 The school supervisor MT. Russell in his address mentioned the desirability and necessity of school nurse. which on being put to vote was decided unani- l mously in the alternative, and will be recommended by him at the meeting of the school board. Another subject men, ! toned by him in his address was the claim that owing to better facilities in the city schools for education that the standard of scholarship of pupils entering 1 the high schools from the country dis | trfcts was not as high as that of those l from the city schools, the standard of those from the city schools being the 1 ninth grade, while that of the country ! schools was only the eighth grade. After the meeting there was considerable dis cussion and objection to this statement | by MT. Russell, as 1t was stated that many of the honor pupils in, the high 1 schools are from the country districts while in recent years four of the vale i dictorians at the Windham High school 1 and one salutatorian were from the town of Columbia, therefore it was claimed that this criticism could not apply to the schools in Columbia the pupils from there being always noted for their high scholarship and also that the alleged | improved methods of education were un. necessary at present.

Vaudeville at the Broadway

There are five B. F. Keith vaudeville acts at the Broadway theatre today and tomorrow that was well received by a1 enthusiastic crowd yesterday.
 All ye lovers of a good fight and q good right form in line in front Of the Broaoway theatre and grab an eye-full Of Conway Tearle in The Referee. his new est Selznick production. After viewing this exceptionally exciting picture 1t is so- vious that Tearie is king of the film fight CTS. Plugs and rough-necks hold few ter TOTS for Tearle. But there Is one little gent who carries around a bow and ar row who finally senGs Tearle to the mat for the count of ten. Boys, step up and meet Cupid!
 The Referee is perhaps the best story Mir. Tearle has ever had in his disting- ulshed career. The star Is singularly suited to the role he portrays, for 1t is rumored that he Is quite fighter in the ranks ot amateur pugilists. Judging by The Referee the life of a motion picture star Is a strenuous one. but Conway Tearle stripped to the skin God gave him looks as if he is no stranger to punching bags and skipping ropes
 You probably remember reading Gerald l Beaumonts story, John McArdle, Referee, in The Red Book In his iine-sports stories-Beaumont is practically unbeat- able. However. the Selznick company has gone Beaumont one better and the resulting film S a regular bang-up ar talr that never lets up until the final half-inch is reached. It will keep you SC glued to the edge of your chair that you will probably be reprimanded for breath ing down the neck of the person sI.;ins in front of you
 The picture is crammed full of action from start to conclusion. It's a certain knockout!
