44.6 per -rent .of all the Hlxth

paused an eighth grade standard
in penmanship and. have, rooelved
tfoolr, final certificates., The papers
were- all graded, by the liico run
lisalng, Co .. publishers of the Wee
System, which. Is used here.
, , According, to ; the Medford plan
" these pupils-will not bo required
to take the subject of penmanship
;. during the ' remainder of their
time,. In school... ; providing they
keep up . tho standard of writing
they - have nttalned. Such pupils
.are tested each semester and any
who fall' below the quality of
.writing demanded are re-assigned
to a penmanship class.
. In a, letter to Sunt. B. H. Hed
rick, W. J. Rice, president of the
nice Publishing Co.. states, "With-
out. any thought of flottory, I lie
Hove that, you are doing tho most
, systematic -and thorough Job of

.'' Ii commenting upon tho subject
Supt' Hbdrlcit said, 'Credit for
tif Is. belongs to Miss Lillian Wise
and our elementary grade writing
v;tea.chers. They have be?n work
ing Intelligently and hnrd and aro
'ffbttine results.
', "We are not, however, making
uny fetish of penmanship at all
and I do not think we aro doing
any moro for that subject than
wo. aro for the otharH. , Hosults In
this subject, howovor, show
more ;quickly. 1
' "About two 'or three years ago
Wo . directed, our teachers toward
' aVsorlous stiidy of the subject of
penmanship'. Ampng other thlngo
. wo surveyed tho results Doing got
ten elsewhera In tho state, colloct-
ed and soorod hundrds nt pnpers,
we found that eighth grade pupils
oh the avoriig'Oi for tho state at
largo." could only- write .a. fifth
grade stnndurd. Our own pupils
wore riot ' much better so we . sot
to. work." Tho first thing, wo dlsr
carded tho old. unorganised scheme
Of teaching penmanship then 'ho
Ing. used.- Second, w ,' doflnltoly
. , re-organlsed The .touching of the
! subject through tho working of
our courses of study oommlttecs.
Third, we had . our supervisor in
the, junior high, Miss Wise, con
duct classes for tonohors nftor
school hourw, tonohlng them how
' t6 write nnd how to toach It.
Bomo results wore shown , almost
Immediately by the pupils.
"At this time, between one third
and one half of all our pupils nro
not only finishing tho. subject two
years sooner than they did, but
are writing nn eighth grndo stan
dard Instead of a fifth. We ex
pict !nt . least two-thirds of our
pupils to bo doing this by another
yoar. The tlmo saved may be
used by tho pupils Tor othor work.
Not, only this, but it cuts down

Chapter 1
"POOR OLD TONY"
HE people or
Orchard Hill, a
small country
town In Ohio,
call blra 'Poor
Old Tony" and
laugh. 1 have
often wondered
why they laugb.
Antonio, him
self, when he no
tices my Indig
nation, always
says
in DIs gentle way, "Never
mind; In laughter fools betray their
Ignorance; wise men tliolr under
standing." Among those who know his his
tory and appreciate his character.
Antonio Latour Is not a person to
excite ridicule. His name once
promised to endure with the names
of Booth and Barrett and Irving
and Mansfield and other actors of
their day and rank. You who are
old enough to remember tho thea
ter In the yeafs from '70 to 'S3 will
recall the great artists with whom
M was associated. He had only
small parts. It la true, but the crit
ics spoke very kindly ot his work.
Many times I hare seen tho news
paper' clippings, yellow with age
"I overheard
and worn by much handling, which I
the old actor treasures with such
pride. '
But Antonio Latotir's curoer was
ended when be was still a young
man. He Is old now, with silver
white hair, faded blue eyes, and
thin trembling limbs; but bis One
old actor's face Is lighted with rare
Intelligence and feeling; he car
rles himself with that proud erect
ness which distinguishes gentle
men of the stage und Le never ap
pears without a flower in the lapel
ot his ancient coat.
Antonio lives alone 'n the an
cient bouse In which bis father was
born. From It he can see the many
acres that once belonged to his an
cestors. His family was rich, the
villagers will toll you, as they won
der how the old actor manages now
to keep soul and body togothcr.
"Poor, Old Tony.' they will say.
"be set out to be a famous actor
and now be has nothing."
But Old Tony laughs and says,
"I have enough. WhOL one has
nothing one has freedom from a
host ot pestiferous bores. These
Rood neighbors do not know how
rich I am."
One evening, with a chuckle ot
mirth, Antonio said: "I overheard
that Buxton woman talking about
me today. Sho and two other wo
men stopped In front ot my house.
'And this horo.' sho said (tho old
actor mimicked the Buxton wo
man's voice to perfection), Ma the
old Latour homo that I've', been
tolllti' you about. Old Tony La
tour he's lived hero all, alono evor
since he obme tuck from actln' on
tho ttago In New York, He's a
good-foMiothln' a disgrace to his
family and tho community. Look,
the houso ain't had a brush of paint
ner a tap of a hammer linen his
poor paw died. Ills pnw nnd mnw
they was a real credit to the town
and church. Kldor Latonr hla paw
Was. Sho was a Deaconess:. Ain't
nobody ever Itenrd tell what it was

