The FREE reading room in the City
Hall, which was opened some two
months ago, is becoming quite popu-
lar rendezvous for few of our studi-
ously-inciined young FOLKS. This place
should be made so attractive that it
would divert some of the young men
from spending so much valuable tiMe at

their minds, thew would take widely

places with loathiDg.
The SPRINGvILLE high school, cor
Quoted on a plan similar to the B. Y.
Academy of Provo, ended its half-quar-
Ter last Friday. An interesting pro-
gramme was presented, among other
things the paper was read. This paper
was begun a few weeks ago, on sugges-
ton of Principal S. ?. Eggertson, and
is sustained by contributions from the
students. This appears to be laud-
able undertaking, and ought to succeed.
After dismissal, the scholars were seated
in the south part of the room and pho
tographed by Mr.. Anderson.

several of whom were not well up in |
their lines, the pTomptor being in great |
demand. With a little more careful |
study on the part of the forgetful ones,
the piece would have decidedly better |
effect. Mr.. Lindsay impersonated Jean

bic style, carrying with him to the er d |
