have children in the old frame
building, or whose friends or
neighbors have children there,
ask the children or teachers,
how they feel in that old shack
daring a storm; or better still if
opportunity presents, go to the
old building and see for yourself
bow insecure it is. There is wot
a man in town who will say that
he is willing to jeopordize the
safety of a single child for all
the building will cost, yet that
is what your opposition will
indicate.
the building must not be used
for school purposes again. If
you were a member of the school
board under such conditions
would you not ask for the money
with which to build new build-
ings.

1910 of

Some people have the idea
that if a new high school buil-
ding is erected, that it is to be
used exclusively for high school
purposes. Such is erroneous,
as the board contemplate a
building that will have 12 to 15
rooms, a majority of which will
be used for the grades. Let us
be fair, and find out just what
we propose to oppose, before we
condemn.
There are trees in the Mc-
Clellan park that could not be
grown in 50 years and if grown
and cultivated by man, would
lack the symmetry and beauty
of the natural park tree. The
McClellan park will be a thing
of enjoyment, not only for this
day and generation, but for
years to come. Dont miss the
opportunity to acquire that
park at the price of farm land.
Fifteen thousand dollars will
buy the park, the fair grounds
and improvements aud leave
some money for additional im*

Shall the Windows he Closed
There has of late years been much
agitation of Sunday closing of all
lines of business not absolutely nec-
essary to preserve life, and many peti-
tions have reached the postoffice de-
partment requesting its closing. The
department is now considering the
plan of closing the carrier windows,
and confining all delivery of mail on
Sunday to the general delivery win-
dow. All mail from the carriers case
hunted out and delivered by the de-
livery window clerk to bear a spe-
cial delivery stamp, or in other words
if you who are supplied by the car-
rier, would want your mail on Sun-
day badly enough to go to the general
delivery window and wait un-
til he had found your mail and
wait until he found your mail and
then pay 10 cents for delivery you
could get it. The object would be
to keep patrons from calling for any-
thing but urgent mail. If you want
the delivery of mail from the win-
dows on Sunday by the carriers dis-
continued, notify Postmaster Randall,
and also notify him if you do not
want it. He is desirous of obtaining
the views of the patrons on the ques-
tion. so that he can make his report
to the department as soon as possi-
ble.
Humanity Is not dead after all. Ox-
ford sticks to Greek. It is a great vic-
tory for the Hellenists, for it was con-
gregation and not convocation which
declined to make Greek optional for
all. No one can say that the country
parsons did it, or that expert opinion,
all those who are actively concerned
in running the university, were in fa-
vor of the change and overborne by
outside reaction brought up for the
purpose. Greek must have equal
rights with Latin. The ordinary un-
dergraduate should be made to know-
something of both and if he Is to be
allowed to do with only one, Greek
must have as good a chance of being
taken as Latin. This, as Prof. Gilbert
Murray says, will save Greek at the
public schools. For the specialist, the
mathematical or science man, we have
always been willing to let him off
Greek: though in our judgment it will
generally be better for him if he la
not let off.—Saturday Review.
A
Her Declaration.
"Have you anything to declare,"
asked the cuatoms inspector. "Yea,"
replied the lady who was returning
from Europe. "I unhesitatingly de-
clare that it is an outrage the way
this government permits things to be
mussed up in one’s trunk.”
