 SOLICITING COMMITTEE
Central Trades Council Is Interested and Gives Chairman Bloom
 Cordial Reception.

Nearly three thousand dollars was added to the pack ng house subscrip- ticn fund yesterday by the soliciting which were able to get out yesterday and secure stock subscriptions. They were T. B. Bloom and Attorney A. H. Powell. There were many small subscriptions listed during the day, which were welcomed by the com- mittee, although some of the larger nubseribers have not yet been placed on the subscription lists.

 The total amount subscribed has reached the $40,00O mark and the committee is confident that it will secure the total amount before Sat urday n'ght.
 Chairman Bloom, of the Committee, was invited to appear before the Gen. traA Trades Council last night and made an address to the representa- tives of the various locals regarding the packing house project and urged the. laboring men to subscribe, show ing them where they would be d'rect- ly benefited by Pine Bluffs growth and prosperity and especially through the establishment of the packing plant in this city. He said that the laboring men of the city ought to subscribe for a least 200 shares Of stock in the packing, company and his remarks were enthusiastically ap- plauded. MT. Bloom w'as given a most cordial reception and the labor ing men displayed the greatest ln- terelst in the pack 'ng house.
 One of the big subscribers yester- day was Fox Brothers. the big local wholesale hardware house, who sub scribed for $5C0 worth of stock, It being the second large subscription of that firm.

BOXING IN EVENING SCHOOL
euecessfuI Educational Enterprises Of
Scotch Mining Town--clerleai
Members Opposed.

BY introducing boxing to the owe
ming school curriculum the school
board OF GirkintillOck, q mining center
several miles from Glasgow. has added
to Its reputation for education enter
prise. according to the Glasgow CORE
Spondent OF the London Chronicle.
Last autumn the local community
at Kirklntillock we're agitated over a
school board proposal to institute
dancing as one of the evening school
subjects. Mr.. Thomas Johnston. q
Glasgow journalist, who was response
BILE for the proposal. carried his point
after convincing opponents tnat
whether the school board took the
initiative or not the youth OF the dis
trict would indulge In dancing. ana
that 1t was the best policy for the
school board to organize the dancing
In moral atmosphere.
To carry out this proposal the
school board used the town hall ana
employed full orchestra, and 1t was
stipulated that only those youths who
enrolled In one Of the other classes IN
the evening school would be admitted
to the dancing hall The resolution
was surprisingly successful. Such was
the increase in the number OF pupils
enrolled for the evening school that
the board gained extra grants from the
educational department in respect OF
increased attendances, which were ae-
tually sufficient to reduce the educa'
ton levy on the ratepayers.
Inspired by the success Of the dane
ing venture Mr.. tombstone urged the
desirability of boxing as an evening
school subject. With several clerical
members on the school board there
was naturally a good deal OF opposi'
ton, but Mr.. tombstone argued that
they had never attracted the type oil
individual to the evening school who
most needed this continuation school
Ing. They must get down to the level
Of these young fellows.
The discussion ended In a close
vote, and It was only by the casting
vote Of the chairman that the board
agreed to include boxing In the cur
riculum.
