Night and Saturday.

Geneseo, Feb. 13.-The shown,
last Friday night and SaturdaS,
morning and afternoon of Alice IN
Wonderland" at the Wigwam the.
atre for the benefit of the kinder
garten of the schools of this citv
was a huge success. The theatre
was crowded at each of the five
performances to the delight Of the
hundreds of children and admits
who saw the perturbation of this
children's classic. Coffee and
doughnuts were served on FRIDAY
evening and Saturday afternoon
Ice cream cones, popcorn and home
made candies were sold at each
performance.
The success of this undertaking
is due particularly to the efforts of
Mrs. Harry E Brown who spon-
sored the benefit from the time OF
its inception. Mrs. Brown has
stated that at is not alone the
money of the public which is de-
sired in this benefit, but it is hoped
to increase general public interest
in and appreciation of the kinder
garten activities of our schools
The entire proceeds of the series
of pictures will be devoted to the
purchase of permanent equipment
for the kindergarten after the eT-
pense of music for this work has
been paid"
"a survey of the entire United
States at a cost of millions of dol-=
lars has been made by the Russell
Sage foundation" Mrs. Brown said
I'm that survey Illinois ranks as
the second richest, the third largest
in population and twenty-secOnd in
the standing of our public schools
This fact makes one gasp in won
derment to ask Whose fault is it,
There is but one answer: It is our
own fault. Until the people Of Illi-
nois and the people of Geneseo 4
rouse themselves to understand the
situation we will continue to cheat
our children in what we are giving
them in our educational system. We
must realize fully that the schools
of Geneseo do not belong to the
members of the school board or to
the teachers, but to US. We ought
to have the best schools in the
country right here. We have sur g
rounding US the richest of farm
lands, an. endowment to our schools.
To raise the standard of our schceas
we must take a greater interest In
them. We should vote at every
school election, and fully and fairly
discuss all school questions and
policies involved.
1--WE should acquaint ourselves
with defects and limitations OF the
state laws now in force so that We
may intelligently ask every candi-
date for the state Legislature,
What is your position in the vital
matter of laws concerning Illinois
public schooIs?'
"And in that betterment We.
should start with the very founda-
ton stone of our public school sys-
tem-the kindergarten. The public
schools are the foundation Of this
Undertakings like the
recent benefit are d good thing in
any community mainly for the in
terest aroused in the welfare Of the
schools"
The next Of the series OF four
pictures will be shown on March !
10. when the sequel to "Alics IN

Through the Looking Glass will
