To the Patrons OF the
Dickson Public School

We are glad to report to you TIM

the School Board 10 know that We
ARE receiving the hearty support ol
ol practically all Of the parents oi
the pupila.
We regret that there Is some
complaint made now and then as
10 the management of the school.
hut II all will remember that II ~
almost impossible to conduct a
perfect school. and that systems
and practices that are agreeable to
some are often unpleasant TO others,
everyone will be more charitable IN
finding fault, ltwes the earnest de-
sire 0f thB Board to have arranged
matters 20 that we could have had
a nine.months free school this year,
but with the limited funds received
from the county aud city II was
impossible 10 do this and give free
tuition 10 those above the eighth
grade.
The State School Law provides
that studies be taught in the public
school up to and including the
eighth grade. We felt that there
were many children in Dickson who
needed instructions In studies above
the eighth grade aud we adopted
the plan OF charging tuition to all
pupils entering the ninth grade and
above. We are using the funds re-
ceiyed from this collection to pay
the teachers who teach the High
School work. We are glad TO say
that all pupils, excepting tive. have
paid their tuition for the first
months school, and we are
confident that these two will pay
when they folly understand our
reason for this action. AZ the sec
ond month OF school closed last
Friday, We earnestly request that
all owing tor tuition in the High
School grades please make pay.
ment "a early as conyenient so that
WI may be in position to keep the
teachers salaries paid up.
Before adopting this plan OF teach.
ing high school work in connection
with the free school, we advised
with the state authorities and they
informed us that charges could be
nude and that collections could be
legally enforced.
We sincerely solicit every one in
terested in the growth and success Of
our school to please lend us their
sincere good wishes and financial
assistance in making this years
school the niest prosperous ln the
history ot Dickson.

was no other than Sunny Jim, the pro-

from the sideboard, he set it before

Last Concert to
Be Held Sunday

The last Community concert of the
season will be given at O'Clock Sun
day afternoon at Library hall and the
number of artists to appear is an in
dication that one should go early if
they desire a seat. The following have
promised to appear: Miss Mildred
Wadsworth. soprano; Miss Lucy Tit
comb of Augusta, violinist; Miss
Beatrice Davenport, pianist; Keith
Ryan. tenor: w. l. Gould, bass and
trombonist. In addition to the above
Gillespie's Orchestra will play.
Nine of these concerts have been
held this winter in Library hall and
that they have been a success from
the start is amply attested by the at
tendance. There has been no charge
whatever to those attending.
The idea of these concerts was first
suggested in Gardiner by Mrs. Laura
+. Richards, who believed that some
thing of such a nature would be of
interest and benefit to a large number
TO Gardiner residents. In the work
she has been loyalty supported by the
following committee, and such affairs
cannot be brought to a successful
termination without a large amount
of work, which has been freely given.
The committee are: Keith Ryan,
chairman Miss Barbara Maxcy, Miss
Florence Morrell, Mrs. C. H. Gray,
Miss Eleanor Danforth, Miss Mar
garet Danforth, George P. Barstow,
B. w. Partridge.
Such has been the success of the
concerts that there is no doubt but

year snd it is probable that there will
be more of them in the next course.
The public certainly have Mrs. Rich
ards and the above named committee
to thank for several pleasant hours.

STOP CATARRH!
It's Dangerous Disease, Use Hyonei
1t Acts Quickly and Safely.

II you have catarrh, usually indicated
by smiling, stopped-up head, frequent
colds, watery eyes and morning choking,
there is an irritated state of the mucous
membrane lining the breathing organs
which affords an ideal condition for the
growth of disease germs
1t Is needless to allow the dangerous
germs which may be taken in with the
air you breathe, to reach the irritated
mucous membrane and begin their de-
struction of your general health.
One of the easiest, simplest and quick
est ways to check catarrh and destroy
the germs is by breathing Hyomei-the
direct-to-the- point method. No round
about process like dosing the stomach.
Hyomei is a combination of antiseptic
and germicidal oils. which, when breathed
through the inhaler, mikes with the air
and instantly penetrates into the folds
and crevices of the membrane lining the
nose, throat and bronchial tubes. 1t not
only heals, soothes and vitalizes the it's
sues, but by destroying the dangerous
germs helps you to enjoy good health.
Use Hyomei, not only for catarrh, but
for cold in the head, bronchitis, Group of
infants, or stopped-up head. It's q house
hold remedy.
Druggists everywhere sell it, and

In reporting the play, How Jim
Made Good" no mention was made
of the music. This was furnished by
Douglass Boys Orchestra" and was
of class that merited the highest
praise. The people of Hallowe1l were
gratified to find we had such talent.
This. orchestra started to practice a
year ago and at that time only one
boy had ever played an instrument.
E. C. Douglass, Maine Central station
agent, himself former orchestra
leader, has been untiring in his eff
forts to teach the boys and the re-
suit last night must have been very
gratifying to him. Not one of the
young men is over Is years old and
they are all from the best Hallowell
families. Following are the names
and instruments of the players: Carl
Douglass, first violin and leader; Carl
Dean, piano; Donald Perry, flute or
piccolo; Earl Hobbs, clarinet; Hamil-
ton Turner, trap drums.
