was not the Slightest hitch in the
Proceedings and he Went to his Death

said nothing but died with his
lips sealed as to his part in the

We, the teachers in the Public
School. most heartily commend
and endorse the action recently
taken by the Honorable Mayor
and Councilmen of Saratoga, re-
garding the Curfew Law.
We believe this fills a long felt
need, insomuch as the children
are compelled to spend the even
ings at home, where the parents
may care for and encourage them
in their school work. Again, the
parents may gain better control,
and more influence over the child
rem. who have heretofore been
playing about the streets at all
hours of the evening.
We wish to cooperate with the
parents in forwarding the best in
terests of the children. and this
step recently taken will aid us
very materially.
Wishing that during the entire
term we may work together for
the welfare of the children,
