competent director and his class here
is responding to his instructions in
very satisfactory manner If You
want to hear something real good and
something altogether different from
what Glenwood is ordinarily accus-
toned to you should plan to attend
the Queen Esther performance Fur

reaching Glenwood yesterday to the
effect that great damage is being done
