Burger who organized the boys band last fail is again instructing the boys after a rest during the school vacation. The writer interviewed Mr. Burger recently and the band had twelve ' members with a prospect of several new members, . The boys do very well while practing as a body, but there is not the time t and interest given by the boys during their home prat Lice. The writer feels that a word from this paper which will reach the "parents and citizens of the community with respect to en couraging an organization of this ' nature would not be out of place and would say that an or ganization of this kind is sr step higher for our community and it would appear enly fair to Mr. Burger that the boys be provided with the necessary instruments and the parents take an interest to the extent of requiring their. boy er boys to devote so much time each day to practice. It might sound from this writing ' as though Mr. Burger were dis ' eouraged with the support given him but such is not true as the writer be taken this means of arousing more, .and greater in- ten at In oar boy's band.
