It brought England into closer

paths, and drain swamps and

At first the English had rough
language and the Normans taught
smooth language.
Q—Who was the first English
king to go on a crusade? Why
were the crusaders not more suc
cessful ?
A—Richard I. was the first Eng
lish king to go on a crusade.

with each other.

the following: Sir Francis Drake;
Sir Walter Kalucigh; Lord Darnley;
Thomas Wolsey.
A—Sir Francis Drake fought the
Spanish Armada. He was a good
admiral. Sir Walter Raleigh was
a good poet, a witty courtier, good
sailor and soldier.
Lord Darnley was the husband of
Mary Queen of Scots.
Thomas Wolsey was made arch

“If I had served Cod as I did the
king, 1 would not be like this and
would not be left alone in my old
age.*'
Q—Describe the character of
Queen Elizabeth.
A—Queen Elizabeth’s character
was like Henry, her father. She
lacked gratitude to the men
who served her well. She was
stingy; she would send her sailors

FOR A POSTAGE STAMP
The highest price paid lately for
a postage stamp was $670, a sum
given at a New York auction the
other day for a 5-cent Hawaiian
missionary stamp of the issue of
1851. When the early missionaries
went from New England to tyuvaii
they looked ahead to many things,
but hardly to the sale of their post
age stamps at prices higher than
their salaries for a year.—Yotith’s
Companion.
Answers to questions regarding
age, by primary pupils:
Lizzie—“I’m five now but I’ll be
eight next summer."
Dalton—“Pm ten."
Teadier—“No you’re not ten."
Dalton—“Oh, yes, I am, 1 was
nine yesterday.
Visitors during the week were
Mrs. Ballaine, Mi's. Sauers and Mrs.
Sawyer. Come again and bring
others.
AN ESSAY GN THE
RELIGIONS DE
BRITISH INDIA
Geogrgaphy
Hy Thelma Ellsworth, age 12
The Religions of India
Hinduism has had a great effect
upon India. It has- caused the peo
ple to be divided into* classes or
castes. If one man is a street
sweeper his son must be one when
he grows up. If his father is- a
merchant, he must be one, etc.
They think the Ganges river is
sacred and if they bathe in its
waters it will wash their sins awa^;
also if they lie winthin miles of it
they feel sure of salvation.
If we should walk along its banks
we would see many wonderful
sights. The people carry big jars
that dip in the river and then pour
the water over their bodies, saying
their prayers all the while.
Thousands of people bathe in the
river, some young, and some old,
and some so weak and such they
can hardly stand up.
Along the banks of the Ganges
are smudges or fires where they
burn the dead. The Hindi< elievc
in burning the bodies of the dead
and throwing the ashes on the
river. They also believe in tortur
ing themselves; they go for days
without eating; they also hold up
their legs and arms and go for
days on one foot; they lie on sharp
rocks and try not to sleep at all for
days.
There is one very curious temple
in Benares, the holy city, where
they worship monkeys. There is a
big wall all around the temple with
trees inside, in which monkeys are
Jiatforng and playing.
* There is another temple where
they have sacred nils; pe>pe bring
flowers and vegetables and water
from the Ganges which they give to
the bulls, and chant their prayers
while the bulls are drinking.
SCHOOL NOTES
During the last week of February
five new pupils entered the Seward
Grammar school. The pupils were:
Belle Munson, Francis Leslie and
Cecil Leslie, in Miss Boot's room,
and Violet Gaffney and Elsie Leslie
in Miss Wold’s room.
The High School Atheneum
society will meet on Tuesday, Mar.
6, 1917, and it will be a Robert Ser
vice program for this time.
Seward scores one on Valdez.
Word comes from Valdez that little
Helen de Line is disappointed in
the school because they don’t have
the “jumps.” Upon erftpiiry,
“jumps” proves to be going above
one who misses.
Collector of news for this week is
Maxine McDonald.
