school, with domestic science and art
departments and manual training and
mechanical drawing.
Wednesday, May 21-Lincoln school.
Thursday, May % Sunnyside
school.
Monday and Monday evening the
Central school was we'll attended by
parents and interested visitors who
expressed themselves as bein~ delight
ed with the evidence of the years
work. Despite the handicap Of seri-
Gus loss of time at the influenza cpl
den,ic period, the schools have pretty
well covered their usual assignments
of the year. and are making q most
satisfactory showing.
A visitors register was kept at the
Central school and over one hundred
and fifty visitors recorded their
names, and it is estimated that during
the day perhaps fifty more visited the
schools before the register was put
into use.
Central school is the school home of
about four hundred pupils in the first
FIVE Grades and despite the fact that
the building is one Of the oldest school
buildings, it was made most attrac-
tive in each room by hundreds Of dain-
~ paintings and drawings. The pen
manship work Of each grade was also
in evidence and showed good degree
Of progress from grade to grade. The
penmanship work Of each grade was
also in evidence and showed a good
degree Of progress from grade to
grade. The full arm movement Of the
Palmer Method is used exclusively in
all the schools. Maps, note books,
arithmetic and language papers,
these were other forms Of school work
to be seen.
1t was matter Of considerable
qualification to the school to have an
interestingly large number of men Wis
ting the schools at this time.
AS the exhibits progress. it is to be
remembered that parents and others
interested are heartily welcomed to the
schools at any time during the day
when school work is in progress. The
school rooms on their respective ex-
hibit days are held open until FIVE o.
clock and again in the evening from
seven until nine.

WOMAN GETS AHEAD
ASSONC COMPOSER

Miss Gail Grabiel, q pretty country
maid Of West Mansfield, Ohio, has
proved that women are just as cap
able of writing successful songs as
men. Not long ago she decided that
she would write song that would
set the nation humming. Friends
warned her that she would gain moth
ing, as pretudiced publishers never
gave an unknown song writer. much
less woman, q hearing. However
Miss Gail was obstinate-shs would
try for herself. She was 30 conAdent
OF her success that she joufneyed to
New York city to interview the kings
of Tin Pan Alley.
Her faith in the ability Of her own
sex led her to get woman writer for
the melody, After two weeks
search for a woman composer she
found one in Miss Muriel Pollock.
With the song finished, Miss Grabiel
started out to md q publisher.
Strange as II may seem, the first one
TO whom she submitted 1t recognized

commenting on her experience. 'it

likes and you go about getting q

MARGUERITE CLARK
AT VINING THEATRE

That haters of women have no
place in society and that their pre-
tensions are insincere, is adequate
" proved by Marguerite Clark in her
splendid characterization of the role
of Sylvia Weston, in her latest Para
mount photoplay, "Three Men and a
Girl" which will be shown at the
Ivining theatre next Wednesday and
Thursday.
In this picture three men, respec'
lively designated by Sylvia as the
"big. middle-sized and little bear,
flee to the country to escape the So
ciety of women. Then comes Sylvia
who illustrates her marriage to al
old man by running away; and hei
introduction into their society proves
them to be shams as far as natini
women is concerned. How coul'
any man hate so delightful girl a
Sylvia Weston, personated by Mar
guerite Clark. All fall in love witt
her, but she accepted only one o
them, the little bear" as she calle
him, and both are happy.
Miss Clark is finely supported j
