4 JUST BE GLAD. 4
♦ ♦ 4444444>4444>
O, heart of mine, we shouldn’t
Worry so.
What we missed of calm we couldn’t
Have you know!
What we’ve met of stormy pain,
And of sorrow’s driving rain,
We can better meet again.
If if blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When the tears fell with the shower,
All alone.
Were not shine and shower blent
As the gracious Master meant
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For we know not every morrow
Can be sad;
For we know all the sorrow
We have had.
Let us fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.
—James Whitcomb Riley.

test. i

the encore Miss Crumley sang, "I Met
a Little Elf Man.”
The rendition of “Souvenir de Tro-'

core. Mrs. Terrell sang “A Little Bit
of Heaven,.”

ture of the afternoon. “Aloho Oe,” a'
pretty Hawaiian melody, was played
by Mrs. Pace as an encore.
A brilliant and enjoyable feature

Art Exhibit of Masterpieces
To Be at The Furlow School
Recognizing the educational ad
vantages to be derived from opportun
ities to see good art, the Furlow Gram
mar school has arranged with the El
son Art Publication Co. for an art ex
hibition to be held in the Grammar
school building. February 21-24.
This collection of carbon photo
graphs, photogravures and prints in
full color is selected by art experts'
and should attract large crowds. An |
admission fee of 25 cents will be:
charged, the entire proceeds of which 1
after deducting expenses, will be used ;
to purchase pictures for our school
building.
Why should this exhibit interest
you?
Because, throughout the country,
people are awakening to the import
ance and vale of good art as creative
of a refining influence and inspiring
atmosphere, and just as surely as
people become familiar with tl?b best
in art, just so quickly will the crude
in art be displaced through the ap
preciation of something better. It if,
of course, idle to suppose that one
shall become a competent judge of
art simply through studying for a!
time photographs of prints.
But what can and should be obtain
ed is a large measure of appreciation.
A work of art which is really great
will hear reproduction, and even
though this may not possess the
pleasure giving power of the original
in a gallery three thousand miles,
Cap and Gown
Be Worn By
** - 1
Grads.
The provincial cap and gown—with
out show, and with a beautiful dig
nity, wijl be used by the graduating
class of the Americus High school for
their exercises in May. This an
nouncement comes this morning from
Superintendent J. E. Mathis, who is,
perhaps, greatly responsible for the
new feature.
The class held a meeting and re
i ferred the matter to Prof. Mathis for
decision, and after conferring with
many parents concerning the question,
i: was decided to have the graduates
wear the cap and gown—to cost only
$1.50, as against the customs of the
past with elaborate gowns Oosting
$25.00 and upwards. No flowers or
presents w’ill be allowed at the exer
cises. Jeffersonian simplicity will
mark the departure of the brilliant
class from the walls of the Americus
■ High school.
KINGGEORGE MBS
ARMY SO TALK
LONDON, Feb. 7.-—King George at
the opening of parliament here today
cald the Entente Allies’ reply to Pres
ident Wilson’s peace note outlined
the aims of the allies as far as could,
be done at this time, adding the signi
ficant remark that "threats of further
outrages against the common rights
of humanity, only serve to steel our
determination.”
The opening of parliament was
shorn of all the usual pomp,
king wearing his khaki field uniform,
while members of the house of lords
and commons entitled to do so, all
wore either army khaki or regulation
navy blue. The uniforms of army
and navy officers were of field pat
terns, and without the usual gold
lace and embellishments.

away, that measure of power which it
does possess is well worth taking.
Suppose we have pondered over some
masterpiece until we know it literally
by heart, and can see it with our eyes
shut. Should we not be passing rich?
And it can be done. Any one who
cares to do it can accumulate gradual- '
ly a little picture gallery of this sort
in his own mind quite independent of
time, place or money.
The pictures which will be. exhibited
vzill not be for sale, but it will be pos
sible to purchase exact duplicates,
and the money raised through these
sales will also go toward the fund for
purchasing pictures for the publie
schools.
The building will be open during
the afternoons and nights, and tickets
will be good for the entire time, so
that the pictures may be studied leis-,
urely and thoroughly.
The collection will be arranged to
show the development of art from tho
pyramids and temples of Egypt
through the fine old classic architec
ture and sculpture, Italian painting,'
Dutch, French, Spanish, English and
American.
To aid those who would study the
pictures, catalogues at 5 cents each
may be purchased. The catalogues
give a short sketch of the picture, as
veil as a small reproduction. It
would be well to obtain a copy of the'
catalogue some days before the ex
hlbit, so that the pictures might be
more familiar.
