Miss Pressens credit. Prof. Wadsworth

Parent to the School" He said that
parents must have interest in the school
and show it, that the lack of interest in
the parents hurts and lessons the child s
interest, and that one of the weakest
points in our educational system Is the
lack of unity between the parents and
the teachers He was followed by a solo
by Miss Cora Pressan. John A. Cone, the
superintendent of schools of Brunswick,
was next introduced and spoke of some
of the things that are hurtful to the best
interests of girls and boys. emphasizing
the novel, and comparing the best SELL
ers" of modern fiction writers with the
dime novel He was followed by Supt.
Chase of Gardiner who spoke on THE
Rights of Boys and Girls" The Music

District School
By Local People.

The District School, was present
ed Wednesday evening at the Coliseum
by local talent. The house was a Ca
pacity one. The comedy is clever
one and all parts were well taken.
The costumes were cleverly design
ed and in keeping with the parts por-
trayed by their wearers. An orches-
ira under the leadership of Df. r. A.
Hutchins, furnished selections. Mrs.
w. c. Atkins sang charmingly When
You and Were Young, Maggie" and
Ben Bolt" being accompanied by
Mrs. John Evans.
The first act showed the examination
of teachers. Charles o. Turner, who
has more than once induced a pessi-
mist to become an optimist for a
time at least, Though his histr1onic
abilities, measured fully up to his
previous record. Doll Danforth was
surely some committee man and
provoked many a roar of laughter. n.
Fl. Trafton as Mrs. Smith, the female
member of the committee, one of the
Votes for Women kind, made a de-
cided hit. G. H. Mann as suffering
Bobby O'Lee, showed clearly that one
good man has been lost to the stage.
Prof. L. II. Conant was just about
the cutest thing out of long and IN
short pants and was ably seconded
by Miss Helen Amesbury. The parts
carried by Miss Florence Mooay'
Miss Barbara Maxcy. Miss Louise
Martin and Miss Louise Nelson also
deserve especial commendatlon' MISS
Maxcys giggle being especially tetch-
ing.

| Generously they were applauded for their
fine music and the encore brought them
back again.
Then came a paper by that talented
member of Leeds Grange, Mrs. Frank
H. Herrick. It was an educational es-
say, finely written and finely deliv-
cred. She is a young woman but an
old teacher and very able. Mrs. Her
rick believes that the new system of
training is superior to the old and
she proved the statement. She was
loudly applauded at the close Of her
address.
The next number was reading by
Miss Faith Foss and 1t brought the
house down with an encore. She
proved star in her role. Miss Edna
Small followed with another reading
that brought a storm of applause.
Leslie Addition and Sylvia Barker
then gave duet music on the auto
harp and harmonica that was very
pleasing and earned for them an en-
core than was very fiattering.
Then came Miss A. E. Deane, an
other of the talented young members
of Leeds Grange and she read val
liable paper on Grange work. 1t was
closely followed and loudly applauded.
A reading by Ocena Addition follow
ed and she was promptly recalled for
another Miss Harriet Turner then
gave a piano solo and received an en-
core, to which she responded.
Then came a paper by Worthy Mas
ter E. F. Addition of Leeds Grange
that was highly appreciated. His sub
iect was Potato Culture" and 1t was
handled as an expert. From beginning
to end he was followed with close IN
terest and the applause which follow
ed told that he had struck respon-
sive chord as many potato growers
were present.
Another piano selection was then
given by Miss Alice Wing and AL
hina Farmer and again the encore
rang out over the hall. The closing
number was a vocal solo by Harry
lindsey. and a fine singer he proved
to be. This ended the program and the
general conviction was that LEEDS
Grange had plenty of fine musical and
literary talent. Certainly the members
acquitted themselves finely on this
| occasion.
On the 2Sth day of this month the
compliment will be returned and Mon
mouth Grange will visit Leeds Grange
and give the afternoon program. the
Leeds people will find that if there
are lairds in the south there are chiefs

It Is probable that some of the in
gradients, especially the essential oils,
which enter largely into the compost
ton of modern soaps, were employed
in early times for the same purpose.
Soap in the form of vegetable ashes
mixed with grease was In vogue
among the ancient Egyptians. A SINH
lar preparation was used by the He
brows. and when Jeremiah said,
Though thou wash thee with nitre
and take thee much soap" he referred
to .borak," procured from the ashes
of the saltworth and other washing
herbs" Borak is in use among the
Arabs to this day.