Tony done when be was an actor
that made him quit and come home
like he did, but It must 'a' .been
somothln' awful' 'cause he ain't
never .been, no good to himself ner
to anybody else since.' f With an
other chuckle, the old actor ex
plained! "The good ladles did not
know I was Just behind the hedge,
digging up-tito ground for violets."
He paused, then added softly, "Har
riet loved violets." ;!.
Because ' his life ' experience' Is
what It Is, Old Tony thinks of bis
story as a play and of life Itself In
terms ot the theater. Many times
I have beard him declaim:
All the world's a stage.
And nil the men and women merely
players, . - .
They have their exits and their en
trances. ... . . ... -
"Circumstances," the old. actor
says, "shift the scones; Fate Is the
stage manager; Nature the direc
tor; Ood the producer;, we. the ac
tors, enter, play our parts and oil t
Tho play goes on and on and. on.
Ant always tliero are members ot
tho company standing In the wings."
. Our little village or Orchard Hill,
with the First National Bank, the
Owl Drug Store, Harriet's house,
tho home of the Careys and the
county Jail, to Old Tuny Is. a stage
set. The back drop Is a scene ot
rolling hills with farm houses and
fields showing here and there amid
that Buxton woman talking about
tho wqotls. Tuuy's house lis well
down stugo close to the footlights,
as It were at the edge ot the vil
lage, overlooking the river, the val
ley, and the wide sweep of country
beyond. . ,
The Orchard Hill set has been
changed since Antonio Latour's
first entrance over 70 years ago.
The simple peace and quiet of the
ccuntry village where Harriet and
Tony played their parts Is gone
now. Modern Improvements have
come to. Orchard Hill notaries. Li
ons, Klwanls, a Chamber of Com
moroe, an Advertising Club, boost
ers. When I remark, with lamen
tations, on these changes the old
nclnr says, "Oh, well the artists
oi tho theater. you know, have al
ways boon forced to yield a little
to the box office." , .
Many ot the actors who were on
the atngo with Harriet and Tony In
thoso opening scenes have made
their final exits. Nor will Old Tonr
bo sorry to make his exit, for he
believes, as Pierre Donovan be
lieves, that Harriet Noel, Pierre's
mother, Is there off stage waiting
to welcome him and that together
he nnd the woman ho loved with
such raro devotion will stand In the
wings watching her son as he acts
his part In this play which we call
Lite.
You know who Pierre Donovan
Is, ot course. Perhaps you have
seen him on the stage. There are
those who say that his name will
go down In theatrical history as
the greatest actor ot his generation.
Orchard Hill says that Antonio
Latour hat wasted his life In Idle
ness. Tho old actor, when Aroused,
says of the villagers. "Clods, dolts!
Thoy do not know how great a
thlntr It Is tn have helped to make
an ortlsl like Pierre Donovan. What
can theso people, hi their narrow
llttio conisnonplaco colls, wallod lu

And then tho old actor falters;
the spouting flames subside: the
fire becomes a steady enduring
glow, and, bis voice softens rever
ently;: "Harriet was a groat soul-4

self to tne -stage. What an actress

A n t o n i o's forefathers .. . wsn
French, and Harriet's ancestors
were of the same race. Harriet's fa
ther, "Doc" Noel, was druggist
and be and his wife were highly re
spected In Orchard H1IL Mrs. Noel
died when Harriet was born and
the child was raised, by an ugly old
housekeeper, feared by every
youngster In the village. Forced, to
live too much within herself, the
little girl soon learned that she
could trick the housekeeper or ber
father Into granting .her almost
anything and so grew up doing
much as she pleased.
She was never a pretty child, M
so. many little g'rls are pretty. Her
face was freckled, her nose strong

"what the child would some to."
. In the years of their childhood.
Tony and bis little girl neighbor
were often together, but she was
ni more to him thdtMjJils other hoy
and girl playmates. He did not
become conscious of ner until the
year before they graduated from
thi publla school." Tony . II;,
Harriet was two years younger.
She bad been a grade behind him
but that, year ebo caught op with
his class so that they would grad
ate together., . g, . ' .
One evening when we wero sit-,
ting In tle summer twilight the old
gentleman said. "It Is. strange how
that part ot my lite when I 'was 'an'
actor seems to ma. now. to he only
a dream." And then be continued
as though he had forgotten my
presence: "But my childhood and
youth which I spent here In Or
ctai ' Hill with Harriet those
years of my life' are very real,".
They who pride themselves upon
being too sophisticated and world-ly-wlsa
to Indulge In. sentiment will
laugh with bard laughter at this
old man's memolos. They will say
that Antonio Latour's story Is senti
mental bosh. .'.',,
Well, of this I am convinced:
All normal men and women who
have truly lived do have, such emo
tional memories. And I. believe, ton.
that It tbe truth were known, the
heart experiences, which -.then
world-hardoned critics so cafefullv
hlde are the dearest treasures r-l
their years.
As for what, are termed th"
realities of lite do not fear. D
