All great men are witty, but all wits

Barbecue a Success
Fine Fat and Juicy Meats and a
Royal Good Time

The barbecue given by the
Christian Ladies Aid Society in
Spark S pasture last evening was a
grand success. 1t was one Of the
most enjoyable church affairs that
has ever been given i'll the city
Henry Johnson and Buck Sparks
were chief cooks and they showed
themselves masters Of the art. Mr..
Sparks made the coffee and the
mysterious stew and Mr. john
son cooked and served the meats.
More juicy meats never tickled a
hungry mans palate than those
served here. The ladies served
all their guests most bountifully.
A large number attended the
barbecue. A partial list was fur
nished for the EXPRESS, but owing
to its incompletness the list is not
published II is sufficient to say
that the number was representative
Of the best people in town, young
and old and all were enthusiastic
in their approval Of the barbecue.

There has been adopted in Philsdel-
phia grand system of teaching civics
which has been complimented by
teachers in all parts of the country.
To familiarize the children with TIE
modus opersndi of city government
each school building is established as
mimic city. The various classes are
designated as wards. and elect mem
bers to the Council. The school at
large elects Mayor and such other Of
ficials as are elected in the city OF
Philadelphia at large. The Mayor ap-
points Directors of various departments
and these report to him in regular
form The city government is put in
operation after the regular school ses-
sion closes each day. Twice n week
the City Council holds regular ses-
sion for at least 20 minutes.
Such a plan to fsmiliarize the fu-
ture officials of the cities. who are now
attending the public schools. with the
duties of state craft might well be
adopted by every enterprising city
School Board in the country.
