Young America needs s place in
which to play as much aa it needs ac
quaintance withr the "three r's" and
an occasional touch from the parental
or pedagogical switch. Weston is
unusually fortunate in Uu particular.
Its school campus, several acres in ex
tent, is virtually a public common. It
was bought by public subscription and
turned over to the state, which now
has no further use for it, having aban
doned its normal school plant at Wes
ton in a violent and pettish fit of par
simony. Weston consoles itself very
pleasantly with the buildings and
grounds, hss commodious quarters for
its schools and is enabled to train its
boys into sturdy manhood. Noting
the manner in which lively amateur
bail tossers are developed upon this
: was a pleasant and noteworthy
function, and came as nr to dtavrv-
Inr the overworked sdjectlve, brilliant.
aa many others to which It la applied.
The banquet, especially, was a sdnlll
latlne; success. Weston Is a communi
ty of food cooks, and some of the brat
of their number are on the member
ship roll of the Saturday Afternoon
Club. Working In enthusiasm, har
mony and collaboration, thry produced
a splendid fraat for Saturday's affair.
The Droarsm was a rood one. In-
tructlvtf facts were set forth In sev
eral of the addresses, and these sub
stantial dishes were seasoned with the
sauce of pleasing; music. Both of the.
soprano soloists were recslled by the
dclihted audience. ' Mrs. Minnie Wal

club's president. Mrs. F. D. Watts, who
had not yet returned from California.

were sent out from the County Su
perintendent's office, and every grade

The county is divided Into 16 divisions.

has never bad occasion to rear ret the will meet at Pendleton for the final
three wetlcs of hard work he put in,
associated with Robert Jamieson, in
raising money for its purchase. He
'ould only suggest that the young men
and boys who use it so freely should
be sufficiently considerate of residents
in the neighborhood and sufficiently re
gardful of the open school windows aa
to be . a bit more guarded in their
language.
REAL KOKAUTT
"Provincialism ia not morality," says
Dr. Frank Crane, "although many con
scientious people feel that whatever is
different ia immoral
To many an honest villager and
farmer the city is sink of iniquity.
The unconscious ground for this con
viction is simply that many things are
done in citiea to which tha rural
dweller is not accustomed.
"I find a very common expression of
opinion among those of any nation,
section or any race that those of an
other s?e quite loose in morale.' The
English think French are libertines,
and the French think English are hypo
crites. Methodists imagine shocking
things of Roman Catholica, and the lat
ter can curdle your blood with ac
counts of the vileness of Methodists.
contest April 10th. One of the division
contests will be held at Weston April
17th. Representatives from nine
