There are so very, very many
problems for our solution that 1t

mess now, sincere as citizen groups,
and doing the necessary things TO
get all the good out OF real Amer

mittee in Atlanta is encouraging.
When all the child-play premiere
acts are weeded out and all are
settled down to straightforward
business, things will be dorI'.
To that teacher who wouldn't

Winter leaves the swollen streams and ledges
And where the asters died: -:
The promise of gay blossoms crown the edges

And high up yonder where the buds are weaving
The canvas of the shade
The last way-faring tribe is leaving
Where the gray frost laid.
Verdant Spring brings in the healing blisses
OF life's fragrant balms
And every wound is covered with kisses
Beneath the sheltering arms
That stretch abroad from cypress spruce and maple
Where nestes the feahered band
And every dream is one of wooing April
And earths glory land.

Kay was awakened by Melody
