blatant mouth of Jones and his

The next regular meeting of
the P. T. A. will be held as usual
in the library of the high school
building. An interesting pro-
gram has been arranged for in
eluding a talk from Dr. Elliott
on Necessary pleasures to Guard
Against Disease; A talk on Why
the P. T. A.: and some entertain-
ing features from one or two of
the grades. It was hoped at this
meeting to have a paper on The
Attitude of the Teacher toward
the T. A. but as it will be ex-

too busy to prepare anything
along this line.
hurt us to learn that, perhaps,
the many graves have been kept
clean at the expense and by the
efforts of this few, and that our
own friend's grave, perhaps, is
being kefSt green by some strang-
er's unselfishness.
The expense attached to the
upkeep of this oerrietery is pro-
vided for by yearly dues, two
dollars at the present time,—lit-
tle enough, it would seem—and
a Cemetery Association is main-
tained to take care of the finan-
cial necessities.
The disinterested visitor at the
local cemetery may well be sur-
prised and is impressed by the
evidence of orderly, conscientious
attention that is noticeable every
where; for the lanes and lawns
are clean and smooth, the grave-
spots trimmed and level, shrubs,
trees and flowers show that kind-
ly attention has been accorded
them; fences and gates are kept
in r-opair, there is not a leaning
head-stone in the enclosure, and
that sad, small-spot, the "Pot-
ter's Field" Is attended like the
rest.
REMEMBRANCE.
There may be long, long miles between
my love and me;
There may be years untold, and sor-
rows cruel and deep;
But 16ve can find a way for me to see
That Peace broods o'er her sweet and
ceaseless sleep.
