The Mule

 The Mule 


The language of the magazines of the 1917 in The United States Of America was polite, respectful and official. Down below is the poem, a very serious verse of the American poet sir H.J, Waterford Conn. He presented his insights about the symbol of the animal- the mule- the Byblical symbol, which has never disappeared from the World Culture. The Chief Editor of the Magazine " The Spatula"- called this verse the poetic dissertation about the domesticated animal, which the mankind knows for more than two thousand years. The first time this poem has been published circa 1917 in the famous magazine of The United States Of America- "The Cottage Farmer".

The mule he is a funny sight, 
He's made of ears and dynamite, 
His heels is full of bricks and springs, 
Tornadoes, battering rams, and things. 
He's fat as any poisoned pup; 
It's just his meanness swells him up; 
He's always scheming 'round to do 
The things you most don t want him to.

The mule he lives on anything; 
He's got a lovely voice to sing, 
And when he lets it loose at noon,
 It sounds like buzz-saws out of tune. 
He stands around with sleepy eye 
And looks as if he d like to die, 
But when there's any dying done, 
It ain t the mule I ll bet a bun.

Some folks don't treat mules with respect, 
They say they ain't got intellect; 
That may be so, but if you've got 
To go to heaven on the spot, 
And want a way that doesn't fail, 
Just pull the tassel on his tail. 
The mule he tends to his own biz; 
He don t look loaded but he is.   

The verse is the ode to the animal of the Jesus, who brought him through the gates into the City Of Jerusalem. The proud working animal, loved and respected for thousands of years by the whole mankind. Even the popular Walt Disney loves this animal- the stories of Winnie The Pooh- the little mule has a tassel on his tail. A symbol of the Bible.

THE ODE FOR COLUMBUS DAY. 

"COLUMBIA'S BANNER." 

"God helping me,"-cried Columbus, "though fair or foul the breeze," 
I will sail and sail till I find the land beyond the western seas!"- 
So an eagle might leave its eyrie, bent though the blue should bar, 
To fold its wings on the loftiest peak of an undiscovered star !
And into the vast and void abyss he followed the setting sun; 
Nor gulfs nor gales could fright his sails till the wondrous quest was done.
But O the weary vigils, the murmuring, torturing days, 
Till the Pinta's gun, and the shout of "Land!" set the black night ablaze! 
Till the shore lay fair as Paradise in morning's balm and gold, 
And a world was won from the conquered deep, and the tale of the ages told!

Uplift the starry Banner! The best age is begun!
We are the heirs of the mariners whose voyage that morn was done. 
Measureless lands Columbus gave, and rivers through zones that roll,
But his rarest, noblest bounty was a New World for the Soul! 
For he sailed from the Past with its stifling walls, to the Future's open sky,
And the ghosts of gloom and fear were laid as the breath of heaven went by;
And the pedant's pride and the lordling's scorn were lost,in that vital air,
As fogs are lost when sun and wind sweep ocean blue and bare;
 And Freedom and larger Knowledge dawned clear,the sky to span,
The birthright, not of priest or king, but of every child of man!

Uplift the New World's Banner to greet the exultant sun! 
Let its rosy gleams still follow his beams as swift to west they run, 
Till the wide air rings with shout and hymn to welcome it shining high, 
And our eagle from lone Katahdin to Shasta's snow can fly 
In the light of its stars as fold on fold is flung to the autumn sky! 
Uplift it, Youth and Maidens, with songs and loving cheers; 
Through triumph's, raptures, it has waved, through agonies and tears.
Columbia looks from sea to sea and thrills with joy to know 
Her myriad sons, as one, would leap to shield it from a foe!
And you who soon will be the State, and shape each great decree, 
Oh,vow to live and die for it, if glorious death must be! 
The brave of all the centuries gone this starry Flag have wrought; 
In dungeons dim, on gory fields, its light and peace were bought;
And you who front the future-whose days our dreams fulfill- 
On Liberty's immortal height, oh plant it firmer still!
For it floats for broadest learning; for the soul's supreme release; 
For law disdaining license; for righteousness and peace; 
For valor born of justice; and its amplest scope and plan 
Makes a queen of every woman, a king of every man! 
While forever, like Columbus, o'er Truth's unfathomed main 
It pilots to the hidden isles, a grander realm to gain.

