I I I THE INSPECTOR The inspector is coming to visit the school, To question the children, to examine each rule, Q Ask the why, and the wherefore, the which, and the how In short he was coming to kick up a row: At least the superintendent said to his wife, That inspector's the plague of my very life. Geographical questions he's sure to let fall, And the children know nothing about it at all. I VVhat on earth shall I do ? Do the best that you can,' Said his wife, The inspector is only a man. I Now don't be afraid, dear, when day draws to night, I know you will tell me that everything's right. The inspector had come, a stern-looking man, 1 YVith a look that said plainly, Now stop me who dan, I'll question them up and I'll question them down. 1 Look here, you child, now answer at once!

THAT DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLASS W'hen our last dish is clean, and our towels are washed and dried When our aprons are dotted and our last sigh is sighed, I-Ye go into the ante room for Mrs. Andrews to present A written lecture, to which we all do deeply resent. The lecture seems to continue for hours and hours, Until our arms just ache, oh, that teacher of ours. She keeps on going faster as she bids us hasten fast, Until the bell begins to ring, and we are free at last. D -Margaret Volay. Three simple Freshmen were walking down the street When a Sophomore they did chance to meet. Salute, said the Sophomore. VVe salute, said the threeg And a Senior passing by said, Hey! Salute for me ! -Eleanor Taborsky. 38
