THE PLAY ITSELF WAS GOOD.
That Much, at Least, the Actor Critic
 Had to Admit.


 Had to Admit.
 John Hare. the English actor, once went to see one of Beerbohm Trees fnfrequent performances of Hamlet He would willingly have avoided Tree for some little time afterward for req sons obvious to others who. like him. had seen this least impressive of this actors rOles
 Hare chvalrously remained in his box to the end of the play. As the curtain descended on each act he had dreaded the invitation of his fellow player to his dressing room, where the usual courtesies would have been ex- pected.
 Act by act slipped by without any word from the stage, and Hare grew proportionately relieved. AS the last curtain fell, however, and Hare retired from the box he found messenger at the door with "Mr. Trees compliments, and wouldn't he come home for bite of supper with some friends?"
 At table Hare parried opening after opening, yet not once did Tree refer directly to his Hamlet Hare on his part dreaded every break in the con versation would bring the dreaded top ic. After decent time he drew away from table to go home. Tree accom-. panied him to the hall to put on his coat "Now's my hour." thought Hare Not one word from Tree. They shook hands on the threshold, and Hare start ed down the steps in happy relief Tree followed him to his carriage Hare heard him in dread. Still the topic was avoided. Tree, with cordial courtesy, opened the door. Hare slip ped into the cushions of the carriage, joyfully heard the door slam and drew a deep sigh.
 But before the horses started Trees head was in at the window, and he said, with blighting suavity:
 At least, John, you'll admit it's a good play

ONE OF THE EVILS OF ir.S

This paragraph frcm the editorial
columns OF the Tampa Times might
have been Intended fo- a joke.
"a Tampa man went into saloon
Saturday to get a cheap and quiet
glass Of beer While there he saw
fellow who had owed him small
bill for six months for which he had
been asked five times. come in and
blow fifty cents for good straight
whiskey for a crowd He had to step
cut Of doors right quick to~avoid
bursting a blood vessel or emitting
assault with intent TO KILL
But really it is no Joke: it is not
in the least remarkable and it is one
of the many reason why the open
barroom was curse TO a very large
percentage of people in Georgia. The
man who has It in his head and in
his heart to blow his money for
whiskey, why he is going to do it and
such little things as honest obliga-
ton cut not the slightest figure with
him.
j IS fact beyond question and
it is being shown day by day all
over the state of Georgia that the
prohibition law is doing great work
Tor a certain cl@ss of men Who could
not control their appetite for whisky
and who bought it at the sacrifie Of
every other thing on earth. Il is one
thing for the gentleman OF money
and leisure TO have his whisky and
have it as often as he wants it, but
It is quite another case. when the
poor devil who has his mind soaked
with it. lodges his duty to his wife
and child to all ties TO satisfy his
Unsuitable greed for it, o.,.,rs
There is nothing funny and moth
ing of remarkable In the Times in,
ciaent, il happens even day in the.

The average daily attendance
this year for the first month Is
375; last year 362. This first
month has been a record breaker
for perfect attendance, there be-
ing 204 who have not missed an
hour of school work. The per-
cent of attendance is higher than
that of best month last year. The
percent for first month this year
is "a; for first month last year, %.
The attention of parents is
called to the fact that we have 19
tardies for this first month. That
is not a bad record for 404 pupils,
when we remember that there
are two chances each day for each
of them to be tardy. But there
were only 16 tardies the first
month last year, The greater
portion of those 19 tardies which
mar our record were made by pu-
pills in the lower grades. Per-
haps a little encouragement at
home will help the little tots not
to loiter on their way to school,
We take it for granted that the
children are started from home
in ample time not to be tardy.
Our rules in regard to excuses
mahbe made known to the par
ents through the kindnes OF our
printers. We find it necessary in
case of absence on the part OF the
pupil, to ask for a written excuse
from parents or guardian. For
that purpose we send out blanks
with the pupils requesting them
to be returned to us with excuse
written in. In like manner we
can excuse tardies when a writ
ten statement or a telephone mes
sage from the parent makes it
possible.
You are invited to visit our
schools. The Board of Education
and the teachers invite the CO.
operation of all who have part
or interest in our schools.
