Wanted Apparatus
All the pupils of the M. H. S.,
have expressed enthusiam over
the possibility of getting appara
tus for our school ground, and
we give below a few of their
sentiments selected from a num
ber handed in on short notice :
“We want to make school at
tractive. This can be done by
having different kinds of amuse
ments for the boys and girls.
There is almost nothing to amuse
the chileren—a few of old planks
scattered around and not enough
sticks for two boys to play stick
horse.
Other schools have slides,
swings, and many other different
kinds of things for amusement
Why can't M. HS.?
It would make school a pleas
ure rather than a drag.”
Freida Williams, 9th Grade.
Even the muse glides into the
appeal of one:
“Poor little children—
No place to play
On the school ground—
Fight every day.
If they had wheels
On which to wheel,
It would simply be a si-'
How quickly the A(\ *s
Would forget Vw\
"They v; W ...
trapeze,
On which to exercise,
So they wouldn’t freeze.
With slide or see-saw
They would be very elated,
And you would be happy to see
What fun you had created.”
Hazel Roberts, 9th Grade.
Can you not just feel this ap
peal :
Listen; 0 o u r fathers and
°ur friends ! Give ear unto our
voices, for are we not your great
est treasure on earth ? Give us
your abundance wherewithal we
may build that which shall make
us grow up even unto strong
Manhood and womanhood. Help
us to get—our apparatus! ”

DOES THIS HELP ?
( Apology To C. T. Davis.)
A man came
By the school house "
Yesterday. He
Was just an
Ordinary-looking
Man, too, but
While he was
Passing he noticed
A large number of
The smaller children
Rushing out to
Climb upon
The fence to see
Him go by. He
Wondered if
His trousers, or
Something, didn’t
Need mending
Somewhere,
But—
We wish to relieve
His mind, so
We take this
Means of telling
Him that the
Poor children
Have nothing
Else to play.
