The electric railway company owns

school district officers held at
the courthouse last Saturday
there was a good attendance,
some seventy-fiye representa-
tives being present from the
different parts of the county.
School matters were quite gen.
orally discussed. It was the
general sentiment that the
schedule of teachers salaries
for the second grade should be
changed to from $40 to S45; the
first grade to remain at $45 to
$50 and the third grade also to
remain at the same, $50 to $35.
It was the general opinion that
the age for compulsory attend.
ance at school should be changed
from 8 to IA to 8 to 16. The
matter of heating and ventilat-
ing the school rooms was dis
cussed, and the question of con-
solidating and centralizing was
thoroughly talked over, and the
general opinion expressed that
wherever possible the schools
should be consolidated and thus
larger schools and better equip
ment provided.

Christian Endeavor Society, In
| presenting the second number
in their course make the follow.
ing announcements:
One of the most universally
popular attractions with lyceum
audiences is a first class male
quartette and a reader. We
present to our partons the
Columbian Male Quartette and
Miss Shipp in response TO the
demand for quartette company,
every member of which is an
artist. It is a splendid attrac-
tion. The quartette has toured
Canada and the States very ex-
tensively and appeared in some
of the largest and best city
courses in the country. Their
individual work is most excellent.
Mr.. Hugh Harter, first tenor,
has remarkably high lyric
tenor which fits him for the part
in the QUARTET. He possesses
unusual dramatic power and is
a soloist of rare ability. He has
had training from some of the
best masters in this country, one
of them being Herman Devries,
recently with the Grau Grand
Opera Company.
Mr.. Will Shrier, the second
tenor, has a voice of splen did
quality and unusual sweetness.
His natural talent, supplemented
by a thorough musical training,
well qualities him for his place in
this versatile quartette.
Mr.. L. T. Button is the pos
SCISSOR of deep, rich bass voice,
which he uses to good effect in
the quartette.
Mr.. A. w. Cords, first bass.
musical director, and manager
OF the quartette, possesses 3
rich resonate voice, under per-
feet control, and his wide mus
ical experience has enabled him
to place the quartette as one Of
the best on the platform today.
His solos, both vocal and on the
piano. are distinct feature of
the program.
Miss Fisher Shipp is a beauti-
full young woman of remarkable
versatility and power. Her
striking presence, graceful ad-
dress and choice of appropriate
selections make her mistress of
the art of entertaining.
We are glad to be able to pre-
sent so strong an attraction to
our patrons.
