THE RAILWAY TRAIN I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And stop to feed itself at tanks; And, the.n, prodigious, step A1·otmd a pile of momztains, And, supercilious, peer b~ shanties by the sides of roads; And then a quarry bare To fit its sides, and crawl betwee11, C omplainittg all the while In horrid hooting stanza; The1~ chase itself dowa hill And neigh like Boanerges; Then, p~nctual as a star, Stop~docile at~d omttipotentA t its mtm stable door. -EMILY DrcKrNso~.

Community Chests a method of discharging the debt that a community O\ves to the sick, the poor, and the dependent \Niltnette's Community Chest is a tnodel. It benefits those who give and those "·ho receive. Those \vho give find it itnpler and n1ore saving of titne and energ-y to n1ake one paytnent a year than to string out paytnents over the entire 52 \veeks. Pay once and it's done for the year The charitable organizations receiving the tnoncy in a fixed amount and at a fixed titne can plan accordingly. The suspicion tnay still linger in some n1inds that organized charity is cold and calculating. But this suspicion is a relic of the days when a tnan doled out his gifts in a personal \Yay and got a thrill every titne he handed out a nickle. Organized giving is not a case of the gift without the giver. Because a n1an pays into the Comtnunity Che t a certain amount only once a. year is no sign that his heart is not in his gift. Little unretnetnbered deeds of kindness done every day arc good, but s.o is the yearly benefaction.

Seeing Things I National .((.indergarten EBRUARY 10 is an itnportant day in the annals of north" shore educational activities, for that one da v the National Kindergarten and Elen)enta"'ry College held its first classes in its ne\v building on Sheridan road, Wiltnette. On the north shore there are no\v not only excellent primary and secondary schools, public and private, but also universities and colleges. The NKEC will be the first scho,o l of its kind on the north shore. F T is not too soon for those who are interested in birds a:1d their n1igrations to begin t<J look ahout for ne\v arrivals. Often a fc\\· \vann days at the end of Jannary or early itf February stir in the tni gratory bini a longing for new sc~nes and new experiences. A little \\·atch fulness will be rewarded by the ight of the hardy· \vinter residents here, the various kinds of woodpeckers, the blue jay, . the chick-a-dee. The habit of oh. erving the trees while they are still bare of leaves \Yill be good training fo .. those early spring days the sutnmer residents and the tnigrants begin to cotne. Seeing things in the out-of-doors is not a con1n1on cha-racteristic. Far more people go through life \\·ithout kno,ving \Vhat is going on about thetn, except in the circtnnscribed round of their O\Vn activities! than perceive the \vealth of interest that lie~ all about. A habit of looking for birds \\·ill breed other habits qf observing, and life will hecotne richer and fuller. Look on the insides of the front covers of your books and see if any of them sho\v the bookplate of the Ne,v Trier high school library. These books are the pr.operty of your high school. Return them either to the library itself or leave them at the Kenil wn:-th phannacy, Renneckar's at Wiltnette and Central, or Heinsen & Kroll's, 419 Fourth street. Fire away, ~Ir. II. P.
