"3s EAST" WITH CONSTANCE
BINNEY AT VICTORY
With the Entire Company As Present.
ed On New York Stage

Did you ever leave your home town
somewhere in America to seek your
fortune with the millions of the me-
tropolis? Then, when you arrived
there. did you have a hard time to OBJ
tain employment of any kind and on
more than one occasion did you have
to ask your landlady to wait few
weeks for the room rent? And did
YOU suffer lonesomeness-the kind
that gnaws at the heart and causes IN
somnia and melancholia?
If you are one Of the thousands
who have had such experiences, you
will doubtless find much interest in
the picture version Of ''39 East" the
Rachel Crothers play in which Con
stance Binney is appearing Monday
and Tuesday at the Victory Theatre.
Miss Crothers has got at the heart of
the experience which an ambitious
girl has upon coming to New York.
without money and friends, seeking
without success employment that is to
her liking, and finally having to do
work which she considers much be
meath her. Miss Crothers heroine,
however. comes out of her experience
ga all the purer and stronger well
as wiser.
Constance Binney was ideally cast
for the heroine, Penelope Penn, be-
cause she herself won success in New
York without pull and by sheer grit
and force Of perSonality.-Adv.

wild flowers and red berries, sur
rounded a large white dove, bearing
in its bill a message of greeting and
love. Another dove was among some
greenery Great jars of flowers and
boughs Of hemlock were everywhere,
producing a pretty effect.

DEFICIENT BUSINESS EDUCATION
Difficulty in Finding Young People
Who Can Do Good Work in
Business Ofices,

A bank man from another town
was speaking the other day of the
difficulty of finding young people who
can do good work in a business Of
fee. There are very few high school
pupils" he said, who can write,
cipher, or spell" Our school has a
commercial course, but it gives only
smattering of the information re-
quired. The pupils don't get drill
enough to be accurate"
This complaint is common and has
even been heard here. A great mary
people would solve the problem by
having the schools return to the
Three Rs. But probably the same
man who kicked because the young
people could not cipher, would also
kick if they could not tell something
about Thomas Jefferson or Daniel
Webster. Young people without gen.
eral intelligence are undesirable.
The essential trouble seems to be
that too little effort is made to fit
young people for the special kind of
thing they are going to do. If boy
is going into a professional career,
or If he is to run lathe in a factory
no great harm is done if he makes
an error in some long and tedious
example in partial payments.
On the contrary, if he is going to
be bank clerk or work on his faith
ers farm, he will soon forget all his
high school Latin. Also he will not
need to. know why X raised to the
nth powed equals plus 2 square.
Young people who plan to enter bust
ness Offices need very long drill on
arithmetic and bookkeeping, others
GO not need so much emphasis on
these subjects.
In school that limited itself 10
long mechanical drill on business
subjects, many gifted young people
would fail to discover their real
capacities. After they become settled
in some employment below their pos
sibilities, it is commonly too late 20
change.
The ideal school system will have
distinct courses for distinct types
of pupils. Each boy and girl needs in
dividual study to determine what he
is good for. He ought to be started
at the earliest possible moment al
ong the track that will help him
most.

Put up New Hitching Posts

Some time ago a number of our
farmer friends made petition that the
village would put up some hitching
posts SO that when they came to town
and desired to tie their teams for a
short time they would have a place to
do So The past week Marshal Atz and
his side partner, Will Hines, have
leveled lots in the rear of the First
National Bank south to the fire hall and
have put up a good serviceable job of
hitching posts. At the time the petit
ton was made it was stated that the
farmers would donate a days work
hauling gravel to place on the ground
so that it would not become mud hole
in wet weather and now Marshal Atz
says he is ready for them to bring that
gravel.
