POPULAR RECREATION
MOVEMENT

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. The
Peoples Recreation Company has to-
day applied to Governor Tener for a
charter to establish a nain of dance
halls, moving picture and amuse-
ment places throughout the city.
The movement was set on foot by
well known women, and backed by
men prominent in business life, to
furnish these better class places for
the young people Of the city. The
halls will be run on a business basis
and admission fees similar to those
paid in other dance halls will be
charged, for it is not the intention
of the organization to start out as
reformers or philanthropists. Their
idea is to provide clean places Of
amusement decently run, where the
younger people of the city may meet
without coming into contact with
those whose influence might prove
harmful.

FORCE SENATE FIGHT

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 9.-Both
Governor Dunno and Mayor Harri-
son of Chicago have been invited to
the anti-Sullivan senatorial candi-
dacy banquet here tonight. Their at

mean that under certain circum-
stances they will be prepared to sup
port Sullivan. The movements of
the governor and mayor today are
watched with much interest.

an expense that has to be met in
many Of the mining tracts where
boulders and hard rocks are found
that the overburden cannot be re-
moved without the employment Of

DO you expect your children to be
promoted? 1t is an evident fact that,
unless few parents look after their
children better in the future than
in the past this school will return
to you at the close of the school year
children who have failed.
Two quarterly examinations have
passed and more than the average
number of pupils are above the re-
quirements of this school. In order
for pupils to be promoted, they must
make a scholarship average Of Is per
cent first averaged, 80 per cent in
the last general average, and not be-
low 60 per cent on any subject. An
other quarterly examination will be
given in three weeks. Examine your
child's report card; encourage it in
every possible way. Your hand will
write on the life OF your child the
first faint characters which the
agents Of time can not efface. Do
not wait until the last day Of school
to find out what your child has
done. Keep it off the streets as
much as possible because the educa-
tion Of the child is principally de-
rived from it's own observation Of
the words and actions of others and
even the looks Of those with whom
it lives. Therefore the friends Of
the young cannot be too crcumspect
in their presence to avoid every and
the least appearance of evil.
In our efforts to keep the children
