12 THE SPY faculties of his. Better than his slow mind blossom late in life and .retain its fragrant bloom than that a premature success leads to blighting blast. Have you a dull boy? Don't discourage him. He may possess in- genuity, tenacity, endurance, possible traits of character more to be prized than all the learning of the ages. He is all right but he is not in need 'of sympathy. A. M. N. GO TO COLLEGE. Every walk of life demands college bred 1nen and women as never before. Liberal education means not only intel- ligent and concerted action, but high stand- ards of living. Man is a machine and every part of the machine must be properly adjusted and oiled with the lubrication philosophy, science, history and literature. The world demands the four-square man. A ,cultured man is worth more from a pecuniary standpoint. An educated man is a citizen and a student of his country and the world. An uncultured man is conhned to a very small circle.

You kn-ow it ex- pired on january lf' Yes, said the defendant, and so did the dog. A colored revival was in full blast, and one old fellow was -exhorting the people to contribute generously. 4'Look what de Lawd's done fo' you-all, brethren! he shouted. Give Him a por- tion of all you has. Give Him a tenth. A tenth belongs to de Lawd! Ameni yelled a perspiring member of the congregation, overcome by emotion. i'Glory to de Lawd! Give Him mo.

The scissors are cutting up, and the paper weight is trying to hold them down. while the mucilage is sticking around to see the stamps get a good licking. The ink's well but appears to be blue. while bill is stuck in the file, and the calendar ex- pects to get a month off. The blotter has been taking it all in.

14 THE SPY SPY BOARD VV e have labored unwearyingly to present to you a creditable school paper. Vlle have been highly commended on all sides including the State Education Depart- ment and it has been our aim to keep the paper the best of any school of its' size in the state. Though we have had many hearty sup- porters yet We ought to have had more. We think it is the duty of every friend and patron of the school to place his name on our subscription list, not only on ac- count of the merits of the paper, but also that he may manifest his interest in the school it represents. This issue closes the second volume of the Spy and as we lay down our scis- sors and pen, We wish to express our gratitude for the many kind Words of en- couragement vve have receivedg we know that our feeble efforts have generally been appreciated. To the Pioneer Press, to all of our ad- vertisers and contributors we express our sincere thanks. Vtfe wish the f'Spy success.
