HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

IN HERE can be no question of doubt that no
i other man in the history Of this great eoun-
try is so well remembered as he who was born
one hundred and seventy-hve years ago to-day
and became the first President.
1t would be nonsense to tell the history OF his
life. Every school child is familiar with it. As
an example George Washington has been so
often held up to the youth of this country that it
is almost impossible to tell anyone who has lived
since his time Of any virtues OF which he was not
possessed
1t is meet and fitting, therefore, that we should
celebrate the day upon which he was given to us.
Let the bands play and the flags float to the
breeze while we raise cheering cup in honor OF
the Matchess Man of his time.
Bancroft in his history of the United States,
saws of the excellent man who was the first head
Of our government: 'Never in the tide OF time
has any man lived who had in so great degree
the almost divine faculty to command the conf
dence OF his fellow man"
The wonderful gathering of States, grown from
the few brought together by Washington, is a
monument more lasting than that ever placed to
the memory of man.
Surely he is FIRST in all the best things we can
think OF any individual, living or dead.

Two Days of Each Vacation Month
to be Given to the Children Next
Year.

The second and final children's play
day of the year hetd at Lincoln park
FRIDAY, far surpassed the greatest ex-
pectations OF even the enthusiastic
park superintendent. 1t was indeed
grand sight to see hum
dreds of children ranging in ages
from six to ten years, as they en-
joyed the out door festivities which
had been 50 carefully planned by
park superintendent Addison Balm.
1T Is estimated that fully fifteen hun
dred children assembled at the park
early Friday morning and the frolic
continued all day long until the shad-
ows of night drove them TO their
homes. A larger ana more agreeable
assembly of children never before
assembled in the history of Marion.
"A particular notable feature of the
occasion was the tent house which
was christened The Child's Hospit-
al" Mr.. Balm haG staked a large
tent and filled it with cots for the
purpose of accommodating Sleepy
babies and children. The beds were
full throughout the afternoon, the
smaller children finding the place a
comfortable retreat after they had
played until they were fatigued.
Three merry go-rounds were busy
throughout the day. The sand pit
furnished amusement for the small
er children while the larger boys and
girls amused themselves at throw
ing at the babies and playing base
ball. In the afternoon little cir $
aeld doll show and several hundred
of the flaxen haired dolls were on
display.
The day passed without an accident
TO mar the pleasures. 1t Is e%pectea
that next season, the park superin.
tendent will set aside two days OF
each month for the accommodation o'
the children.

VERY WRONG IMPRESSION

Teachers are Being Assigned Today
and Everything will be In Ship
Shape by Monday.

Local officials of the schools are
anxious that the public distinctly un-
derstand that the schools of the city
will be opened Monday after the three
| months summer vacation. There
seems, according to the statements of
the officials, to be somewhat of a mis-
| understanding abroad concerning b e
| opening of school and some seem of
the opinion that as there are some lit
tie matters, which are not yet in
complete order, the schools will not
be ready. However Monday the
children will be expected to come to
the school buildings as usual and re-
ceive their instructions as to text
books and their places in the schools.
Monday the children will buy their
books and be assigned and Tuesday

WANT TO WORK
ON SUNDAY TOO
Fire Escapes Cannot be Com
pleted on Time.
Schools will be Inconvenience 10
Some Extent by the
Work.

II appears that trouble may be
experienced by the local Board Oh
Education and the Anchor Fence
and Manufacturing company, Vi
Cleveland, which has the contract Tor
the construction of the fire escapes
ON the local school buildings. The
company, when the contract was
given, gave bond for $1,000 for the
proper construction OF the escapes
by the time OF the opening OF school
Tuesday the schools will open
proper and the time for the con-
test to be filled will have elapsed,
vet the escapes win not in all prob
ability be completed. The officials
in charge desire to- work on Sunday
in order that the contract may be
filled but Mayor Lewis Scherff, 1t is
believed, will not permit this action
in order to accomplish the work. The
contracting firm was very late in
getting its escapes to this city.
The escapes at the Central and
High school buildings are far from
completed and it win be necessary
to make holes through the walls af-
ter the opening of school in order
TO place them in position. This
places the rooms in an extremely
dirty condition and it is very nearly
unfit for the schools to hold their
sessions. One of the escapes at
Central broke in several pieces last
week, while being constructed and
mach time was lost 1t was repaired
with planks.
Although It is believed that In
spector Morgan will not take any
action as the escapes will be well
started, there may be much difficulty
yet TO be experienced by the board
and the contractors II the escapes
are not up. According to one of the
ianitors the work cannot be placed
in the conditions in which 1t should
be within the next week The board
NAV, however, extend the time limit
and If the escapes are properly con-
structed make no charges against the
company,
