leave Ellsworth for their homes or
Friday or Saturday, but many Of

J FROM THE MAYOR.
/ have been very much pleased
With the manner in which the boys of
the summer school have conducted
themselves while in Ellsworth. Can
didly, l did expect there might be a
little rough stuff" when so many
boys got together in a new town for
what was something very much like a
VACATION, outside of school hours.
Ny expectations have not been real
lied, l am very happy to say The
boys may have been noisy at times
Jolly, but l have seen nothing but
good wholesome fun among them
and respect for the rights and feel
ings of others. They have been good
for the town, and | hope the towr
has done them some good | would
be pleased to see a school here
another summer.

/ have read with considerable in
terest the comments of the summer
school students on heir impression:
Of Ellsworth, and feel that, on the
whole, their visit with us has beer
satisfactory to most of them, not
only in their social relations with tht
citizens but in their school work. In
a, class of nearly 100 students, il
would be impossible to have all salts
fed. no matter what the conditions
might be.
They came here on July 6. entire
strangers to us, and strangers al
most to each other. The citizens
opened their homes to them, and used
them as if they were of their OWE
families. The people have had a
chanee to Judge. individually, of the
students that compose the school
We have heard only favorable reports
from those who have had the stu
dents with them for he last seven
weeks. l have been personally ac-
quainted with many of the students
and consider them as fine a type oi
boys as l ever associated with. When
you think what it means to have over
ninety ST dents land in a small com
munity, at one time, remain for eight
weeks, and hear practically little OF
no unfavorable comments on them, il
Is remarkable thing, and the very
hest recommendation that could b,
given them.
The boys seem to appreciate tAc
fact that everyone wished them tt
feel welcome in the community, anC
they have tried to make us feel tha
ahey were worthy of our consider

having them with us this summer
and l think that all will join with m,
in expressing appreciation to tn
students for the gentlemanly wa,
that they have conducted themselve
during their stay with us. The bes
wishes of our community will g

We also wish TO express appreei