Ah! what a mighty trust is ours, the noblest ever sung, 
To keep this Banner spotless its kindred stars among! 
Our fleets may throng the oceans-our forts the headlands crown- 
Our mines their treasures lavish for mint and mart and town- 
Rich fields and flocks and busy looms bring plenty, far and wide-
And statelier temples deck the land than Rome's or Athens pride-
And science dare the mysteries of earth and wave and sky-
Till none with us in splendor and strength and skill can vie; 
Yet, should we reckon Liberty and Manhood less than these, 
And slight the right of the humblest between our circling seas,-
Should we be false to our sacred past, our fathers God forgetting, 
This Banner would lose its lustre, our sun be nigh his setting! 
But the dawn will sooner forget the east, the tides their ebb and flow, 
Than you forget our radiant Flag, and its matchless gifts forego!
Nay!you will keep it high-advanced with ever-brightening sway- 
The Banner whose light betokens the Lord's diviner day- 
Leading the nations gloriously in Freedom's holy way! 
No cloud on the field of azure-no stain on the rosy bars- 
God bless you, Youths and Maidens, as you guard the Stripes and Stars!   

THIS HYMN WAS OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS AS THE OFFICIAL PLAY AND CONCERT ON THE OFFICIAL CELEBRATION EVENT OF THE CRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DAY ON THE DAY OF THE 12TH OF OCTOBER OF  THE YEAR 1908.

The Discovery of America

 

The Discovery of America 


By BESSIE F. DODGE.

  OFFICIAL HYMN AND OFFICIAL POEM FOR THE OFFICIAL CELEBRATION OF THE COLUMBUS DAY ON THE OCTOBER TWELFTH,  IN THE SCHOOLS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS DAY IS OFFICIALLY CALLED THE DISCOVERY DAY AND AS WELL THIS IS THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IS CALLED THE FLAG DAY. ON THE COLUMBUS DAY THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS RAISED.

A PLAY - For thirteen children each reciting one verse - one child at a time.

THIS PLAY IS COMMEMORATION OF THE REAL HISTORICAL EVENTS WHICH HAPPENED ON THE SHIPS OF THE CAPTAIN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS IN 1492.

October twelfth is Discovery Day; 
And I'll tell you one thing more- 
To discover is to find out 
What was not known before.

Hundreds of years ago, 
In fourteen-ninety-two, 
Christopher Columbus 
Sailed over the ocean blue.

Before that time, white people 
Lived on the other side, 
And between them and America 
Lay the Atlantic, deep and wide.

Columbus was an Italian, 
His home was near the sea; 
In school he studied geography, 
That he a sailor might be.

All but this Columbus 
Thought the world was small and_flat,
And if they traveled very far, 
Would come to the edge-think of that.  

He tried to prove to learned men 
That the earth is like a ball, 
But only a very few 
Would listen to him at all.

At last, Queen Isabella,
Said she believed him any way, 
And helped to fit out three small ships 
To sail westward without delay.

After sailing for many weeks, 
The men were filled with alarm, 
And planned if Columbus did not turn back,
To do him cruel harm.

Columbus understood how they felt, 
And said if in three days more 
They did not see signs of land, 
They would return to their homeward shore.

But before the time was over, 
Land was in full view, 
Indians were here and there, 
In wigwam and canoe.

Columbus in a scarlet robe, 
With Spain's banner in his hand, 
With the sailors went on shore 
And thanked God for the beautiful land.      

This country was named America
But some people think-do you?- 
That it should have been Columbia
For Columbus brave and true.

This fact then do not forget, 
Whatever else you do;
 Columbus discovered America
In 1492.

Seek your beds so warm, 
Gently fall these seeds to cover- 
Guarding them from harm."

 North Wind fairies sing the chorus
 To us as of old.

That which ye have hold fast till I come REV ii 25 

1. Ho my comrades See the signal Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing, Victory is nigh!
"Hold the fort the fort for I am coming," Jesus signals still,
Wave the answer back to Heaven, "By Thy grace we will." 

2 See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on:
Mighty men around us falling, Courage almost gone!
"Hold the fort the fort for I am coming," Jesus signals still,
Wave the answer back to Heaven, "By Thy grace we will." 

3.3 See the glorious banner waving! 
Hear the trumpet blow! 
In our Leader's name we 'll triumph 
Over every foe!

4.4 Fierce and long the battle rages, 
But our help is near: 
Onward comes our great Commander, 
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!

AT SUNSET

 AT SUNSET 


By Marie Burke 

 Marie Burke and Imogene Lockett. poets and virtuoso pianists  were playing a piano duet at the Kroeger School recital in June 1919.
She was the famous designer of South Africa, Johannesburg, musical- comedy star, married name Klein.
As a musical comedy star Miss Burke played with much success in London in "Afgar."

Daughter Signal Maintainer Geneseo Ill 

The western sky is all aglow 
With tints of golden hue; 
The birds now flying to their nests,
 Have sung the whole day through.

