entire charge Of the school and provide
for It's maintenance.
The school is designed to be con-
Quoted along practical lines. 1t will
be a training and preparatory school
where girls will be taught the science
of cookery and other instruction nee
essary to develop practical women. The
grounds will be utilized for the culti-
vation of flowers, so that practical in
struction in botany may be afforded.
Already $4,000 of the estimated cost
of the buildings has been pledged, and
considerable more money is in sight.
Rev. ]. S. Rutlege of Glenville, has been
asked to present the matter officially
to the Northeastern Ohio conference of
the NJ. u. church, and he has taken n
great interest In the matter, being
heartily in favor of the project. The
conference will not meet until next
September, and nothing definite can be
done until that time, but in the mean
time efforts will be maze to raise the
necessary amount of money and to
create favorable sentiment for the plan
so that the conference will adopt it.
The Akron gentlemen who propose
to donate the land and part Of the
cost of the erection of the necessary
buildings are N. II. Steiner, George @.
Berry, II. T. Wilson and Fred u.
Smith, the latter being vice president
of the Second National bank of ASron.
1t Is proposed to establish Deaco-
ness training school in connection with
the institution where young women
desiring to take up that work, can re-
ceive practical and complete training.
Rev. Rutledge is personal friend
Of Mr.. Steiner. Last week he held
conference with Mr.. Steiner at Ak
ron, and he agreed to present the mat
ter to the church together with his
hearty endorsement All that is neces-
sary is for the church to accept the
proposition. This is thought to be high
ly probable. Mr.. Rutledge said yes
terday: "At the next annual confer
ence n committee will be appointed to
represent the church in consideration
of the project. In the meantime ef-
forts will be made to receive subscrip-
tons so that we can go before the
conference with something tangible
to report. l have already the grant Of
sixty acres of land in such way
that there can be no hitch on the part
Of the plans. OF course, the plan will
meet with some opposition from CO.
educational institutions, for they will
naturally anticipate it will draw from
their colleges,
II am informed that DIR. Crawford
Of Allegheny college has already re-
fused to cooperate In the enterprise.
Personally I have nothing against CO.
educational institutions, but am
thoroughly convinced that we need a
school of this kind, where our daugh.
tiers may be given practical education
along the lines suggested by the foun.
ders. cannot see how the church
can refuse the conditions and this gift
believe it will accept. shall urge
the matter all that 1 am able, The
proposed location for the school is an
ideal one and is easy of access.
II am In favor of closing some of
the colleges we have at present rather
than not to have in this largo terri.

JEFF d. Bernstein's attraction, "A
Ride For Life" will be presented at
the Grand, Saturday, Dec. 20, matinee
and night. All the scenery and me-
chanlcal properties and practical work
ing stage effects will be used ut the
Grand, as the stage is admirably
adapted for scenic production. Moth
Ing Will be cut or abbreviated.
The play In many ways diverges
from the conventional path, and has
the distinction of being novel and un-
like the majority of plots. The cast
is strong and the comedy Is in the
hands of the two brightest people on
the stage, Ross Snow and Carrie Ezer
There Is no blood and thunder but
action and sensation, natural charac-
ters In possible positions, doing SEN
siblc things, and pictures of life that
are serious and dangerous and thrill
Ing followed by fun enough to dry
the tears.
1t is rarely safe to anticipate in
matters theatrical, but when managers
have demonstrated their rntire hon.
esty by never departing from the
high standard for great stage effect
and gigantic production and upon
which they wish to base their claim
for public recognition and endorse
ment; when year after year correcting
mistakes, honestly made, they have
maintained the superior quality OF
that which they have to Offer, 1t Is not
rash or unwlsc to speak declsively in
advance. In writing of "a Ride For
Life" moreover, to descend from the
general to the particular, the element
OF doubt cuts no figure; Its success
Is known well.

Higgins beautiful Southern romance,
AT Piney Ridge" The scenes of the
play are laid amid the pine clad hills
Of Tennessee, where the people speak
with q soft drawing accent, and
where they love and hate with an
intensity the cold Northerner knows
not. The story is that Of young
white man who, when an infant had
been stolen by revengeful slave and
abandoned In the mountains, only to
be found and cared for by a mountain
woman who bequeathed him property
on which were rich deposits of iron
and coal. The opening Of the play
finds the young man rich and on the
eve of marriage to beautiful girl.
The engagement is broken Off when he
Is accused of being negro by his
rival, who is himself the one tainted
with black blood. The plot and de-
nouncement are strong and powerful
and the run of incidents exciting and
unexpected. The race question Is
handled in an unusual way. There
is quite thread of characteristic
comedy and the play is one of alb
sorbing interest. The producing com.
pany is powerful one, and the
scenery and electrical effects are novel
and beautiful. Christmas matinee and
