The teachers OF our high school are
trying To get up library for the use of
the school and have arranged To have IA
dramatic entertainment for that purpose.
1t is called The Last Loaf" and is got
ten up by the young ladies' and gentle
men and some of the teachers. While
all this is very nice in its place, we don't
| think il just the thing To take the time
| up praclicing that belongs to the children
We think that in the school house flag
drills, marching. music and theatrical
performances are somewhat out of place,
especially when there is from To 10 or
II o'clock p. M. in which to practice. OF
course, il is none of our business, but the
parents feel that their children do not
have justice done them when such as this
is going on. The parents send their
children To be taught and not To sill there
aud do nothing There has been lots of
complaints made about il FROsTY.
