Mems Club Is
Entertained By
Robert Clendenning

The Mems Club, of the Grantwood
Congregational Church, presented an
entertainment of high merit to the
public on Thursday evening last,
which, in spite of the generally in
clement weather, was well attended
The particular offering for the
meeting was the dramatic readings
of Robin s-Clendinning, noted
recitalist and entertainer.
Mr.. Clendenning offered a large
range of selections from the humor-
Gus to the dramatic.
The occasion being also celebrative
of the birthday of the beloved James
Whitcomb Riley, numerous of his
poems were read. They were very
cordially received and heartily en-
cored.
Edwin Markham's "Man with the
Hoe" and Lincoln" were also rem
dered.
The violin playing of Miss Dorothy
Donaldson, and the piano accompany
ing of Mrs. Kenworthy were charm
ing addition to the entertainment.
Professor George Donaldson was
in charge of the meeting.

pleasing event of Thursday will be
repeated in the not distant future,
when probably Dickens "a Christ
mas Carol" will be presented.

board approved the loaning of sums
of money to the borough council, at
the discretion of the finance commit
tee, provided that on affirmative
opinion in writing as to it's legality
were furnished by the County Super
intendent of Schools.
1t was moved that estimates be
secured from Messrs Fox, Leeger,
Dyer and others for the connecting
of Cliffside School No. with the
sewer.
In regard to the janitorship of
Grantwood school, 100 salary was
found to be inadequate, because of
the exceptional burden caused by the
care of the High School laboratories.
After much discussion, the board de-
cided to grant Janitor Korb bonus
of $50 for the year.
The governing committee were
given more time in the matter of
hiring a stenographic clerk.
In regard to Grantwood kinder
garten teacher, Miss Demarest, now
teaching without teachers certif-
cate, the board agreed to pay her car
fare until December 1, when she is
to receive her certificate.
The question of securing domestic
science teachers free of charge from
Teachers College, New York, was
left in the hands of President Whe-
Ian to telephone to the State Board
at Trenton to find if there were any
objection to the plan.
In regard to the agitation for a
night school the newspapers were re
quested to announce that a meeting
of all persons interested would be
held at Cliffside school on Saturday
evening, October 9. Notices were
also ordered posted in the post
offices, and given out in school.
