GOING TO SCHOOL.

II Is usual when school opens each
year. to say obvious things that mean
little 10 anybody-and even less TO
those who are about TO enter or go
back 10 school. Tho wise tell the
pupils what a splendid chance they
are having now; mournful people
say those are the happiest days
OF life" so care-free and all that;
serious minded good people try In
every way to make young people see
that the best thing they can do is to
forget everything else and apply
themselves to their books.
Much of 1t is good advice. School
days are happy days; proper attention
to studies should be given. Education
will make life deal more pleasant
and profitable to everyone when the
time comes to work for living.
But II is hard to get this across"
as the actors say. Younger students
especially hate to be lectured. They
know almost by heart the trite phrases
which accompany them to school, and
they get lot Of them after they ar
rive. It is not given to most of us
to put our experience into such words
that they will impress the young
people. The more serious we grow
over giving advice the more uninter- |
esting and dry our words become. I
But confessions usually are inter- I
esting. Perhaps II we confess that
we are going to school every day.
right now, trying to learn the things
we need to know and some of which /
we had chance to learn long ago
when the school days were with us,
the young people might sit up and
take notice. We might confess to the
younger ones that we wish we had
learned more about geography so that
today when we are asked question
about where such and such a city
is located perhaps the capital of some
state, we would not have to blush and
hem and haw and confess at last that
we do not know Or we might con-
fess that we wish we had read his
tory more carefully when we were In
school so that we could know right
now about the things that happened
years ago, what came after them, and
what effect they had. To the older
ones, going to college or high school,
we might confess that, years after we {
had left the last institution we attend :
ed, we tried to make arrangements to 9
go back there again and study hard ,
some of the things we sighted then. ,
1t is safe to say that for every young c
person going to school or college to- =
day there are several who envy him f,
or her and who would give a good n
deal to have their chance to study and -
master the things they are supposed :
to study now. 1t has been said that d
ever school day is worth almost ten :,
dollars to enthusiastically worth :,
that. Well, the better were the ad-
gantages we had the more we realize q
hat ten dollars is putting it at low :,
price. The more we know, the more :,
We realiz5 how little we know Today
going to school, must be side issue .,
With us because we have our living .,
% earn. 1t may inspire those who
will go to school next week with de-
ire to take advantage of their chance
low If they realize that most of the :.
people who are well educated" as :,
t is called would give great deal to :,
lave the chance young people are I,
Getting right now.
And all this is said in deep earnest :,

My dear President Carey:
'I take pleasure in informing you
that at it's meeting yesterday the
Commission on Institutions of Higher
Education of the Association Of Col
leges and Preparatory Schools of the
Middle States and Maryland voted
that st. Johns College be placed on
the approved list.
"The Chairman of the Commis-
sion was directed to notify the Presi-
dent of st. Johns that this action
was based largely upon the remark
able progress made during the last
few months and was to be regarded
as tentatiev for the present, pending
the satisfactory carrying out of the
plans outlined to the Commission by
the President of the College at the
conference on November 10Th.
"The Commission hesitated a long
time before taking this action. 1t felt
very strongly that recognition shoulc
be given to the remarkable achieve
ments already made but was in doubt
whether both the standards of the AS
sociation and the interest of the Col
lege might not be better served by
little further postponement of action
Eventually, however, the action out
lined above was agreed upon.
eve wish you all success in thu
realization of the admirable plan!
which you outlined"

"ARRIVAL OF KITTY"
TO HAVE PRESENTATION
Juniors Of P. H. S. Will Stage
Drama Of High Order Next
Tuesday, Dec. II.

In order to obtain funds to finance
the entertainment which the Junior
Class of the Pocomoke High School
gives annually to the Seniors, the
third year boys and girls are prepar-
ing a drama entitled, "The Arrival
of Kitty" to be given in the Empire
Theatre, next Tuesday, December II.
This drama seems to be of high
order since it has been given in the
play houses of New York City, and a
celebrated actor Hal johnson by name
assumed one of the leading male
characters over two thousand times.
The scene is laid in the office of the
Halcyon House, in the Catskill noun
tains and the action is replete with
sparkling repartee, wholesome fun,
and interesting situations. The cast
will be as follows:
Sam, colored porter, Basil Payne.
Ting, a bell boy, William Bicking.
William Winkler, Granville Adams.
Aunt Jane, Wlnklers s1ster-ln-laW,
Annie Henderson.
Suzette, Aunt James Maid, Janet
Blades.
Jane, Winkler's niece, Anna Kerns
Robertson.
Bob Baxter, Riley Stevenson.
Benjamin Moore, Howarth Coving-
ton.
No doubt these young folk will meet
with hearty support in the way of
large and sympathetic audience.
There is nothing which interests the
public more than the efforts Of it's
school boys and girls, and next Tues
day evening will find all the friends
of the participants in their seats at
the theatre.

TWO NOTABLE PHOTO
PLAYS AT THE EMPIRE
"Rose Of The Sea" And "The DAN
gerous Age" To Be Shown
Next Week.

The flavor Of romance permeates
the Anita Stewart production Rose
o. the Sea-" which will be the stars
next First National attraction COM
ing to the Empire Theatre on Monday
December 10, according to the ad-
vance opinions that have been receiv-
ed on the picture.
So much has been written of un-
expected conclusions that the phrase
has comenced to have an overwofn
twang; but Anita Stewart herself is
the sponsor of the statement that the
conclusion of her latest picture which,
if not a distinct surprise to the ma
jcrity of the audience, will at least be
out of the run of the customary mo-
ton picture fadeouts.
"The Dangerous Age," produced by
John M. Stahl, will be the attraction
on Wednesday and Thursday. Based
on an original story by Frances Irene
Reels, it is declared to be an excep-
tionally thrilling photoplay and con-
tains a theme that has a universal
appeal. No expense or effort has been
spared in the filming to make it an
offering of distinctly high calibre.
The picture has a splendid cast,
comprising Lewis S. Stone, Ruth Cliff
ford, Edith Roberts, Myrtle Stedman,
Richard Tucker, Helen Lynch, James
Morrison, Cleo Madison, Lincoln Sted-
man, Edward Burns and the exotic
"Dellorice."
The feature picture for Friday and
Saturday will be announced later.
