1 THE IBI4H (1 Qfl 1 I ' M To the Old School Night has fallen over the city — clear night, both above and below, for the dense smoke pall that so frequently hangs heavy over the town, the penalty of manufactur- ing greatness, has been swept aside by a kindly wind. Only once in a while, when the faint starlight is lost in the glare of a flaming tongue of fire shooting into the night from the cupola of some factory and falling back in a vast shower of sparks, is one reminded of the great workshops that make the city’s name known wher- ever man ploughs and sows and reaps. The observer standing on the edge of the bluff sees, stretching away at his feet, long lines of lights twinkling among the dark masses of the trees. Beyond, he sees a faint silvery streak — the river, broken by a black line — the island; and, farther still, the lights in the hills of Iowa. As often before, so now the observer stands and muses over the beauty of the city by night. “It is always beautiful,” says a quiet voice behind him. The observer whirls around. There is nobody there, only the old school, outlined clearly against the starry sky, its windows gleaming faintly in the lights of the city at its feet. “It is always beautiful,” the quiet voice goes on. “I, who have stood here for twenty years, know that.” Twenty years. Ah, now the listener knows that it is the old school itself that is talking. He remembers the date over the door. “Yes, twenty years,” the old school sighs. “You weren’t here then ; but you’ve heard them say, the people down there in the city, how proud they were of me. They put me in the most beautiful spot they could find, where all the town might see me. Indeed, I have heard that there are few places for miles around from which I cannot be seen. Across on the Iowa hills, up river and down, my tower is the most conspicuous obect in the landscape. “Twenty years! Twenty Septembers, bringing my older children back to me, faces browned by the summer sun, mus- cles hardened by unwonted toil, all bub- bling over with enthusiasm ; bringing, too, the younger ones, the new ones, the babies, wondering timidly what I might hold in store for them. Dear youngsters! I have always been glad to see the older ones back, but most glad to see them. “Twenty years! Twenty autumns, with the clatter of cleated shoes, the thud of leather on leather, the jubilant yells of my happy tribe. One would never think, if he saw me only on a night like this, dreaming under the stars, how these old walls of mine have echoed and re-echoed on certain Monday mornings of my life. I have feared for my roof, but I know my tower has grown taller with pride. “Twenty falls, twenty winters, twenty springs! 1 have always loved the spring, especially since the cinder path down there has been in use — not the children themselves have been more impatient 9
