Perry School of Oratory and Dramatic
Art, st. Louis, Mo.

The fall attendance at the Perry School.
devoted TO public speaking, dramatic and
kindred subjects, promises TO surpass previ-
Gus records. The school has been located
for five years in commodious quarters at
the Y. VI. c. a. building, corner Grand and
Franklin avenues.
1t is a most unique school, taking the
time Of Mr.. Perry and one or TWO assis-
tants 10 train young ladies and gentlemen
in the art of using their bodies and voices
so they will be graceful and willing
servants OF their owner. 1t is here many
go for physical training and exercise. Many
society women need different exercise from
dancing and driving, and here they are pro-
Vided with a teacher who can give them
the kind of exercise their health demands.
Both men and women in the higher walks
of life, as well as young people just out of
school, find at this school the training they
desire in order to appear before their lodge
or social club and make a creditable ad-
dress. The president. Edward p. Perry, has
by training, experience, acquaintance and
reputation placed this school in the front
rank of schools of EXPRESSION formed in the
large cities. A large proportion of his grad
yates are successful on the lecture plat
form and stage also as public readers and
teachers. This Is largely because of the
personal attention as well as close drill
received by attendants in this school. The
recitals given by every pupil at graduation,
also the many public recitals held during
the two years course, give students conf
dence before audiences. and acquaint the
public with the natural way they are
trained. The school year opens Wednesday,
September 10.

william Jewell College,, Liberty, Mo.

In Missouri the BaptiStS were the first to
make provisions for the higher education.
and they have at Liberty the best endowed
and the most largely attended college in
the State. William Jewell College is named
in honor of William Jewell, NJ. D., a native
of Loudoun County, Virginia, and a dis
~tinguished physician of Columbia, Mo. He
was the first to propose the establishment
of a Baptist college in this State, and con-
tributed largely to its endowment. 1t
was founded in 1919. 1t has ten excellent
buildings, including one of the finest gym
nasiums in the West, and twenty-eight in
structors. Probably 1t has educated, and

istry than all other colleges in the West
combined. There is hardly a State in the
honorable places in all the callings and pur-
suits of life. The college is located in the
healthful and beautiful town of Liberty,
noted for its schools and churches, and is
fifteen miles northeast of Kansas City, on
the Burlington and the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroads. The Reverend Doc
tor John P. Greene, d. D., Ii. D.. is presi-
dent. The buildings have waterworks,
steam heat, electric lights and are modern
in all appointments. William Jewell is pro-

for practical electrical work is exception

need of such an Institution for developing

In 1892 Frederick w. V. Blees became
| owner of the st. James Military Academy OF
Macon. This institution was opened IN 1917,
and had suffered various fortunes until Mr..
Blees took charge. After conducting the
school for five years he was forced by i'll
health and pressure of business duties to
give up school work for a time. On June II,
1891. the corner stone of Blees Military
Academy was laid. The plan was TO create
a boys school. comprehensive in scope ard
complete in material, mental and moral
equipment. The college buildings are new
and modernly equipped. The academy
grounds comprise 700 acres. The main build
ing, called Academy Hall. contains the adj
mihistrative offices, section-room, living
rooms, laboratories, library. manual train
ing shops and mess hall. The annex ON
tains the kitchen, laundry. lighting plant

dition to the usual fittings, has u large
swimming pool.
The course OF study covers six years, with
a preliminary year for those who have sat
isied the entrance requirements, but are
unable to do the regular work of the sixth
class. The discipline is of the best, char
acteristic OF that system of school discipline
called military. The superintendent says
that it is a completely equipped preparatory
school for boys and comparison with other
military schools will prove this institution

On the excellence of its equipments, the

The following comes from a former COM

cupied prominent positions in several other
military schools of the West, and who is
and oldest in the United States. He says:

school, in which every part Of a boys

The B. H. NJ. A. enrolls among its cadets
boys from 10 to 20 years of age, all of whom
enjoy the advantages of a home, as well as
of a school frst-class in all respects. The
recent enlargement in accommodations will
admit of an increase in patronage. Such

Of galvanized iron or steel, copper or
tin. They are usually supported on iron
arches lined with brick. but sometimes
the arches are made entirely Of brick.
Storage tanks. draw tanks. sirup tanks,

it will not rust. Bucket covers can be

Take a sugar place of 5000 trees or,
rather, one that uses 5000 buckets.
When the "boss" thinks it is time to

trees. A three eighths or one-half inch
bit is used, and in large trees the hole
Is bored about two inches deep, in
smaller trees only about one and half
inches. Spouts are driven or screwed
In, buckets hung to each spout and
covers, il they have them.
Some trees are tapped in two or three
bucket to each spout of course. Then,
the weather being right. the sap runs,
and the teams are started as soon as
possible, for the quicker the sap is
made into sugar the better the sugar is.
Men with pals holding sixteen
quarts go to each tree, collect the sap
and empty it into the draw tank,
which is being hauled about on a
sugar sled" by a pair of horses. These
tanks hold anywhere from twenty-fi five
to fifty pailfuls. When load is se-
cured. the team is driven to the sugar
house. and the sap, by means Of four
inch pipes. is drawn from the draw
tank to the storage tank.
The storage tanks are phced on a
staging on the outside of the sugar
house and connected with the eyap-
orators by rubber hose or iron pipe,
the flow of sap from storage tank to
evaporators being regulated by auto

LINING. in LONDO
Z Is Not a Good Place For Man of
Small Income.

f.tE (. 4
An. American who in the classical
language of his country is at present
.'located" in London wants to know
whether any city in the world is quite
80 niggardly as our town. He has
been going the round of the London
restaurants and has encountered in the
mana cement of them a spirit which
distresses him. ''There is. to begin
with" he says, ga charge of from two
pence to sixpence for guarding your
hat and coat in the cloakroom, and a
tip in addition is expected. You want
to wash your hands another twopence
or another sixpence and another tip.
You take up the menu, and, behold,
there is an intimation that a charge of
threepence each person will be made
under the guise Of table money The
charge varies according to the nature
of the place. Threepence is the lowest
and sixpence perhaps the average. At
a great many restaurants it is 1 shil-
ling and in at least two that I have Wis
tied Is. Cd. The only difference is
that in the lower priced restaurants it
is called table money and in the high
er priced ones placed under the capti-
waiting heading of convert To my
mind, an entrance fee frankly demand
ed at the door would be much less Of
fensive than to find yourself asked at
the end of a dinner to pay for the trou-
BILE and expense of cleaning up the cut
lery you have used"
His conclusion of the whole matter is
that London lives by imposing a fixed
tariff on the accessories that in every
other city I have ever been to are
thrown in gratis" and he thinks that
being a gentleman is one of the most
expensive professions an Englishman
can have. He declares it to be an ut
place to live in. "For the poor man. y
he says. ''the man whose income is less
than $500 a year, there is no city where
less can be had in the way of comforts
and even the necessities of life. In
New York it is only the luxuries that
cost. The expenses of everyday living
may be as great or as small as one
cares to make them. New York, in
fact. is laid out for the poor man.
From the transportation system to the
price of such fundamental charges on
the household treasury as coal, ice,
fuel, meat, bread, milk and fruit, al
most everything conspires to bring him
in good return for a very small out
lay. All these things are cheaper in
New York than in London" ."-London
