Carlisle school he says, "Old Carlisle is
head nd shoulders above all our other
schools in many ways. Ft goes in for the

It does, a lesson to ItB younger ambitious
brothers in the Went.
It has now over 1000 pupils and parties
of recruits are still coming without solicita
tion. No lime ir wasted or lost at Carlisle.
Kmployes and pupils inspired and led by
their great and worthy Superintendent,
Col. It. H. Pratt, labor without ceasing.
One of their principal mottoes is "Labor
conquers all things." This is the key
note ol Carli-le's com inued success.
The plain mam moth buildings, comfort
ably but not extravagantly furnished, the
most spacious grounds, and the well kept
ami managed farms all present an appear
ance of solidity, good management and
success that is most inspiring, gratifying
and worthy of emulation.
Every school in the country has much to
thank old Carlisle lor, and should show
itfc appreciation in the right way.

To My Dear Chemawa Boys aud Girls:
I sup
pose you know it willbeX-mas in about b0
days? It seems strange you all forget ine
about 4i.h of July, but when it gets near
December the letters begin coming to me
by the bushel. Well I'll notqcold youifyou
do forget YOUR OLD FRIEND HANTA
during the summer time. I love everyone
of yo u just as much as I do the white Itoys
and girla and I want to tell you my love is
not cold and of the ice cream variety even
if I do live in the regions of ice and snow.
Well I wonder if you have all been good
boys and girls this year. Have you been
studying hard in the school-room? Have
you been working faithfully in the h ps
and on the farm, the orchard, the g-u'den
and the dairy? I hope so. Old Uncle
Sam, who by the way is a second cnu-in to
my Mother's, is certainly a good old Chap,
and I want vou to love him harder ihm
you do me. Beoause just think of the
many presents he is giving you every, day
of the year, while I only help you out once,
at X-mas time.
Yes you ought to love that old m n ev
ery inch of him for giving you such a good
home and school and such a grand oppor
tunity to get an education and learn a
trade as well. There, a I understand it
you chi g-t both. What a snap, a bouk

all round education ihese days to make a
genuine nucleus in life. Their hands must
tie taught Home good useful line of work as
well as their he tdt filled with arithmnic,
geography, grammar and common seuwe.
Well you must excuse rue for preaching you
tliiasertnon. I expect you get enough n(
that at ibe school, but I am so much inter
ested in eyeryone of you that I couldn't
help urging you to jump in and do your
level best while at echo 1. Of cour-e I do
