BRATES CLOSING OF SCHOOL

Forest Park had a great day May
IL, it being the Parent Teacher As
sociations last meeting, closing of the
school and rally for the school build
ings.
At II o'clock patrons with well fill
ed baskets began to arrive and by the
time school was dismissed for noon,
a large table filled to the limit with
many, many good things was ready.
After thanks, by DR.. Shaddrick, the
200 pupils and all the little visitors
were served, then the visitors and
patrons took their turn and there was
an abundance for all.
After dinner the tables we're re-
moved and chairs placed and the
crowd was entertained by the pupils
with an excellent program. This was
given out doors, the house not being
large enough to accommodate he crowd.
After the program talks were given
by patrons and school board. Mrs. Will
Davis, president of the Parent-Teach-
er Gsssss9ciation, was called upon, She
thanked all members Of the Assocla-l
tion for their loyalty and faithfulness,
also the school board for encourage
ment and urged all members to work
faithfully for the new school buildings
as nothing worth while is gained with
out an effort.
Mr.. Logan Mckee spoke on the
bond issue, explaining fully and max
ing it very plain that the bonds would
not increase our taxes. He explained
plans for new buildings, speaking of
conditions of schools and the need for
new buildings.
Mr.. Engleman told of the crowded
conditions of High School, and that
Central and Marshall Hill schools
were crowded and unsafe as well as
unsanitary. He spoke of many i'm
provements needed.

more room in all the schools and the
need of more no oonl nthe High school

Mrs. Bridwell said the other mem
bers of the school board promised to
do all the talking when she was elect

Sceeding.
Miss Hamilton said in her ak that
the people of Forest Park would have
to put up with her another year, but
Judging from the expressions of those

70 THE VOTERS

To the voters who still hesitate
about the need of new school buildings
in Monet we wish to say that the
building on Marshall Hill, beside be-
ing unsanitary and unsightly, is
actually dangerous. School must al
ways be dismissed in case of storm.
Think twice before you endanger
the lives of nearly. two hundred chill
dren.

ups but these are only natural when
players are woring under a great
strain. +,
In the old days it was customary
to look down on the professional
baseball player. He was not consid-
cred proper person in certain quar-
tiers. Conditions that surrounded the
game were far different from what
they are at present. The greatest
Improvement has taken place during
the last twenty years, and the influx
of college players in great numbers
has been responsible for this to
great degree. Furthermore, college
baseball, as it is conducted today, not
only sends players into the profess
sional game who have been polished
in the classroom. but also players
who have been taught to play the
game properly.

TT surely is true that the college
players have done more to elevate
professional baseball than any other
FACTOR in the development of the
game. The college player has helped
to make the national sport worth
