has been adj
vanced, but this would seem at all
practical, for If one is sufficiently
In earnest to go to the trouble to
attend such school he would want
returns for his time and money,
and a teacher, like a workman, is
worthy Of his price,, Gratis in
struction should not be necessary
on Vashon Island, for the very
spirit Of our public schools should
keep them above the stigma of
charity.
Let us give this subject OF q

alton so that the committee may
have some tangible working basis
upon which to proceed. They are
working without any selfish mo-
tive whatever, and have nothing
to gain or lose, but they are
anxious to have the taxpayers, and
other residents Of the Island give
the matter sufficient thought, and
if there are those who would en-
roll If worthwhile. substantial

appreciate hearing from them.
