L W. Ware. Our Correspondence School. Owing to the enforced closing of schools, the need for some form of home study by pupils has become most urgent. The teachers met the first of the week and made plans - for home study and supervision Much of the work of the iuvver grades requires the presence ql the primary teachers, who are -busy tms week going from house to-bouse, the Grammar grades and High school are working out their assignments in their homes and sending their written recit ations toSheir respective teachers for correction. Each teacher has an improvised mail box at the front door of her home for the daily reception of written work. Parents and pupils should enter heartily into the scheme of home study to insure a success of the plan, which seems the only way to make up the work lost. With the resumption of regular school sessions whenever that may be classes will begin where the home study and recitations warrant. Gene W. Hall, Principal. The following bit of original verse, which was crowded out of the school notes last week, was said to be floating about the High school without a sponsor: "SAY HOW." What shall we do with the Kaiser, And the rest of the murdering crew To punish them for their iies, or The things they attempted to do? Shall we let them escape to some neu tral And live out their lives unashamed; Let them boast of their conquests so brutal, And brag of the hosts they 've'defamed? Shall we let them retire to their castles Bearing jewels, and raiment and gold They have wrested from unwilling vassals. And pillaged from young and from old? Shall we search out some isle of the ocean St. Helena, Elba, or such And exile this source of commotion That has put all of Europe "in Dutch?" Shall we call him a misguided duffer. Who had r big dream that went flat; And forget what the world had to suffer To check his imperial "bat?" Shall the one who sanctioned the slay ing Of innocent Edith Cavell. Be given the choice of delaying His just transportation to Hell? Ask the widows and sisters and mo thers. Whose loved ones lie wounded or dead, If their husbands and sons, and their brothers Would save his demoniacal head? Ask the Belgians, with their bodies denuded; Ask the prisoners who starved in their pen ; Ask the Poles whom he tricked and deluded; Ask the whole race of civilized men If the author of gas shells and Kultur Who claimed the firm name, "Me und Gott" That world-hated inhuman vulture. For whom half of Hell is kept hot Shall live, to view a world toiling To restore lands destroyed by the Hun; Or send him where pitch is kept boil ing For the Devil's most capable son? I 1 ! RED, EMBLEM OF DOMINATION His From Time Immemorial Been Sig nificant of High Authority Blue Called Cloak of Heaven. Of all bright colors red Is the favor ite among primitive peoples. It ex cites to violence In flags and uniforms Red Is the emblem of domtnution In politics and religion. The cardinal and the doctor of divinity have their red robes. On the other hand, red has replaced green In one respect as a restful color At great state functions out of doors In India, such as a durbar, red umbrel las are preferred to green as nn effec tlve sunshade. Blue has a minor Influence. Curious ly enough, It appears only to affect the cat In the same way that red affects other animals. Humaulty has a respect for blue, which Is the clonk of heaven. In legends and fairy tales it is the good little boy, destined to achieve success in life and marry a princess, who Is described us clothed In blue, while a red blouse serves for the bad boy.

The coconut crab of Christmas la land earns its name by the way It makes its living. Except for Its an nual visit to the sea, It lives In a hole in the ground lined with coconut fillers and climbs up the coconut trees to procure Its food. According to Ameri can Forestry, this "robber-crab's meth od of carrying coconuts Is to strip them of their husks and then to hold the nut under some of Its walking legs, while It retires, raised high on the hips of those legs not used for this purpose." After removing the husk from the coconuh) the crab "hammers on the round depressions at one end till entrance is effected." Ireland's Round Towers. No one knows exactly when or why the round towers In Ireland were built, but some believe that the drulds erected them as watch towers and places to which to go for safety In time of danger. A good many of the towers have the tops broken down and those which show the cone tops intact have mostly been restored. There Is no door on the ground, the doors be ing purposely built at about 10 or 15 feet from the ground and were reached by ladders. After the people had climbed inside they drew their ladders tip after them and thus were out of reach -of He Danes who frequently Invaded the country. The tiny window.') ot these towers arc far up toward the top also. About 80 round towers remain in Ire land, but only a few of them are per fect. According to one authority, they were probably built between the Oth and 13tn centuries. Tke Well Dressed Man is well fortified in the battle or success. A. E.
