Maurice Campbell will present Henrietta
Crosman in the musical play
THE CHRISTIAN PILGRIM"
A remarkable production, adapted from
Bunyan's "The Pilgrims Progress by
James Macarthur, with music by William
Furst.
The dramatic event of the current sea-
son will undoubtedly be the exceptional
dramatic offering, ''rhe Christian Pill
grim" in which Henrietta Crosman ap-
pears this season.
The stage arrangement of the play has
taken over two years of study end work,
and the evolution of the play, which is
stupendous in its dramatic, musical and
pictorial advantages, will prove reve,
lation.
The play is in 1--WE acts and clever
scenes, with cast that calls for more
than one hundred people, including az
orchestra of forty, a chorus of fifty anc
a ballet, besides scores Of actors. Miss
Crosman will assume the hose and doub
let and appear as Christian, with Tyrone
Power in the principal male dramatic role
Others in leading roles include w. T.
Carleton, Addison Pitt, Edward Mackey
Bertha Harmon and others.
'The Christian Pilgrim" will really bt

Governor Hughes to Students.

During his recent trip to Gettysburg,
on the occasion of the dedication of the
monument to General Greene, Governor
Hughes, of New York, was invited by
Getty sburg College to speak to the stud
ents. He accepted the invitation, but
requested that it be purely an informal
affair. In accordance with his wish, the
students, about 900 in number, gathered
before Recitation Hall, and he addressed
them in the open air. The students of
the college gave him a reception, as only
college students can: college songs and
yells were generously given; the Govern
or seemed to be particularly pleased with
the disnified swing Of the "Rah, Rah,
Gettysburgia. Enthusiasm ran high,
and it is to be doubted whether the Gov
ernor ever had a more appreciative audi
ence. The student body Of Gettysburg
College, who had the privilege Of hearing
for fifteen minutes friendly and mastery
counsel from one of the most prominent
citizens of the country, took away an i'm
preston that they will never forget.

Chancc LII Schools.

Some important changes were made in
the course of study of the High Schools
throughout the county, to be put in force
as rapidly as possible, so as not to inter-
fere materially with the work of those
who have partially completed the pres
ent course. A four-year course of study
was adopted for the completion OF the
academic and commercial courses, this
full course being carried out only in the
Frederick schools. The other high schools
in the county will teach the first three
years of the academic and commercial
courses for all students desiring to enter
college or wishing to pursue the academ-
ic studies, and upon the completion of
these three years work certificate will
be issued, stating this fact, which GER
tifcate will entitle them to enter the
fourth year in the central high school at
Frederick. In addition to this. an agri-
cultural or practical course is provided
for all the schools, but especially for
those located outside of Frederick. This
course will be three years course, and
pupils completing the course will be given
diplomas, and graduated from the differ
ent high schools as heretofore. This ar
rangement was inaugurated as step
toward giving the boys and girls of the
different schools who do not desire to
continue their studies beyond the public
schools, an opportunity to get a full, well
rounded, practical course, without being
burdened by the study of any languages,
and at the same time to give those who
desire to attend college an opportunity
to get greater part of this preparation
in the rural high school, and then an OPP
portunity to complete the full course in
the central high school at Frederick. In
this way, it is believed, that the high
school having but one teacher can cover
thoroughly the work laid down-a thing
impossible to do with full four years
course.
1t has been realized for some time that
the sixth and seventh grades of the pub
lie schools have been overcrowded. Fol-
lowing out the suggestions of the STATE
Board Of Education in this department,
as well as adopting four years course
for the high schools, the board decided
to drop from the sixth grade as text
book Maryland, History, Civil Govern.
ment and Elementary physics, and in the
seventh grade, substitute Maryland his
tory and civics for the United States his
tory; to eliminate plane geometry from
all the elementary schools and algebr:
from all one-teacher schools leaving thu
teaching of algebra optional with thu
teacher in schools having two or more
teachers. The study of physiology will
be made more desirable by the elimina
ton of the advanced text and the substi
tuition of primary book which is to pre-
pare for the Essentials in Physiology
now In use.

Thomas A. Edison, the great American
inventor, says Gully eighty per cent of
the illness of mankind comes from eating
improper food or too much food; people
are inclined to over-indulge themselves. !"
This is where Indigestion finds it's begin
ming in nearly every case. The stomach
can do just so much work and no more,
and when you overload it, or when you
eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive
organs cannot possibly do the work de-
manded of them. It is at such times
that the stomach needs help; it demands
help, and warns you by headaches, belch-
Ing, sour stomach, nausea and indestion.
You should attend to this at once by TAX
ing something that will actually do the
work for the stomach. Kodol will dc
this. 1t is a combination of natural di.
gestants and vegetable acids and contains
the same juices found in healthy stom.
