Inc nlgn ScnOOi pay, Inc nelresS
of Hoetown," was presented to large
audience last week. Every member
of the cast acquitted themselves crel-
itably and seemed to please the audi
ence. A notable feature of the eve
ming was the fact that every boy en-
rolled in the high school appeared Oh
the stage; eight in the play and two,
Raymond Henning and Harry Jami-
son, in a speciality between acts. The
play was directed by Mrs. Il. V. EverGs
and Supt. Warren II. Brett.

solos BY Corporal Burk, Both Division,
14lst Field Artillery, who has recently
returned from service in France. In
addition to the above, Mrs. c. l.. Rich
ardson sang and Mrs. Evcrds made
the talk at the regular assembly. The
theme OF Mrs. Evcrds' talk was "Play
Fair" Play fair with your teachers,
your school-matcs and yourselves. a
teacher likes to help his or her stu
dents in every way possible, and will
often sacrifice personal pleasure IN
order to he of service to the students
and community. Certain things are
expected OF "a teacher and people have
a right to demand those things. but
has not the teacher right 10 expect
certain things from the students and
the community? Let us meet our
teachers half way and by cooperating
with them secure the best possible re-.
suits. The outlook for the future Of
our school Is very favorable. Let US
make the most of that tuturc and give
the boys and girls Of Forest City their
Just dues.

Mr.. W. J. Osburn, Department Of
Education, Maryville State Teachers
College, delivered the class address at
the high school commencement FRI
day evening, Mr.. Swinchart, who was
engaged TO deliver the address was
unavoidably called to Springfield, and
Mr.. Osbum was chosen to take his
place. Mr.. 0sbum dropped few
statistics throughout his talk, dealing
with the teacher situation. II seems
that a number Of our good Missouri
teachers are going to Iowa and other
states to teach. The reason being that
Iowa has passed law, placing the
er as 100000 per year. or course,
this teacher must be qualified to teach,
such qualification being recognized as
four years of high school work and at
least two years Of college work. Mr..
Osbum is Missourian by birth and
at heart, hence his enthusiasm for
progressive steps in Missouri educa-
ton. missouri first in mules, but
thirty-second in Schools" and "Mis-
souri, first In mules, but why send
them to the legislature" are remarks
which Mr.. Osburn does not like to
have called TO his attention any better
than you or !. What are we going
to do about It?
