He said 1t is not American to have
laws compelling school attendance and
not permitting parents a voice in Sc

the selection of officers who direct ed
ucational affairs. The school system
here, ne said, will never be what is
desired by majority of the resi-
dents until the elective system for
members Of the Board Of Education
is enacted into law. thus causing
board members to be answerable to
the voters for their actions.
Necessity for resorting to the half
day system Of school attendance be-
cause Of lack of room and the use Of
portable buildings, which We're de-
clared a menace to health. We're
stressed as arguments in favor of the

board.
The future of the Nation depends
on the moral, mental and physical
training of the children of today, and
unless success attends the teachings,
Mr. .Gasque said. success attained In
other lines will not matter. He urged
the citizens to be fair in their actions
toward Congress, to give credit when

A talk particularly appropriate to
the audience was that of Governor
Ralph Q. Brewster, speaking Sum
day afternoon at the final boys aft
ernoon meeting of the season which
was held at the Augusta Y. NJ. c. A.
building. Governor Brewster point
ed out the necessity and value of
having good intentions and of stick
ing to things until the objective was
won. He told many interesting sto-
ries to illustrate his point and urged
the boys to always affirm and be-
lieve that they are living in the fin
est city of the finest state of the
finest country of the world and that
they have the best friends, schools
and homes in the country.
A fine five reel moving picture, en-
titled Yankee Doodle, Jr.." was
shown by Boys Work Secretary
Raymond S. Grant, who was in
charge of the meeting, and this
proved very interesting to the boys.
Physical Director Jack Mahan led in
the singing.

MUSICAL TALENTS
WASTED FOR LACK
OF INSTRUMENTS
Augusta School Music Super
visor Would Aid Two Eager
Grammar School Boys

Lacking the instruments with
which to express in harmony that
supreme love of music which, is in
grained within them, two grammar
school boys of this city, trudge to
school daily to drink in with thirsty
minds everything pertaining TO
music that may come within their
grasp. Happy whenever the super
visor comes to tell them new and
wonderful things of that art TO which
they both aspire. they devour hel
words and treasure a longing that
some day they too, may know as
much of music as she does.
Talent of a high order is displayed
by one of these boys, especially, and
he has expressed to Miss Gertrude
Thorne, the supervisor of music in
the city schools. His great desire to
play a violin. In telling her of this
ambition his eyes sparkled, and
somewhat reluctantly told of condi
tons which would preclude the pos
sibilfy of his securing a violin
through his own efforts. The other,
also greatly interested in the violin,
is one of a large family where be-
cause of circumstances, it would be
q financial imposs:bility to secure for
him the instrument which he Graves.
Thinking of the two boys with
their love of music and the belief of
both that they could not have violins,
much as they want them, Miss
Thorne thought also of the many in
struments of that nature which there
must be in this city. that are not
now in use and of the joy which
could be brought to the children if
they might have two of these instru-
ments. She has talked the matter
over with several people in this city
and it was decided that if an appeal
were made violins might be secured
for these boys and arrangements
might be made. for their lessons SO
that they could realize their ambi-
ton to play a violin.
Miss Thorne would herself super
wise their musical education and will
be very much pleased to hear from
people of this city who have violins
which they would be willing to give
for such a worthy cause os this.
