The apron social by the Golden
Rule class Of the M. P. Sunday
school on Thursday evening of last
week was a success. The apron pro-
dUced $2S.10. Mrs. James T. Mason
presented the best poem and was
awarded the apron.
We have refrained from entering
into the Milton school controversy,
but we feel constrained to mention
the mismanagement of the bacca-
laureate services at the school ON
Sunday afternoon. It was disgrace
full, and certainly must have been
embarrassing to the Rev. G. S.
Ross, who delivered the sermon.
The affair was set for and announc-
ed in the churches of the town for
two O'Clock. At that hour no fac
ulty member appeared in the audi
torium to assist or instruct the |
speaker, who tried to get a pianist |
to play the songs on the printed |
sheet. There was no orchestra-and
we are reliably informed that the
school orchestra was not invited or
instructed to play for the occasion.
At 2:45 the audience was disturbed
by approaching footsteps of the
graduating class, the faculty and the
board of trustees marching down
the aisles to the front of the audi
forum. The speaker, who could not
find his way to the rostrJim, finally
was guided by a member of the trus-
tees. He stood on the stage alone.
With no one to play, one of the
graduating class presently arose
and sat at the piano. Song No. was
sung. Then the speaker, seeing that
it was up to him, began the services.
Prayed and entered upon his dis
course. After which he looked
around for instruction, and, none !
coming, announced that the affair
was over. This is a strictly true ac-
count Of the disgraceful affair. The
audience arose and left. The COM ,
ments from said audience was GER /,
tainly not complimentary to the +,
person supposed to be the head of
our school. We have a splendid 8
building and, we believe, a capable
corps of under teachers, and il is c
opinion of many that with these nee a
essary parts we need a competent
leader if we are to get the results =
ne desire. The people of this school \
district are aroused at the ineficien- :.
~ of the present school hook-up and
hope that those higher up will in a,
gestigate and act promptly. =