Slowly the shadows are creeping 
Across the dull, blue sky; 
Slowly the colors are changing 
And evening is drawing nigh.  
Sweetly the sound of vesper bells 
Are calling men to prayer; 
Calling them to thank our Lord 
For His tender, watchful care.

The flowers bending low their heads 
Are very glad that they 
Have had a part to make this world 
More beautiful today.

Watch Your Step

 Watch Your Step

JACK-O-LANTERN-

 I am a Jackie, 
Though very small, 
I stare through the window 
To scare you all.  

BLACK CAT- 

I am a black cat. 
On Halloween. 
With Mistress Witch 
I may be seen.

WITCH -

I am a witch 
Who may carry you 
Off through the air, 
But no harm I ll do.

GHOST- 

On Halloween 
The ghosts appear, 
So watch your step 
Throughout the year.

OWL

I am a wise old owl 
From Goblin-land. 
Tu-whit!  Tu-whoo! 
I'll join your band.

GOBLIN

I am a goblin, you know, 
So just watch out 
Or you soon will know 
That I'm about!

ALL -
(sing to tune "Marching Through Georgia"
 We're off, we're off, 
New fun now to find;
We'll seek, we'll seek, 
For fun of every kind! 
We'll scare the boys and girls we see 
This Halloween night, 
So watch when through you re going!

The Scenario was written by the very famous educologist, professor Mae E Sweatt in 1927. Professor Sweatt  was working with the age groups 7-15 years. Her personal input into the sciences of  Education was concentrating on the specific lessons like Silent Reading and Drama.
By Mae E Sweatt 
FOR the benefit of those teachers who realize the advantagesm derived from silent reading lessonsm but are unable to obtain special silent reading booksm here are a few suggestions which have proved successful with seventh and eighth grade pupils who had never before had silent reading lessons.
 Pupils in these grades should be able to read from one hundred fifty to two hundred words per minute of matter within their comprehension. We have found that the fastest readers show better comprehension than the slower ones.
Full analysis of how the problem was solved in the schools of The United States Of America  was presnted in the series of articles and poems to learn- the methodology of The USA was thorough- students began learning poems and rhymes in kindergartens and problems were solved with the help of riddles and puzzles each day.

EXPLAINED 


(HYMN)

 by GEORGE WHITEFIELD D'VYS 

Ο NE sultry day I chanced to pause 
Beneath a welcome shade, 
And there espied a lad and lass 
Were selling lemonade.

"How much!" I asked in merry mood. 
"One cent, sir," said the lass. 
"Mine is two cents the boy ex-
claimed, 
"Say, mister, buy a glass!"

I sipped wee samples from each pail, 
And really found it true, 
The drink that cost one cent a glass 
Surpassed that costing two.

I slipped the little girl a dime, 
And quaffed her lemonade, 
Then quaffed thrice more, declaring it 
The best drink ever made.

"Yet why," I asked, "charge half his 
price 
When yours is, twice as fine?"
 In quiv'ring tones her answer was: 
"A kitty fell in mine!"

(HYMN)

By Sarah F Dusinbury 

O, the fragrant beautiful roses! 
God's loveliest flowers of June- 
hymn should be writ to their splen-
dors 
And sung to a heavenly tune. 

Tis only the skill of the Master, 
In His love His children to please, 
Could fashion and color and 
Such glorious flowers as these.

 And 'tis only this Great Magician 
The wonderful mystery knows 
How, with earth and with rain and 
with sun 
He creates the magnificent rose.

Homesick

 Homesick 


(HYMN) 

By Charles H. Towne 

SOMETIMES when the grind heart city beats on my 
heart
Like a brazen hammer with 
terrible blows,
 I think of a lost garden I knew 
in my boyhood, 
Filled with the scent of the rose. 

And sometimes, w h e n  the 
clamor of life seems end-
less,
 And my soul is bowed with 
its weight and pain 
I think of an old, still apple 
tree in blossom 
At the end of a hawthorn lane.

Oh, do not smile at such simple 
memories! 
They keep us young, they 
keep the man-heart right. 
And some time we will all go 
back contented 
To a Garden, and a Tree, in a place of light.

Charles Hanson Towne has been most widely known and admired as a poet, but since the appearance of his novel "The Chain," which was pubLished during the summer, his fame has spread rapidly through another field. Portland people who were fortunate enough to meet Mr Towne personally. during his visit to Portland. or ,who heard him speak at any of the public functions. held in honor of the
"Putnam Party". know that he is a clever punster. Many of his remarks such as "Poets are born, not paid;" "The wages of gin is breath;" "Out, where the vest begins;" etc. are still gleefully quoted.
 Mr Towne WAS a contributor to a number of the best known national magazines and has recently been made fiction editor of Metropolitan.

