" ! .' ' V- 1 r FAGE SIX ' MTCDFOTCt) MATL TlumTNTO, MRTVFORD, OKICCIOX, SATURDAY, TWORMTTOR 12, "10J-C ' , 6 "V DRAMA LEAGUE DON GOD WORK FOR II SCHOOLS .Apropos of Hie recent presentation , Swedish folk pomes by the Hoose voflohool, our local renter considers it very importnnt and pertinent nt this tiuie to call especial attention to tlio very officient and educational work which the Drama league centers nro doing all over the country in Hchool dramatics and pageantry. Henliring as it does the great value of dramatic interpretation in the child's mental and physical develop inont, tlio Dranin Lenpio considers tlua work tho most potent and far reaching factor in its educational and cultural propaganda. Tho following is an extract taken from the report rondo by the chair man of the pageant committee to the annual ouvention .of tho National Drama League. It boars upon the fitio KB9ibilites of the many phases of this work, and outlines tho various ways in which it can be taken up in conjunction with school curriculums: "I would crento Drama Centers erenting n demand for the festival in school life, as at present it hns no place in the average school curricu lum. Tho cry is that tho school cur riculum is too full to give a place to play activities. The demand can be created by enlightening tho public. Through festivals and pageantK many children can fiud an opportunity for self expression which will bo of in estimable value in later life. If every boy and girl were sufficiently famil iar with the history of his city, state ind country, to. tako rmrt in making it livo again through pageantry; if he were so fnmilinr with folk music, folk lore, folk danco and folk games, that the expressing of these art forms would bo a joy, then thero would bo less work for detention homes and juvenilo courts. This objectivo method of teaching history literature, classics, music and art would so fit children for social scrvico work that the giving of n community historical pageant would be a comparative easy. Children would bo fitted to co-operate with tho grown people. Sixteen years ago municipal playgrounds Hecmed as unattainable as today does this changed curriculum for the schools of America." It will readily be seen that tho work is of a very practical and adaptable nature to school courses and aims. Tho educational department of our local center, through n specially ap pointed commilteo for its introduc tion in our public schools, should find a fertile field, and hopes for good results in the near future. COUNCIL PUIS (GERMAN SPY TURKISH FLEET CHARTER TO VOTE SHIPPED IN TRUNK BOMBARDS BATUN JANUARY ELECTION TAKEN PRISONER HUNDF JOSEPHINE WANTS OUR EXPERT (Grants Pnss Courier.) A. C. Allen, the recently appointed member of tho state horticultural commission from this district, wns in tho city today from Hertford, and met with the fruit growers of this vicinity nt tho Comeinrcinl club rooms. About fifty of the local horticulturists were in attendance at the meeting, which was characterized by harmony and good feeling. The main issue for dis cussion was the proponed appoint ment by tho county court, acting with tho extension department of the ag ricultural college, of a farm adviser, and a resolution was adopted unani mously indorsing 'such action. A becond resolution, also adopted by uuunimous vote, was in favor of the retention of J. F, Uurke as county fruit inspector. Tho meeting was presided over by II. Wood. At Its special meeting last nluht, the city council submitted tho now charter to tho voters at tlio regular municipal election to bo held January 12th. If any ono word can characterlto tho work on tho charter both In tho original drafting committee, tho full commission of 2 1 and In Its considera tion py the members of the council, It Is thoroughness. Not n section or pharse In tho charter escaped a care ful review. Most of last night's session was de voted to tho election provisions, which come In for warm words of praise. It was pointed out that Aus tralia, which had led tho world In election methods nnd from whom we had obtained our "Australian ballot" now In use, had long ago changed to tho Improved method adopted for this now charter. Tho best of feeling prevailed and the spirit of an earnest desire to mafco any possible Improvement, .con trolled tho proceedings. A large number of citizens wero present nnd Joined freely In tho discussions. Colonel Sargent In voting for the charter, said, "I havo gone over this work word for word, twice and have suggested conceivable Improvement. I wanted my vote hero to mean that I knew absolutely every provision of tho charter and that I could recom mend it to tho people. I am happy to be able to consclencloualy and en thusiastically vote for It." Nominations for threo councllmcn and a maor will be made for the coming election Just as though the charter was not up for adoption. Tho hold-over nnd newly elected council men will bo members of the new board with the newly elected mayor, as tho seventh member and president thereof. As such president, ho will be tho chief txecuttve of tho city. LONDON, Doc. Hi. A vigilant ens tonis officer nt Ornvosciul made a Mnntionnl rupture today of n Oer- mnn army officer, whom ho extract ed from hiding in n huge trunk that was about to be shipped from Ornves eiul to Rotterdam. This trunk was going forward as ordinary merchandise on board the steamer ltaluvier. Tho customs offi cer became suspicious and gavo orders that tho padlocks on the trunk bo chiseled off. This was done and when the lid was removed his sus picions wore justified. A man later uleulilied ns a Oounnn ofticcr, was lifted out of the bow lie was prompt ly rcmou'd to the Gravesond police station. Nodding, food nnd water were found in the trunk nnd it was evident that the man was prepared for n long stay. It is believed that this officer made his escape from one of the internment camps in England nnd it is evident that he must have had accomplices in his effort to leave tho country hidden in the trunk'. It is supixiscd that ho was endeavoring to convey information to Oennany. IED KILLED E IN GO TO WORK LONDON, Dee. Hi, 1 12 :-. p. tu.
