SERGEANT SIBERT
SAYS SOME PLAIN THINGS ABOUT
CERTAIN REPORTS WHICH
CIRCULATE ON THE
STREETS.

Sergeant Sibert, in charge OF tle
local recruiting station at the Ken
yon Hotel, stated to our reporter
that his attention had been called to
some people, recently, intimating that
young men were led by spread eagle
advertisements at recruiting stations
to enlist under false pretenses, and
warning them to shun the military
service.
Sergeant Sibert states that this is
another sample of the abuse which is
often heaped upon the army without
any basis of truth whatever, and that
this rant about men being enlisted
into the army under false pretenses
was simply the result of the over
heated imagination OF some scribe
ignorant of everything connected with
the service.
Upon application for enlistment, the
would.be soldier is Informed as far
as possible of the duties that will be
required of him, and all questions are
fully answered.
The number Of applicants is so
large that Uncle Sam has no need Of
resortlng to false pretenses to induce
men to enlist, in fact, the instructions
to recruiting officers on this subject
are very strict, and one who would
enlist man under false pretenses
would be very severely dealt with.
The man who enlsts with the idea
that he will have nothing to do but
'loll around" and wear a nobby uni.
form must have an unusually well de,
velOped Imagination, and has certain
ly no knowledge Of the duties Of the
American soldier.
Compared with the lot Of the farmer
boy and the work Of most Of the Ia
borers in civil life the duties Of sol.
dler are comparatively light, but there
is enough for him to do, attending to
his daily duties, and calls, to keep
him from contracting idle habits. He
can find, however much more time
than the farmer and the ordinary la
borer to improve himself by reading
and study, If he is ambitious.
All posts and garrIsons are supplied
with papers and magazines for this
purpose.
Referring to ambition; people are
inclined to call the soldiers worthless
for his apparent lack of 1T, The Ser,

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
VILE CLOSE ON FRIDAY FOR A
TWO WEEKS VACATION
PERIOD.

All of the schools of the Fairmont
Independent district will close Friday
afternoon, the 29d instant, for a two
weeks vacation and will resume Mon
Gay, January the Sth.
Work is being pushed rapidly on the
new Fifth ward school building; a
number Of the rooms are already COM
pleted and it is the hope of the Board
that they will be able to use the new
building after the holiday vacation, as
it will relieve the contested condition
Of the Fourth ward building, where a
number of the Fifth ward children
ere now being cared for.
All of the various departments Of
the school VII have exercises appro'
pirate to the season Friday afternoon,
the programmes consisting of Christ
mas songs, recltations and plays in
which Santa Claus and all other
Christmas characters will be promi'
nent. The children have sent out in
Htations to their parents and friends
and everybody Is cordially invited t"
be present. The exercises will begin
at two O'Clock,
The pupils [. the eighth grade in
The Second ward school will give a
special programme TO their friends in
the High School chapel on Thursday
evening.
Superintendent Roster says that
there has never been time in his ex'
rerlence when the children took so
much interest in sG approaching Yule'
tide, and all seem imbued with pleas
urable anticipation of what the event
means and the pleasure to be derived
from It. From the little tots in the
kindergarten to the Oldest students.
the enthusiasm is The same, and all are
working to make the exercises the
most memorable in the history OF the
school, and the teachers are lending
every encouragement with this end in
view. Nothing ls more laudable, as to
instill in the pupil what the day means
and stands for is a part of the training
they should receive, and which many,
perhaps, do not get at home.
