Barton Academy

Unsuccessful attempts have been
made to organize school orchestra
at various times during the present
school year. The difficulty is a hack
of performers on the various orches-
trail instruments, chief of which are
the violins. The violin, like every 9TH
er musical instrument, requires much
study. To perform well means that
the student must begin at an early
age-nine to Is years-and must keep
up everyday practice. Barton is
well supplied with the musicians, cor
net, clarinet and other brass and
wood-wind performers, and it is hop
ed that the future will see built up
an equally good string section. To
secure this result an attempt is being
made to organize class of ten or II
violiniStS from the fourth grade up
through the high school. 1t is plan
ned to have a teacher of violin come
to the academy one day each week
and give private and class lessons
A charge of 80 cents per lesson will
be made and the instruction periods
will be arranged to suit the best in
terests of the students This will be
continued through the coming years
and ultimately the result will be
marked musical improvement. Stu
dents will furnish their own instru-
nlents and Mr.. Merrill would appre-
ciate notice of any violins for sale, to
rent or to lend.
The services of Congressman
Frank Greene are being sought as the
commencement speaker in June
Plans are being made to issue an
academy booklet in June, containing
a history of the academy, pictures of
student activities, and of the acad-
emy buildings at different stages of
their existence, a complete roster OF
the alumni, school notes and litera-
ture, and an announcement of fu-
ture courses of study. Advertising
will be solicited from local merchants
and other business and educational
concerns.
C. A. Barrows gave very interest
ing talk on the mercantile business
Thursday afternoon. He said that
all vocations required work to make
them a success, but the mercantile
business required as much, If not
more, than any other.
Because of the lateness of the sea-
son, the skating rink will be closed

The Church in the Life of a Nation
Theodore Roosevelt

The church may not be the only place where
may proftably spend Sunday.
Of it is not.
Nevertheless, it is of the Very Best Places.
1t has been we'll tried.
1t has been knocked about badly by slackers and
enemies.
1t is the target for every fellow with chip his
shoulder crouch in his system.
1t is too for and too broad for others.
All this is perfectly naturaI-in fact, inevitable,
since the church based upon spiritual principles which
are admittedly difficult understand fully let alone fol-
low.
In spite of all this church mighty force in the
nation for keeping people toned up high levels of
thinking and acting.
1t has kept the affairs of Moral Governor before
of His people.
It has been the force behind the building of homes
orphans unfortunates deficient demented and aged
has always backer often the starter
of philanthropic enterprises.
The church is easy to slam and hard to replace.
Kick it if you like; but you will be wiser and happier
to back it.
