Some boys have the lazy habit of go
ing to meals without washing their hands
and faces, their hair is never combed in
fact they seem to be made on the don't
care plan. Have a little pride, boys,
brace up and respect your face and hair
by washing and combing before meals.
On Wednesday afternoon, April 18,
news reached Chemawa over the tele
phone that an earthquake had struck
San Francisco. That many buildings
had collapsed and fire was raging over
that beautiful city and over 2,000 people
was killed. At the present writing the
city is still burning. The loss of life
compared with that of other catastrophes
is small, but the loss of wealth is much
greater.
Words cannot express the horror of
the situation. People all over Oregon
has responded liberally to the call for
help. Carloads of food and supplies are
being sent daily to the stricken populace.
All is being done that is in the power of
human being to alleviate the suffering.
There must be a city at that port as
commerce needs it. Time and work and
energy will remove the ravages of the
earthquake, and a more beautiful and
substantial city will rise again. A
SPRING
The sweet warm air breathes fragrance,
The green trees whisper'love,
The sky so blue and cloudless
Broods tenderly above.
The birds with joy are singing,
Sweet blossoms scent the air,
All nature now is radiant,
For spring so young and fair.
Is getting us with laughter,
With smiles and happy teats,
And hearts once more are dancing,
Forgotten are our fears.
The doubts that chilled our being
Through winter's gloomy roign
Depart like mists of morning.
Sweet spring is here again.
