some interesting facts on the import
ance of the Public School generally.
He told of the figIg to keep the
teaching of Temperance out of the
Schools for those men who opposed
/ il, knew that once the Youth of the
land were trained for Prohibition,
King Alcohol was doomed.
The Auditorium
Mr.. Smith spoke very earnestly Of
the need of an auditorium and stressed
the fact that the getting of one lay
in the hands of the pupils, to them is
left the task of convincing those in
authority, the politicians, of the need
of the auditorium.
Making the Best of It
Some complaint is being heard about
having Preliminary Contests in the
Study Hall. 1t takes money to rent
such places as available and more
money to move pianos, etc, and even
then the halls are not free for rental,
as they are being used for other af-
fairs. 1t is to be regretted that the
Odd Fellows Hall was engaged at
this time.
