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

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.
