HIGH SCHOOL SPONSORS
MOST UNIQUE Community PROJECT

BELGRADE Mont. Especial Cor
respOndence). - Perhaps the most
unique community project ever spOn-
sOred by a school is that of the Bel
grade high school in taking over the
entire management Of the city the
ater. All profits Of the enterprise
are used for the school, the people
of the community thus being afford
ed an opportunity to support the
school while seeking their WI recre-
alton.
The moving picture show held ev-
cry Saturday night is entirely man
aged by students. A student sells
tickets; another operates the moving
picture machine, and students fur
nish music during the performance
and entertainment between reels.I
Valuable training is said to be thus
afforded the students which they
would hardly be able to receive in
any other way. Vocational training
is given those who operate the ma
chine; those who participate In the
programs are trained TO be at ease
when before an audience; and train
ing in business administration is af-
fOrded these who have charge OF the
finances Of the enterprise.
Most important Of all perhaps, is
that the students, by working as a
unit for the good of their school, gain
a feeling Of resppnsibility for its
welfare and a loyalty to the cause Of
education as a whole which it is
hoped viii have f~ar-reaching effects
for good.
