The music was by the High School
orchestra and John w. Anderson, who
played the class march, and it was
very good. The singing by the Girls
Glee club was highly appreciated; as
was also the class song, by the class.
The salutatory address by Dora M.
White, the memorial address by Earl
H. Collicutt, and the valedictory ad-
dress by La Won S. Jacka were, all
of them, of real merit; and they were
we'll delivered in a pleasant. natural
manner, without affectation.
The class memorial was a certified
check for $6S, to be devoted to the
expense of fitting up school play
grounds. 1t was thankfully accepted
on behalf of the school board by
Charles w. Hutchinson who guaranteed
it's use for the purpose specified.
The commencement address, What s
Happening Under the Surface in Amer
ican Society, 'by DR.. Edward Aylsworth
Ross, was in fact good, strong lesson
in citizenship. The speaker addressed
himself in a serious minded way to his
hearers and asked them to take thought
of some industrial, political and social
changes which greatly effect our civil
lied life in America. 1t was, like all
public utterances by DR.. Ross, keen,
thoughtful and strong. He is a good
interpreter of American civil liberty
as applied to new conditions as they
arise. Further notice of this address is
given in an editorial article on page
four of this paper.
In presenting the class for their di-
plomas Superintendent Gotham took
the public into his confidence and ex-
planned with frankness the work done
by the class aud the work doing in the
schools.
An enthusiastic, helpful school spirit
exists in the community; and there is
we'll founded conviction that the pu.
pills, both in the high school and in the
grades. are doing right good hard, hon
est work,-the work that counts.
The diplomas were presented to the
members of the class in an appropriate
address by DR.. G. g. Hubenthal, presi
dent of the board of education.

Possessing a voice that satisfies
the heart, an artistry that holds
the ear and a personality that
wins the eye, it is no wonder that
Cecil Tanning ranks among the
leading singers of the age.
Mr.. Tanning is a very emotional
singer with strong dramatic in
stincts, one who never fails to
carry conviction by the width of
his resources the intensity of his
feelings, and volume and variety.
of his tone.
He possesses an unusually fine
voice, and a style that combines
sincere feeling and acute intelli-
gence and the international opinion
is that one of his recitals is we'll
worth hearing. Our people will
have the opportunity of judging
for themselves to night when
Mr.. Tanning will make his first
before a Natchitoches
audience and no one can afford to
miss hearing this artist who comes
with a world wide reputation of
being wonderful singer.

Ben Greet Players.

Ben Greet has been called the
father of open air performances in
America. In May, 1903 he gave
the first performance ever given
by a professional company in the
open air. 1t was felt to be largely
in the way of an experiment and
was done at the solicitation of
several people who had seen Mr..
Greet's pastoral performances in
England. The success was in
Simultaneous and since that time
the Ben Greet Woodland Players
have been seen on the campus of
nearly every College in the Unit
ed States as we'll as at most of the
exclusive Country Clubs during
the summer months. -
A number of open air theatres
have been built especially for Mr..
Greet notably the Greek Theatre
at the University of California in
Berkeley which Ben Greet opened
with a performance of "As You
Like It."
There is a delightful novelty
and a sense of reality to the per-
formances that is never realized in
a theatre. The spectator gains
the impression of seeing bits from
real life rather than of seeing
players going through parts. The
effect of the powerful calcium
lights produces an illusion that it
is impossible to describe, The
scenery is not the painted canvas
and artificial setting of the theatre,
but Natures own setting of green
lawn and shrubbery. No little
part of the charm of the Ben
Greet Woodland Plapers' per-
formances is in the incidental
music which is rendered by a
quartet.
The performance here will be
given on the campus of the Nor
NAL on Monday evening, April 26.

Why DON'T THEY EXPLAIN CONDITIONS

man d. d. Rogers, who stated at the
public meeting Tuesday evening that
he did so much because of his love
for the city, drew from the city cof-
fers for engineering work from 1906
to 1913 the sum of $2,09495; why
don't they inform you, dear voter, that
three mills of this years taxes,
amounting to s7.920.59, is required to
maintain the public schools?
Why don't these kickers who say
this freak charter will reduce the
taxes pick out single instance of
high taxation-pick out some piece
of property that is assessed too high?
The Daily News has yet to learn of
piece of real estate that is assessed
for half of what the owners ask for
it. The taxes of Daytona are not as
high in proportion to the asked value
of the property as are the taxes of
| Daytona Beach. Statements in gen.
erality mean nothing. Anyone who
/, thinks he knows of a specific in
stance of high taxation should tell
the people of that instance There
may possibly be a few unjust assess
ments, the Daily News will grant. 1t
is probable, however, that most every
one who believed themselves to be
unjustly taxed have made complaint
to the city council, and if that body
found their claim to be well-founded
a rebate has been allowed. Most OF
the statements that have been made
in public meeting regarding munich
pal affairs have been founded on ig
norance, and undoubtedly some PEG
pie have swallowed the statements.
