the motto of property owners on Main

against the increased assessments
which the assessors made, on all the

several Of the men on Main street

are opposed to the increases being

Due to the increase in the school
registration and owing to the short
age of class rooms, it will be neces-
sary next month to establish half
time schedules in three of the schools.
This change will affect about $50
pupils.
The new order concerns four
classes mum bering about 100 pupils,
in the Smalley school, three rooms
and 120 children at the Bartlett
school, and two rooms and 70 children
at the Northend school. The changes
are to become effective when the mid
year promotions are made. The places
of these children will be filled the re-
mainder of the day by other children
entering school for the first time.
A schedule of future school de-
velopment has already been made up
and the first school building which it
Is planned to erect Is one to relieve
the congestion at the Camp school.

And no one is better fitted than Miss
MacKaye to talk on this subject. She
was one Of the first persons in the
United States to take up pageantry
and develop 1t as an art, or a pro-
fession, as it has really become to
her.
Before going into the business of
writing sixteen pageants and produc-
ing many more, Miss MacKaye was on
the stage. She played in three of her
brothers productions and starred in
some Broadway successes.
Her pageants have been on a variety
OF subjects. She devoted two years
to the pageant of church history,
