FRIDAY is a day OF the week. Under
the declaration Of independence it
was created free and equal with
the other days, but it has never been
able to get its rights.
Friday has the ordinary number Of
hours, and the same climate as other
days The sun shines impartiaIy on
Friday and il should be greatly be-
loved, for il is the last day Of school
and the next day to pay day, when no
man can spend money friyolously be-
cause he hasn't any. But Friday isn't
beloved. Instead il Is treated with
marked suspicion and is coldly avoided
by all persons desiring TO substitute
luck for brains.
Friday is supposed to be very IN
lucky No sUperstitiOus man would be-
gin a voyage, a business house or a
marriage on Friday. Even children
born on Friday are supposed to be IN
lucky, though this depends somewhat
upon the number in the family who
have preceded them
Still. we should not laugh at the timid
men and women who look with fright
upon Friday and decline TO trust any
thing to it There is no doubt but that
Friday can be a very unluclly day under
many circumstances. Some Of the IN
Iuckiest marriages in the world have
taken place on Friday Any woman

Summer Schools Suggested

Under the playground and recreation system already
inaugurated in FL PasO, the school grounds viii be
used u months in the year, and late afternoons and
evenings In summer, well Saturdays and Sundays.
It Is also planned to the school buildings themselves
for some community activities such meetings, lectures,
