1T is attempted to manage that every boy

Among the many interesting land
marks of Somerset County the pict-
ure shown below will recall to the
minds of many thruout the county and
even the nation OF many happy days
of labor and pleasure spent in this old
red brick building. And for the bene-
fit of those and all others who may
be interested the writer has tried to
bring before you a few facts about
Somerset Academy.
In 1916 the citizens of the town of
Athens raised and built by subscrip-
ton Somerset Academy. Since that
time the Academy has seen days of
prosperity and days of hardship. She
has sent thousands of boys and girls
out into the world to face it's hard
ships and dangers; and long may it
continue to do So
Let us now take visit to Somerset
Academy and see what We find there
AS we pass thru the little town of
Athens and come to its outskirts on
the Harmony road we find pleasant
ly situated on little knoll large
red brick building; and as we go up
the graveled walks shaded by sever
al old naples we look out beyond to
the Athletic grounds. Here we find

be of great aid in the English depart
ment and for the social work.
1t would also be of interest to know
something of studies that are taught
and their instructors. The three
courses are College Preparatory, Eng
lish, and Household Arts course
These include English, Chemistry and
Physics, Commercial Law and Book
keeping, Ancient and Modern History,
Ciyics, Botany, Physical Geography.
Sewing, Cooking and school manage
ment French and Latin and many
others.

others who have doubtless joined the
Army or Navy who have been old stu

that Somerset Academy students are
bound to do their bit
Somerset Academy is nov governed
as it always has been by board of
trustees made up of the business men
in town. But under a contract the
students and citizens enjoy the same
privileges as of a free high school.
So long as Somerset Academy con-
tinues to do the good work that it has
done in former years, anyone can say
with pride that they are a student or
a graduate of Somerset Academy. 1t
is now the duty of the present students
to see that its Alma Mater looses none
of its honor or reputation.

Idea Is All Right

IL everyone financially unable to
attend the moving pictures could be
provided opportunity to do so, once
a week, and would make use of the
chance, a desirable result would be
accomplished There Is room enough
at the Opera House, afternoons, for
much more than the usual paying
audience, and the increase in num-
bers, by those not able to pay, would
not displace a penny of revenue for
the leases. 1t is a courtesy which
they can easily extend, in a direction
where 1t should be very much appre-
ciated, and we believe they are thoro-
ly DESTROYS of doing SO.
The difficulties of making the pro-
ject of free admissions effective ought
to be easily overcome. Those whom
1t Is intended to reach ought to feel
that the City Building Is theirs, as 1t
actually is. The courtesy of free ad-
mission, IL circumstances entitle them
to 1t, ought not to cause them the
slightest uneasiness. The public can
aid in the matter by encouraging
those who ought to make use of these
free admissions, to do SO. Moving
pictures have become the most i'm
pOrtant single source of enjoyment.
1t ought to make US all more con-
tented with them If we could know
want OF the price of admission.
