The District School of Spotless Tows.

When th* fell wuoa opened, the principal of the District School dlvified the year’s work Into eleven class** and asked that the head of each department should put Into verse the first I*BBo n of the year. The result vras very interesting, and we are glad •© reproduce It for the amusement and instruction of our many readers. CLASS I. THE ALPHABET. AN MT head or NA J Can learn the Alphabet to any, Bat U C It takes the clever II Of one who la a little YYY To C that when .recited, true The Alphabet's dirty through and through! But take this Q. the Alphabet A very thorough cleaning will get If U will UUUU Sapolio, ✓ If or it Onds dirt an EZ foe. The Proof. abe D efgb I jtlmnopq It a T uvwx T S CLASS 11. SPELLING. PROPER enough, no doubt, 'twould be If you spelled “cleanliness" with C; But a better way to spell It 1 know,— Just S —A —P —O —L—l—O. For that famed soap doth wyirk a spell And leads to Cleanliness so well That all pronounce the two the antne — Identical meaning though different nam* CLASS 111. READINO. THE short word READING, If twisted, ‘th said. Will prove we GAIN by all we've RED; But READING Is such a valued thing Ita merits In no EAR Ull DING. For be ou learning's road must lag Who falls to RIDE that geutle NAG. I’ll Just point out one handy rule: — You'll always And there IS A POOL Wherever there’s SAPQLIO. And so for water need not go! Each combination has the same letters as the word READING. “IS A POOL" has the same letters ts SA POLIO. CLASS IV. PUNCTUATION. WHEN yon hare put coal on (:) the firs. Perhaps you, too. Onine up with Ire, And with atf exclamation mark (!) Your bands are now a shade too dark. But then may come a (,) happy thought Of wonders which that soap has wrought. Whose widespread use through a period Cl long. Beyond all question marks (????) It strong. So you ditto (“) the course you always ga And make a dash (—) for SAPOLIO. CLASS V. ARITHMETIC. TO MULTIPLY' your pleasure each day SUBTRACT all dirt that conies your wayl But to do this, you ought to kuow. You first must ADI) Sa polio. Which will DIVIDE by 3 your moll And require but a FRACTION of former toll; For "the Rule of Three,” as may be seen. Ia DIRT plua SAPOLIO equals CLEAN) CLASS VI. GEOGRAPHY. IN life, whatever la your SPHERE, ■Tls safe to STATE dirt will appear; And this mukt quite annoying be. For dirt la no delight to SEA. But though It be plied MOUNTAIN high, ’Tls PLAIN that It will quickly fly. If you’ve a notion (AN OCEAN) to OBEY And follow what the wisest say: And all of them Sayl’OLEo, For that makes ev'rythlng clean as snow. CLASS VII. HISTORY. / - WHEN crusty old DIOGENES Vent on a daytime chase. With lighted lantern held before his philosophic face. He dlil not seek an botiest man as hlato rles declare. But searched for a dishonest man, and sought fat in everywhere. For a dishonest grocer bud palmed off no him some soap That failed to eleag his lantern and at night had made him grope. So now he sought that rascal man ’round Athens, high and low. To make the mnu refund the cola or glv* SAPOLIOI CLASS VIII. PHYSIOLOGY. DO not give EAR to counsel bad, Tor ev'ryone NOSE that makes one sad 1 lie worst advice that TONGUE can tell Is, "Take this soap, ’twill do as well." Just put your FOOT down firm and strong And tell the clerk his BRAIN Is wrong. And you’ve experience quite In point To put bis statement OUT OF JOINT. Just NAIL his lies and let him know Your HEART Is set ou SAPOLIOI CLASS IX. MUSIC. IT Is a matter of general NOTE That Into house or FLAT will float Dust and dirt to take their place In a fashion that’s impolite and BASS. For never mind how SHARP you are Their sly Invasion you cannot BAR Unless tne proper KEY yon know, Which Is, of course, SAPOLIO— The soap that brings you REST right soon. And keeps your house or PLAT Is TUNEI CLASS X. ALGEBRA. LET Housewife equal X plus E X-|-B Let E the sign for Sa polio be; B For Dirt let minus X be had; — X Then nil these symbols we will add. The X and minus X drop out (As anyone can see. no doubt) And leave what must the housewife please— The happy symbol we call ease. EE CLASS XI. SHORTHAND. THE cleverest hands, both short and long. Are far too clever to purchase wrong; So they buy the soap with the little abort hand— A soap that dirt cannot withstand. For the soap with stenographic speed Is the sort of cleaner that people need To handily handle in handsome hands, Hand So polio only meets the demauds.
