LET UstfAvE A KINDERGARTEN.

The School Board of this parish at
its meeting on Thursday voted to
discontinue the Kindergarten depart.
ment of the Franklin High School.
Owing to the rapid development of
all the schools Of tue Parish, the
Board felt it's absolute inability to
keep up the efficiency of these
schools and also to retain the Kinder.
garten system. While this is a
matter of much regret to all interest
ed in the educational standard OF
our Parish school system it falls
upon the people of this community
as personal deprivation. One
years work in our midst has endeared
the system to our people, and the
mind training and nature developing
process of its children have opened
the eyes of the investigator to its
high value as an adjunct Of the public
school system. The community has
been deeply stirred by this announce
ment and feels that 4 backward step
is being taken and something must
be done at once to prevent it.
While recognizing the present
inability of the Board to provide for
the kindergarten system out of its
funds next session, we do not re-
cognize their continued inability to
do SO. In fact different school
officials have assured US that the
Board will be we'll able after this
session to provide for the Parish
kindergarten system as originally
contemplated. THE PEOPLE OF
FRANKLIN MUST BRIDGE THE GAP.
The Franklin kindergarten must
be sustained by the people next
session. The thought of discon-
tinuance must not be tolerated
even for single school session.
1t will take 500 to do it and it must
be raised at once. Here ia a starter.

"BOxlng Day" In England

Boxing Day" in the good old
fashioned way. The day following
Christmas continues to be the day of
real celebration for the English mas
ses, despite the assertions from some
quarters that the custom is on the
wane.
With today's superb pantomimic
productions at the Drury Lane theatre
and the hippodrome, it can hardly be
said that the old form of Christmas
amusement is losing its hold on the
public taste. Still it is to be regard
ed as sign of the times that there
are fewer pantomimes to be seen in
