signed patrons and friends Of
the OkoIona Public School: That
we heartily endorse the
action of the student body in
pledging themselves not to at
tend such places of amusementS
on school nights, and that we
further endorse the action of our
Superintendent in his efforts t.
correct this evil and we hereb,
pledge him our active support
and cooperation in his efforts il
this line for the good of the
school.
Already the school has drawn
up a set of resolutions and a 1
