Calls Board Immoral.

Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch thinks the
BOARD of Education is "a most immoral
force" and that Justice Seabury should
receive the thanks of the community Tor
curbing it,
Most immoral she said. Ito permit
teachers to marry and then say they
mustn't have children. Why should they
interfere with the private affairs OF teach
ers as long as they perform their duties?
We don't say that the members of the
Board of Education mustn't marry and
have children. They may marry teachers
If they like, and have large families,
and we won't even pass resolution
against it.
"As to Justice Seabury's decision, ! eX-
pected it, for l don't see how he could
have done anything else. AS he says, ma
ternity is a natural consequence Of mar
riage, and to permit marriage and forbid
maternity is a course for which there is
no ground in law"
Henrietta Rodman, the Wadlegh High
School teacher, who in private life is
married woman herself, hut not a mother,
was the one upholder OF teacher-mothers'
rights who showed excitement over JUS
tice Seabury's decision. She was quite
jubilant.

England as a turkey raising centre in the

Virginia turkeys are very choice. But

dealer in groceries, a restaurant
and barber-shop, on Johnson

was given TO a large and delight
ed audience of our people.
Monday morning at 10 o'clock
the Spring Time Recital was fault
lessly rendered by the Grammar
Grades at the auditorium, where
the pupils participating reflected
great credit not only upon them
selves but their instructors alike,
Monday evening at $3.50 o'clock
"iiswatha," a drama in five acts,
was given by pupils Of the High
School at tit1 new Greenwood
Theatre before one OF the largest
crowds that has ever graced that
popular place of amusement, This
charming play was executed in a
most entertaining manner, and
the audience evidenced its high
appreciation by frequent enthusi-
astic applause, Sam keesler as
"Hiawatha" and Ouida Barnes as
"Minnehaha" were superb, their
support excellent, and the cos
tunes were unique and appro-
pirate for the proper rendition Of
the different acts.
The Graduating Exercises took
place Tuesday evening, $50 pm,
at the school auditorium, where
a large assemblage of the friends
and patrons Of the school were
present to witness the splendid

carried out. After an appropriate

manner Mr.. Hills ad-
dress was literally teeming with
good, sound, every day common
sense to the members of the
graduating class and to the youth
Of the country generally, and from
the close attention given his re-
marks by the vast audience, we
are confident the advice given
will bear good fruit. Mr.. Hill
paid a beautiful tribute to the
craftsmanship Of such men as
Lee, Davis, Lamar, George and
Walthall, but his arraignment of
the present day political dema-
gogue and blatherskite was sim
ply scathing and terrific.
Next a Fairy Waltz was rem
dered by the high school pupils.
