HOSE COMPANY BATTLE
PICTURED in JAVA HEAD"

A distinct novelty for picture audi
ences is shown in George Melford's
Paramount production of "Java
Head" based on Joseph Hergeshei-
mer's novel of the same title, which
will be on view at the Liberty thea
tire next Thursday and Friday. 1t is
a water fight between two hose com
panies. This is an extinct sport now
but back in the days of 1848 in Sa-
lem, Mass, of which Mr.. Hergeshei-
mer wrote, the annual water fight
between the fire fighters of the var
ious New England towns drew large
crowds.
In "Java Head" one of these water
battles is shown for the first time on
the screen. The men with their
hand-pumped water wagons pour
streams of water at each other The
team that succeeds in overcoming its
opponent wins the fight The old
fashioned hand water engines used
in this scene in the picture were OBJ
tanned from Salem museums.

1.-THE teachers whose names are
signed to this voluntary statement
request that it be given space in
The Wolf Point Herald.)
We, the teachers of the Wolf
Point schools, in the interest of a
square deal for co-worker, Mr.. Liv-
ingston, take this opportunity to of
fer a few/facts for the consideration
of the patrons of this school district.
Mr.. Livingston has the loyal and
Just support of every member of his
staff. Each and everyone of the 19
teachers is willing and ready to do
everything possible for square deal
for the superintendent. Most OF US
have been employed in the school
for the past two or three years, some
even longer. We are satisfied and
always have been in regard to our
superintendent; otherwise we would
not have remained so long. Is this
not a record in itself? Ii we, gath
cred as we are from different states
can work in harmony with one an
other and above all with our super
intendent for the betterment OF your
school and the interest of your child
rem, why not let things stand as they
are? We are here to serve you; we
try to do our best. Give US then,
your help and cooperation for the
good of your school and your child
rem. You have good record; let's
keep it so.
Many people maintain their own
and different ideas Of how the dis
cipline of children and of school
may be carried on. Formal dlsclp-
line used to be recommended. One
can still remember the old type OF
discipline where rules and "don'ts'
were plentiful and where there were
so many rules to remember that few
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-01-31
Statement To Patrons OF
The Wolf Point Schools

were adhered to and most were
broken.
AS the head of school containing
725 students, Mr.. Livingston has
been successful in maintaining order
because he has made few rules and
made it his business to see that they
were enforced. Pupils appreciate
this; their attitude is changed from
one of compelled obedience to one
of harmonious cooperation. Dur
ing this school year there has been
no instance of corporal punishment.
Last year it was necessary to resort
to it but once during the whole nine
months.
