OAKLAND QUINT PLAYS
BROADWAYS TONIGHT
Pennsylvania Team Will Meet
Local Players Here This
Evening.

The Oakland A. A., after having
defeated the Altoona Overlands in
their opening game of the basket
ball season, will meet another strong
opponent tonight when they play the
Broadway Club of Meyersdale, Pa, at
MAYORS Hall on Third street. The
game is scheduled to start at 8:15.
Meyersdale has always boasted OF
a strong Quint in past years but is
stronger than ever this season since
the Lichliter brothers, formerly of
Salisbury High School, have been ad-
ded to the team. In a recent game
against Piedmont the Lichliter boys
tailed a total of field goals.
Oakland opened it's season about
two weeks ago and defeated the AL
toona Overlands by the score of37-17.
The locals in doing so defeated the
Altoona outfit worse than the Key
ser Collegians, who managed to come
through with a 44-40 victory.
Oakland will use the same lineup
as was used in the opening game
Another packed house is expected
when the old rivals meet on the local
court.

MODERN EDUCATION

1t hasn't been so long ago, just a
few decades, when the little old Red
School House was the seat of learning
for all and except to the very wealthy
or ambitious, it was the Alpha and
Omega of their education. Many of
our forefathers knew no other Alma
Mater.
Isn't it wonderful, when you think
of it, the progress and advancement
made in Education? Why the ordi-
nary village high school is equipped
with every modern need and carries
a complete course of study of which
the people of even a generation ago
did not dream.
And it is not just the children who
are becoming enlightened; the par
ents see and know the Importance Of
knowledge, the need of education for
their children and they leave no stone
unturned to have them acquire it.
Time was when the three RS.
properly assimilated, formed not
only the rudiments but the sum total
of an education, and text books were
purchased by the parents, who often
could see no need Of a great number
naturally.
Once upon time, back in the early
nineties at a farm house not far from
here "a little girl followed her father
to the barn one day and timidly voic-
ed her desire for broader education.
Her father, one of the sturdy pioneer
type, was amazed, and exclaimed;
"Child, what in the world has gotten
into your head? Just forget such
foolishness; you can read and write,
and cipher, what more do you want to
know" Adding: Gust learn how
