MAGNOLIA PARENT-TEACHER 
MEETING 
(Continued from page 14.) 
Mr. Averell, who has had years of 
practical experience in dealing with 
boys and girls, spoke of the increas- 
ing importance the public playground 
is playing in the lives of the children 
of today. ‘The playground is a tre- 
mendous developing force and can 
work great good or harm. To be 
successful, the playground must be 
centrally located and, more than that, 
must be well supervised and the Par- 
ent-Teacher association may do much 
toward this end. 
In closing the speaker told of some 
other interesting lines of work in 
which such an organization as the 
Parent-Teacher association is invalu- 
able, such as improving and develop- 
ing the beauties of a city or town even 
by such simple methods as by picking 
up stray paper. Mr. Averell also 
made a strong plea for church-going 
among boys and girls as tending to 
develop and broaden their minds as 
well as elevating their morals. 
At the close of Mr. Averell’s ad- 
dress, which was greatly enjoyed, the 
following program was presented: 
Piano Solo, Miss Edna Symonds 
Violin Solo, Ernest Lucas 
Reading, Miss Fanny Atwood 
Vocal Solo, Miss Clara Corren 
Reading, Miss Fanny Atwood 
Ernest Lucas 
Vocal Solo, Miss Emily Ferriera 
Piano Solo, Miss Symonds 
Miss Symonds’ playing was very 
enjoyable as was also Ernest Licas’ 
and the readings, “Wanted, A Drink,” 
“Her First call on the Butcher” and 
“Friendship” were extraordinarily 
good. Miss Corren, who sang “Face 
to Face,” has sung in Magnolia many 
times and her voice is too well known 
to need comment here. Miss Fer- 
riera, a Manchester young woman, 
delighted her audience with ‘The 
Last Rose of Summer.” The whole 
meeting was very successful and drew 
a large attendance in spite of the 
storm.

The members of the Democratic 
City Committee met in Beverly Tues- 
day evening and organized for the 
coming year. At this meeting Ed- 
ward J. Jordan of Beverly was en- 
dorsed as a candidate for the Pride's 
Crossing postoffice. As yet a Demo- 
cratic postmaster has not been ap- 
pointed to the office. The position 
has been held by Postmaster Elisha 
Pride. When Jeremiah F. Brown 
was a candidate last year. those op- 
posed to him took up the matter with 
the department officials at Washing- 
ton and it was understood that their 
decision was that Mr. Brown could 
not be given the position because he. 
lived out of the district. If this be 
true the same decision would apply 
to the new candidate, Mr. Jordan, 
who also lives in Beverly and is there- 
fore out of the district. 
We are pleased to report the con- 
tinued improvement of Miss Mar- 
garet Brady, who has been confind to
