SCHOOL BEGINS
ON MONDAY
Summer Vacaton Is
Over And Another
School Year Is On
Prof. Work, who has been spend
ing the summer on his farm at Oak
Tree, has arrived home and announ
ces the opening of the public sell jols
of Indiana on Monday next. Prof, j
Work.will meet with other members
of the faculty this week.
Oh! Sad the news? Those joyous
vacation days are ever, and school
begins Monday for the fall and win
ter terras. Johnnie, Joe and Tommy
will again have to submit to the pain
ful operation of having their ears
dug out and their faces and necks
►
washed by fond mothers, and they
will have to waste at least five prec
ious minutes, and Annie, Susie and
Maggie will have their hair curled, a
brand new ribbon and the new school
dress will appear.
Where arc the books? Oh, under
the bureau or up in the attic some
where. The darned old books.
Just at this time the youngsters
all think that school is a useless in
f stitution, inaugurated purposely to
keep them out of mischief the major
part of the day, and they feel like
giving it up and going fishing—and
he sometimes does. In after years
they look back over the old years and
find the hated school days were, af
ter all, the happiest in ell their lives.
Who would not welcofne them back
once more?

well chosen words expressed the ad
miration and respect of the entire

of his remarks Mr. Banks presented
him with a beautiful Roman gold
ring. A lion's head surmounts the
ring and the eyes are set in rubies,
and a beautiful diamond shines from
its mouth. Prof. Cogswell respond
ed with a few brief words of thanks,
and ended by telling the l>oyB to
j keep up the band, and showed his
own indomitable 'force by saying,
• Let no obstacle come in your way,
for what forty men say to do. can be
done." The gathering closed with
the singing of Auld Lang Syne.
Prof, and Mrs. Cogswell left Tues
