MEETING BETWEEN HALL
GAME AND MAXIM GORKy

Hall Game is brought suddenly in
to the International limelight by the
cabled digest of the discussion of the
presentation at Irving's old theater
| in London of a new dramatic version
of THE Christian In the English
weekly sheets now arriving there is
a lot of testing over the accounts of
the recent meeting between Game and
Maxim Gorky at the London Empire
Music hall.
The Russian novelist does not
speak more than hundred words of
English and the ManXman is less
abundantly qualified to use the Ian
guage of Turgenev and Tostoy; but
both speak French readily, and the
encounter was memorable. That
they should have been seen at all at
the most popular resort in London
of the beauty and levity of the half
world, has dismayed some of Mr..
Gaines non-conformist admirers; but
the author of THE Christian" says
he could not portray a good woman
unless he had met one and that the
same law applies in portraying the
bad women. Gorky asked him what
was the good of portraying bad
woman at all. Caine replied "Why,
man, live in England. My country
men know all about virtue, and that's
why they are so deucedly curious to
know all the temptations that develop
it,"
They were introduced on this occa-
sion by no less sedate a parsonage
than the London Public Librarian
man of much erudition. One of the
cartoonists depicts the trio strolling
along the promenade" of the Empire
and engaged in their sociological
studies.
Gorky was inquisitive as to the
production. then forthcoming, in New
York of a dramatic version of Anna
Karenina." He declared Tolstoy's
story to be the finest novel ever
written" Game took snuff so
the testers say, as this is John Bulls
thought that anything finer than
anywhere was not to his humor.
When the polite Gorky added that
THE Christian" was the most popu-
lar foreign novel in Russia and that
as drama it had been played for
some years, Game rallied at the i'm
moral audacity' of a people that
would do that sort of thing and for
get to give "recompense for edifica-
ton" in the form of royalties. Gorky
answered: Moral results should be
enough for an author who goes be-
yond his home market Game took
snuff again

made to you to give to them every
available opportunity for improve
ment. Begin at once by seeing that
they enter school the first day and
attend regularly and punctually
throughout the term. Irregularity in
attendance weakens ambition and
blights the most promising future.
Encouragement is ever a wholesome
tonic.
The schools of Ely will open with
five teachers, all of whom are eX-
perienced and capable of doing High
school work. A course of study is
being prepared which, when COM
pleted, will meet the requirements
for entrance to craftsmanship at the
State University of Nevada This is
an admirable feature in the new re
gime and supplies long-felt want.
The High school course will in
clude, in mathematics, arithmetic, al
zebra and geometry; in language,
English, Latin and French; in
science, chemistry, physics, physiol-
ogy and physical geography. The
course will also include bookkeeping,
civil government and penmanship.
the course of study laid down will be
given High school diploma. How
ever, special students may make their
own selection from the studies offer
ed in the course, but can not gradu-
ate without having taken them all.
1t is not we'll to omit any study in
the course and students are given
this permission only when circum-
stances are such that it may be
deemed advisable, and not then till
after permit has been obtained
from the board of trustees and the
principal.
There will be found in Ely a large
number of pupils whose educational
advantages have been interrupted by
the frequent change of place of resi-
dence. Such pupils should not hest
tate to enter because they may feel
that they are behind. 1t should be
remembered that no pupil ever gets
so far behind that he does not have
company and not infrequenIly good
company, too. Parents of such chill
dren are invited to confer with the
teacher or principal. Such hindrances
are easily removed.
| Notwithstanding the fact that the
board of trustees has done every
thing that could be desired to give tC
the city of Ely the coming year 6
school whose educational advantage
may be inferior to none in the state
of Nevada, many children have de
parted for the east and for the west
