The ladies of the Public School Improvement
League inaugurated their campaign for three mill
school tax with very delightful musical and dance
at the Southern Hotel last Friday night, June II.
Under the capable direction of Mesdames Prague and
Bodebender the affair proved both financial and
social success and was very effective means of
bringing before the people Of our ward the educa-
tional plans the ladies advocating.
That the sentiment of the large crowd present was
in favor of the tax was shown by the enthusiastic
applause which greeted the graceful remarks of DR..
Dillon, who after being introduced by DR.. Pigott,
made interesting speech explaining the great need
Of a first class school in this ward. Among other
things he: mentioned the fact that several smaller
and less prosperous localities than provided
much more literally for the education of their chill
dren, and he showed that it impossible to
competent corps of educators without having suf-
Gent funds to guarantee them nine months salary
After DIR. Dlon's address the audience was enter