Mother

 Mother  


(HYMN)

WHEN We lovingly think of the one who who has
done
 The most for mankind in her 
place;
Who has lifted the world from dark-
ness to light, 
And worked for the good of the 
race.  
Of one who has silently plodded along, 
Retiringm unselfish, and kind;- 
Who is worthy to stand in the pres-
ence of God- 
 It is MOTHER who comes to our mind. 

While men are contending in Com-
merce and Trade, 
The wealth of this world to gain;- 
Securing the glory and homage of 
men,
 She suffers in silence and pain. 
While men win the plaudits the world 
will give, 
Securing great honor and place- 
She bows to her duty without a com- 
plaint 
And MOTHERS the whole human race.  

But a glad day is coming 
when all will do right 
And men cease from struggle and 
strife;
When God in His wisdom will give 
the reward, 
To the worthiest one in this life. 
When the Heavens are ringing in 
joyous acclaim,  
As redeemed ones come into their 
own-
The Hosts of the Heavens will bow 
to a Queen 
For MOTHER will sit  on a THRONE.

The Swan's Song

 The Swan's Song  


(HYMN)

By GRACE MCCORMAC FRENCH 

IN April days of sun and rain 
The farmer hastes his seed to plant,
 But stops his team to gaze and hark 
To Nature's wildest mating chant.

They come, they come, trumpeting 
swan 
Their migrant instinct they obey. 
To nest upon the Arctic's shores- 
God speed them on their north-bound 
way.

The band of silv'ry forms then pass 
Before the black cloud's threaťning 
face, 
And long the trumpet call is heard, 
Though shining forms are lost in 
space. 

The husbandman resumed his toil, 
And pondered on the ways of man 
Who would destroy for sport and greed 
Last members of a mighty clan.

Oh, pray that soon the sense of right 
Will stay man's oft destroying hand; 
That happy birds may safely roam 
Across this boasted freeman's land.

The Voices

 The Voices

By Charles H Towne 


I heard the voice of the city 
Calling again and again, 
And into her arms there hastened 
Millions and millions of men.

And I heard the voice of old gardens, 
Of quiet woodland ways; 
But few there were who would heed 
them 
In the rush of the busy days.

The cities grow old and vanish, 
And their people faint and die; 
But the gardens are green forever, 
Forever blue is the sky.

We're Winning

 We're Winning  


(HYMN)

Tune:  Old Black Joe 

Gone are the days when the Grain 
Trust ruled the West. 
Gone are the rebates, short rates, 
and the rest.
 Gone from the West to a better land 
they know.
 We hear their growling voices calling, 
"We must go."


We re winning, they re losing 
In the battle for the right. 
We hear our brother farmers calling, 
"Stick to the fight."

Our market places, so busy and so 
free, 
Our children's rights are sure to guar-
antee. 
So let us strive and give them blow 
for blow, 
And keep the poor ol'grain trust cry-
ing, "I must go."

We're winning, they're losing, 
In the fight for liberty. 
Oh, hear your brother calling, "Far-
mer, 
Stand by the Free."

Beside the Home fire's cheerful glow 


(HYMN)

Beside the Home fire's cheerful 
glow 
May mirth and joy thy comrades 
be, 
And even churlish winter show 
A smiling face to thee. 

May life no gloomy side reveal, 
But all this bright year 
Good fortune spin her shining 
Right merrily for you.

"May life no gloomy side reveal, 
But all this bright year through 
Good fortune spin her shining wheel 
Right merrily for you."

Open the door of your heart

 Open the door of your heart 


(HYMN)

BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE 

Open the door of your heart. my 
friend, 
Heedless of class or creed, 
When you hear the cry of a brother's 
voice, 
The sob of a child in need. 
To the shining heaven that o'er you 
bends 
You need no map or chart. 
But only the love the Master gave- 
Open the door of your heart.


FULL TEXT

I have cheerfully made my life's work 

The Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, 
"The Fraternal Order of Eagles,
The Knights of Pythias, 
The Woodmen of the World, 
                     I gratefully dedicate this little book of verse gathered "From the Four Winds" 
                                                                   JOHN PHILLIPS MEAKIN 
Open the door of your heart, my lad, 
To the angels of love and truth; 
When the world is full of unnumbered joys, 
In the beautiful dawn of youth. 
Casting aside all things that mar, 
Saying to wrong, "Depart!" 
To the voices of hope that are calling you 
Open the door of your heart.

