Opera House, Pittsburg, announces
announces another great spectacular
production The Lost Paradise a
drama of vital interest and sensational
character, will be presented next week
beginning Monday afternoon May 1st,
with the perfection Of detail that dig
tinguishes all plays at the Grand. This
drama was written by Henry DeMille
and David Belasco ut time when their
work was admitted to be be the very
best in the world The labor problem
is one that appeals to the heart of every
man, woman, and child in Western
Pennsylvania. The relations between
the workman and the capitalist are
complex and many-sided. 1t is set
forth in "The Lost Paradise" with all
the skill that is required to make it
clear to the average mind. even il it
does not reach permanent conclusion.

Butler Schools.
Extract from Prof Gibsons report to
the State Sup'd'tl

Extract from Prof Gibson's report to
the State Sup'dt.)
The year lust closed has been ore OF
generally gratifying results. The en-
rollment Of pupils shows an increase of
about ten 90 per cent. over that OF
last wear. We have experienced con
siderable difficulty in securing any ma
terial benefit from the compulsory at
tendance law. The law does not 20 taE
enough. Too high percentage OF our
pupils belong less than the whole school
term. Investigation shows that a ridic-
ulously small number of these pupils do
any considerable amount Of work. Ii It
be the object Of our school system to
benefit all classes Of society, il l. GER
tainlv mistake to permit the careless
and Indifferent TO waste high percen-
tage of the school year and negative the
good results Of the remainder by irreg-
ular attendance.
The wears work in the school room
has been fairly good The percentage
OF pupils doing a years work has been
high except in the lower grades Here
we nave been handicapped on account
of the crowded condition Of the rooms
and an epidemic Of measles which rem
inc the latter half of the year Our
school population has been increasing
so rapidly that it Is difficult to make
school accommodations keep pace Our
school board has endeavOred to remedy
this congested condition in the primary
schools by q liberal increase in the
teaching force for the coming year
We are much in need OF a new schOo!
building which will no doubt be secur-
ed so soon as possible.
General teachers meetings were
throughout the year and it
is thought some benefit resulted from
them. Considering the small salaries
received our teachers are showing a
degree Of zeal in fitting
more thoroughly for their
duties and entering into their labOrs
with a truly professional spirit. We are
with that great difficulty Of
having our trained teachers leave us; as
a result Of which we are compelled to
be continually breaking in new ones.
This consumption Of time in teaching
teachers how to teach instead OF IN
stiucting the pupils is a condition which
renders professional teaching visionary
indeed and the best results. an ever
elusive chimera. Unless there is suf-
ficent increase Of salary to hold young
people in the work, or provision is smade
for pensions in old age, the outlook
must continue to be discouraging.
During the second month Of the term
our high school was moved into its new
where it has experienced a
most successful year under the Efficient
Of Principal Sernonk ir-
vine The high school enrolment was
the largest in its history and will be
still larger next year. The graduating
class numbered 30. and from the gram
mar school 81 The high school i5 still
a full-equippea science depart
ment This we hope to secure in the
near future
