We would advise the school board TO droT
the disputed question of the Incompetence
OF the teacher, inasmuch as higher authority
has decided that the school is carried on IL
an orderly and systematic way. If they arc
not satisfied, call a meeting of the tax payer
and see if it would not be advisable to pay
the teacher her four months wages and LEI
her go, if she will. Try it.
The canp fire here last Saturday nigh
was successful beyond our expectations. Or
account of the smallness of the room anC
lack of necessary accouterments for the oc
casion, it was not expected that we coulC
succeed in very marked degree. 1t was an
impromptu affair, opened by genuine CAM
scene, followed by singing ave are TentinG
tonight on the old Camp Ground" After
which came the awkward squad drill
and more awkward squad could not well b.
found. Next came the capture of a contra
band and his son Ephraim. This was acte'
to perfection by j. Dimock. His singin;
and dancing we're inimitable. Excellen
speeches were made by Whelpley, Baldwin
Powell, and Rasco. Forster told an amusing
story of stealing bees and hogs, which
brought down the house. The exercise
we're closed by singing "Old Shady" by tn
Post choir. We expect the boys will be en-
couraged by their success to repeat at SOM
future time The only drawback was tn
very ungentlemanly proceeding of some mel
and boys who, because it cost them nothing
q for admission, insisted on standing close b
the foot-lights, thereby obstructing the vieV
of ladies' and gentlemen. At the next cam
fire an admission fee of ten cents will keel
them out.
