CHAPTFR XXI

THE charming thing about Mol
L ly's speech was the nsiyete of
it. 1t wasn't properly a speech at
all. But a spontaneous little cry,
as sincere as her sparkling eyes. As
unstudied as the rakish angle of her
demure pearl cap.
"Oh, thank YOU! Thank you!'
she cried. I'm so happyl"
Then she looked down at Jack,
sitting in the front row. Between
her mother and father She had
seen him from the wings. white as
his glistening shirt front. And she
knew that he was nervous-fright-
ened for her
And she flung her arms apart, so
that the roses all spilled. They fell
at her feet And some Of them
chung to the folds of her stif green
skirt. catching on the pearls that
sparkled like frosted dew.
Il love YOU" she cried 4 love
you-love youl'
And the audience clapped and
called. and cried and cried for more
And hardly any one knew that Mol

only Red Flynn knew. And Mr..
Durbin, perhaps.
But Jack. with his heart in his
mouth, was only thinking of how
beautiful she looked. How like a
princess out of n fairy tale. with
he. green dress and her green eyes,
and her red, red hair.
He saw her little sparkling shoes,
where they peeped from the hem or
her skirt. and her train. like cloud
of a seaweed. And he thought she
vas like 2 sea nymph. dressed UP
for 2 ball. But he never guessed
that she was talking straight TO HIM.
Then Francesca GLASGOW. who
played Delphine Darrows. came on
in her satin Wedding gown. like a
bride from the grave And all the
other characters. one by one. Even
to the Judge. in his black robes, and
the court officers in their brass but
tons. And the reporters. who had
sat about the long table in the
courtroom scene. Until the whole
cast was assembled before the pur-
pie velvet curtains, holding hands
like children in a row.
Then the audience called for
Molly again. And now she dragged
Red on with her And she made
another little speech
This is Mr.. George Flynn. she
told them. only. everybody calls him
Red. He wrote half the play, but
he's very modest
Speech Speech yelled the au-
dience. Speech. Red Speech!"
But Red shook his head and
looked unutterably uncomfortable
And when Molly dropped his hand
he ran of like a small boy. But
the audience liked that and called
for him again and again.
Then Francesca GLASGOW. with her
arms fun of white orchids. made a
studied speech. Miss GLASGOW had
had curtain calls before, and so she
did II very we'll indeed.
When she was through they called
for the producer.

 SCHOOL ISSUE
Educational Problems Are Discussed at Doug
 las PIT. A.

'Parent-I cacher Association or ganizations have done a great deal of good in the past and will always do great deal of good,' said Leo w. Breuer, Commissioner of Educa- tion, in a talk before the Douglas Parent Teacher Association las st evening
 "Educational features for the s. E. Alaska fair should be built up" continued MT. Breuer. Many people visit fairs who do not visit schools. The preparation of school material for the fair should be en- couraged. In this way people can see the practical product of educa- tion."
 MT. Breuer compared the early log type of school, where the three "R's" were taught, with the mod ern school and it's varied courses of study. The better trained the teachers, the better the product turned out in boys and girls. The new Certificate Law, to go into effect next year in Alaska, pro vides that teachers must have two years of normal or college trainin | he said.
 "The jump from the eighth grade to the freshman year in high school has been bridged by the 6-3-; plan adopted in many towns" said MT. Breuer. Many students dror out when they finish the eighth grade although there has been ar enormous increase in the number who go to high school. The aim now is to retain the child longer in school. Activities and studio: are arranged to fit his talents and interests"
 A short business meeting opened the session, followed by an inter- esting program for which most ol the numbers were furnished by the primary grades.
 The program committee for the November meeting is composed o1 Mrs. Guerin, Mrs. Pearce and Miss Brennecke
