Praise For MarshaIltown Girl.

The West Summerland, 3. c., Re
view, in speaking of a recital given by
the advanced music pupils and faculty
Of Okanagan College, gives warm
praise to a former Marshalltown girl
who appeared in four numbers at the
close OF the program. The Review
says: perhaps the event of the even
ing was the appearance in piano num-
bers of Miss Loa Scheeler. She proved
that she could handle the piano with
true artists touch. and round after
round of we'll deserved applause
greeted her performance"
Miss Scheeler, who is the daughter
Of MIR. and Mrs. c. j. Scheeler, has
been a member of the O'Kanagan Col
lege faculty during most Of the presen,
school year, teaching piano. She is also
leader Of an orchestra of eight pieces
in the Baptist church of West Sum
merland, playing first violin part OF the
time with the orchestra. Her many
Marshalltown friends will be please
to hear Of her success.

NO INTERscAooL MEET.
Boys Of Wards Not to Have Chance to
Compete in Athletic Events.

BOYS OF WARDS NOt 10 T1dSo SuAbS0 "
Compete in Athletic Events.
A field and track meet OF the grad
ed schools of the city is not to be held
this spring. Last year the meet was
not held, and it is probable that no
! similar events between the boys OF the
graded schools Of the city will be held
in future years. Superintendent Palmer
submitted to the principals the ques-
ton Of whether the meet should be
held this year and they were not in
favor of it.
Other things however. we're even
more influential in deciding the ques-
ton. Miss Jessie Hall, principal Of the
Woodbury. school, is away from her
work on account Of sickness, which
makes it scarcely feasible to attempt
the meet so far as that school is con-
cerned. But chief of all is the unequal
division Of older boys in the various
ward buildings. The First ward and
Arson schools have practically no
chance in the field meet for the reason
they do not have the higher grades
that are attended by boys as in the
other schools. These older boys win the
most of the events.
Superintendent Palmer, with the CO.
operation Of the schools, has estab-
lished what is expected to be a substi-
tute, at least in part for the field meet.
Horizontal bars, teeters and swings
have been set up on all the school
grounds, and in addition at the Abb
bolt school basket ball ground for
the boys and a croquet ground for the
girls has been made. A system of reg
ular training is to be established for
some of this apparatus and those pu-
pills who attain a certain proficiency in
performing on them are to be reward
ed by being given medals.
