annual spring meeting in The aadito-
rum Of The school Friday evening.
The meeting was called % order By
The president, Mrs. r. /. Babeock,
Singing, The Old Oaken Buckets and
Annie Laurie. After which Dr.. Har-
~ McKeen. a noted Chautauqua lee
turer, spoke in behalf of the Communi-

towns greatest asset was its bows and
girls. and that every effort should be
brought forth for their betterment.
He stated that more oil was bought
for machines than was spent for good
books, that the young should have a
chance TO see and study pictures of
character. One of the greatest things
needed by the young and older people
is organized play.
DR.. McKeen pointed out the fact that
by having a place where the young
could assemble under a competent
] dirpGfnr ard with 1Iaan ~HE1T1-lro~
surroundings, the church, the home
and the school would be made better.
