The Value OF An Education.

The Value of An Education.
The value Of an education to some
is very great, while to others it is
considered nothing.
Education is not something that can
be bought, but something that you
have to study and work hard for.
People who leave school in the
grades miss some of the real things
of life. You may be brilliant per-
former, but if you cannot mingle with
the people you want to be with (be-
cause of your lack of knowledge on
subjects on which only learned people
can TALK. What good does it do you
to be brilliant performer? None
For you cannot reach the position in
life for which you aim.
Why do the people Of today leave
school in the grades? That is easily
answered, for they think, II don't see
any sense in school, don't learn any
thing and | surely don't earn any
thing and | can earn enough to keep
myself comfortable" After while
they see one of their friends who re-
NAMED in school get fine position
and salary about double the one
which they get and then they see their
mistake, but their hopes for such a
position are now vanished because
they did not remain in school long
enough to receive an education which
fit them for the higher things OF
life.
Then let US all try to receive an
education such as would make US not
only brilliant performer, but one
who can mingle with any one and
will not be set aside because they
cannot talk on learned subjects but
as one who is. a brilliant scholar and
can talk to all people and on all
subjects.

Columbian Players Star In Their In.
itial Vaudeville Show '' r. 81.
IF three hours of continuous smiles
and applause on the part Of pack
ed house .ireflect a good show then
the vaudeville show given by the
Columbia Players last evening was
huge success. The claim Of the
players that they were producing a
veritable gloom-chaser was absolute
ly fulfilled, and the audience was
treated to a reign of fun that placed
the Columbian Players another step
higher. on the ladder of fame. The
program was variety one, and in
cluded on it's list attractions that
appealed to the young and the old,
the flavor of humor and comedy
permeating every act. The producer
of the vaudeville was Norris P. Ro-
land, veteran director Of the Column
bian Players, assisted by Miss Mary
Conlon and by George J. Jaeger. d.
rector of music. As in every show
that the Columbian Players have
given, every penny realized will be
given to charity towards defraying
expenses of future benefit
performance. The production of d
vaudeville show was to satisfy the
public demand for this form of en-
tertainment and in their initial eff
forts the Columbian Players may
truly be said to have acquitted them
selves in style that befitted pro.
fessionals. The following constitu-
ted the personnel of the production:
Miss Mary Conlon. Norris P. Ro-
land, Carl Rothmund, Joseph Ross,
Francis H. Famon, Miss Eleanor
Nugent, Robert Whitestone, Joseph
Bagley Miss Margaret Griffith, Miss
Magdalene Conlon, Miss Ruby Davis,
Miss Helen Sweeley, E. A. Sweeley,

lon, Marcus Jaeger Melvin Tesh,
Rocco Verri. Misses Louise Kramer,
Marion Griffith Frances McDermott,
Margaret Armstrong, Hilagarde Jae-
ger, Dorothy Nugent, Violetta JAM
ieson, Rbe Tull and Naomi Sch
warzman.
The Columbian Players will short
ly after New Years produce one of
the most beautiful musical comedies
that the players have ever attempt
ed. This. too, will be for charita-
BILE purpose, to be announced later.
