own organ. There are two pianos
and an organ In the Auditorium,so
the excuse Is not very good one.
The choirs from all the churches
should have been asked to sing, not
simply one church choir. We
should not forget It's illegal to
make sectarian thing of our schools
which Is public and free for all.
We are satisfied now the whole
matter Is the result of thought
lessness and nobody interested In
tended to offend anybody but for
all that we think 1t has
been very unfortunate and marred
the pleasure many would have
enjoyed had this thing not occurred.

The Quiet Observer

strated beyond cavil and 1t
Is the universal wish that
all be retained for the ensuing
school year, 1t Is not wise to
change teachers If the ones In po-
sition are giving satisfaction. 1t
takes time for teacher to gain the
confidence of pupils and to reach
the highest effectiveness through
an Individual study of tempera-
ments and capacities. Well enough
should be let alone, and especially
so when that we'll enough goes so
far along the scale of capability as
1t does in the Sistersville schools.

The invitations to commence
ment encloses the cards of the send
ers. This is a very nice way of
conveying to the recipient the re-
membrance of the graduate and
incidentally to apprise the former
that return in the way OF a suita,
BILE gift would not be taken amiss.
And to help the thing along, Nc
Coy's Book Store has Its show
windows filled with tokens pla-
carded as appropriate for gradua-
ton. 1t may be that the inspira-
ton was furnished by the book
store.

The Observer has confidence
that the new Board of Education
will be a worthy successor of the
progressive ideas put into practical
execution by the Board that IS
soon to retire. There are no mis-
givings as to the new President, Mr..
Charles E. Bailey. His interest In
education and public spiritedness
Is proverbial and he will continue
the splendid policy of the retiring
president, Mr.W. G. Hays with
the same energy that characterized
the latter. Mr.. T. J. Buck, who
succeeds Mr.. Garman, will have an
opportunity to disprove the
unfavorable criticism he received
during his candidacy because
OF his antagonizing attitude
during previous service On the
Board. The Observer has reasons
for believing that Mr.. Buck has
learned wisdom In school matters
since his former commissionership
and will work hand in hand with
his colleagues. As for Commits
sioner Moore there Is no question
whatever as to where he stands
The best Is hardly good enough for
him. NC. R.

Commencement Is the proper
word to give to the exercises of
those who are about to leave their
alma mater for the stern realities CT
life. 1t is the commencement for
them of the battle that all must
make In this world of failure and
success, Disappointment and happi-
ness. Of course we will be told by
the graduates next Friday evening
how to overcome all life's obstacles
and make living one grand, sweet
song, and, while we all greatly
admire our seniors. we cannot &C
cept the probable inference
from their orations and essays that
the millennium will be reached soon
after they get out In the world.
TX
Our skepticism over the infalli-
bility of the graduate and his ability
to cause a great commotion In the
world when turned loose from
school, dates from our own separa-
ton from studies for mundane
strife. The title of Our Grafton was
How to Make this Great Repub.
lie Even Greater" or something to
that effect. One year later we were
by force of circumstances spreading
fertilizer over a side hill farm. The
employment may have bettered the
great Republic In that locality, but
certainly not in tie sense conveyed
by our graduating speech.

The progress made by cur
schools the past year Is very graft

the credit goes to the Board of Ed

The Reviews
Position On The
School Question.

The Review stated In substance,
In Its Saturday Issue, that we did
not think that 1t was the proper
thing to do to have the Baccaulau'
rate sermon preached In any partic'
ular church; that the city school Is
a public school and should be non
sectarian In every particular. Some
people In order to justify them
selves have misquoted us and have
tried In every way they could to
give their false construction to the
world at large.
Our city school has children In II
from every ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
lie, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist
and Ep!scopalian. If Father Boice
had preached the Baccalaureate ser
mon In the CATHOLIC church the
Protestahts. would have been very
indignant about 1t. We insist, then,
that the Catholics have the same
right and should not be forced 10
send their children to a Protestant
church to hear a sermon. We
should have had the sermon
preached lin the Auditorium, On
neutral grounds, where all could
unite ard feel perfectly free to do
so. We believe we are right in
this position. If we arr Wrong

columns of the Review are open 10

BETTER THAN PILLS.
The Gymnasium Has Cured Many .
Case of Dyspepsia.

William II. Evarts used to boast that
he had never even looked into a sym
nasium, which was his way of saying
that in his opinion gymnastics were all
nonsense. People say to me, Mr..
Evarts, you're hale and hearty when
you ought to be thinking Of your
grave and they wonder how 90 it.
Of course the secret of the haleneSs
and the heartineSs was temperance
moderation says the New York News.
No man who goes TO bed on a supper
of mince pie and Welsh rabbit and
wakes up for Il breakfast Of sausage
and buckwhear cakes and then spends
most of the day twisting from one side
of a desk to the other can long avoid
the prescription of hot water thrice Il
day before meals. Temperance" IS
one OF the words that are ridiCuled un-
til they impress themselves upon giddy
humanity with the effect Of branding
iron.
Some happy mortals like Mr.. Evarts
have no use for gymnasium, for they
find gymnastic apparatus everywhere.
The street is their half mile track; the
two flights of steps-or maybe ten
fights-are the lung developers; the
free and vigorous swing Of the arms
and the throwing out Of the chest are
as good as parallel bars.
There are men somewhat intemper-
ate in their temperance, displaying too
much Of the good thing. They crack
your knuckles when they take you by
the hand; they pound you on the back,
as if a fshbone were stuck in your
throat, and say, Brace up, old man;
you'll be round shouldered if you don't
take care"
But there is this to be said in favor
Of the gymnasium-it has cured many
q case of dyspepsia and to that extent
has made the world sweeter.
