CELEBRATED FILM
TO BE SHOWN HERE
SUNDAY EVENING

Frank w. Dell's celebrated moy-
ing picture Making America Safe
for Boys and Girls'' will be shown
at a union meeting of churches to
be held in the State Street Christ
ian church next Sunday evening at
1880 p. m.
This picture has been accepted
by the American public as a true
and graphic portrayal of some of
the most important phases of con-
temporary life. 1t has been eX-
hibited several times in the valley,
although never in Ell Centre, to
great audiences.
The picture is being presented by
the churches cooperating in the
Union Vacation Bible school which
starts next Monday morning in the
Harding school.
1t is thought that the picture
will be of equal value and interest to
children, young people and par
ents. Actual scenes, real persons
and events that really happened
are woven together with a story Of
thrilling interest.
There is no admission fee but an
offering will be taken. All are iu-
vited without regard to age or creed.

TEACHERS TO
BE STUDENTS
IN VACATION

That so per cent of the Ell Cen
tro elementary school teachers will
attend summer schools, further fit
ting themselves for their work
here, Is the information which has
been received by Guy A. Weakley,
district superintendent.
Various schools will claim the
teachers and the superintendent s
office has worked with individuals
in helping them select the schools
and courses which will be of most
value to them in their particular
plans.
Weakley states that he believes
this percentage is unusually high
and states that it has occurred
without pressure being brought to
bear. The teachers themselves
have wanted to further equip them
selves to maintain the high STAN
dard set by the elementary schools.
AS for himself, Superintendent
Weakley hopes to be able to at
tend summer school at U. S. c., his
plans depending upon his work
here.
The elementary schools have re-
Gently given a series of standard
tests to the students and Weakley
is hoping ito take this material
and with the aid of the school Of
education, work it out, evaluating
it, and using the information thus
gained in planning the school pro-
gram for the coming year.
