into early in the season with the
Temple Auditorium management
whereby the series of recitals being
given by local talent before the grade
schools should take place in that most
| conveniently situated hall, is only an
other straw indicating the need of a
properly located and especially con-

Tor committee consisting of the gov

tendent of schools and a special COM
r1sslon to be appointed by the gov
ernor. The outcome of the departure
would be that every child in the COM

would be taught to understand and
love 1t. Let the good work go ont