Open the door of your heart, my lass, 
To the things that shall abide, 
To the holy thoughts that lift your soul 
Like the stars at eventide. 
All the fadeless flowers that bloom 
In the realms of song and art 
Are yours, if you ll only give them room.
 Open the door of your heart.

Open the door of your heart, my friend, 
Heedless of class or creed, 
When you hear the cry of a brother's voice, 
The sob of a child in need. 
To the shining heaven that o'er you bends 
You need no map or chart,
But only the love the Master gave. 
Open the door of your heart.   

THE SPEECH:

Every good act is charity. Giving water to the thirsty is charity. Removing stones and thorns from the road is charity. Exhorting your fellow men to virtuous deeds is charity. Smiling in your brother's face is a charity. A man's true wealth is the good he does in this world. When he dies mortals will ask, "What property has he left behind him?" but angels will ask, "What good deeds hast thou sent before thee?"                                                                                                                         Mahomet

Let Thanksgiving Fill the Air

 Let Thanksgiving Fill the Air  


(HYMN)

WHEN bluebirds tilted graceful heads;
Above the fragrant violet beds 
When robins hid their turquoise gems,
 And berries hung from silken stems; 
When. doves were cooing on the eaves.
And pearls were set in iris leaves; 
When o/er the nests the thrushes sung,
And curfew harbells lightly rang, 
You saw in all, God's loving care, 
Then let Thanksgiving fill the air! 
And unto Him your love declare. 

When hills turned golden in a night, 
And fields showed colors warm bright; 
When perfumes met in wayside 
To tell of cherished autumn sweets; 
When memories came thick and fast 
To bring the harvest of the past,
The fruited joys of all the years- 
To cover griefs, and sighs, and tears, 
You saw and felt God's love and care. 
Then let Thanksgiving fill the air! 
And unto Him your love declare.

ON HALLOWEEN'S NIGHT

  ON HALLOWEEN'S NIGHT 


( HYMN)

On Hallowe'en night, 
By dim candle light. 
The wheel of fortune will turn. 
If you will attend 
The sumons I send, 
Your true fate you may learn. 


Noma Hallowe en Electrical Decorations 

No longer need shoe boxes or even pumpkin shells with their frightful cut out grimaces be painstakingly worked over to obtain the essential touch of the spirit of Hallowe'en. The day of home made devices for colorful party effects is passed,  And the uncertainty of dim candle light with its ever attending danger can now be easily overcome. Strings of mellow colored orange and yellow electric lights ingeniously ar ranged as to achieve the most pleasing results can be obtained from the Noma Electric Corporation. Festoons of color-lights may hang with carefree abandon and augment whatever decorative scheme may be conceived. Noma lights may peep from behind black witches riding along the wall and give an eerie hallation to the blackest of cats that abound on Halloween night. Picture seven smiling symbols of gay festivity, each one a light, hung about the room, artificial ears of yellow corn be tween .What better kind of Hallowe'en decoration could be proffered than a string of pumpkins, wired for brightly glowing electric lights such as is now available. Truly, color conjures the dazzling magic of the spirit world and weaves charms and spells about the party. The occasion is ever so much more enjoyable with the absolute assurance of safety. The wire of Noma lights is weather-proof and the pumpkins, with their brightly painted smiling faces, provide an attractive and lasting adjunct to this festive occasion.

"Jack-O-Lantern"

 "Jack-O-Lantern" 


(HYMN)

 I saw a Jack O'Lantern 
Nod his clumsy yellow head, 
To all his comrades in the field 
'Til they hid in a wooden shed, 
The sandman came with a candle-
stick 
Then made a tiny light, 
And said a little tallow 
Will make your head feel right. 

And O, such jolly Jack O's 
I never ne'er did see, 
Because the evening all along 
They winked their eyes at me, 
They told the little boys and girls 
If they would be well bred 
To learn each study well in school 
'Twould brighten things ahead.

LOST FEARS

  Lost Fears  

No one has expressed the comfort and companionship of nature better than has Elizabeth Barrett Browning in these familiar lines 

(HYMN)

The little cares that fretted me, 
I lost them yesterday, 
Among the fields above the sea. 
Among the winds at play;
 Among the lowing of the herds,
 The rustling of the trees,
 Among the singing of the birds,
 The humming of the bees.

 The foolish fears of what may happen,
 I cast them all away/
 Among the clover-scented grass, 
Among the new-mown hay, 
Among the husking of the corn, 
Where drowsy poppies nod, 
Where ill thoughts die and good are 
born 
Out in the fields with God. 

E. B. Browning
