This year we have been visited by both a princess and a duke. The princess came from Damascus and gave us an ancient story of her city--the story of Naaman the Leper. The duke, who was from France, showed us pictures of beautiful old French buildings, which he is trying to keep from being destroyed.
Early in March our own class took part in a chapel program by demonstrating some lessons in musical appreciation.
Piping merrily _William_ the _Piper_ floated down the meadow _Brooks_ seated at the _Helm_ of his boat. Being a _New-man_ in this country he stopped to ask his way of a _Miller_. The miller directed him across the _Lee_ to a little town called _Goldsborough_. There he stopped at the inn of the _Van Nest_. After a good sleep, a shave with his _Gillette_, and a hearty meal of _Thomson's_ baked beans and _Wagner's_ canned _Pease_, he was much refreshed.
The next morning he continued his wanderings, but unwittingly he trespassed on the land of a farmer named _Hineline_, who threatened to take him to the village of _Simonton_ and throw him and his _Junk-in_ jail. Finally he made his peace, but he had to leave his boat behind.
"However, I'm not so unlucky," said he, "for I have stout _Douglas_ shoes to tramp in, and my faithful dog, _Benjamin_, to bear me company."
